You're the best friend that I ever had.

Today, I got to see my quidditch team for the first time in two months, and it felt like we'd only been apart for a week. The Spartan Spitfire were invited to play at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI for the release of the final Harry Potter film, against Oakland University's up-and-coming team, the Oakland Owls, as well as teach other muggles ("non-magic folk") how to play. It was an all day event and we played on the lawn in front of the Ford IMAX Theatre. So many young kids and groups showed up to learn how to play, it was so much fun being able to teach them and see the excitement on their faces as they learned it's possible to play without being able to fly! I think the parents enjoyed this just as much, too. :p

Well anyway, we were scheduled to play two games against OU throughout the day and we DOMINATED with scores of 250-70 and 170-20 respectively. In OU's defense, they just recently started their team and it was the first time they played against another school instead of just scrimmages against themselves. And I think they played rather well for being so new, so congratulations to them! I'm stoked to play them again, especially once they get a little more experience in the IQA! I was also happy to learn that the Owl's seeker is actually one of my friends from high school whom I graduated with. What are the chances of that?!

Shannon and I, a friendly rivalry. :]

The Henry Ford Staff gave also gave each team a nifty trophy for participating in their event. It's a wax model of Henry Ford with a broom between his legs on top of a gold painted cup and pedestal.  Such a creative idea! Do you think it's worthy to place in the Skandalaris building with the rest of our football trophies and such? :p

Everyone who came to play some QUIDDITCH.

I was just so happy to see my team and PLAY quidditch again. I guess I never realized how much I missed it until I stepped on to the field today.. I can't wait for next season now!

Here's a heads up for you though! I'm going to be in Disney World for the next week and a half, so I probably won't be able to update this blog for a little while. Don't worry though, I'll have plenty of pictures to upload when I get back! :]
