Okay, so I tried playing Beater, and it's really HARD. On Saturday, TGTSNBN hosted its first Triwizard Tournament, and I was competing for Beauxbatons. The first task was a round robin of Quidditch games. First Hogwarts beat Durmstrang, and then we played Hogwarts. We had such an annoying Snitch - he wouldn't actually run across the field, but just danced around the border - that I just got fed up, and we lost that game. So in oru match against Durmstrang, I switched to Beater. It was exhausting! As Seeker, I just had to run for short intervals until I got the Snitch or he ran out of bounds. As Beater, I was constantly running to retrieve Bludgers. And I had no idea what was going on in the rest of the game. Fortunately, we had reserves, so there were three Beaters and we just kept rotating. We did win in the end though, 220-10, and placed second in the task to Hogwarts.

The rest of the Tournament was easier. The second task was twelve three-way duels. I was chosen twice, and won both rounds - the first one was Black family characters (which was over after like five names), the second was magical creatures. I got lucky on that one, because the Hogwarts champion was truly formidable, but she mistakenly repeated Hinkypunk after I had said it already (leading to a hilarious "Really? Oh f*** balls!"). Beauxbatons won seven duels and won that round, with Hogwarts a distant second.

The third task, courtesy of the WADA, was to put together a skit in half an hour and perform it. Ours was about Snape having a dream that the class discovers he is gay and they all start hitting on him. I was one of the students hitting on Snape - it was SO much fun!!! (this is all on Youtube, by the way) We won that task too, so Beauxbatons wont he entire tournament! Hogwarts was a close second, and Durmstrang came last. My team then blew out the Goblet of Fire, which won't be reignited until the next tournament (because this one was so much fun, we HAVE to do it again!)

Quidditch sounds really, really hard!

Also, everything that you just described sounds like SO MUCH FUN. I wish there were more HP nerds around from where I live!

Ooh, post the Youtube link!

If you go to my favorites, you'll find all the skits we performed.
