What's it like being on a Quidditch team? Is it terribly hard to balance Quidditch and your studies?

Follow-up question: Could someone teach me how to play? I know all of the rules already, so I wouldn't waste your time.

Micah brought this up, so...

Who would be interested in intramural Quidditch matches once or twice a month? Just us. The seniors and juniors can watch, but they can't play.

Yeah, alright. Well. I don't do anything special. All you gotta do is pay attention in class — you know, 'cause there's not much time to make it up later if you were slacking. Oh, and do your homework. Apparently, "game coming up" isn't a good enough excuse for skipping an essay. Go figure. Anything more than that, and I'd just drop the cl

I've actually developed a new one.

This must be a cry for help.
