Hi!

I'm working this properly, aren't I? Sorry, it's just taken me a bit of practise to work out. Much easier to just send an owl, but I haven't seen any around. Anyway, I'm Cedric Diggory and I've only just arrived. I'll be working in the magical department, but that's not all I need to do. I've done some thinking, and our futures are rather uncertain, aren't they? We don't know if we'll go home again, or even if we'll live. But that means we have to live while we can, right? 'Seize the day', as they say?

So I thought we could possibly have some fun. Meet me down in the Sensoriums if you'd like to learn to fly on a broom. It's more comfortable than it looks, I promise. And if I'm understanding how these rooms work properly, you'll be safe. Anyone's welcome, don't be shy! We really ought to get to know each other. Maybe we could even fly in groups if you're comfortable. There are also sports that can be played in the air, but I'd save those for another lesson.

Honestly, the image of flying on a broom is completely ridiculous.

Apparition's more efficient, yes, but it's rather enjoyable to fly on one.

I'll bet you wouldn't say that if you saw a game of Quidditch!

... What's apparition?

And Quidditch?

Apparition is the ability to turn on the spot and instantly transport yourself from one place to another. It can't be done on the ship while it's moving, and I've yet to receive training in it, but I'd like to learn someday.

And Quidditch is a sport played on brooms. You have seven players on a team. all catching and dodging various enchanted balls. It's quite complicated, but that's the short version.

Oh. Yeah. That'd definitely be more convenient.

... And I see. That doesn't really explain much at all. You'll have to show me what a game looks like in the Sensoriums sometime.
