The british and irish quidditch league

As the summer approaches and the International Wizarding School Competition draws to a close, and there is only one thing that the Wizarding World is thinking about: Quidditch. The season is upon us, and in the British Isles we will be focusing on the British and Irish Quidditch League.

In a shocking turn of events, the qualification rounds saw a number of teams not make the final cut this year. Unsurprisingly, Chudley Cannons had a spectacular defeat against the Ballycastle Bats and have finally been relegated from the league altogether.

The Wigtown Wanderers had been doing very well, but when they were decimated by the Appleby Arrows and the Wimbourne Wasps, they simply didn’t have the points to qualify. The captain refused to comment, and in fact threw a rather rude hand gesture to the WWN reporter. Other teams that have not qualified for this season are:

1. Falmouth Falcons
2. Kenmare Kestrels
3. Puddlemere United

The fixtures have been released and the first round will go as follows:

Ballycastle Bats vs. Appleby Arrows

Montrose Magpies vs. Holyhead Harpies

Pride of Portree vs. Wimbourne Wasps

Caerphilly Catapults vs. Tutshill Tornados

This week, we will watch and cover the match between Northern Ireland’s Ballycastle Bats and England’s Appleby Arrows. Both teams have shown themselves to be fairly formidable during the qualifying stages. Falmouth Falcons would have qualified had it not been for the excellent work of the Ballycastle Bats; their chasers worked together seamlessly and had possession of the Quaffle for a good percentage of the game. The Falcons had ended up in the undesirable position of having to get the Snitch just to get a reasonable score, and still they would not have won. The Bats Seeker, however, snagged the Snitch, leaving the score at a very impressive: 360 – 40.

The first match is already shaping up to be very interesting, as the Arrows have not missed a single Snitch throughout the season. Their Seeker has been on top form, brand new and straight out of Hogwarts, she has been a sensation. The daughter of little known Puddlemere United Keeper, Oliver Wood, seems to be one of the next Quidditch Superstars! It is said that Bowman Wood is named after the famed Seeker who invented the Golden Snitch.

INTRO TO Quidditch

Quidditch… where to start with this dangerous and extremely entertaining sport? If you want to read about it, you can get a copy of Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp about the history of the sport, or Flying with the Cannons about the worst Quidditch team in the British League. However, Quidditch is better played than read about. Whether you are the seeker or a chaser, every member of a team plays an important role, and if one member of the team is taken out, that results in a bad outlook for the entire team.

There are seven positions on every Quidditch team. The Chasers are the goal scorers, using the Quaffle to score points by throwing them through the goal hoops at either end of the pitch. The Keeper prevents the other team from scoring. The Beaters use small bats to aim dangerous Bludgers at enemy team members and keep them away from their own teammates. The Seeker can win the game by catching the super fast flying Golden Snitch which is worth one hundred and fifty points.

Quidditch is extremely dangerous, so get on your protective gear, grab your broom, and let’s get into the air!

THemes

Hogwarts – Wronski Feint
This is a tactic used by seekers when they pretend or fool another seeker into believing that they have found the Golden Snitch. For this round, you will be writing about a character or characters who use trickery or misdirection to gain the upper hand in a competition or situation.

Ilvermorny – Scoring
Chasers use the Quaffle to score just as a Seeker can score by catching the snitch! The aim for your theme us to write about someone scoring or achieving something that will help them on the way to victory!

Beauxbatons – Blocking
Keepers will block those trying to score, and beaters will block just about anything! You have to write about a character who is trying to block the success or achievement of another.

Durmstrang – Beating
Beaters are the most aggressive players. They use teamwork and brute force to get ahead. They cause destruction and mayhem wherever they go. You must incorporate this into your characters. Your task is to write about a duo that uses brute force to get what they want!

Mahoutokoro – Seeking

A seeker will work alone for the soul purpose of finding the Golden Snitch. You should write about a character that must work along to find something of great value or something that will aid them in great success, and if you want, you could pit them against one other! Seekers are one on one after all

Feedback

We would like to thank everyone that has participated in our feedback form. Already we have a greater understanding of your likes and dislikes regarding this competition. We have already started to outline changes for the next season of this competition, articles that we would cut, and including things that you have said that you would like. For those that have no yet filled in the feedback form, please find it here:

These changes won’t come into effect until the next season, but here we will try and outline some of the changes we would like to make, or find a solution to issues that you have raised.

We have had 25 responses so far and we have already put together a short evaluation already. 56% of you are completely new to fan fiction competitions and we had 44% comp-experienced writers. This was a great mixture for our competition and we hoped that it was a good experience for all of you!

A great number (76%) was invited by us Headmistresses. This is something we will still be doing for next season, but we also hope to see many of you returning and also bringing some friends along. But we are full of hope as not a single one of you said that they don’t want to join us again and most of you would recommend the comp to a friend!

But now to the changes we already decided on for next Season’s WWN:

Trivia – This seems to be a favoured part of the WWN, however many feel like they don’t have as much of a chance at getting those points due to the first come first served policy. Time zones get in the way and where this section is concerned, some could have a little bit of an advantage. We will be considering this closely and find a way that remains fair, but also gives everyone an equal opportunity at getting these points.

Grammar School – This section will be changed dramatically. While we will still feature grammar, spelling and punctuation challenges within this segment, we will be incorporating other areas of writing too. Character development, world building, descriptions, plot devices, dialogue and anything else you asked us to do! If there is an area that you want covered, let us know and we will be sure to include it at our earliest convenience. We will also be brainstorming a way to give you more time to work on these stories that doesn’t affect how our point system works. This is because the grammar school points for a given round are put towards that round’s total. It is on our radar, and we will find a way to give you more time.

Theme/Intro – These are consistently skipped, but we have also had feedback stating that themes could be clearer, or that writers would like more examples of how to use themes and prompts. For that reason, these segments will be replaced with something a little more useful. In the initial round, you will have a basic outline of your theme and the prompt list. The paper will go into detail about how to achieve these themes, and we will write an article on achieving top marks in different kinds of prompts each round.

There are many other changes to come. Next season, we hope that IWSC will be bigger and better, and far more enjoyable thanks to your feedback. For those that have just started in the competition, your opinion is appreciated too. Feel free to write us your feedback in a PM via chat or FFN if you want to check out how everything works around here for the last remaining round and the finals. For those who feel that giving feedback is a useless endeavour and we will not consider your opinion, we will! We can’t do this without participants, and as such your opinion is remarkably important.

How Can I Be A Better Writer?

Time for some more of Headmistress Lun’s creative writing tips! This round we are looking at

Time for some more of Headmistress Lun’s creative writing tips! This round Lun is going to help us to introduce a story. Just look at The Philosophers Stone, the beginning chapters are what draw us in and keep us reading seven books straight, and then we went to the movies too of course! Headmistress Lun has been hard at work trying to reveal some of the secrets to a killer introduction to a story for us.

This article will also be the challenge for this round’s Grammar School! You will need to write a drabble, 500 – 900 words long, with 10% leeway each side. You will be judged on spelling, grammar and punctuation, and the technique we are asking you to use is starting your story with a question or something that makes the reader curious.

Plot and Creativity: ?/2

Spelling: ?/2

Grammar: ?/2

Punctuation: ?/2

Use at least two of the introduction methods below: ?/2

Introducing a Story

Have you ever been in the situation where you have a great idea for a story: Your characters feel just right; you have the most awesome climax already written out; then your fingers hover over the keys, and you are paralysed by the pressure to write the perfect introduction to this incredible idea of yours? This article is going to help you with just that.

Start your story with a question to draw the readers into the story. You have to make them truly curious. Introduce the plot with a mystery, or something your readers want or need to understand. A way to do this is to go for something out of the ordinary that makes them ask: How is this possible? How did it come to this?

Avoid exposition at all costs. Exposition is when you give your reader a rundown of the entire history of the world, or the background of your characters . While it is effective to introduce your readers to the setting, it is incredibly boring and a poor example of showing rather than telling. This will slow down the story, which means you haven’t got your readers attention. Avoid this by beginning with a specific scene or event, and focus on details that reveal the greater context and background of your world. Write your story for intelligent readers that follow the plot actively and can become explorers in your world; thorough world building is essential if you are to do this right. Think of the implications your greater world building has on the everyday life of your characters and the events of your plot. In Harry Potter, the witches and wizards are completely clueless about Muggle culture and technology which tells a whole lot more about their world than just stating that their society is isolated from outer influences. This is a fine example of how we get a greater grasps on a fictional world without the author outlining everything in detail.

Start with action. To make sure your opening is compelling enough to hook the reader straight away, start right where the story gets interesting. You can literally start with a big bang, or metaphorically introduce something grand and life changing for your characters. This way, the reader will be interested enough to wait for character setup and world-building until later. J.K Rowling does this in the very first chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, it is wonderfully quiet but very special. After the initial intense opening, you should pretty quickly go over to introduce your characters and their world properly so the reader can put the introduction into context. This can be seen with the mystery we are presented with by Albus Dumbledore in the very first chapter of Philosopher’s Stone, but then she moves straight into showing us who Harry is.

Start your story by building characters. My theory about good stories is that they are mainly character-driven. We have to understand the characters, we have to be curious about them and they need to feel unique and real. Your reader needs to care about what happens to the characters that you give them, which means they need to be human, likable, but still have flaws. Your introduction can be used to frame a character by putting them in a certain setting and relationship to other characters. Good plot comes with interesting and detailed characters.

Finally, revisit the beginning once you reach the end. A lot can change in the duration of writing your story, you can plan the plot meticulously, you’ll only know if everything works when you are writing it and what you thought the story would turn out in the beginning might not be the same when you reach the end, this is why it is important to make sure your introduction still fits the story as a whole.

STORY TIME WITH HEADMISTRESS CLAIRE

Guest Writer – NinjaDevil

Harry walked back from another detention with Umbridge, holding his hand gingerly. As he passed a suit of armor on his way to the Gryffindor Common Room, and a soothing solution of Murtlap Essence, he heard something. He pulled out his wand instinctively and turned.

   “Lumos,” he muttered quietly, and his wand tip lit. The light fell on a small figure, a little girl. She was sitting behind the suit of armor, invisible unless you were looking, and she was crying. Harry crept forward, lowering his wand.

   “Hi,” he said simply. She looked up at him, her lip trembling, and he was saddened to see that her face was red and teary. He crouched down in front of her.

   “What’s wrong?” he asked kindly. The girl sniffed and wiped her eyes.

   “You-you’re Harry Potter,” she said.

   “Yeah, I suppose so,” Harry said with a smile. “Who are you?”

   “M-Maddie,” she replied, “Maddie D-Decora.”

   “Hey, I remember you,” Harry said, brightening up. “You’re a first-year, aren’t you? You got sorted into Gryffindor?”

   Maddie nodded. “Yes, but Gryffindors are supposed to be brave, and I don’t feel very brave. I should’ve been sorted into Hufflepuff.”

   “Hey, it’s okay,” Harry said, sitting down more comfortably. “I don’t always feel brave, either.”

   “Really?” Maddie asked incredulously.

   “Really,” Harry said, a small chuckle escaping his lips.

   “People make fun of me,” she mumbled, looking down at her hands.

   “Why?” Harry asked, simply.

   “Because I’m a muggle-born,” she mumbled, even softer than before.

   “Well, that doesn’t matter,” Harry said without hesitation.

   “Yes, it does,” she said with another sniff. “People call me stupid, and it’s true. I can’t even make a stupid feather float. I’ll never be good at magic.”

   “Well,” Harry began, “did you know that one of my best friends is a muggle-born?”

   “Really?” Maddie asked again.

   “Yeah, and she’s the smartest person I know. She always gets spells down quicker than my other friends and me.”

   Maddie continued to watch him.

   “She wasn’t too comfortable here in the beginning either, but she made some friends, and this became her home real quick.”

   “So, what should I do?” Maddie asked.

   Harry smiled. “Well, how about you come back to the common room and hang out with my friends and me?”

   Maddie’s face lit up for a split second, before regaining its downcast look. “You don’t want me to hang out with you,” she muttered into her knees. “You’re just being nice.”

   “There’s nothing wrong with being nice,” Harry countered quickly. “Come on, let’s go back to the common room; I’ll introduce you to my friends.”

   “I – okay,” Maddie relented. Harry stood up and outstretched his pain-free hand. Maddie hesitated for a moment, then took it.

   That night, Maddie had the best night of her life. She met Ron Weasley, who was very nice and funny, and she also met Hermione Granger, with whom she had an instant connection. Hermione, she learned, was the muggle-born Harry had been talking about. She was smart, funny, and very sweet and kind. Maddie liked her a lot.

   At one point, she was so caught up in her conversation with Hermione, that she didn’t even notice the envious looks her classmates were throwing her way.

   Maddie Decora soon became one of the top students in her year, receiving occasional tutoring sessions from Hermione, and she made many more friends. She finally felt at home.

The Great Book Review

Durmstrang ~ Songbirds and Starlight by Secretfanfictlover

I really found it interesting to read about such an interesting character pairing. I do have a soft spot for regulus, so this really warmed me to it. I liked the idea of him having a bit of a crush on Pandora, and she seemed sweet, I would have loved to see a touch of Luna there, however. We see where Luna gets her brains from and why she ended up in Ravenclaw too. I loved the little details about Pandora, how she used a knitted bag that I assume was made by herself, and how she just didn’t care what others thought when she was speaking with Regulus. I love how being in the library could make her feel smothered, and that the fresh air was the perfect vice for her to be able to work.

This is just sweet unadulterated fluff, and if that is what you are looking for this is a great place to go. There are sweet moments and a nice resolution, you can imagine how the relationship would progress and continue long after ‘The End’ Despite knowing what was to come in the future and how Regulus died, and how Pandora married Xenophilius Lovegood before accidently killing herself when experimenting with a spell. It was nice to see them both happy before their inevitable futures.

~ Headmistress Verity

Ilvermorny ~ A Day Away by nottheonlyfanaround

Reading the fic that nottheonlyfanaround wrote, it reminded me of everything I love about the Marauders. It was funny, I had the sense of just how important Sirius’ relationships James is to him, especially when compared to the accusation of his mother near the start of the fic.

I firstly loved how the relationship between James and Sirius is portrayed. Its so well done, and I get the sense that these are two guys who would do anything for each other and be there through thick and thin. Especially for Sirius, this is so important as he had never had anyone like that until James.

I also love that you kept bringing back the sentiment “only a day away,” because it stated that as close as he was with James and the subtle hints throughout about his even greater feelings for James, he kept putting it off until the next day, and I find that tragic, given how each of their stories ends.

In short, READ IT! You won’t regret it.

~ Headmistress Hope

Beauxbatons ~ Finding a Way by Paceso ~ Overall JP

Paceso has been on a roll lately. Those Judges Picks just keep coming in, and she didn’t disappoint this round. The story comes directly from Alice Longbottoms perspective, interesting as it is post Cruciatus Curse.

The characterisation, while limited, is perfect. We don’t know much of Alice, because Alice doesn’t know much of herself. Here we read what might be going on for Alice, how hard it is to be inside watching the world without understanding of what is going on. There sweet wrapper becomes poignant and important, and we can see perfectly why Neville treasures each and every one.

There is limited description, but it isn’t needed. The focus is the emotional response we have to the characters and Paceso has shown that beautifully. As I find myself reading, and knowing the story, I am aware of how little hope there is, but I continue to hope to see something in Alice anyway. The way it is written makes it all the more heartbreaking, but also a truly beautiful representation of an Alice, Neville story.

~ Headmistress Verity

Mahoutokoro ~ Ink by Saturnine Spiders

This was a good story, and it made me laugh in places. I feel like you had a good example of situation comedy, and the reality of the teachers point of view; how they push students into difficult situations in the faint and fleeting hope that something just might change.

It was fun to read this from the teacher’s point of view, not often we get a story like that – or at least that I’ve read before, as the majority of the time it comes from the students perspective. As an adult looking down on a situation, we see it differently and seeing that point of view created the humour, for example seeing from Professor Sinistra’s perspective we might see just how childish our favourite characters can be.

I like how Professor Sinistra decided to pair up Harry and Draco and make them have to work together in hopes of making them resolve their differences.

~ Headmistress Claire.

Hogwarts ~ Ginny, Warrior Princess by EaGLes

Love can be scary, and Ginny Weasley is definitely a woman to be feared.

I have never read about someone so in awe and in love and so equally terrified of their wife as Harry is in this amazing story. The descriptions and the inner monologue in this story made me want to stand between Harry and Ginny protectively, and at the same time, I wanted to hit Harry on the head for not learning from previous incidents.

The characters were written with much care and love: Ginny was fierce and exactly how I love her, Harry is fully drugged which makes for some hilarious insight and their children seem to be a real piece of work!

This piece is equally captivating as it is amusing to read. I didn’t even notice how quickly I had reached the end of the story.

FIGURES IN HISTORY

Josef Wronski was a wizard who lived in Poland. He was a Seeker on the Polish Quidditch team, the Grodzisk Goblins, until his retirement.

He is credited with the creation of the Wronski Feint, a dangerous move designed to shake off a pursuer. The move is a popular one, being used by Viktor Krum against Aidan Lynch in the 1994 Quidditch World Cup and by Harry Potter several times during his Quidditch matches at Hogwarts.

Dear Aunt Molly

Dear Aunt Molly,

Hi, how have you been?

Well, I hope.So I’ve heard you are a great baker. I love baking myself, and I like to think I’m good at it, but somehow I can never make good icing. My icing is always too runny or it is too thick and lumpy and doesn’t stay on my cakes. I am a decent baker, and while my cakes are good to eat (mostly) the mess I make of the kitchen while baking is horrifying. How do I make better icings and how do I bake while not making such a mess?
-A Big Fan.

Hello dear, I’m very well thank you for asking. I do hope you’re doing very well yourself. Ah, yes my favourite thing to do! It depends what kind of icing you’re making. If you are making water icing use warm water, and add the icing sugar a tablespoon at a time until you get the correct consistency. If using proper icing I will admit I do cheat and buy the Muggle made ready to use stuff from the supermarket! It’s so much easier if I’m honest, I don’t have all the time in the world. As for the mess, what are you doing? Why are you not tidying as you go? A flick of your wand and you could be all clean and tidy. Please send me one of your cakes to try.

Dear Aunt Molly,

Maybe you can settle an argument that my boyfriend and I have been having. He has claimed that the Chudley Cannons have won more than one game. I have looked at the official statistics being a Harpies fan, and i was just wondering if there were any games played off the books as it were? Please help i have 5 galleons riding on this.

Proud To Be A Harpy

Hello dear, as of recent no they haven’t won a single game! But by 1892 they had won the league cup 21 times. What’s the motto? “Let’s keep all our fingers crossed and hope for the best!”

Dearest Molly,

I urgently need your help! You see, my husband has developed the oh-so-fun habit of snoring (and yet he has the audacity to point out that I snort like a pig when I laugh. Um, no, no I don’t). It’s not just normal snoring though; it’s loud, chainsaw-like noises, coupled with the occasional whimper and sometimes a howl. Yes, howling, I kid you not. There’s even some leg-kicking action going on, and clawing the sheets… when he’s asleep, of course.

The thing is, he’s rather sensitive, especially about the howling, so I don’t know how to bring it up with him. Should I point it out? Use a spell? Slip him an anti-snore potion (does that even exist??). I really need my sleep, but I don’t want him to become self-conscious.

Please, please, please help me!

Kisses!

~It’s Tonks, not Nymphadora.
Hello dear, to be honest I have no sympathy! You knew what you were getting yourself into when you married him. You know what an animal he can be (I thank you! ;D). And yes, when you laugh you can sound like a pig snorting. Get yourself protective ear flaps if it’s as bad as you’re saying. I hope your hubby doesn’t read this…
