Age: 11
Position: Seeker (previous member of the team)
Broom: Nimbus 2001
Example of play:
Bobby soared up into the sky as soon as Madame Hooch blew the whistle. The game was against Gryffindor, and although Bobby quite liked Gryffindors, he knew the pressure was on and he had to win. While lost in thought, he saw a flash of gold next to the post. He dove for the Snitch at the same time the other Seeker did, but before he knew it it had dissapeared. He gave the other Seeker a friendly wave and zoomed away.

Name: Svetlana
Age: 18
Position: Beater
Broom: Firebolt
Example: Svetlana scanned the air for a bludger, weilding her bat like a weapon. Her sharp blue eyes focused in on the dark shape hurtling from Gryfindors
Beater. She sped over to it at about the same speed as the Bludger, picking up pace as she went. Soon she was upon the magical ball. She swung back with her surprisingly muscular arms and slammed the bat onto the Bludger with prescise aim and timing. It was sent in a straight-shot in the path of their seeker. There was a flicker of gold there, too. Svetlana slowed slightly, keeping watch over what happened. She grinned as her hit made its mark. The ball slammed into the opposing seekers side, throwing her off the broom with an audibe grunt. Svetlana smirked, trying not to laugh at the poor girl falling through the air and the broom following to catch her. She'd have a bruise, and pain, not enough to kill but enough to give her the message that Slytherin didn't mess around. Before she knew what was happening, there were cheers from the crowds wearing Slythering garbs. She let out a boisterous cheer too, seeing a golden glint shining from their seekers fist.

Small post of game-play: ((Example: Jessica pushed off the ground with a grunt as the whistle blew, high and loud. She saw the opposing team and her own teammates rise into the air around her, and she rose higher than them all, already squinting her sage green eyes to see the golden Snitch. A Bludger came hurling itself toward her with a hearty attack, and she was forced to roll on her room, hanging upside down for just a moment before righting herself again and scanning the field for the Snitch.
There it was! She zoomed in and out between players and dived along the posts toward a golden glinting, hovering in midair, and she heard cheers as she caught the small fluttering ball in her hand and took off toward the ground, knowing her game was won!))
Remember, there are three Chasers, one Keeper, two Beaters, and one Seeker. The Chasers job is to shoot the Quaffle through the goal posts. The Keepers job is to guard those posts from the opposing team. The Beaters keep the Bludgers away from their team, and Seeker finds the Snitch, winning the match if caught, and earning his or her team and extra 150 points.
See chapter ten of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone for Harry's introduction to Quidditch.
