There was still an hour until quaffle release. The greeting room was packed. There were players from Wimbourne, Appleby, Falmouth, Chudley, and Puddlemere—united tonight to play on the English National Team against Brazil—as well as their loved ones, all gathered in cheery clusters around the room. It was a beautiful scene, all of it being captured and recorded in detail by journalists and cameras and enchanted notebooks that scribbled quotes and notes as they zoomed around everyone’s heads.
