To Quidditch They Go!
Class of 1888 Takes to the Pros
The Hogwarts class of 1888 has taken to the adult world—and for some of Hogwarts' most athletic students, the professional quidditch league. The class of '88 has been a lackluster one for the world of professional quidditch, with a mere three graduating students pursuing quidditch as a professional career immediately upon graduation!
The most notable of the three is Mr. Mundungus MacFusty, notable for both his notorious surname and his position of Gryffindor Quidditch Captain during his last year of school! Mr. MacFusty was recruited by the Hogsmeade Howlers, where he was almost immediately placed on first string as a beater. While Gryffindor failed to capture the Hogwarts quidditch cup in Mr. MacFusty's final year, many have attributed the failure to the unusual number of young students on the team.
Also joining Mr. MacFusty on the Hogsmeade Howlers is his former team-mate and head boy, Mr. Handsome Whitledge. After coming into his inheritance upon graduation, few would have expected the head boy to pursue any career, let alone one in quidditch; however, sources have stated quidditch was always a viable career option for the Gryffindor. Mr. Whitledge currently sits as the team's reserve keeper.
The third of the Professional Quidditch League's latest recruits is Hufflepuff graduate and former prefect, Mr. Owain Edwards, who's joined the Kenmare Kestrels as a reserve beater. Mr. Edwards has played for the Hufflepuff quidditch team since 1885, and supposedly signed a deal with Kenmare sponsor Mr. Roberto Devine in 1887 to remain on the team for five years post-graduation.
