Welcome back! (and Quidditch in Romania)


Hello, peeps! Welcome back! It has been a WHILE since I last posted, mostly because school, exams, blah-blah. But now I have a summer's worth of time to kill and ready to start back again! With a changed writing style, because I change and develop over time. 
So, a lot of you may probably have (never) asked yourself this question: how is Quidditch in Romania? Glad you asked, person I've probably never met! It's basically the same, we just have candy canes and meatballs instead of brooms and actual playing balls. It may seem like a waste but it's actually a way we prove our creativity, it's really interesting. They're genuine candy canes and meatballs prepared before each match, but we practice with plastic versions.
What's interesting about Romanian Quidditch isn't actually this, shockingly enough, but the dilemmas within. You're most probably not caught up with any of this so I'll go through everything, basically:
There's two sides: The Brown Bears (animals found in the biggest quantity in Romania of all Europe) and The Vampires. They... HATE each other. The mascots always fight each match, one pulling out their bear head to whack the other's fangs off. It's so bad pro-Bear people eat garlic sauce they get from KFC (yes, we, Romanians, have that in our KFCs) with fries to show their hatred towards The Vampires. But, the most recent news is: fans of The Brown Bears ambushed a McDonalds restaurant (pro-Vampire, rival of pro-Bear KFC) and poured an entire garlic sauce down the best Vampire player, a NIGHT before the match. So, the Vampires lost. I am pro-Vampire and furious at these primitive animals' barbaric actions. We play a noble game, due to our players' delicate skin's sensitivity to daylight they play at night, find subtleness in the taste of wine and dress elegantly, as shown by our fine robes.
I hope this satisfied your curiosity towards a previously unknown situation.
