- "Ah, good, I've found you... I'm afraid that Hogwarts need your help.
The final matches of the Inter-House Quidditch Cup are upon us and excitement is running high among the students. Their single-minded focus has attracted the attention of the Calamity.
Regrettably, Hogwarts' Quidditch Cup itself has been taken. I daresay that the Calamity has gone too far this time.
Although we could certainly proceed without the cup, I would hate for the winning house to be denied the honour. Will you help me end this Calamity surge and return the centuries-old cup to Hogwarts?" - — Minerva McGonagall[src]

Brilliant Quidditch Announcer's Boot[]
- "Ah, there you are. I'm afraid that I must ask for your help again.
The final match of the Quidditch season approaches, and excitement has reached fever pitch. Not unexpectedly more Quidditch-related Foundables are turning up.
Concern is growing that holding the final match could endanger the students. Some are calling for it to be canceled.
Tn fact, canceling the match could only make matters worse — disappointed students would certainly focus the Calamity's attention.
What do you say will you help me shut down this Calamity surge and save our Quidditch season?" - — Minerva McGonagall[src]
