Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger were all excited for the upcoming Quidditch match.

Although it was slightly disappointing that the Ireland v. Bulgaria match was postponed because of travel hardships on Ireland's part, they were replaced by Japan's rising Quidditch team. Rumor has it that they were nicknamed the 'Generation of Miracles' that only appeared every 5 years or so, they supposedly had a phantom 7th member the prodigies acknowledged.

Ron immediately asked Hermione to provide info on the GoM, which Hermione wholeheartedly pursued.

"According to Quidditch Teams Around the World: 1990 Edition, they are supposedly a group of really young members. Even younger than Bulgaria's Victor Krum. They're still attending middle school."

"Name, Hermione?"

"Teiko's Refine Magical Arts Middle School."

"...Fancy school name."

"Captain and Chaser is Akashi Seijūrō, I'll explain him later. The other two chasers is Kise Ryōta and Midorima Shintarō . Kise supposedly has an ability to copy moves after he sees it once, so it's obvious he's able to perform high-level moves against the opposing team and Midorima has perfect accuracy, as well as being able to perform a move shot high into the air yet still scoring. Because of that, the Japanese government in the Quidditch Branch allowed his move to score thirty points (usual goals equal 10 points) when performed due to it defying both scientific and magical knowledge. Both Kise and Midorima are purebloods in the Japanese magical community."

Ron was slightly put off at Kise's and Midorima's statuses as Purebloods but was still amazed at the group of prodigies, "I just hope they're not snotty about it like Malfoy. Anyway, what about the other members, Hermione?"

"I'm getting there, Ron. The Beaters are Haizaki Shōgo , a former Chaser whose place was given to Kise, and Aomine Daiki. Ao...I'm going to say Daiki. Daiki sometimes plays as Chaser because of his almost superhuman agility, speed, and shooting precision. He is able to break even through the hardest defensive play and when playing as Chaser, he is able to jump off his broom, shoot the Quaffle in the most ridiculous position, score and still land on his broom safely. When playing as a Beater, he is nearly impossible to break through. When he hits a Bludger, it flies across the whole court if the carrier happened to be there. Yes, Ronald, Daiki is that strong. Let's just thank God that he isn't the type that likes to get into fights. Many international teams attempt ways to quickly pass the Quaffle to one another during the games, but most fall short compared to Daiki's speed. Very few are able to guard against him, not many are known."

Harry was awed while listening to the spew of information coming out of Hermione's mouth; he couldn't wait to see how the Japanese team looked like. In his mind, they were the perfect team of prodigies and it looks like Ron agreed with him. Ron almost had stars shining in his eyes, it looked like he was about to get a new favorite team to idolize over in the near future.

"The Catcher is Murasakibara Atsushi; a boy of 186 centimeters, which in the imperial system* is 6 feet and a inch tall. Coupled with his body unusually tall for a middle schooler, he has long limbs. When stretched out to their full capacity, he is able to guard two hoops at a time and almost never lets his opponents score a goal. Most people call it 'absolute defense'. On top of that, he has fast reflexes to cover all three hoops, large hands to catch the Quaffle when needed, and is inhumanely strong like that of his teammate Daiki. Sometimes, he plays Chaser which is very rare but when he does, he powers through the defense and can score consecutive goals."

Harry didn't think Ron's jaw can hang open any more than that. Fred and George, who just sat themselves down next to him, was listening as well to Hermione's thesaurus-like speech. Like their younger brother, their jaws were starting to hang wide open for the public to see.

"The last two members, Akashi Seijūrō, and their rumored seventh member are the most exceptional of their Quidditch team. I'm not saying that the others I explained are any less special, but the last two is starting to become globally known throughout both the magical and the non-magical world."

Fred asked, "Non-magical world?"

Hermione brushed off the question, "I'll explain later."

"Akashi Seijūrō and the phantom member recently found by the press to be a boy named Kuroko Tetsuya plays as Seeker with the former playing as Chaser. Kuroko has a special ability of misdirection. Coupled with his already weak presence on the field, with misdirection and him almost never showing facial expressions, he is rendered nearly invisible and can pass the Quaffle to any of his teammates. With him in a game, the game is changed completely with him thrown into one. When present, their team can score one goal after another. No matter the opponents' skills, position, or height, Kuroko can steal the Quaffle at any moment. He doesn't play as a Chaser, yet he is like a fourth Chaser. He is known to be a fantastic Seeker with excellent observing skills, which is why he is able to divide his time looking for the Golden Snitch and still help out his team in their plays."

George was ecstatic, "No. Way."

Hermione nodded to the sixth-year Gryffindor, "Yes way. This is why most people nickname the Generation of Miracles. They possess skill sets other players can only dream of having. Should they graduate and apply to a high school, their Quidditch teams will be sure to shoot through the ranks and be on par with professionals. Other nickname them negatively and call them 'monsters', which I guess...is true in a way."

Harry steered the conversation back on track, "What about their captain?"

Hermione woke up and hurriedly rushed to get back onto topic, "Oh yes! Akashi is the genius of them all. Like Kise and Midorima, he is a pureblood. His family is that of a aristocratic bloodline and is being trained to be the next heir of the company. He is-"

Ron suddenly cut off her explanation, "What about the other four members' blood stats?"

Hermione impatiently replied, "Half-bloods or Muggleborns. Now, let me finish Ronald. And don't you dare interrupt, I'm almost done explaining their team. As I was saying, Akashi is their captain and naturally as captain, he is the one who plans out their play. He is incredibly smart; he might be on the same level as a Ravenclaw. When executing a play, they are known to be well-rhythmed which earned his plays the name 'Perfect-Rhythmed Plays'. He is also a individual who possess Court Vision, the ability to see the entire field inside his head with the players present. From there on, he is able to plan and perform any offensive or defensive tactic. "

Hermione was extremely satisfied as she concluded her speech on the Japan's unusually young national Quidditch team, "And there you have it."

Harry was happy when he remembered something Hermione had earlier said, "Hermione, wait a moment. Before you said that this Generation of Miracles was also well-known in the non-magical community, what did you mean?"

Hermione blinked, "Did I forget to mention that their school, Teiko's Refine Magical Arts Middle School, is also a regular school for those with no magical talent? Well, apparently they are also enrolled in the Muggle program and regularly practices the Muggle sport of basketball. Their skills in Quidditch is also applied in that sport as well. They participate in tournaments and they win in all of their matches."

Ron slapped a hand to his head in exasperation, "Yes, you did forget."


*Imperial System= Inches, Feets... Basically what Americans measure with.
