Join the crowd for some wintery fun with a Quidditch-ized version of the Christmas classic song, 'Sleigh Ride'.
Merry Christmas to everyone at MuggleNet Fan Fiction!
This was my submission to the Great Hall Past, Present, and Future Christmas Challenge -- Extra Credit Prompt, in which it placed second.
The song from which this work was derived was composed by Leroy Anderson in 1948, and the words were written by Mitchell Parish in 1950. I mean no infringement upon their music or upon Jo Rowling's world -- just some light-hearted, holiday fun.

To the left to the right, to the hoops, let's go!
Let's give ‘em a show!
We play rain or shine and even in the snow.
What a pass! What a shot! What a save! Let's score!
Just a few more,
With a flash and a dash, we make the crowd roar.
The score is thirty to twenty, but much more scoring there'll be,
If we can catch the Snitch and feel the itch of victory.
On to the hoops before us to rack up a goal or two;
Come on, it's a lovely time to fly alongside of you.
There's a championship on the line.
Just swing your bats and we'll all be fine.
We'll be flying over the pitch where one man can be star.
As every fan stands and cries, "Hurrah!" Rah! Rah! Rah!
It's a happy feeling that nothing in the world can buy,
When they flash and dash and fly so very high.
It'll be nearly enough to take your breath away,
Ready, set, go! All our lives, we'll remember this day!
Just hear those Chasers scoring; nothing is boring today.
Come on, it's lovely weather to take up a broomstick and play.
Up high, the Seekers are racing and chasing the Snitch for victory.
So glad you came by to go for a fly with me.
It's lovely weather to play some Quidditch with you.
It's lovely weather to play some Quidditch with you.
