'Chasers
were also becoming increasingly irritated by the necessity of
diving continually towards the ground to retrieve the Quaffle and so,
shortly after the Quaffle's change of colour, the witch Daisy
Pennifold had the idea of bewitching the Quaffle so that if
dropped, it would fall slowly earthwards as though sinking through
water, meaning that Chasers could grab it in
mid-air.'
