======Eunice Murray======
=====Introduction=====
**Eunice Murray** (1902 – 1998) was a celebrated [[witch]] and a highly skilled [[Seeker]] for the [[Montrose Magpies]] [[Quidditch]] team. She is most famous in [[wizarding world]] history for her successful campaign to have the living [[Golden Snidget]] replaced by the enchanted [[Golden Snitch]] in official [[Quidditch]] matches. Her legacy is primarily known through her [[Famous Witches and Wizards Card]].
=====Biography=====
Little is known about Eunice Murray's early life or education. As an adult, she became a prominent [[Seeker]] for the Scottish [[Quidditch]] team, the [[Montrose Magpies]]. During her career, the game still involved the use of a [[Golden Snidget]], a small, magically-protected bird, which the opposing [[Seeker]]s had to catch.
Deeply concerned about the cruelty of this practice and the dwindling numbers of the [[Snidget]] species, Murray petitioned the [[Wizengamot]] to seek an alternative. She famously stated, //"It is not sporting to hunt a creature so small and fragile."// Her proposal was for the [[Snidget]] to be replaced by a specially enchanted metal ball, an idea that eventually led to the invention of the [[Golden Snitch]] by [[Bowman Wright]]. Her campaign was ultimately successful, forever changing the game of [[Quidditch]] and ensuring the protection of the [[Golden Snidget]].
According to her [[Famous Witches and Wizards Card]], she passed away in 1998.
