Erin: 
I found it and yes, he does say seven years.  Okay, I get that, but 
why is it automatically assumed that Charlie won the cup the last 
year he was at school?  After all, Wood describes Harry as better 
than Charlie, and it still takes three years for their team to win 
the cup.  Also, if Charlie left before Wood even got there, how would 
Wood be able to compare their flying styles?
