(Gryff Keeper)

::Swift jumped enthusiastically onto her broom, glad for another match. Ravenclaw, she knew, was far from easy to beat, and she was determined to win them over this time...

She took her place at the Gryffindor goalposts, watching as the Quaffle was passed between the Chasers.

Suddenly, a whistling sound came from Swift's right. A bludger was zooming at rapid speed towards her, and it was with difficulty that she avoided it with a dance move that she had learnt at Theatre Arts- ducking her head around the head of her broom (which would have been her partner's arm), Swift let herself drop, catching her broom at the last second with her free hand. She swung herself around it, bringing her legs back up onto the broom, and positioning herself rightly, ready again to guard those precious hoops!::

(G seeker)

::Pad goes flying up and down in a alrge cirle flip. His face was pale but he had a look of...well...a really pumped Paddy. He was gonna have a sweet match!::

(Ravenclaw reserve keeper)

::Yun Yun stood firmly at her post by the goals. She watched the quaffles every movement and never took her eye off the ball::

"Let's go RAVIES!"

(Gryffindor Beater)

::WL shot into the air and at once, she dribbled the bludger along and whacked it at the ravie seeker as pad seemed to be diving for the snitch!

Then, she and duckie did the Beater Salute and WL yelled, "Welcome back Amy!" as she hovered around looking for mayhem::

9th HOUSE QUIDDITCH - GRYFFINDOR V RAVENCLAW - mon 17th Apr 410894

that might be why I was never asked to be a judge...hmmm...so back to the game!

Some members of each team have already flew out to the field to start the game! Swift takes a duck from the bludger! Nice move! WL whacked a bludger straight at the Gryffindor seeker Padfoot. I can tell this game will be vicious already! How will Padfoot react? Will he get hit? Let's wait and see."

::Jen settles down and pulls out her Calculus textbook as she waits for the action to start.:: "Parents! You tell them you're a wizard they still insist that you pass Muggle University first. What would Muggle math help me in life? I could just conjure up one of those calcula- Wait, what? The microphone's still on? Opps...well, why don't I just.."

(Gryffindor Beater)

::WL shook her head in amusement. Pad would be fine...the bludger wasn't even aimed at him! It was the Ravenclaw seeker...Polly, was it? WL couldn't see properly, her glasses were just fogging up...urgh!::

"GO GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!"

::She ducked a bludger herself and raced after it, backhanding it right into the ravenclaw chasers who were flying around in formation.

They were so surprised that their formation broke and the Quaffle went to GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

Alright Ravenclaws listen up! Now I know we’re tired from the last game but let’s get some energy and beat these Gryffindors! I know we can do it! I’ve got faith in you! So let’s go and show ‘em what we’re made of!!

::Lily felt her team needed a ‘pep talk’ and that’s exactly what she was giving them – not to mention a little show and light show to start them off. Lily was read and raring to go for this game – the adrenaline was already pumping through every vein of her body. Lily brushed the long locks of brown hair away from her face as she gathered it and pulled it into a ponytail. Her trademark smirk crossed her lips as she led the Ravenclaw Quidditch out onto the pitch - she looked around - the entire school had shown up for today’s match. Her blue and black quidditch robes were in crisp shape for the match – as it always was. She reached into the folds of her robes - pulling out her wand and raising it to the sky::

Filibusterlievitate Ignatius Stotmiate!

::Hundreds of filibuster fireworks went off at the sound of her voice - that trademark smirk grew as she mounted her Firebolt with her other team members following suit. She pushed off hard on the ground and sore into the air. The fireworks had made a miraculous show ending in big blue lettering 'RAVENCLAW TO VICTORY.' Putting on a burst of speed she lead her team and flew hide in the air - the applause in the audience didn't hesitate it only grew as their eyes saw the spectacular she had put on for them - she could easily point out members from her house - seeing the headmistress with the other professors she nodded and went to join Madam Hooch in the center of the field with Herby by her side - she reached her hand out to the opposing Gryffindor Captain giving off a sweet smile - she wasn't intimidated by Gryffindor at all. She flew into position, turned towards Roman - her beater - and winked in his direction smiling widely. She prepared herself for the start of the game which was only moments away::

I just know we can win this…

::Without a moment’s notice the whistle blew and the beginning of the match commenced she watched as the Quaffle was let go up in the air and she chased after the Quaffle - she caught it and flew off - she pulled her broom to a stop looked around her - she had only a moment to get this right and up and away - she threw the Quaffle into the air. Holding her broom handle tightly she caused the broom to swish around in a full 360 circle - as the Quaffle was coming down she hit it with the tail end of her broom whacking it all the way over towards the Gryffindor goal posts::

That’s it! A-Le- Oop!!

::That was the name of there play and it always worked like a charm - starting off with a simple play for the time being just to give it a jump start::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Still not over their lost over Hufflepuff the last game, Trish made her way into the pitch, a little sad than she used to be. Aside from the fact that they lost, she had to pay Jen because she lost the bet.::

::She rode her broom, telling herself that they'll beat Gryffindor at this. This would just be a piece of cake, she told herself.::

::Minutes into the game, Lily signaled their very first play, the A-Le-Oop. She smiled as she positioned herself for her move. She saw Lily hit the quffle with the tail of her broom and she immediately raced to the direction of the quaffle. She zigzaged her way to some Gryffindor chasers trying to block her. She leaned down to increase her speed and finally she was right on the quaffle's way.::

::And she caught it! Right under a Gryffindor's nose!::

"Whew! That was close!" she muttered to herself.

::She quickly turned her broom and went straight to the Gryffidor hoops, bluffing the keeper by gliding the left hoop then atthe last minute pulling her broom and shooting the quaffle neatly into the right one.::

"Yes!" Trish cheered, pumping her fist in the air.::

(commentator)

"And now it's 10-0 Ravenclaw! The Ravenclaw team made a dazzling goal by a move called the A-Le-Oop. Quite an original name! The goal was made by one of Ravenclaw's chasers. It's great to see the Ravenclaw team out after playing a straight game with Hufflepuff just last night! Especially Trish! Let me just say seeing her on the field is like 10 galleons straight in my pocket!" Jen announced with a wink. "Although Ravenclaw took the lead in the beginning, Gryffindor's surely not going to let them keep it! Let's see how Gryffindor would retaliate."

::Jen sat back down and buried her head in her Calculus book.::

(Ravenclaw Beater)

:: Herby listens to Lily’s pep talk, with open ears, as she took in every word that lily spoke. Feeling ticked off that Hufflepuff had beaten them, Herby smacks herself in the head.::

“We can’t let them win. We need to get all the points that we can!”

:: Herby took her broom in hand and gripped it with more force then she has ever done. She could feel her hand acing in pain, as the broom of the wood wouldn’t give in. Feeling as if this was a “tug of war”, Herby kept fighting with her broom.::

:: Lily finally wanders over to Herby, and she immediately sees Herby’s angerment towards her broom. Feeling a bit uneasy Lily says::

“Umm, Herb? Maybe you should relax a bit. Just remember, Gryffindor has nothing to do with it, and look on the bright side. We play Hufflepuff again.” :: Lily said as an evil smirk forms on her face.::

:: Herby looked up towards her Co-Captain.::

“Maybe your right, but next time we play Hufflepuff, all bets are off, and I’m going for it.” :: Herby said in a very evil voice, with a slight *wink* towards Lily.::

:: With a great sigh from Lily, Herby quickly jumped on her broom and took her position.::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::A wide smile could be easily seen on her lips as she watched Trish score - she pumped a fist into the air and did her usual victory dance. She flew circles around Roman and winked in his direction as she flew off towards Herby and smirked::

You know what to do - I don't need to tell you!

::The Quaffle was thrown into play once more and Lily pulled up on her broom and zoomed after the Quaffle - reaching her hands out and using her legs to guide her broom and felt the ball come into contact with her hands and she snatched it out of the air pulling it to her chest and tucking it under her arm. She zoomed off towards the Gryffindor goal posts.::

Come on guys!

::She laughed to herself - she sighed this get plan she had would probably make her dizzy - god help her - the things she would do for Quidditch. The determined look back on her face she abrutly pushed down on her broom causing it to go into a dive. She flatted her entire body against the handle of her broom causing it to move faster. With a slight pull to the right her broom began to rotate in a barrel fashion - she continued her descent holding the dive. This would make it very hard for the opposing team to try and take the quaffle from her - let's see them try. She would need to concentrate in order to pull this off - the only thing she hoped was that she wouldn't fall off her broom or crash::

(Ravenclaw Beater)

:: Herby watched in the distance Lily was starting their plan. With a little *wink* towards Stealth in the crowd. Herby took flight and started chasing after Lily.::

:: When Herby catches up, she does a Sloth Grip Roll, right under Lily. This of course completely confuses the Gryffindor Keeper. The next thing Herby knew was that she had two chasers coming towards her. As Lily dove left and Herby dove right, she smacked right into one of the Chasers. This caused one of Gryffindor Chasers to fall towards the ground. Herby was able to stay on her broom, as a look of satisfaction formed on Herby’s face. Herby glances towards Lily.::

:: Lily had another problem. The last Chaser. Herby quickly flew as fast as her broom would let her. Lily started coming towards Herby. The Keeper was now completely confused, as we were going back a forth. Finally Herby knew it was time to do her last move. With another Sloth Grip Roll, Herby was under Lily again. This of course made the Chaser very nervous and worried, but to the Chasers surprise, Herby didn’t hit him/her. She instead flew up behind him/her. This caused the Chaser to turn around, and glare at Herby, waiting for her to do a move. With a sigh of satisfaction, Lily went for the goal.::

:: It was now one on one. Lily vs. the keeper. Of course Lily the master of plans, out smarted the Gryffindor keeper, and scored once again for Ravenclaw.::

“Woohoo, Lily!!!!!” :: Herby flies towards Lily with a huge high-five, as their plan worked::

(commentator)

"And there goes another goal for Ravenclaw that now makes it 20-0 in favor of Ravenclaw! But done worry folks this game isn't anywhere near over yet so don't count your galleons yet!"

(R reserve seeker)
::Lifey circled the quidditch pitch slowly high above the ground, keeping one watchful eye on Gryffindor's seeker, and the other scanning for a flash of gold. She stopped briefly to cheer on Lily's great play, but quickly returned to her task at hand::

"Come on! Where are you!"

::Life muttered squinting into the glare of the afternoon sun.

::And just like that! A quick flash of gold and then nothing...Life speed off towards the spot at top speed, praying that the snitch had not gone far.::

::A bludger whooshed past her head, nearly hitting her and causing Life to make a sharp swerve down and to the right.::

::Shaking her head to try and regain focus, Life looked back towards where the snitch had been, to see only cheering crowds, sighing Life soared to about ten feet above the other players and resumed her searching::

(Gryffindor Beater)

(Hmmm...We really need to give this our best shot!)

::WL soared underneath Lily as she had the quaffle again, bludger by her side. Lily looked down worriedly and then focused again on her path. WL suddenly gave the bludger a big hit under the backside and sent it right into Lily's broom handle. This, of course, sent Lily spiralling backwards and because of some strange, random force, the Quaffle flew out of her hands too!

Oooh...The Whirlpool! It actually looked quite pretty! Lily was still spinning like a catherine wheel and her blue robes looked like water so the Whirlwind really was aptly named.

Anyway, WL turned around and saw that the Quaffle had gone into Cheery's capable hands.

WL signalled to Duckie who nodded back and they both flew like maniacs to get control of the two bludgers

Once they had them, they dribbled them over to the Gryffindor chasers who were already in their Hawkshead flying position.

Duckie and WL then started a rally where the bludgers swapped possesions at an incredibly high speed.

The chasers were inside the bludger-made cocoon and WL and duckie were moveing at the same speed.

As they approached the goalposts, WL created a space for two of the chasers to exit so Gryffindor would not be accused of Stooging.

So now, they were protecting just Moony as rip and cheery had come out.

The Ravenclaw keeper was bobbing up and down looking increasingly terrified of the Bludger Cocoon coming his way

Since they were allowed to hit the keeper if the quaffle was in playing area, which it was, WL stopped the ralley and hit the bludger at the keeper, making him dive to the left, leaving the right and centre hoops free for the Quaffle to go straight into!

Moony flung the Quaffle in and it was caught again by rip. Duckie then hit the other bludger at the keeper who had to again, dive to the right. This time, rip had the chance to score in the left hoop!

"YES!!!!!"

WL flew back and punched the air with her fist. 20-20! Gryffindor WOULD do their best!!!!!::

(Gryff Keeper)

::Angry at herself for letting two of those goals in, Swift swooped down to get back into Keeping mode. She knew Ravenclaw were difficult, and their loss (that she so obviously didn't have a part in...) to the Huffles had made them want to win this match more.

Snapping out of those thoughts, Swift locked her eyes on Lily, who was speeding towards her, sporting her usual smirk. She smirked back, shouting, "Heeeey big sis! Really not gonna let you score this time!" Trish was hovering somewhere above, looking entirely focused on Lily, and it wasn't too hard to guess what they would do.

A ball of red zoomed upwards past Swift, but she kept her eyes trained on Lily, who was still moving towards the goalposts. Trishie, above her, was making a speedy descent, and was only a few fet away from Swift when she threw the Quaffle hard. Eyes never leaving Lily, Swift's right arm flew out behind her, blocking the Quaffle from entering into the right goalpost. She smirked, seeing the shocked look on Lily's face, whispered, "Told ya," and chucked the Quaffle towards Becky::

(Gryffindor beater)

::Duck flew close to WL, this was part of their plan...stick close together for the first part of the match, whilst they found their feet. Soon, however, the need for this disintegrated, as she saw a bludger heading directly for rip, who had possession of the quaffle.

"WL!" she said "over there!"

They flew towards the bludger, and with practised skill, hit the heavy black ball simultaneously towards Lily, who hovered nearby, greedily awaiting the quaffle.

"Go Becky!" she yelled, as she watched rip zooming towards the goalposts::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Trish saw Duck, hitting the bludger off of Rip's way and Rip going towards the goals. She wasted no time and zoomed towards rip to intercept the quaffle. She looked around and saw Roman release another bludger headed for rip. Duck saw this again and attempted to hit the bludger away again. Trish saw this so she sped up and overtook Duck, delaying her attempt to stop the racing bludger. Within seconds, rip was hit on the shoulders making her drop the quaffle.::

::Trish saw this and immediately zoomed towards the falling quaffle, some of the gryffindor and ravenclaw chasers doing the same. She leaned against her firebolt to gain speed and in a split second, she got the quaffle in her hands. She pulled up her broom just in time before crashing on to the ground. She safely tucked the quaffle as she avoided another Gryffindor bludger coming her way.::

::She made her way towards the side of the pitch, finally having a clear view of the match. She looked around for their team captain and saw her right in position for their play. She gave Lily a nod as she sped towards the center of the pitch, elbowing attempting gryffindor chasers who try to get the quaffle. She continued to accelerate until she met Lily right at the center. Trish and Lily changed direction towards the Gryffindor goals at precisely the same time, Lily flying closely behind Trish. When they are about a few feet from the posts, Trish called onto Lily.::

"Are you ready, Lily?" Shouted Trish, her voice sounded soft because of the roaring fans.

"Yes! Throw it!" Lily screamed from behind her.

"Okay, here it goes!"

::Trish untucked the quaffle from under her arms and quickly threw it over her shoulders then immediately pulling up her broom and circling her way under Lily, positioning herself justa few feet under her.::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::She took one last look towards Roman before her total concentration was back on the game - Rip had somehow gotten the quaffle. She watched as Rip flew towards the Ravenclaw goal posts - she watched with baited breath as Roman hit a Quaffle her way - it dropped! She watched Trish soar after it - she was so close - and there it was. Trish caught the Quaffle - YES!::

Come on Trish let's show 'em what Ravenclaw is made of!!

::Trish had gotten the Quaffle and she flew off to the side of the pitch. She saw Trish's signal and nodded. Pulling her broom towards the left she noticed a bludger coming her way and ducked quickly. It was a fair game but already a bludger aimed for her? She grumbled - that was a little TOO close for comfort. Ignoring the urge to yell out at the beater she flew right behind Trish waiting for her to make her move::

::There is was - Lily saw Trish throw the quaffle towards her in the blink of an eye. Lily reached out and swiftly catch the Quaffle and tucked it under her arm - she avoided bludgers left and right. She continued to fly straight towards the Gryffindor Keeper. She looked behind her and she could see two Gryffindor chasers heading for her trying to catch up. She smiled to herself - boy were they in for it. Pushing her broom to faster speeds she made as if she was trying to avoid them to score. They'd have to move faster if they wanted to catch up to her::

::The distance between her and the goal posts grew smaller and smaller and the Gryffindor Chasers were catching up to her. Just when she was in front of the Gryffindor Keeper she took the Quaffle in her hands and threw it downwards instead of towards the goal posts. Smiling winningly she pulled her broom to a stop so she wouldn't crash into the Keeper::

Oops? I guess it slipped.

::Like the Quaffle just accidentally slipped through her fingers she flew off and watched the scene unfold smirking all the while::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::The girl was alert, her eyes never left the quaffle on Lily's arms so when she released it, she immediately grabbed the quaffle. As soon as the quaffle is safely in her arms, she zoomed towards the Gryffindor goals, swerving to the left when the Keeper thought she would shoot at the right. She instantly shoot the quaffle neatly to the leftmost hoop.::

"Score!" She shouted in glee, raising her arms in celebration.

::The stands roared with cheers, especially those from the Ravenclaw side of the pitch. Trish flew towards Lily and gave her a high five.::

"We did it again! We're so good at this, aren't we?" she said jokingly. Lily laughed.

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Lily pumped a fist high into the air and flew over towards Trish and high fived the girl - they had scored! She proceeded to fly over the stands looking down at the cheering Ravenclaw Quidditch team fans. She waved and flew back towards the pitch. They had combined the Reserve Pass and the Porskoff Ploy into one play which proved very effective::

GO RAVENCLAW!!

::She circled around Roman winking - she was just out of reach before she pulled completely away and flew off to rejoin the game - they were going to win - she knew it!::

Thsi game is SO on! Gryffindor you better watch out!

::But that was all for her victory dance - they weren't going to go easy in this game - they were going to take it to the max - she flew back into position and waited for the quaffle to be thrown into play once more smiling widely she zoomed off and snatched the Quaffle out of thin air - she looked behind her and could easily see Rip and another chaser tailing her - she pushed her broom to full speed - she had a plan for them alright - when they inched closer towards her at the last second she pulled her broom up causing it to arch up - she pulled on it again causing he to fly upside down over the chasers heads - smirking when she was past them she pushed down on her broom causing it to dive down - pulling on it once more she leveled her broom and was flying straight towards the Gryffindor goal posts - this was another play that needed to be timed perfectly right::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Trish saw Lily got the quaffle again so it's another perfect chance to score another goal. She held her breath as she saw Lily being chased by Gryffindor chasers. Trish flew down the pitch and estimated where the postion of Lily. She saw Lily flew over the chasers then pulling up again. She took this as her queue to fly staright upward to meet her.::

::It looked like Lily and Trish would crash, but they knew exactly what they were doing. Trish's estimation was correct as she met Lily and took the quaffle from her. She continued to fly upward then arched herself just in front of the Gryffindor keeper, appearing as if she would shoot the quaffle. But just when the keeper was about to block her, she started on a dive. She sniggered she saw the Keeper scratch her head. She continued down on the dive, seeing Lily waiting for her near the ground.::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Following straight towards her path she watched carefully as the Trish threw the Quaffle towards her - once again she snatched it from the air and arched towards the left goal post - the keeper had been confused by the manuver - Lily reached back and threw the Quaffle swiftly through the left goal post smirking all the while::

WOO HOO!

::Another victory dance was called for as she looked towards Trish - this would be a great day for Ravenclaw - they were going to win - she knew it - she looked towards her beater Roman who had yet to wake up in time for the match - boy was he a sleeply head::

Rooommmaannn wake up!

::Her king would sleep on for the time being and she would fly off awaiting the Quaffle to be thrown back into play.::

(Gryffindor beater)

::WL knew that Lily was the one to take out if they wanted to win the match, or at least TRY...so she and duck together grabbed both of the bludgers, since neither of the ravenclaw beaters was there so the bludgers were literally all belonging in Gryffindor's hands (they would take advantage of that)...::

::Dribbling both bludgers, the counted to three and just as Lily was about to throw the Quaffle, she was hit first from behind and then from in front with the two bludgers, making her throw the Quaffle wrong and fall off her broom. Luckily, she wasn't too far from the ground, but it was still enough to knock her out for a while.::

::she and duck did a high five and then went back to get the bludgers, hopefully, with just 2 chasers, Ravenclaw would slow down their goal and Gryffindor would increase...

It WORKED!!! Without Lily to guide them, Ravenclaw did not get anymore goal while Gryffindor had just scored three times!::

"GO RIP CHEERY AND MOONY!!!!!"

Now the score was 60 - 50 to Gryffies!!!!

(Gryff Keeper)

::Swift was actually not happy. It was like it wasn't enough, the Ravenclaw Chasers were actually making her out as STUPID. Swift was a GOOD Keeper, and it wasn't as if they were actually letting her try and block the Quaffle... She rolled her eyes, once again annoyed. Their extremely repetitive move could be easily blocked, and the next time they tried it, the Quaffle would not go in so easily.::

(G seeker)

::Pad went flying up. He was tired and sick. The nurse caept trying to keep him in the hospital But he said "Na I gotta go catch a snitch" So that's why Pad felt like he was about to fall off his broom...and that is what he did. Padfoot Potter had fallen off his broom::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::The game started up again - Gryffindor had scored 3 times! She grumbled to herself as the Gryffindor beaters had knocked her out of the game for a while – she had seen Madam Pomfrey and everything was well in order – now it was time for a little payback and she wasn’t going to go easy on them. Mounting her Firebolt she pushed up off the ground and soared into the air joining the game. She looked over towards Trish and signaled to her.::

Time to show them WHY exactly we’re going to win this game!

::The Quaffle had been thrown back into play and Order their fellow chaser had swifty caught it. Order had a wide grin on her face very identical to the one she now possessed. Yun Yun had taken over as a reserve keeper for the day leaving the chaser position open for Order. She knew she kept changing the line-up but she was trying different things to see what would work best.::

Let’s Go Order!

::Lily had looked over towards Order who now possessed the Quaffle in her hands but she wouldn’t have long to celebrate if she hadn’t seen what she saw the Gryffindor Beaters do – true they had gained up on her but now they were going after poor Order! WaterLily had hit a bludger from behind Order's back aimed straight for her - she hovered for a moment before she pushed her broom into gear and flew towards Order::

Order look behind you there's a bludger coming your way!!! WATCH OUT!

::She saw Order turn and barely miss the bludger in time but she had dropped the Quaffle - OH NO! - Lily raced towards the fallen Quaffle - reaching her arms out in front of her - she felt the Quaffle in her hands as she picked it out of the air - she smiled brightly – thank god the Gryffindor Chasers hadn’t caught it or they would be in trouble – they had to tie this game. For Gryffindors they weren't being very fair but then again this was a game and they wanted to win just as bad as they did – well unfortunately for them today would be a Ravenclaw victory. Her gaze then turned towards Trish as she signaled their next play - Trish was a few feet below her and all of a sudden Lily pushed down on her broom causing it to go into a diving motion - she meet Trish quickly at the center of the pitch - pulling up on her broom and leveling it off - she handed off the Quaffle in one fluid motion.::

Let’s get it together Trish!

::All of a sudden she pulled on her broom hard to the left causing her broom to spin in a barrel roll fashion - arching towards the far left - she leaned flat against her broom to gain more speed as she began to pull slightly up and arch towards her right now as she began to gain altitude. She held on tightly to her broom so that she wouldn't accidentally slip off. True that never happened before but you could never be too careful with those sort of things. If this play wasn’t so affective she would never have volunteered to be the one that did this – it always left her with a terrible headache::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Trish couldn't believe just what happened as she watched the Gryffindor beaters sim bludgers towards Lily's way. Thankfully, Lily recovered when they were just 10 points behind. She looked at Trish with seriousness as she said, "Come on, Trish. It's payback time. Those Gryffindors messed up with the wrong team."::

"Right you are, Lily! Let's go kick some Gryffindor butt!" Trish said.

"Yeah!" the team roared.

::The teamwork the Ravenclaws showed kept Trish's spirit high. 'We can win this. I know we can.' she kept on repeating to herself.::

::She watched as Order got the quaffle and then got hit by another bludger from WL. Order dropped the quaffle and luckily Lily was there to catch it. After the catch, Lily turned to Trish who was waiting for her signal. She gave her a wink as she passed the quaffle to her.::

"Let's Go, Trish!" said Lily.

::Trish gave her a fervent nod as she prepares herself for a dizzying spin. They were going to execute the 'Corkscrew' again and for this, she had to ready her mind. As soon as she was ready, she leaned on the side of her broom to start her spinning and continued to gain momentum. When she was on a good speed she started to move forward, arching her way downward right. When she was about halfway to the posts, she started to pull up and was now going upward left, ready to meet Lily a few feet from the hoops.::

::WL and Duck tried to aim towards them but the very quick rotation of their brooms deflected the bludgers. As soon as Trish and Lily crossed paths a few feet away from the hoops, Trish made the quick pass to Lily as she continued to zoom towards the left goal hoop. This swift move confused the poor Gryffindor Keeper as she didn't know who got the quaffle, Trish or Lily. Because of that, Lily scored another goal for Ravenclaw!::

"Take that, Gryffindors!" Trish cheered as she circled a Gryffindor chaser, who was just scratching her head. "Woohoo! now, the game's tied up again!"

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::She had met Trish exactly in the right spot at the right time - not even a few feet away from the goal posts - the spinning of the barrel roll caused the passing of the Quaffle to be shielded from site causing the Gryffindor Keeper to become confused - she felt the Quaffle in her hand once more as she head straight for the right goal post - leaning back and throwing it all with her might straight through the hoop - she smiled widely - she could feel a slight dizzy spell but nothing she wasn't used to::

Sorry lil’ sis – try and keep up with me next time!

::She pulled her broom to a stop and flew over to Trish giving the girl another high five and as custom a victory dance followed - it wasn't called the "Corkscrew" for nothing - she felt slightly dizzy but soon got over it. She had performed that move over and over again just so she wouldn't be as dizzy during a game. A shame she would probably make herself dizzy all over again – that’s just the was she was – do anything for Quidditch and she’d do anything to win – well except for cheating – that was out of the question for her. She would never cheat in a million years – it wasn’t very becoming of a Ravenclaw Co-Captain or a Head of House or a Professor. Smiling widely she flew over towards Roman their team beater -circling around him once more - she waved a hand in front of his face and smiled cutely::

You should probably get some sleep – staying up late at night is no good!

::Smirking widely as a slight chuckle escaped her lips - she flew off to rejoin the game after sending him another wink his way - this was proving to be a very amusing game for her and she wanted to win more than anything else – there was absolutely no reason Ravenclaw shouldn’t win this game!::

(commentator)

::Jen tosses aside her Chemistry and Calculus book.::

"Studying sure takes up my time. Sorry folks if I havent kept you all up to date! Ravenclaw has just scored another goal with..I believe..yes it is! The Corkscrew, an original play made by the two Chasers on the team. Yet the game is still quite close because Gryffindor has scored not once, not twice, but three times in a role earlier! Did you miss it? Because I sure did. Let's get back to the game now."

::Jen plops back down on the bench and picks up her Sociology book with a heavy sigh.::

(sorry if this game's commentating isn't that interesting this time. Unfortunately, this game falls on the same week as my finals!)

[Ravenclaw Chaser subbing for Yun Yun]

"Darn, I wasn't in the field for two minutes and a bludger already! Got to keep a better look out from now onwards. " Order had plumeted some 20 feet before steaying up for the next play that was already put into motion.

" Yunny, I took a bludger for you. You will get it after this game"

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::The quaffle was thrown back into play and she watched as Order caught it and threw it towards her after flying off in positions. Lily barrel rolled into a dive towards the Quaffle to chase after it - Order had thrown it slightly off and it missed her - she pulled out of her dive and swiftly grabbed the Quaffle.::

That was too close for comfort...I think I’m going to have to put them all through training again.

::One thought about training and she remember the vigorous training sessions she had put her team through to get to this point – she didn’t go easy on them at all. Anyway she couldn’t think about this now – she had to put her mind on the game. She tucked the Quaffle under her arm securely and she pushed on her broom causing it to hurtle forward towards the opposing team’s side. She looked around carefully and could easily see Cherry and Rip tailing her she had something up her sleeve always for them - boy would they be surprised - she couldn't help but snicker at the thought of Ravenclaw's next play. This is exactly how she planned it. In one fluid motion she pulled up on her broom causing it to arch up and fly up. She pulled on her broom more so that now she was flying upside down over the chasers heads - she watch the shock on their faces since this had been unexpected on her part – true this was similar to one of their plays – the Sling Shot just a little different but it worked just the same and as affectively – that wasn’t all they had in store for Gryffindor though. She looked down and just as she had planned she dropped the quaffle from her hands and righted her broom. She held her head as she zoomed off in the opposite direction::

I've gotta stop doing this..yeesh before I end up with a permanent headache.

::Now, they were catching up. Trish was so gald that Order came now they could do another one of her favorite plays. She zoomed around the pitch to find Lily and as soon as she spotted her, she gave her a the best smile she could manage.::

::The quaffle was released again and Trish's heart leapt when she saw Lily caught it right under another Gyffindor Chaser's nose!::

"Woohoo! Go lily!!" she couldn't help but cheer.

::Lily zigzaged around the pitch for a few moments, waiting for the other team's chasers to well, chase her. Finally, she had them hooked and all three of them were on her tail. Lily had got the chasers right where she wanted them to be. Now, all Trish had to do is to stay put on her position and wait for Lily.::

::Lily was just too fast for the others and the poor chasers just couldn't catch up. As soon as Lily flew pass her, Trish, zoomed to the same direction, positioning herself behind Lily but ahead the Gryffindors. Just when she was at the right distance, Lily dropped the quaffle to Trish's waiting arms.::

::As soon as the quaffle touched Trish's fingers, she sped off, not forgetting to tuck the quaffle safely. She dodged an approching bludger with another barrel roll, this slowed her down a little, but she continued to accelerate towards Order who was now flying to catch up to her. Now, it's Trish's turn to wait for Order to get to position.::

"Come one, Viv!!" Trish whispered, as she watched Viv slowly placing herself on above her.

::When they are about the same speed and the right distance, Trish tossed the quaffle to Order above her. He zoomed towards the goal hoops as soon as she got the quaffle as Trish continued on her route to the right goal post, bluffing the Gryffindor keeper again.::

"Ha! Catch that!!" Trish said, as she watched Order score another 10 points for the team.

::Trish flew towards Order and gave him a bone breaking hug. The guy never really fancied Quidditch but was a very talented flyer. She was so gald to finally see him play!::

[Ravenclaw Chaser subbing forYun Yun]

::Order found it pretty hard to keep a straight head. They really thought we were going to try the same move again. Even the beaters were aiming for Trish, they wont know what hit them. Lily executed it perfect, and Trish caught it superbly. Order had to move fast now. ::

::Order slipped of above Trishie, and at the same time saw a Bludger.::

" Where did that come from?"

::Order had to dive a bit to avoid the bludger and get hold of the Quaffle. Then it was a piece of cake, he bludger sailed past harmlessly, poor keeper was trying to catch trishie, and Order lobed the quaffle through the left post, and yelled when he saw it sail beautifully through the left hoop::

" Another ten points for the Ravens. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN"

(Gryff beater)

::Duck saw Order miss a bludger, and decided to impede him further. She sailed over on her broom and used her bat to hit the bludger back in his direction.

It flew towards him as quick as lightning, and Duck grimaced as she heard a sickening crack.::

(Gryffindor chaser)

::Rip watched as Order scored for Ravenclaw and frowned. She needed to get the Quaffle back in her posession. SHe flew to where the Ravenclaw keeper was throwing the quaffle back into the game, and then intercepted it quickly.

She flew off down to the other end of the pitch, signalling to her fellow chasers so she could pass to them.::

(commentator)

"This game is moving quicker then I can think! Ravenclaw has just scored another goal with the temp. Chaser Order! Yet Order has just been hit dead on by a bludger swung by Duck! As we wait to see how he is, Rip has flown onto the field and stolen the quaffle!"

[Ravenclaw chaser subbing for Yun Yun]

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Order.

::Order was distrated trying to get to Lily to give her a bear hug and never saw that one coming. He could remember atleast six stars, courtesy of Duckie.::

Order flew down with the help of Lily to madam pomfrey

(commentator)

::Jen reads a piece of paper handed to her and start grinning.::

"It's okay folks! I've just received notice from the hospital wing that Order has completely healed and is ready to go back into the field! Apparently, the potion that he received (which tasted horrible by the way) has not only fixed his injuries but has revived him and his strength! Now will Ravenclaw take this new strength and be inspired to win? Or did having one of their players go to the hospital wing shake them up? We'll just wait and see."

::Jen holds up a giant box of assorted treats such as acid pops, Bernie's every flavor jelly beans, and Cockroach Clusters.::

"If you're hungry, you can always go down to the concession stand by the entrance and munch on some of these delicious treats as we wait for the game to continue. These sweets are sure to fill your mouth with a taste of heaven as well as keep you full until dinner starts. Courtesy of Honeydukes, where the finest candy are made, located in Hogsmeade." Jen notices Elfie look at her funny. "What? I get paid for advertising during the game. It's almost summer, I need some money to go on vacation." She grins at the audience and rubs her tummy and she nods toward the concession stand.::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::She watched as Order took a bludger, closing her eyes so as not to witness the dreadful event. He was led down to Madam Pomfrey together with Lily.::

:: She immediately got over it as she saw the quaffle thrown back into play with Rip catching it from the air. She followed rip to the other side of the pitch where she saw her stop and signal to her fellow chasers. She looked over the other Gryffindor chasers and no one was even close. She took this chance and instantly sped up towards the unknowing Rip. She grabbed the quaffle straight from her hands right when she was swooping passed her::

::She flew away to the center of the pitch then to the left side when she saw other gryffindor players approaching. She was able to pass through and as soon she was cleared, she kept an eye out for Lily. She saw her on the opposite side of the pitch, her brown hair blowing with the breeze. She had a smile on her face and with this Trish knew what she had to do. She saw Lily sped up towards the Gryffindor hoops again and she to this as her queue as she flew towards the same direction.::

::Trish leaned forward to gain more speed, positioning Lily right behind her left as soon as they reach the center of pitch. She made a quick pass to Lily as they continue to speed up towards the same direction.::

::Lily watched anxiously as Rip ran off with the Quaffle – luckily Order was perfectly fine now – Madam Pomfrey had fixed him up nicely – nothing had been badly broken. She wasn't close enough to Rip to gain on her but Trish was and she watched as the girl zoomed off after her. She was so close and there it was! The break Ravenclaw needed! Trish had taken the Quaffle back from Gryffindor!::

Go Trish!!

::She watched as WaterLily and Duckie sent bludger after bludger towards her team mate – but Trish had dodged them – perhaps they wouldn’t need TOO much practice. The wide trademark smirk could not be missed as she soared through the air on her firebolt - this wasn't just a game to her - this was fun and she loved being up in the air with the crowd cheering her on below - she dodged, ducked and avoided the oncoming bludgers the Gryffindor beaters insisted on hitting her way::

They must really want to get us seriously.

::She signaled her team ready for the next move - she looked up towards Trish who had the quaffle on her right - she sped up keeping behind her. She saw that Trish was ready - the moment she released the quaffle Lily picked in out of the air and tucked it under her arm safely - she would need to move quickly in order to get this right::

Let's Go Ravenclaw!!!!!!!

::Putting on a quick burst of speed she accelerated forward diving a few feet lower than Trish. When she was right behind and under the girls broom she pulled her Firebolt up and to the right causing her broom to arch up and over Trish's head - when she was upside down directly above the girl she let go of the Quaffle - dropping it in the girl's awaiting arms - continuing on her path she completed her 360 degree turn once again zooming out and flying under Trish towards the right side of the pitch avoiding the Gryffindor traffic::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

Nice Move, Lily!!

::Trish caught the quaffle in her hands, Lily had made another clean and awesome pass. Trish continued at her speed, their amazing captain Lily behind her right side now. They were speeding towards the Gryffindor keeper who looked very alert. Then when they were just a few feet from her, Trish threw the quaffle over to Lily right behind her. The move was so smooth it seemed as if the quaffle flew itself to Lily arms.She immediately pulled her firebolt up to prevent herself from crashing onto the goal hoops.::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Lily looked over quickly towards Trish now in perfect position off to the girl's right side a few feet below her - she waited ever so patiently - she wasn't even a few feet away from the goal posts and timing was everything. She watched as Trish inched closer and closer towards Swifty, the Gryffindor Keeper - her lil' sis. And in the blink of an eye that's when it happened - Trish threw the Quaffle directly in her path towards her - she grabbed the Quaffle - the moment it touched her finger tips she leaned back and threw it right through the further - most right hoop scoring for Ravenclaw::

That's It!!!!!!!

::The Soaring Eagle as she proudly called the play - she was showing off a tad bit she had to admit but this was a fun and friendly game - nothing more - well maybe for Ravenclaw - the Gryffindor beaters seemed to have it in for her. Pumping her fist into the air she flew over towards Trish and high fived the girl doing a victory dance - she looked over towards Roman and smiled brightly::

Not a time to flirt Lily - time to get back into the game!

::She told herself as she blew him a quick kiss and soared back into position awaiting the quaffle to be thrown back into play once more - Ravenclaw was on a roll this was true - now it was time to keep that roll going::

::partyy::

(ravenclaw reserve seeker)

::It was getting more and more difficult for Life to concentrate on the ever elusive snitch. The game was just so interesting...not to mention important for Ravenclaw:

"Important." ::Life thought.::

::She imeadiatly started squinting for the snitch again, soaring from one end of the pitch to the other and back again. Then, SHE SAW IT!! fluttering near the ground::

:Life was off faster than a bullet, shooting towards the ground, spiraling in a steep dive, her special..."The Lemon Twist". As she neared both the snitch and the ground, Life reached her hand toward the golden ball, just feet away from hitting the ground...:

(sorrry, i've got to go to school! I just realized i'm dreadfully late.)

[Ravenclaw Chaser Subbing for Yun Yun]

::Order had taken a small break from active chaser play for a few minutes. But he was perfectly alright. Bless Madame! He watched in awe at Lily's flying and Trishes perfect pass and and complete the Soaring Eagle in style::

" Wohoo! Way to go you two"

(gryffindor beater)

::WL kept her spirits high...if she let Ravenclaw get her team down, then there really was no chance...So she told the team exactly that!

"COME ON GRYFFINDORS!!!!!!!! DON'T LET THEM GET YOU DOWN!!!!!!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

::WL decided that the Chasers were having too many problems. The beaters had to help out...

As Cheery entered the scoring area, Duck shot a bludger at the keeper to distract him while WL ripped off her robes and threw them over the other bludger. Then, as the bludger was slightly confused, she batted it slightly over to cheery, nodded, and they both took off.::

::WL suddenly hit the bludger full force at one hoop while Cheery shot at the other hoop.::

::This amazing play used the teamwork and talents of both beaters and chasers and it was incredibly easy to pull off since they had been practising it so much!::

::The ravenclaw keeper didn't know which way to go, since two "Quaffles" were shot straight at her.::

::She chose the red bludger since it was coming so fast but it shot right through her hands and through the hoop, as did the real quaffle!::

::Unfortunately, they couldn't get twenty points out of that, but they could get at least 10!::

gryffindor chaser

::moony runs onto the pitch, red faced and grasping her broom. she couldnt believe the ravenclaws had confunded her! well she was here now and ready to help the lions win!

mounting her broom, she shot up into the air and immediately came face to face with the quaffle that had been thrown back from the hoops. taking a deep breath, she skirted in twisler formation around the ravenclaws, pssing the quaffle back and forth between herself and the other chaser. moony then has the quaffle back but sees a ravenclaw heading straight for her. glancing behind her she performs the Porksckoff Ploy: she flies upwards as fast as she can, leading the opposing chasers following her, but then suddenly turns and throws the quaffle downwards to her fellow chaser waiting to catch it. Moony continues to fly towards the hoops and awaits whilst her fello chaser throws the quaffle towards the hoops. her fingers were crossed as she awaited a possible rebound. ::

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

::Trish saw that another Gryffindor Chaser had possession of the quaffle from Moony. She zoomed towards the chaser's direction and bumped her hard. The move caused the chaser to be unbalanced and to drop the quaffle.::

"yes!"

::She pushed down on her broom to recover the fallen quaffle and she did. She immediately pulled up and quickly changed direction towards the Gryffindor hoops. She looked to her side and saw WL and Duck, both of them looking grave and dangerous.::

"Uh-oh..." Trish mumbled.

::Trish looked around for anyone to help, fellow chaser, beater, anyone, but no one was near enough. It was all up to her. She saw as the two beaters raised their beater bats swinging it, hitting the bludgers towards her. She was trapped. She had two bludgers coming towards her from both left and right. Where else to go?!::

"Where else but up!!" Trish shouted, pulling her firebolt on an almost 90 degree angle upwards.

::The move worked! Not only did she missed the bludgers thrown by both the Gryffindor beaters, the bludgers also came towards the beaters themselves, hitting one of them on the shoulders and the other one hitting the beater's broom, sending her spinning off-direction.::

::Trish had no chance to celebrate and cheer. She rocketed towards the Gryffindor posts and prepared to shoot the quaffle. She was face to face with the Keeper and she knew just what to do. She swerved to the right, then left, then right again then to the left again. The keeper swerved right, thinking that she would move right again, but Trish was smarter than this. Just when the keeper was in front of the right hoop, she threw the quaffle in the hoop, scoring another 10 points to Ravenclaw!::

"That's the way to do it!" Trish cheered, pumping her fists in the air. She flew towards the Ravenclaw side of the stands, waving and blowing kisses to the roaring crowd.

(Gryffindor Beater)

::WL cheered to see the quaffle go in again! "GOOOOO MOONY!!!!!!!!!" Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Trish coming to intercept the Quaffle::

::Using her lightning fast reflexes, WL pounced on a bludger that was just whipping behind her and hit it at Trish, using all her might and her tennis skills she had acquired over the summer to put loads of top spin on it.::

::It hit its mark - Trish's outstretched arm - and prevented her from catching the Quaffle, leaving it to sail into rip's capable hands.::
