Weather: Some sudden clouds are hovering HE's field, brining the possibility of heavy rain, the last remainets of a long gone winter.

Remember to observe the new Quidditch rules: day one is for arriving to the pitch, after which the referee will post and the game can properly begin and chasers can no longer immediately state that they have scored. They must wait for the Keeper to post. See the howler in the main forum for more info.

Kim woke up to the sound of the Jonas Brothers "Goodnight and Goodbye". Her phone alarm went off and she woke up. She got dressed and looked out her window and saw rainclouds. Great, I love it! I just hope there won't be and lightning... She grabbed her Nimbus 2001 and headed off to the pitch.

She walked into the locker rooms and pulled on her knee-high Converse, her blue ones. She put her hair in a sporty headband and then walked onto the field. She was the first one out. Kim decided to do a few warm up's in the air. She did a few laps around the pitch and saw the stands filling up with people and their raincoats and umbrellas.

She started getting ready for the game mentally. Okay, so the snakes today. We shall destroy. We need full inforcments in this weather...Hopefully everyone will show up. And maybe we will score and WIN!!! She started yelling to the crowd, "RA-RA-RAVENCLAW!!!!!!" Now I wait, she thought.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Running happily along the beach tugging a kite behind her on the breezy summer day Kaylee giggled to herself as she took in the site. This had to be one of the most beautiful beaches she’d ever seen, surely this couldn’t be real. Deciding she didn’t care either way she picked back up the pace this time skipping along rather than running. Suddenly as if out of nowhere a horn started going off. This was no normal horn it sounded like one of those horns on a huge ship. Covering her ears Kaylee started looking up and down that beach to see that there was no boat in sight. Slightly baffled and confused she laid down on the soft beach with her ears still covered. Rolling back and forth, doing anything she could think of to make the noise stop she suddenly felt the earth fall out beneath her….

Still holding onto her head Kaylee rolled over to see that rather than in her bed she was now sprawled onto the floor. “DANG IT!! GEMMA!! I KNOW YOU SAID YOU SET A SPECIAL ALARM!! BUT I DIDN’T KNOW IT’D BE LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE UP THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!” Kaylee screamed as she scrambled her way to her feet still holding her head. This was a lot harder than it sounds, have you ever tried to stand up with out using your hands at all?

Running over to Gemmas side of the room Kaylee looked around for a moment to see a large button labeled, ‘Off Switch’. At first she was hesitant to even touch it, as Gemma usually didn’t make things that easy for her, deciding that just about anything was better than having to listen to that noise anymore Kaylee took her elbow and brought it down hard on top of the button. The second she hit the button the alarm stopped and before she could even react a wave of water came crashing down on both hers and Gemmas heads. Spitting out water she mumbled, “I guess that was the second part of the alarm.”

Shaking her head back and forth she stomped back over towards her side of the room. Looking behind her she could see that Gemma was up as well. Now that she had finally let her arms down from the side of her face she started to feel all the bruises that were starting to form from her fall out of her bed. Mumbling cuss words under her breath she picked up her wand and casted a quick spell to dry herself off. Stretching for the first time she wandered over to her dresser and pulled out her outfit for the day.

“Batman pajamas complete with a long black cape and plenty of pockets for sugar stashes. ” She said happily to herself as she walked behind her dressing wall and started to pull off her actual sleeping pajamas and pulled on her ‘game’ pajamas. Once she was fully dressed she stepped out smiling from ear to ear. Skipping slightly she made her way back over to her bed stand and opened up her drawer that was full of her candy supplies. Quickly she shoved and filled all 6 pockets on her pajamas to the brim with sweets.

Once her pockets were all full she walked back over to her dresser and quickly put her long black and blonde hair into her usual pigtails. After he hair was done she picked her wand back up and quickly casted the spell to keep her hair in place. Deciding today she would try something different she pulled her favorite baseball cap and her goggles/sunglasses out of her top dresser drawer. Figuring both the goggles and the cap could come in handy today, regardless of the weather she put the baseball cap on and put the goggles on around the cap for the time being, after all who wears sunglasses inside. Then last but not least she shoved her feet into her favorite pair of tennis shoes.

Taking another look around the room she could see that Gemma seemed to be getting ready as well Kaylee took a look at Cat’s empty bed. “Why of all times did she have to deicide to go visit her family for the weekend. She’s our captain and an integral part of the team. ” Shrugging slightly Kaylee decided that it would be better to not worry so much, after all with or without their captain she was determined to crush her opponents. Sitting back against her bed for a moment she yelled across the room to Gemma, “Who are we playing again today? ” As she spoke she scratched her chin in deep concentration, “Wait never mind I remember, were playing those silly birds again. ”

Standing back up tall she stretched one more time before grabbing gadget, her Nimbus 2001, from atop her chest at the end of her bed and made her way to the door. “Don’t take to much longer getting ready, we don’t want to be horribly late after all!! ” Kaylee yelled back towards Gemma in a joking manner. When she finished yelling she gave a quick turn to wave in Gemmas direction before exiting the room. As she made her way past the dorm rooms she decided to bang on every one, regardless if they were on the team or not. After all they could always use more supporters in the stands.

When she reached the last door she broke out into a full on skip and she continued this through the common room, and then into the dungeons and the hallways. She didn’t stop skipping until she reached the Great Hall. Not really paying attention to anything she walked over and took a seat and started to devour her usual breakfast of toast and pumpkin juice. It wasn’t until she was finished her breakfast that she finally took a look around the table she was sitting at.

Taking everything in she noticed that everyone around her was wearing red instead of green, and they were all looking at her like she was insane. Before she spoke she leaned to the side to see that across the room the table full of people wearing green were also looking at her like she was insane. Finally realizing that she had sat at the wrong table she didn’t bother to speak but just smiled and then stood up and then proceeded to run out of the room.

“Idiot, open your eyes next time. You’d figure that by now you’d know which direction your own house table is!! I wonder how long it will take them to shut up about this screw up. ” Kaylee mumbled to herself as she ran from the Great Hall and then out the front doors and towards the teams locker rooms. Once she finally reached the locker rooms she checked the door 3 times to make sure it was in fact the Slytherin locker rooms before she finally went in.

After she entered she looked around and realized that she was the only person in there. “I really hope I’m not the first one out there, last time I didn’t know what to do with myself. ” She mumbled, shrugging slightly she made her way over to her locker. Pulling out her robes and all of her equipment she started at the bottom and worked her way up pulling on everything piece by piece. Finally she had all of her gear on she pulled on her robes, last but not least she pulled her cape out of the back so that it laid on top of her robes.

“Ready to go get um Gadget? ” Kaylee said softly as she picked up her broom and started petting it in a very caring fashion. Once she felt like Gadget had given her the okay she jumped up and down happily a couple of times before running out onto the pitch. The second she reached the pitch she looked up at the sky, seeing the possibility of rain, shaking her head back and forth she pulled her hat off and then pulled her goggles off the top. Pulling her goggles on over her eyes she proceeded to put her baseball cap back on, only this time to the side.

Mounting Gadget she gave a loud ‘WHOOP!!’ before kicking off hard into the air. At first she didn’t notice the birdie in the air and she started to fly around in odd patterns and circles. The second she noticed the other player she stopped dead in mid air. Normally stopping dead in mid flight wouldn’t be that big of a deal, well Kaylee was hanging upside down on her broom. Wrapping her legs tightly around her broom she took one of her hands and waved towards the birdie.

Figuring she could offer her some courtesy, since they were the lone rangers out there at the moment. But make no mistakes, friendly or not, when those balls were in the air it wouldn’t matter, Kaylee would still be out for blood. Still upside down Kaylee flashed the girl a smile before pulling up hard on her broom causing her to go flying towards the Slytherin end of the field.

*geez. what a long post....*

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim waved at the new girl on the field- a Slytherin. Kim kneew it would be cool and polite to wave. But she didn't really know her and was NOT about to make friendly conversation with the enemy. SHe hoped the otehr players would show up soon....As she worried, she thought about strategies to go through during the game.

[Slytherin Beater]

Bella woke up yawning. ''Time to get up for quidditch'', she said sleepily to no one in particular. Bella quietly got out of bed and stretched a few of her muscles. She quickly located her Quidditch robes and began pulling them on. Suddenly, a loud bang on the door of Bella's dorm made her shriek loudly in fright and drop her robes. Bella stuck her head out the door to murder whoever had made the sound, only to see Kaylee's back disapearing down the stairs. Muttering darkly, Bella finished getting dressed and walked downstairs and into the great hall.

Upon arriving, Bella noticed Kaylee sitting at the Gryffendor table instead of the Slytherin one. Bella laughed softly as she passed, deciding not to point out Kaylee's mistake to her in payback for banging on the door. Bella attempted to down a piece of toast but discovered she wasnt hungry. Giving up, Bella made her way down to the quidditch pitch, feeling quite grateful that she wasnt late for once.

Once on the pitch, Bella entered the locker room, pausing to pull on her beater gloves and grab her beaters bat and Nimbus 2000. Exiting, Bella looked up at the overcast sky in disapointment. She hated the cold weather and could only pray there would be no rain.

Bella mounted her broomstick and kicked hard off the ground. After doing a few warm up laps, Bella pulled herself to a stop next to Kaylee. ''Yuk! Just look at this awful weather'', Bella exclaimed, no longer mad at Kaylee for scaring her to death. She had served her punishment. Bella Paused to look at Kaylee, the fact that she wasnt talking to herself meant the absence of Kaylee's imaginary pet spider monkey who regularly helped the team play Quidditch. ''Where's Fred?'' Bella asked.

(Referee)

Raistlin ran to the field but came to a halt and raised his eyebrow. Only three players in the field.

"Curse those professors and bloody homework no one gets time for Quidditch anymore these days."

Raistlin slowed down his pace since there seem to be no hurries. Carefully he placed the wooden box with the balls in the grass and released bludgers and snitch. Grabbing the quaffle he flew to the middle of the field and threw it in the air and blew his whistle.

"Have fun you three."

(RAVENCLAW CHASER)

Hmm...what's on the agenda for today? Elana wondered, taking a look up at the cork bulletin board set up in the Ravenclaw common room. It was a place for students to post goings on, club meeting times, missing items, and, when the time came around, their Heads posted the exam schedules, and usually there was quite a crowd around it... Scanning the colorful papers for that day's date, a large black and white moving sketch of an eagle and snake flying through the sky caught her eye. Beneath the drawing was scrawled the words,

RAVENCLAW VS. SLYTHERIN
SATURDAY
COME SUPPORT THE TEAM!

In a different hand, underneath that, someone had written,

And team, you'd better be on time!

Guessing it had been one of the captains, Elana took that warning to heart. So that was why the common room was nearly empty! Hurriedly, she sprinted down from the Tower, only stopping momentarily at the Hall to grab something to eat while continuing her run down to the pitch. As she crossed the grounds, the cheers from the pitch grew louder with each step. Hoping she wasn't too late, she entered the locker rooms and speed-changed into her Quidditch robes and other gear. She scarfed down the rest of the bagel she had taken from the Hall and took her broom out of her locker. Rushing out to the pitch, she looked up at the sky for her team. There was only one other blue robed figure and two green clad ones, along with the Ref. Rai must have just released the balls...So she wasn't that late after all! The darkening skies promised rain, though, but she hoped it would hold off until after the game.

Elana mounted her broom and kicked off and shot up into the sky. The Quaffle was easy to spot, a large red ball in the dark blue sky, and she rushed towards it. She reached out an arm and grabbed it, stopping its fall, and began her flight to the Slytherin goals.

(Slytherin Keeper.)
Violet woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. ‘It’s to early to wake man.’ She thought and rolled out of bed. Looking at her clock, she saw it was way past the time she should be up. “Shoot!” She yelled and started putting her clothes on. “Again I’m late. What’s up with this. Cat’s going to kill me” Violet said. Grabbing her firebolt and a pony tail, she ran down the stairs, making sure her shoes were tied this time.

“Don’t say anything to me.” Violet yelled into the common room, when someone went to talk to her. “God, I should kill myself, I’m always late” Violet said. Violet ran down the halls, up towards land. “Why? Why in the name of Merlin’s beard did Salazar have to have a common room under the lake?” Violet asked herself. Looking at her broom, she jumped on it and flew in the halls of Hogwarts. “Watch out!” Violet yelled, scaring some Ravies and Gryffies. “I told you to watch out!” She yelled, looking behind her, only to crash. “Ow” She said and looked up to see she crashed into a wall

“How do you miss a wall?” Violet said and walked up the stairs. “I love you but I’m not getting killed today.” Violet said, looking at her firebolt. The people around her looked at her like she was crazy. “What? Got a problem with me?” Violet said. She started humming a song, seeing as she was outside. “Taco taco taco!” Violet said and saw that a Ravie had the quaffle. “No!” She yelled and jumped on her firebolt again.

“You will not defeat me like this!” Violet yelled, panting in front of the middle goal. She saw the Ravie coming and she watched to see which way she would go. “I let it in the first time, not this time. No.” Violet mumbled. “Where is everyone anyway?” She said, getting distracted. She heard a rush and looked back up. “No, watch the Ravie Violet.” Violet said to herself again.

(Slytherin Seeker)
Katherine woke up to the sound of the alarm in the dorm below her. But, seeing as it was quickly shut off, she had fallen back to sleep. Now, she was late. As she hurried to pull on her uniform of black sweats, green robe, white tee and black rain boots, she glanced at the time. "Much too late". She pulled her hair into a high ponytail and ran through the changing room, onto the feild and kkicked off hard into the air. A little too hard, as she sped straight up about 300 feet over the rest of the players, far to high. "dang it, I need to stop doing that" she said to herself.
Katherine looked at the game in front of her. She saw Elena with the quaffle, on her way to their goal. This did not worry her too much, they had a good keeper. There were only a few members of her team on the feild allready, but they seemed to outnumber the ravenclaws. Ravenclaw had yet to get their keeper too. With their advantages, the score should quickly shoot up in their favor. Now her only worry was that annpoying tiny golden ball that she lived to catch. It helped greatly that she had the advantage of being the first seeker on the feild.
She was just floating above the other players game, watching, reveling in how empty the feild seemed right now. Then, she felt a tiny rain drop, and it all came in perspective. SHe quickly cleared her mind of all thoughts but finding the snitch. She had memorized the many different glints it cast, in all the directions it flew. She knew how to distuingish it from the suns glare. And she was finally ready. Turning on her broom to face Ravenclaws goal, she saw it. A tiny glint by their main post, then it seemed to sense her looking at it, and it sped off. Katherine took off in a 360 degree turn after it. It sped all the way to the other side of the feild, weaved in and out of the towers and posts that held all the houses colors. Anfdd then, it sped down to the grondnd. She went into a dive straight down, pulling out when she thought it was no longer possible for her to keep going without crashing. She had lost it.
"Dang it" she thought "Its going to be one of those days"

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy was walking down one of the many corridors that filled the school and quickly noticed that there was someting missing- people. Now where is everyone? Stephy asked herself as she made her way over towards one of the nearest windows that pointed towards the qudditch pitch. Looking out of it Stephy saw the pitch and what looked liked little figures out on brooms.

"Oh me goodness" Stephy shouted as she darted down the halls and made her way towards the pitch. "How could I have forgotten that there was a qudditch game today. My team mates are going to kill me." Stephy burst through the front doors and ran out onto the field and looked up into the sky. "I need my broom. I need to change into my robes. I NEED NY BAT!" Stephy shouted as she ran into the locker room and headed stright towards her locker. She threw open the door and pulle out her robes, changing into them first. next she got her gloves and once they were surcely on she pulled her hair up. Stephy then pulled out her bat and her broom before she ran out onto the pitch again this ready for the match.

Once outside she threw her leg over her broom and kicked hard off of the ground rising high up into the air. Scanning the field she waved to her fellow teammates but then spotted who she was playing against- Violet and Bella.

"VIOLET!!" Stephy screamed as she flew over towards her. "Hello my daughter. Now try not to be too mean to anyone today and I'll be sure to give you a plate full of my yummy brownies after the match is over" she said before turning to Bella."Bella, it's great to see you outside of the Den" Stephy called out to her and then noticed that she was holding a bat. "Your a beater too. This is going to be fun" Stephy said as she held up her bat too to show that she was one of the beaters for the Ravenclaw team

[Slytherin Chaser]

After flipping around in the air a couple of times toward the Slytherin end of the field, Kaylee finally stopped and sat straight up in enough time to see Ziggy make her way onto the pitch. When Bella made the comment on the weather Kaylee just nodded her head in agreement. And then Bella said, ''Where's Fred?'' when she said this Kaylee squished up her nose for a moment before turning towards Bella to reply. "Oh he's here, we are just having a fight at the moment. He thinks that N'Sync will never get back together. Where as I say that if the New Kids on the Block can do it than anyone can."

Shrugging her shoulders slightly she gave Bella a quick smile before returning her attention to the field. Looking around she saw Rai, her awesome head of house and obviously the referee for this match exiting the field. "That can only mean one thing." She mumbled to her self as she began gritting her teeth and scanning the pitch for that beautiful red ball. Letting out a slow grumble when she finally found it, seemingly the birdie chaser happened to be in possession of it.

A quick wave of panic flew over her as she realized that she still hadn't seen her teams keeper. Wincing slightly she turned just in time to see Violet making her entrance. "Good, now that she's here things should get interesting." She mumbled to herself as she gave Violet a quick wave and turned back towards Bella. Smirking evilly Kaylee nudged Bella gently with her elbow and signaled towards the opposing teams chasers, "Do you think you could send one of those fine bludgers that way, even up the odds a bit for me. At least until Gemma's behind gets here."

Cracking her knuckles and neck in a menacing fashion she narrowed her eye's on the birdie with the quaffle. Nudging Bella one more time playfully Kaylee smiled at her happily before taking off towards the opposing chaser.

Where in the world is Gemma? I know she and I got up at the same time. And I could have sworn that she was moving about the room when I left, so what on earth is taking her so long?

Crouching down low on her broom Kaylee continued to wonder where in the world Gemma could be. In all seriousness she was starting to get worried, had something happened to her? Hoping for the best, that maybe Gemma fell back asleep, or something along those lines. Shrugging off her thoughts of the worst Kaylee continued on her path.

Finally catching up to the chaser she flew in quickly right next to her, keeping pace with the birdie chaser as she made her way towards the Slytherin end of the pitch. As she waited for the chaser to make her move Kaylee decided to have some fun with the her, "So you know Violet is like the bomb as keeper? It will be a slim to nil chance of you scoring on her. Besides when you go to throw it I'll just move quickly and snatch it before it even gets within range of making a goal." As she spoke she tried to act as nonchalant about the situation as possible, as if this was an everyday occurrence.

Still she knew that there was little chance of her being that quick, after all she was good, but not that good. To add the cherry on top of her nonchalant act she decided to reach down with one hand and pull out a piece of candy. Bringing the piece of candy up to her other hand at the front of the broom she unwrapped the candy lazily. Once it was completely free of the wrapper she took one hand and put the candy in her mouth and then shoved the wrapper in her pocket. After the wrapper was put away and the candy was dissolving in her mouth she just smiled over at the birdie chaser and continued to watch her every move.

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim had missed the start of action. She was zoned out, or something, she thought. She didn't know how many players were on the pitch. She saw a mix of colors, for the two teams. Kim had missed the Quaffle, but it was okay, Elana, the other Chaser had it. Kim relaxed and waved at her teammates. She gasped and thought, Wait, Elana has the Quaffle. I have to help her, duh! Kim sped off towards Elana and the Slytherin Chaser, who was taunting her. Kim knew Elana could focus good and hoped to catch up in time to help her.

Kim did, she caught up. Kim whistled at Elana and hoped she'd get the hint. She thought, Pass it, pass it! As she continued to fly she looked at Violet (in the rings) with a dead on glare.

(RAVENCLAW CHASER)

As Elana flew with the Quaffle, Kaylee of Slytherin caught up to her and continued to fly beside her all the way to the goals. The Chaser seemed relaxed, taunting her and munching on candy. Since she wasn't making a move to take the Quaffle right from her, Elana tried to just ignore her and focus on the goal coming up. Spotting Kim rushing up to her from behind, she smiled sweetly and replied, "Slim to nil? Well, we're pretty good shots, so there's still a chance then."

At Kim's whistle, Elana spun around tightly and threw her the Quaffle, hoping that in the moments it would be in free-fall Kaylee wouldn't catch it instead of the Ravenclaw. They were close, only mere feet away from the goal and the apparently bomb Keeper that was Violet, and it would be a pity to lose it now. She gripped her broom and pulled upwards so that she was level with the right hand goal. In case Kim needed her to throw it in, she kept her hands free and tensed, ready to catch it.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Watching Elana's every move Kaylee knew almost instantly when the other chaser flew up. Still following her she heard the birdie chaser mumble something in rebuttal to Kaylee's previous taunt. Knowing body language the way she did Kay just continued to smile and watch, and the moment the chaser spun around she followed but pulled up hard causing her to do an entire flip in mid air.

When she finally came to a stop she was evenly placed in between the two opposing chasers. Shaking her head to gather her bearings she looked from Elana to Kim to see that neither of them seemed to be in possession of the quaffle at the moment. Momentarily baffled Kay looked quickly from one chaser to the other before finally looking up to see that it was in midair between the two.

Giving a perfectly wicked smile Kaylee buckled down on her broom, wrapping both ankles tightly together and gripping with one hand as tightly as possible she rocketed forward with her hand outstretched. Closing her eyes as she sprung forward she didn't even realize just how close she was until her fingers came into contact with something. Momentarily Kaylee didn't think and just let her hand hit it without grasping what it was she was hitting.

Opening her eye's slightly she looked around to see that she was now well past where the quaffle should have been, and for the second time in seconds was very confused. That was until she looked down and noticed it now falling towards the ground. "Duh you dumb oaf, that must have been what you hit when you took off with your eye's closed. Next time keep your eye's open and pay attention."

Not hesitating for a moment Kaylee turned her broom quickly and once again buckled down and headed full speed towards the quaffle, which was now on a fast paced journey towards the ground. Fighting to keep her eyes open she felt a hit on the top of her head, "Yes Fred I know I need to move faster, and I've got my eye's open this time, no worries. I don't make the same mistake twice, well more than 5 times at the most." She mumbled to her invisible monkey friend Fred who went every where with her on her shoulder.

Gritting her teeth she buckled down even more and stretched out her hand again, only this time she wouldn't come up short. Catching the quaffle just mere feet from the ground Kaylee did a quick move to level herself out before she went crashing down to the ground. Looking above her she could still make out the two birdie chasers hovering, obviously waiting for her to make her next move.

Gripping her broom tightly she stayed buckled down tightly and started to make her way towards the birdies goal posts. As she took in the opposing teams end of the pitch she winced slightly as she noticed the beater who had shown up while she wasn't paying attention. Growing more determind she continued on her path, maybe if she was lucky the beater wouldn't notice her and she could continue on her path to the hoops with little to no interference.

{Ravenclaw Seeker and Co-Captain}

Rigby stood in front of her locker, rooting through its contents in search of her rain gear. The dark clouds she had spotted from the windows on her way here threatened a down pour. Rain made Quidditch even more fun, and Rigby hadn't played in what felt like ages. Quidditch had sadly taken a back seat to HEBB, but now she was beginning to juggle her time a bit better.

Aha! Rigby found the can of Rain Off and sprayed her broom handle. Her broom was getting a bit old and the orginaly rain repellant spell was wearing off. She liked playing in the rain, but she did not enjoy slipping of her broom. She'd managed to be concussion free so far this season and planned on staying that way.

Rigby tucked her broom under her arm, braiding her hair as she made her way to the pitch. Stepping out of the tunnel, she felt the beginning sprinkles of rain. Hopping on to her broom, she zoomed into the air surprised to see the game already in progress. For once she had thought she was on time. Shouting a quick hello to her teammates she got down to tracking the snitch.

Violet looked confused. “What the hell just happen?” She asked and looked at Elana and Kim. Violet shook her head and saw Kaylee head towards the ground. “Go Kay!” She yelled and watched her grab it and fly towards the Ravie Goal. Violet smiled at the two Ravie chasers and pulled out a sucker. “Want one?” She asked and shrugged, popping it into her mouth. “Hello mother!” Violet yelled across the pitch at Stephy. “Sorry but I cant play fair today!” She yelled at her. Violet licked her lips and said, “Yum, cherry.” And popped it back into her mouth.

“I hope it don’t rain. Not right now.” Violet mumbled. Her stomach growled and she glared. “You are not being nice to me. I love food, but I cant have none.” She said. She hoped Kay would get a goal, that way, she could eat her sucker. Violet flew back to her goal and lean back, her back against the goal. “One, little, two, three little Ravies. And they will all fall down.” Violet mumbled. Her stomach growled again and she glared. “When we win, I’ll get a taco.” Violet mumbled darkly at her stomach. It stopped growling and she smiled, sucking on her sucker again but five seconds later, it growled again.

“If I could starve you, I would, but I like food, so your lucky.” Violet mumbled. She sat back again and heard more thunder. “The God’s hate me today.” Violet mumbled again and laid back. “Five little six, little seven Ravies. We will knock them out!” She sang loudly. “I know a song that gets on the Ravies nerves, on the Ravies nerves, on the Ravies nerves!” Violet sang over and over. Violet started laughing and her stomach growled again. “That’s it! No more food, ever!” She yelled and looked at her sucker. “But I really want this.” She said and popped it back in her mouth. “You are really lucky” She said.

Gemma rolled around in her lying position. Something seemed slightly off about the feeling of the bed underneath her, or the way her pillow kept hurting her head. It almost seemd as if things fought her, which they certainly shouldn't be doing. Half-awake but quite suspicious, she slowly pried her eyes open, only to discover that her surroundings seemed quite unfamiliar. Her dorm had always felt...different before. And her bed had used to be softer, more comfortable. She wondered whether this was one of her friends' tricks to waking her up, then she noticed that thy were unusually quiet for playing tricks. Utterly confused, she finally opened her eyes all the way and gave her best to make sense of what she saw. Above her was some dark, huge thing, a staircase's underside possibly? And below her, the thing on which she had been lying- a floor. Dark, cold stone. That explained the lack of good sleep. But why, exactly, had she even tried to sleep in that place?

As she scanned over herself, taking in the colors in which she was dressed - green and silver - and the sporty robes she was wearing, something seemed to stir at the back of her mind. She scratched her head in confusion, only to discover the moving thing hadn't been any kind of intelligent thought but rather a little mouse. Yet she could detect all by herself that something wasn't the way it was supposed to be. Yes, Gemma was definitely a clever person, believe me. Just not right after having woken up. Or right before going to bed. Or when she was eating. Or talking. Or- well, let's not get further into this. There were more urgent problems at hand. Like, where was she and why? She carefully stood up, looked down a dungeon-like corridor to the one side. It had a familiar air about it. Dungeons, she thought, dungeons. Where did those possibly come up, for the sake of Salaza- oh. Wow. Stupidness.

She had finally figured that she had slept sprawled over a staircase somewhere between the Slytherin Common Room and the rest of Hogwarts. Now the only thing left to guess was her reason for doing so. Though she might not even have had a reason. It wasn't until she took another suspicious look at her house-colored clothing that she figured it at last, and fragments of memory settled where they belonged. She had once again stayed up all night, unable to fall asleep. Probably had been star-gazing at the window of her dorm, and at some point lay down onto her bed, denying herself the knowledge that she wouldn't ever fall asleep. Before she knew it and long after she had given up trying to doze off, she had been bothered by a stupid shi's horn she had set for her and Kay to wake up [while Cat was gone somewhere to visit her parents]. And after that, she had as it appeared to be, taken a lot longer to get ready than her Banana, which meant she had had nobody to keep her from falling asleep on a staircase off all the places in the world.

Okay, next thing I know I'll learn how to make some bloody Sleeping Draught, I can't have this happen all the time in the future. It might be rather embarassing once somebody finds me. Speak-erm, thinking of which: I wonder why nobody bothered to wake me up down here. I don't think all of Slytherin suddenly decided to stay in their dorm all day, why would they? Or is it Hogsmeade today? Gosh, Gemma, get some memory cells working properly, will you? You must have been going somewhere, as must everybody else. Kay. Kitty not, as she isn't there. But all the others must have...No. Noooo. Not today.

Gemma broke into a run all of a sudden, concentrating hard to keep herself from hitting her head at the same time and slipping as she knew she would if she did that. She chased up the stairs, passed the doors of the Great Hall and - slipped anyway. She hadn't expected the grass outside to be wet, so she flew face-first into the mud before struggling right up again. She didn't even wipe the mess from her face in her attempt to stay upright and unning this time. She reached the locker rooms flying and threw open the door which went banging against the wall and swung right back to greet her a little to enthusiastically. The sudden contact of stubborn wood and surprised node caused a weird noise and she hoped she hadn't broken any bones there. It just wasn't a day made for her as it was so far, no need to break bones before a game even started!

Torn somewhere between laughing out loud and crying in frustration she gathered her equipment in a hurry, trying to work her way through dressing up while at the same time cleaning her hair and putting her hair up into the trademark messy bun. Miraculously, she managed all that without yet another accident and skidded out onto the field as the nervous wreck she was. And within a few seconds, she stepped back into the locker room again. Wandless magic was the one thing, but broomless flying didn't sound like the thing she was bound to try, and thus she made a grab for her beloved wooden friend and went out onto the pitch again, faintly noticing that her nose was beginning to hurt now. Reluctant, however, to ake care of this problem at that very moment, she mounted her broom and kicked off from the ground, trying to catch a glimpse of her team members. Most of them were probably present, or at least the amount of blurred green seemed about right. At whcih Gemma double-checked what she saw, because blurred? Rain was the one thing, but the fact that she had managed to forget putting in her contacts almost made her snap. The only thing preventing her from it was a reddish-greenish blur above her. It had to be one of her team's chasers, possibly Kay. Which meant getting up there and helping [as far as she could with her crippled eye-sight].

She went up and after the blur that had swept past, ignoring all the throbbing and stuff her body was doing and concentrating on the game and only that. "Hey, need some help there with the Quaffle?", she shouted. Hoping however that her help wasn't needed too much. This was going to be one interesting game, she figured as the rain rinsed left mud from her forehead into her eyes and she hit herself on the nose rather painfully when trying to rub her eyes. Her only hope was that she had been late enough to have not too much of the game left, but if she had to do some work still, she would and that meant she had to stop complaining. Everything is just going fine, isn't it? Yes, it is. At least almost. A little. Possibly. Hopefully. Shut it!

(Slytherin Beater)

Bella smiled a quick hello at Stephy. Bella nodded absently as she watched the clouds change shape and size. It was quite loverly. Bella was so out of it she failed to notice the balls being released, but thankfully, Kay asked her to help with the ravie who had the quaffle. Bella snapped her attention to the game and noticed three things. One, the ravies had the quaffle, two Kaylee was it hot pursuit of them and three Violet was there to defend the goals. Bella spun her broomstick around to locate a bludger to help Kay out.

Bella finally spotted one of the bludgers, and mustering all her strength, Bella smashed it towards Elana and Kim. Bella watched as it sailed closer and closer to them. Somthing didnt look right. A moment later, Bella noticed the absence of the red quaffle between them. ''Oh God!'', Bella muttered. Kaylee had already stolen the quaffle. Bella hoped the ravies would move out of the way before they were injured, or maybe not... if they were one short it would certainly help lead the Slytherins to victory.

Bella smiled as more of the Slytherins arrived before flying to find another bludger. Although the ravenclaw keeper hadnt arrived yet, Bella wanted to make sure that if she did, Kaylee would still be perfectly able to score the first goal of the game.

Herby continued to read her book, when she could hear faintly in the background, some quidditch players playing on the pitch. Glancing up, she noticed it was Slytherins and......OMG Ravenclaws. What the heck? Herby quickly ran back to her room and checked her calendar. For some strange reason it showed that it was Slytherins vs Hufflepuff, not Ravies.

Grabbing her uniform, broom and bat, Herby ran down to the pitch trying to make up for lost time. Upon entering she quickly ran into the change rooms, when she noticed all of her housemates stuff. She knew for sure that a mistake had been made. Heading out the door, Herby jumped on her broom and started to scan the field for a bludger.

(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Polly rushed on down towards the quidditch pitch her heart racing. She had been revising for the up coming exams in the libary and forgotten all about quidditch. Running into the changing rooms she slammed her bag down on the floor not caring that all of her books were spilling out everywhere. Rumaging through she pulled out the crumpled up quidditch robe and shuffled into it throwing her other clothes carlessly in a pile on the floor. With all her clothes on properly POlly grabbed her broom and ran out towards the pitch not caring about the state of the changing rooms.

Once she got to the pitch she felt her face burn up at the fact that she was late. Breathing hard she placed her broom in between her legs and kicked of from the ground. She quickly flew to her position guilt rising in the pit of her stomach at every passing moment. Looking around she tried to make sense of what was now happening.
