Skie woke up with a start, clutching her duck beanie baby tightly to her chest. "Sorry Dr. FrankenDuck, I must have strangled you!" Skie said vaguely, trying to remember what had given her such an abrupt awakening. “Hm… ho-hum… wah! Why can’t I remember anything? It’s all a blank slate!” Skie sighed at her own senileness, which had appeared very early… perhaps at about ten or eleven years old. Kneeling on her bed and hearing the groan of springs beneath her, Skie faced the two calendars above her bed. “Ah… the seventeenth of May… Today, according to Professor Trelwaney, I will meet four dwarves with the purpose of selling me melted chocolate. After that, I will proceed to break my arms, legs, and pelvis while performing a cheering charm, therefore I will be laughing, and then I will end up facedown in Madame Pomfrey’s office because the dwarves took me there. What a wonderful day I’m going to have.” Skie giggled, mostly because she knew that the more tragically depressing her predictions of the week were, the better grade Trelwaney would give her. “And, back to my actual calendar… a quidditch game is today’s forecast!” Skie’s fake newsperson voice was utterly happy and cheery until Skie thought about what she had just said. “Oh wait, quidditch! OhMySoaringBludgers, I’ve got to go!” Skie jumped out of bed as quick as a flash and quickly pulled on her quidditch clothes, minus her beautiful black and gold robes that were hanging in the locker room. Skipping down the stairs two at a time, Skie promptly forgot about the trick stair on one of the staircases, that is, until she put a leg through it. “Jumping broomsticks, I better not be late!” Skie cried as she pulled herself from the nasty little step. Grabbing a hot coffee from the Great Hall as she whizzed by, Skie didn’t stop, even when the caffeine rich coffee burned it’s way down her throat. Swallowing the last bit of her coffee, Skie felt the familiar tingle of a caffeine buzz begin to make her more and more awake. As Skie ran into the Huffie locker room, Skie pulled off her robes from their rack and slipped them on as quickly as possible, without tangling occuring. Yanking her stubborn, bed head-like hair, and shoving her feet into her shoes, all at once, Skie grabbed Timothy and raced out onto the pitch. Scanning the skies for anyone she knew, Skie mounted Timothy and began her ascent into the air enjoying the excitement of the crowd. Smoothing her hair back into a more acceptable ponytail, though it probably still looked like a rat’s nest, Skie realized that she was actually the first one on the pitch and put her feet on the ground, waiting for her teammates and the other team to arrive.

::Dani's mood was reflecting the weather, she was grumpy and sick of rules and such. She'd climbed out of bed on the wrong side and she was going to show the world which side she had climbed out of. With a evil smile plastered on her pale face, she was going to give anyone who tangled with her a bad day. Watch out Slytherin's Seeker.

Walking onto the pitch, she waved carlessly at Skie and got on her broom, kicking off from the ground she soared a little.

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Dragon yawned and flopped her head against her broom as she yawned once more while tugging on her quidditch robes. She was so tired from that hours long duel she just did. Rubbing her eyes, she muttered a string of tired half hearted curses and headed towards the door leading out, only to walk into the wall. "Ow.." she yelped, now more or less more awake.

Stretching her arms she took the broom that she had slung over her shoulder and dragged herself to a refreshment stand that had appeared at the center of the field...Now, where did that come from? Shrugging, she chugged down a cup of coffee so fast she almost burned her throat. Coughing, she felt the bags of sugar that she had dumped in, kick in and felt herself waking up.

Munching on a donut, she threw one leg over the broom and took off. Waving at Skie and Dani - who looked like she was in bad mood, Dragon circled the pitch while waiting for the other teammates.

Jamie walked down into the changing rooms and smiled at ther fact that he wasn't late......
"hey! i didn;t even know there was a match today! i was just told by on of the Slytherins!" he exclaimed, insulted and emused..

he pulled on his kit and looked over to his nimbus 2000,
"you'll do me for another few matches!"

Bella woke up shivering in the early hours of the morning. She groaned in the cold weather. After about ten minutes, Bella gave up on sleep and pulled herself out of bed. She quickly dressed into her quidditch gear and left the dorm quietly so not to wake her sleeping dorm mates. Bella checked her watch as the exited the common room. ''5:30 am!'' Bella groaned. No one else would be up at this ungodly hour.

Bella walked into the empty Great Hall and poured herself a hot cup of coffee to warm up. She slowly chewed on her scones as she waited for the rest of the castle to awaken. Whilst eating, she decided to attempt to think up some strategies for the game ahead. Bella watched as the Great Hall slowly filled itself with students. When it was finally an acceptable time to head to the match, Bella jumped up and briskly walked out.

Once in the Slytherin locker room, Bella grabbed her Nimbus 2000 and beaters bat and walked onto the field. The weather had not changed much in the last few hours, the gloomy sky continued to threaten to storm. As Bella looked up in the sky, she saw that in all her dwadling, several players had beaten her to the field. The canery yellow robes told Bella that they were all Hufflepuff players. Praying that the rest of her team would show up before the match started, Bella mounted her broom and did a few warm up laps.

Bella narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the four Hufflepuffs as she zoomed past them, trying to figure out what they were up too.

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Skie waved brightly at Dani and Dragon, her brown eyes twinkling as she thought about the match ahead. "Hey you guys!" Skie yelled as she lapsed back into thoughtful silence. Scanning her mind for all of the different strategies for the game, Skie realized that there was a Slytherin on the pitch and smiled, perhaps the game would get interesting sooner than she expected.

Waiting anxiously for the quaffle to be released, Skie mounted up onto her broom and flew into the gloomy, cloud covered sun. Sharp eyes watching the pitch oh- so carefully, Skie was ready to react on the slightest movement.

[Slytheirn Chaser]

Rolling around Kaylee came to the sudden realization that she was unbearably uncomfortable. Noticing that she was missing her pillow she started to grumble as she blindly searched around for it. As she started to feel around she noticed that her bed had grown very hard and well dirty to say the least. Now cussing under her breath she sat straight up and finally opened her eyes, only to realize that she couldn’t see a thing. Feeling around she also noticed that she seemed to be lacking her blankets as well.

“Where in the world am I? Think you idiot, think…. Where were we the last time we can remember?” Speaking out loud to herself, since she obviously was in some dark passageway or something, she doubted she had company. Once again feeling around her she found a wall, and it seemed to be made of the same dirty and hard material as the floor was. Grumbling even more she racked her brain trying to remember anything that might clue her in as to where exactly she was.

“It seems like we are in a tunnel, obviously a tunnel with no windows or lighting since I can’t see a thing. So that must mean it’s somewhere under ground.” Scratching her head for another moment she suddenly gasped as she started to remember what she was doing last night. “I was serving my detention, for hexing those aggravating Gryffindor first years. Anyone could plainly see that they deserved it, they were making fun of my morning mistake before the match last week. And I don’t see the humor in the situation, it could have happened to anyone.”

Squaring her shoulders she continued to talk out loud walking herself towards hopefully discovering where in the world she was. “Anyways, back to the detention. I was forced to clean and polish all of the suits of armor and statues in the hallways. That stupid git Filtch, always making everyone else do his job for him.” Crossing her arms over her chest she began to pace as she spoke out loud.

“While I was cleaning I was extremely tired, since Gemma has been upset it’s been throwing off the vibes in our room so I haven’t been sleeping very good. AH HA!” She yelled the last part out loud, “I was growing ever so tired so I decided to climb into the one eyed witch passageway to take a quick break, after all Filtch would never find me down there, well I guess here, to yell at me for being lazy.” Jumping up and down in place she suddenly felt ten times better about her situation, after all at least now she knew where she was.

Still jumping up and down slightly she continued, “I must have fallen asleep down her on accident. Oh well, not a big deal, now just to find my way out of this place and back to the school.” Looking around she remembered she couldn’t’ see a thing. Pulling out her wand she yelled, “LUMOS!” After all she was going to need a good amount of light to find her way out of here. Once the passageway lit up she could see that she was close to either end. Once again slightly confused she laid her wand on her hand and said, “Point Me.” And instantly her wand pointed to her right, signaling that Hogwarts was indeed that way.

Making her way at a slight run she came to the stairs up and out of the passageway in less than a minute, which meant that she wasn’t that far down. As she reached the top she opened the entrance slowly, and peaked outside. Looking in all directions it seemed that the hallway was for the moment completely deserted. Climbing her way out quickly she began to walk at a quick pace towards the dungeons and the Slytherin common room. Luckily for her no one seemed to be paying much attention to her, they all seemed to be in a hurry to get some where.

Keeping a quicker pace she nearly ran into the Slytherin common room, and nearly knocked down a couple of first years on her way to her dorm room. Once she was almost to the stairs a large flyer posted on the bulletin board caught her eye, after all it wasn’t normal to see the color yellow in the Slytherin common room. In big bold face letters the flyer read, “Slytherin vs. Hufflepuff game today! BE THERE!!” Letting out a slight squeak she took off running into her dorm room.

Once she was in she slammed the door shut and ran over to her dresser, when she looked in the mirror she nearly fainted at the sight. Her entire face, arms and clothes were covered in dirt. “Well I don’t have time for a shower now, after all I’m probably already REALLY late.” She spoke out loud not realizing that anyone else was still in the room. After all Gemma was usually always the early riser, and Cat was gone again for the weekend.

Quickly pulling off her soiled clothes Kaylee hopped around putting on her lucky batman pajamas. Not having time for the usual pig tails she quickly just threw her long hair back into a pony tail and then quickly cast the spell to keep it in place. Finally she pulled on her shoes and turned to see Gemma still happily sleeping away in her bed. Not having time to pull her usual tricks she ran over to Gemmas bed and proceeded to shake it violently. “GEMMA!! WAKE UP!!! QUIDDITCH TODAY!! NOW WE ARE LATE!!” She screamed as she shook the bed.

Gemma seemed to be moving so Kaylee ran quickly over to her own bedside table and filled her pockets with candy, after all she’d probably pass out in the air if she didn’t grab any. Not wanting to waste a second longer she picked up her trusty Nimbus 2001, which she fondly dubbed gadget and took off out of the dorm.

Running through the hallways at full speed, Kaylee ran right past the Great Hall. Normally she’d stop for breakfast, but something in her told her that she didn’t have time for that today. As she ran she knocked over a couple of first years and nearly ran straight into one of Peeves tricks. Luckily for her she missed it, after all that was the last thing she needed to deal with right now. Still running at full speed she nearly exploded out of the front doors and continued her pace all the way until she reached the Slytherin teams locker room.

Faster than she ever had before she pulled on all of her equipment and quickly gave gadget a happy pat and then bolted out onto the pitch. Not even bothering to look how many players their were out on the pitch she quickly mounted her broom and kicked off. “Fred, lets hope were not too late. After all Cat might kill us if we don’t pull this match off.” Fred gave her a reassuring tap on the head as she continued to climb to her usual altitude.

Once she was fully up in the air she looked around to see that four Huffies had already made it out and only one other Slytherin player. “I hope they get here soon, we will need all the players we can get this round.” She mumbled to herself as she flew over to hover by Ziggy.

Smiling lightly at Ziggy she noticed also that the game hadn’t officially started, so she wasn’t to horribly late. Leaning towards Ziggy she joked, “I guess I wasn’t as late as I thought, maybe I could have spared a few more minutes to take a shower and wash some of this dirt off” As she finished speaking she couldn’t help but laugh lightly at her own remark. After all she had to look a mess, dirt on her face and hands and well her appearance was a drastic change from the normal chaos that was her.

Still smiling she nodded her head at each of the Huffies before pulling a handful of pixie sticks out of her pocket. Ripping a whopping ten out she opened them all in one swift motion and poured them down her throat. After all she had missed her normal breakfast and she didn’t want her lack of food and nourishment distracting her this game. Whistling softly once she was done she started to jerk around on her broom waiting for both other players to arrive and for the game to officially start.

(Jamie, position!)

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

Rose yawned, glancing at the alarm clock. Smiling, she turned it off and stood up, streaching. Game day. Huffies vr. Slytherin. That was always a fun match.

Rose got dressed slowly, brushed her teeth, and made her bed. Hopefully the rest of the team was up and going. With one last glance over the room, Rose closed the door and ran down to the lockers.

Some of her teammates where all ready down on the pitch, chating and warming up. Rose grabbed her broom, put on her robe and gloves, then flew over to Skie, Dani, Dragon, and Jamie.

"Hey team! Are we all ready for the match?" Looking up, Rose noticted how ugly the weather was today. "Rats", she said, frowning. "We don't want bad weather, do we?"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

"ROSE!" Skie flew over to Rose and smiled ear to ear, her whole face lighting up with excitement. "This is going to be the best match ever!" Skie yelled for the world to hear, as she practically bounced up and down on her broom. Seeing Rose's 'are-you-high-and-if-so-on-what?' look, Skie just grinned and mouthed, Caffeine while cackling maniacally. Throwing her hands up into the air, Skie stared at the sky wondrously and began to contemplate the match if it were to rain cats and dogs in buckets from the grey skies. Doing a quick spin on her broom to pass the time, Skie waited wide- eyed and keyed up by caffeine for the quaffle to be thrown into play. "I say high, you say low. You say why and I say I don't know, oh no! You say goodbye, and I say hello." Skie hummed and half sang the lyrics to the popular Beatles song that was stuck in her head softly as she waited anxiously for the game to begin.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Blank.

That pretty much described the state Gemma was in during this particular night, and also in this particular morning. She didn't see anything, neither did she hear anything, she was remarkably far from saying anything and - what was most important - she did not think about anything and even less felt anything. She was, as said, in a state of total nothing. She wasn't aware of the fact that after her dormmate had left for her detention she had never come back and that she therefore was in the dorm all on her own. She had no idea that she had been alone there all night, tossing and turning but never once waking up or even making a sound. Her consciousness was altogether non-existent, and her subconscious was experiencing a hard time as it struggled for her awareness - without success.

She was absolutely and completely oblivious to the squeaking noise resounding somewhere outside of the dorm, to the noisy entrance of a person into that certain dorm, to the door being slammed shut, to the mumbling of the person that was now roaming through the dorm. Unfortunately, Gemma was also just as oblivious to a peculiar shaking of her bed and a rush of screaming by Kaylee. All the sound did was penetrate her subconscious and have it make her turn around once more.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the blank resolved suddenly, leaving a refreshed, well rested girl to awake rather suddenly on her bed. For once Gemma woke up in peace as she had slept in peace, knowing very well where she was and hat had happened previously to her being asleep. She smiled to herself, eyes stll closed, as she figured that her sleeping draught had served its purpose perfectly well. She had known all along that this was what she needed, especially on days such as this, when being bright and alert was called for.

Bright and alert, that is actually quite close to how I feel! I don't think I've slept that well during any other of the last nights. Seems as if Sleeping Draught and me might become very very good friends, at least if it keeps making me feel this way. It certainly saved the day for me, I couldn't have been drowsy and confused again. Though, err, I wonder why I can't?!

Blank.

This time it wasn't blank all around, but that was the way her mind was working regarding the question of why today it was important to have had a good rest. She tried her best to come up with it, but she just couldn't recall what was special about today. Sighing, Gemma figured that she should probably come to terms with the fact that she seemed to need a wit-sharpening potion at hand 24/7. Then again, sugar might do the job just as well, and Kay probably had some sugar somewhere that hadn't died a terrible death yet. So opening her eyes, getting up and waking up her wifey sounded like a plan to her, and she proceeded on with it right away. Only there wasn't a wifey around! Now she was absolutely positive that wit-sharpening potion was the least she needed, if not something way stronger.

Okay, I need to get this sorted out. Cat's gone. I think it's a weekend today, so that would mean- ah, the next weekend visit somewhere. Possibly her parents' again. But where the heck is that crazy Banana? It seems impossible she'd be up and living earlier than me, she only ever wakes up earlier than me if we set up a special alarm for Quid-

Gemma didn't even bother to end her thought, instead she hit her forehead in annoyance and ran over to the closet to pick out whatever clothes in the house colours. Once she was dressed and had grabbed a hold of a good amount of sugary stuff laying strawn across the room she was ready to go, no, ready to run, so she did. She didn't even bother peeking into the Great Hall, she didn't have time for breakfast if she wanted to be on time just for once- or did she even stand a chance to be on time right now? She didn't know and it was not like she'd stop now to mull over that question until she could be sure that she was late or something the like. Instead she just raced out of the castle, bursting open the heavy doors with all her strength deriving from the unexpectedly exhilarant night, and continued on her way towards the Quidditch pitch. She wondered whether it'd be a good move to fix her hair on her way already, but remembering how she had wrecked herself the last time she had made her way to a match she postponed that until after she was dressed properly.

After a surprisingly short time of running, she entered the Slytherin locker rooms, went right over to her very own locker and got all the equipment out of it. Once she had adjusted every piece of it to where it belonged, she put her hair into her usual messy bun and double-checked she had her broom with her this time before she stepped out onto the pitch. For the first time in the morning, she looked up at the sky and grimaced at what she saw. The gray, cloudy sky was far from desirable weather for a match, and she hoped that she would not get caught up in rain throughout the game. She made a rude gesture at the gloomy sky and turned her attention to the players she could already see up in the air.

One, two...three..........four..........................FIVE HUFFIES?!?! Please somebody tell me I'm dreaming here, what's going on with them today? Why are they here at all? This cannot be happening. I mean, come on, it's what? Two Slytherins, three including me now, that's got to be a cruel joke my overslept mind is playing on me! Where the hell is my team? I'm used to me being late, but where's the rest of them?

Saying Gemma was not amused about the current situation on the pitch would definitely have been putting it nicely, but as she gazed around and found that the balls hadn't been released yet she cooled down a little. It was too early into the day to get worked up, she'd probably have enough of that during the game. Now was a time to say hi to her teammates, get her own motivation up and warm up for the match as long as she could. Shivering slightly, she mounted her broom and kicked off the ground slowly, reluctant to be greeted by a too extreme rush of cold air. Using one hand, she hugged her light robes closer to her and grumbled at the weather conditions once more while she flew up and over to where she had spotted Bella and Banana. And no matter how grumpy her mood, when she got a good look at her wifey, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She was covered in serious dirt all over, it was ridiculous! Even her face was rather brownish from dust or whatever it was, and a mischievous smirk found its way onto Gemma's face.

Fiddling inside her robes, she approached the two girls from behind them as quietly as she could, hoping with all her heart that she wouldn't be spotted early on. As she was close enough, she drew out her wand, flew a sharp curve so she was hovering in front of Kay, and conjured up a fountain of water with the Aguamenti charm. She directed it at the face of her wifey and let it drift slightly downwards so her body was cleaned as well, but her aim was lousy as she shook with laughter. Seeing the soaked form of her and the expression on her face being serious would have been way too hard! Feeling generous however, Gemma lowered her wand after a longish moment and suppressed the giggles to smile innocently.

"Hey, I thought you looked rather unfit for a match where you're representing our house, so I guessed you'd be thankful for a quick cleaning up! And good morning to the both of you. Isn't it an interesting day to play Quidditch? I must say I'm quite surprised to see as many Huffs have come here, though. It might actually be a challenging match, at least referring to the number of players on their part and on our part. Do you think we could all pull off a move together, some Chaser and Beater combining their skills kind of thing? After all the bagder Keeper at least doesn't seem to be here yet...given that the lost figure over there who seems to serve no purpose isn't their excuse of a Keeper. He looks as if he's forgotten what position he's playing at all!"

Torn between giggling again, keeping on smiling innocently or smirking to emphasize her point about the confused opponent, Gemma shifted her face into something that probably looked quite dumb before she leant forward, flew right through the middle of their green and silver gathering and turned sharply to encircle her teammates. She felt they were going to need action and skills and all the good stuff just for once in the game, so getting her body and mind right into the matters of Quidditch seemed fairly appropriate. Winking as she was in front of her friends, she came to an abrupt halt and dived down below them, only the come up right behind them. Or at least that was the plan, but she had done some wrong estimating and almost knocked her head into her wifey's butt as she came up way too early. Going slightly to the side, she managed to shoot up in between her and Bella instead and grinned as she stopped there and looked to her left and right.

"You think this could be stuff with which we could confuse them badgers if we want to score, or take the Quaffle from them - if they even get their hands on it at all - or anything the like?"

Happy, but feeling slightly put off by her body's response to all the sudden movements, she settled with staying where she was for a moment and giving her teammates a chance to even aswer her question at all. She scanned the stands in which some people had gathered to cheer for the respective teams, though she kept an eye on the Banana all the time, being fully aware for once that she might very well come up with a plan for revenge. Then she saw the bunch of pixie stix wrappers she had stuffed into on of her robe's pockets and smiled, guessing that with all that sugar she had already consumed she might probably even haven't cared at all about the 'attack'. At the thought of edible stuff, she noticed her stomach rumbling and dug through her pockets, coming up with a handful of stix of her own, ripping them open simultaneously and drowning their contents right through her throat and into the impatiently rumbling beast.

Now she had to wait for the sugar to kick in, or for the others to answer, for the balls to be released or for anything, basically, for anything to happen, and while she did so she browsed through her mental media library, hoping to stumble upon a good song to tune in to. The songs she had saved right inside her psych mind were a mess, and she decided to simply shuffle through them randomly rather than searching for any specific song. She skimmed over a rush of German music, which was either too aggressive or to depressive, determinedly skipped some real rubbish she had somewhere in her music thoughts, and went for a classic to accompany her through the match, or at least make the wait feel shorter. The carbohydrates kicked in at the same time that the song started 'playing', and so she found herself bouncing up and down, grinning like a lunatic, on her broom, singing along with the lyrics of her beloved Lemon Tree song. She knew they were not too optimistic, but the melody and all just hyped her up and she decided to not give a damn about what others would think of her. After all, she was an awesome Slytherin and could do whatever she want to, and if anybody thought differently she would easily kick their butts with her ultimate Muffin martial arts moves, oh yes...

(Slytherin Keeper)

Violet heard something bumping in the dorm next door. “Hey, some people need sleep for big games dorks!” She yelled. Today was not her day. Pulling the covers off her, she looked at the clock. “Wow, I’m not late today, shocker.” She said and started pulling her Quidditch clothes on. After she finish tying her shoes, she grabbed a ponytail and her broom. “Stupid dorks banging on the walls and running around.” She mumbled. “Get out off my way!” She yelled to a first year, who was trying to do his homework and was across the room. Yawning, she open the common room door and walked out.

“Do I want food or not?” She asked herself and decided no. Walking pass the Great Hall, she stepped outside. “It’s not sunny today.” She pouted and walked to the field. She looked around to see if her friends were out there. Violet smiled when she saw Dani and Jamie. “Hey Jamie.” She said, sitting on the ground be him. “Good luck today.” Violet told him, stretching back on the ground. “I hope the sun comes out.” She said more to herself. “Good luck, Dani!” Violet yelled to her. Violet closed her eyes and started humming a song. After about five minutes and turned to Jamie, “It’s weird how me and you can be friends and no one from other houses can.” She said. “I hope my mommy, Stephy roots for me.” She mumbled and sat up. “If we beat you, don’t cry much, ok.” Violet said and picked her firebolt up from the ground.

“I found a snitch in the common room.” She said, pulling it from her pocket. “I’m keeping it. It’s cool.” She said and let it go and catching it again. “You playing Keeper again?” She asked him, getting up. “The game should start soon.” She mumbled, looking at her watch. “I’m bored, so I really hope they hurry up.” She mumbled again. “Dani, who long have you been out here?” She asked her.

(Referee)

Amy flew onto the pitch, the whistle around her neck and the crate of balls under her arm.

She released the bludgers and the snitch, and then tossed the Quaffle into the air.

"Let the game begin!"

(Slytherin Beater)

Bella looked towards the ground with a sigh of relief. Kaylee had arrive, so while they were outnumbered at least Bella was no longer alone. As Kaylee reached playing height, Bella looked at her with confusion. The chaser was caked in dirt and grime. Bella heard Kay say somthing about thinking she was late so she didnt have time for a shower. Bella shook her head. Nomatter how late she was, Bella would never leave the bathroom with THAT much dirt on her.

Bella gave a small jump of suprise when Gemma showed up unexpectadly, soaking Kay in water. Bella supressed a small laugh. She had to admit, wet and probably freezing was better than having all that dirt on her. Bella nodded in agreement with Gemma. It was an interesting day and she too was suprised by the amount of hufflepuffs on the field.

Bella notice Violet arrive on the pitch, smiling Bella waved hello to her rat, who seemed to be socialising with the enemy. Tut tut. It was that moment that Amy also arrived on the pitch to release the balls. Smiling, Bella darted forward while the Bludgers were still in sight. She quickly smashed the hard black ball into the group of unsuspecting Hufflepuffs, hoping to confuse them and give Kay or Gemma a better chance of snatching the Quaffle first.

Bella came to a halt in midair. Watching the progress of her bludger but also waiting for her team mates to grab the quaffle. Bella waited in mid air, if any of the Hufflepuffs attempted to get the Quaffle first... Well, Bludgers werent the only thing her bat could be used to hit.

[Slytherin Chaser]

When Gemma squirted her with water she couldn't help but just smile and shake her head, after all if the situation had been the other way around she probably would have done the same thing. Either way she was just happy to have her Muffin and fellow chaser out on the field with her, even if they were out numbered having her and Bella there made things seem a little less horrid.

Still smiling she watched as Violet walked out onto the pitch and started consorting with the enemy, "I could swear sometimes that, that girl was sorted into the wrong house. Maybe we could trade her for one of the meaner huffies, or even Pamela - she would make a good Slytherin." Kaylee mumbled out loud, not really talking to anyone in particular. After all she really didn't see any of the Huffies as enemies, or even bad people, it's just that on game day the lines were drawn and you didn't cross them, not even for a second.

After all if you give them an inch because you are friends, they will stomp on you and take a mile. Friends or not, this is still a competition and you wont see me letting my guard down just because I'm friendly with someone on the other side. We are Slytherins after all, it's all about self preservation and of course us coming out on top, and when it comes to winning, you don't mix feelings in with it.

While Kaylee got lost for a moment inside of her own head she watched Amy walk out onto the field. Biting her lip to stop from yelling out in excitement she took off like there was no tomorrow to it when the quaffle was released. Out of the corner of her eye Kay barely caught sight of Bella sending a bludger towards the still preoccupied huffies. Smirking evilly Kay reached out and scooped up the quaffle as soon as it was within arms reach.

Still smirking she pulled it in close and flew quickly back over to her partner in crime and hubby Muffin. "So what kind of tricks should we pull today? After all I think you and I will need to be rather cunning and keep control of the quaffle. Since it's starting to look as tho Violet is forgetting where her true allegiances lie." Shaking her head back and forth at the last part Kay handed Gemma the ball.

Once she was sure that Gemma had it she let go of it and said quietly, "This time it will be your move, what do you think we should do?" As she waited for a response she started jerking her broom from side to side. After all with all the sugar coursing through her veins it was hard to stay in one position for to long.

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

The pitch was getting fuller and fuller as the day went on. Skie grinned, maniacal laughter bubbling beneath her calm exterior, as the game really got started and the Slytherins started having a go at her teammate, not a good idea. ‘Jamie’s looking a little lost, but that’s totally excusable because this is only his second match,’ Skie thought, defending her teammate mentally.

‘Of course, it’s besides the fact that you shouldn’t have heard what the Slytherin’s were saying because you were um… What’s the word eaves- dropping, is it?’ The nasty little voice inside her head was coming into play, and Skie was trying to ignore it as much as she could, but it just kept going. ‘Curiosity killed the cat, you know!’

The voice tried one more time, but Skie just stuck out her tongue, mentally, and whispered out loud the part of the rhyme that everyone seemed to forget, “But satisfaction brought him back.” Sighing about stupid voices that thought that they knew everything, Skie suddenly noticed something important. The game had officially started.

Skie lips tightened grimly when she dove for the quaffle as it was thrown into play. Feeling her robes sweep out behind her and her hair be tugged by the blowing wind, Skie realized that the Slytherin chasers were in possession of the quaffle.

“Oh no you don’t,” said Skie as she urged Timothy down below the quaffle. Deciding that it was better to safely steal the quaffle from the opposing team, Skie opted for a clean snatch from the hands of the Slytherin chaser.

“I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love. Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love. You cut me open!” Skie dementedly half screamed the lyrics to Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis, the second song of the day to get stuck in her day dreaming mind. Only this time, she was singing upside down on a broomstick.

Feeling the blood rush to her head in waves of dizzy- making swarms of gooey red stuff, Skie righted herself and gave a breathless laugh. “I’m comin’ for yah,” Skie muttered between clenched teeth as she zoomed down on the Slythie chaser. One eye out for bludgers and beaters alike, Skie smiled grimly and went after Kaylee ready to steal the beloved quaffle back

(hufflepuff beater)

Jamie flew up into the sky on his broom, he got used to
having the beaters bat in his hand.. steading himself.
"he looked around and thought that the match wasn't going to be easy...
"sugar lumps, why did i ever agree to do this?"
then he thought of the after party if they won this match....
"humph... i wouldn't mind the glory!"
Jamie circled the pitch for a while, holding onto the wieght of the bat,
"geezz these are heavier than they look."
he saw a bludger flying its way towards him... he swung his bat in the direction of the other slytherin beater....
"better try and kill the opponent first!" he laughed innocently..
he nodded over in the direction of Violet
"hey, it seems the sun has come up!"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Skie looked over her shoulder as she planned to dive- bomb the Slythie chaser and saw Jamie aim a bludger at the Slytherin beater and smiled. "Well that takes them out of the game," Skie said grinning broadly. Appeasing her conscience though, Skie hoped that they wouldn't get too injured either. Pushing her thoughts back to the task at hand, Skie gripped Timothy's knobbly wood a little tighter and pressed herself to the broomstick, trying to coax even an ounce more speed out of her beloved broom.

"C'mon Timothy, c'mon..." Skie whispered to herself as she felt the wind whip behind her lashing back and forth over her robes. Pulling up suddenly, Skie found herself neck and neck with the Slytherin chaser. Laughing in a manner that wouldn't have been out of place in a horror film, Skie rolled behind the chaser's broom and onto her other side. Clutching her broom tightly in one hand, Skie decided that the Budger Bumper would suffice for stealing the qauffle.

"Gotcha," Skie called as she began the move. Barrel rolling around the other chaser, Skie hoped that it would be enough to unnerve her. As she spun dizzily around the chaser, Skie moved to part two of the Badger Bumper: The Fake Out. Backing out a little from the bubble that she and the other chaser had been so happily occupying, Skie dove in trying to look as if she was attempting to crash into the other chaser. Spinning up into a spiral at the last second, Skie went in for her second fake- out confident that she would get the quaffle. Reaching down at the last second, Skie punched the qauffle out of the Slytherin chaser's arms and popped it ever- so gently into her own. Hufflepuff in possession!

[[I don't know who you are doing your 'moves' to or who you are stealing the quaffle from - since you didn't put a name or anything, and I'm sure your putting the move on me, and I don't have the quaffle, I already passed it over, to Gemma whom I am stopped and hovering next too, which you also left out of your post - hence I'm just going to ignore the last post and continue with the game]]

[Slytherin Chaser]

Still waiting for a response from Gemma Kaylee continued to hover right next to her hubby waiting eagerly for a plan of action. Thinking hard seeing if anything popped into her mind she heard and felt her stomach give a loud rumble. Giggling softly, as she was sure Muffin must have heard that she pulled a snickers candy bar from her pocket, pulled off the wrapper and proceeded to shove half of it in her mouth and take a bite.

Humming the tune of a new song she heard called Summertime as she chewed she looked around at the weather and wished the song would bring out the happy weather that she adored so. But before she could get too upset over the horrid weather she shoved the other half of her candy bar in her mouth and thought of saying something to Muffin but decided she should probably wait until she didn't have a mouthful first.

As she was chewing down and processing the last of her candy bar she looked over at the opposing teams beater to see him hitting a bludger straight towards Bella. Without even giving it a moment Kay yelled out, "Bella watch out, bludger heading your way!!!" Not wanting to watch but also not wanting to look away she watched Bella and hoped she had yelled in time.

I really hope she moves out of the way, or better yet sends that bludger straight back at the opposing beater. Maybe if she knocked him out it might even up the field slightly.

Still focusing on the possible horrid scene in front of her Kay finally spoke up to Muffin, "So anything good coming to mind. If Bella doesn't get knocked out by this bludger we could possibly pull off a move like the one you were talking about earlier. Something involving the two of us and Bella if I remember correctly." While she still focused on Bella Kay kept her ears and eye's open to everything that was happening around her, as she waited patiently for Gemma to respond.

[Whoops, sorry. I thought I mentioned who I was stealing the from quaffle from in my first post. Sorry again!]

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Skie looked over at the Slytherin chasers who were sitting still wondered who was in possession of the quaffle. Looking over and squinting to see what in the world was going on, Skie saw Gemma holding the quaffle and Kaylee moving her lips... which meant that they were coming up with a plan.

"Merlin's pants." Skie muttered darkly, her thoughts racing randomly trying to figure out what in the world was going to happen. As of now, both chasers were sitting on their brooms and not doing anything, but Skie couldn't be sure what was going to happen next. Looking over her shoulder, Skie saw the bludger that Jamie sent hurtling towards the Slytherin beater that was on the field and smiled.

"Well... I hope she won't get too hurt..." Skie said in a quiet voice, not really thinking about anything. Her conscience was easily appeased though and shut up quickly. There was really no place that Skie would rather be right now than on the pitch.

"Hey Rose!" Skie said as loudly as she dared for fear of anyone overhearing the conversation. "Got any ideas on how to get the quaffle?" Skie said to her friend, thinking as hard as she could and racking her brains for anything that might even be a little helpful

(Huffie Chaser and Captain)

Rose shook her head and glanced around. Oh no! The game had started! She hit her head, trying to remember what was the last thing she remembered.

"Lets see....I came out onto the pitch (Rose pointed to the entry way and traced her steps along the ground) and walked around a bit. The I got on me broom and flew over to my teammates (she then made squiggles in the air around her and pointed her finger at her nose) and stopped right here. Yeah. So, um.....oh! Skie was telling me she was all full of caffine and stuff (now Rose began to act looopy) so I flew over to the standsi and tossed a bunch of yellow and black striped shirts into the crowd. After that...."

Rose sighed and desided that she had dosed off. That seemed a bit odd to her, seeing that she never was the kind of person to do so. Staying in her spot, she tracked down Skie and shouted, "Yo! Whats going on?"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

"Wow Rose... Um... Did you, oh I dunno, drink some serious euphoria potion this morning?" Skie was staring open mouthed at her best friend who had just been pointing and drawing squiggles in the air. "You almost never day dream during a match! That's my job..." Skie smiled though, glad that her friend was back and ready to get into the game.

"Okay, here's the gist. KayleeGotTheQuaffleThenGaveItToGemmaAndIsTalkingToHerAndMeThinksThey'veGotAStrategy." Skie spoke absurdly quickly, her sentences morphing into one long many lettered word. Glancing over at Rose who's look clearly said 'um what?', Skie took a deep breath and began to articulate carefully. "Kaylee got the qauffle, and then she gave it to Gemma, and now they're talking, and I think that they have a plan to score." Skie took a deep breath, feeling much better now that the word puke went away and she could speak clearly again.

"So, what are we gonna do about it?" Skie said looking at Rose.

[Slytherin Seeker and Captain]

Cat hadn’t been to a few games recently due to essays pilling up and that iron deficiency she has been dealing with, but this game she was going to try her best to do something - even if she felt brain dead-. She quickly scribbled a few more sentences on her essay on flying charms and began to get ready for the game. She put on her robes, pulled her hair back, and grabbed her broom before running off to the quidditch pitch.

When she arrived she hopped on her broom and rose into the air. Her eyes scanned the field. Gemma had the Quaffle and a bludger was headed towards Bella. She also noticed the Hufflepuff team’s seeker, Dani, was already on the pitch. That meant she had to start looking for the snitch ASAP. Her eyes continued to scan the field for the tiny golden ball.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Having gone totally lost in the depths of her mental media library Gemma was once again oblivious to things around here. A lack of awareness seemed to be the dominant state to be in for her lately, as opposed to previous episodes of dosing off or going into somewhat of a trance. Instead she now found herself deeply engaged in coming up with a soundtrack to the recent Quidditch match rather than bothering to participate in said match. After all it hadn't actually started, so she was free to do as she found appropriate, and bettering her mood by ignoring the weather and enjoying nice tunes seemed like the perfect thing to do. Settling for a song for the moment she turned around to her Banana wifey in order to ask her something.

"Umm, Banana, you got any idea about a song we could use on the soundtrack for this match? Because I think having soundtracks for matches would be fun, and we could remember all the little moments of the matches easier later on. What do you think? For the moment, I'd suggest 'Something's Badgering Me'. 'Rodent Riot' would be fun as well, not exactly ifitting but somehow it seems to remind me of this game. Sounds good?"

She giggled as she talked to her wifey since her face showed utter confusion, as if she was missing out on a huge piece of information. Of course, with the two of them, this happened every other moment, so Gemma decided to fill her in on the secret of the mental media library. Then she noticed something. The questioning expression fixed on the other's face did, for once, not indicate personal cluelessness, but rather the fact that she, Gemma, was missing out on vital information herself. Information that might just have been related to the shiny red ball she held in her very own hands.

"Oh my God, Quaaaaaffle!! How did this get here? Wohooo, I gots the Quaffle!! Why didn't you bother to tell me?!?! Oooh, Quaffle, Quaffle, Quaffle, this game is finally beginning, thank you my Quidditch Gods! Okay, so what do you think we should do now? How about we pull off a super awesome uber move like we normally do?"

Waiting for a reaction, she took a good close looks on her surroundings, wondering whether or not the others would have noticed the start of the game. Unfortunately, most seemed to have indeed taken notice of the beginning, which lead to her being the dumb one that didn't. What a surprisingly familiar situation! Observing a gathering of two of the Huffies, she guessed that they were up to something, since they kept sneaking glances at her and her Banana. Oh, they wouldn't dare!

No no no, you darn lithe wannabe sneaky creatures, nobody'll ever manage to steal a Quaffle from a witty Slytherin Chaser, what are you even thinking? This is ludicrous, you do not stand a chance, girlies! Woah, I wish I could scream that at you, but yeah, calm down, Gemma, this is about playing fair, so do it, for Salazar's sake! Grrrrrr.

She was about to turn back to her wifey and start coming up with a sly and deceiving plan on how to score when a sudden appearance made her clutch her broom in shock. She looked once, looked away, looked again, looked away once more and looked back a third time. There wasn't a doubt about it, the person who had just entered the pitch and mounted their broom was their awesomish seeker and great captain, Cat aka Kitty aka Nut aka her second wifey!! She had to use every ounce of self-control to not fly right over to her and tacklehuggle the two of them down onto the ground in a painful process, in lieu thereof she got her mind working to solve a complicated problem.

Okay, if my little Nut is here rather than wherever I suspected her to be, why did I suspect her to be somewhere else in the first place? I could have sworn she was gone to visit, well, somebody, but if she was, she couldn't be here, could she?

At this point, she shook her head slightly, trying to come up with any way her wifey could be elsewhere and there at the same time. She was however not perfectly sure that there was a legal way to sort this out...so she just kept wondering.

I mean, you never know for sure with magic and all those good things, but I am quite sure that there is only one Cat around here that is playing seeker for the Slytherin Quidditch team which she is also the captain of. That's got to mean she's never been gone all the weekend, alright. But then where was she? And why didn't I notice? I must really stop being mentally on vacation, this is horribly embarassing!

Trying to act as if she had known all along that Cat was eventually going to come to the pitch for the match, Gemma waved at her and mouthed a happy hello, hoping she wouldn't distract a concentrated seeker. Finally she turned to her Banana wifey again as she had intended to do before her confusion had interrupted her and was determined to ask her about a plan to score as if nothing had happened. However she figured that seeing as she had witnessed possible eavesdroppers, something had indeed happened, and so she went for the first thing coming to her mind that seemed alright as an emergency plan.

"Okay, Kay, wie machen wir's am besten? Wir müssen scoren, ohne dass die anderen Chasers da drüben es merken. Irgend'ne Idee?"

She hoped with all her heart that the frequent sessions of practicing weird speaking in the Slytherin Common Room had helped enough to enable them to have this conversation without the Huffies understanding a word. Keeping her fingers crossed, she stared at Banana questioningly. Would she get what she was supposed to get? Or would she understand some gibberish, or something stupid like 'I think Slytherins are dumb and should be restricted from playing Quidditch'? Cause that was certainly not what she had been saying, or at least she hoped dearly that it wasn't...

(Huffie Chaser and Captain)

"Ah, ok." Rose struggled to understand her friends fast talk at first, but then when Skie carefully and slowly explained, she got the gest of thigs.

"Clumsy me", Rose said, frowning. "Can't belive I spaced." She began running her mind threw, thinking of the best plan. "Well, since Kate couldn't make it this game, due to failing a class or whatever, we have no Keeper."

That's when it hit her. "Oh my God! We have no Keeper!" Panicing, Rose began to make little circles in the air around Skie. "Oh, how did I forget to get a temporary? A fill in? What the flip was I thinking! We have no Keeper reserve!"

Rose finally calmed herself, with the help of Skie telling her if they sat there panicing, the Slytherin's where gonna score. "Ok, plan. Whatever happens, we can't let them get that Quaffle close to the goal posts. We are gonna have to work extra hard, to fill in for our missing teammate."

(Slytherin Keeper)

Violet’s head snapped in Kaylee’s direction at her comment. Violet rolled her eyes and thought, ‘They are so….racist like.’ Violet was about to sit back down, when Amy ran onto the field. Violet mounted her broom and kicked off at the sound of the whistle. She flew up to her position and looked out to see who had the quaffle. “Come on, the huffie’s cant get it, they are not that smart.” Violet mumbled to herself and saw Kaylee had it. “Better then nothing.” She mumbled and sat back to watch them. “Oh, so Jamie is beater today, eh?” She asked herself, noticing him hit a bludger.

Violet huffed and leaned back once more and watched the game in process. She was mostly paying attention to the Huffie’s and the way they moved, give her a fair advantage. Violet noticed Kay threw it to Gemma and Gemma looked like she was freaking out. Violet’s eyes snapped to the ground and she saw Cat running out there. “Oh my, she is playing a game now.” Violet mumbled and watched the Huffie’s again. She noticed they were barely doing anything and she looked across the field to see who their keeper was.

“What? They don’t have a keeper!” Violet yelled. “Well then, this will only make me more nerverous then before.” Violet mumbled. Violet got bored and leaned back again. Her firebolt made a humming noise and Violet got worried. “You ain’t breaking down on me yet are you!” Violet yelled, heads turning in the stand to look at her. Violet tried to ignore it and after a while, she tuned it out. Violet looked out at the rest of the team and saw Ziggy, Grinning evilly she yelled out. “RAT OH MY GOD!!!!” Violet laughed at herself and waited for the response from Rat.

(Slytherin Beater)

Bella's head snapped up in a response to the many shouts from her team mates that seemed to be directed at her. In her extensive search for a bludger, Bella had extraordinarily failed to notice one coming straight at her, curtosy of Jamie. Thankfull that she had noticed it in time, Bella shook her head.

'Why in the world is he sending a bludger to me??? Is he trying to help me out or somthing???' Bella thought, toataly at loss as to the objective of the Hufflepuff beater, 'Hang on, you've got to be joking. Does he think that I would actually be unseated by a Bludger??? Ummm, has he not noticed the heavy bat I carry??? It isnt just a fashoin statement!'

Still chuckling dryly at the foolishness of the Hufflepuffs, Bella swung her bat hard. The earsplitting crack told her that the bat had made contact with the Bludger. Bella smiled as she watched the Bludger zoom towards the unsuspecting Hufflepuff chasers. They seemed to be plotting.

Bella then glanced over at her dear rat, a.k.a. Violet and blew her rat a kiss in thanks for the bludger warning. Still giggling Bella looked at Gemma and Kay who still were statioed in mid-air with the quaffle.

'Why dont they put it through the hoops already? The keeper hasnt shown up...' Bella thought, wondering what they were waiting for.

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Skie looked over at Gemma and Kaylee who looked and sounded as if.... GERMAN! Skie suddenly realized that Gemma was speaking in German! Grinning broadly, Skie whispered over Rose's shoulder as low as her voice would allow, "Gemma's saying: How can we do this best? We must score without the other chaser's noticing. And I can't figure out what the last part of the sentence is saying." Skie cursed foully under her breath for not being able to translate Gemma's last phrase.

Grrrrrrrr... You should totally know this... Skie thought to herself angrily. Obviously you need practice. Back to class for you! Nooooooo, not German class again! Please! Skie's mental quarrel left her looking white and draw around her eyes. She really, really, really didn't want to go back to German class.

"ARGH! Rose, we need a plan and fast!" Skie yelped loudly, then looked around, scared that anyone heard her. "Rose, the Slytherin chasers are in possession, we have no freakin' keeper, and I've forgotten most of the German that I learned from that crash course that I took last summer!" Skie was literally flipping on her broom as she made a list of all the bad things that were happening to Hufflepuff in the game. "We've got to DO something Rose!" Skie was a ball of angry energy and vibes as she looked at Rose, bouncing and flipping on her broom.

{HUfflepuff Seeker}

::Dani saw Cat and her evil smile returned, she spun around on her broom and headed for the slytherin seeker. Her eyes were glancing around for the snitch, but they found nothing. Closing in on Cat, Dani slowed her hurried pace.

"Cat," She said sneering. "Looks like you finally made it to a game, its about time."

(Huffie Chaser and Captain)

Rose watched as the sly Slytherin's calmly made there way to the Hufflepuff goals. Without a Keeper, Huffies where in trouble. Due to there previous reserve Keeper making the remaining position of offical Beater for the rest of the term, there was no way for Rose to call him forward from the deep of her heart in hopes that there Keeper would magicly come furth and save the day. Alas, that was all a fariey tall in which Rose knew she did not belive. The real fact was she had messed up, and it showed bad, expecially thi game.

Rose could feel the 'love' vibes comming from the Slytherins around her. She glanced over to check the pitch, to see where everone was. Violet, Slytherins Keeper, seemed in a nice, cocky mood, relaxing on her broom. The beather, um....what was her name? Bella? Well, she was ocupied with the devil-of-a-ball. And of course, Dani and Cat where going at it, Rose smiled knowing how good Dani was at the whole Seeker buisness. Rose had done that job herself, just last year. And blimey! That Snitch could give you a run-for-the-money.

Sighing, Rose rubbed her temples and tapped Skie on the arm. "Ok, so I've got a plan. This is gonna sound kind of strange, I know." Rose was certinly happy her friend could speak partly German, for now they know that Slytherin really didn't think Huffies where capable, or smart. Whatever. It didn't bother Rose. "Fallow me" , the chaser said, already flying along smoothly after the opposing ball snatchers. When she was sure Skie was ready for the plan, and they where close enough to the Slytherins, Rose muttered in her ear. "Skie, how bout we try the Badger Drop. I know, it's strange," Rose said, noticing Skie's reaction. "But listen. Me up above, you below, ready to catch the ball. It will work, don't you think?'

[Slytherin Chaser]

When Kay noticed Nut walking out onto the field she was very much confused.

I thought she was gone again for the weekend and we wouldn’t be seeing her this match. Maybe as usual I’m just confused and not thinking clearly, maybe it was just last match she was supposed to be absent and not this one. Oh well either way I’m happy she’s here, now our banana nut muffin is complete.

As she thought about Nut she couldn’t help but smile at the fact that this was the first match they’d all played together in a while. But she couldn’t help but frown slightly when she remembered how sick her Nut had been for the past couple of weeks. Shaking off the bad thoughts she just smiled and waved at Nut hoping to not distract her to much from her goal of finding the snitch.

At first when Gemma started speaking to her Kay just turned her head to the side and looked at her like she had grown another head. After all she was slightly distracted with the appearance of Nut on the field. Watching her speak she could tell that she was saying something, the only problem was that Kay couldn’t seem to understand what exactly it was that she was saying.

She must be talking in your secret language you nit-wit, remember the one she started to teach you before. Wake up and pay attention.

Shaking her head back and forth Kay stopped looking at Muffin for a moment and replayed what she had just said inside of her head. After a couple of minutes of deliberating she finally decoded it all. Not wanting to be a complete moron for the rest of their conversation Banana pulled out her wand and casted a spell on herself so that she could speak and understand Muffin without an issue.

Giggling slightly to herself she smiled a wide silly smile at Muffin before she started to speak her own silly, and slightly screwed up version of the language her hubby had been teaching her. After all the spell only made her be able to say what she knew, not completely pull an entire language out of nowhere, after all if she could do that then why would she ever need to learn anything.

Putting her finger to her chin she started to speak and hoped that her hubby would be able to understand her use of code words, as their were some words she didn’t know the translations for. “Also, ich glaub' wir sollten uns trennen, schlaf du da drüben und ich hier. Die sind nur fähig, einem von uns nachzukommen, und bevor wir loslegen nehm' ich den Werner, die checken eh nix, darum kommen sie dir hinterher und nicht mir. Wiedersehen dann bei den Ringen, ich schick' dir den Werner rüber und lass' mich dann fallen als würd' mir alles außer Kontrolle geraten, du punktest dann zack-zack.”

After she finished speaking she smiled happily at her team mate, after all even if they could figure out what she was saying, it would probably be to late for them to do anything to stop it anyways. Since Muffin and Banana tended to work quickly and diligently, most people had a hard time keeping up with them.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Gemma suppressed a chuckle as she saw the look on Banana's face. Obviously she took some time to adjust her mind to the fact that this was not English she had just heard. The lost face on her face suggested this, and Gemma wondered for a moment if she should help her out. However she decided against this as she figured that the two Huffies behind them where already understanding something in this conversation, judging by the content and just too happy faces they made. This was no good!

Okay, help her and make it all quicker or let her figure it out for herself and hope to keep the least bit of safety with those eavesdropping buggers? I guess that I could give my wifey a hint somehow, but then again she is probably intelligent enough to understand in a moment. Or isn't she?

Luckily any doubt was cleared up by the look of slight understanding crossing Banana's face, yet it still mainly spoke of concentration and lots of painful thinking. It took her some minutes to do what seemed to be the wise thing. Gemma heard her mutter a few words and she gladly recognized the foreign language spell they had looked up some time ago during their studies. This was the perfect emergency plan!

Finally she received an answer, and one she was completely happy with. She acted according to it, flying over to her wifey and hugging her tightly. She did, after all, have the most awesomest wifey [well, besides Nut], so what was wrong with coming up with a plan that involved a little good luck-hug? She found it perfectly allright and thus only got back to her position once she felt she had requested enough luck for the two of them. Now the un would start. Foreign Confusion Fun, that was, since this was the name to the move they were about to pull off. It was time to work their wonders of swiftness and efficiency, and she was planning to put on a good show.

Grinning, she yelled "Suvvia!" at her friend and took off, pressing down onto her broom to avoid any possible Bludgers as well as to gain maximum speed. This was not only about fun, after all, there was a goal to be scored! She enjoyed the rush of wind against her face as she always did, even though she had a feeling that sun raindrops might start blotting her vision. It didn't matter, it was then and there that she was playing and she was going to be good at what she did!

[Slytherin Chaser]

As she finished speaking she saw the look of understanding cross Muffins face, she’d obviously understood exactly what she meant, even with the code words added in. Smiling now ear to ear Kay couldn’t help but squeeze Muffin a little tighter when she gave her a hug. The moment she let go banana got down on her broom and prepared to take off.

Once she saw Muffin take off in the other direction she crossed her legs and buckled down onto her broom. Still smiling because she knew their plan was working, after all as she looked over at the opposing chasers it seemed that their full attention was now directed towards Muffin, at least from what she could tell.

Who knows maybe they are still trying to decide what to do. Either way it’s a perfect time for us to put our plan into effect.

Now giggling evilly she kissed gadget before taking off, zooming to the opposite side of the pitch as Muffin. Keeping her eye’s and ears open for bludgers she zoomed and weaved her way over to the goal post. “Ready for the fun Fred?” Kaylee mumbled, and not even a moment later she felt a reassuring tap on her shoulder letting her know that he was indeed ready.

Barrel rolling and zigging and zagging here and there across the far side of the pitch Kaylee hummed a tune as she continued to smile at the fact that it seemed their plan was working perfectly. The moment she reached the opposite end of the pitch Gemma zoomed up at almost the same exact moment. Still smiling she sat up straight to reveal that she had the quaffle again, which muffin had passed to her on their little hugging spree.

Laughing slightly she yelled out, “ Fang!“ and then hurled the quaffle as hard and as fast as she could to Gemma. Covering her eyes for a moment she crossed her fingers and peaked out slightly between them to see if Muffin had caught the quaffle or not. “She’s gonna get it, she can do this, I know she can.” She mumbled to herself as she watched, waited and hoped.

[Slytherin Chaser]

As she flew hurriedly towards the far end of the pitch, the wind almost freezing her smile and her breath going strained from the cold, Gemma didn't dare to look over at her wifey for one second. She'd simply have to hope that all had worked well and she had taken off at the same time as she herself had, regardless of the fact that this code word had been in a different language again. Usually the spell should work for all languages, but one might never know, and maybe...

No, stop it, for Salazar's sake. You shouldn't go all stupid and nervous at this speed, see how fast you are going, you need to watch where you're going or this is going to end in a disaster, and by disaster i mean worse things than dangling upside-down from the broom. which you haven't done in quite a while, by the way. Kudos to you, I guess, dumbhead.

Trying to ignore the evil and mean voice intruding her thoughts, she couldn't help but notice that it seemed oddly familiar. As if various voices had been mixed together to resemble- NOOBishness! She suddenly knew where those voices came from, and hoping not to go totally insane she once more browsed through her mental media library in order to find a song that'd drone out the unnerving voice and accompany her speedy and so far steady flight.

Before she could find a nice soundtrack, though, she noticed the hoops not to far away from her and sat upright again, slightly slowing down her broom and concentrating on the voice of her wifey. When she perceived the word she had been waiting for, she turned to the side, arms stretched open, and hoped to welcome their lovely Quaffle friend with a huge grin and a tight hug. This was the way she liked it, after all!

Aaah, no, wait, they might somehow find a way to keep me from scoring if we're doing this in a too easy way. You never know whether they might not have at least some skills to help them escape our Quidditch wrath, after all. But I've already got an idea, oh, brilliant Banana Nut Muffin mind of ours, you shall be forever honoured for your working!

Seeing the shiny red ball was almost there, she stretched her arms even further, as far as she could without falling down, and once she was sure she had a good, firm grip on their little treasure she let herself roll backwards as if the Quaffle had knocked her over and was going to make its way over to somewhere, wherever that would be. Only she had actually caught it. Dangling upside down now from her broom with the Quaffle hopefully hidden from prying eyes by her upper body, she directed her broom towards the hoops at a somewhat slower pace than she had flown before.

Once she was right before the left hoop, she swung upright again, held the ball one last time and released it with all her strength - to her right, so that it would have almost no other way than that of heading straight through the middle hoop. Cheerful and confident, Gemma quickly turned on her broom, flying over to were Banana was hovering on her broom with her eyes half-covered by her hands.

"Wifeeeyy, this has to be a good score, right? So what about some pixie stix in celebration? All that fast flying and hanging and getting upright again must have killed all sugar in my system, and I won't risk anything. And by the way, I'm still trying to figure out some good songs for all of this. I think 'Eye of the Basilisk' would fit nicely, since it's about winning and dreams and whatnot. Think it's alright?"

She knew she was chatting away pointlessly, but waiting for the sound that indicated she had indeed scored always made her nervous to end, and this seemed like the best way to keep herself occupied, so she waited for a reply from Banana while bouncing slightly on her broom.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Peaking out between her fingers she watched as Muffin did some weird in air flipping motion as she caught the quaffle. For a moment she completely covered her eyes, not really wanting to see if muffin got stuck upside down again. But she couldn’t keep from looking forever so she finally started to peak out again.

O.O no please don’t let her get stuck upside down like she did in that one match. We don’t need another situation like that again.

Once she saw that Gemma had righted herself up on the right side of her broom. Kay couldn’t help but smile to herself. After all Gemma had done great!! And didn’t end up hanging helplessly upside down. It turns out that their flying lessons had indeed been helping. Now giggling slightly she finally uncovered her eyes when her hubby flew over and started to speak.

Pulling some pixie sticks out of her pocket Kay smiled and handed Gemma a handful of them and ripped open a handful of her own. Pouring them down her throat she smiled over at her hubby as they patiently waited to hear the sound of a successful score.

Yes that hit’s the spot perfectly. I really don’t know what we would do with out sugar, I’d probably be very boring if I didn’t have it to keep me moving and energized.

Shoving the wrappers back in her pockets she started to rock back and forth on her broom listening to Muffin saying something about a sound track for the matches. Still rocking from side to side she smiled and tried to think of good songs to add to the playlist. “Yes I think eye of the serpent is a good choice, maybe we could add some muggle songs in as well. After all I’ve found that if those muggles know anything it’s music. But maybe that’s just me.”

Shrugging slightly she started to think of muggle songs that she thought might be good for the next match. “Maybe before the next match you, nut and I can sit down and make up a couple of play lists. After all I’m sure the music will help all of us concentrate, especially me.”

[Slytherin Chaser]

She giddily took the pixie stix Banana held out to her, reliefed that the stress was over for a moment and she could just lean back and refill her energy sources. She ripped the handful of candy open and poured it all down her throat, just the way they both usually did. It simply seemed like the best way to make it go straight to the blood, and that after all was where sugar belonged.

Gemma was still waiting for the tiny sound that would make her head go as light-feeling and fluttering as her body felt, but the situation at hand was to pleasant to let too much tension come up. Of course the weather could have been better, but what's better than a short break to give your mind an opportunity to relax and maybe even come up with a new maneuver out of literally nowhere.

She stuffed the wrappers of the pixie stix into one of her pockets when her hand suddenly hit something thin and round. Confused, she fished it out and held it up in front of her eyes, trying to guess what it was. After a moment of consideration, she came to the quite intelligent realization that the thing she was holding was nothing but a mere biro, the standard muggle writing utensil.

I wonder why this amde me wonder just as much, I mean, I used that on a daily basis for quite some time now, plus I generally use those on holidays, and for things that aren't directly considered schoolwork...wow. I must really be getting used to this world so much that I'm becoming an alien to the normal one, or the muggle one, whichever. I guess as a Slytherin I should think of that as great and stuff, but it's just, well, weird.

As she thought about worlds and prejudices and all the nice things, she gradually became aware of the fact that she was still staring at the biro in front of her face and since she probably was already regarded as crazy, she decided this idea didn't need further proof and stuffed the thing back inot one of her many pockets. At this point she also noticed that Kay had started speaking again and she turned to listen to her.

"They sure know their music, that's true. I think some of the real awesome stuff in the music business is done by muggles, I don't understand how people can simply say they detest everything non-magical and live their lives without all the great melodies and lyrics. Of course, that's their very own problem anyway."

She contemplated the idea of sitting down to write play lists then and came to the conclusion that it sounded like a good idea. "It might actually really help our concentration, plus it will get us prepared for the fact that there is a match coming up so we'll be all up and ready for it by the time it starts. I think we should ask Nut what she thinks about this. I only hope she won't be drowned in work again, or else it'll be hard for her to do it with us..."

She trailed off and looked around the pitch, trying to spot her wifey as she was on her quest of searching for and catching the snitch. Maybe they would have more time to do awesome things together soon again, she sure hoped so.

[Slytherin Chaser]

Nodding in agreement she listened to Gemma agree about the muggle music and also about it being a good idea to make play list for their next match. After all if would be rather nice to all be listening to the same music, since the entire team seemed to like music so much.

Speaking out loud, not really to anyone Kay mumbled, “Maybe we should ask the rest of the team if they’d like to help out as well. I mean we all seem to be singing on a regular basis and it could be a good team building activity if we all made lists together.”

Shrugging her shoulders she gave a quick glance over at Muffin who didn’t really seem to be paying to much attention anymore. Not really caring she continued, “After all it would seem in order that we need to do some more team building activities with each other. I mean some of our players seem to like and know members of the opposing team better than they know us. And we are all in a house together. “

As she spoke she thought of Violet and how she seemed more at home around the other team then with the people she shared a house with. “In all seriousness I think some team building activities may be necessary. And well I think making play list could be good fun for all of us.” Smiling she decided that she would make up lots of pretty posters and flyers to post all over the house telling everyone to come to the common room some night and help with the lists.

Looking over at Gemma, Kaylee couldn’t help but notice that she didn’t seem to be paying any attention at all. Shrugging again Kay decided that she’d just talk to her about it later when things were less stressful.

Where on earth is the sound of the ding, the ball must have gone in by now. She thought to herself as she started to once again look around the pitch.

(hufflepuff chaser)

Jamie gawped at the fact that the team had no keeper,
"WHAT!?!" his head kept yelling at him....

He turned to see the bludger he sent at Bella fly towards his teamates.......
"uh oh!" a few of them had teamed up together and if Jamie didn't stop the bludger soon then his team was in more trouble than usual.
He zoomed half-way across the pitch.. he was nearer to the slytherin keeper than he needed to be....
Jamie bat flew out infront of him as he decided to hit the one while he was flying upside-down,
BANG!
The bludger hit Jamie on the wrist, he struggled to get himself upright on his broom, his foot slipped off the rest provided and he hung one leg only keeping him on the brrom.
"A little help here please!" he yelled hanging by one leg upside-down both arms flying above his head.
"HELP!"

[Slytherin Chaser]

She knew that her wifey was talking about something or other related to music, but she had been so busy with her ecent song selection that she had, to be honest, only listened with one quarter of an ear or something like that. And about halfway through the ramblings, she had just forgotten about Kay's talk or music for matches altogether. Every thought Gemma had had at the very moment had been eliminated when she heard the distant sound she had been waiting for all the time. She was slightly scared that she was just imagining things because she wanted them to be true so hard, but when she looked around it seemed to be the truth, she had scored and there was nothing the Huffies could do about that now!

Ha, that'll give them something to think about! Trying to beat us, pshh, who do they think they are? Some badgers getting the best of awesomish snakes? Sure, and Blast-Ended Skrewts will learn to fly tomorrow...

She grinned triumphantly and looked pointedly in the direction of the badger Chasers they had left behind, hoping to annoy them by simply looking happy. Thus she never put off the loony grimace of delight on all of her way over to the hoops where she was now going to retrieve the Quaffle so they could go right back to scoring. She glanced up at the sky, thankful that it still hadn't started to rain and that regardless of the gloominess she could easily spot the round, red friend she was about to pay a visit.

The roars of the crowd still sounded in her ears as she swished down under the hoops and grabbed the ball with the firmest grasp she could muster before she flew back over to her wifey again for another hug, this time out of sheer joy and with no evil plan in mind - yet. She squealed a little, somthing she rarely did, as she paced back towards Banana again, and tried hard to think of a song that matched the extraordinarily good and victorious mood she was in at the present moment.

"Wifey, Kay, Banana, hello there, snap out of it and don't look at me as if I've grown another head! We scored, we did it, and look what I got here. It's the Quaffle again! Say hello to Mr. Shiny Red, he's our friend today and we should treat him nicely, shouldn't we?"

She giggled madly and hugged the ball tightly to her body again, deciding that she'd be ready to defend it with her very own life at that precise time. Nobody would steal her friend ball from her!

"NOOO!!!!" Jamie groaned at his own misfortune.
"come on team!" he yelled taking a risk and trying to swing himself back onto his broom..
Jamie saw another bludger closer to him,
with his good arm he batted it over towards Gemma
"haha!" that will teach her to score...

[Slythein Chaser]

Still slightly confused Kay looked over at her hubby who was mumbling something about a shiny red thing. Squinting slightly at her she just watched as Muffin continued talking about something. After a couple of moments she noticed that Muffin was waving something very red and very shiny in her face. Suddenly realizing what Gemma was holding onto she couldn't help but grin like a mad man.

Almost jumping in mid air she latched onto Gemma giving her a big bear hug, "We scored!! I mean at least that's what I'm guessing, since here you are holding that pretty ball and looking happy!! YAY!!" Letting go of Gemma and stopping screaming in her ear Kay continued as she jerked around on her broom. "Man your fast, you must have flown over there, retrieved the ball and gotten back over here in seconds. I mean I barely even noticed that you flew away. Looks like those lessons are really starting to help your flying skills."

Still smiling like an idiot Kay turned around after hearing some yelling coming from behind her, their beater - no wait was he their chaser? What ever he was he was dangling from his broom in mid air.

I wonder why he's doing that? I mean I do that when I want to distract the keeper, but we have the ball, so who is he trying to distract?

Slightly more than confused Kay watched the boy hanging from his broom. Not wanting to see a tragedy she pulled out her wand and pointed it straight at him, quickly yelling "Levicorpus!!" It wasn't the nicest charm, since it caused him to be suspended in mid air by his ankle but she figured it'd give his team mates enough time to fly over and help him back onto his broom. Watching she waited patiently for one of them to fly to his rescue.

Not seeing the severity of the situation, as he couldn't have hit it very hard hanging there like that Kay just calmly spoke to her hubby, "Hey special kid hanging by his ankle there just sent a bludger your way. Move about 3 feel to your left and it should miss you completely."

(psssst! Jamie, your a beater, not chaser ^^)

(hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

Rose felt her heart nearly come out of her throat as she gained on the Slytherins. Sadly, they where just too far ahead, and made it there before the Huffies. The Quaffle was hurtalling towards the middle goal, and went in clean as a whisp.

"Right", said Rose, rather sadly to Skie. "Well, good shot. I, as Captain, must be the best sport I can." Rose and Skie kept flying towads the goals. The two Slytherin chasers seemed buisy and amusing themselves, so Rose dive bomed for the red ball. But, out of nowhere, Gemma swooped down before her and grabbed the Quaffle. Rose was absalutly flabergasted.

"Crums!" She began chasing the Slytherin, only a foot or two behind her, before Gemma sped up rather quickly and as already bac beside her teammate. Rose kept moving towards her slowly, before she herd a small plee for help. Turning her head, she saw Jamie, a Huffies beater, dangling from his broom. "SKIE! GO AFTER THAT QUAFLLE OR SO HELP ME I WILL NEVER GIVE YOU CHOCOLATE AGAIN!" Sure, they where still ways away from the Slytherin with the ball, but Skie could gain on them.

Rose zoomed over to her teammate, agreeing completly that lives where more important than the game. As she was a few yards away, one of the Slytherins was kind enough to cast a spell on Jamie so he did not slip and fall to his doom. She hoisted Jamie back ontop of his broom when she arrived. "You ok?" Glancing back at the Slytherin who may have very well saved his life, Rose nodded in thanks and looked back at Jamie.

(I'm not sure how you manage to chase me when I've already gone back to being next to Kay and not moving anymore in the post before this. So I'm just going to ignore that part of your post.)

[Slytherin Chaser]

Gemma was flabbergasted that it had taken her wifey that long to notice they had scored and were now in possession of the Quaffle, but nontheless she assumed that she was happy enough about it once she had realized it and therefore decided to not say anything about it. She started going back to thinking about muggle songs and how they could relate to their Quidditch match, but came up with no idea and thus jumped to another trail of thoughts.

If this is Slytherin, and I am Slytherin and Banana and Nut are, then how come we are such awesome beings? I always thought that- no, actually I was only told that this was for the cunning and sly, the house where you'd make real friends. All of this seems to be quite true to me. So Quidditch, speaking of cunning and sly. What could I do with this pleasant little round thingy here? I wonder whether Kay's got any idea on this question...

Turning around to face Banana and ready to ask her, she witnessed her pulling out her wand and pointing it somewhere. When Gemma followed the wand's tip, it pointed at one of the Huffies - a Chaser, no, wait, a Beater, well, one of them - who was hanging in mid air by his ankle. She wondered slightly why Kay had used the Levicorpus on him but she would have had her good reasons for it, so there was no necessity of worries.

The announcment of a weirdly hitten bludger also didn't sound too worrisome, after all her wifey had said that she only needed to move three feet to her left. But then a problem arose as Gemma tried to recall which side of her exactly was the left one. Was it the one over here? Or that one over there? She was confused and decided that getting this cleared up would take way too long, so she simply went with a Sloth Grip Roll. She didn't exactly like these, but it seemed necessary.

Great, Gemma, great. And once again, you manage two times of hanging around upside down in one match. Could you not simply learn to differentiate between left and right? You could do so when you scored, so what's so hard about it now? Really, sometimes one could think you were supposed to be a Hufflepuff girl rather than a Slytherin lady...

She shut off the voice in her head by shaking it violently and then went back to the task at hand, namely scoring yet another time. "So, Banana, how do we do this now? I guess our old trick won't work another time, will it?"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

"Oh no... Oh no, no, OH NO!" Skie's face was turning purple, vaguely reminiscent of eggplants, and her hands were beginning to shake. Because of her cursed stupidity, and the fact that there was no freakin' keeper, Slyherin had a.) scored and b.) were in possession of the quaffle! Skie growled, a low rumbling sound in the back of her voice as she shook her head trying to clear all excess thoughts. "ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Skie yelled at the top of her lungs as she berated herself cruelly for the fact that she was to stupid to do anything to stop the Slythie chasers from scoring.

"Grrr... " Skie rumbled in a throaty whisper under her breath. "Better watch out little snakies, 'cuz the badgers is coming for you now." Skie hoped that her brave words wouldn't be all talk, and that Slytherin wouldn't score again. "Hm..." Skie stared into space apprehensively and looked at the Slythie chasers who were hovering together and looking as if they were planning on a score. Oh Merlin, this is so not good... Skie thought as her thoughts raced and her mouth half- formed words to plan what would happen next.

Looking over her shoulder, Skie was suddenly struck by a beautiful moment of pure, blissful inspiration. Elation, a tingly feeling of euphoria, spreading through her veins like an adrenaline rush quickly eradicated all previous guilt for allowing Slytherin to score and miserableness from not being able to catch the quaffle when it came back into play. Flying over to Jamie so quickly that she might have apparated over to his side, Skie whispered her plan as softly as she could.

"'kay, Jamie, can you hit a bludger over towards Gemma and Kaylee? The best thing that could happen would be if you could get both bludgers over there... but one will do. If your bludgers hit your mark, hopefully they'll scatter and drop the qauffle and either Rose or I will catch it. Got it?" Skie asked, hoping that it would work.

(yea sorry im getting brainwashed by reading all of your posts!)
(Hufflepuff beater)

Jamie thanked his team mate and hrealed his arm..
"Episky!" he whispered and flew off again holding his bat firmly....
"cpome on come on!" he hissed to himself watching the slytherins make their sly moves.. every turn they took seemed to be a slither.
Jamie remembered the fact that they were down a keeper,
"HEY!!! CAPTIN!" Jamie yelled " DO YOU WANT ME TO FILL IN?!" he yelled thinking that the keeper goal posts would be safer and more important that knocking people off their brooms

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

"Yo, Jamie, answer me question!" Jamie's attention was clearly somewhere else as he yelled for Rose to ask she wanted him to be a repacement keeper. "Jamie, Rose and I need some serious help if we're going to get the qauffle so listen!" Skie really needed Jamie to pay attention. Launching off into her plan which didn't sound as brilliant now as it had before, Skie said, "Jamie, we need you to hit a bludger at Gemma and Kaylee to make them scatter and then Rose or I will catch the qauffle that they will hopefully drop."

"Do you have it? We really need you to keep being a beater right now!" Skie said, hoping to get the point across.

(hufflepuff beater)

Jamie looked over to Skie quickly
"oh yes i was just about to do that!" Jamie flew round until a bludger was heading his way...
"hey! NOW!" he yelled over to her.....
Jamie hit one of the bludgers harder than he thought was possible... and sent it zooming towrds the slytherin chasers

[Slytherin Chaser]

Hearing Muffin ask her what play they should pull next Kay just started to shake her head. "Honestly I have no idea, my brain doesn't seem to be functioning at the moment. Maybe I need more sugar." Smiling she pulled another handful of pixie sticks out of her pocket and riped them open and dumped them down her throat.

Time to put our thinking caps on, now what would be a fun but easy move. Since for the most part we don't really have much opposition when it comes to scoring. We could always go with our old favorite and try to pull off the PP. It's easy, effective and both Muffin and I are pros at pulling it off at this point.

Shrugging her shoulders at her own mental thoughts she started to smile like an idiot at Gemma. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak she heard a loud crack and saw a movement out of the corner of her eye. Squinting slightly she turned around to see Jamie, the huffies -um- beater? No maybe their chaser? Who ever with his arm extended with a bat in hand. At that exact moment she saw the bludger, heading straight towards her and Gemma.

Still smiling Kay turned towards Gemma and softly said, "Hold on to that ball, no matter what happens." Receiving what she was sure was a nod from Gemma she started to smirk evilly and proudly.

Time to put my acting skills to use.

Turning so that the Huffies could see her face clearly her face turned to a face portraying total and udder shock. Screaming loudly she waited for the bludger to get close enough that the Huffies would start to get excited. And then with out warning she stuck her leg out and put it against Muffins side, and pushed off hard. The moment she did this she heard the bludger go zooming straight in between the two of them. Laughing slightly she yelled across the pitch, "Bella, do you think you could possibly send some of these away from us?"

Still laughing she flew back over to Muffins side, and tried to straighten up enough to spit out the plan. "Okay how about we just go with the plain old PP after all it's worked well for us in the past. Besides, I have a feeling that Nut is going to catch that snitch any moment now, and we might as well have a little fun before she does." Still giggling slightly she started to hop up and down on her broom, wondering how much longer it would be before Nut did catch the snitch.

[Jamie, put your position in brackets at the top of your post! : )]

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Skie moaned as the bludger that Jamie had sent hurtling towards Kaylee and Gemma flew right in between them. Muttering vaguely about things that the bludger could have done if it had hit it's mark, such as knocked one of the chasers spiraling to the ground to be caught by Madam Pomfrey and her wonderful magical stretcher and given Hufflepuff the quaffle, Skie hunched her shoulders and continued racking her mind for possibilities on a score. Feeling a growl rumble in her chest and then spit out of her lips, Skie spun aimlessly, waiting for some wonderful idea to hit her.

"No, no... There's no way... But maybe if... no... Hm... What about? No..." Skie muttered to herself in a grouchy manner that reminded one of mean old women who seemed to have nothing better to do than say stuff like 'Stand up straight! Back in my day... These young hooligans with their new- fangled fashions'. Then, finally, after much grumbling, soreness, lip chewing, and slight lower lip jutting out, Skie decided that her only option was a simple one. Wait until the Slythie chasers started moving for the keepers goalpost, of course there was still no keeper, and then move in for the kill- I mean steal.

Racing over to where the two Slytherin chasers sat huddled and formulating a plan, Skie hovered a few meters to the side nearest the Hufflepuff goalposts. If they moved, she'd be able to chase them and hopefully take the quaffle for Hufflepuff. "Ah... " Skie murmured impatiently. For the quidditch gods' sake, how long could they sit there planning like old women and in the name of the first broomstick, what could be taking Dani so long to find the snitch. That last thought distracting her for a moment, Skie looked around to see if she could catch a glance of gold anywhere on the pitch. Turning her head to her right, Skie suddenly saw a quick flash of light and wings hovering by the announcers podium.

Waving her arms like a madwomen, Skie pointed to Dani, then to the Slythie goals, and in sign language signed the letters S- N- I- T- C- H. Mouthing the words, Skie hoped that Dani understood her gesturing, although that was all Skie dared to do just in case the other seeker saw her gesturing at Dani. "Just trying to get rid of erm... nargles," Skie said out loud just in case anyone was watching. Making a mental note to tell Luna how amazing she was, Skie looked back at the Slytherin chasers, her problem, her priority.

[Slytherin Seeker and Captain]

Cat saw Dani approach and took turned towards her. "Cat, looks like you finally made it to a game, its about time." She chuckled and stuck out her tongue playfully at the other teams seeker. "I've been busy like crazy recently," she replied. "Been sick and had lots of homework. Realized I had anemia the other week, but not I am feeling better and ready to kick butt." Dani was an old friend from back when she first started at Hogwarts. The Hufflepuff was one of the first, along with fellow Slytherins Val and Nancy, to welcome her to the school. But even so the friendship wasn’t going to ruin her natural competitiveness and determination for the snitch.

She grinned wickedly and added, "Race you to the snitch!"

She then took off in search for the snitch. For a good half an hour or so, maybe more for she really couldn't tell the time without a watch, she roamed around on her broom without seeing even the slightest hint of gold. Her eyes began to droop and she was near boredom. Really how long could that little ball hide? She then sighed as she remembered some of these games did last days, though a Hogwarts game typically didn’t, so she really wasn’t too worried.

After what seemed like seemed forever she saw a tiny flicker of something in a tiny ray of sun near the goals. She thanked the gloomy day for allowing her that tiny little ray of sunlight and began speeding towards the snitch. She followed it along the oval edge of the enormous pitch, then past her team mates. Next thing she knew, it was heading towards Jamie. She quickly tried avoiding the boy, thus causing her broom to start to loose control.

She luckily managed to get control over her broom again within seconds and went back to chasing the snitch. She quickly caught up with the ball and stretched out her hands. Barely there…barely there…, she thought as her fingertips brushed the air surrounding the ball, not yet able to reach. And then…she had it! The little wings fluttered around her fingers as she held the golden ball in her hand. She pumped up her fist containing the ball in the air as she began to lower her broom.
