(Gryffindor Keeper and Co-Captain)

June was finally home from holiday, but she missed being away from everything, being away from all the toil of reality. She was pulled out of the world of relaxation and doused with icy cold water that brought her back to earth. She had to face the music. June sighed as she stared out of her window at the pouring rain. This was not a good omen for Quidditch today.... She'd be playing Keeper, which she had never done before, and she wasn't sure how good she would be. Sure, there's a first time for everything, but against a team like Ravenclaw, June couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

She glanced at her clock and mentally shook herself. This wasn't a time for dwelling on emotions, though rain often made her feel that way. No, now, she needed to get ready to play her first game in a while, and she couldn't afford to be distracted. June walked out of her room and down the stairs. As she walked towards the Locker Room, she began to go over moves in her head. Playing Keeper was quite different from playing Beater, moreso than playing Chaser, so she hoped that she'd be able to quckly adapt to the new situation.

After a while, June reached the Locker Room. She was early, so she didn't rush to get ready. She opened her locker, took out her robes and her broom, and reached for her bat... but then she remembered that she wouldn't be needing it. She sighed once more and pulled on her robes. She tied her hair up to keep it from getting into her eyes, and snapped on a pair of uncomfortable goggles that were supposed to keep the rain out of her eyes. Supposed to, anyway. June pulled on gloves and something bright caught her eye on the bench. She grinned when she took a closer look. They were scarlet cloaks that would help to keep the team from getting wet.

June pulled her's on and picked up her broom. Though she'd spent a long time apart from it, Aethera still felt good in her hand. It was a familiar, comforting, secure feeling, and June felt her confidence rise. She walked to the door that led to the Pitch, closed her eyes to prepare for the rain, and pushed the door open. When she reached the outside, June shivered under an onslaught of water and wind. Brrrr...... The calendar said it was August, but June wasn't quite sure. Had she missed 6 months? Gritting her teeth, June mounted her broom and hurriedly kicked off; she wanted to get into the air. Her kick off was a bit messy because of the wet, squelching grass, but as soon as June got into the air, she felt much better. Though she had been reluctant to come back to school after holiday - as if she had a choice - June smiled. She'd forgotten how much flying meant to her.

Before heading for the hoops, June began to warm up, flying loops around the Pitch while waiting for her team members. Though the weather was horrid and she was playing a new position, June had a feeling that this game wouldn't be so bad after all.

(ravenclaw chaser)

Kim rushed onto the pitch. She had just got back from vacation a couple days previous and almost missed the Quidditch game poster in the common room. She looked at the pitch and sighed. She wasn't late. She was on time. SHe grabbed her broom and flew into the air. She wondered how Ravenclaw was doing, since she missed the last couple games. Kim noticed an opposing member in the air. She waved, deciding to be friendly till the game started.

(RAVENCLAW CHASER)

Painful as it was to put down her new copy of Breaking Dawn, Elana knew that she had better get to the pitch on time. It was true that reading it would be a good excuse to miss the game, but not a forgivable one. She didn't bother to cover a yawn with her hand as she closed her umbrella, entering the locker room. Having been up half the night reading, she knew she wasn't in the best shape to play, though the rain would be waking her up shortly. The weather seemed to be sympathizing with her - the rain pelting down from the sky was similar to that of Forks, Washington. All that was missing were a number of vampires and werewolves...

Shaking the characters out of her head - she needed to focus! - Elana changed briskly and tied up her hair. It would do no good to have it in her face, obscuring her vision as much as the rain. Remembering a spell that would keep the rain out of her face, she performed it, wishing she could do one that would simply stop the rain instead. She grabbed her broom and headed outside, shoulders hunched up against the threat of water running down her robes. Her footfalls left tracks in the mud, squelching as she moved. Shielding her eyes, habit, she looked up to see another Ravenclaw and a Gryffie already in the sky. She swung a leg over her broom and kicked off of the slippery ground. Once in the air at their level she was able to identify the players - her teammate Kim, and opponent June...who was missing her bat. Puzzled, Elana wondered why she had changed position - Beater to Keeper was a huge difference. She shrugged then waved to Kim and June before doing a few laps to warm up.

(Referee)

Amy flew onto the pitch, crate of balls in one hand. She released them, and then blew her whistle.

"Let the match begin!"

(Gryffindor Seeker)

Pamela woke with a fairly sick feeling in her stomach. At first she couldn't quite remember why. Then it hit her rather quickly. It was the last game of the season! Well, for Gryffindor anyway. There was only one more game left after this. It was amazing to think of how quickly the term had gone. Pamela couldn't believe it. As she got dressed, Pamela thought back to some of the highlights of the season. Her favourite...and least favourite was probably the game before which she had a nightmare about a butterfly. Few knew that particular phobia of hers. Those who were at the game did, though. They'd seen her fly away, panicked, when she came near the butterflies one of her teammates had conjured.

Though, she was not running too late, Pamela knew that she didn't have time to stand there reminiscing. Gryffindor had played some iffy games and Pamela wanted to do the best she could to help them do as well as possible. She walked down the the Great Hall. She was far too hungry to wait until after she'd played. She'd just make herself up an egg sandwich. After doing so, and grabbing an orange juice, she headed out toward the locker rooms. She downed her o.j. as quickly as possible. She hated the stuff, but for some reason she'd woke a bit sniffly. She needed the Vitamin C. After she'd swollowed it all, she grimaced. Ah well...it was good for her.

When she stepped outside, she figured out why she was so sniffly. It was unseasonably chilly and very rainy. "What is this, northwest Indiana?" she said to herself, remembering exactly what summers were like in that area especially near the lake. When she walked into the locker room she immediately saw the red cloaks left for them to keep them dry. Or at least, that's what they were presumably for. There were six there, which implied that someone had gotten them. Pamela got one on, and when she stepped out onto the pitch, she was glad she had. It was really coming down now.

She made a quick check, and saw that June was already there. Kim and Elana were there...both chasers. "Yay! At least we have a keeper this time!" Pamela shouted to no one in particular, but the wind kept the sound from going very far. She barely even heard it herself. Then she saw that Amy was just walking off the pitch. That meant the balls had been released. Pamela immediately mounted her broom and lifted off with a much louder shout of, "go, go Gryffindor!" The search was on and with any luck, Pamela would not have to search in this ridiculous rain for long.

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy slowly made her way down to the pitch stil thinking about what had happened today. She had begged her mom for the past month trying to get her to take her to the store to buy Breaking Dawn when it came out. After her mom had decided that she would, she headed to the store. Stephy went stright to the book section only to find that there was no breaking dawn there. She was on the verge of tears when her mom said that she could order it over the internet. Oh well, better late than never Stephy thought as she made her way to the pitch.

Once outside she felt the rain just pour on her. She felt as if someone had poured a bucket of water on her as she made her way down to the pitch. As she made her way there she was hoppiong that the rain would slow down but so far it didnt show it. She walked over to the locker room and quickly switch into her robes. It had taken her awhile to get down to the pitch and she dditn want to waste anymore time.

She put on her robes, slipped her gloves on and tied her hair up so that it wouldnt get in her face. She then grabed her bat and broom and walked out of the locker room. She was greeted by more rain and looking up she saw that there were already a few members on her team along with some Gryffindors. Mounting her broom she kicked off of the ground and saw that Amy had just releashed the balls.

(Gryffindor Chaser)

Erika woke up the horror of rain outside her window. She hoped this game was going to be for Gryffindor but she couldn't promise anything. She shoved through the mess near her bed including Breaking Dawn which she had yet to read. The greatest series fluttered in and out of her mind as she ran down the stairs.

She was on her way to the Guidditch Pitch when it hit her..It was the last game of term. "Well great." She muttered in snarling to herself. The sound of rain against the windows through out the castle was not helped by the silence of the school.
Tap, tap, tap.. the sound unleashed an unwanted ache in her stomach.

When on the Quidditch Pitch she mounted her broom and flew up into the air.
"I know, It's amazing.." Erika shouted to Pamela. Amy walked out onto the Pitch with the Quaffle in her hand. The Bludgers sat squimish in their case urging to be let go. The latch was unlocked, and Amy threw the ball high into the air. The games had begun and it was to be there best yet..

(Gryffindor Seeker)

Pamela knew that many of the players on the field would probably be wishing they were in their dorms, reading their brand new copies of Breaking Dawn. She couldn't blame them. This was not a day for playing an outdoor sport that involved flying through open air in high altitudes. It was a day for reading a good book and sipping a nice butterbeer...or firewhiskey. Pamela couldn't help but feeling a twinge of jealousy when she thought about those who already had the book. She had only read Twilight; she owed money to her local library because her friend had lost some books. To make matters worse, another friend had borrowed Twilight from her, but had never returned it.

As Pamela was sitting there fuming about her missing book, she saw something shiny fly past her. Instinctively, she made to chase after it by pulling a Right Lionangle. Pamela wasn't the best maneuver namer in the world, but that may have been the worst one she'd ever come up with. Ah well...it was descriptive enough. She merely turned her broom and herself roughly ninety degrees. Of course, there was some curve to it, but that was the gist. Unfortunately, there was no snitch. It was merely the sun peeking through for a split second and reflecting off a drop of rain. The sun had poked itself out, then it disappeared even faster than it had come.

Now she was quite disappointed; she had hoped she could pull off a super-fast snitch catch. But then she thought about it. What fun would that be? There were only 6 players on the field. There would surely be a better way to get some excitement going in the game than to end it before anyone had actually scored. As long as her rain-cloak kept doing it's job, she'd stay out as long as they wanted her to.

Erika seemed to think this was too easy as she planned the game in her head. She flew after the Quaffle and caught it gently. She needed to hide the Quaffle and tucked the ball under her arm with the Lion's Prowl. This was a simple move and whipped the ball from the face of the Earth. Most Chaser's valued the move for it confussed the opponent wondering who had the Quaffle. The Quaffle is hidden under the Chaser's arm out of sight. Then you would "Prowl" torwards the Rings to score.

Erika agreed her Comet 2-50 wasn't the greatest broom in the world and she over the years adjusted. She mounted her broom and flew high up into the air. This aloud her to see her disadvantanges on the feild before she flew down to score. No one would expect her to hold the Quaffle. It only looked as if she was observing. She did both, held the Quaffle and Observed.

:: I went and got my book at Midnight yesterday. xD I bought it for 15 dollars with my friend's membercard. Score one for Erika! ::

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy looked out across the field and saw some more Gryffinor's enter the field. Stephy saw wondering when more Ravencalws would enter the fied when she felt something fly ber her. Looking off to her side she saw that it was a bluder. As she was flying around the pitch, the bludger must of have tried to knock her off her broom but as she was flying she must of have been flying fast enough to avoid the Bludger from hitting her.

Turning around quickly on her broom, Stephy raised up her bat as she chased after the Bludger that was trying to get away from her. She flattened herself on her broom and tried to ctach up to the Bludger before it got away. Once she had cuaght up to her, She threw back her bat and as she flew towards ir, gaining more speed, she threw her arm forward aming her bat to the Bludger. A crack filled the stadium and headed stright for Erika.

(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Polly ran as fast as she could threw the rain into the quidditch changing rooms. Pulling her clothes of fast she grabbed her kit shoving them on as fast as was humanly possible. She was late for a quidditch match. She had missed the last few because she was on holiday and her reserve had had to step in. Feeling quite rusty Polly grabbed the broom feeling the familiar cool wood beneath her fingers soothing her nerves.

Walking out onto the pitch she was created with a loud roar from the Ravenclaw stands. O the glory and pleasure of returning to quidditch. This was the thing she missed most when she went away from Hogwarts. Walking towards the center of the pitch Polly placed the broom between her legs gripping it with her hands she pushed of from the ground and felt the beautiful feeling of soaring threw the air. Of flying.

Her hair spoon round her face whipping her and catching her in the eyes. The heavy rain began to seep through her quidditch uniform and she felt the cold settle in. Wasn’t it supposed to be August? Well for Polly this was better than dead heat she thought there was nothing worse than sweating heavily and losing her play because of the heat.

Once she arrived at her post she felt a smile play on her lips. This was her place it always had been and always will until she left of course. Brining her glasses down she cast the spell on them so the rain wouldn’t effect them so she could see what was going on with the game.

Not many people had arrived and there was little action going on. thank god though Polly. She was glad that she had not missed anything otherwise it would feel like her fault if Ravenclaw had lost. Shacking her hair back she settled herself into the middle of the scoring rings ready to defend the Ravenclaw goals for victory.

(Gryffindor Keeper and Co-Captain)

June smiled as Kim waved to her; she waved back. She continued to warm up as more players arrived, but immediately returned to the Gryffindor goal posts. Two blurs of red flew into the air, one after the other, and June waved to them. She didn't bother calling out to them. There was no way they'd hear her in this horrible weather. She squinted, trying to see past the rain clinging to her goggles, but as far as she could make out, there were no players or quaffles heading towards her. Thank Merlin.

She decided to fly a bit higher and drifted back and forth in front of the hoops, just in case. Deciding to make her job a bit more exciting, June began to increase her speed as she flew in front of the hoops. This was called the Blocking Blur and if it was used when a quaffle was headed for the hoops, then there was a high chance that it would get knocked aside by the Keeper. In all honesty, it wasn't a very good move, technically speaking, but fun to do. June ended the move and closed her eyes tightly, though she doubted that that was a good idea. She felt a bit dizzy, which wasn't a good thing when she had to be able to catch, using precision and hand-eye coordination.

June opened her eyes, her dizziness gone, and continued to survey the game. She narrowed her eyes at the sight of a bludger heading towards Erika, and June followed its trajectory back towards the Beater who had hit it. Stephy. June wished that she could play Beater this game, and for a few moments, she felt a phantom bat in her hand. But sadly, that was only a wish and she could only hope that either a Gryffindor Beater appeared, or that something happened and that Erika would dodge the bludger. With nothing else at her disposal, June put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Erika!!!! Bludger!!!!" June put her hands down; she could only hope that through some miracle Erika would hear her, but there was only so much that was possible in a rainy Quidditch game.

(Gryffindor Chaser)

The shouts of June caught Erika's attention. A bludgers soared though the air to knock her off her broom. Erika tucked her body forward, the Quaffle still in her hand and she needed to get away from the Bludger. In contact it would follow her and she needed to fly away and put it's path on someone else.

She whipped through the air performing the move, "Slash". It was a chaser's bread and butter and it was her only chance from being knocked off her little Comet 2-50. She was to jag through the air as if you are kicking off a wall in water you shot yourself threw the air. It was good for catching the Quaffle from the other side of the Pitch or what she was faced with now.

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy watched as Erika was able to avoid the Bludger that she had sent at her. She was a little discourged but that didnt stop her from finding the second Bludger that was flying around the field. Just as she had watched Erika's escape from teh Bludger, Stephy then turned her broom around and flew up highre above the others so taht she would be able to see the whole pitch. As she flew up she felt the rain smack against her face until she stopped and hovered in place. Stephy was looking down at the ground and was even more discouraged when she saw that her vision wasnt the best. She scaned the ground and then she saw it, flying towards Elana was a black blur.

Stephy quickly flattened herself agiainst her broom and headed stright towards Elana. She held up her bat ready for action. As she made her way to Elana, she felt each of the rain drops pound against her face, She would flitch away as the drop hit her but that didnt slow her down. Once she was in front of Elana, Stephy pulled up on her broom and leveled out. She then threw her arm backwards and then forward causing a great crack to fill the air. She felt the vibrattion travel up her bat and into her arm.

Thanks to the rain and the vibratation, Stephy had dropped her bat and it went flying down towards the ground. She quickly pulled her broom into a dive to retreieve the bat not looking to see where the Bludger was heading towards, All she knew was that she had aimed it at a Gryffindor. She she had cuaght up to the ball she pulled her broom up and tehn looked to see what had happened to the ball

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim shook her head and then it seemed everyone had appeared. The teams were on the pitch.The rain was in the air, and she was on her broom. Not getting the Quaffle, she added. SHe wondered where it was. Amy had left the pitch with the ball box in hand. THe little Snitch had dissapeared instantly, and so, it seemed did the Quaffle. Kim was confused. SHe looked at all the players on the field searching for the ball, or any signs of suspicion. SHe found none.

Kim decided to fly around, looking for it. She flew towards the ground and searched. Meanwhile Stephy had slammed a Bludger at a Gryffie Chaser. This girl had a new face. KIm didn't know her. Oh, well. That's what happens when you leave school for 2 weeks.

(Gryffindor Chaser)

Erika took a sharp turn and went back the way she came. The bludger seemed to fly off away from her course. Erika continued what she needed to do. She soared through the air and circled around the hoops and with a deep grasp of air she pulled the Quaffle out and through the ball with all her might.

It didn't seem good enough. The release of the ball seemed wrong and there wasn't enough power. Another part of her just knew it would go through.

{Ravenclaw Seeker and Co-Captain}

Rigby read the last page of Breaking Dawn, and put it down, her hands shaking from the massive amounts of caffiene she had drank in order to stay up all night. She rushed to get a glass of water, staring idely at her calendar, hardly believing it was August already. Then she peered closer and sucked in a sharp breathe of air, which caused the water in her throat to choke her.

Quidittch!!

Her mind raced even faster than her feet as she slammed down the stairs, frantically making her way to the locker rooms. Her hair came loose from the messy bun she had created to keep her hair out of her face while she read, and now kept hitting her in the face as she flew around corners. She slammed into the locker room door and found herself repelled onto the floor.

Obviously the door was locked.

Whipping out her wand she alahomoraed the door and crawled her bruised and abused body through the door. Rigby winced as she managed to use her locker handle to drag and slither her way to her feet. She changed as quickly as she could into her robes, but her back was killing her.

Before grabbing her broomstick, she quickly guzzled several liters of water, hoping to counteract the evil caffiene that had replaced much of her blood supply. Somewhere in the act of re-hydrating she downed a couple aspirin for her aching body. She was still tired, but the euphoria of finishing Breaking Dawn was giving her some much needed energy.

As prepared as she felt capable of being, Rigby made her way onto the pitch. She jumped on her broomstick, doing her best to ignore her protesting joints. She plastered on a super fake smile and zoomed to meet her teammates.

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim gasped to see that the Chaser she didn't know had the Quaffle. SHe had just shot it towards the hoops. Kim swore and crossed her fingers. Don't go it, don't go in, don't go in, she thought. She smiled as Rigby ran onto the pitch. She wished her luck silently, hopefully we'll catch the Snitch quickly. Kim hoped her other teammates would show up giving them more manpower.

(RAVENCLAW CHASER)

Distracted by thoughts of vampires and more specific things that would require a spoiler tag, Elana was surprised to hear the sharp CRACK of bat against Bludger before her face. Eyes snapping into focus and grip tightening on her broom, she gave Stephy an apologetic smile. At least one of them had been paying attention. Now that the Bludger was headed away from her, she looked around for the Quaffle. It was high on her priority list, of course, now that she had remembered it. She caught sight of the big red ball flying through the air - towards the Ravenclaw hoops. Luckily, their awesome Keeper, Polly, was ready and waiting. She flitted over, ready to catch the ball as it was thrown back into play. Which it would be soon, right? It hadn't gone in? It couldn't! Biting her lower lip, Elana looked up at the scoreboard to see if it had changed from 0-0. It hadn't, and so she switched her attention back to the goals in front of her. C'mon, Polly, she thought. It didn't go in, right?

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy looked up and a red blue caught her eye. Looking closely she saw that it was the quaffle. Polly will get it Stephy said as she returned her attentation back to the field. She squinted through the rain trying to caught the other Bludger but so far she couldnt find it. "Darn rain" Stephy cursed as she raised her bat into the air swining around in anger.

Stephy then pulled up on ehr broom and rose up higher into the air. SHe perfered to be up high so that she would be able to keep an eye on all of her team members but the rain was making it a little difficult at the time. Trying to see through the rain, Stephy hovered around the air looking for anything that might be trying to attack her team members. So far everyone seemed safe and all she had left to do was find teh Bludger. Where is that dumb ball? Stephy thought to herself

:: I have to ask, does Ravenclaw have a Keeper? ::

(Gryffindor Chaser)

"Come on!!" Erika shouted, hoping as the Quaffle ran through the air. She wanted to hear the anouncer shout 'Ten Points for Gryffindor' and her en-lightining Ding. The rain had Erika soaked and the dark sky made it hard to see. She really wasn't sure if it would make it or not.. or it already did? For a momment it seemed so, she didnt know what she was looking at.

::yes. it's polly::
(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim sat anxiously waiting for the ball. She hoped Polly would catch it. She looked at the scoreboard to make sure she wasn't missing anything. Nope, no score change. Kim looked to her left, and noticed that Stephy was looking for a ball, too. But not the Quaffle, the Bludger, she thought.

Kim looked around and saw Rigby. She was flying round looking for a ball too, the Snitch. Stop it! Kim told herself. Focus on what's important right now-Polly and the Quaffle. And her eyes narrowed as she flew closer to the hoops to watch her reaction.

:: I thought you guys had a keeper.. ok thanks ::

(Gryffindor Chaser)

When the world seemed the end it was over and the sky didnt fall. The Quaffle seemed to be falling on the other side of the rings. What happened was the question, there was no en-lighting Ding. Did it just miss it?

"Did it go through?" Erika shouted to the anouncer. She didn't know what happened but she raced in to grab the Quaffle. She flew forward and stoped. Erika decided to do the proper thing, She released her arm and threw the Quaffle to Kim like Ravenclaw's Keeper would.

She stoped next to Kim, "Bring it.." She smirked and flew high ready to Bomb Drop Kim. If Kim was to throw the Quaffle or it was to fall she would shot down in the air gaining speed and decend with the Quaffle. It wasn't the best idea with her Comet 2-50 but she was to try.

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim smiled at Erika's sportsmanship. Erika threw her the ball and challenged her. Kim smirked and looked at Erika. She smiled at her again. How nice. And that gives us action back into the game.

The ball was in her arm. She looked at Elana and up at Erika. She wondered if she should do any tricks. She thought, the hell with it, and just flew off racing to the other hoops. She zoomed in and out of the stand towers and swerved around and arouund, knowing the Chaser would be following her soon enough, if not already. She was lightly screwing with the Chaser to dizzy her. She dipped down towards the ground, and flew up high. She did a loop-de-loop.

Kim hoped Elana would come to her aid soon, or she'd be flying in circles forever. She wondered if Stephy could aid her. Kim looked for the red ball as she flew around. She wondered how strange this would look. Her, a Chaser, with the Quaffle tightly in her grip, with a Chaser on her tail, and here she is looking for the Bludger and a Beater.

::gtg::

:: See ya ::

(Gryffindor Chaser)

Erika watched as Kim flew towards the rings.
What is she trying to do? What does she think im going to crack from confussion. Erika rose an eye brow. She kicked on her broom and raced down. She knew they were going to take a shot at scoring and that the Bludger hit by a bat would soon come her way. She flew and took a stop a few yards away from the rings' border.

(RAVENCLAW CHASER)

Not quite sure on the outcome of Erika's throw, Elana was pleasantly surprised when the Gryffindor tossed the Quaffle to Kimmy. Good sportsmanship indeed. She smiled at her, glad that she was giving Ravenclaw a shot. She began to follow her fellow Chaser, but grew dizzy after going through a few spirals. Pulling up on her broom, she was soon a yard or two above most players heads. It suited her better to follow from above - kept things less crowded and dizzying. Once Kim was near to the goals, Elana put two fingers in her mouth to let loose a sharp whistle to get Kim's attention. Ready to help, she swooped down and forward, getting closer to the hoops. With any luck, they'd have a goal soon and the score would be - if Erika's had counted - tied. And if not...well, she didn't see anything wrong with being ten points ahead. That thought giving her a grin, Elana inched closer to the hoops, anxious for a score.

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy contiued to fly around trying to find the Bludger but the raining wasnt helping much. Flying around she soon heard something fly by past her. Looking she saw that once again she had missed being hit by a Blugder by inches. Well at least I found it Stephy thought to herself as she flew right after it. She flattened herself against her broom and focused on catching up to teh Bludger. She was so focused on getting to the Bludger that she had avoided that she didnt see the other one heading stright for her.

Once Stephy was closer to teh one that she was chasing she sat up on her broom and throwing back her arm she hit the Bludger with all her might and a loud crack filled the stadium. She looked as teh Bludger quickly made its way towards Erika. She then saw that Kim was flying around in a dizzy pattern and then next thing she knew there was a pain shooting up from her right arm. "Ow" Stephy shouted out as she tried not to fall off of her broom but the force of the Bludger caused her to fall off of her broom but thanks to her quickl reactions she was able to grab her broom by her left hand.

"Now all I got to do is pull myself up" Stephy mumbled to herself. "Well maybe my scream will distract Erika" Stephy thought as she tried to swing her leg up but with no success. She then tried to raised up her right arm but then more pain spread up her arm. "Ow" she mumbled as tears and rain fell down her face. "I got to get back on my broom before someone sees me and tries to help" Stephy said. She didnt want someone to be distracted and try to save her giving the other team time to score.

((It appears I got the dates of this match wrong....oh dear.))

((Gryffindor Chaser))

Holly winced in Stephy's direction. They were rivals of course, but also friends. There was one moment in which Holly considered helping her, but as she was thinking about this, she found herself zooming halfway across the pitch- to the wrong side.
Swearing, she shook her head and controlled herself.
Holly glanced along the pitch, scanning for her fellow chasers. When he spotted one she zoomed downwards, so that she was behind Erika and Kim.

(Gryffindor Chaser)

Erika caught eye with the bludger. Stephy seemed to strain her arm.. She is a rival, but she was a person.

"Are you ok??" Erika shouted rounding the ravenclaw rings, the Bludger short behind. It grew closer eash second. "Help!" She called out, The more she pulled away the faster the Bludger would go.

Wide eyed she decided she needed to confuse the Bludger and pull away. She wanted to spin. She puled back and started spinning, it made Erika sick but she needed to do something.

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Kim saw that poor Stephy had hurt her arm. She winced. Erika it seemed was getting chased by a Bludger. Kim felt bad for her but knew she couldn't give sympathy and help her. That's what the game is about, she thought.

Kim heard Elana's whistle. She looked around and found that she was above her. Kim tossed the ball upward to her. She hoped Elana had a plan, cuz I sure don't, she thought.

Grimacing at Stephy's unfortunate Bludger-smacking-into-arm hurt, Elana tried to focus on the game at hand. It looked like their Beater could continue to play, but there'd be a b-e-a-utiful purple/blue bruise covering her arm where the ball had hit tomorrow. Kim had heard her whistle, and she deftly caught the Quaffle.

"Time for some tennis?" she asked, grinning. The simple yet effective move was usually done between Chasers flying down the pitch, but it would work well here, too. The goal was the same - confuse the other players while keeping the ball away from them. After tossing it back and forth a couple times, they'd be ready to score. She positioned herself before the right hand hoop and quickly threw it to Kim. She kept her hands open and ready to catch, hovering.

(Ravenclaw Beater)

Stephy once again tried to swing her leg up onto the broom but failed. "Ahhh" she said in frustration as she tried again then this tim suceed. As she swung her leg around, she had managed to hook her leg around the broom. Once she was sure that her leg wasnt going to slip, She swung her other one up to. Well now im hanging upside down. This isnt going to help much Stephy thought as she now tried to sit right side up. Using her right hand as little as possible, Stephy had slowly made her way so that she was sitting up right.

"AH HA" Stephy cried out as she "Now to go looking for more Bludgers" Stephy whispered to herself as she fly around the pitch again. She looked up and saw that Erika was trying to advoid the one that she had just sent her way and she knew that the one that attacked her was still flying around on the pitch. "When I find that ball Im going to beat the living snot out of it" Stephy said through her teeth as she tried to find teh black ball through all of the rain.

Kim nodded to her fellow Chaser. SHe flew forward and caught the ball. She pitched the ball and it headed for Elana's arms. Kim flew up right next to the hoops, about ten feet away. She showed she was ready for the ball.

Kim marveled over the fact that ever since she joined the team there had only ever been two Chasers. Kim didn't even know who the third one was. But Elana and her were a great team. They had simpe fool-proof plans, most of the time. Every once in a while playing Slytherin would take a turn for the worst...But let's not think about that, Kim thought.

Kim noticed that Stephy had got back right-side up on her broom. Maybe she'll find the Bludger. That may not be a good thing, she has a crazy look in her eye...uh-oh. Kim felt sorry for whomeverthe ball would go towards, they would be in the hpital wing...

Flying in a circle wasnt helping Erika, she had enough of it and let go of her plan. She decided to let go and drop. Erika was then to manuver away using her favorite move, "Slash". She flew down and pulled her self up chasing to get away from the mangy Bludger. She kicked off and swirved through the air gaining speed.

"God damn the kids who thought up the idea of jinxing rocks to fly around and hit people." Erika smirked. "Wait Erika pull yourself together, that is how Quidditch is and thats what makes it the greatest sport in the world. Now look for the Quaffle!"
Erika winced, she hated it when little voices popped into her head. The rain was lightening up and Erika scanned the Pitch for the Ravenclaw chasers. She had moved from one side of the Pitch to the other and she needed to go back and help protect her Quaffle.

This match is now closed.
