(GRYFFINDOR BEATER)

::WL shot off into the air, and without any ado, grabbed a bludger and with the precision aim of a archer, she whacked it straight into the midst of the hufflepuff chasers with as much force as she could muster.

::This enabled the gryffindor chasers to get the quaffle and shoot off to the goalposts!::

(Commentator)
~Our devilishly-handsome Slytherin Death Eater, makes his way to the commentator box, signing a few autographs and handing out his autobiography-"Death Eater Me". He then steps up and take his place, as the teams of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, walk out of the locker rooms~He taps the microphone wincing at the shril feedback~
"Testing, testing..hello can everyone hear me?" He then clears his throat, and grins as he begins to speak very enthusiastically~~~~

"GOOD MORNING witches and wizards and welcome to the 11th match of the 2nd season!! This is Jesse aka Fated4HP commentating, and we are here getting ready for what will be a most awesome event.
Today we will be seeing a most intense match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff! These two teams are going to be going head to head!! Yes sir, ladies and gentleman, we are going to see a wonderful Quidditch Match today! And I will be here to give you the play by plays as well as the best edge-of- your- seat commentary you've ever seen!!"
~He then clears his throat and sees the first player of the game.

"And there's our first team member for the Gryffindors, Waterlily!!! Yes sir, this girl is not only a Professor but she well skilled in this game-trust me, I know how she plays having played against her in the Slytherin vs Gryffindor matches- Ahemmm but anyway, this girl is a very quick and clever Gryffindor. She's got great precision and it looks like she's about to jump into this game."

~He then sips his water and continues commentating~

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, Madame hooch is stepping onto the field, and the quaffle is released into the air to start the game!"


"There's Waterlily shooting into the air and ohhhh she just whacked that bludger straight at the Hufflepuff team! Duuude, and what a forceful hit that was! Oh and now I believe that one of the Gryffindor chasers is going to be the first to get the quaffle!! Am I right??"

~Fated watches with anticipation as the quaffle is in the air....flying...~

(Gryffindor beater)

::Duck flew onto the pitch behind WL, who had got straight into the game and hit a bludger towards the hufflepuff players.

Duck watched as one of the chasers flew towards the goalpost, quaffle clutched in her arms. Suddenly, a bludger sailed towards the chaser. Duck flew over to it, and hit it out of the way, allowing the chaser to continue on towards the goalposts.::

(Gryff Kepper)

::Swift ran onto the pitch, in time to hear Jesse's announcement. She launched herself into the air, taking her place in front of the goalposts. She rolled her eyes at Jesse's sipping of his water- if it wasn't tea it was something else!

Drawing her attention back to the game, Swift followed the Quaffle with her eyes, determined to have Gryffindor win this match!::

(Gryffindor SEEKER!!)
::Pad jumped on his broom and shot up and started looking for the snitch. He went high and low and fliped and dived. But there was no sigh of the snitch. That little golden ball was not seen yet!!::

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie rushed on the Quidditch pitch and jumped on her broom. She kicked the ground with all her strenght and went up in the air. Two bludgers, she noticed, had already been hit toward two of the Hufflepuff chasers. Knowing that she couldn't hit both of them before they arrived to their target, Marie flew toward the bludger which was heading toward Ginny, and shouted to Flissy, who was being followed by the other bludger:

"Flissy, watch out!!!"

:Flissy looked up to her, saw the bludger and went out of it's way before giving her a thumb up. Then Marie flew to Ginny and hit the bludger toward Duckie:

"Hey Duckie, wanna play with me???"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

"I'm so sorry to prove you wrong Fated-I am really but I think the posession of the Quaffle belongs to a Hufflepuff!" ::Ginny shouted as she flew up onto the pitch, and began moving at top speed towards the Quaffle. Nearly there, she put in a final burst of speed, and caught it, avoiding a bludger while veering to the right. Carrying the Quaffle carefullly under her arm, Ginny lobbed it up into the air and caught it. She then lined herself up against a Gryffindor Goal Post, and put the Quaffle in the space between her foot and shin, so that it rested on her foot comfortably. She then proceeded to go backwards, letting the Quaffle fly::

"Just call that the Crazy Badger Kick! Patented by ~moi~" ::Ginny announced to the pitch with a laugh as the Quaffle soared towards the fair left goal::

HUfflepuff Seeker)

::Etta ran on to the pitch, swinging her body over her broom she jumped into the air and with kick off she soared. Her head was nodding as she waved to her team mates, yes Etta had a muggle MP3 on and she was quite content.

"Here Snitchy Snitchy, come to Aunty Etta," She called into the wind as she raced up and down the pitch admist lines of Sugar We're Going Down.::

::WL frantically caught up with the other bludger that marie and duckie weren't playing with and aimed it precisely at the quaffle, hitting it straight out of the path it was taking to the goal.::

::Thankfully, Hufflepuff were stopped from scoring and the quaffle landed safely in swifty's capable hands.::

::The Bludger Blockade worked like a charm every time.::

"Sorry swifty, you were too far away so I helped you a bit!!! I think that is quite good teamwork, don't you?"

::She high fived swift and flew over to act as back up for duck and to keep an eye on the other bludger::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Ginny frowned. Lucky shot... she thought inside her head. She just hit her broom into over drive and retrieved the Quaffle once more. Ginny flew by Flisan as she made to go for the Gryffindor goals again::

"Seeker Fake-out" ::She whispered the same to Etta. At the last moment, before she was within range to score, Ginny whipped around, grinning::

"ETTA! CATCH!" ::She flung the Quaffle at high speed towards Etta. Ginny ducked out of the way with a bludger, and then smacked another one out of the way with the tail of her broom.

"Ahem, leave me alone you little boogers..."

(Hufflepuff seeker)

::Etta grabbed and tucked, like she had done in traing and with a smile, she raced with Flisan at her side towards the Gryffindor Goal posts, taking the left hoop, Etta leaned backwards and lauched....nothing, she smiled as the Gyffs keeper looked at her stunned, wondering where the Quaffle was.::

(hufflepuff chaser)

:at that very moment, Flisan turned left from etta's side and tossed the quaffle (the REAL one) through the far left goal post, counting on the keeper's confusion. She smirked when it soared thorugh securely and turned back around to hug etta happily.

"SCORE!":

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Etta high fived Flisan and Ginny before waving at the rest of the team and flying back up above the pitch singing along to Bon Jovi Runaway as she went.

"Here Snicthypoo, come on snitchy, come out come out wherever you are....OI!" Etta shriecked as the snitch shot past her face, flattening herself down onto her broom, she pushed hard through the air, chasing after the snitch.:

(Commentator)

~Fated clears his throat and starts commentating again~~~

"Well there we see duck now hitting a bludger at the hufflepuff players...Ohhh there's swifters, our Gryffindor keeper and she looks determined to defend those hoops today!
And check out those fancy flying moves by the Gryffindor Seeker Madpad!!! Yeah, he looks ready to find that snitch! Oh and Marie has arrived as well and she has hit a bludger...ohhh ohhh right towards Duck!!! Ohhh she's a taunting little fireball today!
And and Whoa!!!!!!! There's Ginny and her sweet sarcasm, and wow Hufflepuff has caught the quaffle and she flying with it, look at her go! And she throws it towards the left goal will it make it????? I believe she calls that move the "Crazy Badger Kick?" a very nifty move that she made up."

~Fated raises a brow then spots the Hufflepuff seeker entering the game~~

"And here we have Etta, Hufflepuff's Seeker. Madpad better be on the lookout for her, after all she was able to pull a tricky move and get the snitch before I could last game. And let me just say that Pad has his work cut out for him today!! "
~he pauses to sip his water~

"And Waterlily causes quite an upset with her move of the Bludger Blockade!! Ohhh sneaky sneaky but successful and Waterlily takes a protective position near Duck.

Ginny's got the quaffle, she looks like she is gonna head towards Hufflepuff's goal and WHOA Wait she's stopped and turned around she...she's aiming the quaffle at The Hufflepuff's Seeker!!What in the name of Merlin can she be thinking?? Ladies and gentleman that was something very unexpected but...but...LOOK Etta is about to throw .....NOTHING???? But...where.....where is it!!!"

~Fated is out of his seat and scratching his head then suddenly spies Flisan~~


"And WHOA is that the Quaffle? Wait no it was a Fakeout !!!

And Flisan has the real one and she sends it through Gryffindor's far left goal!! Hufflepuff scores! What a sneaky play! Haha, how very 'Slytherin' of Hufflepuff!"
~Calms down a bit as does the crowd and he continues~~

" Alright now, Etta's lookin for the snitch, that little bugger is fast and darn near impossible to see when you're out in the midst of the game but she's gotta keep a steady head especially since she's up against Gryffindor's finest Seeker. Madpad won't give an inch, and Etta won't either. With these two teams anything can happen and I, your beloved Resident Commentating Death Eater, will be here to give you all of the awesome action, all of the awesome plays and the edge of your seat entertainment you've been lookin for!"

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie decided that it was better to stop playing with Amy and go around WaterLily, who seemed to be hitting a bludger toward her team members every minute or so. She flew toward the first bludger she saw and hit it hard toward the Gryffindor beater, though not aiming her exactly because she didn't want to hurt her.

Her plan kind of succeeded as the bludger hit the tail of WL's broom and made her dive toward the ground:

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

::Etta glared at Jesse for his comment on Hufflepuff being like Slytherin.

"We are nothing like...We're going down down in an earlier round Jesse lost the game for SLytherin, Etta stole the snitch and..... ARGH!" Etta sang as she flung her broom down to earth chasing fast hard and dangerously after the snitch, her song forgotten, her anger at Jesse lost, her snitch inchs from her fingers.:

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jenn flew out onto the field in a rush. "Sorry I'm late you guys!" She called out to her teammates.::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Ginny waved to Jenn and flew over to her::

"Hey Jenn, don't worry just glad you're here!" ::She swiped a bludger away with the tail of her broom, impateintly.:: "Nasty little things."

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

::Etta lost site of the snitch just as Jenn walked onto the pitch. Pullnig her broom into a left hand turn she swung past Jenn.

"HI!!!!" She said and quickly took off again in search of the snitch. Next to the Commentators box Etta realised the battery on her MP3 player had died. "Jesse! Pass me a spare battery!!! QUICK! it was playing Enter Sandman!!!!"::

(gRIFFINDOR bEATER)

::WL dove down to the ground with a bludger on her tail. She knew what she had to do...The Wronski Feint...

Yes, she knew it was for seekers, but she concentrated, then, just as she was about to hit the ground, she turned upwards and across, up-side-down over the bludger, comind up behind it and then dibbling it over to the chasers.

She carefully selected which chaser to hit and aimed, and then called duck over to do a double dopplehanger.

The bludger powered over to Ginny, who got hit hard on the side, the imapct knockling her cleanly off her broom.

::WL slowed down her fall but knew, regrettfully that she could do nothing more for her friend. Off the pitch, they were fellow professors...but on the pitch, they were rivals...::

(GRYFFINDOR SEEKER!)
::Pad saw the snitch, and went divin at it...it was right infront of the crowd. Pad zommed towards it. The snitch flew up and pad flew up just inches before hitting the crowd::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Ginny hit the ground, hard, and couldn't catch her breath. She glared up at WL who she could see flying about. Ginny picked up her broom stick, and gingerly got on it. She could think of many Slytherpuff (Hufflepuff influenced by slytherin) things to do to WL, but just kicked off from the ground and got back in the game. Her scoring would be her revenge.::

"Guess who's back and ready to shave these lions?" ::Ginny called out, retrieving the Quaffle. She flew up high above the center goal post and threw it down at a sharp angle. Ginny's perfect aim-she was the best thrower on the team-had, of course, allowed for a goal. Instead of celebrating, she snatched the Quaffle again-after dropping it once-, undeterred, she yelled out to her team::

"Come on Badgers! Let's not be beaten by a team of lions" ::Ginny tossed the quaffle to Jenn, who reacted quickly enough to catch it. She went over to the left side of the pitch, awaiting a possible move::

(Gryff chaser)

::Rip thought she ought to het back in the game. She cursed herself for stayiong up late to finish a potions essay. After hearing what Ginny siad, she went after Jenn, her only aim to get back the Quaffle from those mangy Badhers::

::She flew flat out, and punched the ball from underneath Jenns arm. She lokked for a fellow chaser to pass the ball onto, but both bludgers were heading straight for her. What could she do?::

"Aaaaarrrggghhhh!!"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Ginny decided to help Rip out with a little thing called the Badger Snatch 'N Grab. She moved above Rip, so that the tail of her broom was above Rip's head. Ginny bent over and grabbed the Quaffle out of Rip's hand. Using a burst of speed, she then shot over to the opposite end of the pitch.::

"Glad I could help!" ::Ginny called back to Rip::

"And we're back to the action, Marie whacks one of the bludgers and sends it sailing towards Waterlily, Ohhhhh if it hits her that is gonna hurt! Ohhhhhhhhhh and smacks the tail of Waterlily's broom and now she's diving towards the ground, can she regain control here? I tell you ladies and gentleman, Quidditch is not a sport for the faint-hearted. You get all kinda stuff happenin to ya out there. Whewwwww" ~wipes a couple of sweat drops away~~

"And there we see Etta, her flying form is a wee bit unsteady and I think she may be a little annoyed but she has to keep it together. Her nerves must be getting to her but it's too early in the game for that to happy. Patience out there, Etta!"

"Okay and as we look up we see that Jenn has shown up and she immediately jumps into action"

~He then continues~ "And we see right there that the two Hufflepuff chasers; Ginny and Jenn are exchanging a few words. Ohhh careful there, thankfully Ginny swats away a bludger with the back of her room. Keep on the lookout ladies, focus focus!"~~

~Fated sips his water again as Etta flies up to his commentator's box~~

"Oh ya need batteries? Okay, no prob Etta" ~Fated hands her some brand new batteries and she puts them in her MP3 player. He grins as he hears the song "Enter Sandman" He gives her the thumbs up. "Awesome song, but you better go look for the snitch, cuz Madpad is a tough seeker to compete with" He suggests~~Waving goodbye to Etta as she flies away he then turns his attention back to the game~~

"Oh Waterlily has just performed a Wronski Feint manuver! It's usually used for seekers but she's but it to good use for a beater! And whoa wait, what's she doing now??? She's signaling to duck and OHH They perform a brutal double dopplehanger and the bludger is sent hurling towards Ginny of the Hufflepuff team...It nails her right in the side! Oh no that impact has caused Ginny to fall off of her broom!!!!!!!!!! Wait what's Waterlily doing? She's slowing down Ginny's fall but....but she's still falling !!!! Clearly, Waterlily is focused on winning. Man, this is the brutality of Quidditch, pitting friend against friend, and going for the Goal! When I'm out there, I am there to win too and that is the kind of attitude that these players have to have in such a violent sport. Whewww....man we got some action going here today ladies and gentlemen."~

~Suddenly, Fated looks across the field~ "Whoaaaaaaaa look ladies and gentleman, if I can divert your attention to the Gryffindor Seeker. Madpad is two and a half broom-lengths behind the golden snitch!! And he is gaining on it fast! His hand is out and ....and...and....Ohhhhhhhhh he JUST missed it! WATCH OUT HE'S Heading fright for the cheering crowd and and ...whoaaaa that was close. Madpad is one wild speed demon and he pulls up just before colliding with the crowd. Ladies and gentlemen that is one NICE manuver and he is one tough Seeker! Wow...the action continues after these messages from our Wizarding Sponsors"~~~~

~Fated takes a short intermission to grab another glass of water~~

"And we're back to the action here at Hogwarts Experience Quidditch Game #11."
~Fated sips his water~

"And Ginny hits the ground hard!!! Owww... but look she's back up and there she goes flying right back into the game! That a girl Ginny! You keep focused on scoring that is the way! Now we see her...ohhhhhhh she throws and she scores!!!!!!! Gin's got the quaffle again and now she passes to Jenn..."

"Hey and there's ripster!! She punches the quaffle right out of Jenn's hands, and oooh ripster has the quaffle wait but Ginny recovers the quaffle now with a move called the Badger Snatch N Grab and she's flying off with it to the otherside of the field!!"

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jenn, mad at herself for not paying attention earlier, quickly flew to where Ginny was flying with the quaffle. "Should we get Flisan to do the Badger Den with us now?" she asked Ginny as she twirled on her broomstick to avoid oncoming flying bludgers.::

(hufflepuff Seeker)

::Etta flew away from jesse with her MP3 blasting in her ears, giggling as she saw Padfoot fall. Taking this chance she roared on her broom stick trying to pick up from where Padfoot left off. Concentrating hard she spotted the snitch and chased after it with all strengh, her broom vibrating underneath her as she pushed herself forward.:

::Rip cursed at Ginny and just about avoided the bludgers. She did a sharp about turn and zoomed after Jenn. This match was going to be harder than she thought. Rip planned out her next move quickly and looked around for signs ofher fellow chasers::

::Rip got ahead of Jenn and turned to face her. Rip was now flying backwards, face to face with Jenn. Rip pulled back her fist and sent it souring towrds Jenns face. She stooped a centimetre from her nose. But Jenn's reflexes kicked in early and she jerked beck, Quaffle slipping through her fingers. Rip gave her a 'smile', snatched the falling Quaffle, and flew past a rather stunned looking Jenn::

"Never heard of the Transylvanian Tackle before?" Rip shouted over her shoulder at Jenn, "I suggest you read Quidditch through the ages."

But she can't becasue i have got it out if the library at the moment Rip thought with a grin::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen smiled at Rip and nodded toward Ginny flying toward the goals with the REAL quaffle. Rip looked down and saw that she was not holding the quaffle but a cloth covered book. "Sorry, I must spend too much time in the library writing essays. But maybe you should look around next time before you attack me."

(G seeker)
::Pad tried again to grab the Snitch but still could not get it right that minute::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Ginny smiled and waved at Rip as she approached the goal. She pulled her arm back and fired. The red head smirked as the Quaffle soared through the goal with ease::

"BEAUTIFUL!" ::Ginny zoomed over to Jenn, still grinning::

"Brilliant idea you had, what should we do next?"

gryffindor beater.

"You're not gonna do anything next because...

WHAM!

a bludger is going to hit you right now...and this time...i didn't do it!"

::WL really didn't do it...the bludger was one she was chasing...she was GOING to do it...but didn't...

So once, Ginny fell off her broom once more, WL caught the ball on it's rebound and made jenn fall down too!::

(Gryff chaser)

::Rip laughed as she saw what happened to Ginny and Jenn.That'll teach 'em. Rip caught the Quaffle (the real Quaffle) from WL and flew over to her other chasers to form The Lions Prowl and Attack. They formed a line, strethcing form one side of the pitch to the other. They were facing the goal posts. The Quaffle was passed to each chaser and back again along the line. Rip was glad to see that all the extra training had paid off. The Hufflepuff chasers could not intercept the Qauffle, which was travelling at 800mph.::

::The Gryff chasers reached the goal posts, Cheery threw the Quaffle towards Rip. She spun her broom in a kind of pirouette, hit the ball with the tail end of her broom, and through the hoop it went!::

"Yes!"

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Etta was just mere inches from the snicth, Padfoot was on her tail, but he wasnt close enough, she tried to stretch but couldnt reach. Holding her breath she attempted the Seeker Twist of Fate and plunged head first off her broom, swotting the air for the snitch, but she missed and was left danglingly dangerously by one foot onto her broom.

"HELP!" She screamed terrifed as she tried to swing herself back onto her broom without any luck, her grip loosing, closing her eyes she prayed and screamed. "HELP ME!!!!"


Still clinging to her broom, Etta was stuck.:

(Hufflepuff beater)

:Marie, who was still chasing a bludger, saw Etta from the corner of her eye. Still flying very fast, she quickly turned her broom toward her friend in need and flew to her as fast as she could. As soon as she arrived next to her, she realized that, to help Etta, she had to use both her hands. She stared at her bat and then threw it in the air. It went high in the sky before falling back to the ground with a little "thump". Marie grabbed Etta by the wrist and helped her to get back on her broom safely.:

"You alright?" asked Marie, catching her breath

:But before Etta could answer, Marie noticed a bludger coming toward them. And she had thrown away her bat. Nice move! Thinking fast, Marie put her hand on Etta's back and push her so that she is flattened on her broom, but she didn't have the time to do it herself. The bludger came toward her at an alarming speed and hit her head. Marie didn't fell off her broom, luckily, but she flattened on it, making it dive toward the ground very fast:

(Gryff chaser)

:Rip watched all this with amusement::

Oh, how those Badgers have fallen!! she thought, as she scored another goal for Gryffinder by creating the illusion of ten quaffles flying towards the goal posts, which thouroughly confused the Huff keeper::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Grimacing and glaring, Ginny retrieved the Quaffle once more. She flew over to Flissy::

"We need to make some brilliant badger plays, and fast. The Gryffindors are under the strange impression they might actually beat us"

"But we WILL beat you!" shouted Rip, as she flew after Ginny in hot pursuit, while avoiding bludgers::

(gryff beater)

"Did someone say beat hufflepuff? D'you mind if I go one at a time?! OK!!!!"

::WL got into the spirit of things and hit bludgers repeatedly at lisa, jenn and ginny...she called it the Lion Dance. She was flying and hitting the bludgers on their rebounds so fast that the chasers had no time to react and as fast as they got back on their brooms, they fell off again...

WL grinned in delight as rip scored about five goals because of that Lion Dance Diversion!::

(Hufflepuff beater)

:Marie woke up a few minutes later, her head aching very badly, but not wanting to leave the game as Madam Pomfrey wanted her to.

She got up and walked, though dizzily, to her broom. She grabbed her bat, which was still lying on the ground. and jumped back on her broom, kicking the ground hard. Marie looked around and noticed Becky first. She looked pretty near to the Quaffle...

Marie flew to the first bludger she saw and aimed with precision. She grabbed the bat with both her hands and hit as hard as she could, sending the bludger fly toward Becky, who wasn't quick enough to avoid it since she hadn't notice it. It hit her and Marie watched in horror as she saw her falling from her broom. Fortunately, she wasn't too high in the sky, so it probably didn't hurt too much... she hoped.

Then Marie saw WaterLily too. And there was a bludger coming toward her. Marie grinned and sent the bludger happily toward WL, as Ginny, Jenn and Flissie were again making one of their awesome move and scoring repetitively:

(gryffindor beater)

::WL smirked...look again Marie, Hufflepuff haven't scored for a while yet!

She twisted around the bludger that Marie had hit at her and hit it with the utmost precision, right back and hit the tail of Marie's broom, making another Catherine Wheel in the air. Unfortunately, Marie couldn't regain control of her broom for a long time in which time, Gryffindor, who had becky back from her quick trip to the nurse, had scored a few more times!!!!::

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie finally regained control of her broom. She glared angrily at WaterLily and firmly grabbed her bat. She was not going to play nice anymore, and she didn't care if she could be compared to a Slytherin.

Marie flew toward the nearest bludger and without even aiming, she hit it toward the Gryffindor beater. WL received it in the stomach, making her do the same thing as Becky. She fell on the ground, unconscious. Marie saw Madam Pomfrey rushing on the pitch and others helped to bring away.

But Marie didn't have the time to cheer over this. As soon as she had hitten the bludger, her head had started aching very, very badly. Everything became blurry around her. She lost the grip on her broom and fell. She heard a few scream, and then all became dark before she hit the ground:

::Marie's injury looked serious, and medics were running onto the pitch. While all the Huffs were distracted with Marie, Rip scored another twenty goals. She new she wasn't doing any imaginative moves, but why miss the opportunity to score goals. She also knew that Marie would soon be on her feet again, so didn't fell too guilty by taking her misfortune as a chance to score goals::

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

::Thankful that Marie had saved her from a terrible fall and sacrificed herself inorder to stop Etta getting hit by a Bludger, Etta vowed to make her team proud. After checking that MArie was okay, Etta bounced off back into the air, and began searching for the snitch, almost immediatly she spotted it and took off like a scalded cat.

Pushing herself hard, Etta was flying directly above the snitch. Concentrating hard she quickly perfomed the Dip and Stick, flipping her broom upside down, Etta let go of her broom, her arms free, she cupped her hands together, just the snitch began to dive down to earth, without thinking, Etta let go of her broom all together and dived head first after the snich, her fingers where within touching distance of the snitch and with one swoop, Etta caught the snitch before landing safely on top of Flissan's broom, startling her team mate.

"Thanks for the lift, just drop me off down there," Etta beamed as she waved the snitch under Lisa's nose. "Told you i'd catch the sneaky little thing!"

Etta happily jumped off Flisan's broom as she landed on the grass below, jumping up and down, she began the Badger Celebrations....AGAIN!

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Ginny had grabbed the Quaffle and the ball was nearly out of her hand when she heard that Etta had caught the snitch. She continued her follow through, and the Quaffle soared through the goal posts-but she didn't care, right now there was a badger party!::

"ALRIGHT ETTA!" ::Ginny squealed as she landed clumsily on the soft grass-well not that soft. She ran over to Etta, hugging her::

"For a second there I didn't think we were gonna make it-but badgers don't give up!"
