(Gryff Keeper)

::Swift bounced onto the pitch, extremely exhausted, but ready to play. She mounted her broom and flew off to the Gryffindor goalposts, which, she promised herself, to defend with her... okay, maybe not her life, but still. She was not going to let Slytherin win this match.

However tiring Quidditch was, it needed concentration and focus- none of which Swift had at the moment- but she would try!::

(SLYTHERIN SEEKER)

~Only slightly winded, and after a quick shower in the Slytherin locker room, Fated steps out onto the Quidditch Pitch once more, his head held high and his smirk more confident than ever. ~~

~~The look of triumph twinkling in his sapphire blue eyes. His blond hair still slightly damp but not as wet. His bangs, feathered slightly and fluttering in the breeze of the newfound winds of determination and strength. His skin glistening in the golden rays of sunlight. He is ready for this match. He is ready to give it his all.~~~

~~He slowly takes a look around the field and then jumps on his trusty Nimbus 2006 and soars up into the air. He waves to Jess and shifts his eyes to see swift. With a chuckle, it is clear that this seeker isn't going to give an inch. ~~~

"Good luck today, Swifters cuz you and your team are gonna need it!" he calls to her with a smirk.~~

(G Seeker)
::Pad went fly up trying to find the snitch.He was speeding throught the air on his FireBolt::

(Slytherin beater)


::Snape quickly mounts his broom and takes off into the air. He could feel it in his bones, this was going to be slytherins game!
He nods towards his team mates and quickly hunts for the bludger.::

(Gryffindor beater)

"US? NEED LUCK?! THANKS BUT NO THANKS!! on the other hand, I think you might need to duck, jesse!!!!!"

::WL had flown into the air and had immediately attacked a bludger, wrenching it towards Jesse, making it hit with a sickening crack!::

(Gryff Keeper)

::Swift watched with a grimace as the bludger made contact with Jesse's arm... that really didn't look too healthy. Really didn't. Maybe he should have learnt already that WL didn't need luck...

The Quaffle had been let loose at the start of the game, and the Gryffindor Chasers were throwing it playfully to each other, passing it to Swift every now and then. The fact that there were no Slytherin Chasers on the pitch yet seemed to hinder the game...::

(SLYTHERIN SEEKER)

~Fated feels the bones in his arm break with a sickening crunch, from the vicious impact of the bludger.
He winces as the jagged bits of bone stab up through his frailed skin. "ARGH!!!!!!!" He growls in pain.

~His arm now hangs loosly from the elbow down. He holds onto his broom with his good hand, closing his eyes tightly forcing back pain-filled tears. He grits his teeth and tries not to look at his sleeve that blood is now seeping through from the jagged broken bones sticking up painfully through his skin. He grits his teeth again and forces himself to look away.~

~He suddenly sees the snitch flutter by and starts taking off in a burst of speed after it, but unfortunately, as he closes in on it, his eyesight starts blurring, and he squints, trying to keep his eye on it.~

~But the snitch is fluttering around too much and Fated starts seeing black dots. He feels blood sliding down his broken arm and knows he has to get medical attention. He stops in midair, and glances as his broken hand. Blood tickles down, covering his wrist and part of his hand. He looks away again, his face twisting and contorting with pain.~~

~He starts feeling dizzy and lightheaded and has to slow his broom down, for he is having trouble even holding on. He finally comes to a complete stop in the air. He can hear muffled voices, and gasps as his vision blurs more and more...until...he sees nothing but black.~

~His eyes roll back in his head and he completely blacks out, slipping off his broom,he falls out of the sky~~~

(gryff beater)

::WL sighs and because of her twinge of guilt, she dives, and pulls jesse up by his good arm, plonking him securely on his broom and binding his broken arm in a splint.

"Now what have I always told you about Bludgers, young man?" she said sternly, almost bursting in laughter as jesse was reminded of his mother's "telling-off" voice.

"Stay away from them. If they chase you then get away from them. If they want to hit you, let them hit your foot because you need it least in Quidditch." he mumbled monotonously. Obviously, he had been throuugh this convo a lot!

WL then left him to his snitching and went off to get the bludgers. Once she had them both, she started to juggle them, waiting for a slytherin chaser to hit...she had already targetted the seeker.

She got so bored that she ended up whaking them to the slythering changing rom entrance, waiting for them to arrive...::

(Slytherin Chaser)

::As Kitty comes out of the Slytherin's locker room, she is nearly hit by not one but two bludgers. "Wow, someone must be in a good mood!" she calls sarcastically to WL. She then sees what all has gone on, and sees the gryffindor chasers tossing the quaffle around playfully.Kitty gets on her broom and flies up very fast. As one Gryffindor chaser is attempting to throw the quaffle to their team mate, Kitty intercepts it. She holds it tightly as she flies as fast as she can towards the Gryffindor's goal area. She doesn't see any other slytherin chasers to try a teamwork manuver with, so she flies up, up, up and over Swifty's head. She then swerves down and then throws the quaffle as hard as she can through the tallest of the Hoops. She scores the first goal for Slytherin.:::

"Yaaay I did it!"

::She waits for the quaffle to be thrown back into play.::

::Snape saw Waterlily juggling with a bldger, aiming for his team. he couldnt allow then. Swooping over her head he managed to grab the bludger and carried on flying before turning around and singleganger, backhanding the bludger back towards Waterlily, making way for Kitty to once again make her way towards the hoops::

(SLYTHERIN SEEKER)

~Fated was surprised at Waterlily's actions. First she crushed his arm with a bludger, then she saves him and helps tends to his wounds. He flies off to seek out the snitch, feeling much better.~

~His eyes widen seeing that now Slytherin's first chaser has arrived~ "Welcome back, Kitty!!!" He shouts enthusastically.
~He then notices something sparkling beneath Pad. It's the snitch. In a flash he's zooming over towards it, diving under Pad's broom, making the Gryffindor Seeker wonder what is going on. Fated watches as the snitch flutters to the right then to the left. He veers to the left, makinga sharp turn and zooms off after the snitch as it climbs up through the air currents. He can hear the whoosh of a familiar firebolt right behind him and knows it has to be Pad. Fated kicks up the speed on his own broom, determined to be the one to catch the snitch. But as he reaches out to grab it, it shoots straight up into the sky and into the thick grayish clouds collecting overhead. ~~
"Heh, you're not getting away from me that easily!" He snorts as he zooms up and disappears into the thick gray clouds.~~~~~~~~

(gryff chaser)

::Rip thought that she needed to score some goals to get ahead of the Snakes. So as the quaffle was being thrown to Kitty, she flew between the them, and caught the quaffle. he chucked it as hard as she could to the other end of the pitch, towards a fellow chaser, who was waiting by the goal posts.::

(SLY SEEKER)

~Having lost sight of the snitch in the thick clouds, Fated flies back down to his team members. He stops as Kitty zooms over to him and whispers something in her ear. (check your PM for what I whispered) And then he winks at her. She looks like she is thinking it over.~

~ While she is doing that, Fated looks around, taking a quick look for the snitch. But as it doesn't appear, he focuses back to Kitty. He's ready to execute the plan, but needs to know if Kitty will go along with it.~~~~

(Slytherin chaser)


::Kitty smiles to Fated, and nods as she thinks his team idea is a good one. She looks over a ripdogfather and sees the quaffle in the air flying towards another of the Gryffindor chasers that are waiting beside the Slytherin's goal. ::

"I'm ready when you are, Fated."

(I'm going to let you make the first move lol)

(SLY Seeker)

~Fated thumbs up to Kitty, and then grabs the neck off his broom and swings it around and then zooms over towards the other Gryffindor chaser who is about to catch the quaffle. He pretends to see the snitch and zooms up infront of the chaser, and starts flying around and around the chaser, distracting them from the quaffle flying their way.~~


"NOW KITTY!!! NOW! MAKE YOUR MOVE!!!!" ~He yells out as he does a new move called the 'Figure 8 Snake' flying technique.Doing a tightly curving manuver where he flies in a figure 8 pattern where the Gryffindor chaser is in the middle and Fated is going at a high rate of speed flying around in the shape of an 8.~~

(slytherin chaser)
:Kitty holds on tight to the top of her broom and flies up to where the loose quaffle is in the air.
She also does a fancy spiral flying move and catches the quaffle as she is flying vertical. Having it safely in her hand, She soars up then down and turns around sharply, swooshing past ripdogfather, and speeding to the Gryffindor goal.::

(SLY SEEKER)

"GO KITTY!!!!!!!! WHOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!" ~Fated cheers her on, glad to have her back on the team as Slytherin's lack of chasers was a hinderince(sp) He then stops zooming around and around the now dizzy Gryffindor chaser and smirks. "Gee, I guess that the snitch flew off, so sorry to have made you dizzy." He says as he flies away chuckling. He glances over at Pad who looks to be confused and can't find the snitch. Fated smirks. *Pad hasn't found it yet..* he then looks up seeing Kitty flying to Gryffindor's hoops. It looks as though Swifters might try to stop Kitty from scoring. Can't have that* He thinks. ~

~He spins around and zooms off flying right behind Kitty, then catches up where he is flying right beside her. "Kitty, I'll take care of distracting swifters, you go score for us!" He shouts quickly as he speeds up and flies in front of her. ~~

~A nasty smirk plays upon his face as he approaches the Gryffindor Keeper.~

"HELLO HELLO MY SWIFTERS!" he shouts as he flies right up in front of her. "My aren't you looking lovely today. Having a good day? How are you doing with classes? " ~He asks her a dozen of questions while flying in her viewing range, so that he is the only thing she sees. "Did I ever tell you that I can sing a song just for you?"

He notices that she is trying to stay focused, so he brings his legs up, and then stands on his broom, balancing as he starts to dance in place and singing a Quidditch Anthem;

"Ohhhhhhh say can you see,
that I'm glad to be me.
A true Slytherin I will stay.
And I will not run away.

I will stand and be proud.
and scream "SLYTHERIN" outloud
For my house that I love.
We're the snakes and you're sitting doves.

(His voice goes an octave higher)

With my broom in my hand,
Playing Quidditch in this land.
Through rain or through shine.
The snitch will be mine!

Oh say does our Slytherin house banner
proudly yet wave.
For the House of the Green
And the Snakes on the scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~He stops singing, sits back on his broom smiling proudly. Out of the corner of his eye, he can see Kitty approaching, and starts singing again to distract Swifters.~

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...."

(Slytherin chaser)

::Kitty gets distracted hearing Fated singing and starts laughing.
But she then gets her attention back on scoring and sores up and over swifty and tosses the quaffle right through the lowest of the ringed hoops:: "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I made another one!!" She cheers.:

(Gryff Beater)

::WL knew she needed to make Kitty slow down a bit. As she was so elated at scoring a goal, WL took the opportunity to thow a bludger, dyed red especially for this occasion from behind swift towards rip who, knowing the feint, went to try and catch it.

Kitty realised that she had to get a move on so she went right into the path of the oncoming Bludger-Quaffle. Just as they collided, Swift threw the real Quaffle to rip who soared down the pitch, having no real opposition and scored into the keeperless goals eight times while kitty was recovering!

The score was now 80-20 to Gryffindor!!!

WL hit the other bludger into the fray of green players absentmindedly, not watching to see who it hit. But she heard a loud thud and looked back just in time to see that a figure in green was falling fast to the ground...::

(reserve slytherin chaser)

After realising that, YET AGAIN there are a shortage of slytherin chasers in this match, mandragora rushes onto the pitch just in time to see kitty's fantastic goal. cheering loudly, she kicks of the ground and speeds towards the Gryffindor goal hoops, doing a few somersaults on the way.
she notices that the gryffindor chasers are getting dangerously close to the quaffle, so ,taking a leaf out of Fated's book, she flies close to the chasers and pretends to have a severe coughing fit. In the couple of seconds it takes for the gryffindor chasers to turn around and try to help her (far too nice for their own good) she flies directly at them and grabs the snitch. She starts soaring towards the gryffindor goal posts, clutching the quaffle, and is forced to do a few switchbacks on the way to avoid the GRyffindor's and a few well aimed bludgers 'can't you do something about the bludgers? she yells across to SNape'. suddenly, she notices all of the gryffindor chasers blocking her way. she dives frantically but they follow her, so she passes the quaffle quickly accross to Kitty...

(Gryffindor Beater)

::Grabs the snitch?!?! How did she do that?!?! Isn't she supposed to be playing with the Quaffle?! WL shook her head and concentrated on aiming bludgers at Mandragora and getting the rebounds. She watched in satisfaction as three out of 4 hits hit the mark and the other grazed. Now was not the time to play nice and she had to take out as many slytherins as possible!::

(reserve slytherin chaser)
after realising that she was holding the snitch- she must have accidentally caught it when she grabbed the quaffle- mandragora flies towards fated+ throws the snitch across to him. unfortunately, a beater collided with it and it went missing again...

In much pain from two bludger hits to the leg, which is probably broken, Mandragors swerves vitlently to dodge a third bludger, which grazes her arm, and rapidly produces a shield charm to ward of a fourth bludger. after deciding that there should be more fouling rules in quidditch, and wanting to pay waterlily back for the broken leg, she flies across to snape, who appears to have gone into a trance whislt weatching buterflies, she grabs his bat off him and whacks the nearest bludger towards waterlily with all her strength and watches while she sees it hit WL's right arm with a satisfiying crunch. (she feels slightly bad about this afterwards, but she could have been killed if WL had been allowed to keep hitting bludgers at her!) she then hands back the bat to a surprised Snape, and looks around for the quaffle.
seeing that Kitty had caught her earlier pass, and was now having some trouble with the gryffindor team (bnamely, they were trying to use a summoning spell to get the quaffle) , Mandragora flies towards her to try andhelp. Kitty executes a near perfect porskoff ploy and drops the quaffle to Mandragora, who then flies closer to the gryffindor hoops, aims and shoots for the left hoop, noticing that the gryffindor keeper is only covereing the right hoop...

(Gryffindor beater)

::WL throws her bat into her left hand and grunts in pain as her right arm breaks. Seeing the quaffle near the hoops, she uses all the force in her left arm to whack the bludger she had been hit with.

She aimed it precisely in the path of the quaffle so that it was hit spectacularly out of the way and into the capable arms of swift who had been changing direction as fast as possible to get to the hoop she wasn't covering.

WL gave swifty an "it's ok...i'm not dead!" wave and immediately reset her bones with a quick healing charm. Within nanoseconds, it was fixed and WL was speeding off to complete her mission of taking out every slytherin in the sky.::

:: Rip turned towards the goals, just in time to see the quaffle zoom through them::

"FLOBBERWORMS DUNG!!" she shouted. She then saw WL take out three Slytherins with one bludger, Mandragora included. She gave WL the thumbs up and collected the Quaffle from the keeper::

::Rip then conjured a huge 'imaginary' dragon image in the centre of the pitch, right where the two reamining snakes were flying. Now panicking, they flew round and round, trying to avoid the 'imaginary' flames. Ha! They fell for it. Those snakes really need to revise their notes on how to tell an illusion from a real object Rip thought::

::While the distraction was going on, and all snakes were doing Godric-knows-what, Rip zoomed to the goal posts and scored another two goals for The Lions:: (the keeper had been taken out by WL)

(slytherin chaser)

::Kitty catches the quaffle as it thrown back into play and she flies fast towards the gryffindor goal. She throws it but swifty knocks it away. Kitty manages to recover it and flies up, and throws it hard through the right hoop.Score!

Kitty doesn't waste any time as the quaffle is thrown back into play. She scores three more times and then as the quaffle is thrown in again, she ducks from ripdogfather who tries to grab the quaffle. She dives down then up, and circles around the goal area before pulling her arm back and letting the quaffle soar into the middle hoop scoring again.

When the quaffle is thrown back into play again, Kitty sees that Swifty is throwing it
towards rip, so Kitty flies up and catches it just as it almost falls into rips' hands.

Having it for the third time, Kitty flies back and tries to throw it through the hoop again to score but her aim is slightly off this time.: "I need to practice being a chaser more."

(Gryff Keeper)

::Swift caught the Quaffle as it bounced off the side of the hoop, thankful that it hadn't gone in. She threw it as hard as she could towards rip, who zoomed off towards the other end of the pitch. She had been overly traumatised by Fated's singing, and definitely did not wish to see it, or hear it, again. Especially when he was doing so in front of her face.

WL was whacking bludgers back and forth, but one of them had managed to free itself from her grasp. It came shooting towards the Gryffindor goals, narrowly missing Swift as it grazed the side of her cheek.::

"Ouch..."

(Gryff beater)

::WL raised her bat at swift, "Sorry bout that...i really need another set of arms and a new bat...!"

::WL then raced alongside rip as she pelted up the pitch, kitty at their heels. WL simutaneously protected becky from the bludgers, while sending them bashing into kitty, clearing the way to the goals.

::WL hovered back and took careful aim, as becky threw the quaffle. Mandragora could now either save the quaffle and get hit or let the goal and save herself...

Of course, she saved herslef, and gryffindor scored another fantastic goal!!!!!!::

slytherin beater


Snape watched as the gryffindor chaser flew towards the hoops, quaffle by her side. He wasnt about to let her score. Signalling to romance, they shot down the field, either side of swift, the bludger being passed between them as they got closer to swift. as the bludger was in the air, they both flwe forward and double doppleganged the bludger using backhanders straight towards the chaser, hitting the quaffle away from her and sending her towards the ground

(Slytherin Seeker)

~Flying like a mad man, he soars after the snitch, doing the "Snake of Salazar" move he zig zags and flies after the twinkling gold ball~~

~~WHOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHH~ He zooms down following it fly away. He kicks his broom into overdrive and reaches out quickly. He makes a grab for it. He catches!! His first grab is successful and the gold ball becomes clutched into his tight fist!!!Fated catches the snitch~~~~~~~~~~

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I GOT IT!" He shouts enthusiastically~~
