(gryffindor beater)

::WL flew onto the pitch and stuck her tongue out at Jess' little "Gryffindorks" jab.

She grinned evilly at pelted bludgers at the hufflepuff entrance to keep the team on their toes.::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen walked out of the tent doorway and took a look around. Her eyes widened at the sight of a bludger already coming her way! Holding her broomstick like a bat, she slammed the bludger away from her to the other side of the castle. That should keep it away for a while. Since the game didn't officially start yet, she wanted to see what it was like to be a beater. "It's kinda fun" she laughed to herself as she mounted her broomstick and waited for the rest of her teammates.::

(Gryffindor Beater)

::Smiling, WL caught the bludger deftly and waited for the whistle to blow.

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!"

Well...it blew and WL went straight off, knocking the bludger into jenn, and successfully preventing the quaffle from getting into hufflepuff hands.::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen was quickly hit with a quaffle swung by WL and knocked off her broom. Gripping her broomstick tightly with her hands, she swung a bit and made a complete 180 to get back on her broomstick such as a gymnast would.::

::Glancing around, she noticed that there wasn't a Gryffindor Chaser in sight, and the quaffle was starting to fall toward the ground. Zooming off, she leaned back onto her broomstick as she watched Etta (Seeker) do during pratice and caught the quaffle in one hand. Tucking it safely beneath her arm, she raised her broomstick high into the air and started toward the Gryffindor goalposts. Now gripping her broomstick tightly with two hands, she quickly flew in tight circles around the goal posts in a crazy manner. To the spectators it seemed as though she lost control of her broom. But this was the careful Badger Confusion play that they've been working on during practice. Suddenly while her broom was still flying around, she held the broom tightly with her thighs and flipped upside down. With quick precise aim, she threw the quaffle straight into the center hoop for the first goal of the game!::

(Gryffindor Beater)

::Amy wondered how Jenn had managed to hit the bludger with her broom, whilst still staying up in the air and keeping her broom in one piece earlier on in the game.

'Ah well,' she thought, 'now's not the time to dwell on that.'

And so she flew off around the pitch, bat in hand looking for opportunities to hit the bludger at Hufflepuff players. She saw Jenn approaching, and so swung her bat and hit the heavy black ball in her direction.::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen saw another bludger come tearing through the air toward her at an alarming rate. She flew low toward her broomstick to do the Badger Hide. Anxiously glancing around her for any sight of her teammates, she once again caught the quaffle.::

"Playing a game alone with two Gryffindor beaters isn't exactly the safest thing to do." Jen nervously murmered to herself. "I promised myself I would stay away and just study for finals but did I listen? Nooo...now I'm here playing alone.." Jen snapped out of her stupor and ducked just in time for yet another bludger to tear past her head. Jen flew toward to Gryffindor goalpost and tossed it into the left hoop. Now not caring whether or not she scored, she weaved through the air to dodge the bludgers Duck and WL sent her way.::

(Gryffindor Beater)

::WL stops to think. If there are no chasers, then who can score for gryffindor?

Well, since there was only one hufflepuff chaser, it couldn't be too hard to try and bludger her AND score with the bludger could it?

WL took the bludger that had rebounded from jenn, and got it to hit the falling quaffle up again. WL yelled for duckie to hit another bludger at the quaffle in the direction of the goal, while she went and caught up with the bludger SHE had hit.

After hitting the bludger, Duckie deftly caught with the bludger sent her way by WL and took it to deal with jenn, while WL dribbled the quaffle with the bludger and had fun scoring a few times, using her skills from the pool table in the air.::

(Gryffindor Chaser)

::Rip raced onto the pitch. "Sorry!" she called to her fellow team mates, "I was at the hairdressers" She jumped onto her broom and sped up near the goal posts, where she caught the quaffle from the Gryffindor keeper. She imediately flew off in the opposite direction. She easily dodged a couple of bludgers, and carried on zig-zagging up the pitch::

::She flew straight for the right goal post, but the Hufflepuff keeper blocked it. She made a swift change in direction, and saw the keeper start to move to block the left hoop. She changed direction slightly again, too quick for the Hufflepuff chaser, and scored. She punched the air with her fist, and went to retrieve the quaffle from the oppositions posestion::

(Gryffindor beater)

::There wasn't much for Amy to do, what with Jenn being the only Huffle on the pitch, so she glanced at WL, and communicated silently.

They batted the bludgers between the two of them until they were near Jenn, then sent a double attack at her before she could retrieve the quaffle from Rip.::

(gryffindor beater)

::WL felt quite sorry that they were picking on jenn, since she was the only one there, but she still went along with the plan, it was quiditch after all, and now they had a chaser to help them!:;

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen winced and laid her hand to her throbbing head for a few moments. Glancing at her watch, she wondered if there was a Hufflepuff party or field trip that she didn't know about. Taking a deep breath, she caught the quaffle once more and started toward the goalposts. Weaving her broomstick dangerously to avoid all the bludgers not to mention opposing players by doing the Woollongong Shimmy, she sped to the goal post.::

::Ducking her head to avoid other bludgers, she threw the quaffle at the left hoop. Her aim was off from not concentrating and hit the rim of the goal instead. Flying straight toward Jen, she flew her broomstick in a circle and hit the quaffle into the center hoop with her broomstick.::

::Knowing that if her teammates didn't show up soon, they would majorly pay later on in the house by doing ALL the homework to make up for this (AND I MEAN IT GUYS!!! LOL), Jen took a deep breath and continued with the game.::

::Deciding to do the Fallen Badger, Jen caught the quaffle once more and zoomed directly vertical into the clouds above. Kicking up her heels, she carefully held on tight to her broomstick and flew directly down from the cloud above the Gryffindor goal posts. As she approached the goal posts, she took her hand off her broomstick to toss the quaffle into the center hoop in a blink of an eye. Seeing the ground coming, she jerked the broom to the left to avoid getting hurt. Coughing as dust flew in her face, she used her sleeve to wipe it and flew to the center of the pitch.::

(Gryffindor chaser)

::Bex once again caught the quaffle form the goal keeper. She took flight immediately. We need to thrash those badgers! she thought. There being no other Hufflepuff chasers, it was easy for Bex to dodge Jenn (and any stray bludgers, but she had the two best beaters ever to help her there!) She quickly arrived at the goal posts and scored again for her team::

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie ran, or most likely hopped, on the Quidditch pitch as she was still putting one of her shoes on.:

"I'm late, I'm late, I know, I'm so sorry," she cried as she jumped on her broom and kicked the ground.

:She flew toward Jenn and stopped beside her:

"Oh God Jenn, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry," she said, looking sorry indeed.

:Deciding that it would be better to get on moving instead of apologizing every ten seconds, Marie flew toward the first bludger she saw and hit it very hard in direction of Becky, who, to avoid it, had to dive toward the ground, making her lose the Quaffle. Marie smiled as she saw Jenn going for the quaffle and, fortunately, catching it. She high fived her as she was going faster toward the goal:

"You go girl!" she said

(Gryffindor chaser)

::Bex scowled at Marie and made a sharp turn. She leant flat on her broom to catch up with Jenn. She cast a silencing charm on her broom as not to be heard. She flew up behin an enexpecting Jenn and punched the red ball from her grasp. She dived to catch and sped off in the direction of the goal hoops::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen grinned with relief from sight of another badger on the field.::

"That's ok! I'm just glad that you made it!" she called out.::

::Seeing that Rip stole the quaffle once more, she went tearing across the field after her. She made her broom go into a sharp turnin front of the other Chaser, hoping to loosen Rip's grip on the quaffle. Seeing the quaffle fall toward the ground, Jen hurried after it. With a swift dive, she caught the falling quaffle and pulled her broomstick back up. Feeling a bit more confident that she was no longer alone, Jen tucked the quaffle under her left arm. Taking a look around, she flew toward the goals looping in figure 8's to dodge the bludgers in the air. Taking aim, she carefully threw the quaffle into the left goal scoring another 10 points for Hufflepuff!::

(Gryffindor chaser)

::Once again Bex took the quafle from the goal keeper. The Hufflepuffs were catching up, so she tried her hardest to score as many times. She's just managed to score a hatrick, and was about to score again, when she felt a bludger slam into her back. She lurched forwards, lying unconcious across her broom::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

::Jen dove to the ground to catch the fallen quaffle. Pulling her broomstick up with her left hand, she watched around for people to help rip off her broom. Deciding to wait until she was revived to continue the game, Jen tossed the quaffle to the referee and flew down to the ground to find the rest of her absent teammates.::

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie followed Jenn and dropped her bat on the ground as she got off of her broom. She smiled at Jenn and went to Becky, who was being examinated by someone.:

"Ow.. that must have hurt..." she said, not able to think of anything else

:She gave Becky at thumb up and, like Jenn, she tried to find the missing members of the team. Where were they?:
