(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Nancy saw Anthony racing toward the Slytherin hoops and saw that he was well protected throughout his journey there.

And then 1, 2, 3! Anthony shot the quaffle through the hoop and once more scored for the Ravenclaws!!

“Wooohooo!”

(Slytherin Beater)

Jess sighed on the field, wondering if she should wait for Racey to put the quaffle back in play, before she took action or go ahead with it now.
She decided now, and went looking for a bludger. As she spotted one she zoomed towards it and hit it against the wind at an angle, making the bludger promptly go back towards Nancy.

(Commentator)

June watched agape as the Ravenclaw team worked together to help Anthony score. Wow. If there was one thing the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team rocked at, it was teamwork. She opened her mouth. "With help from the zig-zagging Rigby and the Ravenclaw Beaters, Anthony has scored once more for Ravenclaw!"

The cheers and boos had started even before she'd finished her sentence. June felt that she should say more... but there really wasn't much else to say. She sighed, feeling useless.

(Slytherin Keeper and Captain)

Cautiously Raistlin observed Ravenclaw getting back to action “I clearly don’t see the point of such protections when there’s no Chaser of our own to go and try steal that bloody Quaffle, well if their keeper plays with quaffle they might think I’d do the same…”

Slightly annoyed Raistlin focused his attention on the two beaters surrounding Anthony protecting him and then wacking two bludgers at him. He wouldn’t be able to dodge both bludgers and avoid the quaffle of getting in but he wasn’t in the mood to get hit that early in the game.

Cursing the Ravenclaw Chasers Raistlin quickly got on his feet above his broom and when the bludgers were almost catching him he jumped performing a flip flap. Raistlin was very light for a keeper which helped on situations like that.

In the middle of it he saw the two bludgers passing as long as the quaffle after he tried to grab it but it was out of reach. When he landed safely on his broom again he heard the sound of the goal. “Curse them all!” he muttered.

Raistlin saw Nancy once again grabbing the quaffle “Seriously!” he thought. Meanwhile Jess was on a fierce fight with the two Ravenclaw players “C’mon Jess just hold on I know you can do it” he silently prayed.

Suddenly out of nowhere Raistlin saw Rigby charging against him quickly he reached for the wand inside his robes (like hell he’d go anywhere without it) but before he had fully withdrawn it Ribgy stopped and left of my vision giving space to a free of marking chaser to send a quaffle at the Slytherin goal poasts. The right one when he was near the left.

From the other side of the field he heard Nancy cheering along with the Ravenclaw crowd. “Rigby you pull one of those to me again and I might lose control…” he whispered.

He saw Jess waiting for him to throw the quaffle into the play again. Raistlin went for it and gave it to the referee to send it to the game again. Raistlin looked at the judges workbenches and smiled. Calming himself again he waited for another crazy play of the Ravenclaw team…

(Slytherin Beater)

Jess sighed and annoyed by the many points scored, she hit a bludger randomly, and amazingly it hit the quaffle, sending it soaring towards slytherins goal hoops. She almost fainted at the site of the quaffle going towards Slytherins hoops again.

Just what Slytherin needed, another goal, only this time, it would be the fault of its own member! She held her breath hoping her keeper could stop it before it went in.

(Slytherin Keeper and Captain)

Raistlin was paying attention to the Ravenclaw players when he realised the red quaffle flying to the Slytherin hoops "What the hell..." he mumbled having not seen a Ravenclaw player with it, then he noticed Jess and the look on her face didn't need explanations

"JESSICA ANN BELL!" he shouted in anger.

Luckly the quaffle wasn't going that fast so he was able to send it towards the other side of the pitch with a wack of his broomstick.

The Quaffle went soaring aimlessly. He heard the Slytherin crowd sighing in relief.

(Commentator)

June yawned. Glancing at the ground of the Pitch, she wondered whether Madam Pomfrey would give her some Pepperup Potion. Oh well... the mediwitch was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, her head popped up as she heard the Slytherin spectators all gasp collectively. Huh? The quaffle! Eyes wide in surprise, June watched as the quaffle, thrown by no one, hurtled towards Raistlin and the Slytherin goals. Peeves, maybe? She doubted it.

"It seems as if the quaffle has taken on a life of its own... and is heading towards the Slytherin goal posts. Wait! Actually, it was accidently hit by Jess, a Slytherin Beater. Hopefully, it'll be blocked... and if it isn't, then hopefully it won't count as a goal."

June held her breath, watching the quaffle's path with wide eyes. Please please please please.. no no no no....

"Yes!" June cried aloud. "The quaffle has been blocked by Raistlin, and is flying across the pitch!"

(slytherin Beater)

Jess, though she was relieved by the expertiese blocking that racey had done was fuming a little, for her own captain, not knowing her last name was RIDDLE not BELL. She yawned and headed for a bludger, this time aiming for a person- and hit it straight at Elana.

(RAVENCLAW BEATER

Jess had been right- she couldn't avoid every Bludger.

The Bludger sent at Elana by the Slytherin Beater came at her fast and strong, and by the time she had heard the distinctive wooshing of a Bludger whistling through the air above the noise of the crowd, it was inches from her broom. She only had time for her eyes to widen in suprise before the Bludger smacked into the front of her broom. Elana let out a small shriek as she literally fell head over heels off of her whirling broomstick.

As she dropped through the air, glad to have been so far up so that someone would have a chance to save her, she frantically looked around for a fellow Raven. Knowing she daren't look down lest she want to make herself sick with the height (of lack of) and speed of her fall, she thought, Come on guys...HELP! That last bit came out of her mouth in a squeak, but she saw racing towards her a flash of blue. Oh thank god! Rescue was on its way and so Elana sighed a breath of relief.

(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Nancy continued to watch the game hovering on her firebolt in front of her goalposts. Her eyes widened as she saw Elana get hit by a bludger whacked hard by Jess. She followed Elana’s reaction closely with her eyes and then shrieked as she saw her start to slip off of her broom.

“I’m coming Elana!!!!!”

She yelled and then set her broom forward, racing as fast as she could to her friend. It was then that she saw the bludger heading toward her and dropped altitude just in time to avoid it's wrath. She could feel her heart rate start to quicken as well as her breath. She then caught up to Elana and not a moment too soon!

With a quick downward sweep she got directly under Elana and caught her on the back of her broom.

“Hold on tight!”

She told her and then continued downward to land Elana safely on the ground near where her broom had fallen.

“I have to get back to the goalposts!”

And with that, Nancy kicked hard off of the ground and zoomed to regain her position back in front of her hoops. It was a good thing no Slytherin chasers were on the field yet but, even if there was, a friend and teammate’s safety was more important than a lost goal.

{Ravenclaw Seeker}

Rigby took a moment to celebrate the Ravenclaw goal, but now it was time to get back to snitch hunting. First things first though, she withdrew a tissue and blew her suffering nose. The sound was loud and caused a Ravenclaw first year to cry out, thinking that Rigby had been attacked by a wild goose. Rolling her eyes, she flew over to him and assured him that she was okay.

Now that she was able to breathe a bit, she turned her attentions back to the chase, flying high, searching for a glimpse of the snitch. She was also keeping an eye out for the Slytherin seeker. She had never played against her before, but being a rookie didn't necessarily make her any less of a talented seeker.

Finally the snitch made itself known, buzzing by her head. She took off in pursuit. Rigby raced to keep up, knowing that she had to get as close as possible in order to block any opponents. Careful to keep an eye out for bludgers, she bobbed and weaved, making a difficult target of herself.

The golden orb glinted in the sun, winking and beckoning her onwards. Soon Rigby had caught up to it, and the two began the complicated dance between seeker and snitch.

(Slytherin beater)

Jess who had been watching the VMA'z on her ipod danced on her broom and headed for a bludger, still dancing she hit a bludger towards Nancy, knowing that Elana needed a break from flying balls.

As the bludger soared towards nancy, the silly beater rode over to where june was, wondering if the comentator.. could play some cool VMA music to spice up the game... "GO SLYTHERINS!" she said as she passed the stands of screaming fans, and amber......

(Slytherin Keeper and Captain)

More alert than ever Raistlin zoomed around the goalposts. He was missing his beater days looking at Jess but he knew he should stick as keeper for the time being.

"C'mon Jess let us see some blood!"

(slytherins most annoyed beater)

Jess grumbeling from her bad day zoomed after the nearest bludger and hit it with full force towards Jimmy. she watched the ball fly through the air, but still her arm ached to hit something else.

She zoomed to the other bludger not caring to see what happened with Jimmy and the bludger, She hit this one with as much force as she could muster at Elana.

She still didnt feel any better, and angrilly she zoomed around the pitch!

(Commentator)

June looked up as Jess flew to her. Hmmm.... There must be somewhere on this microphone to plug her iPod in... somewhere.... Aha! "Thanks Jess," June told the Slytherin and pluged the iPod in, as the girl flew away. She smiled as the crowd cheered, the music cheering them up.

"It looks like Rigby has seen the snitch!" June called over the music. "Jess, for Slytherin, has just hit two bludgers at Elana and Jimmy...and Raistlin's looking remarkably peppy as he zooms around the Slytherin goals. Maybe he overdosed on some of Madam Pomfrey's pepper up potion?" ... The potion which she REALLY needed right now.

(Ravenclaw Chaser)

Anthony wasted no time after he had scored again, he would immediately turn his attention back onto the quaffle. Only he was unable to spot his target. Green eyes darted back and forth across the pitch, the action was breath taking, each team speeding around in a mesmerizing ballet of athleticism. Not allowing himself to get too distracted he continued his search for the quaffle, and out of the corner of his gaze he would spot a red glint soaring fast behind him. With a tight grip on the handle of his Firebolt he gave a swift jerk and turned around, instantly rocketing forth, heading straight towards his target. Only to his suprise he would see it heading straight for the Slytherin hoops. Wondering who had attempted to scoree Anthony looked around, and no one from his team was near enough to have attempted the shot. However by the shout of the Slytherin Keeper Raistlin towards his beater Jess, he assumed she had accidentally hit it herself. A small shrug of his shoulders followed as he relented his speed and watched, hoping maybe it would soar through a hoop, and counting as a goal for Ravenclaw. No such luck however as the Keeper blocked it, sending the quaffle soaring back out and over the pitch.

Wasting no time Anthony shot out after it, keeping an eye out for Jess as she relentlessly chased down and whacked bludgers left and right. She didn't seem to be aiming them at him so he kept his attention focused primarily on the red sphere as he chased it down. The wind beat against his skin, his blue and bronze robes flapped violently as he raced at mind blowing speed. A small shriek would cause him to divert his attention for a moment and looking back over his shoulder he would see his teammate and Beater elite Elana plummeting towards the earth, being dislodged from her broom. Every muscle in his body tensed as he halted his his advance, readying himself to make an attempt as rescuing her. But before he could set his course Nancy was one step ahead of him, already speeding down after her. Gripping his broom so tightly his knuckles turned white in color, his breath had ceased staying trapped in his lungs as his eyes widened with anticipation. Watching as Elana drew closer and closer to the ground. Nancy pushing the limits of speed as she raced towards her. In the next moment a sigh of relief rushed over his tense form as Elana had been saved by thier Keeper Nancy. Realizing he had wasted precious time he turned his attention back to the quaffle and took off.

Barrel rolling to the left he would come periously close to the stands as he smiled at the screaming fans as he whizzed by. The boos from the Slytherin fans mixing with the cheers for those who were cheering the Ravenclaws on. A rush of determination coursed through his veins as he made straight for the quaffle that he was gaining ground on by the minute. With the crimson sphere making a sudden change in direction Anthony followed suit by swerving back out to the right, his hand outstretched fingers inches from closing around his target. Spurring his Firebolt on his hand wrapped around the quaffle. Before he could bring it in and secure it a sharp pain rushed up his side, the air in his lungs being forced out as a wail of pain emanated from his lips. A faint cracking noise could be heard, as a few his ribs were broke. His outstretched arm instantly jerked back into place, his forearm resting acrossed his chest as he sat humped over his broom. His breath was short and each one sent a tinge of pain through his body. His expanding lungs pushing up agains the broken bones of his ribs. Pushing the pain from his mind, Anthony spurred forth, once again trying to get a grasp on the quaffle.

(RAVENCLAW BEATER)

"Thanks for saving me Nancy!" Elana called up after her friend with a slight chuckle. She staggered over to her broom, dizzy, and had to wait a moment for her head to clear before mounting her broom and heading back up into the sky. She pouted as she felt the now splintery front of her broom with a gloved hand. Sighing, Elana made a mental note to stop by the Quality Quidditch supply store the next day to get some supplies to repair her broom with.

She had not been up for long, however, before another Bludger was sent her way. Not this time, she thought fiercely as she brought her Beater's bat back to strike. Eyes darted around the pitch in the moments she had before the Bludger smacked into her, trying to locate an opponent. Spying Jess, Elana whacked the Bludger back at the Slytherin Beater.

(Slytherin beater)

Jess danced at the music june had put on. But before she had time to react a bludger hit her broom with a loud WHACK, she felt herself spinnng out of control and felt the breath knock out of her as she bammed into another set of green and slytherin clothes (the body.. attatched with it unfortunately.) She groaned, feeling herself slip slowly off her broom.....

[Ravenclaw Chaser]

Lily had been shocked by the lack of presence the Slytherin quidditch team had. Of course Ravenclaw wouldn't ease up on them in the least - that was for sure. Glancing around the pitch she would watch the game seemingly unfold before before eyes. At the sound of shrieking her chocolate brown eyes were drawn to that of her beaters pummelit steadly to the ground. Luckily Nancy had been there to save her. From there she would see Jess's folley and from that Anthony's meeting with yet another bludger. If Lily didn't know any better she would say there were more than two bludgers on the pitch that night. Bathed in moonlight she would glance towards the stars trying to form a last minute play in her head. Come on Lily - think!. And just like a lightbulb a plan formulated in her head - bingo!

"Ravenclaw's regroup!"

Lily would give the signal and hopefully they would catch on and follow her lead. First thing first - get the quaffle! Eyes like an hawk she would fly around the pitch, urging her broom forward as she kept her eyes out for the quaffle. Where was that blasted thing! Ah ha! There it was! Quickly Lily would zoom towards the right side of the pitch as she inched her way closer towards it - just a little further! It was falling slow but she was still too high. Thinking quickly she crossed her feet at the ankles and allowed her body to throw towards the side. Her ankles allowed her to dangle from her broom as her arms hung above her head to catch the quaffle qnd snatch it out of the air.

"Got it!"

Now it was time to get right side up. Using her ankles to pull down on her broom she would somehow manage to pull her broom and sweep it under herself as she flipped rightside up. Lily would sit promptly on her broom as she kept hold of the quaffle and zoomed off to the Slytherin end of the pitch.

(Slytherin Keeper and Captain)

Raistlin watched rather amused Anthony's pain though cursed under his breath when he kept persuing the quaffle "Don't they ever give up?"

Then Raistlin watched in awe as the bludger hit Jess and she started to spin heading towards... him!

"Meh!" he let out in a sigh.

Raistlin focused his eyes on the spinning broom. When Jess was close enough he grabbed the broomstick. The impact make him slip a bit on his broom "Bloody Unicorns!" he cursed.

As soon as the shock of the impact pass through all of his body he was able to sit straight again and help Jess to get on her broom.

"Will you please pay attention?" he said before releasing her.

Raistlin focused his eyes on Anthony again but he saw that Lily had gained possession of the quaffle. His body become rock rigid again as he waited for the Ravenclaw chaser

(slytherin beater)

Jess growled, "Im surprised you said please" She hmphed flying away and quickly going for a bludger, she looked from the girl she wanted revenge on (Elana) to the girl who had the quaffle (lily) which pretty birdie.. to take out her frustration on...

She swung her bat back and hit the bludger as hard as she could, straight for Lily.....

(Commentator)

"Watch out Rai!" June called as she gasped, watching Jess spin towards him. She let out the breath she hadn't known she was holding when the Keeper caught her broom. Suddenly, June's attention was diverted as Lily called out "RAvenclaws regroup!"

Hmm... "The Ravenclaws look like they're about to try out a new play... I wonder what it is. Lily, Ravenclaw Chaser, now has the quaffle and is flying towards Raistlin, the Slytherin Keeper. Oh! Jess has just hit a bludger at her!"

(RAVENCLAW BEATER)

"Ravenclaw's regroup!" Elana heard their Captain call. Directly after that came a whack of a Beater's bat against Bludger, and Elana whipped around to see a Bludger streaking across the pitch towards the Quaffle-bearing Lily. Elana laid flat against her broom and zoomed away to intercept it.

It would be close- Elana prepared herself to, as the saying goes, take one for the team -but there was no need. She had raised her bat to strike by the time it was within reach, and with a mighty CRACK it flew ahead, towards the goals. The Beater tore off after it, careful to keep it only an arm's length away in case it decided to change direction, and they raced alongside Lily as she got to the goals.

"Hello there Rai," said Elana with a sugary sweet smile before whacking the Bludger at him and diving down to get out of the way of the Quaffle that would be thrown momentarily.

(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Nancy smiled as she saw Lily take control and heard her yell regroup! Immediately Nancy, seeing that Lily had now just gotten the quaffle, dared to leave her spot in front of the hoops.

In a quick flash Nancy guided her broom forward, steadily and swiftly and caught up to Lily. Looking to her other side, she now saw Elana. She would be there to protect their chaser as long as she had the quaffle in her possession. Nancy with her body and Elana with her beater's bad.

Lily nearly avoided a collision but made out nicely with a spectactular broom roll. One so great to watch, she couldn't help but grin at her best friend.

Carefully she continued her flight along with her other team mates, being careful not to cross the half way point on the pitch. She would remain by that invisible line. Green eyes focused on her surroundings and out for any on-coming bludgers.

(Slytherin Beater)

Jess raised her eye brows at Nancy moving forward as a bludger was launched at racey, "Oh no they dont, trying to distract him eh?" She went off full speed racing the bludger and readying her bat. There were two possible ways to do this, She could hit the bludger away from him, and momentarilly collide with him, or let the bludger hit him.... She chose the first, and let go of her arm sending the bludger straight back to its previous hitter, Then she made a sharp 90 degree turn going straight up in the air, leaving Racey with a Full view, of not only the quaffle, but the birdies that possess it.

(Slytherin Keeper and Captain)

Raistlin looked suspiciously at the three Ravenclaw players coming in his direction.

Then Elana released a bludger at full might in his direction He knew he would either have to dodge the bludger or to take it like a man and keep an eye on Lily.

Fortunatly for him Jess took care of the blidger but then he worried if she was coing to colide with him again, but that didnt happend.

"Well done Jess!"

Raistlin was now ready fir Lily!

(slytherin beater)

Jess smiled at herself, and watched to see what the ravenclaws, could pull off after there little diversion attempt had been shattered.

(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Deciding she better get back in front of her hoops, Nancy spun her broom around and started to fly back to the Ravenclaw side of the pitch. There were bludgers flying everywhere and she had to make several zig-zag style turns to avoid getting hit.

Once she safely arrived in front of the hoops, she turned herself around. With her game face on she watched the action across the pitch and hoped that Raven would be able to score once more.

(Slytherin beater)

Jess eyed Nancy, as the little bird flew back to her position, and smiled continuing to watch what the chaser and beater of Ravenclaw team could cook up.

[Slytherin Chaser]
Ame ran to the quidditch pitch as fast as she could. She had just returned to HE from a weekend vacation. She entered the dressing room and promptly changed into her robes. With a quick glance in the mirror, she realized that she needed to pull her hair up or it would be flying in her face the entire game. She pulled back her jet black hair into a low pony and twisted the hair tie from her wrist around it to secure it in place. She slammed her locker shut and headed towards the door to the pitch. Her broom was haphazardly leaning against the wall, so as she walked by she quickly bent down and wisked it in her arms. She dashed out into the morning sun and shielded her eyes so she could get a look around. She saw both teams out in full force. It was a heated game already so Ame decided to jump right in. She gave a quick wave to Raisty and Jess, as she mounted her broom and took off to find the quaffle. She quickly spotted it in the arms of Lily, who was headed straight towards the Slytherin goals. Rasity and Jess were doing their best to thwart the Ravenclaws plan and for the most part it seemed to be working. Ame hugged her broom tightly and zoomed off to help her team. In a flash she was coming up besides them and hovered so they could come up with a game plan.

They decided that Ame needed the quaffle, Jess needed to inflict some pain on the birdies and Rai needed to head back to our goals in case our plan didn't work out.

This was it...Ame decided the only way to get possesion of the quaffle was going to be by using her brut strength. Ame grabbed ahold of her broom so tight her knuckles were turning white. She put on her mean face and took a deep breath. Then with out warning she flew as fast as she could straight towards the oncoming birdies. She was getting closer and closer by the second, and was getting more nervous as well. She knew she had to keep going, and get the quaffle. By the looks she was getting she knew it was time to do the deed. In one fell swoop, she ever so lightly turned her broom to avoid an actual head on collision and as she passed by the chaser with the quaffle, she threw a punch and stripped the ball free from it's holder. She watched as it flew quickly towards the ground, and was right on it's tail with her arms outstretched in hopes of catching it. She hunkered down and darted as fast as she could to catch up to the radiant red ball. She reached out her left hand and scoop it up and neatly tucked it into her side.

Ame was happy the first pahse of her plan had worked, but she still needed to score some points for her team. She could see Nancy guarding the goals and knew it wouldn't be an easy task. She wrapped herself tightly around her broom and sped towards the birdies goals. Ame started zig-zagging all over the place, but always keeping the same direction in mind. She was hoping to keep the keeper guessing as to where she would go next. She was soon quite close to the golden hoops and she realized she was going wayyyyy too fast! She pulled up on her broom a little too fast and this action sent her spining towards the goals. She felt like she had been caught in the middle of one of Oklahoma's famous tornados! She held onto the quaffle as tightly as she could. She could barely make out the hoops with her head spinning around and around. She tried her best to judge when she was passing over the tallest of the three, and mid-spin she released the ball towards the hoops.

{Ravenclaw Seeker}

Whilst in pursuit of the golden snitch, Rigby saw he friend Ame join the pitch. She had to resist the compulsion to wave at her, one because she needed to stay on the snitch, and two because Ame was on the opposing team. Now was not the time for chit chat.

The wind was picking up slightly, the cool breeze signalling the coming changing of the seasons. She could hardly wait for fall! The air envigorated her, making her feel more alive. She moved just seconds away from the snitch, ready to pounce the moment the opputunity hit.

(Ravenclaw Keeper)

Nancy watched as Ame flew onto the pitch and she quickly readied herself to gaurd the hoops. She knew Ame was a great Chaser but Nancy would be ready.

She wasn't surprised to see that she had gotten the quaffle quickly and she watched her like a hawk as she made her way closer and closer to the Ravenclaw side of the pitch.

Her eyes grew a bit wide as she saw the speed Ame was appraoching at and for a slight moment, Nancy thought she was going to crash right into her, or the goal posts! Luckily she had slowed down enough to be able to avoid a collision.

Nancy did her best to mimic Ame's movements. When she moved up, Nancy moved up. When she moved down Nancy moved down.

She was a bit of a distance away from the Slytherin chaser when she saw her throw the quaffle. Nancy sped up as quick as she could and had to lean very far to the right side, fingers outstretched to grab the in play ball with her fingertips. She managed (barely) to get the ball and save it from going through the hoop but in a sudden movement, Nancy slipped from her broom and began falling quickly downward in a spiral motion, the quaffle still in her grip.

"Help!"

{Ravenclaw Seeker}

Rigby followed the snitch, getting right behind it only to have it speed away. It was staying just out of her reach, frustrating her efforts. She pushed her broom harder, racing against the wind, passing the blue and green players so fast that it appeared as if they were standing still.

Closer now, inching forward on her broom. She stretched her right hand out, manicured for the Ra-Ra-Ravenclaw Ball that she would be attended this evening. She reached, but the snitch danced maddeningly away. Suddenly her nose began to itch.

Oh, no! Please, no sneeze! But Rigby's body would not obey, the sneeze was coming and try as she might, it could not be stopped. Desperately, her eyes squeezing shut as the sneeze took hold, she lunged forward again.

"AH-CHOO!" her sneeze trumpeted in the sky, just as her fingers curled around the snitch. Rigby had no time to celebrate, as a whole chain of sneezes racked her body. It took all her effort to stay on her broom. Finally the sneezing subsided and Rigby held up her hand, causing the crowd to break into cheer.

"Ra-Ra-Ravenclaw!" she yelled...and then sneezed again.

(Commentator)

June's eyes widened... and kept widening... and kept widening... until she had to double over, blinking rapidly, because of the lack of moisture. "Rigby Dumbledore, the Ravenclaw Seeker, has caught the snitch!!!!!!!" June cried loudly. Unsurprisingly, the Ravenclaw supporting spectators burst into cheers as their Seeker sneezed, the snitch tight in her hand. June grinned. "Good job Rigby!" she called.
