(Hufflepuff Beater)

Streams pulled her robes over her head, checked hastily to make sure they were facing the right way, and hefted her trusty bat as she strolled down the field. She grinned as the Hufflepuff supporters cheered her entrance, and stopped for a moment to flick imaginary dust off her shoulder.

Then in one smooth movement, she was midair and rising fast. She twirled the bat lazily as her eyes drifted over the pitch. Her granpa was already here she observed, but why wasn't he at the goalposts? No...it couldn't be...yes! He was holding a beater's bat! Ah, this was too good to be true. They could have a good old-fashioned bludger volley game if nobody else showed up. Waving merrily, Streams eyed the clouds on the horizon. It looked like it would rain soon.

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

::Dani skipped onto the pitch she heard the miggling of slytherin calls for 'Blood' and the Hufflepuff cheers of 'Streams'. The blonde Captain smiled and she stepped onto the pitch her feet only on the grassy green for a few seconds before the yellow clad girl lifted into the air on her firebolt. She waved at streams as she flew up.

"Hey Mummy, are you ready for a great game?" She asked her slightly bouncy mother.

She glared at Rai who was directly across the field, for some reason Dani had always hated Rai, he was so inferiating. It must've started around HEBB, Dani decided when her and streams plan of escape had nearly failed when Rai had rushed to tell Big Brother. Dani would never forgive Rai, and she doubted he would ever allow it even if she made the attempt.

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Etta heard the SLytherin's cheers for Blood from her office in Huffie tower. Throwing down her quill and glaring at her new master piece in the making she shuffled from behind the large cherry oaked desk, kissed DT who was sitting in his cage like a good Dr Who and went singing out of the tower.

In the locker room, Etta could hear the SLytherin supporters growing louder as she puled on her quidditch robes backwards. Picking up her broom she ran out on to the pitch.

"So give them blood, blood, Gallons of the stuff, Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough, Give them blood, blood, blood, Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood," She sang loudly as she zoomed past the SLytherin supporters and waved her bat like a woman possessed at her team mates.

With her eyes arrowed at her father, Etta kissed her bat for luck, then she began to giggle.

"Who did we play last?" she shouted to her team mates and then pointed to the satin red stain on her shiny bat. "I think they left me a pressy!"

{ Hufflepuff Keeper}

Kaitlyn entered the field. It was her second game ever to play in. She looked across to the opposing team and than put on her goggles. She mounted her new lightning bolt room and speed as fast as she could across the field to try to show some intimidation. She Went strait for the middle hoop and went right threw it. She than circled around the others and than went around the field three times. She than soared to her starting position and waited.. She was the only on around.. Only she existed.. the green and yellow dots in the crowd meant nothing to her.. She looked at the quaffle and and focused in on it.

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Dragon found herself sprawled under the Slytherin stands as she woke up to the sounds of 'Blood' being chanted. She muttered to herself as she dusked off her robes and slung her lovely broom that had been carelessly thrown to the side, over the shoulder. "Stupid twins and pranks, next time I find them hurting my broom I will-" she trailed off as a raindrop hit her in the head as she was setting off.

Shaking her head like a wet dog, she rose up in the sky and waved with her spirits lifted at the Hufflepuff stands. She flew a warm up lap around the the field and glanced around. There was Etta, Streams, Kaitlyn and ...Raistln who seemed to be glaring at anyone who went near. She hovered at the center of the field and glanced around and sighed, none of the Hufflepuff chasers had arrived yet.

(Referee)

Amy flew onto the pitch, her referee robes billowing around her.

Today was the first House match in a while; after Christmas break and Holiday Quidditch.

She hoped the Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's were ready for the game, as she blew the whistle and tossed the Quaffle into play.

"Let the game begin!"

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Etta, still singing loudly pounced on to one of the freshly released Bludger's, flying fast she swung her bat out and caught the Bludger hard on her bat.

Then she stopped.

The bludger bounced on her bat as her eyes scanned the pitch.

There's only daddy, and he has a bat, she thought to herself, wondering if it was a wise move to whack a bludger at the meanest of all Slytherins. What to do, what to do, she thought hard and then smiled.

Keeping her Bludger with her, Etta sat back and waited for her father to act.

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

::Dani waved at her newly arrived teammates, her smile plastered broadly on her lips. She heard a whistle and was thrust back into realilty where she was sitting on her broom arm waving madly and the qwaffle soaring over her head. She lunged upwards and caught the ball, and slowly flew towards the slytherin goals.

It really was unfair for the Hufflepuffs having hardly any challenge at the mo, Dani sighed and she saw Dragon not far away. She whistled to get her teammate's attention and beconed her over to where Dani was hovering.

"Dragon," she called. "Come on, lets have some fun."::

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Dragon snapped out of her nap when she heard her name being shouted ou loud. Rubbing her eyes and wobbling on her broom. Dani was beckoning her over and it seemed like the game had already started. Dragon flew over to where Dani was with the quaffle. She frowned and looked around and said to the Huffie Captain, "There's barely anyone her."

(Slytherin Chaser)

Katherine flew out to the feild as fast as she could. She was a bit late for the takeoff, but thought she could jump right in. Katherine looked around to see who was around, and who she had to really watch.
She looked around to see who had the quaffle, only to find that Dragon, the little hufflepuff had it.
"Shouldn't be too hard to get it" She thought, and started to fly twards her.
"Lets get this game started people!" Katherine said, feeling the soft wind blow her hair. This was where she lived.

(Huffelpuff Beater)

Etta's eyes drifted downwards as she saw Kathrine run onto the pitch, her heart sank as she realised her newest daughter was actually going to play.

Inhaling deeply and thinking fast in order to keep the Quaffle in Hufflepuff's possession, she knew she'd had to hit the bludger which was still bouncing on her bat without concern.

"Sorry," she whispered into the wind as she kicked her broom bucking bronco style and swung her arm up, the bludger bounced off the Beater's bat and zoomed back down to wards Etta with much force.

Holding her breath and using all her body strength, Etta smashed the bludger towards KAthrine, not stopping to watch the Bludger's movements, her seer sense told her it was stll on course for a hit to the young Slytherin, Etta steered her broom into a dive and flew closer to the Chasers on her team.

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

Rose quickly grabbed her new broom and ran onto the pitch. She had herd the sound of the whistle as the game began. Yes!, she thought, smiling. I'm on time, for once in my life. She flipped her black hair out of her face and swung the broom between her legs. She kicked off the ground and flew up to see what was happening. There was only one Slytherin here so far. Dani, Streams, Etta, and Dragon where flying around.
Rose smiled and waved. There was no Slytherin seeker, so she had a good chance at finding the snitch. Quickly, Rose scanned the sky, is search for the shiny gold ball.

{Slytherin Chaser}

Kaylee ran out onto the pitch, clutching onto her nimbus 2001, checking her watch hoping she's not to late to still be of use.

Why of all days did I have to wind up in detention today. It's just my luck to muck things up my first time out as a chaser by showing up late.

Scanning the sky she notices a whole lot of gold and black and the field and only two Slytherin robes.

As she mounted her broom she scanned the sky's, noticing first a Hufflepuff she didn't recognize in possession of the quaffle. Second she noticed Rai wasn't in his normal positions by the goals and was holding a beater's bat.

Maybe that was the switch up that Rai was mumbling about last night in the common room. I should really try to pay better attention.

Last she noticed a bludger heading straight for Kathrine.

"Kathrine watch OUT!" she screamed as she started flying hard in Kathrine's direction.

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

::Dani saw the weary Slytherin chasers hovering around Dragon like sharks, she imagined fins on their backs and gave a bark of laughter, which only resulted in a weird look that Etta was sure to be giving her. Or not. Etta's gaze was following something but it wasn't anything like Dani's weird habits, Dani saw the bludger and her heart raced. It was headed for Katherine at the moment but a quick glance at Rai made her heart leap, it might not ready its destined target.

Dani juggled the qwaffle in her hands as she had not yet passed it to Dragon (seriously I haven't), her hands played softly over the red surface. Her already easy smile was beginning to look strainned as if she was making a hard choice, however it was only a matter of timing. As Kaylee turned warn Kathrine Dani took off.

She failed to break her straight bee line for the goal, though she knew it was dangerous, as Etta was always warning her. But Etta's voice didn't penatrate this time, Dani made it with in three meters of the goal when she tossed the red orb at the middle hoop.

(I'll let the next poster decide if it goes in or not)

Zelda held on to her broom and watched the quaffle fly she was not going to let a Slytherin in her goal.. She watched it and appeared that it was in Hufflepuff possession at the moment.

( Hufflepuff - Keeper)

(Hufflepuff Beater)

: Etta narrowed her eyes and watched her team captain and friend take the risk of scoring. Lifting her head ever so slightly so she could see what was happening, Etta began to grin, the Quaffle flew high i the air until final the Ding from the goals rang out.

"Woohoo!" she cheered but stop at once. "Fee FI Fo Fum, i smell the blood of my next victim," growled Etta.

Dipping low, and flyig fast, Etta began to re-arrange her yellow and black quidditch robes, to make her fly faster and sharper. Sneaking up behind the second Bludger, the one which she carved her name into eons ago, Etta focused.

"55 degrees North, right angel and ...."

BANG

The shiny cold and blood stained metal of her titanium covered Beater's Bat connected with the drifting bludger, sending it hot on the heels of Kaylee, a new arrival on the pitch.

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

Rose squinted as Hufflepuff got there first goal. A smile etched on her face, then something caught her eye. She spun her head around to see the shiny snitch hovering in front of the Slytherin stands. She turned her broom in its direction, then slowly pushed it forward. She was moving towards it, but at a very slow speed. Her mind was completely focused on the little ball. It hovered there, as if mocking her. Then, it darted, and Rose was flying at a top speed, only a few feet behind it.

(Slytherin Chaser)

Katherine looked around. The game was in full swing, and she soon ofund she had posession of the quaffle. While all the hufflepuffs were distracted, she started to fly twards their goal.
"I can make it" She thought. She was gooing as fast as she could. Faster, faster.

[slytherin keeper]

~Nasha cursed profusely under her breath as she ran downhill towards the pitch. It would be her first day on the field during a real game and she was late. She could only hope that her teammates were keeping the quaffle away from their defenseless goals.~

~She finally reached the pitch and straddled her precious Nimbus before rocketing into the sky. She wobbled a bit, nearly loosing her grip, but regained balance and stood guard before the Slytherin hoops.~

"Let's just hope my guarding is better than my flying..." she muttered under her breath and let her eyes wander to the game unfolding before her.

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

::Once the qwaffle was thrown back into play Dani saw that Kathrine had possesion of it. How did that happen? she thought to herself. But she decided not to muddle her thoughts with the acts of idle slytherins. She brought her broom to an about face and shot off after the green and silver chaser.

Dani was nearing her quickly thanks to her firebolt, a wonderful gift from Etta, the bludgers and slytherin Beater were both busy so Dani's sight was only focused on Kathrine. She was within three meters of the chaser before she decided what to do. The internal conflict between just punching the qwaffle from her arms of simply waiting for Kathrine to take the shot then swoop up and nab it, was grappling in the back of her mind. She shrugged and settled for the first.

Dani was so close to the chaser she could smell something strawberry-ish maybe the chaser's shampoo. She shook of the distraction and lunged her arm forward, it connected with the red orb effortlessly, but with all things Dani did there was a consquence, the sudden lung was to much for her broom and body to handle. The firebolt bucked her off and sent Dani falling towards the earth's surface. However the qwaffle was only a mere foot and a half away.

Swearing Dani reached forward towards the also falling qwaffle and her fingers wrapped around it. The Hufflepuff glanced quickly at the ground that was rushing up to greet her like an eager friend, Dani looked for her broom but couldn't find it.

She would hit the ground in ten...nine...eight...

Kaitlyn looked to the site before her. Dani was falling .. Zelda waited.

( Hufflepuff - Keeper)

(Hufflepuff Chase)

She felt something hit herself on the head and saw strars and quaffles for a moment. Dragon rubbed her head as she skillfully caught the object that had hit her. Her eyes widened in surprise, it was a broom. If she was holding a broom, where was the person? Dragon rubbed he eyes to clear away the stars and spotted Dani falling. She shot down to the chaser with the firebolt tucked underneath her right arm.

With her left hand she grabbed Dani's arm (along with quaffle in tow) slowing their fall. "Grab on to this." she called and held out the broom that she had caught.

{Slytherin Chaser}

Still flying as fast as possible Kaylee heard a shout, "Kaylee you better...DUCK!"

Still not clearly thinking, she reacted by doing first thing that came to her mind and flung herself sideways off of her broom. Leaving her clutching onto her broom in mid air trying to avoid what ever would cause someone to yell at her to duck.

Just keep a firm grip on your broom and you will be fine.

Suddenly a loud CRACK resounds just over her hand, she can still feel the wind from the bludger grazing across her aching fingers.

Looking up she sees a beaters bat collide with the budger that just came within mere inches of knocking her out of the game.

Still not thinking quiet clearly she gracefully flings herself back onto her broom. Seeing that the bludger is now safely headed in another direction Kaylee looks around and sees Rai sitting there looking like he's missing something.

Rai must have been the one who yelled. Seeing as he saved me, I could be polite enough to fetch his bat back for him.

Quickly she aimed her nimbus 2001 almost straight towards the ground, slowing down just before she takes a face plant into the ground she stops and leans slightly over and picks up Rai's bat.

After retrieving Rai's bat Kaylee quickly makes her way level with Rai and tosses his bat back to him.

"Here you go captain, thanks for the quick thinking. I think it's about time we had some fun with these badgers, what do you think?" As she said this an evil grin spread across Kaylee's face.

Kaitlyn watched the whole seen in shock. She flew over just a little bit to get a better view of the seen and said.. " Are you Okay Dani?"

( Hufflepuff- Keeper)

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

::Dani took Dragon's hand gratefully, if felt like her arm was ripped out of her socket at least she had the sense to grab the broom with her less than wonderful throwing arm. She gasped and pulled herself onto her broom, doubled over in pain, groaning she handed the qwaffle off to Dragon.

"Go Score," she said through gritted teeth.

She heard Zelda yell something at her, something like are you alright? But Dani didn't know how to answer, she could just lie and say she was fine but everyone would know it was a lie, she could tell the truth and disappoint her other teammates. Sighing she knew which to do, she straightened her back and bit her bottom lip to keep from crying out in pain. She nodded towards Zelda, then added "Yeah, I'll be fine in just a minute, just a little jarring."

Her body shook as she strainned herself to stay upright, she knew her shoulder was dislocated but she couldn't help feeling pleased that even though she was falling she had-with the help of Dragon-grabbed her broom and swung onto it through it all. She rolled the shoulder that was mutely crying in protest, and grimanced, deffinatly dislocated. She held back gasps of pain as she laid the left injured arm on her lap and guiding her broom with the right she flew as fast as the pain would allow to go and help Dragon::

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

Rose herd the crowd gasp and shot a quick glance to her right, were all the action was taking place. terror filled her face as she saw Dani falling, falling. Surely another badger had seen that? Oh god, be ok, Dani, she whispered, trying not to slow down, for she would then loose the snitch for sure.

Rose shook the thought of Dani falling out of her head and kept a nice pace after the tiny ball. It shot left and right, up and down, but it almost seemed like it wasn't trying to dodge her. A few seconds later, the snitch did a figure 8 around the Hufflepuff goal post, then stopped. Rose flew right up to it, then pulled to a stop a foot behind it. It didn't move. Rose rubbed her eyes. Was she imagining this? No, it really wasn't moving. Just....hovering. Slowly, inch by inch, Rose lifted her hand. She reached out for it, so slow she almost looked frozen. A drop of sweat dripped from her eyebrow. So close. Only one more...inch...

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

Dragon helped Dani on her broom and heard her tell her to go score. She grasped the quaffle that was handed to her and shot a concered look at the Huffie Captain. "Are you sure you'll going to be okay?" she asked as she flew towards the golden gleaming hoops with Dani trailing behind.

Nearing it, Dragon eyed the keeper warily as she faked left them turned right suddenly. With a rush of wind and excitment, she flew at the hoops and threw the quaffle in the center of right hoop and watched it soar cleanly in. Even before she had heard the 'Ding' the shot, she hovered over to Dani who looked like she'd been run over by a stampede.

(Hufflepuff Chaser and Captain)

::Dani trailled behind her fellow chaser and heard the dreaded question again, her arm was screaming yes but Dani didn't know what was worse loss of moral or lying. She sighed and shook her head, but thankfully Dragon's back was already turned and a half-second later Dani heard the ding of a score.

"Excellent," she said almost forgetting her pain, Hufflepuff was up 20 zip.

She smile was strainned and she saw Dragon's look of concern, "okay, no I'm not alright. I think I dislocated my shoulder." Her eyes cast to the green grass of the quidditch pitch as disappointment whelled inside of her, she was mad at herself for lying to Zelda.

"Dragon, were you paying attention in charms the other day?" She asked suddenly just remembering Professor Waterlily saying something about simple healing charms. "Do you think you remember that healing charm?"

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

Suddenly, the snitch shot forward, smashing into Rose's forehead. She tried to back away, but it caught her by surprise.

WHAM

The sound rang through her ears of her skull being nearly cracked. Pain rushed through Roses head, and she leaned forward on her broom to keep steady. If that had been as big as a bludger, thought Rose, I would be dead.

The Hufflepuff Seeker tried to shake the pain away. She looked around, squinting. Great. Now the snitch was hiding again. Rose felt the vains popping out of her head. She was angry now.

"You little-" Rose tightened her fist into a ball. She rubbed her forehead, and felt a big welt developing. It stung. Bad. Wincing, Rose tried to distract herself by watching the game some. She noticed that Dani was with Dragon, safe. That took some relief from Rose. She also noticed the scoreboard read 20 to 0. Hufflepuff was winning.

"Alright", said Rose to herself. "You have a good change at catching this snitch. There's no competition, and you angry now." Rose chuckled. "Your in for it now, snitch. You've picked the wrong person to try and knock out."

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Etta was hovering in mid air laughing at rose and the snitch. Attempting to calm herself down before she fell down, Etta waved at Rose.

"Wanna borrow my bat?" she shouted before her laughter took control again. "Oh merlin, help," she choked, all the while her mind was wondering if she could land her broom before she killed herself.
