(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Etta dropped Marie back on to her own broom, and waved as her team mate reasured her she was okay. Smiling, Etta flew back up the pitch wondering if Lily could survive on her own against the badgers.:

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

:She smiled down at Etta and frowned when Lily intercepted her pass to Flis:

"Darnnit..." :Ginny veered down so that she was flying directly on top of Lily, backwards, that is. She dropped down so that she was flying backwards and dangling in front of Lily:

"Boo!" :Ginny shouted, grabbing hold of the quaffle, swinging herself back up and carrying it with her in the opposite direction. She zoomed towards Flis and placed the Quaffle in her hands:

"I'll go up." :Ginny laughed, and did just that:

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie rolled her eyes at Lily's comment:

"Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?"

:Thanking Etta for helping her, she flew toward the sky and looked at the Quiddich pitch. The bludgers seemed to have disappear:

(hufflepuff chaser)

:flisan laughs out loud when she sees ginny taking away the quaffle from lily and catches it, still grinning. She circles a little, avoiding a bludger and then, the tip of her tongue sticking out, she throws the quaffle upwards at ginny as hard as she could. she looked up, waiting until the quaffle had landed securely in ginny's hands once more. Then suddenly something hard and fast hit her in the back and knocked her lights out for a moment.

she came back, seeing herself aiming for the ground, and pulled the nose of her broomstick up, to avoid crashing into the ground. SHe had been so concentrated on watching ginny she had missed that a bludger had been coming for her. she fronwed and tried to rub her back, which was burning uncomfortably. That would give one nasty bruise.:

(hufflepuff chaser)

:The Hufflepuff smirked as she caught it. Then she burst upwards with a midair kick until she was at a very sharp angle with the Ravenclaw goal. Ginny aimed and jerked her arm back as she heaved the Quaffle at the goal with all her might.:

"come on baby...come on...go in!" :She whispered. Her prayers were seemingly answered as she heard the ding of a...:

"GOAL!"

(ravenclaw seeker)



i had not seen the snitch yet and then i saw a golden ball fluttering at the other side of the pitch:... i urged my broom to go faster suddenly a blugger came zooming infrount of me i stopped for a second and the went back to get the snitch but i had lost sight of it....:erg stupid beater i said to my self but i forgot to take of the spell so the whole stadium heard i felt so embarresed. The hufflepuff team looked at me and i got rid of the spell. I was so embarresed i wanted revenge so i went and did a perfect :...wronski feit. After i had done it i felt bad and went and helped etta back on to her broom and went back to scanning the area for the snitch...

(im sorry but i dont know how to deleate this post)

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Etta watched amused as her fake Etta halltionation worked a treat on Polly, she had known that the Ravenclaw Seeker might have tried something sneeky and so she devised her own plan. Whilst Polly was luring the fake Etta with the wronski feit, the reall Etta soared off to the elft of the Hufflepuff Goalposts and after the snitch.:

(ravenclaw seeker)



I saw that i had been tricked by etta but i had to amit it was a good trick the relal etta was heading to the goal posts at first i didnt know what for then i rialised that she was after the snitch:... i sped after her...: and it was obvious that she would get the snitch so i called out nice trick there etta and she looked behind at me huh she shoated and when she turned back around the snitch had gone i gave her a little smile and:... flew away...:

(ravenclaw keeper subbing for kitkat)





:...I got onto my broom...: nervously this was my first match.:... I sped up to the ravenclaw goal posts and started to speed infrount of them all...: so that the chaser would have to make a random guess at which goal to aim for.

(Ravenclaw Seeker)



I looked around and saw that kwlamy had come on kwlamy is my step sister and this was her first match KWLAMY MAKE RAVENCLAW PROUD i shoated to her and i went back to :...scanning the area...:

(Ravenclaw Beater)

::Running onto the field bat and broom in hand and straightening his quidditch robes, Roman looked up to see that the game had already began, and had been going for quite some time. He had been so tired he had fallen asleep in the showers long before the game was set to begin and had only just woken.

He knew Lily would probably be so angry she would whip him and as appealing as that may have been, he figured it was best to get in the game and help out the team. He hopped on his broom and kicked off, bat in hand and trying to gather what had happened so far.

Roman flew towards Herby, wondering if his fellow beater would fill him in on all he had missed, but didn't have time as the game was in full swing and there were things he needed to do::

(ravenclw keeper subbing for kitkat)



i am defending the goals :..cicleing round them ..:watchin the quaaffie for any movement comin to my goal my fingers where ready and i was determined not to let any goals in

(ravenclaw seeker)



GO RAVENCLAW i shoated at the top of my voice i amplified my voice again and started to make a chear it went RAVENCLAW RAVENCLAW WE ARE GOING TO WIN I AM SURE and the crowd continued to do that.i saw the golden snitch near the hufflepuff goal posts and :...sped towards them.I could feel Etta behind me she was coming closer now so i urged my broom to go faster.i was getteing closer now the snitch was taking me all over the place i could hear its wings fluttering i leant forward on my broom more suddenly i flew of th frount and was speeding to the ground i was almost near the ground now and i was bracing my self for the fall when i felt Etta grab hold of my arm inches fom the gond she placed me down and caught my broom.You ought to be more careful she said i nodded and stood on the floor for a while before coming back to my sences and getting back onto my broom...:

(ravencwl keeper sub for kitkat)




i was :..swerveing around the tree goals..: i was shouting at the people tellin them to hold back and go forward defending the quaffle as i nevesley watch the game

(Hufflpuff Chaser)

:Ginny sped off after Lily, her eyes narrowed. She wasn't going to let her score while she happened to be in the area. Her hair flying behind her like a red banner for hufflepuff (even though hufflepuff was yellow), she kicked her broom onward.:

(Ravenclaw Beater)

::Roman laughed as he saw what Herb had done to Marie, a person with chicken hands was rather amusing. He turned away from the scene and saw that in her extremely amusing effort to get Marie, Herb had left Lily open and Ginny was taking advantage.

Putting on a burst of speed, his eyes searched for one of the two bludgers that would do the job. Herb, upon seeing what was happened, headed for one that was closer to her. She batted it over in the direction Roman was heading. Nearing Ginny, he pulled up and waited.

The bludger flew towards him and with a backhanded whack he sent it off at a different angle, straight towards Ginny. She must've seen the incoming bludger out of the corner of her eye, for Roman saw them widen in shock and she veered upwards. The bludger didn't hit her, but it did it's job, for she was no longer on Lilys tail::

(ravenclw keeper sub kit kat)

i have been watching the game very caferley seeing what has been goin on i am neves whating to see what hapens i am shoutin at the top of my voice come on ravenclw we can win

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

:She looked around, frustrated. That little mishap with the bludger had caused her to lose sight of Lily. However, Ginny soon spotted her again, and wasn't going to let herself be distracted again.:

(ravenclw keeper sub kitkat)



ravenclw are goin for it now thay go to score

(Ravenclaw Beater)

::Roman flew as close to Lily as possible without moving too quickly. That was a chaser move, and he was no chaser, he knew he'd kill himself if he even attempted that. Deciding she was safe from incoming quaffle stealers, Ginny was trying to catch up but had no chance, Roman figured he'd clear the way for his captain and queen.

Pulling up and flying towards the goal, he watched Herb taking up position to protect the quaffle. As he flew towards the goal, and the nervous Hufflepuff keeper, Roman saw a bludger, just that little bit away. Shrugging and thinking Who cares? he withdrew his concealed wand and summoned the bludger towards him.

Bat over his shoulder, ready to swing, Roman hit it as hard as he could when it got within reach. The bludger zoomed through the air, picking up more and more speed. Roman momentarily felt sorry for the Hufflepuff when he realised the keepers eye was on Lily, not on the approaching solid ball.

It hit the keeper in the stomach with power, making Roman wince as she was thrown back off her broom. As painful as that looked forever, the goals were now open for Lily to score::

(Ravenclaw Beater)

::Roman celebrated as Lily scored for Ravenclaw, but realised it was premature when he noticed Lily had spun herself right off her broom and was falling towards the ground. His heart pounding, he pushed down on his broom. She was almost falling faster than he could fly, but he managed to get beneath her, just before he himself hit the ground and slow down enough to steady the broom.

Preparing himself for what would be an awesome catch, Roman watched for only a second as Lily fell towards him. He let go of his broom, using his feet as balance and held out his arms. When she landed on him, it was hard enough to knock him off his own broom.

They fell together for the couple of meters left, and as Romans back hit the ground, Lily landing on top of him, he was thankful that they weren't too high as that easily could've gone from one serious injury to two.

Opening his eyes and smiling a little at Lily Roman stated, "You are positively insane, almost killing yourself simply to score a goal. Get off me, my dearest." When Lily crawled to her feet, Roman, his back worse now then it had been before, managed to prop himself up and allowed Lily to help him to his feet. He shook himself from the pain, they had to get back in the game::

(ravenclw keepersub kitkat)



everyone from ravenclw is shouting ravenclw ravenclw its nere to snitch time everythink is tense here i am goin round and round the tree goals tring not to let anything in

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Having completely reacted naturally to helping Polly, Etta flew hard away from the Ravenclaw seeker, trying to put as much distance between her and the young girl. Her head snapped from left to right as her eyes scanned the crowd, something gold and flickering caught her attention below on the pitch and she starred dead at the back of Roman's head. The snitch was flying in the middle of his head and he didnt know.

Checking that the Ravenclaw Seeker was far away and not paying much attention, Etta edged her broom slowly through the air, trying to catch the snitch without crashing into Roman.

Etta wanted to scream out a warning at the Ravenclaw Beater but she was to afraid the snitch would get away, before Roman had a chnace to mount his broom, Etta SLammed hard into his back sending him flying to the ground once more in sheer agony, with her hand out stretched ready to close around the snitch Etta looked down at Roman and cried in disgust with herself.

"Roman? Are you alive?" Etta asked shakingly as she jumped off her broom and began to prob the now not moving Roman in the bck, her snitch had escaped.:

ravenclw sub kitkat)



:..i was neverley goin round and round my goals tring not to let any in..: :..hufflepuff where comin closer and closer but then ravenclw tuck the quffle and was off..: i was whating to the game was final over but it felt like it was goin on and on i love being in the game but this was my 1st time i was as scared as a bull i felt as if i was goin to chock buti didnt it really really was scary

(Ravenclaw Seeker)

I looked round and saw the bluger was close i did a sloath grip roll and moved out of the way. In doing that i had lost sight of the snitch...:

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Etta, looked over her shoulder and noticed that she had parot repeating everything she said, swearing loudly, she dived back on to her broom, and kicked off into the air, trying to find her Snitch before she was frown off the Quiddich team for violence to the opposing team.:

(Hufflepuff Beater)

:Marie finally went away from Madam Pomfrey and returned on the Quiddich pitch, her hand as hands should be, with determination to make Herby pay for what she did. She jumped on her broom for the second time of the match and went up in the sky. She waited until Herby came next to her and, just a that moment, two bludgers were heading toward her. She firmly gripped her bat and hit both bludger one after another, as hard as she could, toward Herby.

Her opponent managed to avoid one, but the other hit the end of her broom and made her fall off it. Fortunately, she wasn't too far from the ground and didn't hurt herself too badly when she hit it:

(ravenclaw seeker)




:...i laped around a few times and then saw the snitch hovering near Etta i zoomed straight towards her and as got close to her i crashed straight into her Etta i screamed an dsped to help her forgetting all about the snitch i got her back onto her broom and after thet was magorly embarresed...:

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:After being crashed into, Etta jumped back on her broom, annoyed that once again Polly had lost contol of her broom.

"Stupid learner flyers," Etta muttered as she raced away from the young girl, not noticing that the snitch was hovering inches in front of Marie, pushing hard, she steereed her broom perfectly and headed towards her team mate, trying to get Maries attention, Etta shouted. "MARIE! DO THE HUFFLE PUFFFFF!!!!!"

Etta smiled as her team mate nodded and blew the snitch towards her, wrapping her legs tightly around her broom, she raced towards the snitch, happy that Polly had crashed into the Ravenclaw Keeper, unable to contol her broom and was no where near to Etta and the snitch, thinking hard, Etta knew the snitch would pass just under her brom, out of her reach, suddenly she remembered her trusty helpline. The BaseBall MIT catch

Quickly sitting up on her broom, Etta tied her legs in a knot and launched herself sideways so that she was now flying upside down, pulling her arms tight together, Etta pushed her broom to almighty stop and waited as the snitch neared her, suddenly a sneeze took hold of her and her arms broke a little to create a gap big enough for the snitch to pass through. Cursing Etta drew herself back to the right sitting postion and untied her legs, watching amused as Polly continued to reverse her broom int the crowd of fans.

"Oops," Etta giggled and she flicked her wand once more and zoomed away as Polly regained control of her broom.:

(Hufflepuff beater)

Pitta approached the quidditch stadium stealthily hoping no one would notice how late he was. Giving himself a couple of sharp slaps around the face to try to get rid of the effects of the dozen Firewhiskies he had consumed down in Hogsmeade during the day. Jumping astride his broom he kicked into the air. Something was not quite right though. The last time he had been on his broom he was sure that the plumage of twigs was at the rear of the broom, whereas now they seemed to be in front of him.
Before he could realise that he was sat backwards on his broom as it ascended, a bludger came from nowhere hitting him squarely in the left shoulder, knocking him off his broom and sending him straight back to earth.
As he got back to is feet,it was clear that the blow had dislocated his left shoulder but due to the excess of Firewhisky in his blood stream, no pain could be felt.
Giggling with the state of his sobriety, he wandered over to one of the wooden bases to one of the stands, and slammed his shoulder against it to pop it back in the socket (reminiscent of the way he had seen Mel Gibson do it, in one of the Lethal Weapon films he recalled seeing on one of those giant muggle televisions. A cenama or something!!!)
He then reclaimed his broom from the turf where it had fallen, jumped back on (the right way this time), and finally got himself up into play, failing to register the discomfort he was sure to be in the next morning. :joker:

(Ravenclaw Seeker)



After being completly embarrased by Etta i desided that it was time for revenge.:...So i flew near to Etta as if i had seen the snitch i zoomed straight to the goal posts and went through the middle one perfectly as planned Etta didnt have time to stop and went crashing intop the post and getting her and her broom stuck inside the goal post.She was lying there kicking her legs helplessly. After about 2 minutes the Ravenclaw keeper stoped and started to help i also help pull her. After about 10 minutes we finaly got Etta out of the goal post...:

(Hufflepuff Beater)

Pitta, unhappy to see Etta being set upon in such way flys towards the goal to see if there is anything he can do to help. As he approaches the mellee he says a 2 bludgers flying side by side towards him (or is it two? Perhaps he is still seeing double from his Firewhisky session). Deciding Polly deserves some payback he selects a bludger, and sets out into performing his trademark "ROATING POWER BEAT". Spinning around three times like an olympic discus thrower, he raises his club and strikes the bludger straight at Polly, sending it spiralling towards her. As the spinning stops Pita is overcome with nausea again. ""Someone get me a black coffee!!!!" :joker:

(Hufflepuff Seeker)


:After being pulled free from the goal hoop Etta realised that the Ravenclaw keeper had shrunk the actual hoops (either that or Polly was right to insuate that she was fat). Glaring at the Keeper, Etta flew towards Hairy who had just joined the Hufflepuff team.

Her eyebrow raised as she smelt the stale smell of alcohol, tutting, Etta leaned into Hairy and whispered in his ear, "Can i just borrow your bat Hairy? Thank you very much."

With a burst of speed Etta swung the bat at an oncoming bludger and watched in delight as it hit the Ravenclaw keeper square in the forhead, still smiling, Etta watched as the girl fell 100ft down to the ground, no one had noticed their defenceless keeper.

"YES!" Etta squealed as she threw the bat back to Hairy and off she rode to catch Polly. Polly had seen the snitch but Etta was not about to let the young girl get away with what she had done.

Slamming hard into the little girls hip with her broom, Etta giggled as Polly screamed, fell off the side of her broom and off towards the turf below. Turning tail, Etta flew away from the Ravenclaw Seeker as she landed with a sick thud beside the unconsious and broken boned Keeper.

"What?" Etta demanded of her team captain who was starring at her in disbelief. "My broom slipped! "

(Hufflepuff Beater)

Hairy flew over to Etta sheepishly having seen the aggression she was currently showing!! "Please can I have my bat back?" :joker:

"lovely move by the way. Now all we need is to gain the quaffle and get some points on the board while they are all down!"

(Hufflepuff Seeker)

:Etta smiled at Hairy as she handed over his bat again.

"Sorry.... i'm just..... Still angry.... I'll just go over there...." Etta flew away from her mate ashamed at her behaviour, a badger will fight but a badger should not attack in such a violent way.

Feeling ashamed, Etta searched for the snitch, hoping against hope that she found it soon.:

(Hufflepuff beater)

With the two bludgers appearing to have temporarily left the stadium, Hairy came to a halt in the centre of the field, about 80 feet up and glanced around looking for the seeker, hoping to aid Etta locating it.
Having glanced around for about a minute, his gaze was caught by a flash of gold hovering by the Hufllepuff goalposts. Dashing in that direction, he looked left or right to find Etta.
Seeing her behind him he started to whistle and took one hand off his broom (the one on the end of his good arm), waving it to attract her attention.
Etta appeared to be looking in the other direction however, and Hairy thought to himself 'what if i caught it and smuggled it to her!!!!'

:joker:

(Hufflepuff Chaser)

:Ginny sighed, this match was getting waaay too boring. So, to compensate, she shouted:

"FLISAN! HAMMOCK!" :She then zoomed over to the Quaffle, which had been idling for some odd reason and zig-zagged as fast as she could up to the Ravenclaw goal posts and pulled her hand back, waiting for Flisan. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched to make sure no Ravenclaw would impede their sure goal:

(hufflepuff chaser)

:seeing Ginny starting a new play Flisan flew up to her quickly, once turning around herself on her broom, when almost hit by a bludger. When she was close enough she held out her hand and grabbed the quaffle, so ginny and her were both now holding it.

on ginny's sign they both pulled back their arms and with all their strength sent the quaffle towards the goal posts. Due to the double force behind ti the ball was rotating and it was hard to see for the keeper where the ball was flying to.

the tip of her tongue sticking out flisan watched the ball sore neatly through the middle goal post.

"score!" she cheered and hugged ginny happily.:

(Hufflepuff beater)

"NICE GOING GIRLS", Pitta yelled from the other end of the pitch, thinking he really ought not to drink before the next quidditch game, as he remounted his broom yet again.
