(Q.Pitch) Hufflepuff Vs Ravenclaw

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty looked down only to see Effie take the Quaffle once again. In frustration Girty banged her fist against her leg, it was only then she saw the Ravenclaw pull up again in the distance, with the want of revenge pumping through her Girty willed her broom on to go faster and she lowered herself as low as possible on her broom. Slowly she made up the distance to the Ravenclaw, it was only then when she noticed another one of their chasers was close by.

Taking a risk Girty decided to fly towards that chaser and hope she got to the quaffle before they did. Her gamble worked. Effie threw the quaffle in their direction and with the added momentum Girty was able to take hold of the quaffle before her rival. Bringing her broom to a stop Girty looked over at Effie and gave her a small smile, this was turning into a very good game.

Once more Girty was heading back towards the Quidditch pitch with Quaffle in hand making her way towards the hoops. Looking around her frantically Girty saw another Hufflepuff player, she pulled her arm back and let the quaffle fly towards her team mate.

[Prof Grace Marks]

Girty caught her pass and Grace moved to the centre hoop as she watched Girty fly. She had become a lot more confident on a broom, Girty, and Grace smiled, happy she had. Girty passed but Effie intercepted the pass. Grace shook her fist and grasped her broom tighter, prepared to dive to the right when she shot. But she didn't. Effie passed and luckily Girty caught the ball before the other chaser. She watched her speed off, cheering for her friend.

[oliviabelmont]

Olivia was ready for the first match of her career. She wasn't nervous at all. She knew that her team would pull through no matter what. Liv smiled as she walked onto the pitch. It was amazing to see the stands filled and cheering. A good feeling swelled up in her chest as she kicked off the ground. They were going to win!

Flying trying to find an open spot to help Girty out, Liv dodged a few bludgers. She couldn't seem to find an open spot long enough to help Girty out at all. But it didn't really matter. Her team mate had a good handle on things. "YEAH GIRTY!!" Liv screamed over the cheering Hufflepuff's below as the Hufflepuff team went up 10 to 0.

Liv watched as Ravenclaw zigged and zagged. Her mind went blank for a second and then, an eruption of cheers from a blue mass below told her that they had scored. She clapped for the opposing team, but then flew back to her goals to help Girty bring it up. The quaffle was taken by the Ravenclaw team and Olivia swore in her head. She speed over to the Hufflepuff hoops in hopes of blocking a pass or a goal. Girty did just that. "Yea!" Liv yelled as she shot forward to get a pass. She reached out and felt the quaffle enter her hands. She quickly turned in the air and speed for the opposite side of the pitch.

Liv dodged a bludger and her tight grip was shaken. She need to throw the Quaffle and throw it soon. She didn't want to chance her dropping it. As she dodged a Ravenclaw player, and spotted a yellow blur flying with her on her left. Catching her teammates eyes, Liv sped up to get in front of her and then pass the quaffle back over her head, something they had successfully practiced before. "Please...Please..Catch it!" Liv prayed out loud.

[effie]

The Hufflepuffs were now dangerously close to the Ravenclaw goals. If they weren't careful, one of them would be very soon be taking a shot on goal. Effie had been darting around like a mad thing, but Girty had still managed to pass the quaffle to Olivia.

Flying above the majority of the players for a second or two, the Ravenclaw took in everyones positioning before rejoining them lower down. She paid particular attention to Olivia as she sped past her teammate.

The Hufflepuff suddenly threw the quaffle backwards, catching Effie a bit unawares. Luckily she owned a pretty good broom that allowed her to dart in the sharpest of directions. Swinging round she managed to reach out for the quaffle just in time, and immediately passed it onto another chaser.

[oliviabelmont]

"Darn!" Liv said, but she wasn't going to let Effie get her that easily. Olivia turn fast on her broom, and sped after the Ravenclaw chaser. Liv decided to put pressure on her. But she didn't need to. Instead, Effie immediately threw the quaffle off. Liv bolted as fast as she could.

the wind blew her bangs back against her forehead as she darted toward the flying quaffle. Liv was almost there, she almost beat it. She reached her hands out. She felt the quaffle brush past her finger tips. Liv reached as far as she could go, but she could get her whole hand far enough.

In her quick thinking Liv spotted one of her fellow players racing toward her. Instead of catching it, Liv just tipping the large red ball as hard as she could, knocking it out of the Ravenclaw's way and into the way of her passing teammate.

[Russell Parkhurst]

Russell had been watching Andie, worried for a moment, after she had gotten hit with that bludger and he saw yellow flash in front him. He had turned his broom and gave chase. He only got an opening when Olivia pass and Rus took it. He flew from under her and pulled up hard on his broom, catching the quaffle.

He straightened out and turned towards the Hufflepuff goals. He flew towards them but saw yellow out of the corner of his eye coming up very quickly on his tail. Russell saw blue and passed, knowing that the chaser wouldn't get it. But he hoped that none of the other Huffles got it either.

[thatsace]

Ace was whizzing around the Quidditch pitch, seeking out a bludger. She found one but the Hufflepuff beaters got to it first. The walloped it towards Andie and it hit their seeker and captain. Ace flew after the bludger and when she had caught up with it the other had come hissing towards her. Ace quickly ducked but dropped her bat.

She quickly flew after it, straight down towards the ground. She caught it and quickly pulled up on her broom to straighten her flight. She was a few feet off the ground now and looking up she saw Effie steal the pass. She cheered and swooped up. The chaser named Belmont had the ball now, Acelin had her target. She looked around for a bludger and found one. She quickly pulled her broom up and flew towards it, then flung her broom around and hit it at the Belmont girl.

[oliviabelmont]

Olivia swore again as her pass was picked of by another Ravenclaw. She rounded, again, on her broom and saw Russel speeding off. Liv quickly put on the gas, so to speak, and flew after the Ravenclaw Chaser.

She was closely following Russel. She anticipated that he was about to hand of the quaffle. Liv sped up and dashed forward reaching out to catch Russ' pass. However, Liv saw the bludger coming straight for her and pull back. She had missed her chance.

[Alexis Heart]

Alexis grinned as that bludger cause Olivia to back off Russell this was great now Ravenclaw had another chance to score a goal. So Alexis grabbed hold of the end of her broom and flew toward him if he needed to throw the quaffle he wanted it to be to her.

This was her first game she had just become a member of the team and she had been dreaming of her first match dreaming of being able to shine and scoring her first goal for the team. She hadn't told this to anyone of course but still.

Reaching him she looked over making sure there was no bludgers on their way to try and unseat them. So far the way seemed clear and for that she was grateful. Looking back toward Russell she waited to see what he was going to do.

Then he passed it at first she thought she was going to miss it but some quickly maneuvering on her broom and her left hand stretched out in front of her she managed to catch it. Grinning broadly she flew like she had never flown before tearing her way toward the Hufflepuff goals. When she reached she took a deep breath and took aim at one of the hoops then with all her might she did it she threw the quaffle. Staying where she was she watched it's progress hoping beyond hope that she made it and how glorious a feeling it would be.

[pun]

Adéline's eyes were wide as she regarded the stands. Seeing as it was her first Quidditch game, not having made the team the previous year, it was overwhelming to say the least. Blue and yellow banners dotted the stands everywhere... though thinning slightly where the majority of Slytherins sat.

Tilting her head to one side, she gave a small grin before swerving her broom up toward the Ravenclaw goalposts. With her yellow quidditch robes fluttering around her form, she leaned forward to increase her speed and avoided a stray bludger that flew around the pitch idly.

She had yet to see the snitch, and squinted her eyes as she looked. The Ravenclaw seeker seemed to be having as much luck as her and she frowned, circling the pitch once more.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty looked around the pitch the game was becoming crazy. She was trying to keep her mind straight and focus on everything but Ravenclaw were proving harder to beat then she ever thought they would be. Regaining her focus Girty headed out after the quaffle and went cashed after the opposition chasers. However Girty could not help put smile as Olivia kept getting in the way.

This gave Girty time to catch up and case down Alexis, as she saw the red quaffle fly from her hands the Hufflepuff reached out and almost jumped off her broom to take hold of it. Nothing was going to let Ravenclaw score again. With the quaffle safely in her hands and safely positioned on her broom once again Girty headed off towards the Ravenclaw goal.

She looked around for any sign of her team mates, she knew she needed to pass soon otherwise she would be prone to an attack. Then just in front of her she noticed another chaser, making sure the quaffle was steady in her hands Girty pulled her arm back and threw it in their direction.

[Dax Simmons]

Dax had been trying to keep out of the way of the chasers as they did battle lower on the pitch. They have having a good old battle and he knew that as long as he kept an eye on where the bludgers were he would be able to protect his team. His senses were on double alert though at the moment because Dax knew that as soon as you actually hit someone, particularly the team captain they would be out for revenge.

Dax almost smiled when he noticed the Ravenclaw beater hit the bludger towards Liv. It had some effect, she had backed away however she had no need to be worried, the bludger did not have enough pass on it. Knowing however he best to be seen protecting his team Dax flew down into the mealy in the middle of the pitch and hunted for the bludger. Then he saw it flying around the far stand. With a smile Dax flew after it with bat at the ready. With a much force as he could he hit the bludger in the direction of Andie once again. They had their home made hit list and needed to keep to it, the most dangerous players needed to be taken out first.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Failing to grab a hold of the Ravenclaw chasers who successfully managed to dodge his rushed lunges at them, he failed also to intercept any passes too, but thankfully his fellow chasers particularly Liv at the moment were doing sterling work of keeping the Ravenclaws at bay. He had been incredibly surprised by their lightening fast attack and hadn't been quick enough to halt their blitz of an attack.

But as Girty retook possession of the quaffle he swooped after her, knowing the Ravenclaws would soon pounce upon her if she kept the quaffle clutched close, they had the same thoughts on mind it seemed as Girty's mighty throw reached his welcoming arms. Hugging it close to his chest Boggleworth dived down weaving in and out to make himself a smaller more difficult target to hit. Nearing the middle of the pitch he smiled grimly as the crowd sensed the Hufflepuff breakthrough. Darting upwards now he threw around the stands then passed it onwards, knowing the Ravenclaws were too close for comfort.

[oliviabelmont]

Liv wiped her brow, noticing Girty had again took controlled of the quaffle. These Ravenclaw had lived up to their bird mascot, successfully swarming around Liv, wearing her out. Liv looked up and noticed Adéline looking out for the snitch. Liv took a deep breath and focus back on the game, noticing that Girty had just handed off the quaffle to Henry.

Liv sped forward, dodging a bludger Dax had just sent toward a Ravenclaw. Lowering herself so she could sneak up under the chasing Ravenclaw, Liv raced to get ahead of Henry. Her fellow teammate must have spotted her coming, for her broke off upwards, throwing the quaffle downwards toward Liv.

Olivia reached out her arms and successfully caught the red ball. She held it tight against her body, not letting it slip. She shot forward, hoping to beat out all the other Ravenclaw chasers. She shot to the far right of the pitch, holding the quaffle in her right hand. She quickly flew down the row of goals, her quaffle arms facing them. Just as she got to the last hoop, she raised her arms and threw the red ball as hard as she could toward the end left hoop. With a grunt she released the ball, and wished and prayed it would sail through unchecked.

GOAL - 20 10

[Maria Turolia]

Maria had seen the bludger fly toward Olivia, and knew she was not close enough to get it. However, she saw that Dax was, and knowing exactly what Dax would do with the bludger when he got it, Maria flew closer. She watched Dax hit the bludger at Andie and prepared herself to get it the rest of the way. When the bludger came into range, she got her bat ready with all her force hit it once again toward Andie. She smiled slightly as the bludger reached its target.

HIT - 2/10 on Andrea Riley
