(Q.Pitch) Hufflepuff Vs Ravenclaw

[Russell Parkhurst]

Hufflepuff, to Russell's mind, was well trained. They thwarted every Ravenclaw move. Rus was about to catch Alexis' pass but Girty got there first. Andie was once again struck by a bludger. Where were Ravenclaw's beaters and why weren't they protecting their seeker? Rus had followed the Hufflepuff chasers down the pitch but failed to gain the ball before they scored.

He cursed under his breath and glared at the Hufflepuffs, a very Derryl thing to do to Aidan, Rus realised. The quaffle was put back into play and he caught it, tucking it under his arm. He flew towards the Hufflepuff goals and soon found himself being descended upon by the Hufflepuffs. He saw a flash of blue and passed the quaffle to it.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girt could not help but cheer when she saw the quaffle fly through the Ravenclaw goals giving Hufflepuff another 10 points. Things were on the up for them, however she knew she could not hang around for long, otherwise the Ravenclaw’s will pull back the very thin lead. Watching closely Girty noticed that the Quaffle was now in the hands of Russell. A very able Quidditch player and he would be a great threat.

Girty followed him as he made his way up the pitch, she ducked from left to right around the other players keeping her focus on the Ravenclaw. It was only when he passed that she really increased her pace. Girty needed to make sure that it was Hufflepuff who got to the Quaffle first. Stretching out Girty felt her muscles twinge as she tried to stretch. to far. Grimacing she final managed to get her hands safely around the quaffle and brought it closely towards her.

Turing her broom around Girty back tracked on her self heading back towards the Ravenclaw goals. She could hear the crowd cheering in the background willing her on. As a smile spread across her face she noticed another Hufflepuff chaser just in front of her. Pulling her arm back she flung the quaffle in their direction.

Olivia had been proud of her first goal of her career. The smile gave her hope. Hufflepuff was out flying Ravenclaw by far, and as for their poor seeker. Let's just say Olivia was glad that she was not her right now.

Liv decided to hang back into the middle of the pitch, for she saw Girty flying hard to intercept a quaffle passed by Russ. There was a second when Liv thought that Girty might not be able to reach. Ready to jet off at a seconds notice, Liv said rigidly on her broom. As Girty's fingers and arm surrounded the red ball, she gave a sigh, and then swerved in place to give Girty time to catch up to her.

Liv met up alongside her fellow teammate and stayed on till she was directly in front of her a couple feet. Looking back over her shoulder, Liv saw Girty launch her throw, going a little to far. Liv picked up speed and turned to catch the trick throw head on. See blue all around her, she quickly dove and swerved around, turning to head back toward the Ravenclaw goal hoops. S

he needed to pass, seeing blurs of blue around her. She glanced around and then spotted a yellow team mate. They were sill far off, but Olivia didn't have any options at the moment. She reeled back her arm and then threw the quaffle with all her might and a groan in the direction of the Hufflepuff chaser. Praying that they would catch it, Liv speed up to the front of the field to complete the play if necessary.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty could not help but groan as her pass went too far, it could have ruined everything, but luckily for her Liv was awake and managed to catch the quaffle as if the quaffle had been thrown purposely like that. With a small smile Girty followed close behind her team mate.

They suddenly were surrounded by blue. Girty aimed her broom towards the ground and dropt out of their reach, however when she look ed up it was then when she saw the quaffle flying thought he air and the Hufflepuff next to her seemed not to have noticed. Swearing under her breath Girty willed her broom forward and chased down after the quaffle. None of the Ravenclaw’s were close and this thought sent a rush of adrenaline through her body.

Girty managed to reach the falling quaffle and bring it close to her. Turning her attention to the goals she noticed she had a clear pitch in front of her. Slowly the hoops got closer and she set her targets on the left hoop. Drawing closer and closer Girty gave a broad smile at the Ravenclaw goalkeeper and threw the goal hoping the Ravenclaw would not get there in time.

GOAL - 30 10

[rileybabe]

Andie cursed in frustration as she weaved in and out of the players. The game had been going for quite some time now and Ravenclaw was falling behind. Not to mention that she was still quite sore, from the not one, but two Bludger hits that she had recieved within the first few minutes of the game. Ouch! "Ravenclaw! Get your butts in gear! I know that I did not train you to sit there like knots on a log! Now move it!" She screamed furiously at her team. Then she smiled, her friend Girty, who was a Hufflepuff had just lined herself up for a shot to the Ravenclaw goal posts, but it looked like their Keeper just might block come it. "C'mon! Block it!" she shouted encouragingly as she continued to weave in and out of the players. Suddenly she saw a glint of at the far end of the stadium near the Hufflepuff stands, was it...? No, just the sun reflecting off someone's watch. Andie sighed in disappointment. This match was not in their favor, and Andie did not like that. It seemed she was going to have to start being even more strict about practice.

[Alexis Heart]

Alexis was getting so frustrated, for all she did it made no difference her team was still not ahead in points. She banged her hand against the handle of her broom causing it to shift a little, forcing her to grab hold as it dipped down a bit, almost unseating her. Swearing she was tempted to do it again, but figured falling fifty feet out of the air would do no one anyone good most of all her. Doing her best to control her temper she chose to put her energy to more productive use so she tried to see if she could get herself a quaffle and earn her team some much needed points.

Turning her broom this way and that she now went from flier to hunter, eyes wide opened and she followed the progress of the quaffle along the pitch she was determined to be the next one to take possession of it. Her broom became her weapon of choice in this little excursion.

[rileybabe]

Andie gave her fellow teamate Alexis an encouraging nod when she saw that she was going after the Quaffle. She passed Alexis as she weaved around the pitch in search of the Snitch and murmured in a low voice next to the other girls' ear, "Remember Alexis, focus and determination. That's all it takes." She gave her an encouraging clap on the shoulder, "You can do it." Andie glanced over her shoulder once more and gave Alexis a nod as continued to search for the snitch. Suddenly, she saw it. Fluttering at the foot of the Gryffindor stands, she gave her broom an extra burst of speed and shot forth. Unfortunately, the Snitch chose that moment to zip out of sight once more, and Andie cursed in frustration.

[Russell Parkhurst]

Girty had intercepted his pass. Rus cursed and chased her. But she and Liv were too quick for him and they scored before he could get the quaffle back. The cheers from the yellow stands were defending. He waved at the keeper and got the quaffle. He sped off towards the Hufflepuff hoops.

He weaved in and out of nothing at all but liked to show off. He grinned at the players he passed and noticed Alexis to his side. "Hey, Lexi," he called and threw the quaffle to her. He dashed ahead and got into position for the next pass that could come his way.

[rileybabe]

Andie noticed as Russell passed the Quaffle to Alexis and gave an approving nod. "Great teamwork Russell. Keep it up!" she called encouragingly. Now where was that Snitch...?

[Girty Hubbles]

Feeling slightly more relaxed at the lead Hufflepuff was gaining Girty slowly flew back into position waiting for Ravenclaw to bring the quaffle into play once more. The Hufflepuff’s in the stand were enjoying the sunshine and the fact that they were winning. With a broad smile Girty waved to the stands as the chat ‘Hubbles give us a wave, Hubbles, Hubbles give us a wave!’ With a loud cheer the crowd then moved on to other members of the team.

However Girty heard no more as she noticed that Russell had the quaffle and was flying towards her. Lowering herself on her broom Girty started to peruse the Ravenclaw. She was close on his tail and when he threw the quaffle towards Alexis Girty flew in the way. It was a relatively easy catch considering Grace had had the team practise this move over and over again in practise. With a small smile of thanks to Russell Girty merlin up into the air in attempt to escape the other Ravenclaw’s.

They were already near the Ravenclaw goals as they had intercepted the pass quickly, however this also meant that they were being surrounded. Knowing that keeping the quaffle was vital to staying in front Girty looked around for another Hufflepuff, once she had seen the yellow robes Girty gave a sharp whistle in hope to get their attention and threw the quaffle towards them.

[rileybabe]

Andie barely took notice to the fact that Girty had intercepted the Quaffle. She had more pressing matters on her mind. She was on a mission, to find the Snitch. Deciding that if she flew higher and had a bird's eye view of the pitch, she might have a better chance of spotting the little golden ball; she gave her Firebolt an extra burst of speed and rose high into the air. Soon she was circling high aboive the pitch, her sharp eyes taking in everything and focusing on looking for the snitch. Then, she saw it, zipping around the Hufflepuff goal posts, but just as she leaned forward to go into a dive, the snitch zipped out of sight once more. "Ugh!" she cried in frustration. This snitch was a tricky one...

[Alexis Heart]

Alexis had been feeling good with the words of encouragement from Andrea. She enjoyed being part of this team and she was proud to be a member. Russsell her other teammate had passed next to her and caused her to smile because he was getting ready to throw the quaffle her way. She was ready to catch it but then it was taken from her by Girty from the Hufflepuff team.

This meant war, and Alexis was longer smiling, that quaffle was hers and she was gonna get it this time around. She began to stalk Girty making sure not to be on her tail just in case she tried to pass it off to someone else. Low and behold she did just that, she gave a whistle to her teammates but too bad for them Alexis was waiting and as soon as she threw it Alexis zoomed up the pitch catching it ceaselessly.

'Ha' she proclaimed, holding onto the quaffle for dear life. Her eyes peeled now for signs of one of the other chasers so that she could pass it to them in hopes that her team might be able to score a goal this time. Looking around she screamed for Russell, 'Hey I've got a gift for you Rus come and get it,' unlike her rival teammate she wasn't throwing this quaffle until she knew someone was paying attention

[Henry Boggleworth]

Flying low to the ground Boggleworth kept his eyes peeled for danger, and he found precisely that as the batle raged on above him. He was trying a different tactic; attacking from below as it would be unexpected. As the quaffle changed hands in quick succession he began to soar steadily upwards, then with a burst of speed he lunched for the quaffle that arced towards Russell, snatching it deftly out of the air he retorted with a wide grin "ooh I like gifts, thanks."

With a fleeting grin he turned his broom around sharply dodging a bludger that came his way Boggleworth began his route back towards the Ravenclaw goal posts. Seeing Girty was on the ball as ever he called "one two Girt," tossing it across.

[Girty Hubbles]

Girty shook her head when she saw the quaffle land in the hands of a Ravenclaw, but she had no time to sit and moan as the play was so fast and furious. Let again Girty herself on the tail of a Ravenclaw but this time she knew she was too far back to get the Quaffle, however Bog seemed to be perfectly placed. When she saw a blur of yellow snatch the quaffle back she could not help but smirk, the Ravenclaw’s were a good side and a challenge.

Flying straight on after her team mate Girty kept an eye on him to make sure that she did not lose site of him. She then heard his call, with a nod of the head she flew in line with Bog. She reached out and took hold of the quaffle as he threw it to her. Yet again the many practise sessions were coming in use.

As the two Hufflepuff’s carried on with the formation flying, getting ever closer to the Ravenclaw goals Girty looked over at Bog with a wide grin. Girty threw the quaffle towards Boggleworth again and broke out of formation to take her position near the far goal hoops just in case something went wrong, but Girty had all the faith in the world in her friend.

[Henry Boggleworth]

Hands eagerly taking the quaffle into a safe hold, Boggleworth streaked bull straight towards the Ravenclaw posts swooping up high then flinging it expertly towards the furthest hoop. As the quaffle soared through his elation grew, waving happily at Girty he thanked his lucky stars that she was so quick as he soared after Alexis, guessing she was likely to gain the quaffle first.

GOAL - 40 10
