C1: Match One

[Jac Shaw]

A wickedly strong wind blew and Jac was blown clean off her broom. She held on tight, thankfully, and as she plumitted towards the ground, she pulled the broom under her again and pulled up hard. Her knee scrapped the grass. Jac pulled a face at the grass burn she got even through her wet trousers. Cursing the ruddy weather, Jac looked around and spotted Girty stealing the ball again.

Jac could have pulled her wand out and cursed Girty into next week for all the irritation she was causing the Gryffindor. But knowing that would get her disqualified Jac chose to simply follow the Puff as she flew low to the ground. The pass went high and Jac quickly flew to intercept it. Grabbing the ball, her hand slipped on the wet leather but the other hand quickly clasped firmly around it so she didn't loose it.

Tucking it below her arm, Jac flew the other way, searching for some purple, anywhere. Seeing it, Jac passed the quaffle to the purple and headed forwards to accept the pass when it came her way.

[Sarie Thimble]

Sarie still hadn't seen the snitch. She was wondering if she ever would see it. She was worried that she wouldn't see if and the other teams seeker would catch it. She flew to the other side of pitch so the beaters woudn't get any ideas. She almost ran into a bluder but dived just in time.

(when do i know where the snitch does some one play it do i say i see it?)

[Helena Martin]

Helena just managed to intercept the pass, but she had no time to mentally praise herself as she saw purple all around her.

Swerving around and having to back up a little, Helena avoided a bludger and some other things as she scanned left, right and center for a teammate.

Then quickly, as she saw a flash of orange (or hopefully did) Helena passed the quaffle, although it slipped a little on her long fingers.

[Bradyn Reed]

helenamartin said:

(Is this allowed? This is what Jamie did, so I'm pretty sure I'm good, but just in case! *Le OCD*)

[Helena did it, that's what she was talking about Jamie doing it because you edited it on his post.
-no blame intended, just felt like clearing that up for the slow people who didn't get it?-]

Bradyn sighed a bit when he felt the drops of rain falling more frequently on him. He would be one of the first to be soaked through, as he wasn't moving nearly 30 miles per hour across the field, and didn't have the option to do so. A rainy game was probably the worst, as it would only make things more difficult to see.

Watching as the quaffle was passed from team to team more often than comrade to comrade, Bray squinted a bit before reaching up and wiping a few drops that were falling down his face. There were a few times that Erys got a little too close, and he had to resist the urge to hiss during those times. It would be rather awkward an unexplainable to the team, and something that he didn't want to deal with. Looking up for a moment, he spotted El up searching for the snitch. He was tempted to shout something up to her, but just at that moment the gust of wind hit him and all his words would have been lost in the wind. His hair flew forward, and he was surrounded by a blur of orange that he later realized were his robes.

Once that was over and his initial panic left him, Bray ran his fingers through the damp hair to keep it out of his face and even more importantly out of his line of vision. Re-affixing himself to the game, he saw that though quaffle was in possession of the Slyderdors, and one with such vibrant hair could only be Jac, it had changed hands in that instant back to Girt. Then of course, it went to Jac, then intercepted back into their teammate's hands. All was well at the moment, though he knew that this would not be a time to relax. Each team was fighting, and the interceptions they had on each other were rather shocking.

[ Yeah, someone plays the Snitch, Sar. she posted earlier maybe first page? and I think you have to wait for her to post again (: ]

[Jac Shaw]

Cursing loudly as Helena was the one to receive her pass, Jac pulled up on her broom and headed after the Puffball with the ball. Girty was no where in sight, thankfully, so Jac was certain that if she got the quaffle back she could get it to one of her team mates and score. Quickly coming up behind Helena, Jac watched at the ball clumsily left her hand.

Speeding towards the round object, Jac smartly plucked it from the air and turned back. She zoomed towards the goal and, spotting purple, threw the quaffle towards it.

[Erys Grace]

For a moment there, Jac seemed surprised she passed it to her. All loyalties to houses were off for joint Quidditch games. Throwing her hands into the air, Erys caught the Gryffindor's pass, cranking back her arm to catapult the quaffle into the center hoop which was close enough to make it there without difficulty. Crossing her fingers and praying for it to make it in, the Slytherin swung back around, making a wide loop to place herself in the middle of the pitch; the perfect place to intercept a pass in case her throw was saved, or catch the ball.

Scanning the field for her team mates, Erys gave Jac a thumbs up, as if congradulating her or something for the great passing that had occurred between them.[/color]

[Jac Shaw]

Erys caught her pass and Jac smirked widely. Her team mate threw for the goal and Jac, just for good measure flew to the quaffle and put her hand on it as it came by, the other on the rim of the golden hoop and she pushed it through the golden hoop.

Erys' thumb up was reciprocated by a wink from the Gryffindor.

((i'm thinking it should have been passed another time but this'll do it for sure )

Goal!

10 -
40 -

Posession is given to Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw.

[Helena Martin]

"Oh, snappikies!" Helena yelled loudly as Jac caught the most unusual of passes.

Ergh! This game has been going on forever... Helena thought, I would enjoy it, but all this stupid rain!

She made sure to tail Jac, waiting for the moment she would pass...

[Ellie Rook]

Ellie had lost sight of the snitch. She gazed around the pitch. "Come out come out where ever you are." She said under her breath. She had drifted down toward the players, absentmindedly search every nook and cranny of the stands, seeing if the snitch had found a cozy place to hang out. Nothing.

A rush of orange blew past her and Ellie looked toward the goal posts! "GOAL!!" Ellie yelled as Helena put the quaffle through the hoops. She smiled and glanced at the score board. 30-0. "Sweet." She said. Apparently she had been looking so hard for the darn snitch she had completely missed a goal. What ever, a goal is a goal.

But seriously, where was the gosh darn snitch. Ellie was getting slightly annoyed. She saw a purple blob out of the corner of her eye. The other seeker, a small girl from Gryffindor was also looking around to no avail. Ellie glanced at her, but seeing that she was getting anything either, moved her position to get a better look at the pitch.

[The Golden Snitch]

The snitch had darted upwards to escape the grasp of the seekers. It zig zagged past various purple and orange blurs, and suddenly took a very sharp right. If a seekers eyes were sharp enough, they would see the glint of gold hovering steadily over the teachers stand.

[Sarie Thimble]

Sarie had been watching the chasers when she saw it. The golden snitch was just over the teacher stand. She lay flat on her sliver arrow never being so happy that Ian had given it to her. She flew over to get a better look.

[Ellie Rook]

Ellie looked over the stands as she had been before. Hufflepuff was the hardest to see. All the yellow was making Ellie's eye cross considering she was looking for a golden snitch. She didn't catch any little ball with wings so she turned around and headed further down the pitch.

As she turned, she saw a hint of gold right above Professor Hubbles head. The snitch! Ellie grab hold of her broom and zoomed toward it, passing out the little Gryffindor who had also caught a glimpse of the snitch. However, by the time Ellie got there, the snitch was gone. "Hey Professor." She said, considering she was right above his head, legs dangling close to hitting his skull. Ellie headed back toward the game play. She wondered if she had even actually seen anything or it was just her imagination. Oh well. "GO HUFFLECLAW... errr.... RAVENPUFF.... uhhh... GO ORANGE!!!" Ellie shouted, before turning her attention back to looking.

GAME STATS UPDATE

Snitch Chases: Gryf-Slyth 2/10 and Huff-Rav 2/10

Beater Hits: None

[The Golden Snitch]

The seekers seemed to be getting closer and closer to catching the snitch with each sighting of it. The golden ball had darted towards the ground stopping only several foot above it before shooting straight back up into the sky. The remaining sun shine, only just peeking through the clouded sky, flashed glints of its golden colour as it dotted around on the same spot.

[Girty Hubbles]

The seekers seemed to suddenly become active and Girty was distracted as the orange blur of Ellie shot off in the direction of the stands. Girty had seen no glint of gold but then that is why she guessed she was the one chasing the big red ball which was quite hard to miss, but then saying that the Hufflepuff had managed to overlook the whole passing sequence between then other team and only turned around to see the quaffle go through the hoop.

Swearing loudly Girty slammed her fist onto the end of her broom and hovered over close to the hoops for the quaffle to come back into play. With a small shout to call for the quaffle it soon came sailing towards her and Girty tucked it under her arm flew off, zig zaging through the other players, at one point she was convinced she saw a flash of gold zoom past her heading towards the ground but that was not her concern, pulling those ten points back was.

Looking around for a while all Girty could see was purple until finally she saw some Orange and one of her fellow chasers. “Heads up!” She shouted over towards them and tossed the quaffle in their direction not slowing down too much as she had to get ready to do the overlap and get position back further up the pitch.

[Ellie Rook]

"Damn." Ellie swore as Bray wasn't able to save the quaffle. It was ok though. Ellie glance up at the score board. They were 30 points up. She would worried about having to catch the snitch immediatly if Slytherdor made another goal. For now, Ellie search calmly, keeping a side eye always on the same Gryffindor seeker.

Ellie remembered being that same and not making the team. She had tried out for Keeper her second year, but being so small, she was blown of course easily. Thankfully, she tried again and found she was pretty darn good as a seeker. She was no national league material like last years keepers Grace, but she was decent.

Ellie saw a glimpse of gold out of the corner of her eye, but she wasn't sure where it went, so she slowly drifted over to the spot where she had seen it. Looking around she didn't see anything. Looking straight down, she rushed downward. There it was. Ellie raced down toward the ground, her arm outstretched. She felt the feather of the snitch, but it must have felt her hand for it darted straight up. Ellie was caught unawares and afraid of hitting the ground, she pulled up, losing sight of the snitch completely. "Damn." she swore again.
