A Cold and windy Saturday was the setting for the League Cup match between Hogwarts and Beauxbatons. The Quidditch pitch sat in a grassy field with a small brook running down the middle of the pitch. Around the edges of the pitch stood a dozen stands which were slowly filling up with students, staff and others. All together it prooved to be quite the beautiful site. It was also far less intimidating than Hogwarts last away match when they played in the U.S. National stadium. As last time, Hogwarts had been given only one stand and there were a few students and professors on hand to watch the match.
A loud bell rang which was followed by a door under the Hogwarts stand to open and soon out flew the Hogwarts team. As they emerged from their locker room they were greated by a mild chorus of boos and other taunts. Shortly after another bell rang and the Beauxbatons team emerged from their own locker room to the cheers and ovations of the home crowd. Madam Hooch took it all in as she stood in the center of the pitch next to the crate of balls. Watching both teams circling the pitch she watched them warm up. 'They get five more minutes'she thought to herself as she watched both teams circling the pitch.
(( Game will start tonight! For now just post taking your warm ups! ))

As captain, it was Catalina's responsibility to lead her team, and the best way she could do so was by example. Arriving first, Catalina was already fully dressed in her black Hogwarts quidditch robes when the rest of the team began to arrive. Pulling on her gloves and pads, Catalina patiently waited for the rest to get ready. Drumming her fingers on the bench still she waited, as the adrenaline began to pump through her body she couldn't wait any longer. Standing up Catalina walked to the middle of the locker room to address the team. "OK t'en, I hope ye all had time ter look at ye papers I gave ye. We really haf' ter play well terday, we haf' ter win if we want ter catch Salem fer te cup, ye kno? Right t'en, we are better t'en t'is team, let's show it! We can do it! Lets not let t'em even haf' a chance!" Catalina then walked over and sat down between Dawn and Celina "we haf ter win" she said to the two of them in a low voice as she gripped her Nimbus 2000 tightly and began to adjust her blue goggles.
Once the loud bell sounded, Catalina stood up and walked to the now open door. Mounting her broom she looked back at the team "LETS GO T'EN!" she said as she kicked off from the ground and zoomed out into the cold. Whizzing through the frigid air Catalina began to circle the pitch as she awaited the start of the game.

After the 5 minutes had passed, Madam Hooch blew her whistle calling for all the players to gather around. "Now I want a good clean game, no funny business!" She then kicked open then trunk and sent two bludgers flying into the cloudly sky, soon followed by the tiny snitch. Last she grabbed the quaffle and threw it into the air signaling the start of the game.
(( Opening face off. Dawn 5+3=8, Xavier 3+2=5
Dawn has the quaffle! ))

Pierre eagerly gripped his bat as the Hogwarts ref gave that same dumb speech as last time. "Right, whatever..." he said as he glared across the pitch at the English pigs. As the two bludger flew up his eyes focused on the one that flew off to his left. Once the quaffle was released he wheeled his broom around to the left and sped off after it. As he closed in on the bludger he swung his bat with all his might intent on knocking the Hogwarts seeker out of the game right now.
------------
Xavier zoomed foward and lunged for the quaffle only to have the Hogwarts witch take it first. Stopping hard he turned around and raced after the girl and pulled along side of her. As he closed in he brushed up against the girl and swung his right hand at the quaffle in the girl's hand, trying to rip it free.

Dawn was in the locker room as she was in full uniform and fully dressed. Eager engery flew through her. To her it felt everyone in the room could feel her energy flowign toward them. The buzzer went off and Dawn mounted her broom and zoomed off into the stadium. She didnt glance at the crowd as she started to circle the pitch. Beauxbaton team flew out. Dawn was ready. All of her nerves loosened as she thought in her head, *We gotta win!*
Dawn turned around and saw behind her all the Hogwarts Quidditch players. Dawn made sure she knew were Cat and Celina were. Dawn quickly looked at Perseus a beater and gave him a look of -You better be where I need you.- Dawn smiled as she got into the game. Another Chaser from the other team was up for the Open Face Off. His name was Xavier. Dawn gave him an evil look as she got the Quaffle.
She quickly tucked the Quaffle under her arm and dashed toward the Beauxbaton's side of the field. Dawn quickly saw a farmilar Chaster face not to far behind her. Dawn took the Quaffle in hand and threw it to Cat.

Raul circled in his end of the pitch as the play soon came towards him. Seeing the Hogwarts chasers trying to pass to each other he waited, then dove forward and reached out with his right hand intent on knocking down the pass and taking it back the other way.

Harry In full uniform sat with his Firebolt in hand. He listened to Cat's speech and didnt say anything before the game. Harry's first game in quite awhile he was overwelmed. Harry Heard the buzzer sound. He mounted his broom and went zooming throught the pitch.
The game began and he went to look for the snitch. With in a few seconds Harry heard yelling, he turned and saw the bludger comming his way. He quickly changed into a nose dive on his broom, to try to get away from the angery ball comming his way.

Celina was sitting calmly on the bench, in deep thought. She had on her Hogwarts Quidditch robes and was tightly clutching her Firebolt. When Catalina started talking, she looked up. Catalina then came and sat between her and Dawn. Taking a deep breath Celina said, "Good luck, girls!"
As a loud bell rang Celina got up and walked out to the pitch. Out in the open she could see everyone booing at them. It didn't daunt her. She had been through this before at Salem. Soon the Beauxbaton team were out in the pitch. She looked at each and every one of the players, paying close attention to the chasers. It was essential that they won this game. Celina knew that.
As the whistle rang Celina mounted her broom and kicked off to a start. Dawn had hold of the quaffle. Celina zoomed towards throwing distance from Dawn, keeping an eye on the bludgers all the time.
(( Will the real match be here or in the Loire Valley? And this is my 100th post. Yay me!! ))

Saski stark marched down the quidditch pitch for the Hogwarts versus Beauxbaton game, they had played them before and Hogwarts had been the victors. Her raven locks were flying madly in the breeze and the sixth year Slytherin, in her Hogwarts’ colours, stomped on her way. Saski was ready, she was wanted to take on and beat the Beauxbaton team one more time, especially after Hogwarts’ dismal defeat by Salem, she could not and would not want that to repeat itself.
Saski walked into the lockers, and walked around psyching herself up, she then marched on the field energised. The cold wind hit her hard as she exited the locker room; it had been much warmer inside. Madam Hooch was already there and Saski did not wait for anyone to tell her a thing, she hopped on her broom and took of down the pitch her club in hand, warming up. A few minutes later she heard the whistle blow, Madam Hooch was starting the game.
Saski landed her broom and took her position on the pitch; she looked at the Beauxbaton players venomously. Madam Hooch volleyed the quaffle into the air after the bludgers and snitches, Saski’s eyes flashed after a bludger and then her eyes fixed on the Beauxbaton team, “Which one of you wants to be first?” she said, speaking to herself.

Saski saw the bludger coming after Harry, and though she would like nothing better to see him pummelled by some bludger, she knew that without him they would never get the snitch and win the game. Saski raced over to him and placed herself between him and the bludger, she watched as it grew nearer and then swung her club hard towards the Beauxbaton chase who was after the quaffle.

Celeste raced back as Hogwarts had the quaffle and their chaser now was trying to score. Celeste raced after the girl and banged into her then grabbed the quaffle in her hands and tried to wrestle it away from her.
------
Jacques watched the bludger attack suddenly take a turn and head back towards his own team. Racing ahead he put himself on a collision course with the bludger in hopes to save Raul. As he closed in the iron ball he lifted his bat and swung it, hopeful that it would go right back and clobber the English witch who had sent it at Raul.
---------
Adaliz watched the Hogwarts chasers approach her goal, HER goal. She would not surrender goals this time. As the girl came close, Adaliz followed her preparing to stop any and all shots she would try and make.
-------
Pierre scoffed as the bludger missed it's intended target, still the game was young, he'd soon enough drill the glasses off that boy. Circling the pitch he soon found the other bludger and raced over to it. As he chased it down he swung it as hard as he could, again taking aim at the Hogwarts seeker.

The game was underway and Dawn had taken the quaffle. Catalina raced after her and saw one of the Beauxbaton chasers try and steal the quaffle from her, luckily she held onto it. The red ball then flew towards Catalina. Reaching out she grabbed it just before one of the Beauxbatons players could get it. She then raced ahead towards the goal hoops "watch my back!" Catalina called out to the others as she raced ahead into the scoring zone. Drawing near the hoops she raised the ball to her left hand and flung it as hard as she could towards the far left hoop and watched it fly through the air.

Saski gave an evil grin as she felt the bludger connect with her club, she watched it as it sailed at the Beauxbaton chaser, “I hope it gets him,” she thought to herself. She looked at Harry, “Watch it next time Potter or I may not be able to keep that bludger away from you. You job is to get that snitch so do it!”

Alicia walked out to the pitch and got on to her Nimbus 2003. The Beauxbaton players looked quite demeaning. She breathed in and out with a sigh. Saying a silent prayer, she flew towards the Hogwarts goal as the whistle blew. She watched the game proceed. The quaffle was in the Beauxbaton's side. This meant that she had nothing much to do at the moment. She just had to look out for any bludgers coming her way. At the moment though, it seemed as though everyone, save one or two, were at the other side of the field. "Go Cat!!" she screamed as Catalina tried to score a goal.

Harry straighted out, after his nose dive and went to his normal height. He was close to Saski as he heard her comment. Harry didnt mind. He was in the game, and she was someone who helped him in a tough situation. Harry nodded at her as he went off to search or the snitch. He turned to go the oppisite way he was facing as he saw, yet another iron ball of metal fly his way. Harry quickly pulled his broom to the right to dodge the bludger soaring toward his body.

Perseus walked onto the field, feeling that the Beauxbatons team looked manacing and ominous. He shouldered his beaters bat, mounted his Firebolt, and kicked off, automatically flying above the game, trying to see if there were any bludgers.

Adaliz cursed under her breathe as the quaffle went into the goal hoop. Racing back she grabbed it and looked down the pitch, spotting Xavier, she threw the quaffle over to him.
