Dawn sat in the locker room, in full uniform, waiting for the rest of her team mates to arrive and get ready. This was Dawn's first game as captian and she didnt want to mess up. She knew if they lost this game she would have to take full blame for it all. There was a good deal of time before the game, when her players filttered in the locker room.
Dawn Stood up and made a motion for everyone to quiet down. "Okay everyone,.. Quiet.." "Alright everyone, Well this is a few people's first games outside of the Interhouse ones. Its no Big. Now you have a reason to show no mercy!" she grined as she went on. " Just think you can now steal the ball, block a shot, or beat down a player and not care about people in your classes poisioning your food." She shook her head as she turned to Savannah, "Okay girl. You are going to Win this game for us!" she said excited "but I want you to keep your eyes open. I can bet you there are going to be alot of bludgers hit toward you today. Keep on your toes." she grinned as she walked away to her locker.
At her locker she took out her Nimbus. Holding it impatiently in her hands she looked toward the beaters, sitting not to faw away from her. "Hey you two. Okay you both are a Major part in this. Watch all of us like hawks! I mean, I heard that there is One beater on Durmstrang and well, he is a real fierce one. " she put her hand on Jaquin's should and walked toward Alicia. " Hey Alicia, Some words to keep in mind. Keep your eyes open and stay on your feet. They have one chaser on there team what might try a few quick ones on you. Watch out for that." Dawn nodded as she turned and walked away.
A few feet away Dawn found Celina and Nasser. Sitting next to Celina, Dawn spoke up. "Okay you guys. I heard many things about Durmstrang. They have two wicked players on there team we all need to watch out for." Dawn emphasised on her fingers the two players. "Alright, first off there is a Beater who is a fierce bugger. He will probably attempt to take all of us out once or twice. So watch out for him!" she warned as she moved on. "And secondly, they have a real good chaser on their team. Most likely if you are caught with the quaffle and he is near buy, he will attempt to take it way. So Remember to fight for it." Dawn knew it was close to game time. She stood up and started to pace the floor in front of Celina and Nasser, with her broom in hand. "Oh Oh,.. and Also Two Major things! At any chance you have Make a shot! Its better to get in the game than stay on the side lines. And last Make sure you know where each other are at all times. I'd work out for the best." Dawn looked at Nasser as she said the last line.
Dawn walked around the locker room. She was getting a bit giddery before the game, But once she is in the air, she would be fine. Dawn walked back to her locker and took out a pin she had made for the Beauxbaton game. It said 'Chaser' In gold and a Green gem, resembling her House 'Slytherin'. Dawn pinned it on her game uniform, and sat down waiting for the buzzer to sound for the beinning of the game.

Savannah sat in the locker room with her Hogwarts uniform on. As she waited for the others to get done changing she idly twirled her Cleansweep around in her fingers. In her mind she was going over the upcoming match and how she could best out duel the other seeker. This was her first match in which she got to play. The past 4 matches she had watched Harry, Cho and Draco, studied what worked for them and what didn't work in Draco's case against Salem. While she replayed the previous games Dawn began her talk. Savannah was only half listening until Dawn came right up to her, something about bludgers. Nodding her head slightly, Savannah went back to her previous thoughts as Dawn walked around the room speaking to the other members of the team.
In this fashion Savannah fell into a deep trance state as she stared at the door leading to the pitch. It was not until the horns sounded, signaling that they were to enter the stadium did she finally stir.

The Durmstrang Quidditch stadium sat nestled in a valley right below the school. Far different from Beauxbatons, Durmstrang’s pitch had not one patch of green grass. All was covered with ice and snow. Bitter cold winds blew in off of the mountains making the flags atop the stands violently twirl. Pulling her cloak tightly around her, Madam Hooch walked to the center of the pitch and bent down next to the trunk of balls.
Overhead an enormous horn bellowed and the doors to the two locker rooms slide open. Both teams flew out onto the pitch for their warm up laps. Unlike previous matches away from Hogwarts, this time nearly half the stands were filled with Hogwarts students.
Watching both teams circling above her, Madam Hooch decided to give them a couple more minutes before beginning the match.

It was the day of the match. All the Hogwarts team was gathered in the locker room and Dawn was giving everybody some last-minute advice on some Quidditch tactics, and other info about the Durmstrang players.
Nasser was not talking very much. He was already ready and seated beside his friend and fellow Chaser Celina Bluewick. This was his first match with another school's team, and Nasser kept vowing to himself to play well and do his best. Feeling rather nervous he looked at Celina who was slightly less nervous; after all she had played in matches with other schools before. Soon Dawn approached them and Nasser listened closely to what she was saying, noticing her last comment which was directed to him. He would make sure to do as their Quidditch Captain advised and make sure he knew where Dawn and Celina were during the match.
Soon he heard the horns sounding to inform them it was time to go to the pitch. Nasser clutched his Firebolt tightly and walked after his team onto the pitch, his face set with a grim expression and full of determination.

Post by Jaquin Prokenstien on Apr 7, 2004 0:13:35 GMT
Jaquin had made certain that his Beater skills were tip top, and he was very adept, and had pinpoint accuracy (90% of the time). Not only had he worked hard to ameliorate his skills in hitting the bludger, but, he had also improved his speedy flying and maneuvers. So, Jaquin felt confident that he would to all right at the Quidditch game.
The team had been assembled right before the game and he sat down, with the school team robes on and his Nimbus 2003 shouldered. But, he couldn’t stop figgeting because of his anxiousness to begin the game, and felt even more exasperated when Dawn began another prep-talk. When she reached his job and responsibilities, he nodded his head in concurrence. He would be ready to take some heads off if needed (most were unaware of his feirce, evil side of his personality).
A few moments later, the team kicked off from the icey round for their warm up laps. Jaquin un-shouldered his Nimbus 2003 and kicked off, twirling his bat in a figure eight as he went. He practiced some of the backhand sweap swings and so on as he waited for the game to begin.....

Post by Perseus Feynman on Apr 7, 2004 0:26:52 GMT
Perseus was confident about his skills, for the last week, he and Jaquin had been training for the Quidditch match. They had both found that they were very adept. Perseus had significantly meliorated his defensive skills and could dodge a bludger on broom without even looking at it. Meanwhile, Jaquin had greatly ameliorated his attack skills, making his hits precise down to the centimeter.
At the prep-talk, Perseus sat down next to Jaquin and greeted, "Hey, Jaquin, lets knock some people off their brooms!" He essentially ignored half of what Dawn was saying, as he and Jaquin had worked out some fairly sophisticated, but, very usefull plans for this game. He would be playing mostly defense while Jaquin bombarded the other team, or both would be offensive, and multitudinous other strategies.
It was the beginning of the Quidditch match and Perseus mounted his Firebolt, kicked off and began to warm up..

Dawn, in a daze, Heard horn sound from the stadium. She quickly turned around in her locker and found her gloves she forgot to put on for the game. Slipping on her gloves she mounted her broom. Watching a few people go ahead of her she smiled as she flew into the pitch.
Dawn quickly glaced at the crowds as she went her rounds around the pitch. A smile appeared on her face as a cold chill went down her spine. 'Great weather. Hopefully everyone gets used to it and Fast!' she thought as she took her eyes off the crowd and got into the game. Dawn felt comfortable and just waited for the whistle to be blown, for the beginning of the Game.

Celina was in the locker room. She was in deep concentration, clearing her mind of all thoughts. She had been practising her Quidditch quite a bit lately and had divised some new tactics which she hoped to use in the game. She knew how important this game was and it was essential that she played her very best.
Her good friend Nasser was sitting beside her. He seemed rather nervous. It was normal since it was his first game. In fact, Celina was a little nervous too though she didn't show it. She was happy that he would be playing as chaser too. Soon Dawn came and sat down beside her. She listened as Dawn gave them some tips. Nodding her head, she gave Dawn a small 'all the best' smile as the captain got up and walked off.
Suddenly the horn sounded and the locker room doors opened wide. The sounds of cheering supporters in the stands could be heard. Gripping her Firebolt in her right hand, Celina took a deep breath and stood up. She was quite calm and prepared by now. As they walked out she turned to Nasser, grinned and wished him good luck. Once on the pitch, she mounted her broom and took a few small rounds to warm up.

Madam Hooch blew her whistle and once all players had landed in front of her she addressed them. "I want a good clean game, no funny business. On my whistle mount your brooms. Three, Two, One" Madam Hooch then blew her whistle and kicked open the trunk. Two bludgers immediately flew out, soon followed by the tiny snitch. She then grabbed the red quaffle and threw it up into the air signaling the start of the match.
Face off
Jonas 3+2=5, Dawn 4+3=7
Dawn gets the quaffle!

At the sound of the whistle Dawn flew toward the ground. Nodding her head, at the sound of the second whistle she mounted her broom and flew after the quaffle that was thrown in the air. Quickly Grabbing the quaffle she tucked it quickly under her arm and flew quickly toward the Durmstrang goals. The cold air blew in her face as she should hardly open her eyes. Dawn turned with her eyes squinted. She saw Celina not to far away. 'Come on Girl.' Dawn thought to herself. She forcefully threw the quaffle behind her and ducked out of the way, so that she could keep on going forward toward the goals.

The game started and Dawn had hold of the quaffle. Celina raced towards her, dodging Durmstrang players and bludgers. She saw Dawn race towards the other end of the field. Taking a dive to avoid a bludger, she accelerated towards Dawn, the wind blowing past her roughly. As Dawn threw the quaffle, Celina held out her arms and grabbed it before a Durmstrang player could intercept. She then zoomed towards the goal. It was getting nearer and nearer. She was moving so fast she could see neither Dawn nor Nasser. As the goal hoops neared, she dived down ten feet, swerved to avoid a Durmstrang chaser, took aim and threw the quaffle at the left-side hoop. Holding her breath, Celina followed its path.

Henrik finds a bludger flying around freely. He pulls out his bat and swings it to the Chaser on the other team, who just made a point.

Dawn quickly follows Celina as she catches her pass. Celina shoots, and Scores! "Yes!" Dawn exclaimed as she got low to her broom and, quickly flew toward the chaser that the keeper on the other team was passing the quaffle to. Dawn got between the two, and streched her arms out to intercept the quaffle.

Celina punched her arm in the air as she scored. In less than a few seconds, she saw a bludger come right at her. In an instant, she swerved to the right and flew forwards, hoping it missed her.

Nasser had not done much so far. The weather was rather windy but not too much to make flying too difficult. Nasser kept his eyes on Dawn and Celina, in case they should need to pass the Quaffle. So far the game was going well and they were up by 20 points. Nasser flew after the Quaffle avoiding a bludger which was heading straight towards Celina.
