Ivy cheered as Kiyla intercepted the pass and then passed the Quaffle safely on to Nokomis. Unfortunately one of the older Gryffindor Chasers stole it off her before she had time to shoot. Ivy drew a sharp intake of breath and, seeing the girl try to pass to another Gryffindor, moved in to intercept the pass, the pain in her arm having subsided somewhat.
Jordan watched from above, her eyes starting to fog over on her. The sleet was coming down, but that didn't bother her. Jordan flew around the Hufflepuff side of the pitch once, and then spotted a free bludger. She glanced quickly at the red quaffle, seeing Gryffindor had it. And she flew towards the bludger, raised her bat, and aimed the swing at the Gryffindor chaser.

Cass flew behind Nasser to once again protect the him from a attack from the Hufflepuff beaters. She watched a bludger come straight at him, and attempted to beat the bludger away from him.

The pace of the game had suddenly become much faster, and all the Chasers from both teams were snatching the Quaffle from each other whenever they got the chance, but finally after a lot of passes Gryffindor was back in possession. Nasser was saved in the nick of time from a Bludger heading his way and he flew for the hoops to try and score. This time he aimed for the left goal hoop after pretending he was going for the middle one. He threw the Quaffle with all his strength, wondering whether he had managed to fool the Keeper or not.
Hufflepuff... Gryffindor... Hufflepuff... Gryffindor! Finally! The Gryffindors had the Quaffle and Nasser was trying to shoot a goal again. Robin was suddenly distracted though when he saw a younger Beater go and defend him from a Bludger that had almost stopped him, and his attention was brought back to checking where the Bludgers were now. There was one heading for Maria, so he flew towards it and tried to head it towards the Hufflepuff end of the pitch, at the Chaser he had hit before, Ivy Tunstall.
Jordan hit the bludger, but Cass had blocked it. Oh, joy. Jordan turned her broom around and went to look out for any bludgers that were heading towards her Hufflepuff team mates. She sighed as she saw a Gryffindor beater start to hit one, and aimed it at Ivy. Who seemed to be one of the prime targets in the game this time. As the bludger soared towards Ivy, so did Jordan. And she tried to block the harmful ball, it wasn't like the red ball Ivy had shown Jordan that one day in the classroom. No, this ball hurt.
Ivy gripped her leg where it had hit. Tears sprung to her eyes as she moaned, "Owww...". At least the pain in her leg took her mind off the pain in her arm, somewhat. She was going to be limping when she got off her broom, that was for sure, but she was not going to go to the hospital wing, wherever her friends tried to take her. She couldn't. And she wasn't going to give up yet, either. She urged her broom forward after the Gryffindor who was in possession, but it was too late. He was already trying to shoot, and she couldn't get there in time. But she was still in the game, injuries or not.

Cass watched Ivy take her third hit this game. Poor girl, but alls fair in Quidditch. She zoomed around the pitch, hoping by hope, that she would seem some of her friends in the stands. Unfortunately she didn't. She just had hoped they would come to see her.
Cass flew and permused Jordan. If anyone was a danger, it was the other team's beaters. She looked over her shoulder and saw a bludger coming her way. She tried to hit the bludger with all her might, and aim toward Jordan.
((attack on Jordan.))

The Golden Snitch zoomed back and forth whizzing around the pitch unnoticed. Around and around it flew riding the wind and enjoying being free. It occasionally stopped here and there but somehow avoided capture. Soon enough it got bored of it’s little game though and decided to slow down. Stopping for a moment the Snitch relaxed by a yellow banner, camouflaging itself in front of the bright poster.

"oooh!" Kim said as she saw the bright red Quaffle coming at her again! She was going to get it this time! "YAH!!!!" She exclaimed as she charged forward to grab the Quaffle!
Harry wasnt in the bests of moods. He wasnt into the game as much as he could be. Flying around the air, He watched some of the game, and most of the free air for the golden snitch. A fast fluttering flew past Harry's head, as he saw the Snitch fly towards the Hufflepuff banner. Turning his broom towards the snitch- he was off!

Valerie circled the pitch several times without a single sight of the snitch. Off to her right she heard a roar from the stands and she then saw Harry flying over towards the stands! The snitch! Valerie turned and chased after Harry as she squinted and finally saw a flicker of gold as the snitch was hovering near a banner.
Hufflepuff! *clap clap clap* Do your stuff! *clap clap clap*
Mia watched as the two seekers were chasing after the snitch. Her herat skiped many beats as they battled there way towards it. "Com on Harry!" She said to herself and saw that he had the snitch! She threw her arms up into the air and screamed along with the Gryffindors. It was their second match won and they were in the lead for the house cup. A huge smile went acorss her face as she looked at her team mate with a happy look. It was her last year and her last match well be in a couple of months and she really wanted to win the house cup before she left.
Jordan had narrowly dodged a bludger, and as she was doing so, something happened. Harry caught the snitch. Jordan stopped on her broom that caused her to lurch forward. It sent her flying off it and towards the ground. She didn't scream, but when she hit the ground she immediately sat up and tried to move her arms to make sure nothing was broken.
"Ow!" She whispered as she moved her right arm. Perfect.

Cass hit the bludger at almost the same moment that Harry caught the Snitch. She was elated. She didn't actually expect the game to end so early. She was elated in the screams from the stands. She was glad it was her first Quidditch match, and she hadn't fallen of her broom. She began to scream with the crowd.
She did look down to see Jordan on the ground. She felt bad about throwing that bludger at her. If she had known that game was about to be over, she wouldn't of done that.
She landed on the ground and tried to help Jordan up. "Look at that, We should get you to the hospital wing."
TWISTER My head says no, but my heart tells me go.
Ivy sighed as Harry Potter caught the Snitch for Gryffindor. "170-0", the commentator's voice rang out over the stands. She turned her head away from it, tears stinging her eyes again. She was in a good deal of pain and had to deal with that as well as the fact that she had let her team down again.
Ivy dismounted slowly and painfully from her broom, smiling off the worried glances of her teammates. They were all disappointed. Ivy felt very much that it was her fault. She should have got the Quaffle more often. She should have done better. She smiled wearily at a few members of the opposition before limping off to the locker rooms. She changed as quickly as she could, leaving before many of her other teammates had even arrived in the locker room, anxious to take shelter in her dormitory before the disappointed Hufflepuffs arrived. They had tried, but Ivy could only see their failure.
