[JordanCortes]

Jordan sighed in defeat as she missed the bludger. Of course, she thought. But she didn't think too much. She snapped out of her reverie and kept her eyes on the game, watching intently for any sign of a bludger going towards her team mates or a possible shot at the other team.

It was the first day of the inter-house quidditch matches, and today’s match was between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Both teams were fired up, the winner would advance to play against the winner of the Slytherin Gryffindor match. Alexa Lee, was a chaser on the Ravenclaw team, and she had been for some time now, except last year when she was away when quidditch time came around.

Alexa sat on her bed, hyping herself up for the match, she wanted to win and it helped if she got her adrenalin pumping before the game actually began. Her hair was pinned up all neat and tidy, she didn’t need anything in her eyes during the game. Once she got herself sufficiently ready, she picked up her broom, and Nimbus 2000; yes people had the newer 2001 and the Firebolt, but she liked her Nimbus 2000 just fine. She wore her blue quidditch robes and marched her way to the pitch.

Alexa got the stadium and did a few warm-ups before it was time for the game to start. They all hopped on their brooms and rose high above the screaming crowd, as Madam Hooch stepped up the chest to release the quaffle, snitch and bludgers, to start the game. Alexa could hear her heart in her ears as the balls were released and the game official began.

The game proceeded well and soon Alexa was up. She raced towards the action and caught the quaffle from her fellow teammate Savannah, a young Hufflepuff named Nokomis tried to intercept, but failed. Alexa cupped the quaffle tightly under her arm and she raced, zigzagging towards the goal. She made and move for the right goal and then looked to fake to the left, but didn’t; instead she kept on plan and let the quaffle fly towards the right goal.

[Kim Sullivan H4]

Kim sat on her broom by her goal posts. Being the keeper was pretty boring, no one stayed near you for too long. It was always rush rush then away they'd go leaving her alone. As the whistle sounded Kim watched Nokomis miss the Quaffle then miss it once more, Jordan swung at a bludger and also missed. Now two Ravenclaws were heading right towards her. Wait, that meant they are trying to score! Kim suddenly realized what was happened and tightened her gloves hastily and followed the one girl with her eyes and watched her, she was heading to the left goal. Kim flew over to defend the left goal when the girl threw the Quaffle to the right goal! "D'oh!" exclaimed as she flew as fast as she could to block the shot.

[Kim Sullivan H4]

Kim sighed as she missed the Quaffle and it went through the hoop. Flying down towards the ground she picked up the Quaffle and flew back up to the hoops. Looking around she found Kiyla flying towards her, "KIYLA GET IT!!" Kim yelled as she threw the Quaffle to Kiyla as hard as she could.

[Head Girl Andi]

Catalina pumped her fist in the air as Alexa scored the first goal! "YAH ALEXA!" Catalina said as she zoomed towards the goal post and watched Kim with the quaffle, a pass was coming and Catalina knew it. "Alexa! Savannah! Cover 3!" Catalina called out the play to the other chasers as she kept an eye on the quaffle. She'd cover this area while the other two would cover their own areas forming a blanket, one of them would be able to get Kim's pass. As luck would have it, Kim threw the ball towards Catalina. Making a sharp turn Catalina chased after the quaffle and reached out to get it before the Hufflepuff girl got it.

(( Kim passes to Kiyla, Catalina tries to intercept

[KiylaJohnson]

Kiyla zoomed around the pitch watching the game progress and she flew towards Kim ready and williing to help. She heard Kim call out to her and try to pass her the quaffle but Catilina intercepted and Kiyla groaned inwardly at her lack of skills.

Kiyla bit her lip in concentration as she flew closer to another Ravenclaw who she thought Catalina might throw the quaffle to.

[Head Girl Andi]

Catalina reached out and caught the Quaffle in flight before it reached the intended Hufflepuff. Tucking the ball tightly to her side she pushed her broom forward and raced towards the goal hoops. Looking to her right she pointed to Savannah. Zooming in closer to the goal hoop, Catalina raised the ball in her left hand and faked a pass to Savannah. Instead of the pass though she pulled the ball back and threw it as hard as she could at the far left goal hoop.

[Kim Sullivan H4]

Kim saw her pass get intercepted and the chasers again coming towards her. She saw the fake pass but didn't buy it this time. Instead she chased after the Quaffle intent on stopping it before it went in the goal hoop.

[Hannah Abbott MacMillan]

Hannah had watched as Jordan had tried to hit a bludger at Savannah and missed. She gave her an encouraging smile, and soared off in search of the other bludger. Once she found it she smiled and got a sturdy hold on her bat.

Looking around, Hannah searched for a target. Found one. Catalina. Hannah nodded, raised her bat and swung as hard as she could. Hoping to hear the sound of iron hitting wood.

[Kim Sullivan H4]

Kim sighed as another goal was scored. She couldn't give up yet though. Chasing after the Quaffle she picked it up and flew back over to her goal post. "Kiyla!" She yelled again but this time passed the Quaffle to Nokomis trying to fool the othe team with a trick play.

[Head Girl Andi]

(( Time out! Madam Hooch I am making a substitution. Savannah is coming out of the game and Celina is coming in as a chaser, thank you. ))

[irishmist]

As the substitution was made, Celina kicked off the ground and sped towards Kim. She raced right at her and as soon as she was a few inches away, she reached out her right arm and tried to intercept the pass.

[Nokomis Astarra H5]

She was feeling like she was letting the team down already when she saw the quaffle flying at her, a Ravenclaw chaser not far behind it.

She opened her mouth and let out a slight gasp before she forced her broom forward and tried to grab the quaffle before the other team got it.

[Ivy Tunstall]

((Your evenings are my small hours; keeping up with the posting is extremely difficult.))

Ivy was hovering over the pitch, trying to keep with the game play. All the other Chasers were so much older! And already Ravenclaw had scored two goals and they had scored absolutely none. She felt like a failure, and she was letting her team down. She was sure of that.

Now Ivy moved forward, hoping to be able to be of help to her fellow Chasers and intercept any passes that might be made. Her heart was beating fast and she felt very small compared to the older Chasers, despite the fact she was taller than one of them.

[Valerie Rice]

Valerie sighed as Ravenclaw scored once more. Flying over to where Jordan and Hannah were she waved at the both of them. "Come on girls! Keep trying! You have to get their chasers away from Kim!" She then rose up high above the rest of the players and looked down trying to spot any signs of the snitch.
