Jordan looked over her shoulder at the others. They were doing fine, but Jordan, she was trying to keep herself alive, along with the others. She really needed another team mate. Oh well, She thought to herself as she swung at the bludger that had come flying toward her. She missed and it hit her in the gut. She wrenched forward on her broom and gasped for air. Slowly it came and she sighed deeply. She looked up in time to see the bludger heading towards Kiyla. She gripped her broom and zoomed, arm raised she swung and saved Kiyla from a powerful mishap with the bludger. She smiled at her team mate and soared off to make sure no one else got bloodied up.

(( No one tried to get Nokomis' pass so I've got the ball now. Jordan, let's try and use the real Quidditch bludger system. So lets say the bludger is flying at Kim now, try to hit the bludger at the targets. ))
Valerie saw Jordan arrive and Kim release a bludger. It would be pretty boring for Jordan to just fly and swat the bludger away all day long. Taking out her wand, Valerie pointed it towards the center of the pitch, "Baubelus-people" out of her wand shot several people sized bubbles that hovered around in the air gently swaying the wind. "Jordan get them!" Valerie said as she flew past Jordan and pointed to the targets.
Valerie caught the quaffle and quickly switched it to her right hand as she flew off towards the goal hoops. It had been a few years since she last played chaser but she still remembered all her old moves. Zipping in a wide circle she flew behind the goal hoops and spotted Nokomis. Raising the ball in her hand she threw the quaffle to where Nokomis was.

Kiyla, who was getting nearer to Nokomis at the time, zoomed forwards amd reached for the quaffle that was flying towards Nokomis. Kiyla felt like an idiot for letting Nokomis get it before she so she was hopign this time she would catch it.

Ivy watched apprehensively as Kiyla made to intercept the Quaffle. At this moment doubts were surfacing in her mind as to whether she should even be on this pitch, playing with these people. She certainly hadn't proved she deserved to be there.
'You're here now, so make the best of it,' she told herself firmly, trying to figure out what the best next move would be, zooming in a direction that she supposed would probably turn out to be the wrong one.
"Get it Kiyla!" she yelled at her friend, who was zooming towards Nokomis and the Quaffle.

She could see Kyila flying towards her, and guessed that she was going to attempt to intercept the quaffle. part of her wanted to let her friend catch it--Kyila seemed to be so sensative about things, and she wanted to help her friend become more confident.
She had to catch herself though. This was a pratice match, and she needed to play like her friend was from a different house. She did a swift swerve to the side, dropping down and then coming back up in front of Kyila--tryign to cut her off from her path to the quaffle, and place her directly in it, as she attempted to catch it.

Feeling the quaffle in her hands again she felt like she was in a daze....second time she had compleated a move sucessfully for the second time that day. She had to return to reality fast thought, as the goal hoops were fast approching. She glanced over to see Valerie, now further away them before, and she despratly wished the older girl was there to make the first attempt at a goal, but looking ahead again, it seemed that the pressure was on her, and she gathered her stregnth and threw the quaffle as hard as she could towards the one furtherst to the right.

Kim watched the quaffle progress slowly make it's way towards her. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Jordan flying around swinging her bat. Soon Nokomis was coming in but Kim spotted a black ball heading for her! "AAAH!!!" Kim shrieked and pushed herself into a sharp dive to get away from the bludger, "Jordan heeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!"

Jordan looked up. The bludger was heading straight for Kim. She soared over and wacked at the ball. It whizzed away and circled again.
"Your welcome!" She said before Kim could say thanks, she flew off and batted at the bludger again, aiming it for the bubble. The bludger went straight threw the bubble and made a loud, POP! It circled again and she hit it once more.

Kiyla groaned as Nokomis caught the quaffle and was getting ready to throw it through a goal post. Kiyla willed her broom to go as fast as possible. Seeing a bludger coming for Kim Kiyla yelled, "Bludger!!!!" And Kim dived teh bludger and Kiyla heads over to the goal post and tries to grab teh quaffle.

(( Jordan we are using the Quidditch rules, so you will need to wait for dice rolls to determine if you succeed or not. Also Jordan I need your Quidditch skill points before you can do any more dice rolls!!! ))
Bludger goes after Kim, Jordan tries to block it
Bludger 6, Jordan 2
Jordan misses the bludger
Bludger goes after Kim
Kim's bludger skill is 1
Bludger 4, Kim 1+1=2
Kim is hit by the bludger! ( Minor hit )
Nokomis shoots, since Kim was dodging the bludger Nokomis scores
Nokomis / Valerie 10
Ivy / Kiyla 0
Ivy / Kiyla have the ball. (( whoever shows up first can just take it ))

Ivy watched resignedly as Nokomis caught the Quaffle. 'Great', she thought. Ivy pushed her broom towards the goal, which Nokomis was now speeding towards. 'Come on.... come on!', she urged it. It was a fast broom she had. She just wished she had the skill to go with it. Ivy saw Nokomis release the Quaffle towards the goalpost. 'Oh no,' she thought. She made to grab the Quaffle, but saw Kiyla coming much closer to it than she was. "You get it!" Ivy yelled to Kiyla, so that there was no confusion, and drew back, hoping that Nokomis wouln't score. Ivy watched as Kiyla failed to intercept the ball, then as Kim was hit by a Bludger. 'Ouch!', she thought, sympathising with the older girl. Nokomis scored. 'Oh well', Ivy thought, taking the Quaffle. She came round to try to level the score. "Am I supposed to be shooting in this goalpost?", Ivy shouted, whether to Valerie or Kim she didn't know. She knew that the hesitation would probably end up costing them the Quaffle, but she was really confused as to what she was supposed to be doing and this was a practice, so she wasn't going to get everything right. 'Would help if you got anything right,' she told herself savagely.  |

"OWWW!" Kim wailed as the bludger hit her in the lower leg causing her to spin around. Looking back at her goal hoop she saw the quaffle go through a hoop, "grrr!" Kim growled as she zoomed back up to her goal hoops ready to defend them once more. (( Ivy we are playing on only half the pitch. The bludger is now after Valerie!  )) |

She hovered in the air for a few extended moments. She just made a goal. She couldn't believe it. A goal...quaffle went through the right hoop and everything. Even if it is probably just because Kim was distracted, she was stunned at the action. Maybe she would be better and this than she though....
She gave him a half smile, as if to say sorry for the bludger, thought she knew she had no part in it, and she had a feeling that Kim would move on from the bludger attack as quickly as she moved on from anything.
Nokomis then heard Ivy yell, and she turned on her broom, flying slightly closer to her friend.
"You have to make a pass first, then one of you can try to shoot it"
She started to explain, hoping she was telling Ivy the right thing. She had tired hard to study all the Quidditch rules, so embarased at the thought of making a mistake it made her stick to her stomach again.

Ivy smiled thankfully at Nokomis as she pointed out she had to make a pass. It wasn't as if she hadn't studied the rules carefully, but she was getting stressed now, and she forgot things when she was stressed.
"Right, OK," Ivy said to Nokomis, smiling a little as she realised it was her friend who had scored the goal, and taking a look at what else was going on on the pitch. She then accelarated away from Nokomis quickly. She just hoped she'd manage to leave her behind. She doubted she would. Nokomis was too good.
"C'mon, where are you Kiyla?" Ivy muttered, looking to find a good position in where to pass to her. Ivy was getting used to this. Passing to Kiyla. It always seemed to fail. Probably her bismal throwing skills.
"Might as well try," she told herself aloud, and threw the Quaffle to Kiyla. "Please catch it," she said under her breath.

Kiyla smirked at Nokomis had the goal. Ivy had the quaffle now and was a little confused on what to do now. Kiyla started ot go over to Ivy to explain but Nokomis got there first. Kiyla waited and then she saw Ivy move away from Nokomis and Kiyla followed suit. Soon the quaffle was in the air heading towards Kiyla. Kiyla reached out, ready to catch it, "Please let me catch it this time. After all i missed it twice already!" Kiyla groaned under her breathe.

She took off after Ivy, but she didn't get started as fast as she had hoped. She was further back than she wanted to be....She tried to swerve to the side so she was closer to Kyila, hoping to intersept the quaffle there instead...

The quaffle was flying at her, and she was so far back she was sure she would miss--but she was between Kyila and the ball.....Next thing she knew, she had let go of the broom with both hands, and stretched forward, the quaffle brushing her fingertips on her left but caught with her right. She had to reach down fast with her free hand and grab her broom, almost falling from her attempt.
The quaffle now safley in her hands, she felt color rising in her cheeks as she paused for a moment. She did it again. She almost wished she had missed so that Kyila had gotten a chance at the ball again.
She glanced over at her firned, giving her a quick, sympathetic smile before turning her broom so that she plumited down, hoping to throw the other two off, as she tried to get closer to Valerie from below.

Kiyla was so fed up with herself. Okay she could handle missing the ball once, and twice she would have to deal with but THREE times she was sick. She wanted to girl up. She felt tears coming to her eyes but willed them away.
Then Nokomis smiled at her making her feel worse. Oh don't you humor me Kiyla thought angrily. She was on fire. She felt th heat rushing to her face but she knew she must NOT get mad. Angry with herself Kiyla flew her broom so that she was over Nokomis hoping that Ivy would stay on near so they can both have the chance to intercept when the time came. Kiyla had flew close to Valerie ready to try to intercept if the time came.
