She was soon close enough to the older girl that she thought it was safe to attempt a pass, and she let her broom rise
"Val!"
she shouted to make sure she had the seventh years full attention as she left the quaffle fly in her direction.

Kiyla saw that Ivy was closest to the Quaffle and Val.
"Go for it Ivy!!!" Kiyla yelled out to Ivy. She hoped that she would catch it...
"Please let her catch it lord please!" Kiyla prayed silently.

Ivy watched, feeling slightly sick as everything messed up once again. "Great," Ivy thought to herself, "you've made a great first display of how rubbish you are."
Nokomis started to pass to Valerie. Well, even if she didn't manage to do anything else useful, she could at least try to intercept it. Ivy sped towards the Quaffle, hearing Kiyla urge her on.
She reached out to grab the Quaffle. She just hoped she would manage to secure it in her hands.

Ivy felt a hopeful upsurge as she finally got something right. 'Concentrate', she told herself firmly, supressing the slight happiness at having finally managed something.
She urged her broom forward as fast as it would go, feeling the threat from behind her. The Quaffle was struggling in her hands, but she kept a firm grip on it.
Ivy looked around for Kiyla. She was in a good position and looked ready to catch the ball. Ivy gave her an encouraging smile. Their lack of sucess had made them both feel slightly down, she reasoned.
Ivy threw the Quaffle to Kiyla. 'Please don't drop it!', Ivy prayed. She just hoped no one came to try to intercept the ball, since this was the first time in the game they really had the upper hand at all. 'Do we even have the upper hand?' Ivy asked herself. To be honest she didn't really know. She knew the rules of Quidditch quite well but not really tactics or anything complicated like that.
Ivy watched nervously as the Quaffle covered distance towards Kiyla. She hoped it arrived.

Kiyla almost screamed as Ivy caught the ball. She was so happy that she nearly fell of the broom but she had to calm herself quickly. She looked over at Ivy and saw her passing the quaffle to her.
As the quaffle was nearer Kiyla could feel the tenseness coming from Ivy. 'Let me catch it, please oh please let me catch it.' She thought as she reached out for the quaffle ready to try and catch it.

A brilliant grin crossed her face as Ivy caught the ball. She of course would have been just as happy if her own teammate had managed to grab it, but since Ivy was a chaser for the team, and hadn't had the ball much, she was thrilled that she had a sucessful attempt.
"Great job Ivy!"
She called, truly happy at the play.
She then had to switch back into quidditch mode, and she turned on her broom, flying towards Kyila now. She seemed to figure out that Valerie was playing just to make them work, so she needed to try and intercept, since the older girl wasn't going to.
She let her broom plumit again, one of the few moves hshe had managed to get a strong handle over in the last month, and then brought it back up just a bit behind Kyila and made a grab for the approching quaffle

Ivy's heart sank as Nokomis, who had just shouted something inaudible at her, zoomed to cut across the Quaffle's path.
'Here we go again'. she thought gloomily.
'"Get it Kiyla!", she yelled in encouragement to her friend, who was looking quite nervous. Ivy just hoped she did mangage to catch it.

OOC: Now i have my skill points I am able to do this...
IC: Jordan looks around, no sign of the bludger. Wait. There it was. A blur of black. Jordan's eyes narrowed and a small smile went across her face. But the bludger was heading toward Valerie, oh great. Ok, Jordan breathe and GO! she thought to herself. She soared toward it, her arm raised and ready for the strike. The bludger floated there, taunting her to hit it, so she swung...

The bludger. She missed it. Why? She sighed and smiled apologetically at Valerie, who actually dodged the bludger. Thank goodness. Now Jordan looked to see where the black ball was. She couldnt see it. But she didnt give up. Every once in awhile she would watch the game. But, go back to looking for the bludger. When she heard whirring noise she looked up and saw the bludger heading right for her. Her eyes got wide and she started to raise her bat when the bludger suddenly changed course and flew towards a bubble. Jordan flew after it and raised her bat to strike it. But again, the bludger moved off course. Jordan sighed and chased after it once more.

It was starting to feel almost natural--to have the quaffle in her hands. She was sorry for the interception in the aspect of it seemed to severly limit Kyila's playing time. She struggled to push that thought out of her mind. If this was a real game, she wouldn't get distracted by such throughts, and she needed to focus. She need to get the quaffle to Valerie.
She did her now rather trademark move and let her broom plumit so she could come up just below Valerie to make the pass to her. Luckily, Val wasn't too far away, and soon she came up near her teammate.
"Valerie!"
She yelled, throwing the red leather ball towards the seventh year and wathing it cover the distance between them.

"I should just give up." Kiyla said sadly as Nokomis stole the quaffle from her for the fourth time. The fourth time. Not the first, not the second, not even the third, but the fourth. Kiyla was close to tears now but she knew she had to choke them back. She couldn't bring herself to look at Ivy so instead she looked over to where Valerie was to see that Nokomis was about to pass. Kiyla started to accelerate towards the quaffle which was getting closer and closer to Valerie each second. She figured that if she even attempted to try she'd miss, but she thought she should at least try anyway. She just hoped Ivy wasn't blaming herself for their lack of points. Kiyla knew it was her, Kiyla Johnson's, fault.
Spite the protests in her head telling her to give up Kiyla reached out her arms hoping that she would catch the quaffle.

Ivy watched resignedly as Nokomis stole the Quaffle from Kiyla. It seemed as if it was almost inevitable. Ivy looked to Kiyla for sympathy, but Kiyla looked away from her. It looked as if she was upset. Ivy could see that she would be. Personally, she just tried not to get too worked up. She didn't think it would help.
Ivy made to go after Nokomis, but saw that Kiyla was already doing so. Once again she sank back into hovering around, ready to accelarate at any moment in order to react to the game.

Thought her pass had failed, she couldn't help but grinn brightly at Kiyla who had sucesseded in her interception
"Good Job!"
She called to her friend, turning her broom just in time to see a rater nasty looking bludger flying straight for her.
"Jordan!"
She yelled as loud as she could. She attempted to miss it, but that was something she was never good at. That meant she was relying very heavily on Jordan

"Yes!!! Finally!" Kiyla thought happily as she caught the quaffle but she instantly had to get over that little fact. Kiyla flew towards where Ivy was. She threw the quaffle the best that she could to Ivy.
"C' mon girl you can catch it!" Kiyla said under her breathe as she awaited the catch or, god fodbid it the miss.

Ivy smiled slightly as Kiyla intercepted the Quaffle. Their circumstances might still be dire, but at least they'd both managed to do something. She could see the relief in Kiyla's face.
She was going to need to move, away from Valerie and Nokomis (although as she glanced away down the pitch she saw Nokomis being chased down by a Bludger. Maybe she didn't need to worry there, she thought.), to get in a good position for Kiyla to pass to her.
Kiyla passed a little early, before Ivy was ready, but Ivy soon readied herself to receive the ball. Blood was rising in her cheeks under the pressure she was feeling. This was the first time she had had the Quaffle passed to her. She just hoped she didn't drop it.

Jordan took a sharp right turn and flew after the Bludger. It was going to hit NOkomis. Not if I can help it, she thought. She dodged past Valerie and Ivy to get to Nokomis. She raised the bat and struck, her eyes closed so she couldnt see if she hit it or not.

Valerie saw Nokomis' pass get intercepted by Kiyla and she followed the play. Keeping her eyes on the ball she waited for Kiyla to pass it to Ivy. When the pass came, Valerie zoomed ahead and tried to get the ball back.
