She looked around, confused for a moment. It missed, merlin's beared it missed her. Wow. It took her a moment to gain her focus back. After all, the last time a bludger went flying at her, she ended up on the ground.
She looked around quickly, suddenly remembering that she needed to focus on the quaffle. She saw that Ivy had it now, and that Ivy was heading towards the goals...thought it seemed that the bludger was heading that same way.
She leaned forward on her broom and took off. She wasn't sure what she could do at this point...but somehow, she needed to get that quaffle!

Kiyla smiled as Ivy caught the quaffle then flew near by not too close to Ivy towards the goal posts. Kiyla turned to see Nokomis narrowly miss the bludger and Kiyla sighed a sigh of relief but then she realized it was going towards Ivy.
"Ivy! Watch your back!!!" Kiyla yelled as loud as she could to Ivy. She saw Nokomis coming up as well and hoped that the bludger wouldn't hurt her as well.

Jordan cursed herself and flew after the bludger once more. It was after Ivy this time, and she wasnt about to miss this one. Jordan flew under Ivy and came up behind her, dodged thebludegr hitting herself and then raised her bat to strike the bludger. She gritted her teeth and growled under her breath. She swung....

Jordan smiled to herself as she flet the wooden bat strike the leather ball. And it was off again.
"Your welcome!" She said to Ivy before she flew off to block the bludger once more. It was after Kiyla this time, and there was no way Jordan was going to let this one get away. If she did major insanity leak in her mind. The bludger swerved under a broom took a right and then headed towards Kiyla. Gaining speed Jordan flew under the flying ball and gripped the bat with both hands, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and struck once more....

Kiyla flew as fast and steady as she could towards the goal posts. She turned around to see where everyone else was at when she saw a bludge coming towards her and Jordon coming her way to hit it.
"Ahh!" Kiyla said as she did a quick dive trying to get away from the bludger and Jordon hoping she was safe.

Ivy felt a surge of relief as she manged to catch the Quaffle despite Valerie's attempt to intercept it. 'That's about ... two things you've done right now?' she told herself, trying to encourage herself, as she now had to try to score. And this time the Bludger wasn't going after Kim.
In fact, where was the Bludger? Ivy moved towards the hoops, looking around bemusedly. Suddenly she saw a black speck, heading right for her.
'Oh no,' she thought with dread, trying to accelarate away from it but knowing full well her Nimbus 2001 would be unlikely to be able to match its speed. 'Where's Jordan?' she wondered.
In fact Jordan was behind her, blocking the Bludger. 'Just as well for me', Ivy thought grimly. Before she could say thanks, Jordan was off again, trying to protect Kiyla from the Bludger. 'So I guess I'm on my own', Ivy thought.
She accelarated down towards the goalposts, glancing at Nokomis who looked to be matching her every move in order to intercept the ball. She slowed at a reasonable distance from the goalposts, and released the Quaffle, trying to get it around Nokomis. It was covering distance quite quickly. Ivy just hoped it was quickly enough.

(( Ivy it's ok, if you are trying to score then only Kim can stop you now, chasers can't block shots.
Ivy tries to score
Ivy's scoring is +1, Kim's goaltending is +2
Ivy 5+1=6, Kim 3+2=5
Ivy scores!
Ivy / Kiyla 10
Valerie / Nokomis 10
Valerie or Nokomis can take the quaffle ))

Ivy felt a surge of happiness as she scored a goal. 'I've scored! I've scored!' she thought excitedly to herself. To the others it probably didn't seem like such a big deal, but to her, it was the first Quidditch goal she'd ever scored and a chance to prove herself to herself. She was certainly her greatest critic.
Ivy flashed a belated smile at Kiyla before refocussing on the game.

Valerie watched as Ivy scored a goal as the sun was starting to droop on the horizon. She then flew over and took the quaffle in her hands and then dove down towards the ground. Landing softly she set her broom down and waited for the rest of the team to join her. Once they had all joined her she set the quaffle down on the ground. "That's some good chaser playing girls" she said to the new chasers, "keep it up and we'll do alright this season. Our first match is against Ravenclaw and they've got really good chasers so you will have a good test right away. I think we should call it a day for now, well at least I am. If you girls want to you can stay out and practice a bit longer, just make sure you put the trunk back into our locker room." Valerie then picked up her broom and kicked the quaffle over to Nokomis then turned and slowly began walking back to the locker rooms, things looked quite good for the first practice and she had high hopes for this season.

Ivy landed beside Valerie, feeling exhilarated from the practice. She looked at the sun sinking beneath the lake, like a sinking ship on fire. She hadn't realised the practice had gone on so long. It hadn't felt like it.
Valerie informed them that the first match was against Ravenclaw. That didn't sound all that great - Ravenclaw was a very strong side. Ivy crumpled her brow but then thought - 'oh well, might as well try.'
Valerie gave the Quaffle to Nokomis. Ivy wasn't sure whether they should carry on playing or not. Now she'd stopped moving, it was getting quite chilly out here. Her hands were turning cold. As she watched Valerie walk into the locker rooms, she looked at her friends to see what they thought about carrying on, keeping her facial features neutral.

((I'm just going to assume that the Bludger missed me.... or that Jordan hit it... because you didn't say))
Kiyla smiled at Ivy as she scored. She saw Valerie grab the quaffle and land so Kiyla followed suit and landed next to Ivy. Valerie told them that it was it for the day and Valerie headed out to the locker room.
"I'm kind of cold." Kiyla said as she looked at her hands which were freezing.
"Do you want to stay out?" Kiyla asked the others.

Ivy looked at Kiyla, whose hands looked practically frozen. She knew that soon, as the cold weather set in, she would start to have problems with them getting chapped again. Oh well. Not everything about Quidditch was good, she thought.
Kiyla asked whether they should stay out. Ivy waited, but when no one else answered, decided she would have to make up her mind or at least say something.
"Well, it is getting kinda chilly," she said. "Maybe we should call it a day, cos I mean I still have essays to do and stuff. What do you think?" she enquired, looking round at the others.

Jordan stopped flying and sighed as she hovered next to Ivy. She looked at her friend's hands and noticed they were red. She noted to get her some gloves to keep them warm during the winter.
"I think we should turn in too, I have Potions to do." Jordan said with a groan as she watched the bludger back into the box.

Ivy looked gratefully at her friend for backing up her suggestion.
"Allright then, see you guys," she said, and, turning her back, trudged back towards the changing rooms wearily. She hadn't realised quite how tiring Quidditch was up till now. She'd have to look after herself during the Quidditch season.
