RAVENCLAW VS. HUFFLEPUFF (7/6/11-8/6/11)

[HECTOR ALLEN WULFE]

Hector helped Claire back on her broom and shot back up into the air, watching for who had the quaffle next. He fist pumped when he saw that Ravenclaw was back into the game with the quaffle. He grinned when he saw Mikah intercept the pass. Flying quickly towards her, he waved his arm at her, signaling he was open for a pass. He did notice that some kid named Dunstable was hitting a bludger towards their head girl. But luckily for her, Jaycen was already on it, trying to hit the bludger back.

He sped up as he saw Lyra going to intercept Mikah's throw. Oh no you don't! he thought, his eyes shifting to watch her, his own hands outstretched. He bumped her a little, trying to shake her off his trail and get to the quaffle first. Excitement filled his body as he realized he had a huge chance of getting the quaffle. He kept his arms reached out, because Mikah's pass was so close to him that he could almost feel it, he could feel the tension rise as him and Lyra raced towards the quaffle. Jaycen! Hit the bludger this way!" he yelled, hoping that the bludger would be sent hurtling this way. He would then dodge it, and hopefully it would hit Lyra. No offense to her, since he had nothing against her, but he wanted his team to win!

[LUCY SARAH WEASLEY]

hate to stare....

27% of the Hogwart's quidditch teams this year were filled with Weasley and Potter relations. The random statistic was one that some might expect to float through the mind of a student on the opposing Gryffindor team rather than the bubbly young Hufflepuff seeker as she rose into the air, but the simple percentage actually helped calm her as she repeated it over and over as the ground drew further and further away. That meant that 27% of the players on various teams, the ones that the school cheered for each month, were her relatives. She had the same blood running through her veins. She had the same Weasley instincts, and the same support base at home. She could do this just as well as James, or Albus. Yeah, she'd crush that blonde haired bimbo under her shoe on the pitch today.

At the same time that the thought passed through her mind, Lucy's hand rose to her mouth in shock. Stupid peps talks in the dressing room... the usual things that riled a team up before a performance messed with her thinking pattern. Raychel wasn't a bimbo at all. She was beautiful, smart, and clearly well mannered if she were the head girl. She didn't deserve o be called any sort of name, even if it had only been within the safety of Lucy's own hyped up mind. Regardless, she was still going to get crushed like a bug.

She shook the thoughts away again, high in the air as action unfolded beneath her, in particular spotting the drama with a bludger and the opposing seeker. If that had worked out, Lucy's job would have been a whole lot easier... but it always potentially put a target on her back. She could only hope that if the Ravenclaw beaters decided to retaliate against the attack on their seeker, one of her own beaters would come to her rescue. But she shouldn't focus on that right now. The game was well underway, and it was time to start doing her job. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail to keep it from blocking her vision, but the wind still lifted it as she coasted through the skies, keeping her eyes open for any little flash of gold she might find.

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

The fifth year hufflepuff had been told he was to play in hufflepuffs first game of the year and he was ready, he was more than ready. He wondered what happened to the actual keeper, but even as an alternate keeper he wanted to make him team proud. His cousin was on the team as well which boosted his moral.

Mounting his broom, he took a deep breath just before he pushed off from the ground, flying straight to the hufflepuff goals where he circled them once before positioning himself in front of the center goal.

Not much was happening at either end of the goals. Passes and interceptions were made back and forth between the teams. He saw the bludger hit Claire and another fly towards the ravenclaw seeker. The hufflepuff beaters were on fire at the moment.

Smiling he saw Ravenclaw finally make a successful pass to each other. Finally he'd be able to get in the game. Unfortunately he couldn't use his veela charm on Hector but on the other two chasers he could. Of course Hector just happened to have the quaffle, damn he thought.

Flexing his fingers, loosening his muscles, he kept his eyes firmly on Hector and the quaffle. He relied on the beaters to hit any blisters away from him before they had chance to him. His family was watching, he had to make them proud somehow.

[HECTOR ALLEN WULFE]

Hector grinned as he was able to catch the quaffle before Lyra could get to him. He stopped his broom in his tracks, hoping that she would fly past him. Turning in the other direction, he tucked the quaffle safely underneath his arm and shot off towards Hufflepuff's goal posts. He ducked a few bludgers and noticed that Raychel had been alerted of a bludger coming her way, but sadly Jaycen hadn't been able to stop it.

He ducked a few players outstretched hands, those who were attempting to get the quaffle from him. A few hundred yards away from the goal posts, Hector flew in a few circles, contemplating for a milisecond. He could throw the quaffle, and try to score for his team, or he could throw the quaffle to someone else and see if they could score. But that would mean someone might intercept it. Of course, someone could intercept his throw to the goal posts too.

Taking a look at the keeper, he noticed it was a new kid. Probably someone who hadn't played in an actual game before. As bad as it made him feel, Hector knew that he could score and that it would probably be due to the nervous feeling the kid probably had in his stomach right now. He knew that he was nervous his first game! So he made up his mind. Spinning a few times, he launched the quaffle at the goal posts, seeing that not many people were around, hoping that his shot would make it and get his team points.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

she felt hector bump her and she narrowed her eyes, holding fast on her broom and going to bump him slightly right back. if he wanted to play dirty then fine; lyra was not all 'flowers and butterflies'.. she could be fiesty when she wanted to be and damn straight .. hufflepuff were winning this game one way or another! she frowned as the quaffle flew past her fingertips, and hector sped off, lyra herself trying to encourage her broom after him, hanging back slightly so that if he was going to pull moves and stunts to get her off his tail, she'd notice them before hand.

"oh no you are not getting away that easy, wulfe." she muttered as he tried stopping to make her zoom past. she went a little past him but the broom was good, and it wasn't a second before she was after him again. she hung back slightly, watching him shift positions so she could see where he was aiming, then as the quaffle left his hands she leant forward on the broom low, urging it forward fast and trying to speed forward and grab the quaffle before it could get to the goal posts.

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

He was nervous, there was no doubt about that and he honestly didn’t care if it showed on his face. Gulping, he watched as the blur of blue grew closer and closer and then, was that Lyra behind. A few moments later his guess was correct. So Lyra was going to help him. As much as he appreciated the help, he wanted to do this all by himself. He was determined to stop the quaffle, no matter what. Turning his attention back to Hector and the quaffle, he watched carefully as to where the Ravenclaw would throw it.

It seemed like eternity before he was the maroon ball leave the chaser's hands and sailed through the air towards him and the goals. He caught a flash of yellow from the corner of his eyes, ah so Lyra was intent on helping. Well good luck to her he thought, watching as she reached out to...miss the quaffle. Well now that wasn’t like Lyra. Well it was up to him now, he thought as he flew sideways, reaching out his hands, he felt his fingers brush the quaffle and before he knew it, he was holding the maroon ball. Wait what. He looked down at he, a smile slowly appearing on his face. Ha he had caught it. Tossing it up and down he glanced at Hector, his smile never leaving his face. Served the guy right for underestimating a Weasley.

Louis looked around, Lyra was close by after having attempted to intercept the shot for goal. The others looked as if they were a bit further up the pitch.
"Hey Lyra, catch," he raised his arm and threw the quaffle towards her.

[/i][/size][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

as the quaffle said past her once more lyra cursed for the third time that match. what was with her today?! she was usually better than this. sighing and frowning, lyra turned to watch the ball sail toward louis. "come on louis. " she muttered in encouragement, putting her faith in him to save the ball. well there was a reason he was back-up keeper, he was a decent player.

as he saved it, lyra allowed herself a small grin. yes. she thought, shifting on her broom, she stopped hovering and shifted left and right, changing her glance from louis, to the pitch itself, wondering if the seekers had caught sight of the snitch yet, or if any bludgers were being sent this way. "Hey Lyra, catch," she heard louis and she snapped her head round to look at him, concentrating soley on the ball as it flew her way, reaching out her hands to try and catch it before anyone else could try.

she tucked it tight under her arm and took off across the pitch, glancing about for a fellow chaser to pass it to. catching kassy not far off, she tried to catch her eye. "kassy!" she shouted above the rushing of the wind, and made to chuck the ball across the space toward her...

[QUEEN KASSY ?!]

Kassy flew around the pitch mad at her pass getting intercepted. This wasn’t going the way she wanted and if this continued who knows how this match would end up. She watched the game while still keeping an eye on the quaffle from the center of the pitch. For a Chaser who was supposed to be traveling with the quaffle she wasn’t doing her job just floating there. Good thing her team was good enough without her unless it came to intercepting the quaffle without her they had a bit harder time. She flew off to the goal posts and followed the quaffle again. She found that the Ravenclaws were trying to score, but she wasn’t fast enough to stop them.

The keeper did a great job though he saved it! Kassy knew Louis was a good keeper she held a lot of trust in his capabilities as a keeper and he didn’t disappoint her. She looked at Louis and smiled at him before flying off before Lyra did. She was almost at the center of the pitch again when Lyra came zooming towards her. She stared at Lyra with determination and she knew that Lyra would be passing the quaffle to her. The ball zoomed into the air and just her luck Kassy caught it without any Ravenclaws intercepting it! Kassy smiled a big grin as she zoomed off to the Ravenclaw goal posts. She gave a strong glare at the keeper before throwing the red ball towards the center hoop attempting to make a score.

Kassy is attempting to score!

[SEIZEL AURA CAPPER]

Seizel was going to let hell freeze over before they scored, and he knew he had the advantage, however, he hoped this was just a one time thing as he hovered in the air preparing for anyone attempting to score. Flying around the many goal posts to keep his edge, and then noticed that the play was finally over now the Hufflepuff team was on his side of the field. It was slightly amusing to him that even his own team could be bested by a lowly team such as Hufflepuff, not that he wanted to have anybody score. It was slightly amusing watching this all play out as he was just hovering over the center goal post, anticipating the chaser's moves, holding his arms out in mock display of preparing to catch it.

Even as the Hufflepuff chaser went to throw it, he was hoping at least two of his other chases would attempt to intercept before anyone could actually score. That was the thing about these games, it seemed many other people were just focusing on one person, but in reality they should be focusing on the entire game. Seizel shook his head and it was now up to him to discourage this chaser, and teach her some respect while she glared at him. Wanting to just hex her off her broom, he would have lost the match or have been disqualified, then the replacement keeper would have to be put in. Amusing as that seemed to him, he needed to stay up in the air and then attempted to whack the ball away with the back end of his broom, although he decided catching it would be better.

Just holding his hands out praying that he'd catch it before it went in.

Notes: Seizel is attempting to defend the goal.

[HECTOR ALLEN WULFE]

Hector saw passes get made and Hufflepuff was in possession of the quaffle. He moaned, rolled his head, and shot down after Kassy, who had the ball. He dodged a bludger that was near his head, and spun in the air to reverse directions and continue chasing Kassy. Putting on the speed, he watched her throwing the ball towards Ravenclaws goal posts. Panic flooded him, and he saw Seizel soar up to defend them.

As soon as the quaffle left her hands, Hector shot past her and and had his hand stretched out, aiming to intercept the bludger and hoping to help Seizel by at least catching it so there was less chance of the quaffle missing Seizel's block. He was willing to do anything to prevent that ball from getting past him and his team mate. He scrunched his face up in concentration, then stuck out his tongue playfully at Kassy as he zipped by her. Laughing, he tried to lighten up the situation. But it was too serious of a time to be joking around. So leaning forward, Hec put on some speed and stretched up to try and grab the quaffle.

(Hector is trying to intercept Kassy's throw.)

[LUCIAN ILLIUM JAXON]

He wanted to laugh as he saw the bludger he had sent Claire's way hit her, and oh it looked like a hard hit too. He chuckled instead, proud of the hit he had made. Turning his broom, he sought out the other bludger. What he did see was Dunstable going for one before whacking it at the Ravenclaw's seeker. Well his results weren’t as good as Lucian's as a Ravenclaw beater attempted to defend their seeker. But the damn head girl saw the bludger and avoided it. Well then, their seeker would be hard to hit, especially if their beaters were protecting her. Well that meant every other Ravenclaw was fair game.

A blur of yellow passed him a moment before a blur of blue. He turned to see Kassy attempting to shoot a goal. He didn’t bother staying there to watch, instead his eyes sought out another bludger. Angling his broom slightly, he chased after the ball, already knowing who his next target would be. Dunstable could keep trying to get their seeker out, but without a keeper, Hufflepuff could score so much easier, not that he really cared, he just wanted to hit the bludgers and cause as much pain as he could, and well if he had anything to say about it, his intended target was going down.

[HECTOR ALLEN WULFE]

Hector shouted with glee when he felt the quaffle once again come into his grasp. He had caught it each time so far, and he was feeling pretty good about himself. He held it firmly against his chest, one hand holding onto the broom and one on the quaffle. Smiling, he shot off towards the other goal posts, passing Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws alike. He honestly didn't want to trust anyone else to score a goal. He had tried to pass it to teammates, and things hadn't worked out. People kept intercepting it! He had also tried to score on the new and nervous keeper, but it was blocked.

But now he had a burning to score. Hector threw the ball up in the air a bit, then spun and hit it towards their keeper, flying with speed. If it could have been any faster, Hector could have sworn it was on fire. He could hear his house in the stands, shouting "GO GO RAVENCLAW!", and he hoped with all his heart that he could score. It would put his house ahead, and give them a better chance of winning. But really it would be up to the seeker. If he could just get some points under their belt, then maybe they would have a better chance of winning. He watched it spiral towards the keeper, hoping and praying it would go in. He couldn't help himself, he was just hovering in air, watching it go towards Louis.

[LYRA KARA THORNTON]

as lyra watched kasy catch the ball she grinned slightly. yes finally - hufflepuff where getting somewhere! they really needed to get a goal in, or someone to get the snitch for them already! this game had not gone to plan in the slightest, even with the ravenclaw beaters aparently MIA at current. she hung back slightly as kassy made an attempt to score, frowning as hector shot out of nowhere to take posession. damn that guy! what was with him, he was everywhere today!

shaking her head, lyra clutched her broom tightly and sent it off along the pitch after him, trying to draw up alongside so that she could shoot infront of him if he made an attempt to pass or score. she urged her broom faster, feeling it struggle a little - she needed a new model sadly, no matter how much she adored this one - and managed to keep up with the ravenclaw chaser. there did seem to be an awful lot of back and forth on the pitch today..but lyra put that out of mind as she saw hector throw the ball, lyra shooting out infront, hands trying to grasp for the firm quaffle..

( lyra kara thornton is attempting to intercept the throw! )

[LOUIS ALEXANDER WEASLEY]

Just that one attempt of successfully blocking the quaffle had made his confidence soar; even the cheering from the crowd was helping. He felt on top of the world and even better was that Kassy had successfully caught Lyra's pass. It was Hufflepuffs chance to score. He was excited, he didn’t have any pressure on him at the moment, it had all shifted to the Ravenclaw keeper. Come on he thought, watching the quaffle leave his teammate's hands only to be snatched by Hector in mid air. Damn it he thought as he gripped his broom tighter as he watched the blue blur fly closer towards him and the goals he was guarding.

He wasn’t going to let his team down. He had caught the quaffle before and he can damn well do it again. He watched the quaffle as it was wacked by the end of Hector's broom, judging which goal it was heading to. A moment later a blur of yellow appear and he couldn’t help but smile. Lyra was all over the Ravenclaw chasers today and he was thankful that she was attempting to help him again. He eased his grip from his broom, reaching out hoping to snatch the quaffle out of the air.

[LUCIAN ILLIUM JAXON]

The werewolf glanced over at Seizel and smirked rather evilly at him, but then he noticed that Kassy hadn’t scored and Hector had gotten the quaffle. Maybe he should get the Halfling out instead. His eyes sought out Hector, if he got him out, then Hufflepuff would have it easier to pass the quaffle to and from each other. Ah which one to choose, he thought, his eyes darting between both. It was a hard decision, if only he could get both of them with the same bludger, but that was impossible to do so as they were at other ends of the pitch.

He finally decided, he’d stick to the original plan, it was Kassy that was letting the team down, she needed to throw harder. Circling the bludger he was chasing, he raised his bat, hoping that Seizel didn’t see it, or hoping he was too distracted to notice as he swung the bat forward, whacking the ball harder than he had with Claire, just hoping, wishing that he could knock the damn Ravenclaw keeper off his broom. He'd be hitting two birds with stone, Seizel was the keeper and the Ravenclaw captain, without a captain he was sure the team would fall apart. The werewolf's dark eyes watched as the bludger raced towards Seizel. Any moment now and it'll hit him, he thought, the smirk still on his face.
