R - 000 | H 000

Wood is first with the quaffle and, surprise surprise, Vane is right on his tail. Looks like Hufflepuff is out to prove that last game wasn't a fluke. Luca swoops in for a steal, but Wood dodges him. Vane cuts Luca off, probably getting a little jealous. Wood heads for the goal, and Godfrey seems to be off in la la land, because Wood makes the score. Ten to Hufflepuff!

R - 000 | H 010

Ravenclaw doesn't seem to be taking the early score lightly, and they come back swinging, literally. Lockhart lobs a bludger at Vane, who it just barely misses. Careful Lockhart, you're gonna piss off Wood and Colton. Wouldn't want to take on that double team, though I'm sure Vane would. What? Sorry Professor. Anyway. Debussy has the Quaffle and is heading for Warren to make a score. Luca and Bones aren't far behind, ready for a pass, but Debussy seems to be stubbornly determined to make a goal herself. She lobs the quaffle at the goals, but Warren blocks. Luca catches it before Wood can and goes for another attempt. Warren is just too short. Ten to Ravenclaw.

R - 010 | H 010

Vane is the one to get the quaffle first this time, and she, shocker, passes to Wood and heads upfield. It looks like they're trying to pull some fancy move. The Ravenclaw chasers seem to notice as well, because Bones heads to cut Vane off. Colton is ready for him, though, and the pass goes uninterrupted. Put some ice on it, Bones. Vane fakes left, passes to Wood who can't go five minutes without his girlfriend and apparently appeared out of thin air, who lobs it through the goal. Ten to Hufflepuff.

R - 010 | H 020

Hufflepuff isn't playing around this time. Temples immediately gets the quaffle and goes for a score. Godfrey manages to block, but Wood snatches it out of Debussy's grasp before she can get anywhere. A rogue bludger from Greene causes Wood to lose his grasp, but of course Vane is there to cover his slack. She passes to Temples, who passes back to Wood just as she gets knocked off course by a bludger, and Wood passes to Vane when she gets in scoring range. Godfrey looks ready for her, but he falls for a quick fake to the right and she scores left. Ten to Hufflepuff.

R - 010 | H 030

Ravenclaw isn't playing around anymore it seems. Bones has the quaffle and he's determined to score it seems. Luca and Debussy are lagging behind a bit, probably thinking about what they're gonna do at the after party, but Bones is on the warpath anyway, and doesn't seem to be paying any attention. Woah, Bones scored that one quick. Was Warren fixing her lipstick or something? Ten to Ravenclaw.

R - 020 | H 030

Harvey and Boot seem to be flying circles around each other. No sign of the snitch, but they're making me dizzy. The Badgers have the quaffle again, and they seem to be playing hot potato. Wood, to Vane, to Wood, to Temples. It'd be great if someone could hold the ball longer than five seconds. I'm getting tired just watching them. Wood passes to Vane again, and she goes for the score. Godfrey blocks, but Temples is there to catch it and score anyway. Ten to Hufflepuff.

R - 020 | H 040

Hufflepuff seems to be determined to go undefeated. They're going hard this game. Vane has the quaffle. She's heading upfield. She shoots, she... ooh, look at that. Good block from Godfrey. Luca comes in for the steal, and heads back toward their goal, ducking a bludger from Colton. Warren is ready to block, hovering between two goals. Luca sh-- or not, quick pass to Bones, who makes the score. Ten to Ravenclaw.

R - 030 | H 040

Well, our seekers are still playing ring around the rosie. We'll check back in on them later. Meanwhile, Debussy is heading for a score. A bludger from Malfoy knocks her off course, and she loses grip of the quaffle, but Bones is there to cover. He was probably staring at her arse, to be honest. He passes to Luca, who is in scoring range, and a quick fake catches Warren off guard so he can score. Ten to Ravenclaw.

R - 040 | H 040

Hufflepuff is playing hot potato again. They really seem to like their passes. Wood to Temples to Vane to Temples again to Vane again to Wood again. Is the quaffle hot or something? Hold on to it for more than five seconds, guys. Wood makes one more pass to Vane, of course, who fakes a shot at the goal, but shock surprise, she passes to Temples, who manages the score. Ten to Hufflepuff.

R - 040 | H 050

The seekers actually seem to be doing something now. Harvey is heading upfield toward the Hufflepuff goals, Boot is on her tail. Meanwhile the Hufflepuff chasers are playing hot potato yet again. That's getting old, guys. Try a new technique. A bludger from Greene sends Harvey off course and Boot pulls ahead. He's going into a dive, Harvey isn't far behind. Whats this? Oh, Boot pulls out at the last minute. The Hufflepuff chasers go for another score and its good. Ten to Hufflepuff, but whats this? Boot has something in his hand? Yep, that's the snitch. It's over folks. One fifty to Ravenclaw.

H - 000 | G 000

Gryffindor seems to be doing well out of the gate, trying to make up for the last game, it seems. McLaggen has the Quaffle and looks to be heading for an early score. Warren looks ready for him, but a last minute pass to Weasley seems to catch her off guard, and in that split second, Weasley manages to score. Ten points for Gryffindor!

H - 000 | G 010

Wood has the Quaffle, and he's headed upfield with Vane on his tail. I guess she chases him on and off the field. Looks like Cannon has a bludger with Wood's name on it, but there's Colton to hit it back. Don't mess with Wood and his boyfriend, Jay. Wood passes to Temples who just seemed to show up out of nowhere, who in turn passes to Vane who lobs it at the goal. Keating makes a good effort to block but comes up just short. Hufflepuff scores!

H - 010 | G 010

Quaffle is back out and it looks like McConnell's making a go of it. She heads upfield, barely making it past a bludger sent her way by Malfoy. She quickly passes to McLaggen who barely catches it before passing to Weasley, who is in position to score. Warren looks violent up there, ready to block it. Weasley fakes left and Warren falls for it, leaving Weasley free to pass to McConnell to make the shot. Gryffindor scores!

H - 010 | G 020

Wood has the Quaffle now, and is headed toward Keating. McLaggen and McConnell are on his tail, but he doesn't seem bothered by it. Boot sends a bludger his way, and with Malfoy and Colton too far away, it manages to knock him off course. He makes a saving throw to Vane, who looks to be good for the catch, but what's this? Out of nowhere McConnell sneaks in and steals it, heading back upfield. Boot knocks a bludger out of her path and it looks like she's ready for the score. She shoots, and it's good! Gryffindor scores!

H - 010 | G 030

Harvey and Griffin are circling around. Looks like the seekers are at a loss. I think they may be spending too much time eying each other and not enough time looking for the flying golden ball. Hufflepuff seems to be trying to make up for some lost time here, and Wood, Vane, and Temples are playing a game of hot potato. Wood to Vane, back to Wood who passes to Temples this time. Temples manages to dodge a bludger from Cannon and passes to Vane, who is right by the goals. She tricks Keating into guarding the left, and manages a clean score through the middle. Hufflepuff scores!

H - 020 | G 030

Gryffindor has the Quaffle again, McLaggen in the lead, and he looks to be going for a quick score. He makes a pass to McConnell, who catches it just as a bludger from Colton makes contact with her broom, causing her to almost lose her grip. She makes a pass back to McLaggen, who lobs it at the goal. It looks like Warren is gonna block it, and she does, but McConnell catches it and makes another attempt, and this time it's good! Gryffindor scores!

H - 020 | G 040

From the look on our seekers faces, it seems that they're still in the dark. Meanwhile, Wood doesn't look to be playing around anymore. He's got the Quaffle and is headed towards the goal, Vane and Temples are flanking him, ready for a pass, but Wood appears to be determined to score this one. Keating looks ready for him, but Wood fakes a pass to Temples and goes right at the last second, getting past him. Hufflepuff scores!

H - 030 | G 040

Weasley has the Quaffle and is headed upfield, McLaggen not far behind. McConnell is waiting upfield, ready for a pass, and Weasley delivers. McConnell is headed for the goal, ducking a bludger. Cannon manages to hit the bludger back the way it came as McConnell passes back to Weasley, who tosses it for the goal. Warren looks to be ready for the block, but nope, she just misses. Gryffindor scores!

H - 030 | G 050

Looks like Harvey spotted something. She's making her way midfield. Griffin is on her tail. She has her arm outstretched, and it looks like Hufflepuff might end this game. But oh, bludger from Boot catches Harvey off guard. She dives to just miss it and loses sight of the snitch. Vane is headed for the Gryffindor goals, her path seems to be clear. She passes to Temples, who seems to be in prime scoring position. She looks to be going for the center. Keating takes the bait and she passes to Wood, who goes left. Hufflepuff scores!

H - 040 | G 050

McConnell has the Quaffle, and she makes her way upfield. She makes a pass to McLaggen, but Wood comes out of nowhere and snatches it mid-pass. He makes a quick turn and heads back the other way, making a quick pass to Vane, who makes another to Temples. Lots of passing going on. Temples to Vane. Vane to Wood. Wood looks determined to make the score. He darts left, Keating follows, he goes right, then quickly heads left again when Keating follows again, lobbing the Quaffle. And it's good! Hufflepuff scores!

H - 050 | G 050

Looks like Harvey and Griffin have spotted something again. They're both heading upfield toward the Gryffindor goal posts, and Harvey is pulling ahead. Griffin's probably appreciating the view. They're neck and neck now folks, but Harvey is just a little faster and looks to have a grasp on something. Could it be? It is! Harvey's caught the snitch!

S - 000 | R - 000

Chaser Nina Tillitt is first to get the quaffle, snatching it right from under Arlen Luca's nose. As she makes her way to the goal, Bones and Debussy are on her tail. Edgecomb hits a bludger toward Bones, missing by inches. It looks like Debussy is going to catch up to Tillitt, just a few more inches, but no, Tillitt lobs the Quaffle right past Godfrey; is he too busy thinking about what he'll be doing to Debussy's sister tonight? Perhaps Tillitt is getting a bit jealous? In a rush of angry sexual tension, she throws the quaffle at him- nope, it's the goal! And Slytherin gets the first points of the game!

S - 010 | R - 000

Luca has the Quaffle now, and is making his way down the field. Weasley isn't far behind, speeding to catch up. Bones and Debussy are on either side of Weasley, trying to block her out to give Luca the clean score, but Weasley is pulling ahead of them. Luca feigns left, throwing Weasley off before quickly moving right. Lovemander is ready to block, but last second, Luca goes left again. Ravenclaw scores!

S - 010 | R - 010

Debussy has the Quaffle now, and looks ready to make another quick score for Ravenclaw. She shoots, and Lovemander blocks. Quaffle up for grabs, and it looks like Finnigan has it. Finnigan heads for the goals, quickly ducking out of the way of a bludger sent his way by Lockhart. Bones and Luca are on his tail, and Godfrey looks ready to defend. Probably not the only thing these two are fighting for. Finnigan fakes left, Godfrey follows, and Finnigan quickly moves right to score. Godfrey's head is in the clouds once again, and Slytherin scores!

S - 020 | R - 010

Potter and Boot are both circling the field. No sign of the snitch yet, although Boot looks like he's checking out all the ladies in the crowds. Might want to watch out, Laurie Hauser, I'm talking about you. Luca has the Quaffle again, and quickly passes to Debussy as hes overtaken by Tillitt and Weasley. Debussy appears to have everything under control, she's almost there. She can control a quaffle better than she can control her own boyfriend. Ouch, no one expected that bludger from Warren, Debussy goes flying. Might need some ice. Quaffle is in the air and it looks like Tillitt has it, as she swoops in gracefully. She makes a quick turn around and heads back up the field, Bones is on her tail, but he's getting edged out by Finnigan. Finnigan's probably getting jealous of Bones' view. Tillitt approaches the goal, she shoots, she scores! Slytherin scores!

S - 030 | R - 010

Bones has the Quaffle and is heading upfield. Field is clear and he's making great progress. A quick one he is, but we'll have to double check with Debussy on that one. A bludger comes out of nowhere, but there's Greene, knocking it right back. Bones is in the home stretch, Lovemander looks ready for him, but a quick move from Bones sends him in the wrong direction, and Bones makes the goal. Ravenclaw scores!

S - 030 | R - 020

Boot and Potter seem to have spotted something. Perhaps it's a dandelion, but with Potter's brain it might be another hot girl. Both are headed toward the Ravenclaw goal posts, hopefully finding something that might end this game. Meanwhile, Bones has the Quaffle. He passes it to Debussy, who passes it to Luca, who passes it back to Bones. It's like a game of hot potato, except with sexual tension involved. A bludger comes from the left for Luca, but he manages to avoid it to catch a pass from Bones. All three are at the goal, Luca fakes a toss, Lovemander goes to block, and doesn't see Debussy catch the pass and score. Ravenclaw scores!

S - 030 | R - 030

Potter and Boot are still looking. Seems they lost sight of the snitch, was that merely a glare or some rude offhand comment made by me? Debussy sneaks in and steals the Quaffle from Finnigan, passing immediately to Luca, who makes a quick break for the goal. Bones looks left out in the dust, but obviously a bit determined to win his girlfriend's heart back. A bludger from Edgecombe narrowly misses, and Greene sends it back toward her. Luca moves out of the way of Weasley and makes a long throw. It's good, looks like he has a strong arm after all! Ravenclaw scores!

S - 030 | R - 040

Weasley with the Quaffle, and she's heading upfield quickly. Lockhart knocks a bludger her way and she makes a saving throw to Finnigan just in time before the bludger knocks her off course. Finnigan keeps going upfield, but what's this? Potter and Boot are both moving very quickly toward midfield. It seems that they've once again spotted the snitch. Potter seems to be pulling ahead, and his arm goes out, just inches away, but what's this? A quick bludger from Greene knocks him off course and Boot is in the clear. Closer, closer. It looks like his hand has closed around something. Could it be? Yes, Boot has the snitch! Looks like the Eagles win this one today, tying the two teams for a one win-one loss ratio!

S - 000 | G - 000

Upton immediately takes the quaffle as Gryffindor hovers in the air- looks like Gryffindor's off their game. I think Cannon is still noticably upset about their captain's disappearance. It would make sense- he sort of lost the position to his very own girlfriend. [Cannon shoots a glare over at the announcer's tent as he hits a bludger away from McConnell] Oh was that too soon? Terribly sorry. Upton has started towards Gryffindor's side- she passes to Thomas-Finnigan... and Gryffindor is back as McLaggen grabs the quaffle in the air! He starts bringing it back through the centre, narrowly missing a bludger on the way, and passes it to Weasley-Granger. She maneuvers between the Slytherin beaters, getting closer to the goal... She's almost there, and she passes to McConnell, who doubles back from the left side of the field towards the centre. Lovemander is definitely ready; he won't take his eyes off the quaffle even to take a peek at Griffin's arse as he circles above. The Slytherin Chasers are all there to help Lovemander intercept it. McConnell flies back and forth a bit, waiting for a way in. Weasley-Granger is sneaking in behind the chasers, McConnell throws to her, and she turns around and scores!

S - 000 | G - 010

Wow, what a good play by Gryffindor! Is Lovemander maybe a bit off his game too? He's good friends with Potter, and this doesn't seem like the kind of playing that would come from him. Nevertheless, Ito-Weasley dives down to get the quaffle first and brings it back up to be even with the other players, quickly passing it back to Upton. She brings it across the far side of the pitch with Warren following behind her to beat away a bludger. Upton passes to Thomas-Finnigan, giving him a second chance in the game. Weasley-Granger is close behind him though, ready to over take him and grab the quaffle. He passes back to Upton, who passes to Ito-Weasley. She has McConnell following her but a bludger flies a bit too close and the Gryffindor Chaser is forced to fall back from her guard. Thomas-Finnigan flies down the centre of the pitch, with no one around him anymore. Gryffindor, you can't just leave a player completely unguarded like that! Didn't you learn from my team's mistakes last week? Ito-Weasley passes to Thomas-Finnigan when her tail has caught up to her, and he scores!

S - 010 | G - 010

It's still very early in the game, but it's nice to see such an even score; it shows how nail-biting this whole game will be! The Seekers, Griffin and Potter, spot something by Gryffindor's side of the pitch and they both take off after it for a moment before it's once again lost behind a bleacher. That was almost a very short game folks. Lucky we have Weasley-Granger taking the quaffle down the pitch again, ready to get her second goal of the game, perhaps Gryffindor can really pull through. Looks like Ito-Weasley and Thomas-Finnigan are already on it though, getting her from both sides, getting straight to the point and cornering her. Upton, small and light, shoots up from underneath Wealsey-Granger, startling the quaffle out of her hands, grabbing it- now she's on a roll, literally corkscrewing into the sky, much like how she screws a few others- barrelling down the field, dodging Spinnet-Bell's bludger, rolling out of the way, Keating looks like he's asleep at the wheel and Slytherin scores!

S - 020 | G - 010

Keating does not look happy with himself, or his team. He calls a time out here pretty quickly, and it doesn't look good, folks- he's heading straight for Coach Spinnet- does he understand that's one of his teammate's mothers? Sorry folks, I can't see or hear much, but Keating looks redfaced and ever so pissed off- and it looks like Coach Spinnet is having her hand in this whole endeavor. Just because you're headboy doesn't make you invincible folks, and I'm afraid it's gone to his head. He's pointing to Upton now, as if she did something wrong- [Conrad's yelling is so loud now if the crowd was a bit quieter they could have heard it, on the field he's so angry he's shaking.] Oh, it looks like he's pointing fingers at Coach Spinnet now. This does not look good. Perhaps he's on edge from the girl he has heart eyes for disappearing. We had to have seen it coming though- Potter clearly has been working her way out of people's lives for weeks now. Keating storms off the pitch and most of his teammates are standing around looking at each other in confusion. I wonder- Cannon looks like he's yelling after Keating, most likely a few expletives. The Slytherin team now is more interested, huddling around. Lovemander doesn't look too happy, and Coach Spinnet blows the whistle, calling all the players down- Merlin's beard is this a fiasco. She's talking to everyone and-[Millie stops talking as Professor Voronkov whispers in her ear] Oh, I've just been told that Gryffindor is forfeiting the game. The teams are exiting the field, what a short game. Congratulations to Slytherin!
