July 5th dawns chilly and sunless. After a large breakfast in the Great Hall, the majority of the school trudges out the front doors of the school and makes their way sleepily to the Quidditch pitch for the match between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, while the Quidditch players from each team suit up in their changing rooms.
The stands, which have been enchanted to fit the number of ever-changing studies, are completely filled. The wind blows the large tapestry-like rolls of cloth that hang around the staircases and they billow out. Leaves blow across the Quidditch pitch and you begin to think that the cool air and light gray sky are more like Autumn than Summer, but suddenly the sun breaks through the clouds and the day turns into a Summer-like one.
The crowd gets to their feet and cheers as the 2 teams walk jubilantly onto the field. The Herbology teacher, AlexiaBell, has volunteered to referee the game and her bright red robes are the warning sign to not mess with her. The opposing teams meet in the center of the field and Hermione_Girl13 reaches her hand out to PrettyBaby24. They shake hands and when AlexiaBell gives the signal, they all get on their broomsticks and hover about a foot off the ground. Suddenly, the booming voice of the announcer/commentator (FailureByDesign) reaches every ear of the audience and the crowd silences.
"Welcome, students, to the first match of the year. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are playing each other today.
On the Hufflepuff team, we have Btvsna as the Seeker, Prettybaby24 and
TrishyKay for Beaters, Sister991, Horrorgirl03, and BookwormBabe521 as Chasers, and SqueePhrek as the Keeper.
On the Ravenclaw side, we have DarkAngel as the Seeker, Dragon and
Cadence for Beaters, Lauren, melimsah, and MidnightsShadow as Chasers, and Hermione_Girl13 as the Keeper." Desi announces.
With a blow of AlexiaBell's whistle, the match begins. The quaffle soars through the air before it's caught by melimsah, who flies right between PrettyBaby24 and TrishyKay, who are having an animated conversation.
"Lighty makes a spectacular move, dodging between the 2 Hufflepuff Beaters who.. seem to be.. arguing about the grass. Hm. I wonder what they could be arguing about? Maybe the color. It doesn't really look like it's grass-green today, it looks more like a mint color. I suppose it could be because of the sunlight, but then there's also -," Desi gets jabbed with a pen by Kay, who is "helping" Desi announce.. more like keeping her on track so she doesn't trollop off about the color of grass. "Oh. Right, yes, OH! Melimsah swerves around Sister991 and fakes a pass to MidnightsShadow, who's in front of her, but throws the Quaffle to Lauren, who speeds right past her at the exact right moment. SqueePhrek, who is anticipating where Lauren will throw the Quaffle, stays in front of the middle hoop. Lauren speeds towards the left hoop and when SqueePhrek follows her movement, she throws it through the middle hoop. Ravenclaw 10, Hufflepuf 0.
SqueePhrek throws the ball lightly to Sister991, who then waves her arm and speeds toward the Ravenclaw hoops. When she gets to the center of the field, she stops sharply, a bludger zooming by her head. She jumps suddenly, the Bludger stealing her attention away from the Quaffle, and the Quaffle drops like a rock out of her hands. Lauren dives down and catches the quaffle, inches from the ground. She pulls up and starts to fly higher. “LIGHTY! HERE!” she yells, and tosses the quaffle to Melimsah. She catches it and flies at top speed toward the Hufflepuff hoops. She tilts her broom upward and flies high into the sky, then tilts the broom toward the ground and increases her speed. As Melimsah hurtles past the hoops she throws the quaffle past SqueePhrek into the middle hoop! “RAVENCLAW SCORES!” Desi shouts excitedly. Ravenclaw 20, Hufflepuff 0.
SqueePhrek passes the ball lightly to Horrorgirl03, who waves her arm exactly like Sister991 had, and the Hufflepuff Chasers fly to the center of the pitch. Before Bludgers can start being directed toward them, they start a play. They pass the ball quickly to each other, flying in a circle as they go.
"Quaffle to Sister991, then to Horrorgirl03, then to BookwormBabe521, Horrorgirl03, Sister991, Horrorgirl03.. ohh, I don't know where it is now." Desi says in annoyance.
Suddenly, the Hufflepuff chasers stop passing the ball and start flying toward the Ravenclaw hoops, hunched over. They all look like they have the Quaffle! The look of confusion on Hermione_Girl13's face is totally understood by the crowd because no one seems to know where the Quaffle is. Rachel moves to defend the left hoop, but BookwormBabe521 raises her arm sharply and throws the Quaffle through the center hoop. "WONDERFUL play by the Hufflepuff Chasers! They confused the Keeper and managed to get a goal! Ravenclaw 20, Hufflepuff 10."
Hermione_Girl13 passes the Quaffle to Lauren, who starts flying cautiously toward the Hufflepuff hoops. She throws the Quaffle to melimsah, but melimsah wasn't looking! The Quaffle hits her lightly and starts tumbling downward. Horrorgirl03 swoops in and saves the Quaffle, followed instantly by Sister991 and BookwormBabe521. They being flying in a pattern toward the Ravenclaw hoops. Horrorgirl03 throws the ball toward a hoop but Hermione_Girl13 catches it before it goes through. She throws the Quaffle to Lauren again and Lauren begins making her way down the pitch. The Hufflepuff Chasers fly after her and begin to surround her. Two thirds of the way to the Hufflepuff hoops, Lauren is completely surrounded. "Where are the other Ravenclaw Chasers?!" Desi wonders aloud. The crowd "Ooohs" as Lauren passes the Quaffle off to MidnightsShadow before Melimsah passes her. Nikki had just flown right underneath Lauren and grabbed the Quaffle that was thrown to her. She turns and begins heading in the wrong direction. "Lighty moves sharply toward the Hufflepuff hoops and throws - The Quaffle! Nikki had a fake Quaffle! LIGHTY SCORES! Ravenclaw 30, Hufflepuff 10." Desi announces loudly.
Suddenly, the crowd gasps in unison as Miki takes off down the field. "She's seen the Snitch! She almost has it, just a little--OWCHIE! She just took a Bludger to the nose, sent her way by Kim."
A mediwizard who had just rushed onto the field is healing Miki's nose as Kim dances around them. It looks like she's trying to apologize. "THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO APOLOGIZE, KIM!" Desi shouts. "YOU ARE NOT A CHICK TODAY! GO HIT SOME PEOPLE WITH YOUR BIG NASTY BLUDGER! Ow, Kay, stop jabbing me." Desi says. Miki raises her arm as the mediwizard exits the field, and flies back up to her position about 300 feet up in the air. The match continues when AlexiaBell chucks the Quaffle back up in the air.
Uh oh.. It's double trouble as Jenn and Trish give each other a sign and move in on the two hovering bludgers. They hit them hard. "OH EM GEE!" Desi shouts, "It's a double whammy at Nikki! She's in an uncontrollable roll and dive. AHH! SOMEONE STOP HER! SHE'S GONNA - Ohh, and Kim catches her by the back of her robes at the last second! Nice save, Kim."
"DUCK, DRAGON!" Kim screams hoarsely, and Dragon does so, swirling her broom around trying to avoid a Bludger hit toward her from TrishyKay. She almost makes it but the Bludger, which seems to be going pretty damn fast, hits the tail of Dragon's broom, and Dragon goes flying downward, broom and all. A few feet from the ground she manages to get enough control over her broom to yank it up and away from the ground, only to smash seconds later into the wall beneath the stands. Another mediwizard makes his way quickly onto the field. Dragon is lying on the ground trying to stand up, and the mediwizard stops her. After a minute or so, Dragon stands up shakily. The mediwizard gives her a piece of chocolate and Dragon eats it. She gets on her broom and the match continues again.
"The Quaffle is thrown up, and Natalie takes possession of it. Nat is flying down the field! OH! Close one! Kim hit a Bludger towards Nat, but Jenn blocked it off! Nice one, Jenn!" Desi says. Sister991 zigzags back and forth across the field, trying to avoid Bludgers and Ravenclaw Chasers, but she isn't able to dodge a Bludger hit from Dragon that slams into her arm that's holding on to the Quaffle. Sister991 drops the Quaffle and MidnightsShadow grabs it as she flies in the opposite direction. Lauren catches a nice pass from MidnightsShadow but is blocked off by PrettyBaby24, TrishyKay, and BookwormBabe521. She looks around wildly, but melimsah is behind the wall of Hufflepuffs and she can't throw the Quaffle that far. Lauren looks around for MidnightsShadow but can't see her. "LAUREN!" someone shouts from behind her. She whirls around, and spots Nikki. She throws the Quaffle to her and then yells in surprise. It's not Nikki! It's Natalie! Natalie turns around and throws the Quaffle as hard as she can through the left hoop. Ravenclaw 30, Hufflepuff 20.
"Is Miki doing her nails?" Desi says animatedly after giving the current score. Miki looks up and smiles, blushing. Suddenly her eyes widen and she drops her nailfile. The Snitch! She's seen it!
Her eyes dart back and forth, following the little gold ball, and Sister991 yells, "SNITCH! GET IT, MIKI!" Miki seems to snap out of her trance and bends low over her broom. DarkAngel, who was on the other end of the field, tries to catch up to Miki who is now zooming away from her, chasing the Snitch. She goes up and down and turns sharply to the left. She stops suddenly, and DarkAngel goes hurdling past her before she realizes Miki has stopped. Miki turns around with an amazed look on her face. DarkAngel flies toward her slowly, thinking that Miki has lost sight of the Snitch, and Miki raises her arm. "OH! Miki is about to whack DarkAngel a good one!" Desi shouts. "Go Miki! Go, Go, Go Mi - OW! Kay, would you STOP poking me!? AHH! PLUMPTON PASS! MIKI HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH IN HER SLEEVE! HUFFLEPUFF WINS, 170 TO 30!"
The Hufflepuff supporters scream and stamp their feet. The players float lightly down to the grass and dismount their broomsticks. Trish and Jenn run toward each other, WOOTWOOT!ing loudly. They do a fancy chest bump, and then pick Miki up and put her on their shoulders.
