(7/18)Quidditch Match: Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw

Everything was moving too fast for Alex, and her head was pounding. She felt dizzy in the air, and she could feel herself swaying from side to side on her broom. She looked around for the quaffle, and when she couldn't find it, chased after Mason instead.

Timothy smiled as the match got underway and all the students in the stands forgot themselves. Totally focused on cheering the players on the pitch, they payed no attention to the clear signals their bodies were sending. It was interesting to watch large crowds of people react as one to an event, the collective gasp if a bludger knocked a player from their broom, or large sections of fans either jumping up in their seats or hanging their shoulders based on the score... Then there were the amorous couples, snogging in the middle of the stands as if no-one could see them. And as a general rule, no-one did see them, everyone too focused on the game.

The Ravenclaw Keeper began to sway back and fourth, preparing himself to block a shot from whichever direction it came from. He had faith in his team to take the ball before the time came, but he still wanted to be prepared.

Ravenclaw still at Line 1

Claudia swayed on her broom keeping her eyes ready for any quick movement of a bludger moving towards her team mates. She was determined to win and she knew that they had a pretty good chance.

Still on Line 3

Alyssa blinked her eyes and turned back to the quidditch match after being momentarily distracted.

(Sry for the long wait, trying to get on.)

Her eyes followed the quaffle as it was passed back and forth, making its way closer and closer to their goal posts.  Uh oh.  SHe hoped their Keeper would prevent it, and then disinterested, scanned the field for the Golden Snitch.  Hmm.  Well, it seemed like it was over there, then over there, then- oh dear.  Alyssa threw her hands up in frusturation with the tiny winged ball darting in and out around everyone and almost fell off her broom.  She'd forgotten that she was on one of these broom things.  Maybe if she just...Alyssa squinted at the other players and detected a slight glimmering around the Gryffindor Keeper's left anke.  Ah ha! Gotcha, she thought, and zoomed towards it, ready to snatch it out of the air.

Emma's eyes darted all around the pitch, trying to locate the precious snitch before the other team Seeker. The beginning of the match was always the slowest, as the snitch did typically enjoy hiding around the start of things. As she looked around the pitch, she readjusted herself on the broom, before noticing a Ravenclaw on their end of the field. Emma scanned ahead of the Ravenclaw, but she couldn't see anything. Still, Emma wouldn't forfeit the match just cause her eyes had fooled her. In a spurt, her broom was off, pursuing the Ravenclaw Seeker.

Timothy watched the crowd, a few people spotted the seekers moving and pointed, nudging their friends. Like ripples in a pond, the pointing fingers spread outward as people followed the invisible line to one of the more exciting parts of the game. The fingers followed the seekers as one and Timothy had to suppress a laugh.

Mason, quaffle still held tightly under his arm, was thoroughly enjoying the wind rushing past him. There was no other feeling like this, nothing compared. If he hadn't had a job to do he would have kept flying straight ahead never to stop. He would forget about the game, forget about school, and live life as a bird soaring through the air.

That was not today, though. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and refocus. He was nearing the Ravenclaw Keeper, coming in at him from a slight angle. This was close enough, Mason deemed. Taking the quaffle into his hands he pitched it forward, aiming for the large hoops ahead of him.

Mason moves to line 1 (Ravenclaw side) and shoots (can I do both of those in the same post? If not I'll save it for the next post)

(Yes you can!)

The Ravenclaw keeper diver for the ball and...

(I'll edit this post once the dice is rolled, after this post)

missed. He was completely thrown off, thinking that Mason had been aiming for the 10 slot, and having dived in that direction, completely missed it as the quaffle entered the 30 point slot. He was pissed, muttering under his breath that Masons slipped.

Taking the Quaffle, the Ravenclaw keeper threw it back into the game in the direction of the Ravenclaw chaser, Alexandra.

The snitch flew left, then right, before turning around and going into the stands, fighting through all of the people and staying low.
