Welcome to the third Quidditch Game of the Summer Season! As you know, the game between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw was the deciding factor on which team would move on to the Quidditch Finals, which will be held approximately August 16th, 2010, if all goes as planned.
Beginning the game, Hufflepuff Beater Finn Nordling hit the bludger at Ravenclaw Chaser Sophia Monarch. Chaser Monarch attempted to veer out of the way of the oncoming bludger, but took a hard hit, dropping the quaffle. Hufflepuff Chaser Ariana Darkwood swooped in and snatched up the quaffle, gaining posession for Hufflepuff and heads toward the goal hoops!
Ravenclaw Beater Mazz Terrain hit the bludger at Hufflepuff Chaser Darkwood. Chaser Darkwood reacted seconds too late, as the bludger slammed into the arm holding the quaffle. Hufflepuff Chaser Yuka Miyuki’s quick reflexes allowed her to regain possession of the quaffle for Hufflepuff, and continues toward the goals.
Ravenclaw Beater Katie Shadowdragon whacks the bludger at Hufflepuff Chaser Yuka Miyuki. Chaser Miyuki is hit hard, straight on, by the fast coming bludger and the quaffle slips free of her grip. The snitch is released just as Hufflepuff Chaser Oliver Dean zooms in and catches the quaffle! Seekers for both teams became alert and on the lookout for the precious golden snitch!
Ravenclaw Beater Mazz Terrain, slightly irritated at Hufflepuff’s recovery of the quaffle, slammed the bludger at Hufflepuff Chaser Oliver Dean. Chaser Dean veered to the left, huge mistake on his part, as the bludger made contact with his right shoulder. The quaffle dropped from it’s place between Chaser Dean’s right elbow and side.
Ravenclaw Chaser Bellini Greco swoops in from behind and catches the quaffle, gaining possession for Ravenclaw and loops around to head toward the goals on the opposite end! At this point, Co Head Ref Darren Gallagher had to reprimand Hufflepuff Seeker Scott Tavish for making a snide remark, before the game continued.
Hufflepuff Beater Roisin Doyle hit the bludger to Ravenclaw Chaser Bellini Greco. Chaser Greco swerved to avoid the bludger, but was unable to dodge it completely as the bludger struck it’s target, hitting the quaffle completely out of her grasp. Hufflepuff Chaser Yuka Miyuki executed a perfect dive, and gained possession of the quaffle for her team, and does a double loop to head back in the direction of their goal hoops!
Ravenclaw Beater Katie Shadowdragon hit the bludger at Hufflepuff Chaser Yuka Miyuki. Chaser Miyuki easily dodges the bludger as she heads straight for the goal hoops! Chaser Miyuki passes the quaffle to Hufflepuff Chaser Ariana Darkwood, who heads directly for the goals! Seekers for both teams spot the snitch and race to catch it began.
Ravenclaw Beater Mazz Terrain slams the bludger at Hufflepuff Chaser Ariana Darkwood. Chaser Darkwood executed an excellent triple loop, to dodge the bludger, but sadly, the bludger slammed into the back of her broom, temporarily throwing her out of control. She had no choice but to release the quaffle to grip her broom, in order to regain control. Hufflepuff Chaser Oliver Dean was flying just below Chaser Darkwood, and caught the quaffle, then sped toward the goals.
Ravenclaw Beater Shadowdragon whacked the bludger at Chaser Oliver Dean, her aim slightly off, apparently in hopes of getting him as he flew forward. Chaser Dean noticed the direction the bludger was heading, and rose a little higher as he successfully dodged the object!
Chaser Dean passed the quaffle to Chaser Yuka Miyuki, to caught the quaffle and continued toward the goals. Ravenclaw Beater Mazz Terrain hit the bludger at Chaser Miyuki as she sped across the pitch! Leaning to the right, Chaser Miyuki veered away from the bludger, just as Ravenclaw Seeker Bridget Woods caught the snitch!
This win placed Ravenclaw in the Finals for the Quidditch Cup!
