Corey nodded and moved out from the posts toward the incoming seeker, chaser...whatever position the bloke was playing. It was about that time the chap went into a dive that looked as though it was going to end, well, bloody.
"He ain' gonna make it..." He muttered. Not hat he cared, it would only be an asset. But, the Hufflepuff team was desperate enough because they were slightly shorthanded.
And then the lucky fool, yes, fool, pulled out of it. He had heard of the move before but couldn't recall the name, nor had he actually seen it attempted. And he had to do something before Beni hit earth. But he couldn't leave the hoops unguarded.
"Oi, Beni, pull out of it!" He called across the field in an attempt to be heard.

Krissy gritted her teeth. "Erg Mike..." she muttered watching him pull of his stunt. It was a dangerous move for both Mike and Beni and she didn't want either of them to get hurt and she knew Mike would get out of it but she couldn't be as sure about Beni and she didn't want anyone hurt due to Mikes pride and confidence. But still though the spectacle was going on she still zoomed towards the next bludger getting ready to hit it at someone othrer than Beni so that it wasn't getting hit at her team.
"Beni pull out!" she yelled accross the field as she flew. She didn't care if Beni was Gryffindor or not she didn't wanna see her get hurt and she would have to have a word to Mike about the move later.

Anna saw Krissy hit the bludger toward Benita. "There is no way that I can make it over there in time to save her." she thought. Seeing Dan close to her, she shouted across the field, "Dan! Watch Out!!!" Then before she knew it, she saw the Hufflepuff seeker pull out of his dive and head off toward the other dirction. Seeing no other choice, she speed off toward his dirction with her bat ready. She saw a bludger pass by a little while away and went toward it. Since it was closer to him, she hit it and it speed off like a bullet in his dirction. "That shouldn't take long at all to hit him." she thought.

The ball got through the hoops and Roxy sighed, it was a good move. But this didn't stop her for long. She caught the ball from behind the posts and threw it to Abi who flew up the field in a flash. Roxy watched as Abi passes it to Dias and he passed it back. But then something else caught her attention as Mike began to dive towards the gorund she staired in horror as it looked like he wouldn't be able to pull out of the dive. But he did, though she wasn't too sure about the Gryffindor seeker. She didn't look like she was wonderful on her broom as it was anyway. She gritted her teeth and watched in horror.

Beni was just about to triumph the supposedly smart move, when she realized that there wasn't a snitch to be found. What the hell? She thought alarmingly as she kept on following Mike's tail.
But wait... that wasn't his tail anymore. No, what she saw face to face was the green, uninviting grass. It wasn't fond of players trampling its leaves, yet it seemed to give off a patronizing, amused look. It was then that she knew how much pain she would feel.
And so as Beni tried heeding the warnings of pulling out, she only lessened the degree of pain that she would experience soon enough. She as she tried to pull out, the bludger took a clean smack at her back, making the last of her landing a bit more forceful.
She hit the ground with a soft thump, and was well off of her broom. And so the other spectators were right-- Beni wasn't fast enough to avoid the tricky move.
The grass wasn't welcoming still, but she was welcoming to it, as she curled into a fetal position, letting the shooting pain shoot out. She wasn't ready to get up just yet. The ground was hostile, but it would be her hospital.

Dias cringed as he watched the gryffindor go to the ground. He was lucky it hadn't been him on the ground. He looked around for the quaffle, but seemed like most of them were focused on the one who had crashed to the ground. He was amazed he had even managed to come out here. Pulling his nerves together he started to move along with the other chasers.
I wonder if Lum is out in the crowd... he sighed, knowing that most likely she wasn't. It didn't matter, he had a game to play.

He cringed when he rather clearly saw the girl wasn't going to make it, and cringed more when he saw the Hufflepuff chasers, well, two of them, speeding toward him with the quaffle bouncing between them. And therefore as much as he wanted to help his downed comrade, he couldn't leave the hoops undefended.
"Keagan! Make sure she's alrigh' aye?" He shouted as he turned his full attention back toward the chasers and backed himself toward the Lion's posts once more.
(Oye, chaps we can't have a bunch of blocks goin' back and forth, someone has to score! Neither of our teams are bloody perfect!)

Following Britt's directions and lowering her person ten feet, Keag took a moment to raise a cheer for Britt's successful shot. "Great shot, girlie!" she exclaimed, pumping a fist before noticing that she had just avoided a speeding bludger. That thought rattled her a bit, but she knew she should follow the orders of her captain and sped off down the field in the direction the action would soon be focused - the Gryffindor posts.
The pair of Badger chasers were just ahead of the Lion's trio, passing the quaffle between them. Her attention focused on the ball moving, Keag was lucky to avoid the bludgers that once again came whizzing toward them, obviously aimed at Brittany, but not all true to their goal. It seemed the pair of them were coming at an impossible rate. However, when Corey shouted out about Beni, Keagan saw the poor girl lying on the ground and glanced toward her fellow chasers. "You girls keep on these Huffles, at least until the ref calls, huh?" she instructed, feeling a bit out of her element but knowing Britt was a stronger asset to keep in the air for the time being. "I'll check on her."
With that, she pulled out of her course and took off toward the ground in a dive similar to the one which had brought Benita into her current predicament. However, she pulled out of the sharpness of it a whole lot sooner before sinking to the ground beside her fallen comrade. She frowned when she saw the curled position her mate had pulled into and knelt beside her, leaving her broom a few feet away. "Hey, Beni, are you okay?" she muttered, afraid to touch her for fear of causing further injury. Of course, she knew that Beni wouldn't be okay, but it was merely a question to assess how far from "okay" she was.

"I'll get the trash out in a sec, mum..." mumbled Beni as she lain flat on her back now. The intial pain was gone, and she was feeling the better of it come from it. The crash was harsh, but she had enough padding to secure at least consciousness.
Eventually, her eyes opened as the raindrops poked her, stirred her to returned to their home in the air. "This hurts like a b***, Keag," Beni admitted bluntly.

(Sorry everyone..had a bit of a problem with the computer)
Cameron stood on the sidelines watching the game. She put her hair up into a pony tail, because her hair was getting annoying. "Come on..."Cameron muttered. She kind of bounced on the balls of her feet.

Mike turned around and looked up higher at Dias
"SCORE NOW!!"
He yelled at the top of his lungs, they needed points and the lose of the Gryffindor seeker had their team distracted. They needed to go on the offense. Mike shot back up to playing height and continued to search for the snitch. He had pulled off a completely legal move, but still felt bad about it. But the game had to go on, he would visit her later, if she didn't get up.

Anna became a little distracted when she saw Benita crash into the ground. She would have flown over to her if the game wasn't still going on. She had to protect her team from the bludgers. She started following her team and tried to find a close bludger to aim at them.

(Back. Thanks guys for writing me in; though you played me a lot better than I would've ) Using a school broom for she didn't have her own (for first years weren't supposed to have brooms on school premises anyway), Abigail did her best to just stay in the air without falling off. Yeah, she was having difficulty. The weak water-repellant charm she had attempted before she headed to the pitch had worn off, and her hands continued to slip up and down the broom handle. Unfortunately, her nerves had blocked the thought of having an older student put a stronger charm on her broom. Luckily, the hat beanie thing she had on kept the hair out of her face and her head dry. Her robes and pads, along with Krissy's hot chocolate, had kept her body warm and somewhat dry. Her face was the only part of her body stinging with coldness and wetness. The broom. A whole nother subject. As everyone knew, school brooms weren't the best in the world. Though Abby had chosen the best-looking one of the bunch in the closet, it still didn't compare to the multiple Nimbuses in the game. Slow, bumpy riding, random pulls up and down and left and right, along with the sliding caused for a hard ride. Not that she knew anything better to compare it with though. So, as Abigail "flew"...more like stumbled in the air...up and down the pitch, the Huffle tried her best to keep her eye on the quaffle. She was moving with Dias down the pitch, though when he passed the quaffle back to her she slipped and the red ball dropped passed her and plummeted to the ground. Desperately clinging to the broom handle, Abby let go of heavy breathing along with a muffled sigh into the rain. This absolutely sucked. Looking down at the ball, she tried to turn the tip of the broom handle downwards to retrieve the lost ball; however, the broom had a mind of its own. It wanted to go left off towards Brittany, and so Abigail moved left. Obviously, she wasn't controlling the broom. It was controlling her.

" Ouch. " Dan muttered to himself as he heard and saw Beni crahs to the ground. He felt a surge of anger towards the Hufflepuff Seeker but brushed it off as he saw a bludger make its way on over to where he was. Swinging hard, Dan sent it whizzing past the Gryffindors into a Hufflepuff's direction. Dan couldn't make out the name on the back of the jersey.

Anna, still flying close to the chasers, waiting for a bludger to come her way to hit. She saw Dan, a small distance away, hit a bludger toward the Hufflepuff chasers. At the same time she was keeping an eye on Hufflepuff Beater and of course on her teammates.
