Verina smiled slightly as one of her fellow teammates spoke to her. Closing her eyes she took in a deep breath. She couldn't believe this was going to be her first game in a long time and at a new school. Suddenly all her nerves caved in on her so she breathed in deeply. She'd been lucky to have been chosen to play Beater she'd played the position before and had grown rather fond of it.
Opening her eyes her confidence returned and as she stepped out into the pitch, broom in hand. She knew that they were going to win. They just had to win this game. She was going to do everything in her power to make sure that the other teams Beater didn't get a hit on any of her fellow teammates.
Mounting her broom she shot up into the air. Their team was going to do okay..... no wait they were going to do better than okay they were going to do great. Her eyes shone with an air of determination and self resolve. She was ready for the game to begin.

((Hahahah thats like so Mighty Ducks style right there Nessa))
Mike cracked his neck from side to side, he was ready.....but was the rest of the team, it didn't seem that way due to the lack of players they had in the locker room, hopefully they were already outside.
He picked up his broom and looked at Nessa as she talked,
"You sure ya alright to play?"
He asked her, with a side glance to Krissy and Pat wanting one of them to step in and take over so he could get on the pitch

Jogging down to the Quidditch Pitch, Matty smiled out the sky. She remembered the last time that she had come down there. Once walking down a small hill down to the pitch, she wondered if she was going to be playing today. When walking into the Hufflepuff locker rooms, she spoted Krissy, Pat, Abigail, Nessa, Mike and Jynx. Smiling and walking over to a seat that was near her locker, she sat down. Looking over to Krissy lifted her head to let her know that she was there if they needed her.
Then looking over to Jynx she mouthed a small 'Hey' before turning around to Mike and Ivy waving at them, just incase they didn't know she was now in the room. Matty really hoped that she would be playing today, after all she wasn't quite happy with her last performance in their previous game. This time she was sure to prove what she was made of. Then she looked down at the Quiddicht robes, she was ready.

((LOL I didn't even know. I've seen that movie like, once. Totally by accident lol))
Vanessa glanced sideways at Mike and smiled. Maybe she wasn't 100%, but she would be fine to play. Hufflepuff really needed this win and she wanted to help them get it, no matter what. "Yeah," she replied, "Yeah, I'll be fine." With that, she gave Mike a couple taps on the cheek with her hand. It wasn't hard, but just enough to make him stop bugging her about being OK to play.
"C'mon let's go!" she urged her team. Lack of enthusiasm was definitely bringing them down. They all needed to pep up, and fast.

Ash looked up, finding Dean standing over her. She smiled at him, she always felt so short next to guys that were in the second year or older. She clapped her hands together at the sight of food. " Aih! Really? Thank you!" she said taking a bacon with her mittens. " I'm with the Huffles on this game-- but I'm rooting for Tuesday," she said beaming. Ash had been happier lately, figuring that moping wouldn't help her situation nore anyone elses. Besides, she had gotten pretty sick of herself, being all sad and mad all the time. Even though she had to put up a face sometimes it was worth it. Dean laughed as Ash managed to grab some bacon with her mittoned hands. " No problem.... Hufflepuff, huh? I think I might have to root for Gryffindor on this one. " He said with a sly grin. Shaking his head slightly, Dean went on, " So, how've you been? " He situated himself in his seet so that he was able to set a few food items on his lap in napkins. He was rather picky about food sometimes. Dean scanned the field and didn't see either teams on yet, so he turned back to Ash, waiting as he examined a piece of sausage. Finding it sufficient, he took a bite.

"Aye aye, cap'ain!" Abigail grinned with a mock salute towards Vanessa and than another at the real captain, Krissy. She grabbed her broom and gripped it tightly as she did before every game and than walked towards the locker room entrance. Her eyes were flashing and quite alive, and her grin was beginning to hurt her cheeks. Abby looked over her shoulder at the rest of the pack. "We should fly out in some sort of formation or something," she suggested. She had always wanted to do something like that, like the professionals.
(I really wanted to say, "Flying V Formation!" xD)

Anna followed the rest of the Gryffindor team out onto the pitch carrying her beater bat and broom resting on her shoulder. She was ready to play and her nerves turned strait to excitment. Right after Varina took off, Anna mounted her broom and took off straight to the air. She flew around the stadium before actually catching up with the gryffie chasers. There was no way a bludger was going to hit her teammates. Anna felt even more confident as she caught up with the team.

Mike laughed slightly at Abi's remark...it would be fun to do it and it would look professional, not forgetting that it would intimidate the Gryffindors.
"Hell Yeah....like a V or something?"
He asked her

Ryder glanced around at the players circled around him. It was clear he did not want to be here, but as he would rather get the game over with instead of move it to another weekend, he decided to keep going. He didn't even bother giving any sort of talk, but kicked the box open and let the balls fly before blowing the whistle and setting off on his broom. He only hoped the game would get over with as soon as possible. Then he could get back to moping in his quarters.

((Ok we shall say that we were already on the pitch))
Mike saw Ryder kick the box open and then blow his whistle, Mike shot forward and grabbed the quaffle, tucking it under his arm and flying back towards the Hufflepuff goals....he had a plan and seen as though the Gryffindor Chasers would come after him that would leave him an easy feed to one of his teams other chasers down field.

Deryn saw the Quidditch balls being released and the Hufflepuff chaser scooped it up. But she was a girl on a mission, and she was determined to get that ball. Making a mad dart towards him, Deryn rammed into the boy's side, swiping the Quaffle right out of his hands. She turned quickly and sped off in the other direction, leaving the boy behind her.
Deryn headed straight for the net, not even looking around or looking back. She was determined to do something productive in a Quidditch game for a change, and this was the perfect way to start. As she approached the goal, Deryn headed straight for the right hoop, and then make a quick move to the left and shot it over there.
((If that's too God-moddy, lemme know and I'll change it, but I just couldn't resist. Sorry Mike XD))

Pat listened in silence to Krissy's pep talk, taking in what she was saying, although a fair portion of it was directed at Mike. Hailey's sudden appearance at the door to the lockers only a minute or two after threw him a bit; the staff member seemed to be on a short fuse today.
When Abby and Mike voiced the idea of flying out in formation, Pat spoke up. "No offense, guys, but lets save it for another time," he said. "I think Hailey'll bite our heads off if we don't get out there now."
Glancing once again around the room, Talia's absense was notable. Students came and left before, but that didn't change the fact that they were down a regular player, and a good one at that. Pat's gaze went over to Jynx, who had shown up in case they needed him. "Hey, Jynx, up to playin' Beater?" he asked. "Grab a bat, dude, 'cause it looks like we'll need ya." True, it was Krissy's position as Captain to finalize this sort of decision, but Pat was stated what would be obvious; someone would have to step in and fill the vacant Beater position.
Once they were all out on the field, and Hailey set loose the balls, Pat took off, his eyes only managng to follow the Snitch for a second before it disappeared. Pat was determined this time to make sure he caught the Snitch; a loss at this point would mean that Huffle was out of the running, and he wouldn't just let that happen. He still wasn't sure who was the Gryffie Seeker, but he knew who it wasn't: Anna and Verina weren't as they were carrying their Beaters' bats, and the girl who had taken the Quaffle from Mike, obviously a Chaser. Pat knew he'd figure out who it was soon enough, keeping his eyes on both rhe game and on the lookout for the Snitch.

Jynx listened as Krissy gave the team a little pep talk and also as the disgruntled Ryder came storming in to tell them the game was about to start. He didn't know what to make of the refs attitude and wondered what had happened to put him in such a raunchy mood.
Glancing over towards the door as Matty came in he smiled back at her and returned her hello. He couldn't wait for the game to start and was even more excited when Pat told him to grab a bat and player beater. "You bet," Jynx said hurrying and throwing on his quidditch gear and robes. He grabbed his beaters bat and broom and was ready to head out with the rest of the team. He had played beater before and actually quite enjoyed the position.

Krissy heard the whistle of Ryder and headed onto the pitch pronto. He did not look like a happy chappy today. She glanced back her team following. Before he blew his whistle Krissy managed to say. "Yea Pats right. Jynx your beater. Matty, chaser" She had noted the two absences, Alexis and Talia. They needed their alternates today.
As the balls were released Krissy kicked up off of the ground sending herself flying. She reached a bludger in no time. Her first shot was right at Deryn who seemed to have somehow gotten the bludger out of Mike's hands.. But either way, that bludger would stop her. Krissy shot off towards the next bludger. She was ready for a tough game.

Mike swore loadly as he had been taken completely by suprise by the quickness of the assault by the Gryffindor chaser, but he was quickly on her tail shadowing her every movement.
And then he saw his chance, as she cocked her arm back he accelerated quickly and put his arms up for a block, he felt the quaffle hit them and roll down, he quickly grabbed the Quaffle and shot off with it. His eyes glanced around the pitch and he saw Abi....half way down the pitch unmarked....he cocked his arm and launched the quaffle towards her, his aim was straight and true and would no doubt find its target.
"YO ABI HEADS UP GIRL!!"
He yelled as it got closer
