((Dam... Sorry iw as camping...))
Smiling back at Jynx, while listning to Kirssy's pep talk, Matty threw on her robes and took out her broom. Hurrying past Krissy and the other players, she muttered when passing Krissy "Thanks" before shooting into the air after Mike and Abgial. Watching as the Quaffle had already been stolen and taken back, she shot down the pitch, half way between Mike and Abgail, although on the opposite side of them. Then biting her lower lip, she watched as Mike launched to Quaffle at Abgail. Thinking for a second before staying in mid air for a few seconds, she flew upward, watching the flying Quaffle fling past her. Even if she did try to catch it, she couldn't have caught it. Dont worry... Keep your cool... This game will be different from the last.... She thought as Matty caught up to half way between Abgail and Mike.
Then turning around and looking down at the Hufflepuff locker rooms, she woundered Where on earth is Jynx? Quickley looking back around after she did so.

Abigail, who had been watching Deryn and Michael the entire time, had no trouble grabbing the quaffle out of the air, for Mike's launch was pretty powerful. Tucking it safely under her arm near her chest, the Hufflepuff leaned closer to her broom and took off for Gryffindor's hoops. The sound of the wind was the only thing she could ear, the three goals the only thing she could see. Yes, she wanted to score, but holding on to the ball for so long without paying attention to the beaters and bludgers could not lead to anything good.

Anna flew toward a bludger that was pretty close to herself and hit it as hard as she could toward Abby. Soon after and a little to late, she saw another bludger heading toward Deryn. There was no way she was going to make it in time. Either Varina would get it or Deryn would dodge. "Deryn! Watch it!" she shouted flying toward her anyway. Taking a quick glance at the bludger she just hit, it was still on it's course for Abby and getting closer to her by the second.

Deryn swore rather viciously and loudly as the Quaffle was blocked and sent off the in other direction. She turned quickly and was right after it again. Hearing Anna's yell, her head whipped around just in time to see a Bludger coming right at it. She swore again (being rather fond of this vulgar words lately) and ducked. The Bludger sailed over her head, and she continued after the Huffle chaser. She watched as he tossed it off to another chaser, but Deryn continued at the boy. Again, she rammed into him to get him out of her way.
"Move!" she snapped as she went past him and towards the other chaser.

Whistle. Fly. Block shots. End Whistle. Simple game of quidditch, that was all it was. Simple, only in theory. The boy cursed as he saw the Hufflepuff's get a commanding lead by taking the quaffle at the start. But at least the Gryffindor chasers were trying. Hufflepuff was good, he knew this, they all knew this and by all standars since they'd lost so horribly to Slyhtering they were last in qudditch strength. Beaten by a firstie seeker. that still burned him up.
"Getit...getit getit..." Corey muttered under his breath as he followed toe quaffle between the two Hufflepuffs. Alright...the second year's got it, won' last long though. Corey thought as he gazed up the pitch. Bloody game.

Krissy had seen the other bludger hit by Anna and was on it. Wasn't no way she'd let a bludger hit Abi, not only cause she had the quaffle but also cause Krissy cared about her and didn't want to see her hurt. Krissy intercepted the bludger and thwacked ( ) it towards Deryn once more. She seemed to be causing the most trouble for the chasers, and she had just rammed Mike, so Krissy had to try and get some form of revenge. "Go Abi!" Krissy yelled out to the younger girl. She was gunna keep the protection on her little one. Specially seeing as Abi seemed to not be paying attention to anything but the quaffle and the hoops.

Jynx kicked off of the ground and was soon in the air chasing after one of the bludgers that Ryder had released only moments before. As Krissy sent the other one in Deryn's direction once more Jynx caught up to the second one. Smacking it as hard as he could also in Deryn's direction. One bludger was easy enough to dodge, but lets see how she did with two coming in her direction. Jynx couldn't really see anyone else at the moment that threatened Hufflepuff's chances of scoring. Well except the keeper and he was pretty sure that it would be a penalty shot if he hit it in his direction.

Anna wasn't sure what the Hufflepuff beaters were trying to pull, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Anna had just caught up to Deryn a few seconds after she dodged the first bludger. "Nice." she told her before thinking of a way with now two bludgers. Her plan might be a bit risky, but she had to try. Flying over to meet Jynx's bludger, Anna hit it toward the second bludger. Thankfully, her aim was true and the first hit the second. Causing both to go away from Deryn and one speeding toward a huffle chaser. Thought Anna couldn't see who.

Matty let out a small sigh of relief, before pushing down on her broom, and gathering speed through the air. Comming up to Abgail's side, she said "You can do it!" she smiled quickley before backing away from her close side. She was there incase any other Gryffindor chaser's decided to grab to Quaffle off her. Watching as both Krissy and Jynx hit a bludger at a Gryffindor near Michael, she slighlty shook her head at the sight. Abgail was determine to get a goal for Huffle, hoefully she would.

Keagan had never seen a game start so quickly. It was apparent once the quaffle had switched hands a couple times that Keag was going to have to work hard to get her substitute chasers to work in a formation and actually get something accomplished. For now, it seemed, the Huffle formation was pretty tight and it was up to Corey to guard his hoops and get the quaffle back for the Gryffs. It never hurt to try and make scoring difficult for the other team, though.
However, she planned to avoid trying any extreme methods as she had last game. She had injured her wrist doing that, and though she played through the rest of the game without fault, Keag couldn't help thinking that her injury played a part in their pathetic loss. She knew Corey blamed himself for a lot of it, but it was obviously a failure on the part of the team as a whole. After all, a team is only as strong as it's weakest link, though Keag wasn't about to single anyone out as that link.
The head chaser on the Gryffindor team curved her broom sharply to the left as Abi passed her, following closely behind the second year who now held the quaffle.

Mike felt a sharp pain in his shoulder as he was rammed again by the Gryffindor chaser, she was already getting on his nerves. But for now he forgot about her as he swung his broom around and shot off down the pitch, wanting to give Abi some support up front. He saw Keagan pull out behind her and he knew what he had to do.
Mike fell in behind Keagan into her slip stream for long enough to pass her, he got in between her and Abi and just stopped.

Though Keagan didn't know how the boy had fit, somehow Mike had managed to get between her and Abi. 'Just my luck,' Keagan thought with an internal sigh in the split seconds before the collision. Somehow she managed to wheel her broom around so as to take the brunt on only her left side, but the sheer force of her momentum sent her flying several more feet after impact.
Strangely enough, Keag's thigh is what hit Mike, striking against his shoulder. Initially, all she could feel was bruising, but she knew that once she tried to walk she would feel it a whole lot more. For now, she was still astride her broom and able to continue playing, if needed. Mike on the other hand...who knew?

Dean now sat next to Xin with his hands in his lap, not touching the food of course. He glanced about as the game began, not really following what was going on, but he did see a few players he recognized, and one of them was Keag. He smiled a bit and nodded once, trying to catch on to what was happening in the game. He spotted Rolen edging his way between a small Huffle and Keag, and then stopping right in front of her. He grimaced a bit as he heard Keag hitting Mike while trying to avoid him.
" Red Card! " Dean shouted, completely oblivious to the fact that most of the people would have no clue what a red card was or what it did. That was a cheap shot, he thought.

Krissy had seen Jynx's bludger go straight at Deryn too. "Good work Jynx keep it up!" she yelled to her other beater. It was good having someone to work with. And Jynx was actually pretty good. Krissy shot after the bludger's that Anna had shot at one of the huffle chasers. Catching it and this time sending it flying at Keagan who, luckily was further away from Anna than Deryn was. Yeah it was to throw Keagan off, hopefully it would work.
"Keep going guys you can do it!" she yelled out to the chasers. Her eyes glanced around the field momentarily searching for Pat to see what he was up to and wether he had any lead on the snitch yet or not. She smiled as she spotted him, but her attention returned to the game as she shot off after Abi keeping protection on her little chaser. But she was close enough to Matty to to keep some protection on her.

Mike swore loudly as he felt his shoulder dislocate as Keagan collided with him, not such a smart move on Mike's behalf, good thing that Ivy hadn't stayed for the game. He gripped hold of his broom with his right arm, he turned and saw Krissy circling them.
"Can ya get us a time out Krissy?"
He yelled at her, as he continued to fly behind the other chasers, the pain evident on his face
