He watched of what happened, "It can happen," he said to Aston. He noticed again that he was ready and pretty much was going to go insane, but wanted to keep that much adrenoline for later. "Okay, so we got... 3 Chasers, beater, seeker, so thats all right?" he said to them, but then forgot about the other beater, "but one more Beater," ((OOC: Is Hiro playing? Or did he just post and I didn't read it)).

Krissy grinned at Alexis "Yup 7 players is all we need, we didn't even have a full team last time so were much better off now" Krissy grinned. She too grabbed herself a glass of the hot chocolate, she knew it would keep her warm for the majority of the match and so was of course going to drink some, they used it last match when it was stormy and cold and it looked after them all really well. She wondered if Mike was going to show up or if, like always he would go back on his word. Krissy scowled, if he didn't turn up he was not going to be left on the team, she couldn't have people who were not commited letting everyone else down.
"Its gunna be a touh game today guys, were versing Ravenclaw and their team is usually very strong and we need to try and win this, we won the last match against gryffindor and we can win this one too, so I want everyone to do your bets out there and if we don't windon't stress, the main thing I want y'all to do is have fun, winning isn't everything and sure though we do need to win, remember is is just a game and it wont be the end of the world if we don't" Krissy said smiling around at her team. She didn't presonally care about winning that much she just wanted everyone to get out there and have some fun on the pitch and enjoy the game.

Ana merely nodded in response, offering a quiet "Mhmm," as the rest of the girls (as she discovered the entire team at the moment was female) got themselves ready for the game. Krissy seemed to be offering them all cocoa, something that was quite tempting as Ana set the beater's bat back down on the bench in front of her locker. Walking over to the captain, she picked up thermos and poured herself a cup of cocoa, allowing the steam to rise as she closed her eyes and engulfed the aroma.
She loved the smell of cocoa, and always took a moment to let the bittersweetness wash over her before taking a sip. The girl couldn't wait a whole lot longer, though, and she quickly took a gulp of the liquid before it got too cool. "So, um, everybody ready?" she asked between swallows.

Krissy grinned as another Huffle took some of her hot chocolate, it would help them so none of them felt the cold all that much. Krissy pulled her broom out from the broom cupboard then looked around "Does everyone own their own broom?" she questioned, she should have asked before last match and have of saved Abi riding on a school's broom, she knew this time though, that Abi had gotten her own broom and so had her old broom back to lend to someone else, she didn't want Huffle's to have to ride the school's brooms as they had a habit of not working.

Anabella patted the handle of her hand-me-down with her free hand in response to Krissy's question, nodding. It wasn't the most perfect broom in the world, or the most expensive, but she didn't have to pay for it, and it worked, and that was all that mattered. Not to mention the fact that she would have hated to ride one of the school's brooms... she had been forced to use one during her first flying class and absolutely hated it. Hated as in despised. Loathed. The stupid things always seemed to have splinters and knubs in just the wrong spots, and that wasn't something she was very keen on experiencing.

"No problem, Allegra," "Raynor" said, nodding almost gravely. It was unfortunate for her that she didn't know the team like the back of her hand, or she would have gone on longer than she usually did. Back in the Slytherin games she would go on and on, her talk touching on every point.
But seeing her part done and done, she nodded reluctantly and cautiously, like a mother leaving her baby to the baby sitters. "Yeah, well... Yes. 'Luck, you guys." She shook a fist in pride, and walked out the locker room, wondering whether the sidelines or the bleachers where better for shouting more "constructive critism" for the Eagles.

After many deep breaths and short prayers, Abigail released her grip on her broom and left it on the bench. She walked, more like stumbled, over to Krissy and taking a cup, poured some hot chocolate for herself. It had worked miracles the last match and hopefully would do the same this time. Abby smiled graciously at her captain before returning to her seat and taking a sip (of course worrying it might come back up). Her feet continued to jiggle and tap against the ground as her nerves mounted into almost a slight fear. It wasn't that she feared losing; it was the fact that she had still only played in two games and squeezed in a few practices in between classes. Than again, the firstie hadn't done too bad against Gryffindor.
Staring down at the brown liquid, Abby breathed in the warm fumes and calmed slightly with its sweet smell. I'll be fine as soon as I get up in the air, she told herself.

{Last I heard, he wasn't showing, but since the game hasn't started yet, there's still a chance he might show}
"Drew's got it covered," Allegra informed the junior team members confidently. It was true that with Hiro, the two were nearly unstoppable, but she had full confidence that Drwe could keep the bludgers off of them on his own. "Okay, team. We play hard. We play clean, right?"

Tristan walked into the stands and had a Ravenclaw sign, because he wanted Ravenclaw to win. As he walked, he found Tristan at the over side of the stand. He walked over and sat down beside him.
"Brrr, pretty cold out here, eh?" he asked Jason. It was pretty cold, okay not pretty cold, FREEZING. Good thing, it wasn't as cold as it is back at Tristan's home.

Samuel had a serious look on his face, but then heard Allegra's statement, "Yeah! Go Ravenclaws!" he cried, and then ran up to the exit out of the locker room.
"Okay, I'm going to stay right here until the game starts," he said to them. After that he thought about the brooms, "Uh, I don't even have a broom," he stated.

"Ya.." Parker answered as she picked up her hot chocolate, drinking it down. She wasn't sure if she was ready, but they would be heading out soon. Setting it down she thought to herself, I wonder what it would taste like with marshmellows... She thought about it for a second, before setting the mug down and standing up and walking to a corner. There Parker stretched so she was in hearing of the group but would be unnoticed.

Krissy grabbed herself a glass of the hot chocolate feeling a warming sensation go through her right from the first sip, sure thats what most hot drinks did, but this one the warm sensation didn't go away for alot longer. Which is why Krissy brought it to the match. Krissy glanced around the room there were alot of nervous faces but the most nervous seemed to be Abi's, Krissy decided to go over and help out a little.
"Hey gurl you'll do fine" she said to abi sitting down next to her. "You player awesome last time"

Glancing around the room at all of the tense-looking Hufflepuffs, Ana let out a sigh that wasn't necessarily needed, but just as something to break the silence. She was beginning to wonder if Kayden would show up at all, since she hadn't yet. The girl was listed on the roster as just an alternate, but as Krissy mentioned one of the team hadn't arrived, there had been a chance that she would have gotten to play. If nothing else, Ana would have let herself be subbed out partway through the match for Kayden to be able to have some time on the field.
Noting that the nervous atmosphere had yet to completely clear, Ana spoke up again. "So... is the game going to be starting soon?"

Glancing once more at his watch, Ryder realized he was a minute late in starting the game. No big deal, really. He could always claim his watch was off if anyone complained. Not that a minute was anything to complain about.
Checking that the ball case was lying in the middle of the pitch ready to go, Ryder blew his whistle, calling the teams onto the pitch. He gave them his usual shpeal about playing safe and having a good time, ordered them onto their brooms and blew the whistle once more, calling the game into action.

Alexis shot of the ground and into the air. Seeing the quaffle, she grabbed it and bolted off toward the Ravenclaw end. Looking behind her for a brief moment to see if her fellow chasers were following her. There was no way she would be able to score a goal on her own, she needed the others too. Checking for any bludgers, she continued flying off toward the Ravenclaw end.
