Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor (game)

[mckellar]

"Score," William said, chuckling as taking the bottle from Drew, "Thanks man." Rubbing it all around his hair, the blue dye made it stick straight up. He frowned, trying to make his hair stay down, but it refused. He laughed again and set the bottle down so the next person could use it.
"Alright. Thanks guys, but now I'm off to my commentating box!" William said proudly, "Good luck!" With that, he was off, down the to pitch and ready to make the trek up to the box.

[dante]

Dante was no big fan of Quidditch, or sports in general, but this was the first match in which his house played since he had arrived. It didn't matter if he liked it or not, he had to see how they were like playing and cheer them whenever needed.

Though he wasn't going to exaggerate on his enthusiasm and waited for most of the crowd marching towards the pitch to go ahead of him. He wouldn't risk stumbling with someone elses foot and fall to the ground or any other kind of accident that might happen when you walked in the middle of a large group... specially if this group was conformed almost to a hundred percent of excited teenagers.

Once there, finding the small crowd supporting Ravenclaw, he placed himself along other teens. Sitting down he couldn't deny that the expectation and the overall excitement filling the air was beginning to get to him. Nervously he tapped a foot, waiting for the match to begin.

[mckellar]

Will made his way up to where he was supposed to be. The commentator box. It was his first match to commentate and he was excited. Sitting down in the box, Will pulled out his wand and put it to his throat.
"Sonorous," he muttered, "Hello!" He was testing out his new voice and it boomed throughout the stadium.
"Whoa, little louder than I expected. Anyways, hello and welcome to another Quidditch match! Today's game, Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw! I see a few Lions out there, but the Eagles seem to be preparing still. Good luck to all, and let's get this match underway!" So far so good. Will hadn't sounded like an idiot yet, which was a good thing. Sitting back, Will waited for the teams to come out and start warming up.

[melody]

Melody wasn't too great of a fan of Quidditch, the entire point of the game was a mystery to her, not to mention the danger of the bludgers and the entire brooms going whacko. Instead, she went to not only cheer on Ravenclaw, but to watch and goggle over a particular someone who was now a row ahead of her.

Melody sighed heavily as she watched the fourth year ahead of her. She could always have her 'slip' off the bench and atop of him, but what was the fun of that? Expecially once he wasn't directly ahead of her. Some other Ravenclaw had managed to slip into that seat when the enthusiastic throng went throughout the stands. Sometimes, the Raven wished she had been a bit taller and able to part the crowd a bit more easily.

[Corey Faulkland]

He heard the doors from the Gryffindor rooms open again and saw Deryn fly infront of him briefly. Warm-ups to him were pointless, he'd be fine once he was back in that little boxed corner. He was ninety-eight percent certain of it. That other two being the margin of error. There wasn't much that could ruin this game for him, except of course, him getting injured/maimed/killed. But the chances of that were...he'd need a Ravenclaw for this and none of them were there yet.

His eyes trailed over to the Ravenclaw doors and seemed to be trying to bore a hole through them. He wanted this game on already. What were they doing in there, their hair?

As soon as Rael finished in the changing rooms, she walked out onto the pitch, broom in hand. She watched for a moment as Deryn did warm-ups, it was good to see she was all right and willing to play, considering what happened last game. The new commentator started to talk, but Rael did not listen to anything he said. Instead she walked over next to Corey and stood next to him.

Her eyes traveled around the pitch and she realized there were no Ravenclaws in sight. However, there were only three Gryffindor's on the pitch, so it was not a major thing. "You ready for this?" she questioned the keeper.

[Corey Faulkland]

The sixth year's arrival made him feel alittle more at ease as the Gryffindor team one by one was slowly coming out of the lockers. "Ready as I'll ever be, just get me back int hat box and I'll be alright." He paused, a small smile coming to his face. "What about you, are you ready?" He questioned raising an eyebrow slightly.

Rael had been one of a meager few he'd seen manage to seem to keep their composure int he common room the day of the murder, whether she had been putting on a facade however, was unknow to him. But he respected her for that, and for the fact that she was simply a year older. Perhaps alittle stupid, but, lots of things were. Stupid, that is.

[ryderh]

Ryder tipped his head back and grinned up at his new announcer. The kid knew his stuff and could possible help Ryder get things going a bit faster. The sound from the announcer's box travelled much better than a whistle and even those in the locker rooms could hear that the game would soon start.

Shifting again on his feet, the man double checked the trunk by his side. It twitched and bounced on the ground, a sure sign that the bludgers were just as eager as anyone to get out and play.

[Allegra Thornton]

{sheesh... give me a second...}

Allegra answered Kellen with a small nod and backed off. She knew that she had to get her head in the game as well and fast or she'd be a basket case for the match.

"Okay, Eagles! This is OUR game, you hear me? Gryffindor is a tough team to beat and they're going in with a lot to prove! We're going to play hard and play clean! Lions roar but Eagles SOAR! Let's go OUt there and kick some butt and BRING HOME THE CUP!" Allegra cried out as she heard William's announcement.

[princessofthieves]

A smile spread over her lips at Corey's reply. The raising of the eyebrow and the stressing of the you was almost as though he already knew her answer. "No, I am afraid not, mate," she said as she turned her head away from him. It was too hard to not smile when she said it.

Quickly she turned her head back to the boy and grinned. "Of course I am ready," she said with a small laugh. The grin was one of the few that had not been forced since the murder. "I think we are going to put up a good fight against Ravenclaw. And hopefully this game will be without injuries," she added after remembering the game against Slytherin.

[Drew Thornton]

"GO TEAM BLUE!" Drew yelled, adding his sister's favorite cheer onto the tail end of her little speech. Figuring that was the sign that they should get going, he made his way to the pitch. The Gryffindors were already out there, but he still took some time to take a couple of warm-up laps around the stadium.

[Kellen McCrea]

Kellen was about to head out when the paint his teammates had been applying caught his eye, sitting there as the others had finished with it. He sighed and headed over to it, resentfully painting a couple of stripes on his cheeks. After all, how would it look for the team to go out there and the Keeper, looking normal, would be the one standing out?

The excess he had on his fingers, he rubbed into his hair. It didn't cover him, certainly, but it gave enough of a tint to be noticed. Without a word, he grabbed his wand and headed out onto the pitch.

[Corey Faulkland]

Whether it would go without injuries was not up to their deciding. But, then again this was a match involving a pair of teams who played pretty fair. The chances of actual problems were slim. "Glad to know you're ready, I hope the others are as well. Just...try and keep those bludgers off me if they get to close." He said with a small grin.
He knew there were only two of them, but he was also last on the priority list as far as a protection screen.

"Just hope we can grab the snitch this time." He claimed with a small frown. The loss to Slytherin was, well, blah. It was bothersome, nerve racking

[princessofthieves]

"I hope they are too," she replied. "And I will try my best to keep the pesky things away from you." This game was likely to be better as she would most likely not have to fly around Deryn this time to ward off the bludgers. There would be a lot more free time to move around and chase the rambunctious balls. She agreed with Corey about the snitch, hopefully Deryn would have a fair chance at getting it this time around. Last time she just was not fit to chase it around.

The Ravenclaw doors finally opened and the blue team started to come out. Yes, blue was definitely the right word. Clothed in blue robes, like normal, but their hair and faces were blue as well.

"Well, this will be interesting," she muttered to Corey as she tore her eyes from the other team. A smile spread across her face as she looked at him.

[Hiro McVeil]

After Hiro had gotten his uniform on he was going around the locker room making sure all the players had their bells on to prevent him sending a bludger their way. He continued his task even when ambushed by Allegra with facepaint and hair dye. Now that he was out on the pitch he knew what had to be done and was ready for a great game.
