| | Gobstones Preliminary Match: Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor On a bright december day Leobald tugged his coat closer, pulled a cap on his head and gloves on his hands as he made the walk down to the Gobstones arena. Shivering slightly in the brisk air he pulled out two bags of stones from his tote. One bag filled with blue stones, the other, red. He knew he was on time to start the second match and he only hoped that some members from each house would show up soon even if the weather was getting colder. There was even a promise of snow in the air.
Upon seeing a few, he nodded respectively at both houses, handing them each their respective colored stones before continuing with the customary beforehand speech. "You've read the rules. Any horseplay or cheating or anything poor misendeavors will not be tolerated. Good luck." OCC: The match will be run by by both Nordic Witch & PhoenixRising simultaneously as we will take turns holding the rounds of the game. |

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! First out to take charge of their respective house stones were little Indiana Hutchinson and prefect Gideon Gert. The stones were cast almost simultaneously by the players but it was the blue stone that had a clear aim and speed towards the Jack stone in the center. The red stone looked to be heading for the Jack but suddenly it rolled outwards and stopped. Round 1 Score:
Question 1: Ravenclaw
Question 2:
Question 3: Match Score: Gryffindor - 0 Ravenclaw - 0 Round 1, Question 2

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! For the second question Gryffindor tagged in Sarah Edwards where Ravenclaw let Indiana Hutchinson continue with the stones. This time when the stones were cast the two stones rolled in a steady pace towards the Jack in the middle. When the dust lifted it was only by a small margin that Gryffindor's red stone was closer to the Jack than Ravenclaw's blue one. Round 1 Score:
Question 1: Ravenclaw
Question 2: Gryffindor
Question 3: Match Score: Gryffindor - 0 Ravenclaw - 0 Round 1, Question 3
Subject: Transfiguration
Level: Medium What are 'conjuring spells'? Please provide 2 examples of such spells.

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Gryffindor switched players once more and Prefect Gideon returned to match up against another prefect but from Ravenclaw, Louisa Carter. The two prefects cast their stones with precision and speed. It looked like the blue stone was going to reach the Jack first but when it came close the stone started to rotate outwards and ended up rolling back to the beginning, which gave the red stone a clear field towards the jack. Slowing the red stone came to a halt right next to the Jack stone in the center. Round 1 Score:
Question 1: Ravenclaw
Question 2: Gryffindor
Question 3: Gryffindor Match Score: Gryffindor - 1 Ravenclaw - 0

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Indiana Hutchinson still held a firm grip on the bag of blue stones and didn't look like she was going to allow any other Ravenclaw a shot at casting the stones. On the Gryffindor side though Sarah Edwards took ahold of the red stones. The two girls cast their stones simulataneously but it was the blue stone that stopped closest to the Jack in the end. Round 2 Score:
Question 1: Ravenclaw
Question 2:
Question 3: Match Score: Gryffindor - 1 Ravenclaw - 0 Round 2, Question 2
Subject: Historical events
Level: Difficult Which former Hogwarts headmaster was nearly bald and feeble in appearance, and has a portrait hanging in the headmasters office?

| Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede! Sarah Edwards and Indiana Hutchinson matched up for the next question as they cast their colored stones once more in conjunction. This time the stones rolled neck and neck towards the jack stone. Mr Kitridge feared a draw but after careful measuring of the stones placing from the jack it turned out that the Ravenclaw stone was closer to the Jack and won the round. Round 2 Score:
Question 1: Ravenclaw
Question 2: Ravenclaw Match Score: Gryffindor - 1 Ravenclaw - 1 Occ: The next round will be hosted by Professor Hadley (PhoenixRising)

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers Josephina had simply been watching the match, observing as she let Leo do all the instructing and coaching. He wasn't actually half bad at this and she had to admit the idea of working closely with someone during the matches actually worked quite well.
When Leo nodded to her to supervise for a bit, Fina smiled back and rose from her spot, approaching the edge of the playing area. "You know what to do. Roll your stones," she said, giving a knowing look at the two houses. Round 3 Score:

| YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers The sixth year Ravenclaw Prefect, Louisa Carter, cast her stone first. Which was interesting considering that before this match, Fina couldn't remember her partaking in the game before. Perhaps she wanted to try something new? Shrugging it off, she watched her blue stone roll across the court ... several paces ahead of the red stone rolled by another sixth year Prefect, Gideon Gert. The two stones rolled .... and eventually slowed.... and stopped... the red falling just shy of the blue.
Ravenclaw takes the first point of the next round! Round 3 Score:
Question 1: Ravenclaw
Question 2: Match Score: Gryffindor - 1 Ravenclaw - 1
Round 3, Question 2
Subject: Divination
Level: Difficult
