Slytherin and Hufflepuff both take aim at the Jack Stone, releasing their gobstones from opposing ends of the circle. Hufflepuff's yellow stone rolls to a halt a quarter of an inch from the Jack Stone, beating the Snakes attempt from the last turn. Oh but wait! The Slytherin stone has bumped their first stone up against the Jack Stone and their second stone just an eighth of an inch away! With only one turn left in this round, Hufflepuff can't beat that! Slytherin wins the round!

OOC: Two things - number one, two posts from the same house that are more than four minutes apart are not allowed. Hufflepuff, you are receiving a warning. If it happens again, you will be penalized. Number two, starting this term, if a house gets the first two questions in a round right, we will not be playing out the third question. Instead we will move onto the next round.
