| | |  Gobstones Club Championship: Gryffindor vs. Slytherin
Professor Shackleton gestured for the Gryffindor and Slytherin players to approach the Gobstones court. She handed a red drawstring bag to a member of the Gryffindor team and a green bag to the Slytherin team. Each contained the appropriately colored gobstones. She then opened the drawstring on a separate grey bag and levitated a single stone into the center of the court. She announced, "Welcome Lions and Snakes to the championship match-up! I expect that before we begin you will have all made yourself familiar with the rules. You now have your Gobstones, so let's get started!" Quote:

Gryffindor and Slytherin take their positions on opposite sides of the circle and release their gobstones into play. Both stones are rolling toward the Jack Stone at a comfortable pace and are slowing to a stop. Gryffindor's stone is just a hair closer than that of the Snakes, but it is still anyone's round to win!

Slytherin rolls a second gobstone into the circle with a bit more force than the last. It's heading straight for the Jack stone! It bumps into the jack stone and bounces back ever so slightly, leaving Slytherin's stone closest to the Jack Stone. Snakes win the round! Quote: Round 2 Score

The Snakes clearly want a victory here today! They are consistently placing their gobstones very near the Jack Stone, nearer than the Lions thus far. Gryffindor needs to get in the game if they want to win the championship! Quote: Round 3 Score

True or False: You can only cast the Unforgiveable curses with your own wand because it requires the strongest possible connection with a wand in order to be successful.

Kiri Starstalker is well on the way to becoming the MVP of this match! A perfectly lined up gobstone soars into play and finishes just a half inch to the left of the Jack Stone, closer than any of the red stones. Snakes win another round! Quote: Round 3 Score

Slytherin and Gryffindor face off on opposite sides of the circle. Lions toss their stone into the circle with a bit less force than desired, but still pretty good accuracy. Slytherin uses a bit more force and equal accuracy, edging out Gryffindor's red stone and putting themselves closer to the Jack Stone. Quote: Round 4 Score
