Gobstones Championship Match: Slytherin vs. Hufflepuff The building used for the Gobstones matches had had its doors open against the late April morning warmth. Its surfaces magically dusted by Professor Tanner and Mr. Kitridge, the school's Gobstones sponsors and made ready for the term's championship match. OOC: Remember only members sorted into Slytherin and Hufflepuff Houses can post in this thread, it is not a chat thread and there is no rping. |
Mr Kitridge walked down from the castle enjoying the warmth coming from the setting spring april morning sun. Tiara had gone on ahead earlier to set things up in the gobstone's building and dust out the cob webs. When Leo entered Gobstone's building he only had to turn on the lights and fetch the marbles for the teams and make sure everything looked in order for the last match of the season. Several minutes later the teams had assembled so Leo put his wand to his mouth to enhance his whistle to get the players attention as well as the spectators filling up the viewing area. "Good morning and welcome to the Gobstones club, today's our championship game of the season, I hope you're all as excited and geared up as I am." Not waiting for any responses Leo quickly signalled for the teams to choose their representatives for the first shot of the game. "Let's begin!"

Oliver and Adi headed out for a match between the just starting first year and graduating seventh year. Both boys swung their shooters and kicked their stones forward in the court. The green marble picked up pace as it rounded the first few obstacles but then it swerved heavily to the right and out to the far side. The yellow marble surpassed its opponent and one more obstacle before it stopped to win the point. "First point of the championship match goes to Hufflepuff!" Leo declared.

Adi remained on the court for the badgers while the snakes switch in Hady Lynch. The two players swung their shooters and watched their marbles speed off. The green marble rounded a few obstacles before it without warning stopped and sprouted out a shower of gob in the direction of the team benches. The yellow marble surpassed its opponent and 5 more obstacles before it stopped. "2 points to Hufflepuff!" Leo declared wrinking his nose against the foul smell.

Neither team switched for the next roll as Adi and Hady remained on the court with their houses respective shooters. Adi seemed to have picked up some sort of luck with his next try with the shooter. He was getting his house's stone closer and closer to the Slytherin's stone, and the goal in extension. "3 points to Hufflepuff at the end of the first round. Hufflepuff leads 6-0 as we head into the second round! Come on snakes!" Leo cheered on.

Hady and Adi remained for another duel of the shooters. The two players swung their shooters and watched the stones roll off. The green marble looked like it was picking up good speed but as it rounded the first two obstacles it was as if it lost all speed at once and it just stopped and didn't budge. The yellow marble surpassed its opponent and one more obstacle for the point. "1 point to Hufflepuff! Come on snakes!"

With nobody else volunteering to give the shooters a go Adi and Hady placed new marbles into their shooters and swung them again. The green marble shot forward and rounded two series of obstacles before it swerved to the left and stopped. The yellow stone surpassed its opponent and barely made it around another obstacle before it stopped. "2 points to Hufflepuff! Come on snakes!"

The Rehman-Lynch rivalry was bound to come to a head at some point. And this roll felt different for some reason, but not just because Tiara had come to relieve Leobald for awhile. Both shooters took there places once more around the Gobstones circle and released their marbles, waiting with breath held to see the outcome. Finally the Slytherin stone was victorious. "And Slytherin is on the board!" she exclaimed with gusto.
