First Quidditch Match Hufflepuff/Slytherin
 

:ballcap: The stands look like their just about full and most of the Hogwarts student body has arrived. Spots sends an owl to the Quidditch Announcer that it seems finally all is in place and the Firtst Quidditch of the term may begin.

NOTE: chatting in the Quidditch thread will not be tolerated, so please no posts like "so and so seeker floats over the Pitch waiting to see the Snitch" and remember NO editing of any kind, if you make a mistake....too bad. A coin toss prior to the start of this match by the Headmaster determined that Hufflepuff will get the first Quaffle question then Slytherin, and so on and so on....Good Luck!!! (also remember, if there's a Beater question offered, then it's to the team who is NOT answering the Quaffle question)

“Good afternoon Students, Professors, Headmaster and Ministry guests, my name is Flexio Magnusto, and I will be your announcer for this term’s Quidditch Matches. Today we feature the first Match of the term between the teams representing the Houses of Hufflepuff and Slytherin.”



A loud roar of support rose with the names of each of the two Houses. The announcer then turned towards the crowd again….



“Today’s match is being brought to you by Alivan’s Wands, Makers of Fine Handcrafted Magic Wands, remember…..the wand chooses its owner, choosey owners choose Alivan’s. And also by Weasley’s Wizarding Wonders, connoisseurs of Special Magic Accessories, see their stores in Diagon Alley and announcing their new location in Hogsmeade.”



As the two teams began entering the Pitch from opposite sides, another cheer rose up and the announcer’s voice could just barely be heard, he turned to face the Headmaster and nodded, the Headmaster nodded back his approval and the announcer stood up.



“And now may I present to you this term’s Quidditch Official, recently granted the special title if Knighthood from the Ministry, Sir Theodore “Spots” Puppington”



Spots moved to the center of the circle in the middle of the Pitch calling attention to the two opposing Captains, “now, I would like this to be a fair match, I will let the announcer do the play calling but I will be officiating.” He reached down and pulled out the small golden ball from the old leather trunk. As he lifted it up, he briefly held it next to the ghostly Snitch he permanently held in his other hand and compared the two. The real snitch stretched its wings and Spots looked one last time to the Headmaster who once again smiled and nodded his approval, Spots released the Golden Snitch that briefly hovered above him and then sped away out of sight. Spots then grabbed the reddish-brown Quaffle and, looking up to the two sets of teams floating just above him, he blew his whistle and gave the Quaffle a great toss up into the air.

What is Blagging?

Quaffle question to Slytherin:

What is Blagging?
A foul that can be caused by any player, in which you seize an opponents broom to slow or hinder them.

The whistle is blown and Spots call the Captains together, "according to my roster lists, JessieHeart is listed only on your reserve team list not on your starting seven. YOur chasers are listed as Aprodite, Shauna, and Lilbitmore. Therefore since an ineligible player answered the question, the shot misses the next question will go to Hufflepuff."

Quaffle: Nimbus 2000

"another wonderful save made by the Slytherin Keeper and the shot was again blocked so the score remains 10-10. The next quaffle will go to Slytherin.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...1/quaffle4.bmp Quaffle question to Hufflepuff:

What stlye broom did Madame Hooch learn to fly on?

Shooting Star

Hufflepuff's captain would like to issue a complaint concerning Lilbitmore's answer of Chaser question. The rooster lists her as a reserve chaser, so she has no right to be answering a keeper question.

I am sorry, I was told that Reserve players can play just like main team.

Shooting Star

"the whistle blows once again and the Official calls both Captains to the center of the Pitch"


:ballcap: Captains, this is the second violation by Slytherin to have an out of position player answer a question, I was lenient the first time but I'm afraid I will have to impose the rules which state that if an out of position player (in this case reserve team player answering a question) the opposing team is given a penalty shot and awarded 25 points.

"and in fact, yes! there's the shot and the Hufflepuff chaser scores the 25 point penalty shot and the score now goes to 35-20 Hufflepuff. The next Quaffle question goes to Slytherin"



ooc: by the way, my information says that she learned to fly on a Silver Arrow, (PoA pg. 254 US version)

To block the quaffle: Fire Protection Potion

"after a death defying plunge towards the Pitch it's SLYTHERIN who comes away with the Match's first Snitch............what an effort......whew. As for the Quaffle question it seems that the official, Spots is coming to the microphone for a decision"


"First of all let me congratulate the Slytherin Seeker on an excellent capture of the first Snitch, it brings back many memories of my school days........
But on another note, I don't recognize any referrence to a Fire Protection Potion I was looking for a much simpler reference to the smallest bottle as the one used to carry Harry through the fire and on to the Stone. I will allow the points for the score but only if you can produce your source or quote a page reference to this passage, but for now I am calling it an unsuccesful block to the Slytherin shot and 10 point to Slytherin and the next Quaffle question will go to Hufflepuff."

"and as the Official had said, the next Quaffle question is indeed for the Hufflepuffs."


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...1/quaffle4.bmp Quaffle question for Hufflepuff:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...1/quaffle4.bmp Quaffle question to Slytherin:

What form did Dean Thomas' Boggert take?

to block the quaffle: A banshee

The attempt to block the Slytherin shot by the Hufflepuff Keeper failed and Slytherin scores. The Banshee was the Boggart form of Seamus, Dean Thomas' Boggart was a severed hand (pg. 138 US Version of PoA)

Therfore the Slytherins get the goal and 10 more points and the score moves to 60-35. The next Quaffle question will go to Hufflepuff:



ooc: okay folks, I've been at this most of today so I will let all players know that this concludes any portion of the match tonight. I will continue it tomorrow (from work) so be prepared at any time, good job to both teams today and good luck tomorrow......Spots :ballcap:

Spots smiles at the long lost Chaser from Hufflepuff who finally made it back to the pitch, "unfortunately that question has long since been passed over and we're on to not only a new question, but a new day, although I do appreciate your spirit......" :ballcap:

"the next quaffle question should be......yes it is a question to Hufflepuff."

Who was the first Centaur to address Headmistress Umbridge in the forbidden Forest?

Magorian

"as the Sitch tries to hide amongst the student body, both seekers dive into the sea of cloaks and seat cushions........the crowd hushes as they disappear from view..........a soft mumur turns into a roar from the HUfflepuff side as Mrs. Weasley appears holding the Golden Snitch in her grasp. She brings it to the center of the Pitch for verification and Spots releases it again and it disappears.

So to recap, that's one Snitch to each side and we're still waiting on the Quaffle question to Slytherin......"

OOO! sry! I was away this weekend but got back late. I came to the game and I guess I didn't hit last page! whoops! sry bout that!

:ballcap: "thank you Mr. Magnusto, well the Keeper is partly correct in that according to pg. 508 of the US version of Order of the Phoenix, the corridor was marked SPELL DAMAGE but, I think, if you turn the page, you'll find that the specific ward was named after Janus Thickey."

"thank you for that ruling so with that score by Hufflepuff, it brings the Match score to 60-55 and almost a tie, the next Quaffle question will be for Slytherin."

In association with the Ministry of Magic, Department of Games and Sportsmanship, I have been given the authority to announce, in advance, when the Golden Snitch will appear next. Mind you this is not the exact time but it will appear within this four hour window of time. This move is designed to help assist the Captains with their substitutions and not meant as an act that will duely give either team an advantage. If the next Snitch is captured by Hufflepuff, therefore giving each team 2, I will announce another window when the Snitch will appear.

The next Golden Snitch will appear tonight between 7pm-11pm (east coast US timezone)
