Stopping midair, she looks toward the professor.

Smiling she remembered some of the quidditch practices last year with the dodgeballs.

SweetAussie 02-16-2009 09:59 PM

Agie was going soo fast that most people may have crashed, or not been able to stop. Hover she managed it, with a smug smile on her face too. While she was hovering, she turned her attention to Professor V.

Agie raised her hand. "You have to, dodge the balls and not get hit. You play with two teams and you cant cross the dividing line of your team. If you get hit, you are out and if someone catches a ball you have thrown, you are also out. And no hitting someone in the head, because you will also be out for that round."

Cassirin 02-16-2009 10:00 PM

Copernicus stopped right when he was supposed to, but... he knew this game! He was going to die.

hermionefanforever 02-16-2009 10:00 PM

Jenn stopped quickly and listened happily, eyeing the red balls in Vindictus's hands. Flying Dodgeball? Sounded like fun. Jenn raised her hand happily. "Dodgeball is where you have about, um, twelve balls in a line in the middle of the floor. There is two teams. When the person in charge blows the whistle, everyone runs to the middle of the floor to grab a ball. The goal is to throw the balls at your opponent and get them out. The team with the most players still on the field is the winner!"Jenn said, taking a deep breath. She was surprised she remembered that much.

Torchwood 02-16-2009 10:04 PM

Qaz stopped and hovered as requested. Dodgeball? She may have been brought up Muggle, but she'd never played the game. This would be quite interesting...and perhaps painful.

Tommehbell 02-16-2009 10:04 PM

Flying dodge ball! This was going to be so sweet.

Suziella 02-16-2009 10:05 PM

Maddox stopped as the whistle blew. Flying Dodge ball. He grinned wickedly. This was going to be fun. He raised his hand and said, "Dodge ball is a game with 2 teams. Each player ahs their own ball, and you have to throw them at the oppostie team. If you are hit with the ball you are out of the game. The team with the most players left wins."

Mrs. Weasley 02-16-2009 10:08 PM

Abby stops her broom on a dime and hovers. She listens to what Professor Vindictus is saying. Abby's never played muggle dodge ball, so she has no idea how you play it or what the rules are. This new game sounds like fun.

"Today, we're playing a game. A game that will help you fine-tune your flying instincts. If you can dodge a Quaffle and a Bludger or even a person flying directly at you, then you can handle this game - Flying Dodgeball." He grinned and held up the two red balls. "Who here has ever played the Muggle game of Dodgeball? If you have, please share the rules with the class."

Upon hearing the whistle once again, Anna stopped in mid-air and hovered near the professor. She listened as he explained that they'd be playing a game of "Flying Dodgeball" today. Excellent! Anna just knew that something fun had been prepared for this class! Anna raised her hand when Professor Vindictus asked if anyone had played the Muggle game of Dodgeball. "Basically, if the ball comes your way, you have to quickly move or you'll get hit. If you're hit by the ball, you're out of the game. In some games, you're not completely out, but you just have to go into a 'time-out' for a brief amount of time. I guess it just depends on the rules set forth before the game begins," she said.

Tobi stopped his broom. It actually wasn't too hard to hover his new toy broom.

he listened to the question and then raised his hand, holdning very tight with the other. "Sir the point of Dodge ball is much the same as first rule - don't get hit if you are, you're eliminated. others are:

- there is usually a pitch, divided into sides with two teams, one team to a side, stay on your side, crossing your boundaries often means elimination, depending on the rules preestablished.

- don't drop the ball, if you do you're eliminated, though you can pass it to a team member.

- no head shots, it's a penalty offense - this can mean elimination or time out.

- last man standing/ not eliminated wins the whole game for his/her team"

Marcus. She flew up to him as quickly as possible.
"Hey Marcus! What's up?"

Hi Hannah Leigh, I'm just enjoying free flying Marcus said with a smile, slowing down his flying to make her keep up with him. How are you?
Hearing that they were gonna play dodgeball, and heard the other students discuss the rules, he smirked, saying Man this is gonna be fun! Muggle games in wizard ways rock

"Three points each to Ravenclaw and Gryffindor for your answers," Vindictus said. "Today, we're modifying the rules since we're in the air. There is no line and your boundaries are the confines of this stadium. Two balls will be used - these are Muggle red bouncy balls made of soft rubber and filled with air. I've enchanted each so that they won't fall to the ground, but unlike a Quaffle there are no handles or grooves for your hands. If you get hit with one of these balls, you're out and will need to land. If you catch a ball, then you can call one of your teammates back into action. You're out if you hit the ball with your broom - either you catch the ball or swerve to miss it. Wands not allowed. The game will end when all players on one team are out. The players on the winning team will earn five extra points each."

He looked at them and grinned. "It's Ravenclaw and Slytherin versus Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. Game on!" He blew his whistle and tossed both of the balls into the air. Let the chaos begin.

Syd 02-16-2009 10:17 PM

Rian stopped flying, making herself not groan. It had taken a miracle to get her in the air, and now she just had to hover? This professor was obviously trying to kill her. She held steadily to the broom, willing herself not to look down.

Her eyes widened when she heard the proffessor's words. Flying DODGEBALL? Well, that comfirmed her theory. He was at least going to give her a free ticket to the Hospital wing, that was for sure. Whether it be for falling off her broom, or getting a horrible stomache ache - or both - she was surely going to see the nurse today.

She shook her head slightly. She knew the rules to dodgeball, but she didn't want to open her mouth, for fear she would scream, or maybe even throw up. No, she kept her jaws shut firmly, and her eyes never got lower than her elbow.

Umph. Let the game begin. She swallowed, and flew forward slowly, wanting to get out of the middle of the action.

Tommehbell 02-16-2009 10:19 PM

She zoomed forward and reached for he ball and it fell right into her hands. she looked around and spotted TOBI

She aimed the ball right at his back and launched it.

Lizasaurus 02-16-2009 10:20 PM

"Yeah!" Liz whoops. Swerving to avoid Jen, she hopes to grab a ball, when they both were taken she took off.

druidflower 02-16-2009 10:23 PM

Oh this was going to go pretty good. Tobi was a Chaser after all. And he'd pretty much gotten used to his Silver Arrow. Yes, And Anna, and Cale were there, Agie, Kayla and Maddox looked sturdy too, this might turn out in their favour.

He looked quickly to see Paris take a shot at him, no time to be fancy or catch it he shot straight up in the air like a cork out of a bottle to avoid it.

"HA!"

Lizasaurus 02-16-2009 10:25 PM

Spotting a ball that was falling from missing a Gryffindor by inches, she zooms toward it, after grabbing it she tosses it at Marcus

Tommehbell 02-16-2009 10:27 PM

She watched Tobi dodge her ball and then a Ravenclaw took aim at someone. She looked around for the other ball. She spotted it falling and she took off to go get it.

Lissy Longbottom 02-16-2009 10:28 PM

Cale grabbed the ball Tobi had just avoided and grinned as the chaos began. Hmm, Slytherin and Ravenclaw, eh? He immediately spotted Paris, who had just taken a shot at Tobi, and aimed. Sure, he was hitting a girl and technically that went against his moral code, but not today! He wound up and threw the ball at the side of arm, hoping it would hit but not too hard, since he didn't want to hurt her.

hermionefanforever 02-16-2009 10:28 PM

Jenn grinned happily. Three points! Yes! Jenn listened as Vindictus explained how they where going to play it on brooms. It sounded like a lot of fun, and the winner got five extra points....EACH! Jenn was super excited.

Ravenclaw and Slytherin huh? Sounded fine with her. Jenn manuvered her broom over, and waited with the rest of her team.

Jenn watched as the balls where quickly taken by a person. She dodged quickly, not wanting to get out.

SweetAussie 02-16-2009 10:30 PM

Agie was excited. How awesome was this? She was used to being under attack when she was seeker, and it was only two balls. Just like in Quidditch. Only these balls were softer and probably slower.

She flew around the pitch, winking at her team mates and dodging all balls. She was looking for Lyra. Oh where oh where was that girl hiding?

Danny Boy 02-16-2009 10:32 PM

Barry was going to die, he had no experiance in flying. He had signed up but only so he wouldn`t look unfit.He flew up away from the rest eyes out for a ball.

Anna Banana 02-16-2009 10:32 PM

As soon as the whistle blew, Anna flew off down the pitch, determined not to get hit by one of the balls. She flew around the pitch, trying to figure out the best strategy to help her get the ball but not get hit in the process. It'd be nice to be able to catch the ball and get one of her opponents out of the game. Anna turned her head and glanced behind her, trying to figure out just where all those Ravenclaws and Slytherins had flown of to. Those were the players she wanted to stay away from. Now...where were those balls?

Lizasaurus 02-16-2009 10:33 PM

ummm, who posts outcome, if intended player disappears...
 
Zooming off when Marcus got hit in the foot, Liz takes off to the other end of the pitch.







Kay: I'm leaving this lesson open so that we can have fun, so if someone disappears then say that the ball missed them.

Syd 02-16-2009 10:34 PM

Rian shook her head again. This was going to be bad. BAD I tell you. She turned slowly and flew to join her team, hovering in the air besides Jenn. She scanned the air in front of her, looking for a stray - or on-coming - ball.
