Mariel grabbed the ball that bounced off Jenn and snickered at her words. Cale happened to be closest to her anyway so, accelerating in his direction, she threw the ball hard at his side. Eep! Just as she let go of her ball, she saw that he had thrown another back at her. She veered a little too hard to her left to just narrowly dodge the ball, sending her into a spiral. Luckily it didn't take long for her to fly out of it and she resumed looking for another ball to throw.

Rian zoomed (slowly, of course. This girl was still afraid of brooms and/or heights!) around the pitch, searching for a ball. She wasn't going to get yelled at by Mr. Quidditch Dude again.

Frowning and shaking her head, she dove into the thick of the dodge balling. "Aha!" she exclaimed, catching a ball that fell from above her. She looked around herself quickly, finding the closest Gryffinpuff. Of course, that was Cale. I've tried once, maybe two's lucky, she thought as she chucked the ball toward his shoulder.

"Ah!" she screamed, hearing her voice. "I'm not talking!" she yelled, thinking it had been Vindictus that yelled at her. Her face drained of color when she realized she'd just yelled at a teacher, and she hoped he didn't hear, because it had actually been Jenn to call her name.

Ooh, if she got in trouble, Jenn would pay. Rian would steal her pumpkin pasties, or something.

Lyra heard a familiar voice and turned to find none other than Robert. "HA! Are you saying I throw like a girl because if you are," she said as her eyes narrowed playfully. "Well I am a girl! You wait until I get my hands on another ball." She caught his wink and did the same before zooming off in search of another ball.

Cale dodged one ball from Mariel and frowned as she dodged his as well. As soon as he turned around, he saw another ball flying his way. EEEEEK! He stopped abruptly and dropped a couple of feet, watching as the ball flew over his head. He zoomed around to try and find another ball--those Ravenclaws were going down!

Jenn glanced up at Rian, occuping herself with learning as many hexes as she could cram in her mind. She watched as Rian caught a ball, and she jumped slightly. "Did you catch that?! Did someone throw that at you?!"she asked, her hopes skyrocketing.

Robert laughed loudly as he flew off, his eyes scanning around for a ball. Finding one he zoomed down to the ground, narrowly pulling up before he crashed and grabbed it. "Oh Lyra dearrrr..." He said with a smirk as he scanned the group. There were so many Ravenclaws it was funny to him. He dodged and flew around the group making sure not to get hit by any impending balls meant for other people while he searched.

Copernicus did NOT want to get hit by another ball, especially since he had unfortunately already bruised his face. From the corner of his eye, he spotted the kicked-out-of-Beauxbatons beauty coming up on him, ball in hand. Without watching where she was aiming, he dropped to his broom and rolled into a dive. Whoa. Where did he learn that?

"UGH!" Rian exclaimed, watching Cale. "That was lucky!" she yelled at him. Once again, her face drained of color. It might be a good thing she didn't have an interest in Quidditch. Competition obviously did horrible things to her.

"Sorry!" she screamed, still looking at the Prefect. She'd never talked to him, and that wasn't a good thing. She probably seemed like a moron, now, and he'd most likely run away screaming if she ever approached him.

Lyra smiled as Copernicus did a cool roll into a dive move. That was one she needed to learn. WHOA! And then there was another Ravie, a rather handsome one calling her name. Her eyes shifted back to Robert with a smirk on her face. "Yes dear," she snickered as she zoomed off. This chasing was quite fun.

Robert watched as out of the corner of his eye Copernicus rolled and dived and he laughed. Pretty good. As Lyra glanced at him he held his broom tightly and chased after her laughing. He continued to weave in and out of the people until he was close enough to her and holding steady he threw the ball hard enough to be able to reach but not hurt her, toward her back. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a ball coming at him and dove down just in time before coming back up. That was close. He glanced back to Lyra with a smirk on his face.

Lyra couldn't help but giggle. And during her giggling feast...

SMACK!

"ROBERTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!" She may have yelled his name but she was still giggling during the process. Of all times for her to begin giggling she was taken out of the game...until someone pulled her back in. "I'll get you, you just wait and see." She was playing of course, but it was fun to tease. She zoomed down to the sidelines and waited for someone to bring her back in.

"We'll avenge you Lyra!" Tobi promised, flying past her as she exited the game. "Oh and we'll get you back in the game too!"

Jenn sighed. Now this....what was the word.......ah yes....it sucked! She hated being out. It was all Mr. Prefect's fault too! Sniffing and huffing she leaned back. After about a few minutes, she jumped up and started waving her hands up and down. "Catch the balls! Don't be scared, just catch the dragon dung balls!!"she screamed out. She desperatly wanted back in, and she was going to be, she could feel it, way deep down, she could feel it.(More like really deep down) "Rian catch a ball already! Please!! For me!! Or anyone for that matter."she added, smiling sweetly.

Robert laughed as the ball hit her side and he flew over to catch it while she was giggling, nearly tipping his broom in the process. As she yelled his name he shrugged and continued to laugh, "Should've been paying attention babe." As she promised revenge he smirked and watched as she flew down, "You can try, love." As a Gryffindor spoke he grinned and flew off in search of another target.

Vindictus let out a little 'yes!' and pumped his fists. But he knew Lyra and he knew her weaknesses. "Lyra, you're a mess! Here's a mirror and oh, gross! Bugs are stuck in your hair," he told her and gave her a nice sized mirror that had a pearly pink finish on the handle.

"He's Lying Lyra!" Tobi refuted, for Tobi knew Professor V. "You're a VISION! Don't listen to a word he says!"

Of all the players he NEEDED back, it was Lyra.

Feeling a bit showy-offy, Rian started going into dives and stuff like that. She had no idea where the sudden confidence had come from, but her fear of heights and brooms seemed to had vanished for the moment. Yes, competition was the reason, she was sure of it.

She flew in circles, smiling as she neatly dodged a ball. But in her amazement, she forgot to dodge another. It hit her sqare in her shoulder, and she threw up that arm in shock. To her utter amusement, the ball bounced off her, and landed in her palm.

"I caught it!" she exclaimed, doing a little twirl with her broom. "Jenn! Get up here pronto!" she called, beaming at her friend. She spun her broom around again, and shot the ball at Tobi. "Take THAT!" she ordered, watching with satisfaction as the ball sailed toward the Gryffindor boy.

Willow who had been. . . in Willowland, for there was no other to desribe why she had been so out of it, at last snapped back to reality, and it only took her a few seconds to realize what was going on.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why had she decided to start to DAYDREAM, for crying out loud? Hopefully this would NOT happen during Quidditch. . .

. . . She shuddered. No, it would not happen.

Stirring to the left, Willow watched the ball going back and forth between her teammates and the Gryffinpuffs. Or was it Huffledors? Eh, she didn't care.

What mattered right now, though, was to get the blasted ball and take some people out.

And. . . Lyra Noir was a mess. Sure Willow didn't dislike the girl -shocking, I know- but that didn't mean she could not smirk due to the way the Hufflepuff looked.

FOCUS!

Ball. Right.

And so she contined to look for it.

Robert frowned slightly as he heard Vindictus talking to Lyra. No...as he was talking to his girlfriend like that. He smirked as he said the word in his head and shook his head. Hearing the Gryffindor's remark he gritted his teeth. If anyone should be comforting her it should be him. "He's just trying to get to you babe." He looked thoughtful as it seemed Vindictus was continuing his 'pick on Lyra' crusade and turned toward the Gryffindor who didn't seem to be paying to any attention around him or he would have noticed how irritated he was making Robert. Turning his broom he threw the ball as hard as he could at the older Gryffindor. (Druidflower)

Jenn was about to fall asleep when all of a sudden she heard her name, and the glorious sound of, 'I caught it!' Jenn jumped up, laughing with joy, and she threw her broom out. Jumping on it happily, she zoomed up, and gave Rian a hearty high-five, then grabed a ball and threw it also at Tobi, a smirk appearing on her face as she happily felt the wind blow through her hair again.

Vindictus looked up and saw that the bone crusher was there. "SHOW NO MERCY, KOVAC. TAKE OUT THE GRYFFINPUFFS!" he shouted and gripped his broom, ready to join in the action if needed.

Paris gripped her broom handle tightly as she hoovered above the ground, there were balls flying all over and she was frightened of getting hit. She spotted Tobi and gave him a warm smile. Paris held a ball tightly, and threw it with all her might at Jenn, the Ravenclaw who had just joined back in the game. Paris let a coy grin take over her face, hoping it hit.

For the most part, Dominic was usually ecstatic about Flying period. And now they were playing dodgeball, in the air, which in most cases should have been super exciting way to get rid of the lunchtime energy rush. Though right now, the fifth year had been just sorta of off in la-la land as he watched the other students whiz by on their broomsticks.

Dominic wasn't really sure what the score was, but from the looks of things, Lyra wasn't doing well. Ah as long as the Gryffinpuffs, or Huffledors, were doing well.

Hm, best get searching for that ball though, before Vindictus decided to yell at him for not paying attention. Leaning in on his broomstick, Dominic scanned the pitch for that ball, not even bothering to look right in front of him.

And that was his huge mistake. Hardly a moment later, the Hufflepuff Prefect found himself flying right into someone in blue. Someone with a captain's badge on . . .

Rian's shot was coming at him from the side so he did the only thing he could think of. "AAhhh! I hate this I HATE THIS!!"

Just like the time Briony shot an enchanted shot put at his head, he rolled his broom to avoid it. It made him queasy though.

Phew!

No sooner had he righted himself but there was a Ravenclaw boy out for his blood!

The ball was coming for his mid section so he held steady.

Move forward, you don't want to stay put and get hit, Tobi advanced and caught the ball like a Rugby player.

"Yes!" he hooted. "Lyra! You're BACK!"

Tobi didn't think twice he just wanted to get out of the hot zone. He threw it at Willow and flew away leaning forward to take it at full speed when.

WHAP!

"Again?" Tobi whirled his broom around, "Who got me in the bum THIS time?"

It was Jenn.

"SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! I have other surfaces!!!" He flew off to the sidelines muttering about Ravvies and bum obsessions.

Robert watched as three balls headed toward the Gryffindor and he smirked knowing that the boy was bound to get hit by one of them at least. When his ball was caught he almost laughed as Lyra was brought back into the game. His gaze found Lyra and he grinned before flying off into a mass of Ravenclaws, laughing.
