Summers and Greenwell were up for Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, the seventh and sixth year held their gazes for a moment before releasing the stones onto the board. The red stone kept up with the yellow one almost all the way until it stopped and lost momentum seconds before the yellow stone touched the Jack Stone.

"Hufflepuff gets three points!"

Summers stayed for Hufflepuff and Atreyu for Gryffindor stepped next to the shooter getting ready. The stones were released and the sound of the marbles on the wooden board was the only disturbance in the silent gathering. The yellow stone rolled faster than the red one, reaching the goal first.

"A point to Hufflpeuff!"

Summers and the Gryffindor player held on to the shooters, waited for the professor's signal then released them. The stones rolled out on the board with significant speed, the red stone slowly stopping few lines away from the Jack Spot while the Hufflepuff one didn't stop until it hit the goal.

"Two points to Hufflepuff!"

Strand took Summers place in the next turn. He, with the Gryffindor player Atreyu, pulled the shooters and released them together. The yellow and red stones rolled on and on until the yellow beat the red marble to the Jack Stone.

"Three points to Hufflepuff!"

Strand stayed for Hufflepuff team and the Gryffindor team got one of the best players out for them, too. The stones were released and it took them a moment to take the right path, although the red stone stopped way before the Jack Stone allowing the yellow one to win this turn.

"A point goes to Hufflepuff."
