| | |  Gobstones Match: Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor
The building used for the Gobstones matches had had it's doors opened to the brisk, early autumn air and it's surfaces magically dusted by Professor Botros and Mr. Kitridge, the school's Gobstones sponsors and made ready for the term's first match.
The red and blue marbles were set out and the playing 'field' had been marked. Chairs were set out on each side of the arena creating a Viewing Area for those not playing to watch. OOC: Remember only members sorted into Gryffindor and Ravenclaw Houses can post in this thread, it is not a chat thread and there is no rping. Read the Gobstones Rule book before playing and if you did last term, please check again because it's been updated. The thread is moderated so your answer won't show up until the sponsors allow it. Any question please contact Magical Soul and/or Nordic Witch. | |

Sophie grabbed the shooter for Ravenclaws just as young Diggle grabbed the shooter for Gryffindors. Both players exchanged a look before releasing, and both marble stones sped down the board. The red and blue stones kept at the same speed, the crowd and the players anticipated the racing stones as they approached the Jack Stone, in the last minute the blue stone took a slight swerve occupying the place by the Jack Stone and setting the red stone off-path.
"Point goes to Ravenclaw!" Botros announced, encouragingly looking at the Gryffindors.

Diggle held her position at the Gryffindor shooter, even though the Captain stood from her spot and started shooting tips, Diggle shot her an annoyed glance of her own to tell her to quiet down and let her focus. Miss Hyde took the shooter for Ravenclaw in this round, petting the little one's head (Sophie). Both girls released the stones, and they sped across the board.
You could see the blue and red side by side, racing and rolling towards the middle, the blue stone ran into a bump and bounced slightly while the red stone surpassed it towards the Jack Stone.
"Two points go to Gryffindor!" Botros announced, a little too excitedly.

Huxley of the eagles marched out to face Sarah of the lions. It was an all girl's affair. The two girls released their shooters and watched their stone speed off. The stone's were neck and neck all the way up to the Jack stone where the blue stone struck first with a distinctive 'CLINK' sound. The red stone came up short.
"3 points to Ravenclaw. Come on Lions!" Leo pepped the red side that was so far very behind in the game.

Huxley and Sarah exchanged a glance with each other before they readied their shooter again. Both girls ignored the waves from their team mates. The stone's were released seconds later, they sped off down the court. Or at least one of them did. Sarah's shooter malfunctioned causing the red stone to just drop to the ground. She tried releasing it again but by the time the red stone roll away the blue stone had already inched up next to the Jack Stone for the points.
"1 points to Ravenclaw. Come on Lions!" Leo pepped the red side that was so far very behind in the game.

Sarah and Huxley stayed on the court even though Sophie waved vigourously from the eagle bench to switch. Huxley didn't see her. The two girl's released their stones. The red sped off ahead of the blue stone that immediatley swerved to the side, stopped and sprayed the whole eagle bench in smelly gob. The red stone could with the field open roll up next to the Jack Stone with ease.
"2 points to Gryffindor!" Leo declared with a cheer. Maybe pep talk helped to make the match more even?

The difference between an Animagus and a werewolf is that an Animagus elects to turn into an animal but a werewolf has no choice. After the person has transformed into a werewolf he no longer remembers who he is; he would kill his best friend if he got anywhere near him. A werewolf only responds to the call of his own kind. The only way that a werewolf can retain his sanity, intelligence and memory while transformed is through the use of the Wolfsbane Potion.

1. Lycanthropy is caused by a blood infection transmitted through the bite of a werewolf, whereas the Animagus skill is learned.
2. The werewolves cannot keep their minds after a transformation (unless they take the Wolfsbane Potion), nor can they control themselves when they transform, while Animagi can do both.

Sarah needed a break and tagged in prefect Alexa to face Huxley in another round. The two girl's released their shooters. It was a tight roll all up to the Jack stone where the blue stone managed to knock into the Jack stone first. The red stone unfortunatley had too much speed and fell over the court edge.
