The Gryffindors were emboldened by the small run they were making to pull close to Ravenclaw. However, they were perhaps too bold, as both Blaise Bellaire and Ava Burton sent gobstones into the center of the circle. "Penalty for multiple stones per round, lions. Communication is key! Points to Ravenclaw," she said to Penelope, indicating she need not roll.

Advisor's Note: The two Gryffindor answers were more than 5 minutes apart. Ravenclaw is automatically awarded the points.

After the penalty, Ravenclaw sent out Thornton Baines and Gryffindor sent Natalia Woolf. The two upper year students battled it out, both releasing good rolls. The eagle's shot just couldn't compare, however. Both gobstones sprayed the Ravenclaw with their foul liquid. "And we are all tied up at nine heading into the fourth round!" Tiara exclaimed.

Advisor's Note: Play is currently stopped due to a disputed question. The next post will be another normal question with an explanation of the ruling included.

Janelle and Blaise headed out on the court with their respective house shooters after Thornton and Natalia had taken a seat on the team benches. The two swung their shooters and watched their stones take off. The red stone managed to get around one obstacle before it stopped. The blue stone surpassed its opponent and 5 more obstacles before it too stopped for the points.

"1 point to Ravenclaw!"

Advisor note: The headless hunt question was disputed. After a discussion between the advisors we've decided to let the ruling stand as it is with Gryffindor getting the points. In the future though please check that your spelling is correct and accurate before you post. Also when possible please use the books and the school RPG archives for referance over using the HP Wiki since it isn't a fully reliable source of information.

TiaMarie and Ava headed out for new tries with their shooters. The two girls swung their shooters and kicked their marbles forward in the court. The blue stone rolled past a few obstacles before it lost speed and stopped causing a gush of smelly gob to be sprayed up in the air and over everyone. The red marble surpassed its opponent and around a few more obstacles before it stopped.

"2 points to Gryffindor!" Leo declared as he wiped gob from his face with a handkerchief.

Ava and TiaMarie were not yielding their positions for anything! The first year lion got the best of the sixth year eagle this time around, her marble coming to rest several inches closer to the goal. "Entering the fifth and final round, our score is 10 to 14 in favor of Gryffindor!" And my how the tables had turned over the course of this match!

Sophie stayed on the the second roll of the match for the eagles while the lions switched in Zander instead of Cinnamon. The head couple swung their shooters and watched their marbles roll away. The red marble picked up its pace as it made its way around the first 4 obstacles. It did though not have the energy to pass the fifth obstacle. It stopped inches from smacking into it. Everyone held their breath for gob that didn't sip out. The blue marble surpassed its opponent and 4 more obstacles getting it closer to the Jack Stone.

"2 points to the eagles!" Leo declared from the sideline.

The last encounter between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw was concluded by the facing off between Burton and Shackelbolt. Both players did their best in this last turn with their shooting. The red marble raced towards the goal and was the first to touch the Jack Stone, causing Mr Kitridge to start applauding a little too enthusiastically-- not because Gryffindor had gotten the last point of the match, but because it was finally over and they would all go back to their headquarters to eat some well deserved food.

"Gryffindor wins!" He announced, clapping lightly, "Great game Ravenclaw, you were fantastic as well. Thank you everyone for watching and taking time out of your leisure time to enjoy this constolation match today. Today's player of the match is Ava Burtonn, thank you for your dedication to the game." He flashed Ava a big smile. "Off you go to your common rooms for hanging out with your housemates or even studying for your next lessons." Leo ushered everyone out, out, out.
