Catch!
 

Hopping on his feet now, he waved his arms a little more until he got her attention. WHICH HE DID GET, thank gosh. Steadying himself, and trying not to pay attention to others stealing more Gryffindor balls, he readied himself for the toss...

Which was a splendid toss. Went right to him.

Catching the yellow ball, he placed it on the platform, turning it red.

"NICE!"

Post 4 :: Pass attempt!
 

Ohh, look! It was another Slytherin boy, this time one she could throw the ball to instead of trying to catch a pass. She was still determined, and they WOULD beat these Lions! Ariadne nodded to him and raised the ball above her, trying to gain momentum for a really good pass. "CATCH!" she encouraged him, and with that, she hurled the ball in his direction.

But what was this?! Another GRYFFINDOR BOY trying to steal her thunder! Merlin, this Lion boys were FIERCE. She would NOT be stopped by another one! NOPE. Not this time! Ariadne tried to float around and around the boy in an attempt to block him from doing ANYTHING to stop her plans. Come on, Slytherin boy! You can do it!!!

"Oh, yes! TODAY!" she called back. She may be little. She may be young. But she was ON A ROLL.

Pass Interception!
 

Having successfully caught the ball, his victory dance didn't last long as his previous did. There were more balls to be captured and he still had two perfectly good legs and hands to use to get them. Jumping down from the platform, he gave another great leap just as his feet touched the ground towards the Slytherin side.

Maybe luck was on his side, but he found himself being struck by a ball mid air. Instinctively, he grabbed it as he was falling back to the ground, taking notice that it was indeed another red ball. What...

WHAT EVEN.

Post 5 :: Stealing from Gryffindor (Also, WAR.)
 

You have GOT to be kidding!

"Are you SERIOUS?" Ariadne asked, unsure if she could even be heard. The SAME Gryffindor boy that had JUST stolen her thunder not even five minutes ago had done the exact same thing again. "Alright, Gryffindor boys! This means WAR!" Yes. Specifically YOU, Gryffindor boys. She was determined. She was fierce, and she was GOING to steal all the red balls off the Gryffindor platform.

She just needed Lancelot McWitty to go hover by the Ravenclaws for a little while.

Frown set firmly in place, the tiny first year pushed her way toward the Gryffindor platform and plucked another red ball off the top. LANCELOT. TENACIUS. Go away. This was war! This time, she decided to float around with the ball just a little. She was trying to get clooooooooser to the Slytherin platform. Also, she needed a teammate to pass to.

ready to take the pass
 

Elliot glared furious that the ball had been intercepted huffing a little as he watched the ball turn red. No this was NOT how it was supposed to be. He looked around and spotted the same Slytherin girl. He caught her eye and motioned to himself when he saw her with a ball mouthing "Pass to me".

Deffending attempt again xD
 

Ariadne still kept going! Is she sure she wasn’t a Lioness herself?

And just when he saw the ball go to the other boy-- his teammate (Lancelot) charged in intercepting it.

YAAS!

But yeah there goes Ariadne again. This is war? "Bring it!" the curly top cackled.

And there he goes, zooming straight for Ariadne's hands. CHAAARRGGEE!

Post 6 :: Trying to pass, hee hee.
 

Another glance around the room, and Ariadne saw the same teammate hovering nearby waiting for a pass. Awesome! So now she had an ally! It was her and this Slytherin boy (she really needed to learn some names around this place) against the the Gryffindor boys that insisted on stealing from them! STEALING! Ruuuude.

Ariadne didn't waste any time. She wanted to get the ball passed to the Slytherin boy before the Gryffindor boys found out about it. BOYS. She always heard they were just a load of trouble! Heh. Ariadne quickly nodded and, on a whim, decided to fly in a different direction to try and get a better aim toward her teammate.

There were no Gryffindors around this time, so unless one just apparated right smack in the middle of them, the pass should go through beautifully! That was the plan! Ariadne hurled the ball through the air toward the Slytherin boy.

GOOOOO, SLYTHERIN!

catching for Slytherin from Ariadne
 

Elliot smirked. He had been waiting for this moment. With all the force his long legs could give him, he shot out into the path of the ball and grabbed it, fingers clutching tight. Slightly winded from the exertion, he jumped up placing the ball onto the Slytherin platform grinning as it turned a lovely green color.

Post 6 : Stealing from Gryffindor
 

Post 8..oh just hanging out on top of a lion. No biggie *grins*
 

So she wasn't terribly big but Tia hoped the shock other surprise tackle might have been enough to have drop the ball. Her ball. But not quite, because he still had the ball AND he was making a joke about hugging him. Uh no... She'd seen him with that snake girl and she wasn't for splitting relationships or making girls jealous. Hence why she let Soph and Z be last term.

"You're dreaming, Browne. And while Gryffindors give great hugs I wouldn't want to make the girlfriend jealous." Tia retorted, snorting a little. "However, I would like that ravenclaw property returned to me and our pyramid, please" she reached for where he was holding out, hoping that by being on top of him was enough...

Defending attempt yea!
 

Wait what theres another one!

""Yo Snakes! The Lions aint hosting an open bar ok??

And there goes the curly top after the little Snakette. GIVE THAT BACK!

Stealing Attempt from Slytherin
 

open for steal-pass
 

Yo that Gryffindor boy is faaast!

Hey dude! Yeah you he yelled at Lancelot "Over here!" Opeeeeen for a Passsss

attempting to defend Slytherin honor
 

Elliot blinked when he saw a Gryffie streak on the Slytherin platform. "Hey! Give that back!!" He lunged, fingers gripping onto the ball locked in a tug of war with the Gryffindor boy.

#7 still tackling with Tia, and kicking the blue ball
 

He never would understand this whole thing of people tackling him. They were welcome to, he didn't mind, but as it was... it wasn't working in her favour. Legs failing in midair, he managed to somewhat right them, but they were still floating on a slight angle.

He was dreaming? Nooooooo. But she did have a point, a jealous Maggie would do neither of them any good. "Good thing my dreams are only of her then," he mused shrugging. And shrugging some more, because GET OFF NOW PLEASE?

If she thought she was going to get the ball back, she could think again. "Fat chance of that happening," he chuckled some more. It was amusing for so many reasons. 1) Because she sucked at tackling 2) because he was sure his arms were longer than hers 3) he was sure he was stronger and her 4) being on top didn't necessarily give you an advantage and 5) because he had a plan.

He made sure to keep a firm grip on her arm with one hand and loosed his hold on the ball with the other, enough to be able to get a foot to it, and BAM!

... "Incoming!" Dammit Lions! CATCH!

Stealing Attempt from Slytherin! Pass Attempt!
 

Maybe there was an advantage of being a few years older? Or having climbed trees everyday since he was little? Or just plain active? Finger muscles like a hippogriff! He gripped the ball tighter, frowning at the attempted defense of the Slytherin.

Until he maneuvered so he grabbed the ball with his underarm and lunged backward...

Off the platform...

Landing with a slight stumble on the ground, a big ol' beam was on his face. How he got away with that was just AWESOME.

Speaking of awesomeness...

He looked up to the Gryffindor side, noticing the lion that was really good at trying to defend their side.

"CATCH!" he called up, throwing the ball towards him.

Catching!!
 

Catching tiiiiime!!

Tenacius seized the ball in mid air, and zoomed for their platform. Slam dunk! There goes the ball turning rosey red

"YAAASSS!!!!"

Did a baby lion just mew at her? Seriously? Ilia looked at the first year and smirked. "What would you know about an open bar short stuff?" The tall snakette retorted with a giggle as she defended her stolen ball. She needed a team mate to throw it to before she'd let the precious object fly. Who was open?

Post 4; intercepting kicked ball from Zeke-Tia tackle pile :)
 

There was a problem. A big problem when said partner was suddenly out for the take!!

Browne down! Browne down! ....More or less.

Which meant tactics had to change. Which mean the tackler had to become the tackled so the tackledee could be free. Or some such. Either way, too much thinking and not enough action was going on.

Hoping down from the Gryffindor platform, Amur made a mad break for the Raven-engaged-Gryffin duo, and there might have been a bit of a war cry in there. After all, someone had called war. She had heard it.

She was about five paces, or two and a half hops, from Zeke and Tia, when Zeke decided to change tactics again. All of a sudden the ball was a free-bee, rolling about on the ground. Amur squeaked, dug her heels in and lunged. The anti-gravity propelled her forward, and she almost swallowed the ball rather than catching it with her hands. Thankfully the impact with the ground drove said ball and air out of her mouth and into her hands, and as she bounced up off the ground and skittered a few feet away, she pulled the ball in close and tucked her arms and legs around it.

She HAD it.

Now.....she had to get back to the Gryffindor platform.

ready to catch!
 

Elliot spotted his team mate from across the room and shouted out to her "I'm open!!"

Passing for Slytherin
 

Ilia heard the voice. BINGO Baby snake at twelve o' clock. She whipped the red ball as swiftly as her arm would allow, right at the young snake. Come on little one! You can do it!

catching for Slytherin oh snap!
 

Elliot was at the ready. Eyes darting back and forth as he snatched up the ball that came flying toward him. Clutching it tightly he rocketed back to the Slytherin platform triumphant at the green color taking over.

Steal attempt-- Slytherin
 

If theres one thing Tenacius learned today, is that Snakettes are hungry!

"I know plenty" too much even "My dad owns a chain of luxury hotels. Seen more than my fair share of drunks and drunkettes" he laughed.

And yeah he saw them score. So off he goes stealing it right back!


"Yo Lions look awake!!" and he needs help to pass this to.

"AWESOOOOOME!" he shouted, hands thrust into the air.

But time was not on their side! He noticed the Gryffie boy moving from his post on the lion's side, deciding to take his place in hopes of defending or catching. Whichever came first. Leaping up to the Gryffindor platform, he turned and waited. Which seemed pointless, but waiting was sometimes good.

Or so his grandmother says.

NO WAIT. WAITING WAS GOOD. "HERE!" he waved his arms towards the great defense lion.

Steal-pass attempt
 

Where is he where is he where is he????

There!

"Here it gooooessss!!" fly ball fly!!
