Plagued Logs

You can practically feel the excitement in the air today as the students flock to the Quidditch Pitch for the first game of the year! The sun is getting lower in the sky with the coming Autumn, our Seekers might have a bit of trouble keeping the light out of their eyes to spot the Snitch!



Both teams are out there to make their mark today and it's obvious as soon as the whistle goes. Gryffindor are making shot after shot but Justin Finch-Fletchley is saving goals left and right! It looks like Ron Weasley doesn't have the same spirit in him today as Hufflepuff take the first three goals before he can make a save!

Dennis Creevey turns the game around by scoring first goal for Gryffindor! No one saw the little guy coming!

Eleanor Branstone has seen the Snitch! Oh! A quick Bludger from Luca Caruso throws her off course and she loses sight of it! Well played Gryffindor!

Oh no! Ron Weasley takes a return Bludger to the bristles! Looks like he's having a bit of trouble controlling his broomstick! Nice shot from Laura Madley!

Things aren't looking good for the Gryffindor team after thirty minutes of play with Hufflepuff managing to score a whopping 180 points to their 50! Perhaps putting in novice player Dennis Creevey over Dean Thomas wasn't the best idea from team Captain Ginny Weasley! Both Gryffindor Beaters appear to be doing their best to protect him from the Bludgers and that isn't lost on Hufflepuff Beaters Sally-Ann Perks and Laura Madley, who're taking full advantage and still giving the Gryffindor keeper a hard time!

But as we know, when it comes to Quidditch, sometimes it's only the last few minutes of the game that can determine the whole thing!
