Another drizzly day for this Quidditch match, but at least this one isn't as cold! The wind is picking up as these two teams make their way onto the pitch for what many consider to be a grudge match between these two houses! Gryffindor vs. Slytherin! They're off to a rough start as the Slytherin team go straight onto the offensive. It looks like it's going to be a tough game as Slytherin chaser Sorin Radoslav goes straight for Gryffindor captain Ginny Weasley, almost knocking her off her broom to get hold of the Quaffle! Radoslav to Zabini who shoots off down the pitch towards the Gryffindor goal. He shoots - Gryffindor keeper Ron Weasley flies the wrong way for a block - he scores! Looks like Weasley is a little distracted from the game! Gryffindor have the Quaffle, but--Oh! Tracey Davies collides with Dennis Creevey to snatch the Quaffle. He's completely off his broom! Dangling by his fingertips! Chaser Ginny Weasley is there to catch him, but the distraction has left Gryffindor keeper Ron Weasley alone against two Slytherin chasers! Back and forth between Davies and Zabini and it's another goal! Gryffindor Seeker Harry Potter isn't having an easy time of it either. Slytherin Seeker Draco Malfoy is marking him up and down the pitch. Potter sees the Snitch, but Malfoy is blocking! Oh! That's a foul! Cobbing! Excessive use of elbows! The Snitch is gone and it's a penalty to Gryffindor. Saved by Bletchley. Ginny Weasley has the Quaffle and is heading to the Slytherin goals! Keeper Bletchley looks ready to defend but she's too fast. Pass to Thomas and- FOUL! THAT'S DEFINITELY A FOUL! Gryffindor Keeper Ron Weasley takes two consecutive bludgers to the stomach! A blatant display of Bumphing. The keeper should not be attacked unless the Quaffle is within the scoring area! A penalty to Gryffindor! They score! Keeper Weasley insists he can keep playing, but that shock has definitely slowed him down, and Slytherin are able to slide more goals past him! The score is currently Gryffindor 120 and Slytherin 240. If they keep this up, the Snitch won't save Gryffindor this time! But as we all know, the final few minutes of a Quidditch match can determine the whole thing! |
