Quidditch Cup Championship
Author: Viktor Krum
Date: 06-09-18 10:58
For the Hogwarts championship match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin Viktor asked both Flora Lynch and Theodosia Batuti to assist as referees. Marjani had wanted to help but has something going this morning and won't arrive to the game until after the match has begun.
Viktor has the trunk with the game balls on the pitch, ready to be released. Flora has a cup of coffee though ruefully says after taking a sip, "I'll have to go to the loo during the game. I should know by now not to go with coffee just before playing or refereeing."
Theodosia chuckles. "We'll surely have at least one time-out that will be good for going."
Viktor glances at his own coffee cup. "Tea wouldn't be much better, if at all."
Flora drains her cup then grins. "It's not even as though we're starting first thing. I've been up for hours but still have this need to caffeinate. I'm going to go now though it won't matter." She departs with a laugh for the nearest water closet.
Theodosia stands there a second then decides she should go as well. Crumpling his now empty cup Viktor thinks, "Why not?" and after calling over a student not yet in the stands to make sure no one tampers with the trunk and its balls, he departs as well.
Viktor is somehow the first one back, saying to the student Louis Kegg, "Thank you. Three points for Hufflepuff."
The stands are rapidly filling and by the time the announcer welomes everyone to the match Viktor thinks anyone in a group of three or more might be hard pressed to find seats together but could be he's wrong and once in the air he'll have a better vantage point of any empty seating areas.
Two or three more minutes pass and then it's time. The teams are announced with Viktor reminding the captains, Paton Shrewsbury and Malden McGonagall, to play a clean match. The teams also include Kurt Blackwell, Noah Stratford, Eileen McCourt, Seth Weasley, Franciscus Vanderbilt, and Bran Hyland for Ravenclaw and Asher Kent, Douglas Dippet, Maurice Kilman, Charlotte Stratford, Belinda McCourt, and Sylvestor Trainor for Slytherin. All are now in the air as are Theodosia and Flora.
With all four balls released Viktor too takes to the air for the last official Hogwarts match of the 2011-2012 school year.
Last Match for Paton and Franciscus
Author: Griet
Date: 06-09-18 16:49
Paton was the first to get his hands on the quaffle after Coach Krum released it into the air. He immediately threw it to Franciscus, who ducked suddenly to avoid Asher's bludger, and then he passed the quaffle to Seth. Seth zig-zagged around Charlotte, who had a habit of deliberately flying in front of her opponents. Belinda breezed past her to catch up to Seth, who lobbed the quaffle back to Paton.
Paton drove hard to the Slytherin goal hoops guarded by Maurice and fired the quaffle at one of the hoops. Maurice dove for it and missed, but it didn't matter because the quaffle hit the hoop's rim and bounced off of it. Paton scooped up the quaffle again and let it fly the exact moment Kurt beaned Maurice in the ear with a bludger.
"Shrewsbury scores the first points of the match!" the announcer shouted.
Meanwhile, Coach Krum blew his whistle to call a time out and check on Maurice. The bludger had clocked him straight in the ear, smashing it and turning it red but not bloody. The ear absorbed the worst of the impact and basically shielded Maurice's head from getting severely lacerated.
Paton watched the scene but thought about how this was his very last Quidditch match at Hogwarts. Wouldn't it be grand if Ravenclaw won the Championship Match. He could picture himself as captain being lifted up on the shoulders of his teammates in their triumphant celebration.
Also, his mum was in attendance with the Flavershams. Paton needed the win, or Fulvia and Festus would tease him all summer long about how terrible a captain he'd been for the Ravenclaw team.
Coach Krum and his assistant referees determined that Maurice could continue in the match. Game play resumed with the keeper handing the quaffle to Malden. Malden took off like a torpedo and then pitched the quaffle at Belinda. Franciscus got in between her and Charlotte, correctly guessing that she might pass the quaffle in that direction. He intercepted her pass, turned the nose of his broomstick around, and hurried back to the Slytherin hoops.
He spotted Doug out of the corner of his eye and then saw a black bludger rushing at him. Kurt and Noah weren't in a position to defend, so Franciscus passed the quaffle to Seth. Seth almost fumbled the ball but then he secured his hold on it. The bludger struck Franciscus in the thigh, meanwhile. It hurt, but the impact didn't slow him down in the slightest. Seth gave up the quaffle to Paton when he became the target of a bludger, perhaps the same one that had struck Franciscus.
Paton again charged at the hoops and attempted a goal, but Maurice was able to knock it away. It skewed sideways a bit, so that Franciscus could catch it and attempt a goal of his own. He succeeded when Maurice dodged another bludger aimed at his head.
"Ravenclaw leads 20-0!"
Scowling, Maurice collected the quaffle and handed it to Belinda. While he raced to keep up with her, Franciscus couldn't help but marvel at how awesome the start of his last Hogwarts match had turned out.
(Belinda & Eileen) Not So Empty Threats
Author: Sophie McCourt
Date: 06-10-18 01:14
It hasn't been the most promising start for the Slytherin team. The Ravenclaw's supporters roared in the stands, excited with the two first quick goals of the match. Belinda had received the quaffle from Maurice, and flew away from the Slytherin's hoops as fast as she could. She threw the red ball to Charlotte, who called out her name, from the left, announcing she was in a good position to receive the quaffle.
Charlotte gained more terrain and then she offered the quaffle back to Belinda, when Seth appeared to pressure her right flank. Belinda held the quaffle tight, and she was able to avoid a bludger sent by Charlotte's brother, Noah. However, her situation was a little bit precarious, because Franciscus was now glued to her. Belinda passed the quaffle to Malden, who came to her rescue.
Malden exchanged a few passes between both Belinda and Charlotte, without the Ravenclaw chasers not being able to get the quaffle back into their possessions. However Slytherin had not yet been able to convert its dominion into a goal. The opportunity to do so appeared when Belinda gained the quaffle back, closer to Eileen's hoops. She did not hesitate and shot to the left. She applied all the strength she had but still her sister defended the goal attempt. The Ravenclaw supporters roared at the stands once more.
Eileen's heart was racing, as she managed to deny Slytherin their first goal in the match. She quickly passed the quaffle to Paton. She had been very nervous this entire week about playing today. This was probably the most important moment of her yet short life and she was afraid to fail and let her teammates down. Things got worse because Belinda had been bullying her all week. Whenever she found Eileen on the corridors, the Great Hall, or the Common Commons, she taunted her, telling her sister that she had made a special request to Asher and Douglas to neutralize her. Sophie had to step in and tell Belinda to stop harassing theirs youngest sister. Patricia meanwhile had comforted a tearful Eileen, telling her Belinda always transformed herself into such a mean creature because just like Eileen she too was very nervous and she acted like this to hide it.
Paton passed the quaffle to Seth. Charlotte tried to steal it from his hands, but he was able to hold tight. He speeded up, trying to leave Charlotte behind, but since she was right on his tail, he passed the quaffle to Franciscus. Eileen watched, as Franciscus, Paton and Seth formed a line, swapping the quaffle between the three of them, and advancing meter after meter, towards Maurice's hoops. It was a beautiful vision, and the Slytherin chasers were not able to break the move, until Paton was forced to abandon the formation when Douglas hit him with a bludger on his knee, making him slow down a little bit due to the impact. Without Paton, it was not hard for Malden to steal the quaffle in mid air, when Franciscus tried to offer the red ball to Seth.
The Slytherin chasers were now on the attack again. Belinda received the quaffle from Malden. She heard the whistle of a bludger behind her, sent by Kurt, but she did not change her trajectory. It was a good gamble, because the bludger did not hit her, passing however only a few inches from her right flank. The Slytherin chasers worked their way up to Eileen's hoops, thirsty for goals. She watched as Malden approached. However, instead of scoring he made a quick pass to the left. Charlotte grabbed the quaffle and shot.
Eileen dived to the left, stretching her arm, punching the red ball away. Once again the Ravenclaws and its supporters at the stands roared with triumph. It did not last long. Malden had the quaffle again. Eileen saw him, and she was feeling ready for another defense. Yet he did not aim at the hoops. He pointed at Eileen's face. Not seeing it coming, she felt the red ball going against her face. She heard a 'crack', as her nose broke, and she started to bleed. The quaffle meanwhile was caught by Belinda who managed to reach it before Seth and she scored.
"McCourt scores! Ravenclaw still wins but it is now 20-10."
All Eileen's teammates went to check on her, with the exception Bran, who could not abandon his position. Coach Krum and Flora Lynch approached as well. Eileen assured them all she was fine. The blood kept running down her nose, but she used two tissues offered by Flora to hold the bleeding for now. She knew by the end of the match her nose would have a terrible look but it did not matter.
"Make wave, she is my sister!" Eileen heard Belinda say. She reached her sister.
"Are you ok?"
Eileen nodded. There was panic and even some guilt in Belinda's eyes. Malden's move had been cruel, but quite brilliant and it was not illegal, as he claimed to Coach Krum it had been just bad aim, and the coach had to accept that. The match resumed, Eileen passing the quaffle to Seth. Belinda tried to chase him, still pretty shaken up after what happened to her sister. Her empty threats had turned into reality not by Douglas or Asher but by Malden and she felt somewhat guilty about it.
(Malden) Injuries

"It was an accident, honest!"
Smirking, Malden thought about the brief conversation he'd had with Coach Krum and assistant referees Theodosia Batuti and Flora Lynch during the latest timeout, which took place after Malden threw the quaffle directly at Eileen. The sickening crack that came with the impact, and the gushing blood that flowed from her broken nose were icing on the cake, while Belinda's goal was the cherry on top. Now if only Slytherin could score again and again to surpass Ravenclaw in points.
Malden followed after Seth, who currently had possession of the quaffle. Seth quickly passed to Franciscus, who held onto the quaffle for a mere second before throwing it back to Seth. Malden flew at an angle to come between them, hoping to intercept if Seth once again passed to the older boy.
Seth did, but the moment Malden reached out to intercept, a bludger got him in the forearm. He heard his own sickening crack and ground his teeth together, hissing from the intense pain he suddenly felt. Either his arm was broken or fractured, but something had definitely cracked. He cradled his arm against his body and used his other hand to wave off the referees, who were already debating whether to call another timeout.
Malden was somewhat ambidextrous, though he favored the arm that was now injured. He didn't want to get pulled from the game, knowing he could still be useful, even if he wasn't able to perform at his very best. Maybe his arm wasn't even broken. He could wait for the throbbing to go down and try to use it, or not.
Franciscus drove the quaffle to where Maurice waited and attempted a goal, but Maurice caught the red ball outright and handed it to Charlotte. Charlotte made herself as small as possible and raced as far from the Slytherin goals as she could. She passed the quaffle to Belinda, who passed it back to Charlotte when Kurt pulled in front of her to intercept a bludger. Malden kept up the pace, ready to catch the quaffle one-handed if he needed to, but Charlotte and Belinda seemed to be doing fine without his assistance so far.
They got to the Ravenclaw hoops, where Eileen's bloody face was also beginning to turn blue and purple with bruising. Charlotte attempted a goal, but Eileen reacted quickly and knocked the ball back. Malden was in the right place at the right time and had a big enough hand to catch the ball, though he didn't try to hang on to it for long. He lobbed it forward, hoping his non-dominant arm would follow through, and grinned when Eileen was unable to block his goal attempt.
Now the match was tied, 20-20.
Taking The Lead
Author: Briar Rose
Date: 06-11-18 14:04
Doug wonders how Eileen is able to breathe when her nose is most likely broken. It's swollen and the bruising is under her eyes now. Probably full of clotted blood too, which would also get in the way of breathing. He shrugs off the thought. Better her than he and, besides, Madam Pomfrey will fix her up after the match. If she can hold out that long. Pain must be miserable.
Malden seems to be having a pain issue as well. Too bad it's not one of the Ravenclaw chasers. Not that Doug wishes anyone to be seriously injured but this IS for the championship so if someone has to be hurt badly enough to potentially be removed from the match, better that player be a Ravenclaw.
Doug knows that's not a nice thought but he's highly competitive. It was all he could do not to taunt Duncan that Slytherin is playing for the cup, not Hufflepuff. He's gleeful now just thinking about it but then he catches sight of Duncan in the stands proudly displaying green and silver in support of his younger brother's team. Doug can't help he's so damned competitive but he supposes he doesn't have to be mean about it, making him glad he kept his composure and never gave Duncan a hard time about losing that last match, sending Slytherin on while ending Hufflepuff Quidditch for the school year.
Belinda has just stolen the quaffle from Franciscus. She flies an erratic pattern away from Maurice, gaining ground, or is that air? towards Eileen. Doug sends a bludger at Franciscus who's trying to fly close to her, made difficult by all her zigging and zagging. Noah intercepts and sends that same bludger at Belinda. The bludger connects a little with Belinda's elbow and she fumbles her hold on the quaffle. Seeing an opening Franciscus darts in but Belinda recovers and changes direction again, causing Franciscus to nearly foul her.
Belinda passes to Malden. Kurt tries to take advantage of Malden favoring one arm by sending a bludger to that same side but Malden avoids the hit by rapidly climbing. He levels off, sending the quaffle to Charlotte. Seth tries to get there in time to catch the ball ahead of Charlotte but he's slowed when Asher sends the other bludger into his path.
Reaching Eileen, Charlotte throws for goal only for Eileen to bat it away. Paton has the rebound but loses it by a bludger Doug had sent that general direction. Charlotte snatches the quaffle back into her grasp then a half second later throws for goal again. Eileen gets fingers on it but not enough to do more than slow the quaffle's momentum. It still goes through the hoop.
Slytherin leads for the first time, 30 to 20!
Tying It Up (Seth)
Author: Blossom
Date: 06-11-18 17:36
Quaffle in hand, Seth judges the distance to the three hoops guarded by Maurice versus passing to either Paton or Franciscus. The decision is made for him when Charlotte gets between Paton and him and Malden inserts himself between Franciscus and him. Seth lets the quaffle soar, looking to the center hoop but sending it off to his right. Maurice is slow but still manages to get far enough over to halt the quaffle's flight. Catching it outright, he hands the ball off to Belinda.
Belinda accelerates away, Seth right in step with her if flying could be called being in step. She increases speed, seemingly annoyed that Seth is keeping up. Belinda does a half-barrel roll, dropping the quaffle to Malden. He gingerly catches it, apparently not wanting to jostle his bad arm more than necessary.
Franciscus is on Malden's good side, harrying him in an effort to outright steal the ball. Unable to easily shift to his other hand, Malden tightens his grip on the ball and attempts to pull away only to have to slow down when Kurt flies directly across his path in pursuit of a bludger. Malden's mouth tightens into a fierce frown when Franciscus is able to take ahold of the red ball and jerk it away without committing a foul in the process.
Seth angles his broom around in a tight curve, heading back in the direction of Maurice's hoops. On the way there Franciscus passes to Paton and that's who has the ball when Ravenclaw makes another attempt at scoring. Paton hurls the quaffle at one of the hoops, with Maurice wincing from the force of the hit when he slaps his hand against the ball to turn it back.
Seth nearly knocks heads with Charlotte when they both go for the rebound. He's not in a good position to score so sends the ball on to Franciscus who throws the quaffle towards the center of one of the hoops. This time Noah is able to assist with a bludger. Maurice misses the block and the quaffle goes cleanly through the hoop. The game is now tied 30-30.
(Asher) Behind Again
Author: Jolyon
Date: 06-11-18 18:27
Maurice retrieved the quaffle and gave it to Charlotte, who shot forward with Belinda and Malden flanking either side of her. Asher immediately launched himself after a bludger and used it on Paton, who was flying directly behind Charlotte. Asher wasn't sure what the Ravenclaw chaser's strategy was, since he was basically shielding Charlotte from a bludger hit.
Asher's bludger struck the bristles of Paton's broomstick and caused them the splinter and shower every which way. One of the splinters caught Belinda in the leg, and another nearly got nearby Franciscus in the eye. Paton, meanwhile, lost control of his broomstick and sideswiped Malden. Malden scrambled to regain hold of his broomstick, preventing himself from falling over the side.
Charlotte was suddenly somewhat alone, and then Kurt was there to knock one bludger her way, and Noah came along to use Asher's bludger against Charlotte too. She rolled to avoid Kurt's bludger and cried out when Noah's caught her shoulder. The impact was all it took for Seth to lift the quaffle from Charlotte's arms. He made a wide arc around and zoomed ahead, with a fast-blinking Franciscus hurrying to lend a hand. Paton was flying a bit wobbly and had trouble keeping up.
Asher went on the defensive. He went after the bludger Kurt had just attempted to use on Charlotte and batted it to Doug, who batted it up ahead at Seth. Noah was there to interept it and aimed for Belinda. Asher was on the spot to deflect the bludger, batting it again to Doug. Instead of aiming for Seth once more, Doug merely batted it back to Asher, who had flown into a much better position to do damage.
What happened instead was that Asher's bludger struck the quaffle as Seth was letting it fly. The impact knocked the quaffle horizontally across the front of the goal hoops, and then Franciscus was suddenly there, stopping the ball from continuing on its trajectory with a single punch of his fist. By some miracle, the quaffle went through one of the hoops, and just like that, Ravenclaw was leading 40-30.
(Charlotte & Noah) Rivals
Author: Lysander Stratford
Date: 06-12-18 16:02
Charlotte accepted the quaffle from Maurice and hastened away from the Slytherin goals. She wasn't thrilled that Ravenclaw had pulled ahead again and was determined to tie things up once more. With any luck, Slytherin would also get in a couple of back-to-back goals.
More than anything, Charlotte wanted to win the match against Ravenclaw. She got along decently with her cousin Noah, but she still wanted to beat him, especially since the whole family was in the stands watching the championship match. Charlotte's dad, Dylan, and August were all wearing Slytherin green, while Uncle Liam, Aunt Midori, and Sophia were decked out in Ravenclaw blue.
Charlotte rushed forward and then passed the quaffle to Belinda. Belinda flew very close to Malden's good side and made it seem as if she handed him the ball. He made a great show of pretending to carry it, particularly as he could only do so with his lesser hand since his other arm had been badly injured earlier in the match.
Belinda, meanwhile, acted as if she didn't still have it and flew in support of Malden. Ignoring her instinct to drive to the Ravenclaw hoops, Belinda flew as casually as she could. Malden, on the other hand, scrunched his face with determination. He got within scoring range and started to throw. Eileen followed his movements, but then she realized Malden only held air and turned her attention on Belinda.
Belinda quickly passed the quaffle to Charlotte, who scored before Eileen could redirect her attention a second time. Just like that, the match was tied 40-40.
Eileen retrieved the red ball and gave it to Seth. Noah wasted no time launching a bludger at Charlotte, who wanted to get the quaffle back into Slytherin possession in order to get in that back-to-back goal, but she avoided getting hit. Fortunately, Seth passed the quaffle to Franciscus without any disruption from Charlotte.
Franciscus took off quickly, ignoring Paton who was still trying to get his listing broomstick under control. It was almost like Ravenclaw and Slytherin had a similar handicap. Ravenclaw had a chaser with a wonky broomstick, and Slytherin had a one-armed chaser.
Noah dispatched a bludger after Belinda, but Asher intercepted it and redirected it at Franciscus. Kurt called out a warning, though he was unable to get to the ball before Doug could reach it. Franciscus passed the ball to Seth, who pushed towards the goals. Doug fired the bludger at Seth. Kurt got there this time and batted the bludger at Noah, who was in a prime position to hit Maurice. Seth let the quaffle fly, and Noah aimed squarely for Maurice's face. Maurice, not wanting to look like Eileen, ducked. Seth's goal went through the hoop perfectly.
"Ravenclaw leads again, 50-40!" shouted the announcer.
Sighting [Sylvestor]
Author: Georgia Copperpot
Date: 06-12-18 17:47
Bloody hell!
Where is the snitch?
Sylvestor hasn't seen the winged ball since the snitch was released start of match. He doesn't think Bran has either, though he could be wrong. If Bran saw it and was being sneaky, trying not to let on he'd spotted it only to have it get away, Sylvestor would never know.
With his back to the current action he's listening to the announcer, fighting an urge to turn around, stop, and just sit and watch. With that darned snitch nowhere to be seen, he'd make as much progress as if he were actively seeking but, no, he would pay for it if he did. If he took a minute to enjoy watching rather than participating Bran would most certainly see the snitch and get to it before Sylvestor ever got his broom in motion again.
According to the announcer, whose name Sylvestor cannot bring to mind for some reason, Belinda is driving towards Eileen and her hoops. Noah has sent a bludger after her but Doug diverted it to target Paton. Asher has just smashed the other bludger in Seth's direction. Now Malden has the quaffle, thanks to a lovely (the announcer's word) pass from Belinda. Charlotte zips over Malden's head, grabbing the quaffle as she goes when Malden tosses it up to her.
Franciscus - is he the one whose broom is being weird? No, that's Paton. Harder to keep these things straight when not actually watching the bulk of the action. Franciscus tries to get the quaffle from Charlotte but she changes the hand holding it then throws to Eileen's right.
The snitch! There!
The small ball flies right past him. Sylvestor pulls hard in his broom, sharply bringing it about. Racing after the winged ball, his eyes fixed on it and nothing else, he gets within arm's reach of it. The snitch maintains the same speed as Sylvestor accelerates, arm stretching out, fingers straightening.
Wham!
Wincing as he pulls his arm back in, Sylvestor counts himself lucky. The bludger could have broken a bone or fifty in his hand. Does a hand have fifty bones? He shakes his head at such a silly thought even as his eyes dart around for sight of the snitch.
No sign of it.
Bloody hell.
Feeling deflated Sylvestor resumes the search, checking the scoreboard to see if Slytherin had scored about the time he spotted the tiny flying ball.
No.
Still 50 to 40, Ravenclaw's favor.
Sighing and giving his stinging hand a good shake, Sylvestor wonders where the snitch got off to and, as he often wonders, how did it vanish so quickly?
End Of Match (Kurt & Bran)
Author: Saffron
Date: 06-13-18 17:34
Malden, playing well despite having problems with one of his arms, has just thrown the quaffle at one of the hoops hoping to score Slytherin's fifth goal only to have Eileen catch the ball outright. She passes it off to Paton, whose broom is still being wonky but not as badly as before, who throws the quaffle to Franciscus.
Franciscus passes to Seth who in trying to avoid a bludger from Doug can't get a good grip, allowing Charlotte to snatch it away from him. Near as they still are to the hoops, she immediately hurls the quaffle towards one of them. A combination of good timing on a bludger from Kurt knocking the quaffle slightly off trajectory and Eileen able to tap the quaffle even further away from the hoop has several chasers scrambling for it.
Paton emerges from the massing chasers with quaffle held tightly against his chest. He speeds away as best he can on a broom that's no longer working optimally. Franciscus and Seth are soon in positions to accept a pass should he make one while Malden, Belinda, and Charlotte are doing their collective best to ensure that a successful pass does not happen.
Asher gets off a bludger at Paton, hitting him on the shin just as he's thrown the quaffle to Franciscus. Belinda shoots between them for the steal only to be waylaid by a bludger from Noah. Franciscus passes to Seth who makes headway towards Maurice. Closing in, Seth passes back to Franciscus. Franciscus starts to throw to his left only to hold up for some reason. Kurt gets off a bludger aimed at Maurice as Franciscus cocks his arm back and this time lets the quaffle go, sending it towards the center hoop.
At the same moment the quaffle soars through the center hoop, just barely getting past Maurice, Bran spots the snitch. As he hears, "Ravenclaw now leads 60 to 40!" he closes in on the little ball. The snitch darts away then stops and hovers as if taunting him. Bran once more gets closer only to have the snitch once again shoot away. That's when Sylvestor also sees the golden snitch.
Sylvestor comes at it from a different angle but as with Bran the snitch stays out of reach. Bran can't say he's upset about it not cooperating for Sylvestor.
The snitch climbs at a steep angle, Sylvestor and Bran following only to have the snitch loop around behind them. They both rapidly wheel about, trying not to get close enough to each other to hit and get tangled up in the process.
The snitch takes off in a straight line, the two seekers hastening after it. Bran is edging Sylvestor out but is forced to slow slightly because of a bludger. Sylvestor surges ahead but he too is forced to drop back a little when the other bludger is suddenly in his path.
Now, they are fairly even, each low over his broom, urging their brooms to speed up even more. They are forced to tightly turn in tandem when they reach one end of the pitch and it's turn or go out of bounds.
The snitch is right there flying in between the ends of their broom handles. Sylvestor and Bran reach for it at the same time, hands and arms bumping as each strains to catch the snitch. Bran feels his fingers brushing something that does not feel like Sylvestor's fingers. He makes a fist, sighing with relief at the feel of fluttering against the palm of his hand. Beside him, Sylvestor makes a combination groaning-grunting sound. As they slow, descending to the grass, Sylvestor says, "Congratulations." He doesn't sound enthused but Bran can't blame him there.
With a score of 210 to 40, the match ends with a Ravenclaw victory over Slytherin!
