Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor
The game starts off within two minutes. Eager to be playing Quidditch, Disa is able to grab the Quaffle easily, while Leizel and BrookieMalfoy make their plays as Beaters. Both have great tactics and with their activity, they are able to hit the Bludgers off again. In the meantime, not watching the scene unravel behind her as she dodges this way and that, ParisDior and Lilly Mckinnon decide to steal the spotlight with their gleaming bats. Proving to be a lovely team, while willowmyst, Gryffindor's glorious Head of House, hits a Bludger, Max attempts to save the Quaffle from going in. New to the game, his fingers just miss the Quaffle and it goes in - earning Hufflepuff the first goal of the game!
With a wave of her fingers, Asphodel high fives Disa and then heads down the pitch with the Quaffle herself. However, more prepared, Max is able to toss himself the right way and outstretch him arms far enough to save the Quaffle from going in.
​
Deciding that Asphodel deserved a break after her wonderful try, Disa steals the field once more. Sassily flipping her hair, she attempts to shoot the Quaffle. However, with a gleam and the hair flip draining her concentration, Max is able to detect where she was going to shoot and stop the Quaffle. Right then, the Snitch was spotted; Madelaine Weasley and Doctor What swerve this way and that to find the Snitch. Finally, it seems that Clara (Doctor What) emerges, Snitch in hand, Maddy (Madelaine Weasley) right behind her... HUFFLLEPUFF WINS!

Disa is nonetheless the quickest to post, and even too, a tad more than an hour later. Leizel and Ashftslipknot14 are not far behind, but with Rose Jean tackling Disa for the Quaffle, Lilly Mckinnon and DaVioletReader smack the Bludgers away. Allotting and dividing the posts almost, xSarahsan shows up with a peep, hitting a runaway Bludger away from her teammates. NevFawkks does not hesitate to block the Quaffle Rose Jean hoped to throw into the goal; it seems that with her years of experience, it isn't all too hard.
​
Asphodel, with a wink, decides to give her best attempt as well. Easily grabbing a hold of the Quaffle, she is able to shoot and with Junie4410 just a snippet of a second too late in stretching her arm out, she scores.
​
Wanting to change the game for Slytherin, Ashftslipknot14 steps in, her face vividly conveying her thirst for revenge. That appears to be too much, and therefore, Asphodel is able to dodge through the numerous players and tackle the Quaffle from her. She shoots and hitting a jackpot, Junie4410 is busy blowing her nose in reaction to the common cold. Rose Jean grabs ahold of the Quaffle but as she shoots, the Snitch is released, becoming the center of attention. Dragon and Doctor What disappear, zooming fast, in search of the snitch. Dragon comes out victorious, during their rumble... SLYTHERIN WINS!

Slytherin vs. Ravenclaw
Woah ho ho! Dragon and Omer, both very eager individuals, reach for the Quaffle. Each grabbing half, they bang heads and the Quaffle falls to free-fall. Well, better to try and fail rather than to not try at all. ;) Chuckling, but not losing their immense concentration to hit the Bludgers at the right moment, sarahnoodle and Ashftslipknot14 both are successful. While in free-fall, Dragon swoops down a tad faster than Omer, and rushes down the field with the Quaffle, but turning back when hearing a scream, she ends up dropping the Quaffle again. Luckily, awesome_forever, or not so luckily, was right beneath Dragon was is able to catch the Quaffle. Or so she thinks, as she too, ends up dropping the Quaffle in a mid-sneeze. Seems like some hands are too slippery today! :P
DaVioletReader does not get distracted and gives the Bludger a good smack. TheSmartpool seems to be next in line to grab the Quaffle, but it appears that the clumsy disease doesn't affect him and he is able to make it to the end of the pitch with AnneliseWolfe not far back, hitting all the Bludgers away from him. Just as he shoots, TheSmartpool is ever so lucky, with Junie4410 being taken out with a Bludger right at that moment.
​
The snitch spotted, both seekers, Eowyn29 and Aeri Song, sashay off. They dive, up, down, swerve to the left, and to the right. Yet, they do not find the Snitch. Both head off into the distance, not spottable by many spectators. After what seems like eternity, Aeri Song emerges, a gleam on her face... RAVENCLAW WINS!

The last game of the season it seems, and hopefully bound to be the most exhilarating. TheSmartpool can't held but speed around and catch the Quaffle for his last game as a student, and giggling at his amusing excitement are sarahnoodle and BrookieMalfoy, as they shove away Bludgers. He is lucky and able to shoot right away, making a super-team with Anne right behind him. Max, a bit distracted, accidentally lets the Quaffle into the goal, leading to a score.
​
Omer is in hold of the Quaffle next, and after dodging through many, shoots, wiping the beads of sweat off of his head. Max is not happy with his performance from before and proving his great skill, does a grand jete through the air to catch the Quaffle. It almost escpaes his grip, but the wrath the Quaffle would have dealt with keeps it in place. :P
​
A bit shy, but eager and vicious nonetheless, ParisDior leaps for the Quaffle as Max tosses it, and hurries down the pitch. The snitch is soon released and there seemed to be a bit confusion with the location of the snitch and it not being visible to all. For that, the Seekers were allowed to play overtime and searched long and hard for the Snitch. Madelaine Weasley and Aeri Song were both very close but Aeri just manages to makes it out before her. RAVENCLAW WINS!

unNecessary Advice with Nicole
Revenge is a dish best served cold, on ice, and with a side of Ranch. It's something to be relished in. It's something to be proud of yourself regarding. It's something worth kicking up a fuss in heels and taking the names of those who've fallen behind... Revenge. Why am I mentioning revenge? Well, perhaps a certain Headmaster should take note of this week's column and brush up on his skills because, m'dear, he's gonna need to after I'm sure our readers below are done.
In all honesty, I personally try to avoid the Headmaster as much as possible in my day-to-day life... he has a tendency to drone on and on about History if one gets too close and you might never escape before the cobwebs settle in, he's sure to latch on and... *shudders* but I digress. Seems like the young ones who've written in this time want nothing short of taking him down, so here it is folks... all about overthrowing your Headmaster.
How does one overthrow Liam?
This question is a lot more complicated, and I can't share my graphs and plans with you, but I can give you advice. You'll want to go to Zonko's during their Buy 1, Get 1 Half Off sale, but only to throw the scent of your true plan off. Then, write the best History of Magic OWL mumbo jumbo the Headmaster will ever set eyes on, and then... he'll call you into his office to do one of his famous droning history speeches, and that... that is your time to... sleep. Sleep, m'dear... You'll need to get enough of it if you ever plan to besucessful in overthrowing the Headmaster. So once you've gotten a nice nap in, you'll want to eat a good meal, and then... get back to your homework because it's never going to happen. Not unless, of course, you're Ravenclaw Head of House and just happen to be utterly brilliant and have the perfect plan.
What if you have an opportunity to overthrow Liam?
As if! He's locked in an ivory tower and only penguins can get in.
How does one prevent her friend from overthrowing Liam and getting expelled?
Getting expelled is not a terrible fate. You'll have plenty of time to plot your revenge then.

Anyone who knows me even slightly well knows that I am absolutely obsessed with Divination of any form and a skilled Tarot Reader. So I wanted to write up a fun new take on the traditional horoscope, where instead of looking towards the sky we ask the cards what is happening for you. I will draw a card for each birth month and tell you what to expect.
January - Ten of Pentacles
This is a time of prosperity and success for you. Perhaps all your studying has paid off, and your exam results show that. You have possibly been a bit risk-averse, but now you are reaping the benefits of that. The future for you looks stable and solid, is that what you want though?
Your Lucky Number is: 10
February - Strength
This has been a period that you have survived through pure stamina and perseverance, but you have come out the other side of it stronger and more motivated. Use that motivation to become even more accomplished right now. Be aware of self-doubt though, it has no place in your life.
Your Lucky Number is: 8
March - Wheel of Fortune
You have gone through a bit of change recently resulting in ups and downs, but this is all part of a new beginning and the next cycle of your life. This is a reminder that, during down times, you should try to remember that soon you will be back to happier times, and look for the lessons in your life.
Your Lucky Number is: 11
April - King of Wands
Caution, you have a lot of ideas and passion, which is awesome, but how many are you thinking through? You really need to evaluate your plans to ensure the greatest success, perhaps there is a wise mentor you can run your ideas past. Remember, success doesn't make you better than others.
Your Lucky Number is: 23
May - Nine of Wands
The Challenges that seem to be facing you are weaker than you, so stand your ground and protect what you value. Be careful though, not to see challenges where there might be none; perhaps you are being a bit overly defensive? Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice.
Your Lucky Number is: 35
June - Seven of Cups
Maybe you've been dreaming a bit lately, which is always a good thing but make sure you are staying grounded and your dreams are keeping you on the path you desire. Don't fall for the temptation of illusions when there are practical ways forward. A savings account will take you further in life than a lottery ticket!
Your Lucky Number is: 47
July - Two of Wands
Patience, this card is saying, again and again, patience. I know you want to have things done already, but you need to be patient. Look for the lessons in the journey you are on and have some fun along the way. On the other hand, if you have been thinking about making changes or perhaps travelling, then now is the time to do so.
Your Lucky Number is: 28

Enjoy the transformation it's beautiful.
