This first match started in Week 3 with clear skies. As the bludgers and snitch make their escape from the box, Madam Hooch throws up the quaffle and the game begins! Jenna Rae draws first blood for Slytherdor as she reaches out for the quaffle first. However, it slips right out of her hands as she hasn’t read the rules for this year yet! Luckily, headlesghost (Martha) is right behind her and grabs it for her instead. She doesn’t hold onto it for long though, as Rowena Riddle sneaks up from behind to tackle Martha and steal the quaffle. She’s able to get a shot off, but Raspyriel (Cynthia) has her eye on the ball and catches it before it can make its way through the hoops. Meanwhile, bludgers keep flying back and forth between the different players, with nobody getting hit.
Martha is quick to grab the rebound but collides with Nooms as the quaffle goes into freefall. Anthony Williams quickly grabs the falling ball before passing it off to Jenna Rae. She gets the shot off, but Reyna Walles is keeping a vigilant eye as she catches the quaffle and throws it back to her team. Rowena grabs it and manages to dodge the Slytherdors long enough to get her own shot in. Once again, Cynthia sees exactly where Rowena is aiming and passes the ball back to her teammates. It eventually lands in Jenna's hands as the first mid-match snitch is released, sending Annabeth Granger and Reiluna on a hunt. Before Jenna gets too far, Omer swoops in and blocks her shot as both seekers return, with Annabeth having a slight time advantage over Reiluna. However, these Keepers have been on their A-game this match as once again the ball is kept from entering the hoops.
This back-and-forth of the quaffle keeps happening before Omer is able to get another shot off and the second mid-match snitch makes an appearance! Once again, no scoring occurs as the seekers come back, with Reiluna holding the snitch and Annabeth looking dazed and confused. As Martha catches the ball tossed out by Cynthia, she holds onto it long enough to make another shot for her own team. As this occurs, the snitch makes its final mid-match appearance! The Keepers’ luck must have run out as Slytherdor scores its first goal for the match. Eventually, Reiluna comes back with the snitch, while Annabeth seems to still be looking in all the wrong places. As the beaters spread chaos on the pitch, the final snitch appears, sending the seekers on their final hunt! Eventually, Reiluna returns with the snitch, making Slytherdor the winner of the first match of the season!

We return after the mid-year break with more clear skies and another Quidditch match. There are some slight changes to the line-up, but nothing super crazy! Nooms grabs the first quaffle, but can’t seem to hold onto it for too long as Cynthia tackles her from behind to steal the ball! During this, the Slytherdor beaters are nowhere to be found, leaving SusanHP (Linda) defenceless and she manages to get hit by a bludger for the first of what will be many times during this match! Cynthia also doesn’t hold on to the quaffle for long before Omer comes up and blocks her shot, sending the ball into freefall. But, she catches her own rebound and holds onto the ball this time to shoot. The "Keepers’ Curse" seems to have extended to this match as Arya saves the first shot of the game, throwing the ball back out to the Ravenpuff chasers. Rowena catches it before passing it off to Nooms. It isn’t long, however, before Cynthia is right there again to tackle Nooms. She gets to shoot, but luck isn’t on her side as Arya catches the quaffle before throwing it back. Once again, Linda has been hit by the bludger as she answers the question incorrectly. As Nooms catches the rebound, the first mid-match snitch appears!
Cynthia seems to be the MVP of the match as she tackles Nooms once again and shoots. However, neither of the seekers manages to come back with the snitch this time around as Cynthia slips past Arya and Slytherdor scores! She once again gets the quaffle and dodges the Ravenpuff chasers to get another shot in. While all of this is going on, the second mid-match snitch appears. At the same time as Arya manages to stop the goal, the snitch seems to be really well-hidden as both seekers come back empty-handed again. As more back and forth with the bludgers and quaffle occurs, the final mid-match snitch appears! This time around, both seekers come back, with Annabeth making it back slightly before Willow Maid.
As more shots are taken, the seekers come back… but seem to have lost the snitch on their way back, as they must have misread some of the rules or the snitch question. Before long, however, the snitch makes another appearance. More shots are taken, but the little gold ball seems to not want to be found! Eventually, Willow Maid comes back with the snitch and Slytherdor wins the second match of the season!

In the final match of the year before the Gap Year, we see clear skies once again. Martha makes an appearance again, grabbing the quaffle first. Martha doesn’t get far, however, as Nooms swoops in to tackle the ball from her. Before she can get anywhere, though, Willow Maid comes along and blocks Nooms from taking a shot. However, as the quaffle goes into freefall, Nooms is back quickly to grab it before Willow Maid comes back with a vengeance to tackle her again. This time, Willow Maid gets to shoot but Arya makes the save!
Nooms catches the pass from her Keeper and holds onto the quaffle as the snitch makes its first mid-match appearance! Nooms gets to shoot as the seekers appear, Annabeth returning first with Raspyriel not far behind. Once again, Reiluna makes a save as she sends the quaffle flying towards her team’s chasers.
Eventually, Nooms takes another shot towards the hoops. During this, the second mid-match snitch appears. Reiluna tries her best, but Nooms gets the right angle on the shot and sneaks it past her for Ravenpuff to score their first points! After a while, the seekers finally return, this time with Cynthia on the lead while Annabeth looks lost. Anthony barely gets to shoot the quaffle before the snitch makes its final mid-match appearance. After a much shorter time, Cynthia comes back with the snitch first, with Annabeth returning later, actually finding it this time.
Even after trying her best, Arya isn’t able to stop Anthony’s shot from going through the hoops. Anthony Williams gets the quaffle back and dodges the Ravenpuffs to shoot. This time, Arya seems to have recovered from her previous miss and catches the quaffle before it soars through the hoops! Nooms grabs the toss from Arya as the final snitch makes an appearance! Before much more can happen, the seekers come back, with Cynthia looking dejected and Annabeth holding the snitch, meaning Ravenpuff has won their first match of the year!
