Quidditch Match  
13th match: Dark vs. Grey
Score: Dark: 300, Grey: 150

Another incredibly close game as Dark and Grey battle it out neck and neck for the win. The action-packed game lasted an amazing three hours, as goals were alternately blocked and scored each team on the other's hells the entire match. It quite clearly came down to the wire between the Seekers. The Snitch made a late appearance as the teams scored, leaving the Seekers with little to do besides avoid being injured.

And then it became a race for time. Twice each team's Seeker nearly caught the snitch, only to be blocked by the other. Finally after a three hours, the Snitch was caught be the Dark Path Seeker, ending the game while the score had been tied, leaving Dark 150 points up for catching the Snitch.

10th match: Dark vs. Grey
Score: Dark: 170, Grey: 120

The lead is taken by Dark Path, as they win two weeks in a row. Even down being down a keeper didn't stop Dark from pulling past Grey. Grey scored goal after goal with no one to stop them, but in the end Dark's seeker surged forth faster and caught the snitch, ending the game before Grey could completely dominate and pull too far ahead to be caught. In a stunning game that lasted well over two hours, Dark and Grey seemed to take this battle seriously, and Dark path players redeemed themselves from their past losses to Grey.

Quidditch Match  
7th match: Dark vs. Grey
Score: Dark: 80, Grey: 290

As we return from break, the Quidditch matches continue to heat up the school. The pattern continues as once again Grey trounces Dark, this time in a stunning match that left the dust settling for hours. Early on in the game, due to impressive Beater work, one Dark Chaser was injured. A foul was called on some shady play involving one Grey Path Beater, but in the scuffle, the Dar Path lost the most valuable player on the team; their Seeker.

Dark refused to give up the fight, continuing to score and doing a fine job of keeping Grey from scoring, until this time Dark's Keeper was lost in play. Grey scored multiple goals rapidly and easily, the game seemingly in the bag for them. This was confirmed when Grey's Seeker caught the Snitch with not competition, ending a short, but action-packed game.

Quidditch Match  
4th match: Dark vs. Grey
Score: Dark: 180, Grey: 250

In the face of last week stunningly fast victory for Dark, this week's game was a complete turnaround. Longer but just as action-packed, this game was nearly anyone's until Grey lost a Chaser who was struck by a Bludger to the head. The score tilted drastically toward Dark making it 160 to 100 two hours into the game. It seemed down to the wire - and down to the Seekers. While the Seekers battled it out to catch the elusive Golden Snitch, Dark managed to put away two more goals in quick succession.

But it was all over only minutes later when Grey Path Seeker Kirsten Nordlund triumphantly caught the Snitch, securing an almost unexpected victory for the Grey Path team!

Quidditch Match  
1st match: Dark vs. Grey
Score: Dark: 70, Grey: 170

The Quidditch Season opened with a spectacular game between the Dark path and the Grey Path teams! Early on in the match, the Grey picked up two quick goals, courtesy of Chaser Kiril Sirakov, but then the Dark Path's Beaters began effectively cutting off Grey's Chasers. Brynja Aridottir, Dark Path Beater, slammed a Bludger past grey's Beaters, and managed to take out the Grey team Keeper. Down a key team member, the Grey team struggled to recover, as Dark's Chasers began scoring repeatedly. But up high in the sky, the seekers were battling to catch the Snitch, and this proved to turn the tide of the game!

Cold air and near-blinding winds didn't stop the Grey Path's Seeker Kirsten Nordlund from snagging the Snitch first, earning her team 150 on top of the 20 they had, ending the game in a sudden victory for the Grey Path team! What a great way to start of the season, with an exciting match!
