The atmosphere on the pitch was even more intense that it was from the stands. Demi stood with the rest of the Ravenclaw team, awaiting to hear from the Captains, and shot Cyrus a grin. It hadn't been so long ago that the pair had watched a previous game from somewhere in the crowds, and it was...
Demi was glad she wasn't the only Keeper that was having difficultly stopping the chasers from scoring, although at least that would mean they'd do well in their real games to score points.
Demi watched Lilith catch the snitch again but wasn't going to clap this time, knowing what happened last time. Instead she cheered for her while keeping her eye on the Quaffle.
Demi was minding her own business chucking the quaffle out when the bludger hit her arm. She yelped out but more because she'd been taken by surprise instead of the pain. Hey, at least she felt included.
Demi was still sat on her broom, no hands, watching the gameplay when she realised too late Lucy approached with the quaffle. She scored. Demi cursed herself before throwing the ball back out.
Demi wondered whether there was anyone left on the team that Audrey hadn't hit yet. She also wondered whether she was even needed, when most of the chasers missed the hoop. She grabbed the quaffle as Theo went wide, tossing it out again.
It seemed as though everyone except Audrey was having rotten luck. It was annoying that in order for Demi to do well in practice she had to make it harder for her teammates, but at least she'd be prepared for a real match against another team.
Demi wasn't sure if she'd seen correctly; had Lilith just smiled at the beater who'd hit her? The third year braced herself for the chasers, determined not to let another goal through next time.
Demi knew that she needed to stay alert for the benefit of her teammates. The more she could keep guarding the hoops the more likely they were to score goals and catch the snitch, she hoped.
