Ravenclaw Against Gryffindor: Football/Soccer Match
Chapter 3
So this article was delayed and posted on October 4th 2014. I currently don't know when the editor in chief is allowing another publication but the next match is between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. *Hufflepuff still needs one more player.
Rules:
I have taken seven voluntary members from each House (in this case Ravenclaw and Gryffindor) and have taken note of everyone’s House Points. (Taken note of August 16th.)
Then I added up everyone’s House Points and the House with the highest amount of points would win the game.
I have also placed the players in order; from highest amount of points to lowest. I know that the second years have a disadvantage in that way, but the whole ranking from highest to lowest is only so that I can use a random number generator to determine who will score goals and such.
In order to get my results, in case anyone is wondering, I calculated the difference of points between the two houses.
Then, I divided the difference as much as I could (in this case it was by nine). The answer I received was the difference between the winning team and losing team.
Next, in order to find the losing team’s amount of goals, I took the first letter of everyone’s name and changed it to numerical value (i.e. J=10). After adding that all up, I divided it as much as I could (by 21) to see how many goals each team would get. As for who got the goals; I followed everyone’s ranked number and used a random number generator to determine who got goals.
*Please take note that I have put the players in positions of my choice.*

Alright, the two Captains have approached the referee, and Captain Veela Covington of the Gryffindors has won first ball!
The whistle blows and Gryffindor is going strong! Already, Forwards Veelas Covington, Alyssa Cardon, and Zoe Colpaert have dribbled down the field and taken a shot at Ravenclaw’s goalie. Unfortunately, not nearly strong enough; Celeste DeWitt sends it way down the field and the Ravenclaws are off!
The Ravenclaws Athena Pond, Chiyoko Amaterasu, and Melimar Lec, with help from Midfield Skye Lunar, are dribbling down the field confidently! And here they go; with a shot on Gryffindor goalie, Tara Weasley! She grabs the ball and performs an incredible kick; airborne it keeps flying, right through Celeste DeWitt’s outstretched arms!
That’s a goal for Gryffindor, done by their goalie, Tara Weasley. Truly an incredible goal, and Celeste DeWitt was an amazing keeper, going to extremes trying to stop that ball. Unfortunately for the Ravenclaws, their efforts didn’t pay off.
Gryffindors have the ball again, after a bad pass from the Ravenclaws. They’ve dribbled it down, and Alyssa Cardon, confident, shoots a top shelf and scores!
The Gryffindors are wild!
The Ravenclaws may need to pick up their pace!
Ravenclaws are becoming a bit more physical, Zoe Colpaert, Right Forward for the Gryffs, steals the ball away and is dodging people! She gets to the net, winds up a little, and shoots! Right in the bottom corner; a wonderful goal!
Ravenclaws pass the ball, and as they push to get to the net, the ball is out. Middle Forward, Alyssa Cardon from the Gryffindor team does an incredible throw-in to Manroop Bhamra, Midfield, who dribbles through the defense, dodges out Celeste DeWitt and shoots. And scores!
Here’s the Gryffindor team, high-fiving each other, and at the other end, Celeste giving a pep-talk. Those defense should really keep on their checks!
Now, let’s take a break from watching the game to announce our fun fact! Did you know, every time you lick a postal stamp, you consume 1/10 of a calorie.
Remember folks, the Slytherin and Hufflepuff football/soccer teams are still looking for players. Please contact Julianna Granger, the events organizer, for more information.
And looking back at the game; Fritz (Mariah) Barnes, Left Defense has ventured forward and has already scored two goals during the fun facts we were going over. That puts Gryffindor 6-0.
And my, this is getting shocking at Gryffindor’s strength! With some excellent passes, Zoe Colpaert has just scored a hat-trick, putting Gryffindor 9-0.
The whistle has been blown, marking half-time.
Currently, Gryffindor is upping Ravenclaw by nine. Hopefully the future is bright for them!
Tara Weasley, Alyssa Cardon, and Manroop Bhamra have each scored one goal. Fritz (Mariah) Barnes has scored two and Zoe Colpaert has scored four! Congratulations Gryffindors!
Alright, the teams are heading back out onto the field, the Ravenclaws looking very determined!
The whistle blows and the Ravenclaws dribble, here they go, an amazing pass back to Midfield Skye Lunar who boots it into the net!
Ravenclaw scores!
The Ravenclaws are getting more determined, and the Gryffindors are still sort of not in the play, who could blame them?
The Gryffindors pass and dribble around the excited Ravenclaws, then a pass back to Left Defender Fritz (Mariah) Barnes.
An incredible shot all the way from half. The shot goes in! That’s Fritz (Mariah) Barnes’ third goal today!
Ravenclaws are dribbling, dribbling, and slide tackle! The ball goes out.
Ravenclaws continue down the field, but it’s not to be! A bad kick between the forwards and the ball goes to the Gryffindors.
The forwards continue to pass; Alyssa Cardon, Middle Forward for the Gryffs takes a far-off shot, and at first, it looks like it’s going to miss the net! After rebounding off a Ravenclaw trying to stop it, the ball goes in the net!
The Ravenclaws are trying to go strong, but the ball is stolen away by Midfield Manroop Bhamra, who dodges Nessie Von Teese and shoots before Right Defense Jo Skarbek can get there.
A goal! Putting Gryffindor 12-1 to Ravenclaw!
The ball is off again, this time Ravenclaw going strong! Oh, Forwards are getting open by the net, Melimar Lec does an incredible cross to Athena Pond, who shoots and scores! Congratulations Ravenclaws!
Now the Gryffindors have just gone up the field and Oh! Amazing goal in top corner by Right Defense, Shelby Thiessen!
Only a minute left! The Ravenclaws dribble, as the Gryffindors approach them, pass back to Right Defender, Jo Skarbek! Jo dribbles up the field, passes the ball and receives it again! Five seconds! Jo makes an amazing shot and scores! The whistle blows!
Gryffindors have won the game 16-3! Even though the Gryffindors won that by a while, the Ravenclaws played extremely hard, and I definitely think that Jo Skarbek’s goal was the best in the whole game!
Now, before you go, please remember that all these people are amazing and awesome, because they let me use their names. They were all great soccer/football players, but after I calculated everything, the game had to go as planned, so that it would be fair!
Also, please note, any comments, good or bad, can be owled directly to Julianna Granger, events coordinator. Julianna would love to hear what you think! http://www.hogwartsishere.com/jgranger1375/
