Inside the locker room it had all been relaxing while talking about strategy. They had become a bit too relaxed, or at least Shanley had. Now reality was setting in and she truly was getting scared that they would lose again. She had to catch the snitch just so they could have at least one win under their belt. She still wanted them to have a chance at the cup though, and so if she could, catching the snitch had to be at the opportune moment.

Even though there was better visibility, however, things were still difficult and it really started weighing down on the players as they started to bicker. Not just Hufflepuff Shay noticed, though that bickering was at the front of her mind. "You can barely make a shot as it is....it's ten times harder for me!"

Sure she deserved to be yelled at for not getting the snitch, but quaffles and the goals were bigger and easier to see in the fog than the tiny snitch was. Shay tried to stay out of the way as best she could, though, just as Sioni had told her. They didn't need her taken out next....they wouldn't have a prayer if that were the case.
