Chaos at Hogwart's Quiditch Match

The first match of the Hogwart's Quiditch season of Gryffindor vs. Slytherin was proceeding as normal in a tight game when chaos slowly settled onto the match. With the score tied at 80 – 80, the two bludgers in use suddenly started targeting specific members of both Quiditch teams. The targeted included Gregory Goyle Jr and Vincent Crabbe (Slyther Beaters), Draco Malfoy (Slytherin Seeker) and Ronald Weasley (Gryffindor Keeper).

Neither side could defend these players from the repeated attacks and the players were only targeted until they had been de-broomed from a fairly great height and fell to the pitch at which point the bludgers repeatedly pummeled the fallen players until they were rendered unconscious with multiple fractures.

Teachers and staff were unable to render assistance during these attacks by the bludgers as they were also under attack by a great number of mail owls sweeping in and clawing their way through the crowd.

First to fall from their broom was Gryffindor Keeper Ronald Weasley, who once he had fallen, a great white owl swooped in, clawed the boy's face and then proceeded to fly off with the boy's Firebolt broom in to the Forbidden Forrest. The owl then returned, empty clawed, to subsequently attack and claw the face of one Ginevra Weasley. Once done, the owl then managed to return to the Quiditch Pitch and captured the Golden Snitch. In an act of defiance, the owl then flew to the teacher's and staff's tower and proudly displayed their catch. This was quickly cut short as Potions Professor and Head of House Slytherin Severus Snape cast a Maxima Bombarda causing the owl to burst into a mass of bloody feathers to the pitch below.

The owl was later identified as belonging to former student The Boy Who Is Unforgiveable.

Headmaster Dumbledore later informed the school that the possessed bludgers were the work of a house elf that was exceptionally loyal to The Boy and has been dealt with by Caretaker Filch.
