Gryffindor Beater Lexi spots Carmen on the far side of the pitch. Speeding over to knock her off her broom by reading Mice, Marriage and Murder (202 pages) for Carmen's A Negotiated Marriage.
Quick point of clarification:When a Beater is matching a word to the Chaser's book, the match needs to be exact as we are allowing you to match a word rather than read the actual book. In either a defense or attack, both Beaters need to match the original Chaser's book.
Thanks!

I'm just spying from other match ;)
I saw your post when you scored and for some reason skipped over 'score' part thinking that you announced attack.
Then you announced new attack, so I thought you forgot to post about finishing previous one.
Figured out my mistake, so there is that ignore me part. :)
I'm still automatically checking match against Ravens. Maybe by the time match is over, I'll actually start clicking right match thread ☺
