Gryffindor's Chasers

Chasers already know that Madam Pomfrey is calling their condition "Sleep deprivation" [PS! She is not happy at all], but they don't really care, bc game is still on and they need to give everything they have and score some more goals. So they have Quaffle on hands and they are going toward Hufflepuff hoops to score. Yes, exactly they are ready to score :)
