"It's alright, Paige. All alright," he said, glad that she too was okay after that last maneuver. It was starting to feel pretty good up there in the air, and he could only imagine how much more awesome it would have been if he had been on a faster broom but no matter. He was enjoying himself and that's what mattered. Time to carry on.

In the darkness, he knew he had a bit of an advantage, since dhampirs eyes dilated more than his human companions, but soon he'd be coming out of the tunnel.

Be kind to one another. (*iNPC is Miles Thatcher)

The smell of gingerbread and….meat? no rotting meat. She gagged as she flew through the forest momentarily distracted by someone in a suit? What? Maybe just one of the event coordinators watching from below. Certainly, adults would be fine in the forest areas. There would be no time to linger as she dodged the forest and its thorns.

This was a sport of course so while she dodged the mosp she waved at the spectators from below while zipping along only to see Florian get scrambled up in the vines. They had discussed a strategy beforehand and she knew what she must do.

Mikael gritted his teeth together as he continued forth the maze. The wind whipped at his face leaving it cold and raw to the elements. It called loudly in his ear practically deafening him to any outside noise. Maybe that was why he hadn't heard the wasp until too late. The boy glanced to the side as he heard a buzzing. Before a sharp and sudden pain burst forth through his body. "Dammit." he snapped out through gritted teeth. As he quickly slapped a hand over where the bee had punctured through his skin.

Alexei was in his element. Durmstrung was superior and dominate as ever, and he was contributing to that. There was nobody who could say he was not. Perhaps a broom race would not show his family that he was just as great as his siblings or even greater, at least not on its own, but it was a start.

Long story short, I survived

A few notes for this moderation:
- during the rolls, I will refer to you as your PC's first name, not your iNPC. So if you are looking for a specific roll, search by your own first name.
- Autododge rolls are only attached to a name in the roll channel when they are a success. This being because I only remembered the successful ones after realizing I forgot to attach a name to each one. Therefor I continued to keep the failed ones nameless. If you are unsure I counted yours in, you can contact me in DMs, though I likely will have.
- Same goes for advantages, which is a thing I did at the very end to make sure I got them all. Still, if you are afraid I missed any, send out your concern and I'll check again.

The Map

Starting on Hogwarts grounds the students will rush over a grassy plain towards a cave that spits them out in the Forbidden forest where they will zig-zag between trees until they reach Hogsmeade. Once there they will perform a hairpin turn and return to the grounds again through the forbidden forest. There are 2 creatures also lingering about the track a Mosp and a Boggart.

The Narration

The air was electric with palpable scent of broomh- Yeah, no, that doesn't work Galton...

Anyways... Going on:

Hugh had found his way back to his broom. A remarkable touch for the no-longer-part-giant as he managed to hold off his rising anger towards the foreign student that brought forth his downfall. Without so much as a warning, Hugh was forced to crash himself out of the cave before he was able to get back in the race (literally). Simon would be behind him shortly, not letting both the falling rubble and his school-provided equipment hold him back. Kheanu was of the same mind, only, he was left with a young girl who suffered from a serious case of either infatuation or resentment towards him. As the Durmstrang racer flew off to continue the race, Paige would be on his heels.

It wasn't long before new racers popped into view along the edges of the forest. If Alexei and Romeo had any second to look behind them, they'd see their schoolmate Kheanu struggling to make speed. The girl chasing him was making it hard for him to fly in a straight line towards them. It was only after Paige missed one of Kheanu's quick-witted turns, the Hufflepuff would smack herself against a low-hanging branch. Feeling herself losing her balance, however, her self-destructive mind-on-a-mission brought her toppling down straight towards her Durmstrang target. Kheanu would once again find himself falling, this time ending it on a slightly softer landing zone however. Xailah on the other hand would notice one particular larger-than-usual housemate come crashing through the treeline. Yes, it seemed Hugh had forgone all safety measures and was simply choosing to be a "human" cannonball.

All the racers shifted between the hundreds of treetops, for a moment the air around them would fill a lasting silence. The only sounds would come off the passing trees as each member of the race stayed focused and observant. Only poor Simon would find himself falling behind on the other, much faster, brooms of the rest. Becoming a little more reckless in trying to keep up, the Hufflepuff tried cutting through some foliage to try and bridge the gap. Xailah was focusing more on the people still ahead of them. Nichlas had fallen in sight, yes, but her feline eyes were set on Nichlas' schoolmate, Mikael Halldorson. With a swift swipe of her wand, bright green sparks would break through the air and explode all around the distant figure.

The forest grew denser and it was getting harder for the many racers to safely cut through the terrain. Even Hugh's path of destruction did not leave enough room for the others to escape unscathed. Alexei, Xailah, as well as Romeo, all three would at some point fly straight into the trap of thorns. Only Nichlas was quick enough to come out without so much as a scratch. A trio of students was just up ahead, the race was still on.

Eights figures came buzzing through the trees, finding themselves in a more open area of the forest, until eventually, they reached a clearing. Ahead of a short plain, the lot of them would see the trees standing lower, the path seemed to draw them closer to the ground. Almost everyone would whizz past the french Sebastien, who seemed to be rebalancing himself mid-flight. Only Hugh, and Xailah would see their opponents slowly crawling ahead of them, into the darkness...

And in that darkness was a maze of vines, stretching out deep within the forest. The students were forced to scatter, each individually left to their own. Alexei would yell to himself as he narrowly missed a Hogwarts student, Willow, who was ensnared by the many vines around her. Romeo and Nichlas coincidentally found themselves flying next to one another shortly before Mikael, blinded and out of control, came crashing straight into the arms of the grasping plantlife. There would be many more students who failed to escape this woodland trap. There was that one American, Theodore as well as the French Florian who seemed to be casting spells at another despite his predicament. Jack Warren adeptly avoided the blinding sparks flung around his head, but inevitably was pushed into a corner before feeling himself plucked from the air. Only three students, all Durmstrang, managed to squeeze themselves through most of the vines. Nichlas would be the first to pass on to the next challenge, just up ahead.

These vines were a little more spread out, making it slightly easier to navigate for many of the racers. Whilst the French Angelique was practically out of the forest, Nichlas did not waste much time to bridge the gap between them. Serena decided to spice things up even more by casting her spell. Both she and Alexei would see the many vines rapidly growing denser, a lot denser...

Out of the forest, Angelique would see a waterfall closing in on her, dipping her head just to cover her eyes, she'd feel the cold water wash over. The warm winds would stick brush against her skin as the sound of a second splash would follow, but no one seemed to come too close. She left her Durmstrang opponent behind somewhere in the ever-growing distance. A mosp buzzed right over her head, missed its target by a stroke of luck. But Angelique had bigger fish to fry.

The Whomping Willow was a fearsome tree, slashing through the air with branches as thick as stone pillars and likely hit just as hard. Whether it was too busy with Miss Fields or just too slow to catch Angel, the French racer would almost without effort seal her escape from the solitary guardian.

For a time, Angelique would fly on her own, not a single of the other racers in her sight. Perhaps she had doubts on whether she had lost the track? Or maybe she felt confident enough that she was indeed, ahead of them. The barrage of wind pulled and pushed, snapping her hair around like a tight whip. Her fists clenched, her body bent over to both maintain her aerodynamics as well as her balance, the Beauxbatons student would see a growing figure through the slits that were her eyes. Though it wasn't a figure, rather a structure. Now, more obvious than before, the castle of Hogwarts came back into view. Jumping over the final hill, she would be able to spot the finish line. If Angelique would dare to take a final peek behind her, she would find no one there. As the clear winner of the day, she would cross the final line slow down into a crowd. Claxons and bells could be heard, sounding the alarm that someone had won arrived. The other racers, scattered across the track, would also hear the faint clamoring of the signal. They knew the race had been won, it was time to return and rest after a perilous journey.

Spells Cast
- Starlee cast green sparks at Jack
- Xailah cast green sparks at Percival
- Serena cast Herbivicus on some vines

The race has been won by Angélique de Clairmont.

Angel saw Sébastien (Stanley) in her flank and nodded to him, allowing him to come to her before linking arms. She held on tight to him and her broom as her classmate swung her around and around. Finally, letting her go launching her through the waterfall.

She held on tight as she was drenched by the waters, but they were no match for her strength, just as the famous whomping willow was no match for her speed. Angel deftly dodged around the branches that might have tried to get her but would ultimately fail. After that, it was home stretch beside winds and the mosp, which also seemed to have zero standing against her.

She broke through the finish line and carefully pulled her broom back to slow down before taking off her helmet. Tucking her helmet under the arm, she held her broom with Angel would fly by the spectator area and blow them all kisses. After taking a few small circles, she would finally descend and plant her feet on the ground waiting for the rest of her team to join her.
