Quidditch Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff - Fall 2024

Image posted by the member

How could this game still be going, Erlea wondered. It wasn't that she was bad at her job, or the others on her team. Just that that little golden ball eluded her teams seeker. She hoped and prayed to whatever maker that the snitch would somehow be found. But for now, dhe would focus on her job as keeper. That was her priority.

The Chasers had decided that, considering their ever-worsening position (and a lack of either Seeker or Beaters), it was best for them to do everything possible to score more goals. So Jess joined a Hawkshead formation. The three of them soared towards the Gryffindor posts, and Jess imagined that they were quite the intimidating group.

In the heat of the moment, they had scarcely noticed that Finnegan had already grabbed the Quaffle, although thankfully blocked by Atlas. Jess sighed, nausea pooling in her stomach. We really need to gain control here.

At that moment, Atlas herself sped towards the Gryffindor side, abandoning her post with Quaffle in hand. Please, please please! Jess begged silently, hoping with all her heart that this would be the start of their renewal.

Atlas scored miraculously, and Jess cheered - possibly a bit too much, as she sobered up enough to witness Finnegan score twice on the other side.

Her head dropped with sorrow. Jess felt powerless, entirely aware of being no match for a Chaser like Finnegan. What can I even do to help? Our fate seems pretty sealed.

Floating aimlessly above the pitch, Jess scoured her brain for an epiphany.

They had obtained points!

But, not enough.

Roxette with the rest of the Chasers given their grave situation decided the best way to go forth without Seekers and Beaters was to score and controlled the Quaffle as much as possible.

She joined into a Hawkshead formation. They figured that was the best route to take control and hopefully the lead enough before the Gryffindor team's Seeker got the Golden Snitch.

So far, it was good yet Gryffindor still was able to managed scoring points too. They needed to stop their ability to score and controlled the Quaffle as well as keep an eye in those Bludgers.

Roxette hoped and prayed their strategy works.

This was... just sad. Gryffindor had a commanding lead, but for some reason, Elsian
just couldn't catch the snitch. If this was how he was going to perform, Dan (Who, I hasten to add, the announcer absolutely was NOT.) would have little to worry about.
Finnegan, however...

"Fohkeen' 'ell! Finney's roight unstoppable, 'e is! Lad's runnin the Quaffle all on 'is own!"

Elsian catches the snitch!
We're free!!
The quest for the snitch that seemed to last a lifetime was still ongoing. However, finally, Elsian's fingers closed around the little golden ball that had been making a fool of him for over half an hour straight.

"Elsian has caught the Snitch! The match is over!!
Bloody finally, Jeysus..."

In the end, the result was: 16

Alyssea is hit!
1000-750 damage is 250! Alyssea is still on her broom! For what that's worth...

The bludgers were still coming from Gryffindor, for some reason. Perhaps they were tired of waiting eons for Elsian to catch the snitch, and wanted to end the game themselves by wiping out Hufflepuff completely.
Roxette managed to dodge her bludger, but Jess was not so lucky. Knocked off her broom and plummeting to the absolutely saturated mud below. Alyssea almost joined, but managed to hold on despite the bludger ricocheting into her.

"An' that's Jess gone! Probly gonna need a shower while she's in the hospital wing!"
Bludgers
Reducio
No one on the Huff n Puff team hit a bludger. The bludger is HIGHLY upset by this, and is targeting a Hufflepuff!
t!choose Alyssea | Roxette | Atlas

🤔 hollowcipher, I pick Roxette.
Alright.

[d20 : 16] + 5
In the end, the result was: 21

Vs roxette's evasion
[d20 : 12] + 6
In the end, the result was: 18

Roxette is hit!
125 damage - 75hp = -50 hp. Roxette is KOB!

Horrendously offended that Hufflepuff didn't hit one of them, a bludger decided to go rogue, and smash into Roxette. Likely picking her because she had dodged his brother earlier. Unlike Ethan, it managed to hit, and knock Roxette off her broom.

"Ooooh! Outed by a Rogue Bludger! Never seen THAT before!"
Blatches and Saves and Stuff
No one needed saving, and no one blatched.
Finally, the game had finished. Everyone could get out of this rain and get dried off. Maybe have some cocoa.

"Thank olla ya fer comin' out in dis weather! Have a wonderful-"
At that moment, banging was heard on the door, and the entirely unknown announcer escaped out a window, by turning into a falcon and flying off before anyone oculd breach the door.
Final Score

270 to 80

If she was honest with herself, Jess was exhausted. Looking around the pitch, she could barely make out specks of yellow among the sea of red - the four of them remaining were on their own.

As a last ditch effort, Jess went for the Quaffle, but was hardly surprised to watch it snatched up in front of her by the ever-faster Finnegan. Sighing, and with a sense of resignation Jess had never felt before, she tried grabbing the Quaffle three more times. Fortunately, Atlas was able to block two of Finnegan's attempts, and Alyssea even managed to score, which was enough to bring a meek smile back to Jess' face, before she flew further up into the air.

As Jess circled the pitch, she fell deep into thought. There must be something I can do... Any second now, their Seeker's going to find the Snitch, and then it'll all be over. If only I could...-

At that moment, Jess felt a sharp thump right into the small of her back, ripping the breath from her lungs. Her face scrunched up in agony as she lost grip of her broom, and fell from the air, helplessly watching the sky above her blur to nothing...
