First Annual Alumni Broom Race pv: alumni sports club

Galton had never broom raced before. He had hardly rode a broom more than required for class really. He'd watched Hugh do it, but it hadn't seemed nearly as fun as dueling. It seemed so... chaotic. And not in the controlled way of a duel. Here there would be things beyond that of a set of opponents. It would be a lot harder to plot and predict. It would, however, be fun to try out some new spells.

As he made his way onto the track he couldn't help but laugh at the sight it must have been. While he wasn't a small guy, he wasn't Hugh. Borrowing his friend's broom must have looked like a kid wearing his dads formal robe to court. The thought would bring a smile to his face as he pulled in along side his teammates.

While many were familiar, and maybe even friendly, there was one in particular he was most excited to be racing besides. Bridget. He had spent his whole dueling career on the other side of the piste from her (mostly being abused), now it was finally time they joined forces. Galton the Glorious would clasp hands with Bridget the Bold as they took the racing pitch by storm.

And if Bridget the Bold and Galton the Glorious were not enough to immediately strike fear into the other teams hearts, then the other four teammates surely would. Ami the Able, Cyrus the Courageous, Koko the Keen, and Xailah the X-treme would hit them like a flipendo.

Before preparing to launch Galton had one question for his opponents. "In dueling we often wagered that the first team to lose a player buys the butter beers, you all game?" Whatever their reply, he was ready to leave them all in the dust.

Bridget hadn't been graduated very long, but it was good to be back. They might not be at Hogwarts but they were at the London Quidditch Stadium, summer camp for the students gearing up around them, and the faces were familiar. Seeing everyone was what she really missed, not that she was likely to put voice to that. It turned out that she could feel fairly sentimental in the wake of so much change. She was especially happy to see Ruby, it was weird being on a duelling team without her. Of course, it was just as weird being on a team that wasn't the Viridian Vipers and living in a flat in Cork rather than her dorm at Hogwarts or with her parents in London.

Today was broom racing, a sport Bridget had never tried, but she was pretty sure she wasn't the only one. Everyone here was talented in spells, in flight, or both, so she expected nothing less than steep competition on a dangerous course, a friendly reminder of what Hogwarts had been like currently staring at them in the form of a transplanted whomping willow, just something nice to greet them with at the start. She hadn't flown competitively in years, but at least this sport allowed her wand, which anyone could guess she was much more comfortable around.

Her flatmates had been split in the team-making, Koko on her side and Howard on the other. Ruby was on the opposing team as well, but she did have Galton, Ami, Xailah, and another boy only vaguely recognized. She was most excited to be with Galton and Koko. Galton was a talented duellist she'd only had the chance to cast beside the one time they fought off adult wizards together in Knockturn Alley, fun and sweet and just as ready to bet on butterbeers here as on the duelling piste. As for Koko, they hadn't been teammates since Bridget played Quidditch years ago, but she was starting to feel like as familiar a presence as her duelling teammates had after years of training together. From what she knew, Xailah had been a skilled racer for her Hogwarts team and Ami had gone on to professional Quidditch, so she trusted both of them on a broom. "Good luck," she wished whoever was close enough to hear it. It was a sunny day, pleasantly warm under the August sky, and nearly time to race.

*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*

It had only been a month since graduation, but Ruby was returning to the location of a Hogwarts-run summer camp for an alumni event. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been at the London Quidditch Stadium—several years ago, at the earliest. She reckoned it had been for her last international duel before Hogwarts had stopped taking part in the interschool competitions. After that, she hadn’t had much of a need to go. Few of her friends ever seemed to attend the summer camps; the eager younger years made up the majority of the participants. She hadn’t been particularly interested after her first few years of going—she had had other things she would rather do. But while she wouldn’t have been allowed to attend this year’s summer camp even if she had been certain that she wanted to, the idea of another sports game with the possibility of being joined by some of her former classmates hadn’t sounded bad.

Ruby had never actually participated in a broom race herself. She had played Quidditch plenty—unofficially and officially—and she adored everything about duelling. Meanwhile, she was only really vaguely familiar with broom racing because of Xailah, who she had previously watched race. The possible team dynamics within the sport seemed kind of interesting.

In Quidditch, it was imperative that the team functioned well together—many moves relied on cooperation and acting in synchronisation with one another. The sport could not exist properly without multiple members of a team. By contrast, a one versus one battle was an entirely complete form of duelling, and teammates were an optional addition. The best teams were those that supported each other, working together, but individual skill and actions were really most important.

Broom racing seemed closer to duelling alongside teammates—there were actions that required the help of another person, and yet an individual could also essentially act alone and still manage to take all the glory. Furthermore, this little alumni race had teams that were randomly formed, so the players did not practise together as was often the case with regular Hogwarts team sports.

While, to her knowledge, none of the participants had previously been on a racing team together, there were plenty of familiar faces here for Ruby—both pleasant and unpleasant ones, although thankfully she had a positive or at least neutral relationship with the majority of them. Most of those were on the other team—everyone from Procoppio, who Ruby still only wanted to hex, to Xailah, who had been one of her dearest friends.

A cold glare was directed Procoppio’s way, which the redhead would see if she happened to chance a glance in Ruby’s direction. It soon melted away, though, as Ruby turned to face Xailah, who had addressed her. “Xailah!” She smiled. “It’s great to see you, and thank you! I hope you’ve been doing well.” It was spoken genuinely and warmly—not just passive small talk—and she hoped that they might get a chance to chat a little after the game. “Go easy on me, will you?” she joked. It wasn’t something that she actually wanted at all, really, and Xailah would likely know that, too.

Ruby paused to wave at the others that she knew on the opposing team—Koko, Bridget, and Galton. It hadn’t been long since she had seen any of them, though, given that they were in the same year. It would be strange to not be on the same team as Bridget, since Ruby had grown so used to duelling beside her. They had been a strong team alongside Astrea and had functioned as quite a seamless unit. She would miss it.

She lined up at the starting point, ready as she could be. This was just for fun, so it didn’t matter too much that she was quite unfamiliar with the sport, but her competitive nature meant that she still most certainly wanted to win and would try her best to.

Instantly, at the start of the race, three of the racers shoot high above the track. Ruckus wonders if this is a strategy to avoid the obstacles, since some of the players are newbies when it comes to racing. The three racers may find that the time it takes to reach altitude will be time wasted racing ahead. The same team had another idea, however, as he sees Miss Riddle careening past the starting line, thrown by a brawny Miss Procoppio as she rises in the air.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ruckus thought he saw something like a tussle happen between Miss Towers and Mr. Darsel, but now that the latter is securely high above the rest, it seems no damage was done. Ruckus's colleague, Professor Sauber, pulls a broom out from underneath Miss Collins. "Nasty move from the otherwise respectable potions professor," Ruckus adds with a chuckle.

One player makes the mistake of stopping near the Whomping Willow. "Miss Cazares may have forgotten just how wrathful our old willow is." Luckily, Miss Cazares has her wits about her and avoids the a thwumping branch. Ahead, Miss Towers, Mr. White, and Miss Riddle are racing for the early lead. Each takes a small bruise here or there, but otherwise they fly excellently. Especially Miss Riddle, who handles her broom with ease despite the extra momentum she gained through the alley-oop. "Miss Riddle takes the lead!"

"Better than well." Xailah nodded to @Ruby Cazares. Her attention broke away from the younger woman as she spoke, sneaking to the spectator stands towards the stand-out dark fleck that was her spouse. "Will you be staying long after the game's conclusion? I would like to catch up with you, if you have the time to spare." Her gaze returned to the brunette lady, settling on her features with a fondness few were given. The selective warmth in Ruby's voice gave her hope for a proper reunion with the snake. Between rapid changes in her life, and rising tension betwixt in-laws, she hadn't the moment to acknowledge the sore Ruby's absence left on her spirit. Oh, how Xailah had missed her.

"Mercy has no place in this sport, miss Cazares; however, I suppose I could be swayed to maim you gently." She reasoned playfully. "But be warned, my team may not be so easily convinced." If old school rivalries held any weight here, Xailah had a hunch at least one member from her team would be itching to put Ruby on the ground. It was safe to say Ruby's dirty look toward Ami Procoppio had gone unnoticed.

How easily the metamorph slipped from friendly reverence, to calculating strategist and resolute assailant. She didn't know many on her team very well, but their agreement on a rather heinous strategy revealed enough about them as a collective. A more brutish approach should have been no surprise, considering the group consisted of some of Quidditch and dueling's best former players. Machinations were quickly deployed, each one more roguish than the last- a title the boy Cyrus easily claimed. Xailah's spell would miss her target, but sometimes a plan called for a good distraction, rather than an immediate reaction.

When the race started, it was tunnel vision for Koko. She forgot about the other team, something that was impossible to do in Quidditch or duelling, and zeroed in on her team. She still didn't know Galton or Xailah or Cyrus too well, although she'd seen the first two in passing plenty of times. Ami and Bridget, however, she'd seen and learned enough of to innately trust them to perform at their best, and she'd heard only good things about Galton and Xailah. So barring some horrible mishap from this Cyrus individual, they were in good hands.

Good hands indeed, in a literal sense, for Koko, who cast a quick, appreciative glance back at Ami before being sent forward. She tightened her grip on her beloved Oakshaft and narrowed her eyes, doing her best to focus on the obstacles in front of her as she hurtled ahead, any potential concerns about the hatching of their plan forgotten..

Such an endeavour was simple enough at first, although by the time the track narrowed, the speed at which she was flying made her broom quite a bit difficult to control. It wasn't long before she flew into the wall of a passageway; however, she grit her teeth and kept going, which turned out to have been a decent decision. She didn't think she'd ever flown so quickly, and the feeling was exhilarating, even if the speed at which the course was going past her almost made her nauseous.

Koko could have sworn she had seen Serena or Howard alongside her, but by the time she blinked and she was able to see after the fog, they had been left further behind. She shook off the bewilderment and continued to fly forward, making it through another passageway despite the sudden surprise of being so far ahead.

Unlike duelling with its low numbers and controlled placements, broom racing had enough people and far enough to go to create quite the recipe for chaos. Getting caught up in all of that would be easy, focus pulled in a dozen different directions, and she didn't have the instinct built from experience to react as well as she did in duelling. But they had a plan. As soon as the signal for the start of the race came, she locked eyes and wand on Ami, the stunningly tall redhead easy to spot. Ami was a professional Quidditch player, had the muscles of an athlete and clear familiarity around a broom, but there were advantages to soaring above the track's obstacles even for her. Better visibility, fewer obstacles to stop or slow her. Bridget incanted, "Alarte Ascendare," with practiced ease. As Ami launched Koko forward at slightly terrifying speeds--hopefully Koko was ready for the course to rush at her that fast, though if anyone could do it, it would be Slytherin's former star Keeper--Bridget launched Ami above the willow's tree line and away from Ruby's spell.

She perhaps should have been more concerned about spells targeting herself. Between casting her spell and urging her broom forward, an invisible force disrupted her grip. Her attempts to fight it were too little, too late, leaving her with only the brief feeling of weightlessness. Then the falling. Bridget had not fallen off a broom in a long time, but she remembered the principles of rolling with it, and this wasn't so high, anyway, just enough to knock the wind out of her and probably leave some bruises. It was more annoying than anything, watching the other team speed off while she was still right at the start, but she was guessing this was pretty standard for a broom race. Might as well be reminded to be vigilant for attacks coming from any direction early.

“Wh-” She did not know what she had expected from the other team but perhaps, she had been foolish in hoping for a nice fair, friendly game. Before she could react, a boy she could not even name had grabbed her and forced her to drink something. As she gulped it down without any choice, she found the potion quickly taking effect and her jaw immediately shut tight. She tried to scream but it ended up so muffled as she could not open it.

Serena rolled her eyes. Apparently, there was a dirty little cheater on the team but no one would know as he managed to get away with it. She had no choice but to fly ahead, hoping to get away from the weird guy whose name she should probably try and remember. They had definitely spoken at least once, right? Probably. But she was far too pissed off to try and recall who he was or what school he had even gone to because it was not Hogwarts. She would have remembered that.

Unfortunately, she also saw Arjan attempt to throw something and she tried to stop him by screaming only to realise she could not. Well then... He was choosing violence, it would seem. That seemed fitting for such a person. Wait- did he pick the target knowingly? No, no. There was no way he would have noticed the other boy cheating - nor would he cared. Of course he wouldn't care. Why was she even thinking he would!

Serena shook off the thoughts and just opted to fly away from the crowd, hoping to get away. She wanted to curse as the obstacles hit her but she could not. Okay, this was less fun than she had anticipated it would be. But it would be over pretty soon, and then she would go punch that idiot in the face and see if he liked it. And get her broom back from Arjan. This broom sucked. She had not used the Silver Arrow since her quidditch days and it just seemed so... slow, compared to what she was now used to. Her Starsweeper held a special place in her heart, she could not believe the jerk had snatched it out of her hand before she could even stop him.

Arjan had fashioned together a fine projectile. It was sturdy, wonderful and well, pretty great in his not so humble opinion. He had even aimed it perfectly, right towards some random guy. But the guy suddenly ejected into the air! He grumbled a little as he dodged past a random spell himself. How dare someone dodge his amazing shot? It was perfect! This game was obviously rigged!

He tried to glance over his shoulder to work out where the spell that he had dodged had even come from but he could not. He was far too absorbed in himself. He had slowed down quite a bit to do this, busy fashioning it together with some sticks and rocks that he had managed to find and now he was lagging behind. It had all gone in vain as the other person had just flown up! Who flies UP instead of FORWARD in a race?!

He squinted, he could barely see the people up ahead. They had flown off! And half the other team seemed to be up in the clouds, far higher than they needed to be! How silly!

Wait, he was incredibly talented with his wand... Why didn't he use it too? He could even hit two targets at once! Ha! How many people could do that? Probably none of them! Ah yes, The Arjan Oberoi was great. He flew past some weird looking tree that had some weird looking branches before spotting his sister up ahead. How the heck did she get in front of him?

Okay, that was it. The next projectile was going to her. He just needed to fashion up another one and hit her. Wait, they were on the same team... A frown appeared on his beautiful face for a brief moment as he pondered. Would it hurt more if his team caused him to lose or if his sister was the reason the team won? That was the real question. Surely, if either of them were going to stand a chance of winning, it was him. The Great Arjan Oberoi.

Then again, he was literally using her broom. Maybe he ought to try and talk this out with her. Not that she deserved his mercy, she had not apologised or anything for everything that she had inflicted on him! Their family had started to harass him with their nonsense, because she was not around to act as her buffer. It was exhausting, really. His mother constantly wanted to do something or another. Normally, Arjan would just divert the conversation to Serena or watch her draw the attention and leave her to it. However, since she had left... their mother's full attention was directly on him. So, really, it was her fault that he had to deal with all of this nonsense, right? But Arjan was merciful. He was kind, merciful and pretty great. Perhaps he could forgive her for her failures without an apology and be the bigger person, yes. Maybe he should talk to her. After the race, that is.

Or, perhaps he ought to just throw a projectile at her now and not have to deal with her if she is hospitalised for the rest of the day. That seemed easier, to be honest.

Arjan sighed, maybe he should just take out the idiot who dodged his attack! Yes, that was perfect! That would show him!
