Gryffindor Vs Hufflepuff Fall 2025

Dang it! Daphne couldn’t find the snitch not to mention she heard booing which made an annoyed look instantly form on her face. She looked around and her eyes laid on one of the chasers: Derek. She straightened on her broom before proceeding to fly straight towards him at full speed, not showing any signs of turning.

Position: First String Seeker
Stats without Broom: STA - 6 | EVA - 10 | STR - 3 | WIS - 9 | ARC - 8 | ACC - 11
Stats with Broom: STA - 9 | EVA - 13 | STR - 6 | WIS - 12 | ARC - 11 | ACC - 14
Abilities: Alluring: A Part-Veela is incredibly beautiful, the magic creates an "entranced" effect, wherein those that would be an attraction where they lose sight of their surroundings and focus more than necessary on the Part-Veela's movements or appearance. Viewers are also prone to experiencing thoughts of a strong desire to impress or be with the Part-Veela in question, some are strongly attracted romantically.

Prodigal DADA Learner: Able to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts 1 year ahead of their actual school year. You may only choose a spell taught in DADA classes. At end game they learn 1 restricted spell. This can also serve as an alternative means to learning spells besides earning them through DADA class.

Scream: The scream can be disorienting (-1 accuracy and -1 evasion), requiring a full action to perform but does not require a wand. This can stack indefinitely and persist until the end of the encounter. This scream can target a single user or it can target up to five users (as an AOE attack). Alternatively, this spell can be used to temporarily deafen an opponent. So rather than cause the player to become disoriented, they would become deafened (unable to hear) for the next 5 rounds.

Broom: Silver Arrow

Pam’s fingers drummed against her knee, a restless rhythm that matched the whirring in her chest. The match was still going, every shout and whistle slicing clean through the November chill. The scent of damp grass and adrenaline hung in the air, thick enough to taste.

Quite honestly, this was a whole lot of fun. Even if she wasn’t the one flying.

From her spot on the benches, she watched the blur of her teammates streak across the sky, her eyes tracking every pass, every near miss. The wind carried the sharp snap of the quaffle against gloves, the hiss of a bludger veering a little too close. She winced as one of the Gryffindor chasers—she couldn’t tell who, not from this distance—lost balance and went spinning off their broom. Their captain wasn’t far behind. Well, that’s not good at all.

Still, her team held strong. Camilla, quick and unshakable, darted past the confusion and scored again, the crowd exploding around them. Forty points in, and Pam felt a strange mix of pride and envy bloom in her chest. I wonder if I’ll ever be that good someday…

She tugged at her gloves, feeling the worn leather stretch beneath her fingers. Second string meant watching more than playing—waiting for someone to get sick, or injured, or simply too tired to keep going. It meant clapping for the ones who actually took to the air, keeping her nerves in check while pretending she wasn’t itching to grab her broom and join them.

Maybe she wasn’t on the pitch today, but she was part of it all the same. And when her turn came, she swore she’d be ready.

“Well, that was quick,” Callum muttered under his breath as the Hufflepuff chaser effortlessly scored four times on the unguarded Gryffindor hoops. Early on, Hufflepuff was proving to be a fierce scoring team, and Callum could only hope they’d keep the momentum going—maybe even secure their first win of the new school year. But the excitement was short-lived. A bludger struck one of Hufflepuff’s Beaters, sending Avery plummeting toward the ground as her broom shattered into splinters.

A moment later, another benched Hufflepuff player slid closer to Callum and whispered, “Bro, we need a strategy.”

“I know,” Callum sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Got anything so far?” Strategizing wasn’t exactly his strong suit—especially with how chaotic the match had been so far.

“A-HA!” Ethan lets out a victorious cry as he manages to hit Avery with the bludger. The impact of the blow causes the broom to break into hundreds of pieces. He can't help but yell, “YES!” grinning at the sight. Unfortunately, the ricochet from his bludger ends up just barely missing Atlas. “UGH! SO CLOSE!”

DEBUFF FOULS

Prat flew in the center of the pitch with the confidence and authority radiating of someone who'd done this far too many times to be impressed by much anymore, however, that unlikely, he hadn't done this before at all.

The instant the whistle blew, Harlan practically launched himself into the air and immediately weaponized his elbows against Daphne— Daphne, the gorgeous older Hufflepuff whose only crime in this game was being dazzling on a broom. The audacity, the disrespect. If Harlan hadn't played it off as normal mid-air contact, Prat would've declared him public enemy #1 for his crimes against Ms Pretty face.

SECOND STRING

On the sidelines, Oogie was, predictable, elbows deep in snacks as if the game was background noise to her feeding habits. Pamela and Landon were hyping Gabriele so aggressively it could almost be considered a performance piece, while Callum watched everything with an unnerving calm as if the boy was taking notes for later use. Rosaline and Frederick booed Daphne for reasons Prat could never comprehend, pretty people deserved admiration and not such persecution.

CHASERS

Releasing the quaffles and balls into air, Prat barely had a second to breathe before Eugenia took off like hufflepuffs had launched her from a cannon. Four clean shots from her before a perfect swish straight through the hoop without even touching the rim. Twenty Points. Prat couldn't help the grin forming on his mouth. His year of students were certainly impressive; impressively dangerous.

BEATERS

What stole the show however, were the Bludgers. Sage sent one barreling towards Kora, who was saved by Ethan's interception only for him to aim it towards Mamori who guardian angel turned out to be Gabriele who slammed it right back into Ethan's chest. Ethan was rocked with no time to dodge as Prat winced in sympathy. Chaos, beautiful chaos. Then Pax, sharing a broom with Kora like an unhinged duo, fired a bludger at Gabriele and nearly sent the poor boy dropping like a stone before he managed to keep hold of his broom and stay afloat.

BLATCHES

It was as if this turned the puffs rabid.

Camilla, Atlas, Daphne, the three hydra of Hufflepuff each descended simultaneously on a gryffindor prey of their choice. Atlas hit her mark, Daphne missed by a literal whisper and while Camilla succeeded, her victim was saved by a last-second save from Derek like a dramatic guardian angel descending from the gates of heaven.

This was peak cinema.

The match seemed to be growing more and more tense for the Gryffindor team. Everything unfolded so quickly before Frederick’s eyes that he barely had time to process it. He only managed a quick wave toward Avery as he saw her shoot back onto the field, taking the Seeker position in Aodhan’s place. While he had been hit and the team captain was sharing a broom with the Keeper, more blows continued to fall on Frederick’s team.

Responding to Rosaline now, without taking his eyes off the game, and watching it standing up out of pure nerves, he agreed with his friend’s last comment. “It’ll be fun to watch the next match with you and Leo,” he paused and turned his torso to look at Rosaline, “that is, if I survive this amount of nerves.” He laughed at his own exaggeration, trying to make a joke to ease the tension. Turning back to the match, Fred once again shouted toward the Hufflepuff players, more specifically in the direction of their Seeker. “Boo, you’re not gonna find the Snitch! The Snitch is ours!”

What happened next felt like just a fraction of a second later, typical of how fast Quidditch moved. Frederick watched the yellow team score several consecutive goals on the undefended hoops. He sat back down on the bench and briefly lowered his head into his hands, elbows resting on his knees. He wished he could do something to help his team; watching the Quaffle fly through Gryffindor’s hoops, especially considering he played Keeper, even if only as a second-string one, hurt more than anything else.

Lifting his head, Frederick focused again on following the match. He watched the Bludgers attempt to strike his teammates and quietly pumped his fist when the opposite happened, when the Hufflepuffs were the ones hit instead. The discreet celebration didn’t last long, though, since none of the opposing players were knocked off their brooms, while Harlan fell after some extremely dirty plays by the Hufflepuff team. Looking toward Rosaline, Frederick pulled himself together and gave her a confident smile. “It’s your turn now. Good luck!”

On the Gryffindor reserves’ bench, only Frederick and a blonde girl remained, and Fred made an effort to recall the name he’d learned during practice. He gave a brief nod in Oonagh’s direction without saying anything, then turned his eyes back to the match, trying to take in every play unfolding in the skies above the Quidditch pitch. The opposing team had older, more experienced players, and that was really getting in the way of Gryffindor’s plans.

Sharing a broom with Kora, Pax carefully directed them as they lined up their shot, thankfully hitting the target cleanly, but with not enough force to take them down. Scowling slightly, they looked out to see a bludger being exchanged back and forth between their two teams, and more people falling from their broom. Sighing, they gripped tighter to the broom, preparing for even more chaos.

Today's game packed enough excitement to impress even those who didn't support Hufflepuff. Anyone who dared argue otherwise clearly knew nothing about Quidditch and Mamori would personally ensure they received an extensive enlightenment about proper game appreciation after the match, preferably with visual demonstrations. On one end of the pitch, Eugenia pulled off a 60-point round that sent the Badgers rocketing ahead on the scoreboard. Last year's scoring champion Lavinia Cloven beat them into oblivion on that same scoreboard, but could she manage 60 points in a single round? Mamori had his doubts. On the other end, Atlas, Camilla, and Daphne were orchestrating a synchronized blatch assault on multiple targets when Daphne's attempt failed by what the pink-haired badger swore to Merlin was merely a millimeter's distance between sweet success and that Gryffindor brat's infuriating dodge. Absolute tragedy, considering if that hit had connected, both the brat and Gryff's final seeker would have gone down together, essentially handing them the match on a silver platter. Absorbed in spectating from center field and failing entirely at his save duty, Mamori barely noticed the bludger heading for his face. A beater bat appeared between his face and the ball at the last second, finishing off what turned out to be a rather extended bludger pingpong rally. The owner of said life-saving bat was none other than that trust fund baby who had gotten hold of a Silver Arrow right after he joined the team. But saving Mamori from a broken nose did definitely warrant upgrading the kid's mental label to "privileged guardian angel". The heroic intervention, however, left the wealthy savior open for the orange-haired Beater's brutal bludger strike. The blow looked pretty bad, and for once genuine guilt showed on Mamori's face as he talked to his defender @Gabriele Ricci-Armani "Thanks man. I owe you one. Name it and I'll make it happen if it's within my capabilities."

Oonagh, or so was apparent, could make a gold medalist, competitive eater, green with envy if given the chance. As she was sitting on the bench, lounging on it really, with her legs drawn up and the muddy boots resting heavy on the wooden structure, without as much a structured thought tumbling through the vast emptiness of her brain. Her sticky hands kept disappearing in bags of gummy bears, skittles or cookies before dunking them into a jar of marshmallow fluff, that she balanced - very sanitary - between the soles of her boots to keep it in place, while keeping her hands free. Originally the thought had been to prevent a mess, but now strings of white marshmallow fluff coated the black leather of her boots, giving an impression of spiderwebs in a way or silly string. Her hands weren't spared either and neither was her face's lower half; she could feel the stickiness of the marshmallow condiment whenever she opened her mouth a little too far, to stuff it with more candy than should be reasonably. If she was being honest, then she would also have to admit that her hair was not entirely spared either, but she did not want to think of that right now, because it would certainly be a pain having to free it of sugary tackiness or having to brush through it to tame her curls.

Her gaze drifted to the boy who was sharing the bench with her, though she was occupying plenty more space of it than he did, what with her array of snacks being spread across the bench within reach of either her hands. He nodded at her, and she nodded back, returning the greeting before waving her hands at the snacks she had brought for the game. "Ye want aen bite?" she offered gracefully, while chewing on bits of marshmallow covered gummy bears.
