| xx | 𝔄s the game kicked back into play, the dwindling number of players only seemed to compound the impact of the contributions of each of those remaining. This was, perhaps, most notable in those who remained benched below. Beneath the dying cacophony of the game taking place above, the voices that still waited for their turn in the sky carried a weight that simply couldn't be ignored. Animosity rang prevalently from both sides, boos resounding all around the stadium as Rosaline, Taliesin, Mamori and Louca all forsook their more positive vibes in order to shame and jeer their opponents. Jake and the newly airborne Nicholas would feel the impacts of these protests most keenly, the noise unfortunately managing to get under both of their skins to impact their performance. |

| xx | 𝔉or all the clammoring down below, however, Evelynn maintained her attention on those actively in the air—a feat that was growing increasingly easier as fewer players remained. One thing that did immediately catch her eye, however, was the way that Kiyoshi seemed to take far too much interest in the newly airborne Nicholas. Any time a chaser closed in on an opposing player, trouble was rarely far behind. And due to the sheer size of the kid, it was hard to miss, particularly when those elbows raised to clobber the senior beater. "Penalty lap, Sato," Evelynn's volume-enhanced voice announced, "for cobbing." |

| xx | 𝔄t least the quaffle game would see some competition again. Evidently satisfied only after having taken out half their opponents, the second team finally directed one of their chasers to center pitch to contest the throws. Poor Livia, then, would find herself up against the more senior Landon. While she put up a fair fight and demonstrate decent maneuvering of her broom and a good comprehension of what needed to be done, she simply couldn't quite make up for the difference in their respective experience. Landon snatched the quaffle from Livia's waiting grasp four of the five following tosses, not missing a beat as he raced to the unguarded hoops at the end of the pitch. Once again, a series of loud BONGs would echo across the stands. Team Two wouldn't quite be able to tie up the game, however. In a narrow victory, Livia did manage to get the upper hand on one toss, wasting no time as she raced to sink it through Team Two's hoops. Nevertheless, Landon had accomplished what needed to be done. The lead had nearly been closed. |

| xx | ℜare it was for a game to have progressed for this long without at least one of the seekers breaking out into a chase. Yet, even now, with so much on the line and the quaffle points growing more narrow by the minute, neither seeker seemed particularly interested in searching for the snitch. Or if they were, they certainly fooled Evelynn. |

| xx | 𝔒nly two beaters remained on the field, one to each team, and each fresh from the bench. The difference between the two could not be any more glaring, however. Nicholas may not have been as seasoned a Quidditch player or beater as he might otherwise have been, but as a sixth year student with a bulk of muscles that even Evelynn could aesthetically appreciate (and did), none could question the threat he posed. Fire, on the other hand, boasted an out-of-season broom and couldn't even yet claim to teenagehood. Certainly, it was possible that puberty might bless him with potential as yet untapped, but... that day had not yet come. His team would just have to hope that what he lacked in brawn and experience, he more than made up with sheer character of will, and a heavy dash of luck. There was no questioning that the next few minutes would be absolutely critical for the game's direction. Nor did it come as any surprise when Nicholas, riding the wave of momentum propelled by Sara's earlier successes, took on an offensive posture. Perhaps it was because Kiyoshi happened to be opportunistically nearby, or perhaps it was vengeance for the elbowing he had received, but the backhanded swing with which Nicholas connected with the first bludger he could come across was sent whizzing in the direction of the part-giant. It wasn't a great connection, but the bludger seemed willing enough to course-correct. Kiyoshi didn't stand a chance. Whether distracted for having been called out to do a penalty lap, sluggish in his attempt to avoid the bludger, or simply completely unaware that he was being targeted, the bludger struck true. It was only because the young kōhai (junior) could boast an unnatural strength and constitution courtesy of his less-than-human parentage that he was able to somewhat shrug off a blow that could easily have sent most of his classmates tumbling from the sky. Fire, meanwhile, whether out of hesitation or strategic decision-making, elected to avoid attempting to strike a bludger towards a foe at all. Instead, he stuck close to Jake, ready to jump in to protect him at a moment's notice. Unfortunately, this meant that the remaining bludger in the air went unchecked, its pseudo-sentience allowing it to dart to and fro of its own accord to strike at whatever target appealed to it most. That target would prove to be the innocent Livia. But she would handle that unexpected bludger with a grace that hinted at future flying excellence, outmaneuvering the bullish iron ball as easily as she wittingly spoke circles around Silas in the Headliner office. |

| xx | ℑnstead of hunting for the snitch, both team's seekers seemed intent on hunting for players. Ginyami certainly seemed the more blood-thirsty of the two. Spared the fate of a penalty lap only minutes before when his would-be quarry happened to take an early tumble before he could get to her, he didn't miss his chance to try to take out the opposing seeker. The only problem was that Jake happened to be protected. As the Japanese student flew for the Hufflepuff, Fire sped to intercept. There was nothing he'd be able to do to deflect or absorb the blow. But he could—and certainly did—take one for the team. The two collided with a notable CRUNCH that was nigh-on impossible to miss. Evelynn's head spun to the sound, catching the immediate aftermath of the collision. It wasn't hard to put two and two together. "Arresto Momentum!" The spill slung quickly from her lips, priority on the safety of the players. Yet as soon as she had ascertained that Fire's descent had slowed sufficiently that he would land safely, she continued in the same breath, "Midorimori, Penalty Lap!" Only Jake could know for certain what he was thinking in that moment with the decision to try to blatch Nicholas. Perhaps he thought the referee sufficiently distracted that she wouldn't notice; maybe his mind had been made beforehand and hadn't even realized he'd been targeted or that Fire had saved his hide; or perhaps he simply didn't care and the risk was worth the gamble. Regardless the rationale, Evelynn was on high alert, fully anticipating that someone might try to take advantage while her attention was turned. And seemingly, something came over Jake as well, an awful sort of presence putting pressure on his performance to such a degree that Nicholas didn't have to evade to avoid being knocked. Unfortunately for Jake, the attempt—as much as he might want to have avoided the embarrassment—was seen. "A penalty lap for you as well, Morris. Perhaps you ought to stick to trying to find the snitch." |

| xx | 𝔚hile the carnage had slowed after the fall of the main-string beaters, the sky wouldn't be entirely devoid of players falling. Fire had sacrificed himself such that Jake might continue for a little while longer, but there would be nobody around to save him. Still fully conscious, Fire would get the full stomach-lurching freefall experience, at least until his fall had been magically slowed, gradually decelerating until he landed safely on the grass bed of the stadium. Meanwhile, Silas had been delegated to save duty, but would find his time spent entirely as a spectator as none of his teammates fell from their brooms. Damien and Aziza (who had replaced Maisie when she had expressed a need to take an early leave from the game), however, would make good use of their brief reprieve to bring the latter back to her broom. |

| xx | 𝔄t this point, it was likely that the game would be over very quickly. With only three airborne players for Team One, two of whom were now obligated to complete their respective penalty laps, against Team Two's six active players, nothing short of a miracle could turn the tide. Still, Evelynn had seen less likely odds turn out in the underdog's favour in the past. So long as there remained a fighting spirit, there existed an opportunity, and so she returned the quaffle to center for the next throw and kept her eyes peeled for other opportunists. |

Damien was still flying with Aziza as he knew he needed to get her to her broom soon, suddenly his eyes widen when he noticed his team was able to score 40 points which meant they were 20 points behind the other team but that wasn’t even the best part, he noticed there last remaining beater Fire Davis had went down off his broom which meant the other team didn’t have any more beaters. As he watched Fire fall before slowly being put onto the ground so he wouldn’t hurt himself he couldn’t help but let out a small smile as he realized he was close to winning the bet the two of them had made way before the game had started. He slowly continued to make his way towards the broom, he figured that Aziza seemed a little nervous so he tried to calm her nerves down as best as he could. “Hey, Aziza..there no need to be nervous as I know you’ll do great! So keep your head up I believe in you and so does the rest of the team!” Damien knew what is was like to be nervous in a quidditch match as that how he was in his first unofficial quidditch match, so he figured some words of encouragement would help her feel a bit better while also giving her a little confidence boost. Once he got closer enough to her broom he started to help her get back onto the broom as he smiled at her softly. “Just remember you got this Aziza! I believe in you!” Once he said that he made sure she was secure on her broom before he flew off so he could go back to helping there team score more points as he trusted Aziza could stop them from scoring. |

Even as her allies dropped like flies around her, Livia's intent focus remained on the Quaffle at hand. However, the fickle will of Fortuna did not lie on her side; the scales of justice tipped irrevocably towards the other team. When they sent forth a young man to contest the Quaffle, Livia did not baulk. It was no secret, though, that the precocious young Slytherin was outmatched. Despite her most strenuous efforts, the Quaffle only landed soundly in her hands once; calmly, she brought it to the empty, waiting goals and scored, but the sole moment of victory could only last for so long. She watched numbly as Landon once again dashed her team's chances at a proper lead.
Once the dust had settled, a quiet sense of tranquility settled over Livia's bony frame. She began to take inventory. However, her calculations had been incorrect: a bludger, seemingly of its own accord, had locked its target onto her. Bludgers, though, the inanimate objects that they were, lacked the human finesse to move with a mobile target. A quick adjustment of her broom, a steady lean forward, and she nimbly shifted out of the way. Only after ascertaining that the bludger did not desire a second dance did she once again level her gaze at the rest of her companions – or, rather, those who remained.
A less ambitious tactician would surely refer to this as a sound defeat. In the skies, though, retreating was not an option. Their only option was to fight til the last one of them remained in the air, if only to have a whiff of the tantalising aroma of victory. Nine remained aloft, one-third of those Livia's compatriots. Some less adroit individuals might have called it a massacre, but that was an idea with which Livia could not concur. The odds were horrible, but not impossible.

This was exhilarating. While Landon preferred the Keeper position, he was definitely enjoying himself as a Chaser in this match. He got to fly fast and feel useful, which was so exciting. Not that being a Keeper was something that made him feel useless, but he was mainly on the bench for official matches, so he was pleased to be up in the air, part of the action. Landon loved being in the air. Besides when he was reading his history books, Landon felt most at home when he was flying.
Sometimes he debated looking into a Quidditch career instead of a History Professor career, but he had time to figure things out still. He was only a fourth year after all. Landon didn't want to pressure himself too much to have things all figured out.
He managed to get the Quaffle from Livia four out of five times and even managed to score each of those times. The other team had left the goal posts unprotected, so Landon was able to score easily. Landon couldn't help but let out a whoop of excitement at the fact that he had been successful after he finished his four goals. He wasn't trying to get cocky though, and he refocused on the match at hand quickly. He was just excited.
Landon prepared for his next task excitedly, pleased to have been an important part of the team.

Things were going so well that Mamori nearly shouted in triumph, only stopping himself because it might've looked incredibly embarrassing if luck turned sour right after. Sure, Maisie had voluntarily bowed out due to injury, but Damien had managed to get that firstie back on their broom, dividing the two-headed dragon into two functional units instead of one mess, meanwhile Landon was having the time of his life scoring as a chaser, each goal whispering to Mamori that maybe the keeper position was burying bro's actual talent. Every time @Landon Matthews zipped through his peripheral vision, Mamori threw him a quick cheer and mentally filed away a note to suggest the Puff captains let him chase the quaffle more often in actual matchs.
Realizing the biggest threat on the field right now was that baby-faced seventh-year (if his questionable memory served him right) Puff prefect @Jake Morris, Mamori shaped both hands around his mouth like a loudhailer and fired off whatever trash talk his brain could produce on short notice: "Oi! Friendly reminder that you're after the tiny golden thing with wings, not your arthritis medication! Or are those geriatric eyes failing you? The retirement home's that way, old geezer!" The fact that said seeker immediately proceeded to fail at what appeared to be a blatching attempt and earned himself a penalty lap was either divine repaying all those offerings Mamori'd tossed into the lake last year (giant squid ate most of them, sadly) or pure coincidence, but pink-haired badger couldnt help but wear a grin so satisfied it almost felt illegal.xx ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Nicholas looked toward the opposing bench, at the jeers and boos that came his way, and flashed them a cocky smile. Just wait, he mused to himself, just you fucking wait… But as his glance was turned toward the jeers, he had failed to take into account his opponents. One of the Japanese lads, burly, but still shorter than Nicholas attempted to cob him. Deftly, the Sixth year avoided the foul attempt, eyes narrowing as he did so. Not offended at the blatant display of cheating, but at himself for failing to see it coming. The game was the game, underhanded plays were apart of it all. He would not hold the younger student in contempt for his actions, but he would carry them forward in the game.
He eyed the bench, then with his free hand, pointed out Taliesin.
“What I do next, that’s on you,” He flashed a toothy grin, then knelt forward, pushing his broom to accelerate.
Everything that happened next seemed to happen in a blur, Nicholas allowing himself to play passenger to his instincts. Back on a broom, the air brushing at his hair, the sound of his teammates shouting around him. It felt right. And when a bludger came his way, he pounced. He darted forward, eyes casting over the opposing team, before he let loose with a vicious backhand. His connection was poor, owing to a lack of practice, but it connected all the same. The bludger collided into the boy with a vicious thunk, and yet, he stayed his course.
Impressed, Nicholas leaned back onto his broom. Maybe he truly was rusty.
The thought didn’t last long, because Jake Norris came hurtling toward him, a haphazard attempt a blatch easily avoided then called by the referee. That was two of the opposing team that had attempted to foul him now.
Nicholas furrowed his brow, “Oi! Try it again, Morris!”

It seemed like things were happening fast and furious in the air, and while Louca wished he was in the middle of it, he would do his best to instead raise the morale of those playing. That seemed like an easy ask and something to keep him entertained while he was waiting to see if he would play. He was especially excited when they managed to score. Closing the gap would certainly help, though hopefully the snitch would come into play soon. That always amped things up.
He had no clue what else he could do, especially as while he had done quite well to study his own role, he didn't know all of the intricacies of anything else. He didn't want to be one of those backseat quidditch players, so he was keeping his support to mostly general things rather than actually trying to give direction. He was no captain, and he was fine with that. He'd leave the coaching to them. Louca continued to move around, occasionally pausing to boo a player on the opposing side. Sitting on the sidelines almost seemed more stressful as you couldn't influence anything up above other than hopefully giving boosts of confidence to your team and discouraging the other team. But perhaps that was a necessary lesson for Louca, one of patience.

Aziza glanced out across the pitch, nerves running through her as she watched the action around her. She was actually doing this, actually playing quidditch. This was not something she had ever expected herself to be doing to be honest, sports never being a big part of her life, yet somehow, here she was.
The girl needed to convince herself that she was going to be okay though, convince herself that she was going to help her team win even if this was something she was not used to. Aziza was going to focus and pay attention to what she was supposed to, not get distracted by everything else happening on the field.
Aziza ran through a few strategies in her head as she watched carefully, remembering what she was going to need to do in order to help her team as best as possible. She could feel a shiver make its way through her as she thought about everything she could do wrong, but she knew she needed to not fail her team. It was not like she did not enjoy this, but it was just not her usual. Maybe she would join her house quidditch team if she ended up enjoying this, the thought had briefly run through her head but she was not certain that was ever going to happen.

Taliesin replied to her with a gentle smile. Rosaline really appreciated the girl’s calm and composed temperament. She, on the other hand, was quite nervous at the moment. Grabbing her broom closer to her, then the young Gryffindor said, “I do think that will be your standout quality. Like me, I’m still so nervous after I’ve played several real matches.” She chuckled, a bit relieved after expressing her thoughts.
While their small talk continued, the game progressed as well. One of their teammates fell to the ground. Rosaline winced and clutched her broom tighter, hoping the boy would be alright, but in this situation, he was likely not alright at all.
We needed a miracle, she thought, and crossed her fingers again.

Last 'Ditch Effort
Jake didn't even really know WHY he had attempted to charge at Nick McCowan. So much was happening at once, people were falling out of the air from bludgers, from charging players, from everything. The opposing team's seeker and Fire had just collided in the air right next to Jake. It was a war zone! He would blame temporary insanity. Something just came over him, he panicked, and he charged at the first thing that moved.
But it didn't matter really. He was as successful at charging people as he was at finding the snitch (that is to say, not very), and he sailed past Nick McCowan, possibly because he felt the intimidation of the watchful eyes of everyone, possibly just because he was bad at flying.
The only thing worse than attempting to cheat at the game, was attempting to cheat at the game, failing horribly, AND getting caught anyway. But that seemed about right for Jake.
As Jake took the lap of shame, he partially wondered if he should try to argue that could it really count as charging when he had so badly missed the mark? But really he deserved it. What kind of prefect tried to knock someone off their broom?? So instead, he tackled his penalty lap with the appropriate amount of penance. He did see the look on @Mamori Anezaki's face as he took the punishment. The younger boy had been heckling Jake, though it was the first time Jake had ever been called geriatric. After the things that people used to say to him, it was almost a refreshing change. But his ears did burn at the grin on Mamori's face as he sailed along the pitch. Jake lowered his head and kept flying. He wanted this over as soon as possible to get back in the game and put this momentary lapse of sanity and decorum behind him.
"Sorry about that!" he called out in vain as he did pass Nick.
