Why is it everytime Slytherin up againsts Hufflepuff it always end up in a bloodbath? A massacre. The scene that Cash watching in horror right now, reminded them of one of the matches some years ago when the former Hufflepuff's Quidditch Captain part-Giant (Quinn Healy) still roaming on the school ground.

Once by one the Cloud Cobra lost its fangs and venom as players dropped from the sky left and right like flies. The Slytherin had lost both beaters (Percival and Oliver). Even the benched Beater was a lost cause. The trio Chasers (Cecilia, Milica, and Rafal) were also out from the match too. The only Chaser left was the Rookie (Jada).

The tenured player hope the Rookie will put out her best effort. The green eyes watch the game in annoyance. In the pitch, the players that left for the green and silver team are Charlotte, Jada, and Violeta. Cash had the urged to grab their Varápidos and launched themselves to the pitch. But as long as the other Keeper was still in play, Cash only could watch the scene from the sideline.

And to put salt onto the wound, Slytherin down to 30 points from Hufflepuff. Cash only hope, this utterly disastrous tidal of castrotophy would turn to a better one, somehow.

After her aggressive play to start off the game, Atlas remained focused on making an impact. While she naturally hated any points being scored on her posts, she also knew that sometimes it was to their advantage that she abandoned them. As long as she made sure the risky move would pay off, Atlas was willing to use her versatility to the advantage of her team.

Atlas shifted her weight on her broom and lowered herself to increase speed. She wanted to keep the Quaffle contested and in play. Luckily her experience and speed more than paid off. Getting the quaffle was easy enough and she knew how keepers thought and reacted. One after another Atlas was able to mount her offence against Slytherin. Even if the other team was able to sneak a score passed her, Atlas quickly racked up fifty in response. With each successful score that raced out of the reach of the keeper, Atlas let out a gleeful cheer and returned to the ready. The more that she could keep them occupied and on the defensive, the more they would be forced to deal with her and perhaps that would allow Daphne the opening she needed now that the snitch had been spotted.

Position: First String Keeper

Stats:
Stamina: 15
Evasion: 18
Strength: 4
Wisdom: 10

Arc. Power: 7+3= 10
Accuracy: 21+3= 24

Abilities:
Fearless
Fear effects such as a dhampir's aura, the ability terrible presence, a lycanothrope's intimidation or certain charms, potions and jinxes that would normally cause a fear effect do not work on you as you are immune to them.

Keepers Catch
10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is in the goal area. If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may as a free action hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice (it would be recovered with a quaffle grab action) and treated like a bludger or pass the quaffle to a team mate. This must be declared by the Keeper if either of these free actions are to be utilized.

Evasive Maneuvers
Harder to hit on average, 10% on auto-dodge chance that anything that targets this wizard automatically misses. This is rolled separately from the attack roll.

Broom: Varapidos (+3 to all stats) (Enganação. This literally means "cheat" and is a basically the art of sleight of hand for Brazilian Quiddich players. When a Quiddich player attempts to use the "cheat" action where they attempt to cast a spell while in a game, they succeed once per game automatically. Must declare alongside cheat action. All subsequent attempts to cheat have a 10% automatic "not noticed by the spectators" effect.)

There it was! The snitch! Now all Daphne had to do was grab it and end the game, but unfortunately it seemed the other team’s seeker also found it.. Her eyes narrowed in annoyance as she thought over a plan before tightening her grip on her broom and speeding after the small ball.

Reducio

Position: First String Seeker
Stats without Broom: STA - 6 | EVA - 10 | STR - 3 | WIS - 10 | ARC - 8 | ACC - 11
Stats with Broom: STA - 9 | EVA - 13 | STR - 6 | WIS - 13 | 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

Her uniform would rustle as her fingers twitched, her breath was steady, calm like the wind that ran through the tall vine-covered stone.

The echo of a pebble skittering through the fog, ricocheting onto something hidden through the blur.

Another path? Another fall.

But Nabi would not be the one falling this time, standing up as though to escape the waters that dragged her down, her breath would hitch as she watched. Venturing closer to the hand that reached, she took a step forward, the river of chants drowning her voice.

The name she should have said with bitterness.

Afterall...

"Aamon..." deserved it, right?

“BOOO!” Callum shouted from the bench, cupping his hands around his mouth as the jeers poured out of him. He was fully invested now—booing the Slyths at every fumble and roaring his approval whenever the Puffs gained ground. Hufflepuff was up by thirty points, and with most of the Slytherin team already knocked off their brooms and scrambling to recover, it was shaping up to be another golden victory. Still, Callum quickly tapped his knuckles against the wooden bench beneath him. No sense tempting fate. Even a Puff knew better than to jinx a lead like that.

Chips in hand and mildly invested in comparison to members of his immediate family, Aamon offered a polite, strategically neutral clap. He was watching the game, just not the plays. He was allowing himself the luxury of admiring some of the prettier players on the opposing team - purely from an athletic appreciative standpoint of course. Nothing incriminating. No proof there was any other intention but sportsmanship from the boy.

So yes, generic cheer. Generic clap. His team did a good thing, right? The crunch of another crisp between his teeth kept his mouth busy. Yes, this was the version of Aamon Athanatos that should have graced the pitch today, but the universe had other plans.

The second string beater was being called to the pitch. Aamon felt like decorative nobility being pressed into military service, he was not even sure if his uniform was real and not some ceremonial facsimile. yet despite this, Aamon was excited. He liked flying. He liked the way the wind pushed against him, the sensation was the closest thing to a hug Aamon knew. The Slytherin liked the way the world shrank beneath him until politics, prophecy and family expectations looked small. There was an escapist element to all of this, and he would err believing the fantasy for but a moment.

Then, the fear arrived as it should have. His palms were slick with sweat as he mounted his broom. He adjusted his grip as if wood responded better to feigned confidence. His jaw tightened as he glanced towards the beaters, their bats crashing against bludgers that ricocheted off flesh like a brutal pinball machine. He would be fine he lied to himself. He had practiced, he tried to self-soothe. He was not incompetent, even if he was frequently treated as if he was...

Up.

The broom jerked skyward, and for a moment his stomach dropped somewhere around his boots but he also felt it - exhilaration. for a moment he allowed the illusion to take hold - that thought that maybe, just maybe, he could know freedom.

Sadly, he did not get to keep it. He did not even hear the crack of the bat or the rebound because he was never the intended target, just collateral damage. Impact. The bludger struck his side with brutal intimacy. Not a glancing blow. Not a warning. It hit like it meant to rearrange him.

Breath vanished from Aamon's lungs. His fingers spasmed around the broom handle. The polished wood slid traitorously against his grip. He tried to correct, tried to steady, but pain shot up his ribs like lightning splitting a tree.

He was slipping.

His other hand clawed desperately for purchase. For control. For dignity.

The broom dipped.

The sky tilted.

For a stupid, irrational half-second he wondered if this was the part where instinct kicked in. Where adrenaline would sprout wings from his back. Where he would recover beautifully, spin upright, and pretend it had all been intentional.

He did not sprout wings. he never recovered. The wood slipped with finality from his grip and he fell. Nobody came to save him. His arms flailed, not gracefully or heroically, just reflexively. The earth rushed towards him with patient certainty. The ground found him before he had a chance to scream.

Health and Post Tracker

Jada winced as a Bludger came flying towards her and knocked her off her broom. It seemed like luck really wasn’t in their favour today. All of the Slytherin Beaters and Chasers had been hit hard enough to be out of play. Now all that remained was their Keeper and Seeker. Though it was still possible for them to win if they caught the snitch, it would be highly unlikely. She sighed, she hadn’t really gotten to do much but, hey at least she was one of the last to be knocked off…
