Bam! Bam! Bam! Manu's stick swished skillfully over the ice, thieving the small black puck from her opponents a quintet of times and scoring each one. They had no one guarding the net - it seemed almost unfair, an easy goal after an easy goal. Manu, at her core, despised bullies, and she couldn't help but feel like one here as she watched the Misfits' number go up again and again; she was also competitive at heart, though, and liked the idea of being in the lead, especially after having been down by one before all this.
Worse, though, the other team was down to just one poor player now. With two off in the infirmary area (having been high sticked by the tall, handsome one off Manu's own team) and Manu's own yurtmate (@Ebony Vetra) having been caught trying to slam someone into the boards, it was only down to the other one of Manu's yurtmates, @Cassandra Ironwoods, versus... a full team of four. Manu's heart wrenched for them. Yes, truly, if this victory were to be taken, it would not feel like a hard-fought battle. And the girl from Castelobruxo did like the feeling of having earned something, having worked through difficulty for it. She had not been handed much in her life, and the sensation was foreign and altogether unpleasant.
Still, she could not give up. Manu turned back to the game, stealing glances at her teammates and awaiting their instruction. Strategy was not her thing, not here, anyway, but she sure could follow direction...

The Misfits vs. The Scaly Wings
| —— |  you better run, got the wand, already won. the parasite under your skin, the predator hiding within. ━━ summary, this thread is happening on FEBRUARY 17TH, 2026, in the EVENING with THE HOCKEY PLAYERS. / wc: 225. There it was again, the shock of fear that continued to freeze him in his tracks and from the same, weird Ravenclaws too. Who the hell was this Ebony girl and how did she keep throwing him off? Luckily for Harlan and his recent focus on agility and grace, the teenager was able to land on his skates without too much notice of him literally trying to foul her. It only came against him when the very girl that spooked him came rushing towards him with every intent to knock him the hell out. More reflexes, Harlan quickly shifted out of the way for the girl to clearly be called to the penalty box. " Maybe you'll get me next time. " Sticking his tongue out at her playfully and a thick sense of condescension, the Gryffindor had to rub it in just a little bit. Besides, Harlan would have to continue facing her in Quidditch Matches — what an absolute menace. Now, it was four of them versus a lone solider. If they couldn't secure their victory now, what was even the point of them being on the ice? Stick down and with his eyes on the goal, Harlan was ready to give it his all and see if he could maybe help out a bit more instead of being carried by all of these incredibly athletes.

@Manu Macedo
Upon having gained a slight edge in points but lost a player in the first few puck exchanges, the other team decided to abandon the defense of their goal entirely in favour of more offense - their goalie going for the puck, and that dark-haired girl going for one of Raphael's team mates. It seemed a questionable strategy in Raphael's eyes, but then, he usually contributed more brawn than brain and had barely any hockey experience, so who knew? Maybe there was some hidden genius in it. If so, it was very deeply hidden, however, considering it very much did not work in their favour.
As Raphael watched the game unfold, the Brazilian girl on his team snatched the puck not once but five times, scoring into the undefended goal with honed precision each time; the goalie in his heavy gear not agile enough to hinder her in any way. Impressed, Raphael gave the girl an appreciative look. From the looks of it, she was the best player among them.
The match seemed pretty much decided at that point; Raphael's support as a defender barely needed - what was there to defend against? Attack dog was perhaps more apt. It was hardly his fault, though, if they presented him with such an easy opportunity to remove their goalie from the field, he thought, pushing himself forward with his hockey stick raised once more. Quick and brutal, another player was down, and Raphael cringed slightly. He preferred the Muggle version of the sport.

| ___ | It seemed that playing chaser, or center — meaning taking over puck grabbing — was not really @Ari Gwild’s thing. Perhaps being a broom racer meant he wasn’t accustomed to such an action; perhaps being clad in the thick goalie gear slowed him down; perhaps Ebony’s yurtmate @Manu Macedo was just too quick with the hockey stick. Either way, each puck drop ended with the same result of the puck landing in the possession of the curly-haired girl. The winger could only watch as goal after goal sailed flawlessly into the open net. 6-2 was not a pleasant point difference to look at. The girl was so busy gawking at all the puck business that she almost missed @Harlan Montgomery’s pathetic attempt at elbowing her. Now that he was in the vicinity, Ebony recognised him as a Gryffindor Quidditch player. They had in fact been pitted against each other not long ago, when the eagles played against the lions. Glancing indignantly at the referees as they let him off for his foul attempt, the Ravenclaw decided to launch a foul against the boy herself. An eye for an eye, right? She barrelled towards him, eyes narrowed with the intent to knock the boy onto the ice for the next minute or two (she had violent tendencies) — only for Harlan to skate away smoothly, evading. To make matters worse, the whistle was blown and she was called to the penalty box. Ah, what a load of codswallop! If they could let the Gryffindor off, couldn’t she be let off as well? As she made her way towards the box — smoother, now, as she had grown somewhat accustomed to the feeling of skates on her two feet — she scowled and returned the sticking out of the tongue in response to the Gryffindor’s comment. Some playful banter between opponents was, after all, part of what made sport sport. In all the commotion, Ebony had almost missed the way Ari was high-sticked by the opposing defender, carried off the ice to join the Beauxbâtons boy. @Cassandra Ironwoods was now the lone sportsperson standing on the ice. Great going. |

The Misfits vs. The Scaly Wings
Will maie this pretty later
The last rond strategy bit the Scaly Wings’ behind. To he honest, there was always something wrong when the three remaining players of the Scaly Wings.
From utterly disastrous to a castrotophic something else that Cash couldn’t explained. It feels like being Quidditch players for years Cash learn nothing.
It was a terrible idea to go all in and left their goal unguarded. Just ask Macedo that easily not just once but five of them.
Cash gritted their jawa when the puck sail over and over again to the empty net. Not only that, both Gwild and Vetra was out the game too. The later got high sticking from the same offender and get awag with it whil Vetra was got caught when doing the foul, leaving Cash as the last sportperson standing on the ice rink.
“Seriously?”They complained when Cash saw Gwild being carried out from the ice and Vetra need to go to the penalty box.,
Cash’s green eyes scanned the other team.
Four against one. How Cash supposed to win this without their teammate? Only good fate could help them and at least by miracle, make the score between the two team wasn’t that big of a gap.
But Cash has little faith since from the get-go luck wasn’t on the Scaly Wings’ favor. Not one bit and not at all. Joder! Fuck! What a luck, indeed!

Carnage. How else could one describe the events unfolding before the goalie’s eyes? Of course, and rather unfortunately, he was wholly uninvolved. All he could do was watch from his designated position by a lonely net as the roughshod team he’d thrown together laid waste to their hapless opponents.
Their first mistake had been leaving their own net entirely unguarded, as what had previously been the Wall of Gwild abandoned his position in an effort to battle for the puck himself. Perhaps it was the bulky attire of a goalie that damaged his dexterity, or perhaps it simply couldn’t be denied that Manu, as it turned out, was an animal on skates. It wasn’t often that the term ‘running circles around one’s opponent’ applied quite so literally, but there was little else to describe the way she bobbed, weaved, and simply outclassed the opposing team en route to scoring five goals on an unattended net.
Marshal’s voice lifted in a cheer at the first three, yet by the final two goals the elation was replaced with an incredulous grin and a shake of his head. The expression would then morph into another wince of sympathy as the wrecking ball that was Raphael connected with his next target, that being Ari’s unfortunate face. Again the game was blown dead for the referees to cart another limp body from the ice, and when their whistle sounded once more, the Scaly Wings suddenly found themselves at half strength.
When Ebony was caught committing a foul and sent to the penalty box, the sixth year couldn’t help uttering a quiet ”Wow.” As the game drew near its conclusion, it truly wasn’t much of a match at all. He gazed at Cassandra — the lone remaining member of the Scaly Wings — with something resembling pity; yet even still, an underlying sense of triumph could scarcely be hidden. Cassandra had talked a bit of trash earlier in the game, and his competitive streak burned with relish. Not that he’d personally been instrumental in the slaughter that was taking place, but he had put the team together from nothing, and had been involved in the strategy of who would play where. He had done his job, and would continue to do so until the match came to an end.

It's Aveline with the foul this time, deciding that he feels bad for having taken out two members of the opposing team and going in for a hug on Ironwoods. At least, that's what the refs think - what he really did was an illegal holding penalty, but it just looked like a nice big bear hug. How sweet! Not sweet for Ironwoods, though, who would find their accuracy and evasion reduced for the rest of the round.Debuff Fouls
Having had quite enough of scoring, Macedo decided to feint in and out of the face-off circles to distract Ironwoods, and it worked! (The lone player from the Scaly Wings must have been feeling very teamed-up-on right now.) Ironwoods only tried to grab the puck two out of five times, and both times was beaten by Montgomery, who scooped up the puck in a quintet of successions and shot it right into the Scaly Wings' empty goal. If there was ever such a thing as a mercy kill in hockey, this would be it.The Puck
In the end, the Misfits would take the gold medal - but, against all odds, the Scaly Wings would take silver! Of all the other (dNPC) teams playing in the 4-7 heats, only one other team managed to score (a dNPC team from other schools), and they only got one goal in. Congrats to both of these teams on their podium finishes!
Outcome
Raphael holds Cash and his foulplay procs to evade a penalty
Manu Wronski Feints successfully, tricking Cash for grabs 2, 3, and 5
Harlan grabs the puck and scores 5x for the Misfits
Ebony watches forlornly from the penalty box
Final Score
(gold) Misfits 11 vs 2 Scaly Wings (silver)
