To Bludger or to be Bludgered? pv group

And things quickly took a turn for the worse. Seeing that the other team seemed to decide on targeting Elisa, Harumi wasn't taking it, at this rate the girl isn't going to last another round! Prat was there strongest beater so Harumi started booing him in hopes that would affect him in anyway, Artie seemed to have the same thought as well.

----And then there was that guy who went ahead and gave Denise a bad day by scoring 6 times and they're now tied at 60 points with other team, how did that happen! Also Denise seemed to hurt herself during handling one of the goals, ouch! Poor her. Even Zephyr seemed to manage to hurt himself again while trying to get the quaffle, him and Denise seem to still be holding up though, thankfully!

----Looking at the seekers, there seemed to be no news of the snitch, which was concerning, because at this rate all of her team is going to be injured by the time all of this ends. Speaking of injuries, Prat and Graci both attacked Elisa again, Harumi's boos did barely anything apparently, and now the girl is falling off her broom with no one to save her, how painful is that!

----Which also means Laasya is up! She and Cash seemed to have been strategizing, so hopefully that was useful, and hopefully the girl would be on her two feet at the end of this match, hopefully everyone will be, but after Harumi saw how this is going, that's probably wishful thinking.

Again, I had to fly around in a circle. It was a bit boring now, but I had to do as we’d strategized. And, one of my team had scored goals - we now had 60 points, equal to the other team. I clapped, hoping they could hear me, before suddenly pressing myself down on my broom. One of the other team, a first year, no less, had hit a bludger towards me. I closed my eyes, hoping it wouldn’t be as painful as it looked like it would be. But then, after a few moments trying to protect myself, I looked up. Surely it should’ve hit me by now. I saw then, one of my team was holding a bat, having just intercepted the bludger that would’ve hit me. I saw it flying towards a member of the other team and… knocked her off her broom!
I turned to the girl who had saved me, and said, quietly as normal “Thank you so much!”
But, she had already flown off. I sighed. Hopefully in the next part of this, we could draw ahead with points. And, although I felt bad for thinking it, hopefully the beaters on my team would be able to knock some more people off their brooms. Or, at least, hopefully none of us would get hurt.

Riley’s cheers soon turned to boos. At least no teams had spotted the Snitch yet. Riley for one, couldn’t possibly be a seeker. I mean, looking for a small object, in the middle of a game!? But she respected those with the patience and determination to be able to fill the role. Riley focus snapped back into the game as Damien Dragonclaw scored 60 points. She cheered. But her cheers soon stopped as the news was announced that Harlan Montgomery seemed to have hurt himself. Riley looked around, and spotted Ari Gwild on the bench. Perhaps she should try and start a conversation? Maybe. Ari had black hair and had an intricate style. He also had blue eyes like Riley. The only thing making Riley hesitate was that he was so much older than her. He looked 16 at least, and was a fifth year. Even on the bench he seemed to tower over Riley, as she was small for her age. She smiled though, and spoke softly and quickly. ”Were doing alright. I suppose they haven’t shared a whole bunch of strategy with us, but it looks like it’s working. I almost feel like I’m in the game here on the bench though.” She smiled at him.”Way better than spectating, right?”

Despite the pain from the hit he received, he searched for the quaffle and when he was given an opportunity to hold it, he knew that this was not the same as watching from the sidelines or carefully positioning and waiting for the perfect moment. The pressure built up fast relentlessly. The ball slipped just out of reach and each near miss, something in his chest bubble up to the surface. But he ignored that feeling and pushed forward, his fingers stretching while timing his approach but Damien was faster. A blur of motion cut between them as Damien surged ahead to control the Quaffle away with less effort. He twisted sharply midair to follow, but his ribs screamed in protest as pain was felt through his side again. That hit made him move slower.

Julia did her part too and for a while there, it looked like she might have a chance but Damien’s control was solid and absolute. He broke through and score a goal. Denise tried to stop it but missed. That's another goal. “Darn...” He pulled up just as he saw Denise prepared near the hoops again. The girl must have been rattled but she was still holding her ground. They all still have decisiveness, they just need the timing. An opening came, Julia got there first and fought hard for the possession. There was a brief messy tussle in the air before she secured the quaffle and without wasting a second she passed it to him.

He really thought he would get the chance to get it as he moved instinctively, hands ready and eyes locked onto the quaffle only for Damien to intercept it again. The pass vanished before it reached him, his fingers closed on nothing but air. Frustration flashed across his face, even their formation couldn't stand a chance. He forced himself to move forward again, ignoring the doubt bubbling up to the surface as another attempt was made, another fight for the quaffle, another failure to secure it.

His grip faltered as he reached again, the motion hit his already injured side then a sharp hiss tore from his throat as he felt the pain. It's not as devastating as the bludger from before, but it was enough to shake him. His body tensed just as his balance wavered for a split second but he refused to fall. Somewhere to his right, Max was already engaging the opposing beaters again, his bat cracking against bludgers in rapid succession. It only sharpened his awareness, every movement, every threat, every opportunity. Still breathing unevenly, he pulled himself higher and tried to stabilise once more. His eyes quickly scanned the pitch. Despite the pain and the growing intensity of the match, he's not done yet.

As her previous booing strategy failed, Astal changed her approach and starting supporting her teammates, particularly Elena who was the closest to her on the moment. It seemed that her fellow second string teammate had the same idea because Valour also started cheering Elena on. It was the best idea as Elena was the seeker, if she found the golden snitch they would be able to automatically win ! It be great, the first game that Astal participated in would be a win. However nothing was determined until the end, the game could still flip over to the opposing team.

The game was very tight, both the Golden Phoenixes and Thunderbolts played very well and few actions were unsuccessful. Particularly, one of the opposing beaters got hit a few times by a bludger, from where Astal was seated it seemed like a girl.

Astal returned back to cheering her team as loudly as she could to motivate them.

- Go team ! You can do it ! You’re the best Elena !

She momentarily looked toward the opponent that she had previously booed and saw to her utter disbelief the player being a dirty cheater as he had left his teammates for a personal vendetta towards one of her teammates, a beater. Astal quickly looked towards the revert to see if by chance he had caught the foul, but sadly it didn’t seem like it as the game continued on. She was a bit disappointed but didn’t let herself think to much about it and returned to looking at the ongoing game.
