Damien just let out a little chuckle with the way he could see Artie reacting to his little tease, Damien didn’t know what it was but he found it funny how he could just mess with him while up in the air. His happiness only increases more as he managed to score ten more points, there was just one issue with him scoring. Harlan managed to score double the points Damien just scored. He let out a frustrated groan as he continued to fly around the pitch, he couldn’t believe how good Harlan was but to be far he did end up creating a new quidditch play that they added into the official book so it only made sense he would play this good too. Damien still had faith though, they were only down by 10 points and he believed in his team to pull through. Each player had a special role to play in this game and he believed in every single one of them to pull through as well. He watched as the bludgers hit Graci as she went tumbling to the ground before safely landing on it. He let out a simple sigh a relief glad she was okay before he focused his attention on the other team. Right now he noticed a few players he thought would be a good idea to get rid of but he needed a clear head before he took any action against them. |

And as soon as the round started she found herself to be hit with a bludger from Graci. "Oww..." Laasya groaned. But she had no time to just stand there and wince in pain. No, she had a mission to fulfill which would determine whether the Thunderbolts would lose a beater or not. She couldn't focus on the fact that the score was now 80 to 70. She couldn't focus on the fact that Rafal had again been caught cheating or the fact that the snitch was yet to be seen by Poppy or Elena. All her focus would have to go onto this action. With Max, she carried on a dopplebeater defense which sent a bludger directly towards Graci and caused her to fall off her broom. Thankfully, it went well, not like the other times where she intercepted it and sent it to someone they should not have been sending it to. That same bludger had ricocheted towards Mirada, the really nice girl whom she had met before, but she managed to evade it. Oh well, at least we got someone out. Laasya thought to herself.
Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived. Because Prat Pass decided to ruin it by sending a bludger towards Max, which hit him badly. For a second, she thought that he would suffer the same fate as Elisa and Graci. But turns out, help came in the form of Zephyr, who managed to save him from the fall and was now on the same broom. She mouthed a thank you to him before looking to see what was the fate of the other beater. She was not so lucky, as Mirada was not able to save her before she hit the ground. She had no idea how the new beater played but she couldn't keep her guard down, for if she did, she'd be the one falling next. And there would be no one else to replace either of them. She gave a thumbs up to her teammates as the next round started.

————●●●————
This game was absolutely hectic, nothing seemed to be going anyone's way. Harumi had returned to cheering Harlan in hopes that he'll score again and break the tie. But the other team's player seemed to try to cob him, again! Harlan thankfully evaded and Harumi let out a sigh of relief, now the guy had another penalty lap to finish, they can't be seriously planning on cobbing Harlan every chance they get!
----On the brighter side, Harlan scored twice and got them 20 points, the other team's chaser scored only once and got them 10 points, so now Harumi's team is 10 points ahead! Which isn't much obviously, but at this point, Harumi is clinging to every possible hope no matter how small.
----And there was Max and Laasya teaming up against the other team's beater, Graci not Prat, and knocking her off her broom, ouch, Harumi hoped she's alright, that looked painful. That's why Harumi will never be a beater, she'll try and save the person she knocked off the broom if she became one. Unfortunately the small victory didn't last for long because Prat decided that his next target would be Max, and unlike Elisa, he didn't last on the broom and just fell, Harumi was horrified, but thankfully Zephyr seemed to save him and now they're sharing Zephyr's broom. Though Max seemed pretty dazed, well at least he's well enough. Laasya also got bludgered by Graci, before the latter was knocked off, but she's still on her broom thankfully.
----The seekers again seemed to find nothing, Harumi was hoping for Persephone to find it soon, this match needs to end before Prat takes out all of them one by one, Harumi had to admit, she kind of fears him now.

”I’m okay, don’t worry.” Was what Zephyr responded to his teammates who inquired about his well being. It’s no use telling them that his side still hurt, it’s a constant reminder every time he would make a move so he chose his movements more carefully from then on. From where he was, he saw Harlan managed to get the Quaffle first, pushed through and got them points again. Denise looked better too. She was reacting faster and blocking effectively. It was relieving to see they were holding.
His attention snapped to the beaters as Max and Laasya moved together in perfect sync. They lined up the bludger and struck at the same time, the hit was clean causing Graci to fall. He refused to react too much and felt bad for the girl, someone’s gotta go. Nice…A grin showing for a second there but it didn’t last as another bludger came fast. He saw it too late and the next thing he knew, Max was hit hard and he was falling. Move! His movement was automatic as he dove and leaned forward.
The wind rushed past him as he dropped quickly, his eyes locked on Max. Although his ribs were screaming in pain from the sudden movement, he ignored it again as Max became his priority, the other boy was falling fast completely out of control. He adjusted his angle and pushed his broom as hard as he could despite the strain. His hand reached out as he closed the distance and got him in time. He didn’t care how, logic didn’t matter much at that moment, only his actions so it wasn’t that clean.
The force pulled hard on his arm and almost dragged him off balance, his broom dipping under the added weight. He really thought they’ll both fall. Tightening his grip on his broom handle, his other hand pulled Max closer until he was sitting behind him, not letting go just yet until he’s steady enough. All the while he was also fighting to balance the broom. “You good?” glancing behind him to check on his friend. Max’s voice sounded weird, he must be disoriented, but at least he was conscious.
Their movement became slower with two of them on the same broom. It changed a lot of things. There was worry blooming in his chest that he was trying to ignore. This is going to be tricky. Max thanked him which he replied with an upward nod. “Glad you’re okay mate.” [/size]

Tatiana hovered in her place, the wind tugging on her hair as her gaze swept across the field, unimpressed. Messy. That was the only word for it.
Her team was holding on, barely, but the cracks were obvious if you knew where to look. Graci down and Rafal making a fool of himself with those painfully obvious fouls — it was inefficient, sloppy more like. And she hated sloppy. But at least they did some damage on the other team too; she could see Max barely functioning and clinging onto Zephyr like dead weight after Prat bludgers him.
Her eyes flicked toward the scoreboard again: 80 to 70. Close. Too close. Considering that the advantage that they should've had.
Her grip tightened on Prat's broom as she adjusted her position, posture still surprisingly immaculate despite the chaos all around her. Below, the game churned on, bludgers flew and chasers scrambled, but Tatiana remained still in her place, waiting until the exact moment she had to move.
Her attention snapped briefly to Damien. At least someonei was doing their job. Then to Prat, who was, er, effective, if not excessive. She wouldn't comment on that, after all, results were results.
But the rest?
Her gaze hardened slightly, let's not talk about them.
Her focus returned to the field, eyes tracking every movement, every possible angle of attack. The next shot wouldn't catch her off guard — it couldn't — not with a game this close.

"Can't stop, addicted to the shindig. / Chop Top, he says I'm gonna win big."
As her teammates soared across the pitch, Valour remained fixated on only on Elena as she circled the arena hopelessly searching for the snitch. She looked downcast, yet focused, having no luck so far in the hunt. They weren’t sure what had really possessed them when all of a sudden they were on their feet, cupping their hands around their lips and bellowing.
“COME ON, ELENA. HEAD IN THE GAME.”
They weren’t sure you could really describe their words as ‘cheering’ but it was a form of encouragement in their own unique way. Valour believed in her – she didn’t need to be coddled with ‘you-can-do-it’s or any other futile niceties. If their words registered to the moonchild, it was unclear at this distance, but Valour caught a glimmer of determination as her senior swept through the skies.
The rest of the match bored her in all honesty; it was incredibly easy to lose focus and let her mind wander. She surveyed on the Keepers and their laser-focus on the Quaffle, then the Beaters causing a spectacle across the field. It was almost like counting sheep. Valour found herself sat back down, chin in her hands as the game passed her by for a moment. If she had any skin in the game, she would apologise to her teammates. For now, she was just content to let her eyes glaze over for a minute or two.

Every time Cash stepped on the Quidditch pitch, there always somethingvinteresting played out. For everyone who love Qudditch like how they followed their favorite football (soccer) team in Premier League will agree with Cash that Quidditch was the same as that Muggle sport.
That Quidditch is everybody's game. That Quidditch are a brutal sport, unpredictable, yet there's a certain unexplainable beauty of the sport we love and sometime hate. As the green eyes watched the game that currently play out in the pitch on silent observe, Cash sucked a deep breath.
Before Manjunath flew in, Cash had whispers something for the next course of action that she and Vidler need to execute and hoping the end result is something Cash had envision in their head. "Double. Do double"The acting Captain for the day shout to both Max and Laasya to do the Dopplebeater Defense.
And when Graci Lang tumbling down toward the groune following the same fate as Elisa Shakestra, Cash rejoiced. "Adios, loser!"Cash jeered. An eye for an eye, that for sure. Cash was so engrossed in what happened with the Beaters, they missed Montgomery's spectacular scoring.
The Sixth-year looked at the score board 80 to 70. The score only a miniscule apart. All Cash could hope and pray for that Persephone would see the Snitch before Elena did.

Date: 03/19/2026 | Time: morning | Location: Quidditch ✦The game continued on with beautiful actions from her team, the were doing great and could possibly even beat the Golden Phoenixs ! That would be one heck of a game if the Thunderbolts could pass in front of their opponents and overwhelm them by getting a big advance on points. But that was still to work on, for that they’d need to see how to get their strategy to work. And if Astal wanted to talk strategy she’d need one of her teammates. She looked around and found Ari, one of the teammates she had already seen in the hallways of the castle more than one time. Astal moved on the bench so that she could get closer and hesitated before talking.
- Hey umm, Ari right ? Would you like to talk a bit strategy so that we could be of help for our team ?
Astal hoped that her teammate would be receptive so that this talk could go well. However she couldn’t see the future and so it be up to Ari to see to it.
A while after, Astal was back at watching the game, she saw that the beaters were pretty engaged in their work and many players were being hit by bludgers, players on both teams. Unfortunately, Astal saw one of her teammates hit an opponent but be immediately struck by two opponents which made her fall from her broom and nobody was able to catch her. In that quick moment, Astal’s heart started beating very fast, she was a second string beater, this meant that it would be her turn to go up on the field. This was verified when she was called up to replace her fallen teammate. Astal stood up from the bench, left what wasn’t needed there and got up on her broom to join the ongoing game.────────────────────────────────↳ Interacting With: @Thunderbolts

The match was just getting tense. Graci, the beater who had just saved me, was hit off the broom she was on, a member of the other team was knocked off their broom, but was caught by one of their team mates, the other team scored 20 points, and my team scored 10 points. I knew I should’ve tried to save Graci, but I honestly didn’t see her fall at first, too busy looking for the people I was told to keep a look out for. And, to make things worse, one of my team’s chasers was caught cheating. Again. So, he had to take a penalty lap around the pitch. Again. Anyone would’ve thought that he could’ve learnt from his mistakes, but obviously not. One of the girls on the other team was also hit by a bludger, but she was still hanging onto her broom, just. At least my team’s beaters were good. But, the chaser on the other team was amazing at the game. But, saying that, he seemed to injure himself from grabbing the quaffle. Even experienced players could make mistakes, it seemed.
I whispered to myself, “Don’t let anyone fall. Don’t let anyone fall.” But, hopefully, I could score goals instead. That would be a much better use of a game.
