quidditch Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw - Spring 2026

With the success of the aggressive defense, Atlas saw no need to switch things up now. She could hear the familiar cheers of Landon echoing over the pitch as the support only pushed her to moved faster. With the number of points she had been able to put up already, she knew that she was going to end up being a target sooner rather than later.

While racing for the Quaffle, she kept her senses open for any approaching threats. Her caution paid off as an attempted cob proved easy enough to avoid. Part of Atlas was irritated that the ref's hadn't seen the attempted foul, but she knew that she had gotten away with more than a couple in her time as keeper. Most importantly was the fact that she was still on her broom. She knew she was facing skilled players but her experience placed her at an enormous advantage. Time after time, she snatched the quaffle away and attacked the undefended goals. It didn't matter if the quaffle grabs were contested, she had too much time spent practicing to falter now.

Still, as she worked to run up the score, Atlas knew that she was being targeted and that her team was working to keep her in play. A ricocheted bludger tore into Fire and forced them instantly from their broom. Atlas knew that ricochet had been fully intended for her and muttered a quiet curse. She was thankful for the defense but hated to see her teammate get hit. Still that only pushed her to keep up the onslaught of points as she pulled in another fifty for her team.

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.)

Ophelia was usually very focused in these matches. It was a sort of specialty of hers, paying attention to things intently. But for some reason, the past round had just escaped her. Even so, she was back in it now, her focus locked in. But her paying attention didn't mean much-- not when Hufflepuff had just gotten so ahead. So much for an easy last game.

Jorah needed to recover from his previous incident of friendly fire. What better way then to take out the enemy seeker? To Jorah's suprise, instead of looking for the snitch, Hufflepuff's seeker was harassing Aly instead. Oh tsk tsk, that just won't do. Jorah locked in and smashed a bludger towards Daphne's direction. Success! He watched her plummet to the ground and completely missed his ricochet taking out a second victim. "You're clear @Aly Salinger, now go catch us that snitch!"

Switching it up, Callum was now cheering for his fellow Seeker. He soon felt like his cheers weren't working, though, as Daphne was knocked off her broom. The moment she fell, his cheers died in his throat, his expression shifting from happiness to concern as he watched her crash onto the pitch, her broom breaking in the process.
This meant Callum was going into the game. He was just as excited as he was nervous, knowing the Seeker's role was a huge one to fill. As he prepared to take her place, the reality of the responsibility ahead of him began to sink in.

Avis zipped back on to the field after an agonizing lap around the pitch. Regardless of the fact that actions have consequences, getting caught blatching led to penalties which led to impatience which led to being mad at anything and everyone in the air. Fortunately, the Ravenclaw played better when she was a bit fired up anyway. With a tilt of her broom, Avis was back in position and ready to play.

SECOND STRING

The game was rapidly starting to heat up and become tight. On the bench, Ophelia and Landon would continue giving their loudest cheers to their teammates up in the air, shouting their support as loud as they could.

DEBUFF FOULS

Sage would leave behind her beater duties, giving that responsibility to Fire, as she was dart towards Aly. She did her best to try and replicate Camilla's earlier success, but Aly would be prepared and managed to avoid the bluet attempt this time around. Luckily enough, the failure didn't catch the eye of the referee.

QUAFFLE ROLLS

It was all kicking off around the quaffle. Camilla would try to distract Winnie using the Wollongong shimmy, but she was too locked into her job as a chaser, having had the break whilst she was returned to her broom. Damien would use the same technique, and all of the Hufflepuff players would fall for the distraction.

This gave Winnie a clear shot to get the quaffle, as she scored goal after goal. Atlas would, however, manage to snatch it away once, and pass to Callum, who would very dramatically catch it in mid-air as he jumped and pushed it towards to the ring, only for it to be blocked by Mikey and for him to begin falling.

"Looks like Ravenclaw have taken my words to heart - that's an extra 40 points for Ravenclaw, taking the score to 130 - 70! And is that- oh my! It looks like Hufflepuff's seeker has, in a desperate attempt to score, leapt from his broom! What a shame that goal was blocked, is there anyone around to save him?"

BLUDGERS

Despite his dramatic sacrifice, that wouldn't be enough for Ravenclaw. Jorah lined up a nice clean hit on him, knocking a bludger into the poor second year, who even if he could've been saved previously, definitely couldn't be now. Fire would also line up a shot on Aly, but, on her own mission, she'd easily dodge it. Jorah's ricochet would aim towards Atlas, who must've been growing tired because the hit landed, surely giving her a nasty bruise, but not enough for her to be out of the game just yet. Ebony was keeping a close watch over Winnie in the quaffle skirmish, but nobody aimed any attacks towards her.

"Yikes, well it seems that Hufflepuff's seeker is out for good! And that's a nasty hit on their keeper as well!"

KOB FOULS

On her third round of chasing, having been repeatedly delayed by the Hufflepuffs, Aly would train her eye on Atlas within the chaos over the quaffle. However, as she would go to blatch, the sight of Ebony standing guard over the whole scuffle would throw her off momentarily, and she'd miss and swerve out the way.

"Jeez, what happened to a nice clean game? Salinger, go on, penalty lap!"

Interacting with Atlas, Ebony, Fire

Aly looped easily away from a stray Bludger that had been sent her way by one of the younger remaining Beaters on Hufflepuff's side, @Fire Davies; she kept her eyes trained on the scuffle for the Quaffle, aiming to blatch her fellow seventh-year, @Atlas Reid, clean off her broom. Atlas had scored many of Hufflepuff's points, despite not really being a Chaser, so it was time to get rid of her.

Unfortunately, as Aly swooped ever closer to the other graduating senior, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of @Ebony Vetra; something about the dark-haired girl's sudden appearance in her vision spooked her, and Aly flew right past Atlas without so much as touching a blonde hair on her head. The whistle blew, and the ref sentenced her to a penalty lap; Aly's mouth dropped open, and she indignantly waved one hand at the referee. "I didn't even go near her!" the seventh-year protested loudly, but that was that, and she'd have to take a lap around the field nevertheless. Aly rolled her eyes and pushed her broom off in that direction, still grumbling under her breath about 'blind referees' and 'unfair calls'.

Yes! But no... Not the come back that Andy had in mind of course, but hey, Ravenclaw did score a decent amount of times! We are still losing by a lot, but If our defense tightens up, and our offense becomes even better, we might have this one in the bag. If not, then yeah...
