In the role of Chaser when you attempt to catch a passed Quaffle (such as when the Keeper has possession of the Quaffle and passes it to a teammate) you have advantage (meaning that it is rolled twice and you keep the better option) on attempts to catch if the opponent team attempts to intercept.
In the role of Keeper when you attempt to block your goal, if your opponent somehow has advantage on attempting to score a goal, that is negated (they only have their normal single roll against you).
In the role of Seeker when you have found the snitch, if someone attempts to use Alley Oop to help you find the snitch, you will not have disadvantage. However, with this broom you do not gain the +1 chance to grab the snitch for rounds that the Alley Oop is used. To clarify, each round someone attempts to grab a snitch they get a +1 to the attempt and this stacks. There is no bonus (or stack from this round's attempt to grab) to grabbing the snitch.
In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice at disadvantage (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself). Ricochet damage is 75% of the original hit.

Max was all ready to go. He had signed up as soon as he had heard of the unofficial game being held. It seemed there were a lot more upper years participating this time. In the other games he had partaken in, there had mostly been first years. It made him all the more proud that he was a part of the first-string lineup. If others had faith in him, he would not disappoint.

He arrived at the stadium with his trusted Nimbus slung over the shoulder in a way he himself was convinced looked cool. It looked far from it, but as long as Max got to continue with his fantasy, everything was alright. He halted at the very edge and narrowed his eyes, studying the players already there. To see the know-it-all Ravenclaw already on his broom soured his mood a bit. Of course the self-important idiot was playing this game too. But the opportunity to eventually knock him out soon turned his frown upside down once again.

Swinging a leg over his broom he kicked off. The wind was cold enough to give an ugly cold if one wasn’t properly dressed. Thankfully Max was never one to skimp over keeping warm. He circled the field before gathering with the rest. The caretaker, referee for the day, spoke of a clean and fair game. He had to hold himself back from snorting. Never, not even once, had he ever heard of a quidditch game completely void of cheating. Fouls made the sport better in his opinion. Upon the speech finishing, he turned his broom, getting ready for the whistle to be blown and the game to begin.

Clean fair game his arse. The caretaker-slash-referee's pre-match address had gone well, in the sense that the pink-haired badger eye-rolled hard enough to see the back of his own skull. No quidditch team had ever played a clean game, professionally or otherwise, and not toughening these teenagers up now was just setting them loose unprepared onto a professional pitch that would eat them alive. Also that address was lip service and everyone on this pitch knew it — if the man actually wanted clean, he could have made the foul penalties worse, because a foul with no send-off was basically a green light. "Do we think he means clean as in legal, or clean as in no visible blood?" having hauled a whole cart of snacks over and settled himself into his seat with a bag of crisps he was already crunching loudly, Mamori directed this at the bench in general and no one in particular. He had a thought and it deserved an audience. Not that he had any strategic input to offer this match anyway — @Damien Dragonclaw's birthday voucher covered 10 Galleons of labour, and in Mamori's interpretation, it meant the physical act of getting on a broom and not whatever thinking typically preceded it. Until it was his turn, his entire job was the snack cart and occasionally trash-talking whichever opposing player looked like they were enjoying themselves too much. And why were there so many Japanese players again, for Merlin's sake, apparently Mahoutokoro had a policy of exporting their entire student body to Britain at every available opportunity. His last unofficial had already been crawling with them, and at this rate he was collecting the whole Mahoutokoro lineup like chocolate frog cards.

She doesn't really know why she is here, to be frank. An unofficial Quidditch match on a Saturday morning? She is not even on the Mahoutokoro official school team. How did she even manage to end up in this place? She did play a bit of Quidditch, mostly by herself in the garden behind her house. And mostly she was just chasing some bugs that were flying around and pretending they were the golden snitch, but it is still counts, because her grandma always says she was gifted at it. She scoffs at the thought. So, of course, when she was just telling her grandma about joining an unofficial game of Quidditch, she got overly excited and sent her a super expensive broom that she doesn't even know they have. Apparently, gramps used to play quidditch almost religiously?

Yeah, right.

If they thought this game would turn her into a Quidditch fanatic, they are very, very wrong. But here she is. Holding her very shiny broom. It does look second-hand, but a silver arrow still must cost a fortune. Now she thinks about it, this broom certainly goes very nicely on top of her beautifully curated trinket drawer after this game, if it still came out in one piece, that is.

She steps onto the field, and a sudden cold spring air hits her face. With every steps she regrets her decision to get involved in this sport.

She does see some familiar faces, mostly her classmates from Mahoutokoro who is happen to be the same year as her. But a lot of them are younger students too.

Mio sighed and climbed onto her broom and floated depressingly into the sky.

I have a bad feeling about this.
