Bludgers Build Character unofficial game

Nothing happened. The bludger, which she had been anticipating to collide with one of her teammates, flew neatly past her ginger teammate. Hah. Take that other-team-beaters!

Her attention was drawn to an apparent foul committed by one of the other team's players. She had not seen it personally. Noticing small details such as an elbow in another's space was, as we all were learning, not Dahlia's strong suit. However, thankfully, Dido was far more on the ball than she was and called out that egregious rule breaker. Dahlia snorted at the girl's audacity to talk back. "Try not cheating next time. Hm?" The Gryffindor called out from above.

A second wind of energy came over the witch. She had to focus. She had to find the snitch quickly, before the opposing seeker could get to it. She needed a new strategy.

A-ha! There she had it. Tilting her broom upward, she aimed first towards the sky. Then, in a sudden motion, she dipped downward, in such covering all possible elevations between the top and the bottom of the playing space. She completed several of these waves until reaching the end of the pitch, at which point she turned sharply in an 180 degree motion, heading back in the other direction a few feet to the left of her original lap. This was it. She ought to continue with this method for the foreseeable future. If she covered the entire pitch in this way, there was not a chance that the snitch could possibly pass her. If only the golden bird moved slowly... Dahlia sighed.

The fight for the quaffle had been a rather losing one as each try, Livia snatched it from Elisa and scored due to the lack of their teams keeper who was serving penalty. Elisa felt a sort of annoyance at how the situation was turning out.

The opposite team seemed to be in a stream of points until the quaffle finally fell into the hands of Elisa who threw it into the loop with barely much effort, an easy throw that could've easily been caught, of not for the pathetic catching skills of the opposite teams keeper.

Suddenly she heard the sound of a bludger hitting, her eyes fell on the bludger that had been launched by Remy and Dahlia as it hit one of the opposite beaters. The sound was a testament of the strength put into the bludger as Elisa felt a chill run up her spine at just imagining the pain. Remy and Dahlia seemed like a perfect duo with the coordination they played, almost too good to the fact that Elisa wondered how the hell had neither Cecilia's nor Charlotte's fallen on Remy for Slytherin Quidditch yet? That boy was no less of an overly wild storm with his strength and skills.

The game continued. With their trusty keeper off on a penalty lap, their hoops were left unguarded. The opposing team exploited this opening, Livia earning them more than enough points to take the lead. Luckily, the eldest and most talented chaser on their team managed to fit in a goal of their own too.

She and Remy had become more her directing and Remy hitting. The two of them zoomed around the pitch after the Bludger, they had to take out some of the other players if they wanted to stand a chance at winning this game. Ophelia wasn’t invincible, if they could get injured then so could she. Besides she was useful to the others making her the perfect target.

Just as the two of them were positioning themselves behind Ophelia, a swooshing noise caught her attention, a Bludger, curtesy of Sabrina Lyons. They’d get her back for that later, just she wait and see. Remy himself seemed too have built up rage specifically towards Ophelia but, oh well, all the harder he would hit her I guess. "Get her!” Jada said as he swung his bat. The ball streaked across the sky like a missile, successfully hitting its target.

Debuff Fouls

Having just watched the poor girl get absolutely smashed into by Remy’s bludger, Dido’s eye was on Ophelia. Seemingly able to remover reasonably quickly, the girl began to head towards the hoops at the far end of the court, bat at the ready. For the first few moments, it looked like she was gearing up to hit the bludger but, as she grew closer to the first team’s keeper, Dido’s eyes widened.

“Ophelia!” she called out, pre-emptively trying to call a foul. Unfortunately for the Slytherin captain, Dido’s words left her mouth just seconds too late as, with a resounding crack, Ophelia swung her bat down towards Cecilia.

Wincing slightly, Dido stuttered out, “That’s a penalty!” She coughed sheepishly, hoping that the hurt girl would be too disoriented to hold Dido’s lack of observation against her.

Quaffle Actions

At last, the Quaffle in the centre of the pitch succeeded in causing a large scrum, almost matching the quieter moments of the games Dido had watched the real Quidditch players perform. Three players rushed in, two from the Cloudbreakers, working as a perfect team, against the third year. In this case, it seemed that numbers were winning against age as Livia managed to race down the pitch, having been helped by Denise, four times and was only interrupted once by Elisa’s catch.

At the far end, the two Slytherins (one slightly injured) faced off. The very first throw was easily blocked by Cecilia, which Dido marvelled in awe at, but, luckily for the Cloudbreakers, Livia scored the other three shots.

In the short break, Elisa was met with an empty goal which she quickly managed to throw the quaffle through, not impressing Dido in the slightest.

The Snitch

Similarly to the action surrounding the quaffle, the snitch was also finally receiving a lot of attention. Both seekers seemed to be staring up at the sky, searching with immense concentration. Unlike with the quaffle though, age did seem to take priority as Amethyst, the second-year, looked as if she had noticed something. The snitch?

Poor Dahlia, on the other hand, saw nothing.

Reducio

Amethyst and Dahlia are searching for snitch (DC = 20)
Amethyst Wisdom: [d20: 14] + 9 = 23
Dahlia Wisdom: [d20: 8] + 7 = 15
Amethyst locates snitch, Dahlia doesn’t but has + 3 next time

Bludgering

Almost like clockwork by then, Dido glanced over at the haphazard duo which was Jada and that irritating boy on her broom. She couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to ride a broom like that, let alone hit a bludger but, somehow, the pair exceeded her expectations and just about managed to again hit the bludger towards Ophelia, who was just about to start her penalty lap.

Thankfully for Ophelia, the bludger just missed her, perhaps sent off course owing to to the sudden appearance of Livia in front of Remy and Jada as she moved, once again, towards the quaffle.

Ophelia thought about it before doing it. What could go wrong? She wasn't that strong, definitely not as strong as Remy; she couldn't hit Cecilia so hard that she passed out and fell off her broom? Right? While the latter option would've been an advantage for her team, she didn't want to intentionally or unintentionally injure the girl badly, especially when they were so high above the ground.

Nevertheless, she flew toward the keeper fast and gripped her bat tighter. Letting out a short sigh that signaled her unsureness after she thought she heard Dido shout her name just a second too late as she swung her bat at the other girl, a sharp 'crack' following. Her eyes closed for a second as the bat made contact with the girl. She didn't die. Ophelia let out a relieved chuckle, ironic, since she just swung her bat at her. Cecilia didn't fall; she stayed on her broom, but she was now hurt. The thought made Ophelia feel guilty immediately, but she shook the thoughts away, hoping the girl wasn't seriously injured.

Penalty lap. Of course, that was obvious. Just as she held her broom to start the lap, she heard a swoosh. A bludger. Ducking instantly in reflex, she let out a nervous chuckle caused by the sudden adrenaline rush at almost getting hit. Remy looked very angry at the bludger, just barely missing Ophelia. "I swear that boy wants me dead," she muttered.

TFluttering golden wings.
Amethyst's grey eyes lit up as soon as she noticed it.
None other than the golden snitch.
Well, she did have some nifty eyes right there.
A small dimpled smile made its way to her face, despite several attempts at not doing so.
She did not want to give away the location of the snitch.
It was supposed to be hers, her victory.
Amethyst had decided to chase the snitch, hopefully without anyone getting the hint.
Without anyone on her tail.
She needed no distractions.
The snitch fluttered right there.
And the cloud-breakers were in the lead.
Everything felt perfect.
Amethyst tried to grin less; she had to keep up the act of not having found the snitch.

She hovered over the pitch on her moon-trimmer, finally acknowledging everyone who was playing. It was hard to make out who was who, but she decided this was the best moment to figure out what her teammates and opponents were up to.
Ophelia had decided bludgering was for the fools and straight-up whacked someone with her bat. Amethyst winced in pain, despite not being on the receiving end.
It took her some time to figure out who was hit, however. And once she did, she almost felt a wave of guilt washing over her.
Cecilia.

The game seemed to be going at an extreme speed that could barely be coped with.

Elisa rode on her broom in an attempt to snatch the quaffle, though some part of her mind remained clearly distracted as she continuously failed in front of the younger chaser of the opponent team, frustration slowly seeping into her as she felt a bit of disappointment at her past array of missed quaffle grabs, a groan escaped her mouth as she got back to position, an attempt to bring her focus back, was it successful? Not really.

Getting one quaffle in her hand after it all felt comforting, her grip tightened as she dove towards the hoops, easily throwing it through due to the lack of the team's keeper, who was rather occupied on whacking Cecilia, who wasn't fortunate enough to evade as the action affected her painfully, Elisa felt herself wince at just the thought of the pain that might have passed through her due to the hard impact of the blow.

Elisa slowly hovered around, her eyes trying their best to catch all the actions happening around her, the way Jada-Remy missed the bludger, the way the seekers looked for the snitch,, and the gazes of disapproval from Dido sent towards her, jeez the girl had taken her past yell rather too personally with the offense she displayed.

TEAM BANNER TBD

Denise had to admit that many times, she was a Keeper, but she sucked at her job in general. The irony is that in most Quidditch games, she did sign up to be a Keeper because, honestly, she wasn't really good at anything else. At this point, Denise gave up doing Quaffle actions and helped Machavariani score instead, and it was evident that she was much better than Shakestra.

10 points, another 10 points, 10 points...

Well, it was best to be in the lead, so they could catch the snitch as fast as possible. Castillo was actually a competent seeker, much more so than Lee, and she was happy that there was a competent seeker in the game, for Castillo spotted the snitch immediately.

Finally, an unofficial game that would be over soon. She did not want to score for a million years just for the snitch to finally be caught.

Of course, the beaters were full of violence, and she cheered silently as Vanderblit smacked Merrick; that big whack is worth it, but a foul. And then, there was Blake and Break, well, she pitied Blake for sharing a broom with that crazy maniac that was so much bigger than her, especially since Break was breathing violence once more.

At least they missed. But she did hope that it was not the last miss they would have.
