♕-april 18, 2026 | quidditch pitch, hogwarts -♕

Weilding the Beater’s bat was a second nature, but it seemed luck was not on a particular Haitian’s side today. Of course, Alphonse had entered the Pitch at full swing —quite literally soeaking. Yet, his innate talent wouldn’t show and such efforts remained futile; Alphonse’s bludger’s aim was off somehow and nearly wiped out the one familiar face amid this whole match. Shit. Perhaps it was the wind, or perhaps it was the nerves wracking the Caribbean-bred boy. Who was he to say?

“Carajo.” fuck

Gripping the bat tighter as a bout of frustration overcame him, Alphonse slowed his Silver Arrow’s speed as his chocolate brown gaze followed Damien’s younger frame. Despite the furrowed brow that wore his features, there was a flicker of apology in his eys as they hovered side by side.

“My bad, bro,” Alphonse spoke with a halfhearted smile, his formerly proud and boisterous voice quieter than its usual cadence.

Last thing Alphonse needed was his mother breathing down his neck regarding bestowing Damien with a concussion, accident or not.

With a deep inhale and exhale, Alphinse steeled his nerves for the impending duration. “Fwaye,” the Haitian wizard murmured under his breath, looking down at the Beater’s bat. focus

The Bench

The game continues, with one side of the pitch being a lot more active in its cheers and boos than the other.

Debuff Fouls

One Draven Mirador, who had been seeking last round, spent this round up close and personal with Kanae, marking the poor girl. Now if Mahdi was in the Asian girl's place he would have shot a bludger at him -- or even the bat itself. But the poor girl seemed completely overwhelmed and failed to do anything of impact.

The Quaffle

Now, where last round the Quaffle had been dominated by Zach and Landon, this round it seemed the control was on the other side, with Alphonse gaining the Quaffle the majority of the time, and Elena scoring. That's ten, twenty, thirty, forty, FIFTY points for team ultaviolet, who are no longer tailing on the scdoreboard. A couple more rounds like that would set the match solidly in their favor. But will this dynamic duo actually stay and continue on the Quaffle in his game?

The Snitch

The second round and it seemed that the snitch had been abandoned! Perhaps the kids had figured Mahdi out that this snitch was harder to catch than the normal ones?

The Bludgers

The action continues, but where the beaters had kept all the fun to themselves last time, the new beaters had new targets. Zophyr had hit a hard ball at Zach, knocking him clear off his broom and forcing Mahdi to zoom forwards and catch the boy let he fall to a less-than-spectacular crunch on the ground. No matter, kids will roughhouse.

"Mr. Zaphiere is unable to continue;" Mahdi called out.

KOB Fouls

Seizing the moment of his distraction, Damien shot himself like an arrow at Miharu, but the Mahoutokoro seeker swerved out of the way with practiced ease. A valiant attemopt, if ultimately fruitless.

"I saw that, Mr. Dragonclaw. A lap around the pitch for you."

Reducio

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.

His job was supposed to be simple: Be on save duty in case anyone fell. Easy enough, right? Apparently not. He didn’t quite know wether it was the sun getting in his eyes or the roar of the wind about his ears that ended up distracting him. But it hardly mattered, as the result was the same. He saw nothing and did even less. Had he been able to pay attention he might have noticed that seemed to be the case for his entire team. Oh well, there was always next round right?

Wrong again apparently. As he circled the pitch, rubbing at his eyes, he didn’t see the ravenclaw fall until it was way too late. Hitting the ground like that could hardly be comfortable, and so he winced. Wasn’t falling off your broom supposed to be a first year thing? And yet here he was still seated on his. Of course he missed anything and everything leading up to the fall. That didn’t exactly inspire trust in him, he knew that much. Still there was little he could do about it right now except pull himself together. Dragging a hand through his hair out of frustration, he shook his head and made ready to go again.
