And the game began!

The initial strategy was a bit simple for the beaters. Pete was supposed to intercept Leo's bludgers, while he himself would be flying down, ready to catch anyone. Sure, it wasn't a fun thing to do, but with a strongman like Leo on the opposing team who is on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, it was better to stay safe than sorry.

From the looks of how the bludger was going, it was bound to hit Marcella, but Pete was successfully able to hit it back and aim it towards their opposing Keeper, Normal. This almost sounded something like from a Spider-Man movie, namely Tobey's second or third one. Aaron wasn't sure, he wasn't born when either of them were released, and the modern MCU is much better than those movies. Though NWH did call back the old cast.... But that was a different discussion which was making Aaron loose focus from the match.

Fortunately for the team as a whole, he didn't have to catch anyone from falling as no one was hit from a bludger, but from what he could see, their keeper and one of their chasers did get a bit hurt.

The match still went on and they were able to score 10 points, but the opposing team had scored 20 points.

It was at this moment that Aaron realised he was flying in a Quidditch game, albeit an unofficial one. Sure, it is more like to keep himself in shape and to ensure that if someone resigns, he is ready to move up to become a second-string beater, but it was his first time flying overall, apart from a couple of times in their lessons.

As Aaron took circles of the pitch on the school broom, he took a small second to enjoy the wind on his face, while being tension free as no one was falling. He then prepared himself for the next action, which should be more fun than just flying about hoping to save someone.

George felt elated.
Yep. Elated was the word.
When the whistle went off, and the Quaffle went up, everything seemed in slow motion except for his own movements. As soon as the Quaffle's descent began, he swooped in like a hawk and grabbed it out of nowhere.
Then, as if that wasn't weird enough, he half-teleported to the front of the hoops, tricked the Keeper, and scored.
Yeah, just like planned.
His teammate Evgenia followed up with one more, making the score 20-0.
When it seemed like nothing could go wrong, Team 1 got two consecutive shots. Normal saved the first with a "solid block", and then the next one went through the hoop, ruining the perfect score.
As if that wasn't enough, he saw Denisse, the other team's Seeker, turn her eyes towards a golden... object.
Oh crud. The Snitch.
Andrea was still hunting wildly, but in spite of himself. George smiled. He knew exactly what was going to happen and telling himself not to worry, swerved his broom around, and rushed to his position a short distance from the hoop.
If everything went right, all was well. If everything went wrong, George was never there. He pointed his broom forward at the Quaffle, praying for the first one to happen.

Action : As strategised
Broom : Nimbus 1500 - 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.

As soon as the whistle blew, tension pulled Lorelei's shoulders tight, and her fixation on the Quaffle was too strong to do anything to remedy the obvious nervousness she was exuding. Her worry turned to dread as she watched all three of the opposing team's Chasers go for the ball.

What felt like mere seconds later, George was flying straight toward her with the Quaffle. Lorelei tried to predict which hoop he was headed for, doing her best with her limited Quidditch knowledge to stop him from scoring. Evidently, she'd read his strategy wrong, and watched dejectedly as the Quaffle sailed through her goal. The score updated: 0-10.

Lorelei recalled her captain's strategy advice: use speed to her advantage and fly quickly back and forth to cover each of the hoops as much as possible. She put the strategy into action, racing across the goalposts as quickly as she could while watching Evgenia approach with the Quaffle.

As the ball left the Chaser's hands, Lorelei reached out to grab it, attempting to prevent another score. Instead, her arms didn't quite reach far enough, and the Quaffle bent her hands back uncomfortably on its way through the hoop.

"Shit!" Lorelei yelped, pulling her hands back as a twinge of pain shot through her left wrist. That pain only worsened at the sight of the scoreboard changing to 20-0.

Thankfully, Marcella and Maisie were able to take back control over the pitch and relieve some of the pressure on the keeper, giving Lorelei a moment to try to recover. Still, she was already out of breath, exhausted from both the frantic flying and her failed attempts to block the shots.

And finally, the game has begun. Just like usual, the zooming of the brooms, the throwing of the quaffle, the flying of the snitch that Andy barely kept up with on ground, nevertheless in the air while trying to control a broom while dodging bludgers and other people! Man, way harder than being a keeper! But the game has just begun, and Andy is already on his second cup of tea from his thermos. For today, he got a gourmet blend of mint, raspberry and huckleberry leaves and hints of apricot notes. That's Andy's favorite that he brought from home in his mansion in Perth, Scotland. The tea perfectly resembeles early fall, and just chilly weather overall. For a second, or even for 5-6 minutes, Andy even fell asleep, and when he woke up, 10-20 on the score board. Team 1 was losing. Yes, team 1! Was it the keeper's fault? Chaser? Beaters? What is the difference. We are losing, and nothing will change that unless the team locks in and starts playing! Andy put his tea down and gripped his Nibus 1700 tightly, so tightly that it started to hurt. Before the match, Andy didn't really polish or clean anything on his broom so If he does go in, then he will be more wobbly, and fly worse, but as a keeper, you don't need to be fast for long distances. You need reaction time and awarness, something that the team isn't doing right now. The early autumn air was starting to blow a bit more, and even though Andy was in a Ravenclaw wool Sweatshirt, it was pretty chilly. He opened up his tea again and commenced his watching. Whatever happens, weather Andy goes on the field, or not, he will have a fun time winning.
