Oh Sweet Anticipation Quidditch Match

Madhup remained restless. He could hardly sit, feeding off of the crowd's overwhelming energy, not to mention the equally vocal and animated actions of his fellow bench-warmers. The boy hissed and booed when Serena scored, only to pump his fists and howl the name "GRETAAA!" when she returned the favor. He was hollering like mad as a second score was attempted, only to fall furiously silent, kicking the ground when Willow blocked it. Cries of outrage echoed out from the box once Romeo was sent off on a penalty lap. They trailed off into another aggravated hiss, even though moments before Madhup had helpfully been jeering "A LOVIT-O! A LOVIT-O!" (Hit her! Hit her!) They had been targeting poor Romeo, whereas Durmstrang's duo had both missed Serena. That girl had to go. She was too good.

Kolya almost rolled his eyes when his Beater partner pretended to be wounded by his words in a playful manner, but he had got used to his playfulness and egotism. And when being asked about his own confidence, Kolya simply huffed, "Как будто это когда-нибудь случится, но если говорить о доверии, давайте уничтожим их (Translation: Like that'll ever happen, but speaking of confidence, let us destroy theirs)." He pointed at those Hufflepuff players across.

After they got into position on their brooms, the game finally began, Kolya remembered their first strategy was to target their seeker. Honestly, he felt slightly insulted when they decided to have the other two players going after the seeker as well as if not trusting his ability to hit the seeker. Well, this odd girl looked weak for sure, although he knew that small people were usually very nimble. And to Kolya's surprise, the Hufflepuff seekers did manage to dodge their attacks, even though she barely evaded them it was still a success on her part. Kolya let out a frustrated growl and cursed in Russian, then he heard loud cheers from behind. He turned around and saw one of their Chasers, Greta who just helped their team score 10 points. It was a blessing to have such a talented Pureblood Chaser on their team. At the moment, Durmstrang and Hogwarts tied for now.

The one-eyed Beater glared at the Hufflepuff seeker from afar, "Наслаждайся удачей, пока можешь, игра только началась. (Translation: Enjoy your luck while you can, the game has only begun)." He whispered to himself. Kolya never really liked easy games anyway, he preferred to have challenges. Their own seeker had yet to find the Golden Snitch and so was the Hufflepuff seeker. The game wouldn't be over so soon and a lot of possibilities would happen anytime. He quickly flew beside Slava, giving him a nod signaling him that they should have a different approach in the next round.

As soon as the whistle blew and the quaffle was released, Aaron was super focused. His eyes never left that red orb, and perhaps that's what made him miss it. He should've been focusing more on controlling his new broom. When Serena Towers got the ball to start, Aaron raced after her, making sure she made it to the opponent goals and that he would be there in case the quaffle was dropped. He cheered as she made the first goal of the match, but it was a short-lived celebration as he noticed the opponent team's keeper suddenly charging at the girl. She was suddenly being attacked from all sides, and he was impressed at the agility she showed in dodging the opponent's fouls AND two incoming bludgers. He scoffed under his breath, showing off a very not-Aaron expression. He looked angry for once. THAT'S how Durmstrang champions played? Seemed like all the rumors had been true.

As he flew back to the center of the field, he briefly came face-to-face with a petite girl on the opposite team. His eyes widened slightly, recognizing the girl from the crafting activity the day before. Their struggle to communicate (considering they didn't have a language in common) had left an impression on him. She was a chaser for Durmstrang? Aaron shook his head, trying to not let it faze him. But as the quaffle was once again released, he missed out on the opportunity, stunned to find that the girl - Greta - had gotten the quaffle! She zoomed towards the goalposts faster than he could react, and he turned to see that Willow had stumbled and missed the save.

Aaron watched next as Annie and Greta got hold of the ball, struggling to gain full possession. Greta won, but this time Willow performed her new move spectacularly, and Aaron cheered from where he was. He was already working up a sweat flying back and forth, always keeping an eye on that red ball. For just a moment, as the field was being reset with the quaffle again, he turned his eyes to the stands. There were far too many people to properly find his friends, but-

Aaron's eyes landed on a large banner with his name on it. He had a feeling that it was Lydia holding that banner, and he felt a surge of energy from the show of support. The twelve-year-old turned back to the game with new determination. Now was not the time to lose focus. This was going to be Hufflepuff's game in the end.

The boy cringed when the quaffle flew right past Willow. "C'mon Willow! You can do better than that! You got this!" Jack wasn't the best at encouragement, but it was better than nothing. While clapping his hands together loudly, Jack could feel the tension in between his shoulder blades. "Let's go, Huffs!" The boy was on the edge of his seat the entire time!

Sitting on the bench and cheering on the team!

As the game started up, Serena kept herself close to their Seeker, who, confusingly, was also named Serena. It was no secret that Serena the Seeker was excellent at catching the Snitch. And if Durmstrang were smart, they would try to take her out of the match as soon as possible.

So the twelve-year-old decided that it would be best to be on ‘lifeguard duty’ as she had sometimes heard it referred. So she hovered under Serena Towers’ broom, ready to catch the Seeker if need be. And it turned out that the Chaser had been correct, as both of Durmstrang’s Beaters went for the Seeker. And not only that but one of their Chasers and their Keeper attempted to Blatch her!

But Serena Towers managed to evade all four attempts! Serena Bowen was impressed! Deciding that, for now, the Seeker could hold her own, the twelve-year-old began assessing the field for where she might be needed. However, she still stayed close, just in case.
