Results

Hanzo & Ella fly their penalty lap. Aaron had decided to team up with Jack and was determined to score some quaffles this round. However! It seemed that Durmstrang wouldn't be entertaining him any longer and decided to shift their gaze! Espen on the other hand had his eyes on the Hufflepuff Seeker! How much more would little Serena had to endure? As far as Durmstrang was concerned they'd make the Badger fall. Thus Espen chased Annie and Serena, almost able to push them both off of their broom... Yet, suddenly Annie made a sharp move. Espen couldn't dodge anymore and blatched Greta off her broom! But not before Greta could knock Serena off the broom with Rosie!

Kolya tried to do the same as her teammate, but unfortunately missed her attack!

It was incredible what happened on the Quidditch field. Hufflepuff and Durmstrang were fighting an intense battle and neither of them was going to back down. Not until one of them would come out victorious. Illian was sitting on the edge of the bench as he watched the game unfold. It was thrilling. Just when things seemed to get most dire Durmstrang seemed to magically pull a rabbit out of its hat. They had turned the game around. It was his hope they could finish the game on their terms. He felt proud of his team. GO DURMSTRANG!

With every moment, every second that ticked by on the clock, the Quidditch Match seemed to plunge into a new, more terrifying depth, the sequence of events never ceasing to take away the breath of the Durmstrang Captain as his eyes keenly watched the happenings of the game, the grin on his face only growing in ferocity. It was marvelous, how well the Russians were playing, their chemistry resembling that of a well-oiled machine, reliable and never-failing in nature – the practices are paying off, Hanzo thought pridefully to himself. Good. Every blatch, every bludger that met its mark sent a new wave of pride throughout the child, and he couldn’t help but shove a fist into the air, sending a whoop throughout the thunderous stadium. “Yeah, Durmstrang! Well-played!” came his call in Russian, followed with one translated smoothly in English – “GO HOME, HUFFLEPUFF!” It was directed towards the Hufflepuff seeker. The boy’s face held every semblance of bad sportsmanship known to man, his eyes glowering as the ends of his mouth tugged upwards in a taunting smirk. “BEFORE WE SEND YOU THERE IN A BODY BAG!” He would have to admit, the Hufflepuff’s game of keep-away was beginning to irritate the boy. How was it that, after all their offensive attacks, the girl still retained her position in the game? However, no such difficulties could deter the chaser – the other team, after all, was thinning out, their ranks weakening with each blow of the bludger. This knowledge kept the boy hopeful, keen on snatching the hope of the badgers from right under their noses. “How many Hufflepuffs does it take to keep Serena Towers on a broom?” he asked Ella jokingly, a smile dancing across his features. Then, shaking his head with a laugh, “All of them!”

Karma was a real bitch.

Hanzo would be oblivious to Espen’s rogue blatch, his eyes catching the sullen form of his sister from across the field at the very last second – there was nothing he could do but watch in horror, every muscle in his body tense with anxiety as his eyes widened, a gasp escaping from his lips – “Greta!” he shouted, his face reddening as the weight of what he’d seen slowly sank into his conscience. She’d only been scoring, he noted silently, trying to hide the wave of insecurity that was now drowning his livelihood. Why – why would they aim at her, of all people? The emotions that followed were messy, hard to control, a mixture of sadness, confusion… anger. It was then that the boy would feel something he knew he had never before felt in his entire life – a sense of deadliness that contradicted everything he had ever felt as a victim of bullying. They. Hurt. Greta. He hated Hufflepuff, goddammit, he hated them! These strong feelings would spur a revelation within the child – there was winning the game, and then there was killing the competition. Durmstrang had wasted too much time playing with their food. These were the thoughts that spurred the Captain on, his face a deep shade of red as his gaze locked in on the damned seeker responsible for the downfall of his sister. It didn’t matter what everyone else on his team thought. He’d made up his mind. The seeker was going to pay.

No, she was going to suffer.

Not much longer, not much longer....

Spinning as I skidded to a stop, aiming to watch the field and assess the situation that had unfolded entirely around me. Greta plummeted, victim to Espen's powerful blatch. With a breathless F-bomb beneath my breath, I tapped my fingers rapidly on the crescent broom handle of my moontrimmer. Not only was I out for blood.... I was out for revenge.

Let's get this over with. This is our game to win, badgers.

In Valentin’s dream, the enemy starfighters were going down in flames, streaming like asteroids down into a sun. Suddenly he caught a glint of light against metal as Greta’s ship unexpectedly collided with Espen’s, causing one to veer off course and the other to explode. Valentin screamed –
“GRETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” The debris of her ship spun silently in space as Valentin gritted his teeth.

Action: Ko’d

As long as the snitch wasn't caught, they were winning. The Puffballs continued to pluck the little seeker out of the air time and time again to the point that it was almost comical. Each one that defended her subsequently plummeted to the ground themselves, one after the other. Seemed like winning so far, most of the badgers were getting beaten silly by the laws of physics.

A tragedy then when the same happened to Greta-- by Espen so less! It figured that the bumbling badgers couldn't get rid of any of them themselves, but it was so annoying that Espen hadn't been paying closer attention. Greta had got them so many points that she had done more than anyone could have asked of her-- she would certainly be honored at the victory party-- but it was a shame to see her knocked out.

Really, it was the Hogfart's fault that Espen hit her. How many more of them would line up to get smashed to bits? They weren't even playing the game anymore, it was just a slaughter. Ah, Quidditch was such a great game. At this point, even if somehow that scrappy shrimp got the snitch in her hands, she would likely never see Durmstrang colors again without ducking for cover.

Interaction with @Reid Kovacs & @Serena Towers

A huff of annoyance and aggravation exploded from the boy as he watched his seeker get repeatedly attacked by the other team. He had to hold his breath as he watched Reid dive down to catch their obvious Mvp, Serena Towers. The boy was a kettle and he was about to start screamin'. If anything, Jack hated cheaters, assuming it wasn't him who was doing it. Watching all of these cheaters having a damn field day only added on to the fact that he wasn't even able to lay someone out with his boy, Aaron. White knuckling the bat in his right hand, Jack turbulently whipped around on his Nimbus to face Reid and Serena. " Reid! Serena! Ya got this! Let's make these Durmstrang Dumbarses pay! Honorless eejits don' deserve to win, so let's show 'em how us Badgers get shit done!" Waving his bat in a circle above his head, before zooming off to find himself an advantageous position. These punks were gonna get knocked down a peg, and Jack knew that it was his job to shake things up a bit.

Abilities: Fearless

Madhup continued to watch with a white-knuckled grip around his broom, lips pressed tightly together and stare darting madly around the pitch. Greta, their valiant Valkyrie, was struck from the heavens by one of their own. It was a karmatic punishment for their brutality and hubris, but she had played impeccably. The way was paved for victory. Now Durmstrang need only to fight tooth and nail to reach it, whatever it took.

The thought of taking a nap passed briefly through Willow’s head as the next round went from 100-0 of Greta fighting her every round to... nothing. Absolutely nothing. Seeing as no one was going for the quaffle anytime soon, she leaned forward to rest her head in the palm of her hand propped up on the broom.

“Game of a lifetime” they said. “It’ll be fun! You’ll do great!” they said. Who said? Well no one. At least not to Willow, but she sure wished they did so she could yell at them for giving her false hope for succeeding.
