Day of Rain Quidditch Ravenclaw v Hufflepuff

[font=Times New Romans] This was her first official game. The very first.

Stepping forward, Lindsey couldn’t help being nervous. She hoped to be on the team last year, and now, when she’s finally on, the girl felt as if she would like to quit. She couldn’t do it…how could she bludger those lovely people? Well, maybe not that lovely, but at least they were the same like them. She never wanted to see anyone getting hurt.

She couldn’t help thinking the match against Durmstrang in the summer. They won it, but so many badgers fell. This was due to the evil bludgers…evil, yeah, and now she would be the evil one who harms others. She had always wanted to be a beater, but maybe not after the game. Though, it was too late to change now…she had to do it.

Lindsey suddenly felt dizzy. She hastened, and quickly sat on the bench. Hopefully Quinn and Reid (she finally learnt their names) could stay on the pitch till the game ended…which meant, she wouldn’t have to play.

Go Huffles. She thought. A faint smile slowly appeared on her face. They could win. They had been undefeated for the whole season last year, and now, they could be the best as well. Now she just had to wait for the game starts.

Still, hopefully she wouldn’t get onto the pitch…[/font]

Quinn was not nervous because of the game itself, nor was he afraid of losing. He'd gotten over that hump with the games that forged the team into what it was in the previous season. No he was nervous because of what happened in the aftermath of the Durmstrang championship. Most of the team saw Quinn at probably his worst point and just how terrifying he could be when pushed over the edge.

He was not an idiot or blind. He knew that some of the team was rightfully still fearful of him. Yet they chose to stay on and keep him as the captain which gave him some solace and resolve. So steeling himself he took his large broom and entered the field with his team putting on his large, warm smile flashing his teeth for all to see. He even waved and laugh a stark contrast of how he had been in the last few months.

He looked to Ami who expressed her nervousness and fear. He simply laughed at this and gently clapped her shoulder squeezing it reassuringly. "Ami you were picked as me co-captain for a clear reason. You've got this. So have your usual confidence and show em why we're the champs. Win or lose we're still Hufflepuff and that means we always bring the unexpected!" He said to her reassuringly taking flight with the others.

When he got into position he looked around at the crowd, his team, and their opponents. Flashing a knowing grin, The tall bearded lad inhaled and let out a bellowing war-like cry. "Let's get this!!" He said with excitement and joy hoping that act would get his team pumped.

Jorah had been awake for far too long. The pregame jitters had disturbed the precious sleep he needed for today. Oh great, it's raining too. Tired and wet Jorah stepped onto the field. There were few things Jorah loved more than Quidditch, but even fewer things Jorah hated more than wet socks. Here goes nothing.

This was it.

This was Atlas' first game as Hufflepuff's first string Keeper. She had watched her team go undefeated last season and defeat Durmstrang in a brutal game that brought most of her team to the hospital. Now it was her turn to prove she deserved this position. To prove she was as resilient, fast and powerful as those that had come before her.

Waiting in the wings, Atlas could already hear the roar of the crowd as she turned her head slightly to see her best friend out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't believe he had only tried out at the beginning of the year and already he was first string seeker. She figured he was nervous or stressed about the impending game but his face was stoic and relaxed. A small smile appeared on her face as she turned her head forward inhaling deeply and exhaling as she felt her heart heavily sounding in her chest. Pulling her goggles down over her eyes, Atlas adjusted the straps til they were snug on her face; pulling her braid out from under them.

Kicking off on her broom, Atlas followed her team out onto the pitch as she took to the air, flying in formation. Rain poured down, immediately drenching her uniform as her clothes felt heavy on her body. Racing through the air, the rain felt like small daggers slicing at her face as she tried to clear her mind and prepare for the intense game ahead.

I love you rain but today?! Right now?!

Shaking her head, Atlas pulled from her team and made her way to the goalposts as she hovered in front of them, cocking her head from side to side as she tried to find her best friend through the downpour. Seeing him, Atlas leaned back on her broom slightly as she popped some comical finger guns at Ethen hoping it would help him relax and laugh before they had to switch into game mode.

"You got this...We got this...We got this." She convinced herself as she leaned forward on her broom ready to give this game her all.

ACTION: Lap around the pitch then getting into position and doing as strategized!

Keeper's Catch
Effect: 10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is in the goal area. If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may as a free action hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice (it would be recovered with a quaffle grab action) and treated like a bludger or pass the quaffle to a teammate. This must be declared by the Keeper if either of these free actions are to be utilized.

Ethen had entered the pitch without a care in the world. It might have been his first actual game of Quidditch but he was pretty confident in his teammates and knew they would be able wiggle and weave their way to the top. Ethen had been promised a platter of the finest desserts by Atlas if he made himself remotely useful. Remotely useful was his sweet spot, that fine line between utterly useless and a paragon of quidditch mastery. Ethen lived in the liminality of usefulness and was confident the snacks were as good as his.

As he readied himself, Ethen made sure to do his eye stretches to keep his peepers primed and ready. In quick intervals, Ethen opened both eyes as wide as they would go before relaxing them to their normal size. To an onlooker, it would appear that Ethen was being suddenly and perpetually surprised. But he couldn't care less how it might look, the technique would be the key to getting his eyes ready for their duties. His left eye, in particular, had been slacking in recent practices and he believed it was getting complacent. If the nonexistent fame was already getting to one of his eyes, there was no telling how fast his right would follow suit. This would be their first real test under the pressure and they seemed ready for the challenge.

The addition of the rain only made the day more exciting for Ethen. If he were to plummet to his doom, it would mean smashing into a puddle with more force than he had ever been able to generate on his own. He was pretty sure it would be a painful way to start the year if he was to be annihilated off of his broom but for the science of puddle evisceration, there would at least be new data to examine. He knew the clouds spewing on them might make finding the already elusive snitch that much more difficult but he was determined not to let his team down unless launched to his doom.

Taking up his position, Ethen continued his peculiar and likely useless eye stretching with growing anticipation. The rain that continued to careen into his eyes was of little consequence and Ethen scanned the pitch giving each of his teammates a slight bow of his esteemed head. Seeing Atlas move to her position, the girl squinted and drew two finger guns aimed in his direction. Acting as if he didn't see them. Ethen turned his head away before suddenly lurching it back around and drawing both of his finger guns on his teammate. "This town ain't big enough for the two of us Reid... But your time will come. We got business to attend to," Ethen mumbled under his breath. With finger guns drawn, the stalemate high noon duel was set and Ethen was ready to begin.

Here we go again. This was Lavinia 3rd season playing on her team and this was the year that they would win the house cup, she was sure of it. Today was the super wet and sloppy day that was to be there victory. It was their time and Lavinia knew that. She stepped out on to the field with determination that today was the day, her team was well trained for this and read to face the raining champs. She mounted her broom, getting soaked in the process and took a lap around the field for a little warm up. She looked at her captain Neculai and he nodded in agreement. The move was set and the game was about to begin and this time no one stood a chance.

Serena sighed. Of course, it had to be pouring down rain during the Quidditch game. She envied her cat Oliver, who was probably all snuggled up by the fire in the Hufflepuff Common Room. Still, the twelve-year-old (unfortunately) couldn’t control the weather, so she steeled herself and stepped out onto the pitch. Her gameday robes were immediately soaked through, and her long blonde hair began blowing in the wind.

Still, despite all of the bad weather, Serena was excited to play again. This would be her first full season on the team, and she wanted to make sure that their reputation as champions would be upheld. Serena had been practicing hard after the summer match and felt like she was ready to rise up to the challenge.

But she was also a bit anxious. After plummeting towards the ground last game, Serena hoped that that horrifying sensation wouldn’t happen again. Although, as she looked over and spotted Quinn, she was reminded that her injuries could have been much worse if it wasn’t for the half-giant taking the brunt of the fall. Serena gave him a quick smile before mounting her broom and taking the customary lap around the field.

Just as she finished, Serena realized that she had never gotten the chance to thank her captain for saving her. She made a mental note to find him after the game and fix that as she got into position.

Melissa was nervous...like really nervous even though there was nothing to worry about. She was the second string chaser for the Ravenclaw quidditch team, which means she might not even play unless if something happens to a first string chaser. Still excited for her first game, she sat down on a bench. It's probably for the best anyways, she thought. It was pouring rain and the ginger had never flown in rainy weathers before. Then, she focused back on the quidditch field where multiple players were getting ready. "Hope we win..." she muttered to herself.
