Day of Rain Quidditch Ravenclaw v Hufflepuff

Pale fingers nimbly fastened the belts on his gloves. Today was the start of the new quidditch season and Neculai had been looking forward to it. Not only was he excited to play again, but over the summer he had gotten a gift from his parents. A new broom and not just any. But a Silver Arrow. His parents hadn't looked after the amount of money they'd be spending on it. No, Neculai had earned it. Getting O's was very rewarding. As he took his new broom, for which he was eager to test it out during a game, determination sat on his face. Hufflepuff... A worthy opponent. Last time made a swift victory, but this time Neculai was determined to win against them.

Sludge Sludge Sludge. Was the sound his boots made as he made his way through the dirt of the pitch. "Come on Ravens, let's show Hufflepuff what house was destined to dominate the skies!" At that Neculai mounted his Silver Arrow and flew in position.

Day of Rain Quidditch Ravenclaw v Hufflepuff
As if Rohan wasn't busy yet with school and everything, now he had also quidditch to be busy with! He didn't mind, really. He was extremely hyped for his very first game of his very favourite sport. He wished himself the best of luck and took his position. All of the other players were a lot bigger than him and he felt nervous, knowing that the bludger could strike really hard... At least he had his quickness. He'd (hoped he could) just evade the bludgers if they would come too close. The rain wasn't in their advantage, and with all this 'other-school audience' it didn't make his nerves any better...

Being nervous as heck, doing a small lap and getting into position.
[font=century gothic]
[font=century gothic]Today was going to be great.
Lucille tried to remind herself.

They were playing Hufflepuff, the best team Hogwarts had last year that also singlehandedly defeated Durmstrang, but still, Ravenclaw would have to win right?

Getting onto the Quidditch Pitch only made Lucille a bit more terrified, though the moment she got onto her broom the freedom of flying prevailed over her.

Doing a small lap around the pitch, she got off once again and looked to her teammates.

'Lets do this.'

Being called up to play with Ravenclaw's quidditch team was an unexpected surprise for the second year Ravenclaw. His disappointment at being denied a place on the dueling team had left him in a sour and brooding mood the entire week, one that had begun to affect his studies. The good news about his acceptance onto the quidditch team, however, reversed that mood entirely. He now had a new challenge to overcome, new skills to focus upon, and an entirely new topic to study. He was going to enjoy every minute of it.

In no time at all the day of his first match came. He was on the bench as the second-string keeper but that did not bother him. After all, he had barely attended a practice before the match. This would be a good opportunity to observe how the team played against the champions with the bonus of staying out of the pouring rain.

Clapping his gloved hands together, he shouted out. "Let's go Ravenclaw!"

The announcer strode up to his commentator's box. It was pouring rain, but thankfully, his box was sealed and immune to the rain. He ran his hand through his brown hair, and plastered his adorable grin on his face as he took the mic.

"Welcome, welcome everyone, to the Ravenclaw vs Hufflepuff match! Is it rainy enough out there for ya?!"
He paused.
Good ta hear it! I'm your host and resident hermoso diablo, Leo Vasquez, and I'll be bringing you the play by play as it happens! Here come our teams! The clever birds, and our Champion Badgers! Word is, that Hufflepuff DEMOLISHED Durmstrang in their match! Lets see if they can keep their win streak going! Or, will Ravenclaw dethrone them?! Leeeets find out!"

The referee came out onto the field, and tossed the Quaffle into the air, and the game began.

And there's our favorite Flying professor! I'm sure I'll remember your name eventually! The Quaffle is up, and the chaos begins!"

Neculai:


Unsettling Aura has activated. Aaron auto-fails his score attempt.


The Hufflepuff chasers went after the Quaffle immediately.

And Hufflepuff takes an early advantage and grabs the Quaffle! But.. Ravenclaw didn't even try to... Hey guys, you know you need the Quaffle to score points, right? Oh wait, whats this?"
Cecily and Lavinia closed in on either side to try to Body Blow Annie, but, it seems they weren't as coordinated on the first go, as Annie had no trouble slipping out of it. Furthermore, they failed so badly, that the two of them got too close together, and shared their first kiss right in front of the whole school.
Oh, and it's a Body Blow Maneuver! Will little Annie be able to- Oh yeah. She totally did. Well tha- WHOA!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, Niños and Niñas, it appears that Cecily Quinn and Lavinia Cloven are having a make-out session on the field!! Guess you could say they're a couple of- 'Love birds'!!"

Annie went for the shot, but Rohan's full body block prevented a goal.
"And the Ravenclaw Keeper, stretching his body to the limit prevents Annie from scoring! And Annie avoids a nut-shot like a true lady! I'm sure Rohan is thankful for that!"

The two Hufflepuff chasers went for the Quaffle again, but Annie suddenly got chills from looking at Neculai, and failed to grab it. Aaron however, felt no such thing.

Whoa! Some unseen force prevented Annie from getting the Quaffle! Aaron Jones has it, and off he goes!

Cecily and Lavinia closed in again, and this time the body blow was successful! Aaron had the Quaffle taken from him by Cecily!

"And here come the body blowers! Oh... that sounded weird...But, OH!! The Body Blow worked! Cecily has blo-eeehhh, Cecily has stolen the Quaffle from Aaron! She's heading toward the goals!!"

Cecily turned to score, then faked Atlas out and threw the Quaffle in.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!! Cecily Quinn has scored! 10 points to Ravenclaw! The Ravens take an early lead!!!
....Huh? Eagles? Their house is named RAVENclaw... whatever."


The Chasers went after it again, and this time, Aaron got the chills from Neculai, and Annie got the Quaffle again.
OH, and it seems that Aaron has got the willies!....Again with the sounding weird...Whatever, point is Annie Morgan has the Quaffle!"

Cecily and Lavinia came in for a body blow yet again, and once again wrenched the Quaffle away.
And here comes the Body Blow Brigade! Can Annie- Nope I guess not! Cecily has the Quaffle again, and there she goes toward the goals!"

Atlas however, was having none of that this time. Cecily threw the Quaffle, but Atlas leapt from his broom, flipped, caught the Quaffle in the crook of his ankle, and sent it rocketing back away from the goal posts, landing on his broom with both feet, and an epic pose. Even more amazing, when he sent the Quaffle rocketing away, he aimed it perfectly to where Aaron was going to be at that EXACT moment, so Aaron caught it and made for the goals!
But, Neculai's invisible powers caused him to freeze up, and he threw an easily blocked shot at the goals. Rohan, needless to say, blocked it.
"WHOAAA! Dios Mio!!! Atlas pulling some anime mierda and DENIES Cecily's goal HARD. Guess Atlas- 'Shrugged' off that failure from before! And he kicked it RIGHT to Aaron! And he's going to score and-.... What happened? He just-... Well, Rohan blocked it, regardless!"[/color]




Keepers


Reducio
Rohan does his best Patrick Star impression throughout the whole round, and successful defends his goals.

Atlas misses a block, but successfully blocks a shot afterward with incredible skill and flair!!.

"Lemme tell ya, these are some TOP notch Keepers! And speaking of keepers, We have merch on sale out by the entrance! Get yourself something to remember your time here with-
The hell do you mean we don't have merch? What the hell kinda cheap-ass Quidditch Pitch doesnt have-
Okay so we dont have any, but, I'm gonna start a petition to have Quidditch merch for sale. Like, for God's sake, we have people from other schools, and other COUNTRIES here today! Lets get some Hogwarts Quidditch Merch going!!

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.


Reid Kovacs sends a bludger flying to meet Neculai!
19+12=31+1 crit chance! Criticl Success! Double Damage!


Neculai tries to dodge!

Reid nails Neculai with a bludger!

(O.O) taken from 1300 hp!

Reid knocks Neculai off his broom!!

Jorah tries to make Reid kiss a bludger!
9+10=19


Reid tries to dodge!
18+12=30

Reid dodges the bludger like a bawss! No Bludger cooties for him!


Lucille Willaims tries to defeat the Giant Quinn Healy with a sling! Except the sling is a bat! And the stone is a large iron ball!
9+7=16


Quinn tries to do the thing where he dodges!
7+5=12


Lucille bashes Quinn with a bludger!
6 str= 600 damage- 20% due to Quinn being a part giant=480 damage!!!
taken from 1700 hp, leaving Quinn with 1220 hp!

The Beaters finally had some targets ready to go. First to hit one was Jorah, aiming for Reid's face. but, Reid dodged with remarkable grace.

"Jorah Moussa is the first to hit a Bludger today! I dunno about you guys, but I sure could go for some Chocolate Mousse-a right now! But- OH, Reid Kovacs dodges like a champion!! Sweet moves, dude!"

Then Lucille hit one in retaliation to hit Quinn. The bludger slammed into him but she didn't knock him off his broom.

Lucille hitting a bludger! Going right to Quinn- Aaaah! The big guy couldn't get outta the way in time! But... to be honest, it doesnt look like it hurt all THAT much. I guess Quinn Healy isn't Hufflepuff's Iron Wall Badger for nuthin'!

The last bludger hit was by Reid Kovacs. It was hit so hard, that the resulting, almost deafening crack resounded across the entire pitch. But, it was a far off shot, and where it went wasn't immediately obvious...

"And Reid Kovacs is the last to smash!...Weird again... But... where did it go??"



Seekers


Reducio
Ethan Emrys attempts to find the Snitch!
Keen Eye has activated. Rolls 1-10 are a success.
Roll was- (drumroll) 61!

Keen Eye has failed.

Ethan attempts to find the Snitch normally! (Snitch DC is 23)
14+8=22. Ooooh..... Thats gotta hurt.

Ethan fails to locate the Snitch.


Neculai Dragos Lazar III Esquire attempts to find the Snitch!
Keen Eye has activated. Rolls 1-10 are a success.
Roll was- (drumroll) 22!

Keen Eye has failed.

Neculai attempts to find the Snitch Normally!

2+11=13!

Neculai has failed to find the Snitch.

Neculai gets knocked off of his broom by Reid Kovacs, but is saved by Miranda Cosgrove Everest! Neculai is now hitching a ride on Miranda's broom!


Meanwhile, the Seekers were trying in vain to find the snitch. The lack of sunlight was certainly not helping, as there was nothing for the gold to glint in, and the rain heavily hampered visibility. Ethan would hear the telltale buzzing of the snitch RIGHT beside his head, but when he turned to look, the snitch, and the buzzing, had vanished.

And the Seekers trying and failing to find the snitch right away! Not that I blame them, it's not easy to see what the hell is going on even from in here! I can't imagine what it must be like out there!"

Then, out of nowhere, it was obvious where Reid's bludger went, as it smashed into Neculai with such an incredible force, it probably shattered the entire left side of his upper body. God only knows what that did to what was NOT his bones... That poor boy would be coughing up blood for quite some time until he got to the medics. And the fall certainly wouldn't help matters-
Except. That Miranda caught him. Despite his severe injuries, Neculai was forced to continue.

"HOOOOLY SHIT!!! What the hell have you been eating, Kovacs?! That sounded like a cannon going off, and probably felt like being hit by one!! Christ, I felt that from here!
Down Neculai goes! Hes-
OOOHHH, and the save by Miranda Everest! Neculai Lazar is still in the game!! But... is he gonna be able to continue with injuries like that?!"

Howard stood near the bench as the rain pelted down on them. With broom in one hand and the other on his hip, he wore a stoic look upon his face as he waited for the match to begin. This laser focus wouldn’t last for long as a familiar voice called out above the crowd. Here we go, Whitey! Howard would recognize the face of Thomas Lestrange as he turned to see who called to him. A brief fantasy would quickly flash through his mind. He kicked off on his broom, bolting towards the stands with claws outstretched. A wicked laugh escaped his lips as Thomas’ shredded form fell to the ground below. It was a sweet dream, but the blast of a whistle would bring it to a quick end. Settling for the quick flash of his middle finger and smile that said anything but “thanks buddy!”, Howard turned his attention back to the pitch.

The first moments of the match would come with ups and downs. Howard would cheer as the chasers battled it out for the Quaffle and Hufflepuff would seem to take the early advantage. However, the groans of defeat would soon follow as their scoring attempts failed. “Nice one, Atlas!” Howard urged on his fellow keeper as she allowed one goal but expertly blocked the second scoring attempt.

The crack of a beater’s bat would draw Howard’s attention away from the chasers. He winced as Quinn took a hit, but it was more like throwing a spit ball at someone as he tanked the damage. “Hell yeah, Reid!!” Howard bellowed as the bludger swept Neculai clear off his broom. “Keep it up you guys!” He cheered on his teammates as the next round of action was about to begin.

The game was on, and right from the get-go it seemed as if ravenclaw had their bearings together quite well. The referee had some interesting comments through the match, but River had no attention turned on him. She had her eyes glued to a certain person, who would be the variable deciding whether River would be needed on the field or not. Neculai. He didn’t seem to have noticed the snitch yet, but as she glanced at the hufflepuff seeker, he didn’t look like he was onto it either.
As River turned her gaze to the players who had the quaffle, she heard the referee exclaim something that sent her attention straight back to the seekers. She quickly stood up from her seat with her heart beating loud in her ears as her eyes met a falling Neculai. Heading right for the ground. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, Miranda saved him from the impending doom of hitting the ground. River sat back down letting out a heavy sigh of relief. Perhaps he could keep playing, though he didn’t look too good, he was still in the game and River would continue to keep an eye in his direction.

Doing his absolute best to block out the jeers and taunts from one @Thomas Baines in the stands, Eli's attention remained on the game, and more specifically, @Reid Kovacs. It hadn't taken the boy long to go from wanting to punch Reid to realizing that the two of them shared the same position on the quidditch field and perhaps there were things to be learned, after all, he was on the field and Elias wasn't. As the game began it didn't take long for Reid to absolutely obliterate Neculai and it was at this point that the young Ravenclaw turned his attention away from the boy. Perhaps it was his glaring that had him in such a horrifically angry mood. Thankfully, Neculai was caught, but it was quite a close call and Eli could only imagine the pain that the poor boy was in. That bludger had been absolutely flying.

Not wanting to be potentially responsible for Reid murdering yet another poor and unsuspecting Ravenclaw, Elias did his best to spend the rest of the match looking just about everywhere but at the Hufflepuff boy. It was during this time in fact that he took note of the comedic genius of their commentator, it half reminded him of some of the things his ROBLOX friends would say. Letting out a small chuckle, the boy continued his study of the match.

Day of Rain Quidditch Ravenclaw v Hufflepuff
After her lap around the field, Ami settled herself onto the bench, cheering and whooping loudly as her teammates took off. "Come on, Quinnie, you've got this! Kick some ass!" she screamed, the half-giant being her closest friend on the team. Internally, she wondered just what her other teammates thought of her; the benched co-captain who could only scream and cheer from the sidelines. Shuffling her feet nervous in the grass, Ami perked up slightly as she heard Rosie cheer her on.

Grinning at the shorter Hufflepuff, she added on, "And I'm sure you'll do great- I mean, obviously, I'm hoping that Annie, Aaron, and Serena will be fine but... well, we've been practicing really hard, right? We'll be fine." Wringing her hands in her lap slightly, she muttered under her breath, "We'll be fine..."

Glancing further along the bench, Ami offered Howard a tentative smile. It had been... wow, probably years since the two had actually had a conversation, hadn't it? Clearing her throat slightly as she was going to say something, even just a simple hello, her thoughts were interrupted as she heard him cheer for their team, and her mind flashed back to their task at hand. Right... they had a game to win.

Ami's jaw dropped open in shock and surprise as she watched Cecily and another chaser body blow both Annie and Aaron. Shooting to her feet, she screamed, "OH, SCREW YOU CECILY! NO, %$&# YOU! THAT WAS UNCALLED FOR!" Clearly fuming at her best friend's underhand tactics, Ami plopped back down on the bench, folding her arms across her chest. Her stormy expression only cleared as she watched Reid knock Neculai clean off his broom. "Oh, dip..." she muttered, her dark eyes watching closely as the Ravenclaw Seeker fell through the air. "Damn, Kovacs."
