Final Foray Quidditch Slytherin v Ravenclaw

Hex Code #006400 - English #000080 - Spanish

Interacts With N / A Mentions Erin Ryan Nico Shymane Jorah Moussa and the game in general

Day Saturday Date May 1st 2021 Time N / A Weather Temperate, slightly overcast, a cool northern breeze ran through the pitch

As Cash took upon their position on the field; waiting for the game to begin, their green eyes scanned the spectator stand. With how many students attend for the last match of the school academic, who knew how many of the Second year friends attend this little match. As the blow of whistle being blew by the referee.

Cash focus their attention and zone in to the game. The Quaffle had been released signaling the game just begin, The purple haired stay put on their position. From where they are, both of their house Chasers managed to score not only once but thrice. Making the house of Serpent had that 30 points in the lead but since this was Quidditch, anything could happened.

Though Cash flew stationary, their eyes still sharp as ever. Waiting and watching for the metal ball of a death trap called as Bludgers. The young socialite had been assigned to defend their Captain if or when the little cannonball came at his way. But as they waited around, it seems both of the opposing Beaters opted to targeted their resident Dhampir instead Cash or Erin.

The second year watched Nico evaded both attempted flawlessly. Cash know that the red head was a decent Quidditch player. It proven with how many times Nico had save Cash in their previous matches. The Latinx person was too focused seeing Nico in action that they missed Erin sent one of the opposing team Beaters to the ground.

Once Cash noticed that Jorah was no longer riding his broom, a smirked etched on their face. Only Erin that was able to one - shot people and force them to get knocked off of their broom.
Cash hoping one day they can perform like Erin did.

Or perhaps Cash could approached and asked the older blonde haired Beater to give them some pointers how to be an excellent player and formidable one like her.

An excellent start. Dan was quite pleased with this. Already putting the screws to Ravenclaw.

Now. For the important part. Dan cleared his mind, and prepared. This was going to be a long, hard search for the snitch. As if he was fighting against the Orphan of Kos, all his senses would be tested, his reflexes and observation skills pushed to their limit. Truly, this was going to be one of the most difficult and taxing fights he had ever-

Oh look, there it is.

Dan had found the snitch the within moments of looking for it. This seemed....extremely familiar. He could have sworn that he had seen the snitch immediately in a game against Ravenclaw before...

"Well... Off we go, then lads."

Mentions: @Thomas LeStrange, @Jorah Moussa, @Cecily Quinn, @Valencia Deathstout, @Lavinia Cloven and @Dan Palmer.

LeStrange was polishing his broomshaft in public of all places. Lord, what she would not give to see his punk @$$ on the field dodging these bludgers. They were too busy keeping the first string upright to leave Tommy-boy the opportunity. It was likely for the best, she would have likely sent the bludgers his way rather than at the birds. A legal butt-kicking was far more enticing than a 'win.' A win where they what? Earned a bit of pride that would keep them high for a few hours, even days. A few house points to earn Slytherin prestige that seemed to attract all things dark and terrible. If anything, she had every reason to take Palmer out herself. Alas, while it would make a great 'priceless' tagline seeing Tom get a decent smackdown for once, she would tarry on.

Eyes on the prize... She scanned the field for her target. Some guy name Laura (Jorah). His parents probably hated him or were very confused. In their defense, babies were confusing, smelly, loud little creatures she lacked the inclination or patience to understand. He had a pleasant enough face, bloody damn shame really. She committed it to memory, someone would need to direct the reconstruction after he ends the day looking like a Picasso.

He was attempting to bat down one of her teammates but he fumbled for whatever reason. This was her opportunity, she tracked the bludger as it zipped over the field. A barreling disaster from the sky. A little back... a little more, she backed up her broom as out of the corner of her eye she saw a V formation of Ravenclaws headed straight at her.

"Oh no... the birds have taken flight..." she muttered. It was an expected move -- try to take her down before she mowed through their team one-by-one. Her attention divided, she almost forgot she was in line for the bludger as it wizzed in her direction. It was instinct rather than cleverness, the former she had in abundance unlike the later (I beat you to it Tom) that allowed her to escape the circumstances that would have resulted in her own defeat. The hard, resounding crack of wood against the profile of her bat, she launched the deadly projectile in Moussa's direction.

She would not have a chance to see the impact. It was three on one. the old Parkin’s Pincer. Cecily and Valencia would break ahead of Lavinia and flank her on either side. Erin would rattle her broom side to side, keeping her elbows wide, try to scare them off. She would gladly take a penalty for ripping one of the girls off their broom and flinging them to the ground if given the opportunity. "Almost a fair fight," she commented at the slanted fight. "Invite a few more, you might have a chance," she scoffed, attempting more to egg them on. She had a plan, something that would likely only work once (unless the dice love me twice).

When Lavinia came for her, the one left behind...

Erin would have a hard time seeing it, attempting to maintain some distance laterally so that she could round the pitch. So she would not crash head on into the stands if led astray. Through a veil of her own flaxen tresses that had escaped her hair binding she would see it. Well, her.

It was not until the last moment that she could act. Agitation rising as time seemed to slow. The power of anticipation was greater than any magic as senses are heightened, as time and perception change.

Close enough that she could smell her if she tried...

Then she would stop.

Yes, stop.

Stop in mid flight and plummet. Her her broom, still in her grip descend, her along with it. The familiar scene of the ground growing ever-closer, she would see the green field grow dangerously close. The grass was recently cut... No further. "Up!"

She would pull her broom upward with a violent shrug before she hit the ground, a near self-induced destruction to avoid one she could have maintained some dignity had she suffered. She would look up at the three of them and wonder, would the two that had not been called on the foul come for her again?

She would not have time to think about that. She needed to break someone else. Jorah was their greatest, most powerful threat and with him gone that would leave... She would look over the field, her head throbbing as she tried to use her brain in ways that it was not often used, and try to recognize their greatest asset.

Then she would see it, Palmer got the snitch already? That was impossible, ludicrous actually. That should not happen for at least another 10 rounds. "Palmer, I got your wall unless you want me to bat down another Beater. Every beater I get down is one less bludger sent your way" and every attempt on his life would result in a lap around the pitch... She was well-aware that Dan was going to be a priority target but he also had a full team at his disposal that would be capable of protecting him in her stead.

Action: As directed.

Previous round - attacked Jorah with a bludger (success) and he was knocked off his broom.
Parkins Pincer was attempted on Erin by Cecily Quinn, Valencia Deathstout and Lavinia Cloven (miss). If the description betrays how you want it to be roleplayed, I will be fine with an edit.

Percival could feel the beginnings of a headache as it pounded away on the inside of his skull. He idly wondered if he hadn't drunk enough water before the match. Despite the tension, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy watching the ravens getting splattered against the ground like the bugs they were. What better way to finish off the year strong, then to watch a couple of birds forget how to fly? Thankfully for them, it seemed that their flying was better then their playing. He wasn't too sure he would enjoy watching then make even more of a fool of themselves.

The referee blew their whistle and off they went. Well, her two Chaser colleagues atleast. Nico decided to stay more to the back, keeping her ice blue hues glued onto their Slytherin Seeker. Things were looking suprisingly fine until she felt something tingle within her neck. As if a small bug tried to wiggle itself a way under her clothes. Cautiously Nico turned her head to be faced with no harmless caterpillar but a blutcher soaring right at her. Slightly narrowing her eyes, as if she quickly calculated the best way to move around it, she swiftly flew out of the way, the ribbon in her hair curiously flapping in the wind as the Ravenclaw missed.
For a brief moment she met eyes with Gabriela and the dhampir could tell that this was the girls first time. Silly girl. If she wanted to shoot her out of the skies, she'd have to pick an easier target.

Barely recovered from this attack, soon another followed. Nico had never been targetted this many times before in any other game. It took her by surprise but not enough for her to lose her wits. Another Ravenclaw launched another Blutcher her way, and just in time, Nico managed to manoeuvre out of the way. She groaned softly, pulling strongly onto her broomshaft, steering it out of the way. She dodged it. Barely. Quickly recovering, Nico glanced over at Jorah and squinted slightly. Seemed she wasn't as invisible as she thought she was.

The game started quickly and ferociously. Ravenclaw was not going to sit idle this time, electing to go defensive and aggressive right away. This was to be expected though after their last match. Their captains, Cecily and Sylvian, were quite adept and had learned quickly how to adapt to each new team they faced. They were not to be underestimated, not in the least.

Electricity charged the field, the hairs on her arms raising. There was an undeniable aura that permeated the field, the result of playing with Dhamphirs. Thankful for Nico's presence on their team, Tyranni had begun to grow used to this feeling. There were still moments that this unsettling feeling would permeate through the armor she had built. Not this time, the young Chaser thought. Last match that aura had caused her to fail a few times, both with the quaffle and while sharing her broom with Dan.

A brown ball caught her attention. This was her moment. She had expected some sort of force from the other team to go against, but upon closing in towards the quaffle, she realized that the rival Chasers had pulled away as a unit, heading towards Erin. She was not surprised. Erin regularly had the largest target splayed on her back, but she couldn't let that distract her. Thora at her side, it did not matter who gained possession of the quaffle, but she still felt that drive. Possession of the first quaffle was hers! Green jersey flapping behind her, the number 13 emblazoned upon it, she sped as quick as she could toward the rival goals. Facing down the keeper, whose skill was proven a few times last match, she was un-phased. GOAL! Fist pumping in the air, her moment of celebration was only shadowed by louder screams coming from the stands. Turning, she saw Jorah falling to the ground. "WAY TO GO ERIN! BREAK HIS WINGS!" She knew it was unlikely Erin could hear her, but elated, she let this pride overcome her. How many times could a birds wings break before he could no longer fly?

The second quaffle was obtained by Thora, while Tyranni collected the third attempt, both girls easily scoring another 20 points for their team. Gathering herself for a moment, the slight breeze blowing back the small hairs around her face that had come free from her braid, she surveyed the field. One, two, three,... she counted. Slytherin was still at full force. As everyone reset for the start of the next play, she couldn't help but notice Dan, focusing with strong intent on something in the distance. Could it be? Could he have already spotted the snitch?

Sitting on the edge of his seat, Henry watched as the game unfolded before him. Having had to jump in at the last minute the previous game, he wanted to make sure he was really paying attention. Hopefully it didn’t happen again, but he had to be prepared for anything. Unfortunately, not long into the start of the game, Slytherin was already ahead and one of their players had been knocked off his broom. Well, this was starting out wonderfully. The player knocked off his broom wasn’t Henry’s first-string equivalent, though, so he remained where he was.

Sometimes it was difficult to see exactly what was happening, but Henry was trying very hard to keep up. He wanted to make sure he understood everything that was happening, so he was glad there was at least a commentator to help him keep up with what he might be missing. He wished he could be of more help, but he was grounded and had to simply watch.

Already, things seemed to be going well. Koko sat idly for the first few minutes of the game, taking her small chance to scour the Quidditch Pitch as it became clear that the Ravenclaw Chasers had other, less ethical, things to do.

The corner of Koko's lips quirked. And they said Slytherin cheated.

She watched as, in an impressive feat of agility, Nico avoided being hit with not one but two bludgers while Slytherin kept scoring points. What was this sudden surge of luck? Koko felt the need to tap lightly on her broom's handle so she wasn't jinxing anything, but instead, she sat there in awe as she watched Erin evade a very nicely done Parkin's Pincer.

What was happening? First, no Quaffle had even zoomed towards her. Then, it turned out that the Slytherin Chasers had made all three goals while one of them evaded two well-aimed bludgers. And then Erin had evaded a blatch? This was insane. It was too much to be a coincidence.

Koko glanced at Dan, raising an eyebrow. 'Is this part of the plan?' she mouthed as quickly as she could, hoping (and doubting) that she could catch his attention.

Slytherin had scored! Of course Alexx felt happy for her team, she was just more sad that she couldn't have been a part of that play. Alexx tapped on the bench with her broom and hollered at the sky, showing her appreciation, but she didn't feel the enthusiasm she was letting off. She sulked back down into her seat, moments later, absently watching the game. It was like she was there but also wasn't at the same time. Despite how happy she was for her team to get on the board first.

Rivers hopes of this being a better match than their previous games started to slowly fade out of existence as she looked around and realized this was going horribly for ravenclaw. Sure enough it was only the beginning of the game, but she had perhaps grown accustomed to not winning from all their losses in the past. Finding the snitch proved to be anything but easy theis game as well.Her eyes scanned the field, searching for the little golden glimt, but it was nowhere to be seen. She attempted to rid her mind of the thought of giving up. They had to keep trying, this was not the end, and there was still time to beat slytherin… hopefully.
