Yet another failed attempt to secure the Quaffle - Emma, luckily, managed to snag it before everyone else, and scored once more for Pitch Please. Henry, from the other team, got it the other two times, but miraculously, was not able to score for either of those attempts. Secretly giddy and exuberant, Everly would grin, taking a moment to observe what was going on with the other players. She would wince at the sight of Starlee going down, provided by the lovely Kage, and then Opeila and Starlee taking a hard hit, provided by the lovely Nicholas. Everly was happy that she had yet to be attacked by one of those nasty balls - they must certainly hurt more than those spells that she was used to - and she felt bad, to be honest, for thinking that thing, especially because how much it definitely hurt. Everly didn't miss the fact that the other team's Beaters had stopped aiming at Aurora. Interesting. Had she missed some obvious Quidditch tactic, or were they planning something?

Hearing yelling across the field, Everly's eyes would train themselves upon Aurora and Gia, who were both speeding along. Everly couldn't say she knew exactly what they were yelling from such a distance, but it was something important - the Snitch. As naïve and new to playing Quidditch as Everly was, even she could tell what this meant. Things were about to get a lot more interesting.

Now that the strategy has changed, as every move led to an action and changing strategy, Emma was now focusing on the quaffle. She looked little on her broom, as she was always kind of smaller than everyone. But she doesn't mind, indeed, and in this present game, she was scoring. Which means that she was of a great help to her team and teammates. Her face was still open and full of her joy. Yes, she was very joyfull!

Even though she was playing for fun, she meant every move and every look around her. And even though she was happy (as she never was) she gave dark looks at the adversity; kind of ignoring Kage. Well, she wasn't ignoring her, but she paid attention to don't look at her to avoid giving her an adversory look she may not appreciate. She had kind of competition spirit, due to her numerous brother and the way they always challenged her. She missed them, still, she was standing on her broom, the wind blowing off her face, and couldn't allow herself to think about them. And especially not when she catch the Quaffle and flight to the hoop in order to score. What apride to score again!

Ana watched the game, biting her lip as her thoughts wandered. Hollythorn was evidently down by 20 points, but it was still early. She was the only one benched for her team, which was a pity. If this were an official match, there would be benched players for each position and she would have some company. Although, it would be interesting to see what happened as players were knocked out of the game. Normally, when a player was dismounted, they were replaced and there weren't empty positions until the end of the game if at all. Now though, if a player was taken out, it was more likely than not that there was nobody to replace them. Ana couldn't imagine that playing while missing a player or more than one would be remotely pleasant. It was inconvenient enough when players were sharing a broom, but actually losing people would surely be more of a problem, were it to happen.

The snitch appeared to be spotted, based on the flight maneuvers of both teams' seeker, although Ana couldn't be certain from where she was. That was promising. Dark eyes trained on the spectacle before her, she leaned forward to get a better few. If she had thought ahead, she would have brought her omninoculars, alas...

MODERATION

Ami gently cracked her neck up in her eagle's nest of a commentator box, relishing in her bird's eye view of the proceedings below. "Murray with the quaffle... scores! Pitch Please with 30!" she called out as the lithe little first year weaved her way past all the bodies on brooms, tossing the Quaffle past Keeper Moon. "Knight breaks away and- ah, drops it, RIP. Oh, oh, oh, he's- ah, never mind. Get some gloves, kid!" she added as Henry, unfortunately, fumbled the Quaffle twice on his way towards the goalposts. On the other hand, it seemed as though all the Beaters were out for blood, which interested Ami, a Beater herself, far more than anything else on the pitch.

"Collins is gunning for Suzuki with a clean little backbeat there, and- holy wow, what a hit. Glad she's not on the actual team, y'know?" It seemed that the other Pitch Please beater, Starlee, was a little dazed and out of it from her previous feats of evasiveness, missing the bludger entirely. This would also prove to be her downfall, however, as Suzuki would swiftly nail her with a bludger, knocking her from her broom. "Player down, player down!" Ami yelled, getting to her feet in shock. "Suzuki's knocked Kennedy and- OH, what a save by Winters!" Opeila had caught her teammate, although Nicholas was able to hit them with a bludger of his own soon after. "McCowan finally hits a target! Good on ya, kid."

Finally, it seemed that both the Seekers had spotted the snitch- at least, they had both gotten that gleam of I want it in their eyes that Ami recognized from Hufflepuff's own seeker, Ethen Emrys. "Both seekers seemed to have spotted something," she warned, grinning in anticipation. Things were about to get spicy!

CHASERS

JAMES automatically gets the Quaffle all three times, as no one else is going for it.

KEEPERS

R1	TP | [d100:19] Automatically scores.
R2	TP | [d100:5] Fumbles the Quaffle.
R3	TP | [d100:79] Automatically scores.

Reminiscient of Hufflepuff's previous game against House Slytherin, it seemed that all the members of both teams had forgotten about the Quaffle- that is, except for one Mr. James Holling. The youngster Keeper broke away from his position at the goalposts, snatching up the Quaffle in his grasp. With no Keeper guarding Hollythorn's goals, he was able to toss the Quaffle through with ease, although some eye contact with Aurora seemed to send shivers down his spine as the Quaffle hit the metal of the goalposts with a clang. "That's 10... another 10... 50 points for Pitch Please!"

BEATERS + CHEATERS

Pericles, Rose, and Everly are on lifeguard duty.

OPEILEE v KAGE: BACKBEAT

KAGE v AURORA: BLUDGER

INIATIVE | [d100:7] TP | [d100:53]

KAGE | [d20:16]+5=21 AURORA | [d20:18]+7=25

It was rather apparent that the focus of this round was bloodshed. Seated on the back of Opeila's broom, Starlee would tighten her grip on her bat and send a bludger flying towards Kage- Pitch Perfect seemed adamant about getting the Gryffindor Beater off her broom. Unfortunately for the Slytherin duo, the bludger would fly wide, and Suzuki would escape unscathed.

From team Hollythorn, Henry had abandoned his Quaffling duties and opted for a more ruthless approach, barreling towards Opeila and Starlee with a clear intent. "Oi, ref!" Ami called towards Cecily, waving her arms wildly as she jumped up and down. "Foul, foul! Yellow flag, red card!" she screamed wildly. [Cecily will call the foul in her post, but Henry gets to take a penalty lap.] But while Ami was busy screaming her head off, it seemed that Nicholas would take the opportunity to lock broom handles with Aurora, steering her off her chasing course, going completely unnoticed by Cecily, who was undoubtedly busy yelling at Ami to shut the hell up.

Bridget would once again ready her bat, having already proven her quite scary prowess with the wooden weapon, but after a quick glance towards Aurora, it seemed that she was too spooked to be effective. Kage would attempt to knock the spooky seeker off her seat as well, but her bludger would narrowly miss Aurora. Peri, Rose, and Everly would hang by on the sidelines, checking to make sure none of their teammates fell from their brooms. Luckily, their services would not be needed this time.

SEEKERS

Catching DC is 21.

AURORA ALLEY OOP | [2d20: 15, 2]+7=9

Although Violet seemed fully prepared to Alley Oop the pants off of Gia, the Gryffindor seeker seemed a little distracted with everything that was going on, and the two girls would simply hang in the air, side by side. On the other hand, Emma and Aurora would execute an Alley Oop- or, at least, attempt to. Whether it was the lack of experience between the two girls or Nicholas's dirty handle-locking earlier, Aurora would not get any closer to getting her hands on the Snitch.

SCORE

PITCH PLEASE 50 points

HOLLYTHORN 10 points

Mentioning : Starlee, Opeila, ami, cecily
Pitch Please! (Team 1) and Hollythorn (Team 2)

The excitement from spotting the snitch made Aurora so determined to win the match, occasionally glanced towards Opeila and Kennedy to make sure they are really fine after getting hit with a nasty bludger. She was a bit shocked when a boy from the Hollythorn aggressively flew in their direction. It was clear that he intended to kill them without mercy. “HEY! BACK OFF! THOSE ARE MY FRIENDS!” They were not particularly friends, but she would love to befriend them after the match. It seemed like the Hufflepuff quidditch captain noticed his illegal action.

Before she could go back to her snitch grabbing situation, a bludger ferociously tried to knock her off. If Aurora were not quick enough to notice the flying death ball, the hospital wing would be her next destination. “WHOEVER THAT WAS, I WILL BONK YOUR HEAD WITH A BLUDGER MYSELF AFTER THIS!” Then she turned her head to the boy that attempted to blatch Opeila earlier."THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, KNIGHT! I THINK THAT'S YOUR NAME! BUT IF IT'S NOT THEN I AM SORRY!"

Something was definitely off with her broom and she felt it. When the Ravenclaw tried to find out what was going on, another Hollythorn did something that probably against the quidditch rule. "HEY!" Aurora did not know his name, and it might be useless to scream out whatever he just did when both quidditch captains were busy handling Knight's foulplay. "YOU WILL GET THE BONK AS WELL YOU HOLLYTHORN BEATER!" That, combined with her inexperienced Alley Oop attempt with Murray, made her fail miserabily to catch the snitch, not even close. She felt horrible for not be able to snitch grab in her first attempt. Aurora looked at Murray and said “Sorry!”, not sure if she heard it or not. The amateur seeker wouldn’t take it to her heart if Murray did not reply to her apologize as the quidditch pitch is not a place to communicate with each other.

Ana continued to watch the game, her thoughts beginning to drift. Evidently, her own team was no longer interested in the Quaffle and was devoting all of their resources towards other pursuits. A rather terrifying-looking bludger flew towards one of Hollythorn's chasers but didn't make contact. One of Hollythorn's other chasers attempted a blatch, which unfortunately was unsuccessful. Missed blatches were always a pity - not only was the target still in the game, but the blatcher was still generally penalized. Ami was flailing and shouting and jumping about, in other words, behaving the same as normal and Ana watched with interest.

When Ana's attention turned back to the game, it struck her as odd that the other team's seeker was completely off course, but she wasn't certain why. Gia apparently zoned out or something, since she was simply floating there. "Gia, you've got to catch the snitch once you've spotted it, love," Ana called loudly. "Hop to it!" Hollythorn wasn't doing well in terms of Quaffle points, which meant that for the moment, their hopes of victory rested upon the Snitch. That happened more games than not, so Ana would continue shouting at Gia in a rather pathetic attempt to help out since she couldn't take flight yet.
