The end was drawing nigh. If the perpetually thickening darkness that enveloped player and spectator alike like the closing of a curtain wasn't indication enough, the encroaching sensation of dread surely would be. Some students may already have been trickling out of the stands early with the dismounting of the Slytherin captain, their minds made up already on how the match would end now that the snakes had lost both of their captains and all but two of their first string players. Ravenclaw had certainly risen from the ashes of their last season, opening this one with a brutal demonstration that they were not to be underestimated. At this point, as three new second string players—two Slytherin, one Ravenclaw—only a miracle would prevent Ravenclaw's eventual victory. But the battle wasn't yet over and even though the fresh faces on the field were green in the face of a live match experience, they were no doubt eager to prove themselves. The last stretch of the game was afootbroom.

───── Slytherin ───── Avery: Lifeguard priority Flash Dancelos: Blatch targeting River Alexx: Penalty lap no action

───────────── Results ─────────────

Once again, the quaffle would be left ignored. While Dancelos had experienced some great fortune with several uncontested points through unguarded Ravenclaw goal hoops, it seemed her efforts would be redirected elsewhere. With Flash fresh on the pitch and on the hunt for the snitch, priority evidently rested in eliminating the continued threat of Ravenclaw's primary seeker, River. At any moment, the closing of her fingers around the golden snitch would signal the end of the game and the loss of Slytherin's current point lead.

As Alexx veered off the center of the pitch to fly a lap of the perimeter seemingly of her own accord without the announcing voice even having to tell her, Lavinia and Cecily would be fresh of their own completed loops. They, too, would ignore the quaffle just as they had for the majority of the game, evidently committed to making their mark felt. Aware of what would be obvious attempts to take out each other's seekers, both teams would ensure the defensive play of a lifeguard. Newly inbound Winnie would begin to trail after River; while her counterpart, Avery, would harken after Flash.

───────────── Results ─────────────

Like a murder of crows, the eagles descended on the snakes, each honing in on a separate target. If they'd had it their way, Alexx would have been returning to an otherwise empty field—a lone fighter against a demon. Lavinia would pit herself against Dancelos, chaser versus chaser. More experienced in the air, and significantly more agile upon her broom, there was little competition. Dancelos was distracted, herself attempting to cut off River's advances on the snitch, charging for a blatch. The hunter would become the hunted, and despite a stunningly spectacular attempt to throw her aggressor, Lavinia would hit her mark.

"Gray!" The announcer would sound, spotting Dancelos' attempted blatch, "That's going to be a—" Words would cut off with the sound of a collision, any notion of a penalty for the novice Slytherin now a moot point as she tumbled broomless to the ground. "Cloven!" They would shout instead. "Penalty lap for blatching Gray!"

The crack of a bludger would drown out the trailing echo of the announcer's voice as Emma commanded control of a free bludger. Tearing a path through the rain, the bludger would mark a an arcing course straight for Erin. It seemed her backhand was just as deadly as her fore, no question at all regarding the accuracy with which the bludger was sent. Against a backdrop that practically matched the ball in colour and hue, it would all but disappear in its approach, no doubt some in the audience finding it difficult to track its progress. It would hit its mark. Its target would fall.

Only... Erin didn't fall. Somehow, miraculously, she managed to evade the incoming projectile. It was a testament to her unbridled skill in the air. She had the mark of a quidditch professional, and the snap of her bat against the bludger signalled her ability to take advantage of the situation, turning a would-be assault into a bludger delivery system for her benefit. Suddenly she had ammunition again, and she wasted no time in sending it right back at the heart of the Ravenclaw team: their seeker. Once again, however, the bludger would fail to hit its mark. The accuracy was just a bit off, and River and Aly managed to slip by its influence, unbothered and still very firmly seated upon their shared mount.

Erin wasn't the only beater hunting for a seeker's demise, however. As Emma and Erin ping-ponged their bludger, broombreaker Jorah tracked down the second remaining bludger and took possession. A mighty wing of his bat would send it careening towards Slytherin's vulnerable second-string seeker. Flash, fresh off the bench and unbroken on his broom, would be the unfortunate victim. He wasn't yet familiar with the practical aspect of balancing the hunt with survival. He hadn't yet felt the bite of iron. But he would. The bludger would hit him like a tonne of bricks, the weight behind the impact more than enough to cut through his relatively meagre defences. There would be no satisfying splintering of a broom, but the damage would be done regardless. Jorah had snuffed Flash's consciousness.

There might still have been a sliver of hope. Avery had been hot in pursuit, careful to match Flash's every move and directive for just such an event. Prepared to catch the seeker in case he fell, the young Slytherin would dive for the save. But as swift as his fingers might dance across the strings of his violin, the same mastery would not be mirrored upon his broom. What was worse... Ravenclaw had anticipated his action. Rather than Flash, it would be Cecily whose path he would cross; and as it had been her intent, she would be prepared for the collision, and he would not. With practiced ease, the upperclassman would throw her weight against him, bracing for the impact. And once again, the eagle would sore as the snake fell to its earthy bed.

"Penalty lap, again, Quinn!" The shout of the announcer would offer little comfort to those sporting green and silver. Slytherin was now down to their last two remaining players.

───────────── Results ─────────────

In place of Dan, Slytherin would see their aspiring second string seeker, Flash, taking the reins. Known for his quick wit and sharp eye, there would be no question as to how he had earned this role on the team, and now he would finally be able to put that talent on display. Helped by the fact that Dan and River had been so heavily on its trail, Flash would have little trouble picking out the faint glint of gold between sheets of unrelenting precipitation. But there is a stark difference between theory and execution; between visualizing a goal and obtaining it; between awareness as a tertiary spectator, and keeping track of one's surroundings in the heat of the moment. Keen of eye he might have been, but Flash was still honing his skill of flying. Unhelped by his broom, which was not the swiftest of those at play, his movements simply weren't deft enough to avoid the incoming bludger. From grey to gold to black... Flash's vision would dim with the impact; his flight, a short one.

Now astride the broom of Ravenclaw keeper, Aly, River would have to recover from her last attempt to dive after the snitch. Resuming the chase, the duo wove in and out of the chaos, a target painted brightly above their heads despite the din and dark. No fewer than two players would have their eyes set upon them. Dancelos burst through the pelting rain with every intent to knock the duo from their broom, while Erin smashed in a bludger close behind her. Through sheer will or some environmentally defying situational awareness, Aly and River would manage to defy them both, dodging nimbly out of the way. Despite the apparent failures of those attacks, however, they would be no less effective in preventing River from completing her goal. Forced to veer off course, the snitch would once again keep itself well beyond her reach.

Another cheat, another penalty lap. Cecily angled her broom towards the perimeter of the pitch, but not without a glimmer of pride. In herself, in her team. Perhaps saying it confidently enough had made it come true: this was Ravenclaw's year. This was Ravenclaw's time to win. As Slytherin's meager remaining team faced Ravenclaw's full field of players, Cecily would be astonished if the snakes made a comeback. After all, snakes didn't belong in the sky, but eagles did. Birds preying on a natural quarry. Victory was upon them-- the first win since Cecily's very first match in her second year. Her first win as Captain. She would almost feel a pang of sympathy for Slytherin's decimated team if that hadn't been Ravenclaw just a year ago... and if winning didn't feel so damn good.

See it was quite nice riding on the back of someone else's broom. All River really needed to worry about was keeping her eyes on the snitch and communicating this to her teammate. Though she did miss being able to steer her own broom to her heart's desire. But hitching a ride wasn’t all bad.

River wasn’t happy to notice Flash was now onto the snitch. She’d hoped the change in seekers would give them a little extra time, but it looks like the competing chase was on again.
The threat was short lived, as River barely caught a glimpse of Flash being sent to his doom shortly after entering the field. She knew his pain though, as she’d experienced a five second game before being knocked off her broom too. At least now she wouldn’t have to feel the pressure of another seeker on the field, but this didn’t reduce her chances of being an appealing target for future beaters of course…

River took a breath and kept on actively keeping Aly updated on the location of the golden ball, as they zoomed past incoming bludgers and she barely felt the rain pour down heavily on her clothes which were already drenched. At this point she was too focused on catching this damn snitch.

The match was going on and both teams were doing their best. They were ahead on the leaderboard, now Dancelos had to help the informant, after all, she couldn't score an empty goal forever. Ravenclaw seemed to have changed tactics, one for each player. They were trying to overthrow the Slytherins. There was also someone behind Dancelos, she had to both dodge her and impede the other seeker. It passed with a bit of chasing through the air. The next player, apparently, was experienced, but Dancelos seemed to have eluded her.It was then time to block the other seeker, she quickly went towards her and tried to take her down, but the veteran player did not fall. Then a voice came, it was noticed.
+RUBBİ--
Then there was another big explosion. The player behind her hit her and managed to knock her down. Dancelos fell on the wet grass and tell another curse. Disgrace! How could she be so careless after watching so many Quidditch matches? Ravenclaw had increased the number of eliminations while Dancelos was pulling her hair out in anger. Only two remained.
Now there were only two remaining Slytherins.

One, two. Wait, this doesn’t feel real.

Two

That was all. Only two flying snakes left, one beater, and one chaser, versus the angry birds. If that would not be enough to take the trophy back to the dorm, she will quit quidditch and do motogp with a broom immediately. And probably send both Captain Celly and Co Captain Sylvie a chocolate bar every single day to make sure they won’t be furious with that decision. But, that would happen if the Ravenclaw lost the match. If not, she will be there forever and ever.

Fresh off her penalty lap, Lavinia was ready to knock out some more snakes. Watching her target go for River and Aly angered Lavinia but luckily her blatch didn’t work. Not really caring if she was seen, Lavinia full on blatched the younger girl, sending her to ground. Cheering to herself, Lavinia heard a call for another penalty lap and went on her way. This game really could work out for them. Watching her teammates moves, Lavinia saw two more snakes heading to the ground, one of them being their seeker. This was incredible, they were actually going to win for the first time in 2 years.

Emma raised her bat in salute to Jorah, her original partner, and thanked him as she flew by looking for the next bludger. Their team was dwindling fast, with Slytherin's seekers out of the way, it was going to be smooth sailing as she casually worked along with her teammates to close up the game.

Finally, she saw it. Not the snitch, River was already working on that. It seemed like the iron was coming right for her, but she turned and swung with all her might. The pulse in her ears was extremely loud, but the Ravenclaw continued to push on, tracking the bludger as it rapidly approached Erin. It would collide with their beater and she'd join her team's injured reserve list. Completely positive of her thoughts, the beater kept her head in the game waiting for the impact to sound and the announce to call out another falling player.

Though it never came.
