Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw Jan 2022
In spite of inclimate weather, it had been snowing for the past 2 days, leaving a heavy blanket of snow on the ground, spectators from the four houses had already congregated into the stands. Bundled in winter wear, they anxiously awaited the spectacle that would be the second Quidditch match of the school year. Last week, students witnessed the first Broom Racing match of the year and the carnage magical sporting events offered, a bit cruel some might suggest as there were likely more than a few that were in the stands watching to see what could go wrong. There were however more spectators there for the sake of house pride, bright banners emblazoned with their house crest held by a small group of peers. A few would wave their colored scarves as a statement of house superiority.Match: Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw
Moderated by: @Ami Procoppio
Date: Saturday, January 15, 2022
Time: 12 Noon
The teams would wait until the last possible moment to leave the warmth of their locker rooms and take flight around the perimeter of the pitch. First house Gryffindor was announced, a favorite for the year due to their successes the previous season, they might have their work cut out for them as they face off with Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw has a strong season start, their brains being met with a level of unexpected brutality, the match-up promised to be exciting.
First was Captain @Rafael D'Spacito, the house pretty-boy. As of late he had not been seen much by his peers, to the great dismay of several girls and more than a handful of boys. Best known for a quick hand as a chaser among his teammates, the truth be told there was a number here just to watch Rafael fly. He was followed by his Co-Captain, @Evelynn Decipio. No greater contrast could be seen as the young, mostly rule-abiding, studious prefect graced the pitch. She was also the first-string Seeker with a keen eye for all things golden.
The duo was followed by the rest of their team. Second-string Seeker @Elena Jangleton, a pretty yet quiet young girl that might prove to be a dark horse if she were to make it onto the snowy-pitch. Then there was the first-string Keeper, Akari Kato. She had been training hard or at the very least picking up dates on the pitch. Both would require a modicum of stamina perhaps. Hopefully Rose Moon would be in the stands cheering her on. She would be followed by
Second-string Keeper @Allister-Jameson MacAllister, a rather liked but somewhat quiet third year. He was likely Rafael's replacement as house "pretty boy" according to a poll he is likely only now reading about amongst the girls of Hogwarts if Rafa were to ever hang up his pretty-boy hat.
Then the brawny, burly beaters would emerge from the lockers. First-string Beaters @Griseldis Edelhardt & @Kage Suzuki, the most muscular part-asian students in the school. Gris is best known for her duties as a prefect and being a "goody two-shoes", she plays by the rules and always tries to be fair.How she ended up also wielding a bat for the purposes of bludgering people off high speed brooms is beyond some but hypothesized to be a form of violent stress relief. The fourth and second year Gryffindors would come armed with bats and heavy armor, knowing that they would have to defend Eve until the bloody end. In the second-string, @Marshal Mozor. He would defend any girl that looked at him for a full 5 seconds on purpose. Eve was among that short list. He would probably protect the lovely Eve with his body and then hope she nursed him back to health in a fantasy that we should leave to Marshall to describe.
Finally, the chasers would make their way onto the pitch. The first-string chasers less Rafael D'Spacito, @Anastasia Beckett and @Haley Rose would make their way onto the pitch. Ana was a busy girl, involved in both Duelling and Quidditch, she is likely best known however for her association with the Beckett Balls. Haley, a pretty red-head whose fiery hair seems to coordinate with the color scheme of her house is known as a bit of a social butterfly in comparison to some of her teammates. There would likely be an an assembled multitude of friends there to cheer the girl on. The last to emerge would be second-string beater @Ivy Bellamy, a pretty third year. Her need to inflict violence a not-so-secret fact, if by design or impulse it is hard to stay but her brutality on the pitch was a sure-fire way to make certain nobody crosses her.
The team would make their way around the pitch and summon the cheers of their peers.Captain: Rafael D'Spacito

Ravenclaw would be called out soon thereafter. The first to emerge would be @Cecily Quinn, long-standing team Captain. The girl is one of those over-achieving sorts that seems to be involved in everything. A writer for the school paper as well as Quidditch Captain, the blonde would be the first on the pitch. This would be followed by @Sylvain Wyllt, a third year and co-Captain of the team. Well-loved and well-known among his peers for having a personable and kind nature, some would boast a powerful personal ethic also but how true any of these notions were would be secret only Sylvain knew the answer to.
This would be followed by @River Dewlight, the first-string Seeker. With early year successes in finding the snitch, it is the ardent hope of her peers that this is the start of a house winning streak. The fourth year shows a lot of promise and has perhaps caught the eye of some Professional Quidditch scouts. She would be followed by the second-string Seeker @Aurora Ranvier. She is best known as an eccentric, owner of pepper spray and according to narrator notes "multi-colored." Aurora is an unusual creature, a mystery or perhaps a scientific phenomenon not unlike the astrological phenomenon that she was so named after.
The duo would be followed by the first-string Keeper @Aly Salinger. A mass of dark curls peering from beneath layers of gear and cold weather clothes. She would be followed by a very tiny person, potentially an escaped toddler on a broom. @Juniper Kelly, part goblin and part of a troublesome duo, she somehow made it onto a sports team and was trusted with a broom.
This would be followed by the Chasers. Sylvain and Cecily already on the pitch, Lavinia Cloven a long-term quidditch player and third first-string Chaser would make her way onto the field. Tenured and experienced, she would be a concern for most. Then finally, Winnie Harper, the main character of some sort of strange reverse harem where the girl attracts only the dangerous and mentally unstable would make her way onto the pitch. A second string Chaser and second-year student, while the gear is not traditionally pink or 'aesthetically romantic' it was probable that the girl had found a way to defy the norm.
Finally, the Beaters would make their way onto the pitch. The Beaters were the ones to watch for those that witnessed the previous match. @Jorah Moussa, or "Jorah the Butcher", best known for hitting so hard brooms sometimes explode and @Gabriella Haworth a powerhouse of a second-year. Their back-up Second String:, @Emma Milanes only promised to be another difficult hurdle to overcome if they could get through either Jorah or Gabriella.
The team would make their way about the perimeter of the pitch. They knew the routine as did the crowd that cheered them on. The wind would pick up, it was bitter cold. The snow would continue to fall, chilling their fingertips and exposed skin. They were going to need to play fast and play hard!Captain: Cecily Quinn

Ravenclaw versus Gryffindor. How relieving it was to know Nicholas wasn’t in the quidditch team, otherwise, she would be gladly giving the victory to him even before the match began. This one might be tougher than before. She had seen one of the beaters’ performance before, a fellow second year. Not as good as the almighty scary blonde Slytherin, but still quite good. If she had recalled correctly, it was also the Gryffindor who won the quidditch cup last year and stole all the glory from taking the international students down. If that didn’t make anyone shiver, what kind of guts do they have? Rare indestructible guts made of vibranium?
Aurora knew very well the ability of her teammates. Compared to them, the ravenclaws have the same capabilities, even more. Hard practices had been done, the only thing that they would need was luck. But the girl needed something more, so she did the same thing she did as the last match, turning her hair bright pink and carrying the old polaroid picture of her and her parents. Though she wasn’t a first string player, she still secretly hoped to see a certain someone to come and see the match even if he would cheer for his house, it wouldn’t matter. A boost of confidence and motivation was needed, and merely seeing him from afar would make such a difference.

The cold weather could not keep Winnie Harper grounded. She had been waiting for this day ever since the Quidditch team had celebrated their win back in October. She felt strong, powerful, proud... There was nothing quite like playing Quidditch, even if she didn't get as much time in the air. For the few moments she had been given the chance to fly, she had truly felt like an eagle.
This game would prove to be difficult, as the Gryffindors were fierce opponents. As the winner of last year's season, they were not to be underestimated. She was fully expecting to be flying today as well. If luck were on their side, River would be able to spot the snitch early on and secure them a second win.
She also had a few friends on the Gryffindor team, Evelynn, the lovely co-captain with a keen eye for fashion and Marshal Mozor, a handsome and poetic boy with the ability to put the sun itself to shame. She did not want to harm them, but she knew she herself would be insulted if either took it easy on her, so she would offer them the same courtesy.
The snow crunched beneath her boots as she made her way across the field, the pink ribbon she had secured to the base of her long plaited hair flowing in the frosty air. She squinted towards the stands to see if she could spot her boyfriend, Mathias. If she saw him, she would blow him another kiss. Perhaps he was her good luck charm. She took a seat on the bench next to Aurora and offered her friend a grin.

her first game. Yeah, she's got this . She's watched just about e very quidditch game, she knew how to play and she the rules. But..that. didn't mean she would follow them. She was a keeper. She would do what she had to do. She was surprised there was a uniform fit her small farther. She walked out with her broom in. The cold nipped at her fingertip and her nose. She had a bright pink scrunchie in a messy pony tail. She waved the crowd and sat on the bench.

Rafael’s arms popped succinctly as he stretched them out – left, then right – his broom clutched firmly in his right hand and a gaze of steely determination upon his face. The lively sounds of the crowd reverberated throughout the stadium, filling the Captain with a wistful feeling as he reveled in the familiar sounds of his house cheering their team on – sounds that had once left him teeming with energy and excitement now left him with a weary sense of dread. It was looking to be a tough game ahead of the lions – a victory was guaranteed to no man in an instance such as this one, a fact that did nothing to console the young man. However, no such clouds of negativity could bog down his competitive spirit, stirring within the pits of his stomach. Rain or shine, he came to win, to represent his team with a vigor never seen within the likes of any other house.
Boarding his broom in a swift motion, he took a quick lap around the field, before landing by the benches. The team had already gone over their plans, covered all angles of the play they were betting on with every inch of their willpower – there was no need for rally, only business. As such, he dropped his bag by the bench, sending a quick and honest smile to those on the bench before boarding his broom once again and pushing off into the open air. Time was ticking away, the nervous anticipation fading into the pregame buzz that banished all thought from his mind except one – the ball.
It was time to steal this game.

Also, if the Quaffle is dropped for any reason, you would automatically (without it taking up an action) attempt another Quafflegrab. At present there would be no mid-round way to drop a quaffle due to the order of operations, however there will be certain effects in future patches that can cause this effect.Catch
With brooms that have the feature where an additional player may be caught (such as Bluebottle) where there is a stackable chance of failure with each additional person caught, there is no stacking failure chance for players with this ability.Perfectionist

Her first actual Quidditch match and it would start off in the blistering cold and snow, she really hoped that didn't affect her performance if it came down to that. She tugged her broom close to her side as they waited for Gryffindor to be announced, Elena honestly didn't know what she'd done to catch anyone's eyes but she had and here she was on a team with new and familiar faces as her fingers flexed gripping and feeling the comfort of the Silver Arrow, her best companion in all of this. The brunette silently thanked she wouldn't be the one freezing her limbs off for a good while, she suspected and from what she knew, they had mostly seasoned players on their side so time would tell whether she was going to be thrust out there in that winter wonderland eyeing the falling drops of snow ruefully wishing them away.
It'd been Haley's advice really that had saw her through in the end really. Elena still remembered her words to this day letting them repeat themselves over and over in her head. She had molded herself into a capable flyer ever since those try-outs, not as great as their captains or the others per say but Elena had gotten to a level where she was comfortable and not worrying about whether she was going to crash every other second. That being said, a wild descent into that snowy terrain would not be fun almost wincing at the thought. That was all the time she would get to process her thoughts however as their team took the field and Elena joined her bench buddies offering a smile and nod as she settled in keen to see this play out from a different perspective rubbing her gloved hands together for some warmth.

AJ blew a puff of warm breath into his gloved hands, rubbing them together to get some feeling back in his fingers. He was a Scotsman, brave and true, but something about this cold was different to the cold up in Thurso. That cold was held within the strikes of whipping winds. It was almost like a sharp pain compared to the slow freeze that was Hogwarts' cold.
What was worse is that he was Second String. If all went well and he never needed to take to the field he could wind up with his bum frozen to the bench. What if the muscles in his legs got so cold he couldn't stand up? What if his team forgot about him and he was left to freeze to de-
He stopped that rather grim thought. He was nervous. He hadn't been on the Pitch as a player in two years almost, and the last time he was...well...he had been told not to go back again after. Yet here he was again, and he had no idea why? Perhaps after his shortcomings as Captain of the Duelling team he hoped to recover some lost glory on the pitch? Who could honestly say?
The team was moving out now. It was time to put the game face on. He still wore his old player number, good old '66.'
He joined the team in posturing and preening as they flew around the pitch. He scanned the crowd for any faces he recognised but his goggles were already beginning to freeze over from the cold so it was difficult to make anything out. Plus he was trying not to get frozen to his broom at the same time. It was a lovely broom, but he didn't exactly want to attend classes on it.
The hype lap over and done with, he landed and made his way to the bench, trying to warm it up sufficiently first. Well, at least he still remembered how to fly. Let's go Lions!

Ana's year had sped by, and she was more than a little terrified that she was drowning in her own life. Her Quidditch uniform which had once felt that armor that rendered her invincible now left her feeling woefully exposed. Quidditch remained the best part of any day, but it, like so many other things, was an area for her to let people down. She wasn't an unknown quantity anymore, couldn't claim any lack of experience. Indeed, she was one of the more experienced members on the team. Success wasn't something to be celebrated anymore, it was an expectation. Failure was beyond unacceptable. Though her thoughts whirled and her chest seemed to tighten, outwardly she was the picture of contemplative serenity.
Bouncing slightly, she mounted her broom. The cold seemed to slice through her many layers. She knew that she would warm up as the game got on, but for the moment, she worried that she would freeze to death before then. Wisps of hair had already begun to escape from her tight braid, and her pale cheeks were flushed from the cold. No matter, she had a job to do.
Long story short, I survived

It was the day she had been losing sleep over all week-- Quidditch once more. Cecily was nothing short of psyched. It was only thrice a year she got to participate in a real, high-stakes match, and although practices were never a bore, there was no replacing the real deal. And this match was indeed high-stakes: the underdog Ravenclaws on a high from their previous Slytherin slaughter, facing the reigning champs, Gryffindor, who had by no means gone easy on the Eagles in the past.
Cecily strode onto the pitch with confidence in her players, the confidence she held in the team every time she took to the skies with them. This time, though, the confidence was just a tad stronger, bolstered by one win already under their belt. She never went into a match expecting to lose, but too often that had proven the outcome. Today, Cecily wanted to win, and she wanted it so deeply. It was bitterly cold, her cheeks were already flushed from the chill, and yet she nearly felt warm with adrenaline. There would be no shortage of bloodshed today, she knew, but her team had been through worse. This would be revenge, a battle, a turning of the tables from last year's match against the lions, and Cecily was prepared to see it through.

Mentions: No oneAt this point River felt pretty familiar with the specific atmosphere one experiences when walking onto the quidditch pitch. The sound of the crowd being muted by the rush of adrenaline through her body. It was almost like her body didn’t even feel the cold, as her mind was too busy focusing on what was to come.
As she stepped out onto the pitch her neck popped a couple times as she rolled her head. A slight pain in the nape of her neck, probably from a bad night's sleep. River hoped she’d be able to keep her head clear, even after her 3 hours of poor rest.
She was more motivated than ever, after her team managed their first win of the season. It was about time Ravenclaw got their winning streak.ReducioAction: Doing as strategized
