With the sound of the starting whistle, Slytherin’s co-captain and star chaser Tyranni Whitehorn immediately honed in her vision on the Quaffle, red leather glinting invitingly as it shone in the warm January sun. Was anyone else going to give it any attention? No? Uncontested, she proceeded on with her calculated attack – scraping away at the air, her fingers caught the pristine surface of the maroon ball, and a quick glance backwards would pinpoint her preferred target. However, upon tossing the ball, she would discover some difficulty in the form of an outstanding defense – Hufflepuff was starting the game soundly, the fearless Hufflepuff Keeper Atlas Reid meeting Slytherin’s call with the quick swipe of her hand. What a block!

The ball was promptly obtained by the gold and black – who would Atlas pass it to? Her eyes quickly scanning the pitch, she would target the closest teammate to her position, the formidable Rosie Parker. A perfect toss and receive ensued, the crowd roaring in excitement as the chaser made possession. However, perhaps not expecting the sudden pass, or perhaps due to the subtle anxiety of sharing airspace with a much more *unsettling* chaser teammate, the Quaffle suddenly tumbled from the upperclassman’s fingers, right back into the clutches of quick-witted Tyranni. What a shame for Hufflepuff! However, Slytherin’s luck had only increased in the small amount of time. Taking advantage of her opportunity, Tyr coiled her arm for release, throwing it once again at Atlas – only to be blocked again?

The Slytherin crowd roared in earnest, some throwing up fists of frustration at the turn of events. However, they should have known better than to doubt their co-captain. Thoroughly warmed up, Tyr advanced for round three, broom whistling through the air as she grasped upon the Quaffle once more. Gaze steely, knuckles white, she would give Atlas not a moment longer to prepare, hurling the ball with a precision that most would find highly disturbing. What was Dan feeding his team? No one in the student section seemed to care about such quandaries, the stadium alight with the cheers of the spectators.

In another part of the field, it was becoming increasingly apparent that both teams were more than ready to see blood. In particular, the unsettling Howard White had set his sights upon the unassuming Slytherin seeker and captain, Dan Palmer. A small gasp of anticipation would run through the stands as the Hufflepuff stuck his foot out, making contact with… Cash Ironwoods? It would seem as if the Slytherin seeker had appeared out of nowhere, sacrificing themselves in the name of saving their Captain. What a player! As for the white knight themselves, Cash was promptly intercepted by Slytherin’s dark horse Maggie Hawkins, who had been lurking nearby and had watched the entire ordeal. It was a close call for Slytherin, one of many they would surely see in the coming game. As for Howard, the referee had promptly caught his dirty move, and sentenced the older player to a lap for his crimes. Tough luck, man.

Howard wasn’t the only chaser with blatching on his mind, however. Of course, who could scarcely forget the presence of the infamous blatch goddess, herself? Alexx Sevverin descended from the sky like a hawk in all her green glory, her piercing blue eyes set upon a certain half-giant with a steely fervor unlike any other on the pitch. Perhaps Quinn Healy never stood a chance against the impeccable aim of the blatch goddess, or perhaps he had been far too focused on his duty of defending his fellow teammate to notice her lightning-quick approach. Regardless, her foot met his formidable frame with little opposition, sending the larger player tumbling from his broom. Luckily enough for him and the rest of Hufflepuff, fellow teammate and chaser Rosie Parker had been hovering nearby, and wasted not a moment in sweeping the taller from the air, rescuing him from impending doom. Alexx, on the other hand, continued to play, her smooth moves going unnoticed by the referee.

On the opposite side of the pitch, Erin Ryan was prowling the skies in search for an opportunity with the name of Ami Procoppio – or was it Chad Preoccupied? This narrator stans King Chad. It wouldn’t take long for the senior player to latch onto her target, bat coiled back in preparation. In finding the ideal opening, the slightly terrifying veela beater promptly sent off to the Huffle co-captain a very hard metal present, the likes of which held no mercy as it slammed into the jaw of the badger’s beater, sweeping her right off her broom and robbing her of consciousness.

However, Ami was keen on returning Erin’s attack with a parting gift for Slytherin. Swinging her bat in a smooth arc, she sent her own bludger hurtling in the direction of another, very familiar target. Maggie could do nothing to rescue Cash from the impending doom that sought their collective midsts – the blow just nearly knocked the two off their brooms, both players holding onto the smooth broomstick of Maggie’s broom with the sliver of energy they had remainijng. If only that was it for Slytherin. For the bludger seemed to be on a warpath, ricocheting off the duo with a disturbing amount of energy retained as it soared towards… Dan Palmer? The Slytherin audience let out an audible gasp as the metal collided with the Slytherin Captain, the victim only just grabbing his broom before falling. What a narrow save by Dan. But could he keep it up?

Meanwhile, Dan and Ethen were focused on an entirely different aspect of the game. Perhaps due to the impending attacks distracting him from his duties, Dan was seeming to have a bit of trouble locating the snitch. Ethen, undisturbed, was having no such difficulty, however – it would take only moments for him to locate the shiny luster of the golf-sized ball, gaze latching onto its movements and broom jerking to attention. The chase was on!

The narrator had begin and the first round went well for the most part. Her heart dropped when Ami had been knocked from her broom and from the game. Already, and it was only the first round? Well at least they were putting up a fight.. But on the bright side it seemed Ethen had caught sight of the snitch. Even then bad things could still come his way, bad things being bludgers which seemed to awfully like their team when they were even close to winning. Annie rocked in her seat, holding her breath and crossing her fingers. Please don't let it rain badgers this game. Please catch the snitch. Please no more hospital after-parties. She'd mutter in her head to herself, hearing the cheers from the stand in the back of her mind.

Howard soared through the air with ease as he prepared for the starting whistle. With a few moments to spare before the match began he would take a pass by the spectators box. His intention to rile up the Hufflepuff fans that had made it out that day and maybe flash a few rude gestures at those dressed in green and silver. The familiar voice of @Bloom Silverton would call out his name as he made his approach and she was sat next to none other than @Serena Towers. "Hey ladies!!" Howard called out as he zoomed past them. (Yes, insert the Hamilton gif) It would have been more than easy for him to get distracted by the pair. Not only would he consider both of them good friends, even if a bit complicated at times, but he couldn't deny the hormone fueled part of himself that made them both very easy on the eyes. Focus Howard!!

The Dhampir turned his mind back to the match. The captains gave their signals as they all took up position. Howard had his mission, seek and destroy! As the whistle blew he would bee line it towards the Slytherin Seeker. Time to die Dan!! A bit intense, but those hormones fueled more than romance as his competitive side took over. Howard laid flat on his broom to close the distance. His target was in reach! A heavy boot stuck out to meet its mark. With a mighty crash his aim would be true, but the target was not as intended. Cash had intercepted in the last moment. They took the brunt of the foul in Dan's place. "Damnit!" Howard cursed under his breath as penalty lap was called against him. Hopefully his team would fair better as he zoomed off to take his lap.

The game started more quickly than Koko had expected. The chasers shot off... None towards her.

For a moment, Koko entertained the possibility of this game being action-free, but it seemed that would not be. Tyranni quickly scored 10 points against Hufflepuff - Koko was a bit miffed that it wasn't more than 10, but 10 was better than nothing.

One after another, her fellow Slytherins were hit by bludgers, but it seemed that they were holding on for now. Cash might have had to share with Maggie, but they hadn't lost them entirely.

It was then that Koko realised that their entire team was still in the air. That was good. Way better than last time, at least, when most of the first-strings - including Koko - had gotten knocked off of their brooms... It had been really embarrassing...

Koko shook the thought from her head and watched the snow trickle down from the clouds. They were doing fine; they would do fine.

Ami, too, had been struck by a bludger - Aw, what a shame. Koko actually liked Ami - and was now falling to the ground. Koko wasn't sure whether she should be sad that a good Hufflepuff had taken a hit or be happy that her team had landed a solid hit.

She chose happy. 'Woo! Nice one, Erin!'

She made a small mental apology to Ami before scanning the pitch, ready to take any orders from Dan if they came, but also ready to catch any quaffle that came her way.
