Atlas knew she had a duty to protect her team more than the goals, especially with Ethen gone and Stanley brought into the game. Staring over at Slytherin’s goals, she quickly saw that Koko had the same idea as they too left their post.

“That decides it.” Atlas whispered under her breath just as she watched Serena swiftly capture the quaffle and effortlessly toss it through the goals not once but twice. Deciding she had been far too stern and focused on this game, the young girl let out a loud excited yelp raising her fist in the air in congratulation of her teammates' success.

“Nicely done Bowen!” She screamed out already feeling her throat rebelling with her tone as it constricted.

Flying closer to the chaos on the other side of the pitch, Atlas’ eyes darted back and forth as she tried to get a read on what Slytherin was up to. As expected their opponents were going hard on Stanley as Maggie attempted to Blatch him before Quinn swooped in protecting him from the onslaught.

Nodding her approval, Atlas unconsciously bit down on her lip as she saw Tyranni attempting what Maggie couldn’t manage. Unfortunately, Quinn’s block was a bit much for even him as she saw him abruptly knocked from his broom as she leaned hard on the front of her broom, swooping below him in the knick of time as she felt him land on her broom throwing off her balance for a moment as she reached an arm behind her to hold him in place as he got situated.

“I got you, love!” She yelled back as she once more adjusted her weight to compensate for the added teammate to her broom. She felt her heartbeat throbbing in her chest as the breath she had unknowingly been holding since Quinn’s descent finally escaped her wind-beaten lips.

“They can’t get rid of us that easily!” She continued hoping her words would not only give her life and courage but would transfer to Quinn as well. It was looking grim on the pitch but the Puffs still had some tricks up their sleeve and they would never go down without a fight.

ACTION: Doing as strategized.

Percival glanced towards the sky as he watched Flash Holmwood take to the sky. An undeniable itch to be in his place. To feel the fresh air whipping through his hair as he tried to make his team proud. Though, here he was sitting upon the bench. Despite his thoughts, he could not find much to be upset over. The fact that almost everyone was up in the skies still must mean they might have a better chance at winning this game. Right?

Quinn had a strong gut feeling that this next play would most likely be their last. He wasn't always right about it, but damn if it wasn't right most of the time. He lasted a lot longer in this game then previous ones, especially since Atlas managed to catch his heavy arse. She had really improved since he'd been on the team and he couldn't be prouder. "Right Attie, let's go kick some proper arse!" He smirked pointing forwards. "We'll give em a damn good somethin to remember!" He exclaimed again, spinning the large bat in his hand and increasing his grip careful not to crack or break the bat handle....again. He'd give this next his every ounce of strength he had left.

It was time for the badgers to really bare their teeth.

Action: Doing as strategized.

XXXThe game was still on. Rather than catch the snitch as Maggie had hoped, Dan missed. Unfortunate.

So, Maggie took things into her own hands! An attempted blatch, which was, like, against the rules, but did it really matter? Quidditch, itself, didn't seem to be the safest of activities, nor was it the most rule-abiding. Seemed like something as simple as a blatch wouldn't be a big deal, right?

Wrong. Maggie was sentenced to a stupid penalty lap. Great. What a wonderful day. The game was going just wonderful, wasn't it?

INTERACTION Interacting With: Mentioning:

It was worth another penalty lap to see the hulking monstrous sized boy fall to the grass on the quidditch pitch. Yes she was out for different blood, but despite this interference with her original plans, she could not have asked for a better alternate outcome. If anyone had doubted the venom running through these snakes blood, perhaps they would doubt just a bit less now. She figuratively had decided to spit in the face of honor. It was now time for justice for the Slytherin team. They had lost too many times now, all due to small miracles on the other team, and not due to lack of excellent play for the Snakes. No more. She would take her second penalty lap of the game with pride, zipping around the field as quick as possible.

Those few innocent firsties in the crowd would only grow more distressed as the game wore on – it would seem as if both teams had dismissed the idea of the Quaffle, if only for a fleeting moment, instead choosing to employ intense actions that mirrored their inward animosity towards the opposing team. Was it a ploy for revenge? A last-minute attempt at vindication? Such quandaries would be for the crowd to ponder.

───────────── Results ─────────────

It was now up to Hufflepuff to mirror the intense actions of the opposite team as the game dangerously wore on – the first attack would come in the form of the newly-situated Serena, whose focus and intensity was unparalleled as she wound back her foot, eyes focused on the retreating back of seeker Flash. It would be a good thing, then, that Cash was nearby, and more than prepared to defend their teammate in the name of Slytherin – a flurry of green and silver would warrant the beater immobile, soaring through the air without the aid of their broom. Cash’s game would end, like their Captain before them – Serena, on the other hand, was sentenced to a lap for her crimes, one of many that would likely follow in the span of the game.

This was only the beginning of the offensive play Hufflepuff had initiated – the second wave would come in the form of the terrifying Howard White himself, steely determination marking his frame as he ducked down, foot already extended in practice ease. Perhaps it was Flash’s occupation that distracted him so, or perhaps it was the skillful aim of a practiced cheater that led to such devastating success. Howard’s foot made perfect contact with the Slytherin seeker, foot wedging itself in the younger’s ribcage and sending him rocketing promptly off his broom.

Thankfully for the Slytherin Team, Koko had been lurking nearby, in search for an opportunity which had shortly struck – wasting not a moment, the skilled keeper swooped down and snatched the other out of the windy skies. However, whatever relief the two may have experienced in the moment would be shortly lived, as the last wave of the attack was approaching imminently – specifically, the likenesses of the newly-formed duo Quinn and Atlas. Atlas at the helm of the mighty broom and Quinn brandishing his beater’s bat threatening, the two would prepare for an assault that would soon rocket across the pitch with an accuracy that was honestly quite stunning. The onlookers would hold their breath as the silver ball would rocket across the field – only for Koko to just narrowly dodge it? The Hufflepuff fans would soon deflate, their green-and-silver comrades roaring in avid excitement as the pair continued to fly, untouched if only for a moment. What a close one!

On the other end of the court, Erin was preparing for an attack of her own – perhaps retaliation for the assault her team’s seeker had only just suffered? Whatever the case may be, her pretty eyes would narrow upon the terrifying likeness of the dhampir chaser, her bat angled behind her in a carefully-practiced pose. Then, in one quick motion, she would send her bludger ricocheting backwards, whistling through the air at a terrifying accuracy as it narrowed in on its target. It would seem as Howard’s luck had promptly worn out. The bludger would wedge itself right in his ribs – not enough to knock him off his broom, but just enough that his side probably hurt like a mother. /quote]

Never let it be said that the Quaffle was unloved – for in the progression of his chase lap, Flash took it upon himself to give it the attention it so avidly craved, taking the time to fly up to the unguarded hoops and sink a few quick ones. One… two… not quite a third, huh? His efforts would secure for his team twenty points, however, which was quite the impressive feat for the second-string seeker. Meanwhile, it seemed as if Stanley had yet again found no luck in his snitch-seeking expenditures…. Perhaps next round would warrant favorable results?
