BROOM RACING - HUFFLEPUFF vs. SLYTHERIN - FALL 2022
ROUND 6
The track was now overwhelmingly yellow and back, but the buzzing badgers all began to slow down. Was this a race? Or a duel? No one had even gotten to Della's favorite part of the course yet—the mighty squid. George shot Serena up into the air. Of course, a strategy to clear her a path to victory—or make her a target. From her vantage point, Serena was able to give June a blindfold, and the rest of the team flung rocks at Percival. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your team alliance and rock-throwing ethics, Percival evaded one and was still in the race.A note to all players: The word count minimum is 50 words. The next deadline to post is 120 hours from the time this is posted. If you believe a mistake has been made in the calculations of this round, please reach out to a broom racing moderator (any of the team captains/cocaptains) ASAP so it can be addressed promptly.
The blindfold sent June careening through the maze. Remarkably, she was able to get through, though by what mechanism or sense was unclear to Della. She left both Percival and George to fly aimlessly to dead ends. In fact, George was doing so poorly that he had found his way back to the entrance. However, June's luck seemed to end there. The blindfold caused her disorientation in the next patch of fog and in the narrow passageway, and finally, she ended up entangled in the vines.Actions & Spells & Attacks

Serena wiped her brow with the back of her hand. This entire thing was rather stressful. Were they winning? She had no idea. But the race seemed to still be going on and she was determined to try and get Hufflepuff that win. They were knocking people off the broom left, right and centre. She normally cared about such things. No one else seemed to though so perhaps she was wrong to. That was being rectified in this race though. She was doing her best to help the badgers win.
Turning her attention to another member of the Slytherin team - one that had sped right past her, she cast the blindfold spell towards her. She had to stop her from getting too far ahead. It was now or never. They were approaching the finish line. Though... she heard that there were some obstacles up ahead that were not to be trifled with.
But before she could do anything, she felt the wind around her change. She was not going... forward? No. Blinking, she saw the ground get further away every second as she shot up in the air. Right. Serena looked down and around, trying to see if she could spot the rest of the team. Where the heck had her captain gone? He was right next to her! Did he get knocked off? She needed to help him. He was going to carry the badgers to a win, he was essential to this whole thing.

Up, up and away! George smiled as he watched his front-running racer spiral up into the air. He hoped that there were no predatory birds flying that high that might mistake her for a rabbit with a high vertical leap, as Serena was quite small, and could no doubt be carried away from the course by even something as small as a hungry post owl.Ah, well. Looking around, he saw that Percival and June were annoyingly still conscious... and that his own little first-year racer was somehow still conscious too. "Wow! You're definitely getting a gold star sticker for this!" George called to her, giving the girl a big badger thumbs up. Turns out, it's easy to race if you have your entire team cheat pretty much every round.

Things were looking pretty okay for her, no one was flinging rocks at her and she didn't have to fly into the maze and get lost. Sophie wondered if she should throw more projectiles, maybe she'd have better luck with them than she did with ramming. She tried to ignore all the blood she was losing, but she couldn't help wondering if she would've done better if she somehow stopped the bleeding earlier.

S o, how are you finding broom racing?" June looked over at one Mister George Henry, who was flying right beside her after casting some sort of spell that sent Wyatt tumbling to the ground. June looked over to her Puffle-y friend with a wild look of determination in her eyes. "I find I enjoy it the most when you're looking at the back of my head." June leaned forward, speeding ahead of him and that darned second year Hufflepuff who lobbed a rock at her earlier. Blindfolds were no obstacle for June in the maze, after all, you just need to keep making left turns or something to make your way out, right?

So far through this race, he had made it through quite the number of obstacles. There was thorns, which didn't fail to scathe him. What came next was trees, pigeons (luckily dodged!), fog, waterfall, and narrow passageway. Simon hoped he could see this race through far enough toward the end where he might get a glimpse of Herman, the Giant Squid. That's the name a friend had once stated belonged to the creature that lived in the Lake and he had called him Herman ever since.
Knowing he was so far behind the others though he wasn't sure if that would be the case. Still, if his teammates ahead fell into trouble, being steady on his broom could prove useful later into the race.

The carnage continues. Minute after minute, Jack continued to hurl things across the track. There was a sick satisfaction in watching his projectiles slam against the target, which was the newspaper boy. A giddy and malicious grin could only grow so large, but if it could, it would most likely encompass the entirety of his face. It would be soon that Jack got that one lucky toss.

Even after being pelted by two opponents Gray was still somehow staying strong on his broom. Although, him feeling the pain from the strikes that hit it lowered his focus and forced him to be lost in the maze! somehow, someway, he needed to try and get out of this wretched place and try and make an effort to win the race for the team.

ROUND 7
While Serena soared ahead peacefully, securing a large lead, June was struggling with the vines—with great effort, she was able to break free. However, after getting her blindfold off, she would find herself in a sea of danger, including a jinx from a certain lost-in-the-maze captain. The shaky Slytherin would only avoid one projectile, with another hitting her squarely in the head and George's jinx exploding in her face. The jinx would also send the Hufflepuff back out of the maze, and if he wanted to move forward he'd have to attempt the maze all over again. Della supposed at this point the giant squid had fallen asleep and they'd never see him in his glory. Jack also attempted to throw something at Percival, but it got lost in the maze as well.A note to all players: The word count minimum is 50 words. The next deadline to post is 120 hours from the time this is posted.

BROOM RACING - HUFFLEPUFF vs. SLYTHERIN - FALL 2022
Serena is flying. Through the skies, on a cloud, living her best life. Well, was this her best life? It was kind of odd. In a way, it was peaceful. There were no obstacles for her to deal with it. She could see glimpses of things below, like a Giant Squid that looked pretty unfun to get caught up in. Though, also - oddly - kind of cute. At least from afar. It was peaceful flying through the clouds and not having to duck and dodge every single moment. She could fly ahead and take a moment to just breathe without intervention. But this was not what racing was about, surely! Where was the drama? The fight? The violence?! That was what racing was about! Anyone who told you that it was simply a race from point a to b with nothing else in between was a fool - or a liar. It was a violent game that trained each and every rider to be the best version of themselves out there.
They had to master the art of broom riding. They had to develop a sense of pinpoint accuracy. They had to navigate through the most deadly of trials, all the while being a skilled duellist, a sturdy individual and nimble enough to surpass the rest. Broom racing was not easy, it was for the most skilled. At least... normally. Flying through the clouds felt rather easy, in fact. It was so chill.
This would be a great place for a date. Not that she had anyone to ask on a date, nor any intention of asking anyone but still... it really would. The view of the castle and grounds from here was almost magnificent and it was actually rather peaceful for once at Hogwarts. Quiet, calm and wonderful. Ahhh, how lovely.
