PV Players Snitches and Sweater Weather Closed

Alma made an attempt at the quaffle, but it seems it wasn’t even needed as she watched Maggie take all three. She couldn’t be more grateful that she landed on Maggie’s team. The girl really was quite impressive.

But, not all hope was lost for the other team it seemed, when Ava and Irina both closed in on Maggie, managing to grasp one quaffle from her. But Alma couldn’t complain too much, as the team scored 20 more points. Ava did however manage to score another 10 for Occamy storm.

She was so focused on the chasers that she neglected to see Clair get battered by Simon’s bludger. She turned just in time to see the wince of pain and discomfort. Alma really needed to check up on the hit players after this - but, for now, she needed to cheer on her team.

Wait. She was forgetting something…their beater! She swiveled her head around and around to try and see where Lucian attempted to hit. Finally, her eyes landed on a bludger coming straight for poor Violet. She nearly dived down to save the seeker, but held back, as she saw Violet expertly lift her broom in the last second. Not a scratch.

This game was proving simpler than she thought it’d be. She’d barely done anything, and two of the other team’s members are injured and they’ve got 20 points! She had her team to thank for all of it.

The first task was coming up soon, and while Aryan knew that everything was going to turn out alright -- he had made the best possible team, after all -- another part could not help but feel nervous at all the hullabaloo. Not of failure, no. It was a tournament, and win or lose, he would do his best and have fun along the way.

No, it was the hungamafanfare of it. The media attention, the whispers that he did not deserve to be champion. And that was what had made him come out to the Quidditch Pitch. There was nothing like flying to soothe the strains of a tough day. Shamsi had thought he would be mostly alone. Maybe he might have found a lone flyer or two for a friendly race around the course.

What he had not expected was.... this. Whatever this monstrosity of a game was with one, two, three - I say again - THREE Quaffles and a bludger. Perhaps Hogwarts had seen the brilliant Chaser tactics that Mahoutokoro and Beauxbatons had put on and wanted to increase their own ball play? It was as likely as anything else he could come up with.

The Asian boy watched with rising interest as the flyers took to the skies. It was an interesting departure from normal Quidditch tactics, as the payers had to simultaneously manage multiple Quaffles in play. And instead of having people focus on different balls, you had everyone going for al the quaffles.

It was amazingly different from anything he had ever seen before.

"Hey. Hey guys! Any chance I can join you lot? This seems like a lotta good fun!"

Beaters

As the round started, the beaters leapt into action with incredible initiative. Simon spun around on his broom, sending a back-handed bludger screaming through the sky towards Clair, who was totally unaware of the projectile heading right towards her. Well, until it slammed into her left arm, that is. She was probably aware by then.

Lucian sent another bludger flying towards Maggie, anticipating her to fly towards the quaffles. But his bludger flew through the air, hitting no target, as Maggie wasn't flying towards the quaffles. No, she was flying right at Lucian.

Chasers + Keepers

Maggie sped through the air, her eyes locked on Occamy Storm's beater. She got closer, closer, closer, until-
WHAM!

Maggie slammed into Lucian's side, pushing him off his broom. He quickly began plummiting to the ground, his broom falling next to him. June blew her whistle. "That's a foul, Hawkins! Penalty lap"

The other chasers each had their eye on a different quaffle, grabbing them with ease. André flew in front of the hoops, his arms and legs extended in a peculiar fashion to allow him more coverage. Irina threw her quaffle, but her aim was slightly off as she accidentally slammed the thing right into Andre's gut. Ouch. Ava took the opportunity to fly above Irina and beautifully toss her quaffle through the center goal. On the other side of the pitch, Alma and Clair were locked in a stand off, the keeper choosing the same position André had. When Alma veered right, Clair did do, when she swerved left, Clair was quick to follow. Alma had nothing to rely on other than brute force to score this point. With all her might, Alma launched it into the left hoop. Clair was prepared to block it, but the force of Alma's throw just pushed her arm back as the quaffle fell through the goal.

"Alright, that's what I call quidditch! Occamy Storm 50, So Good Awesomé Quidditch Team 30!"

A new face walked onto the pitch, and June frowned slightly at his call. Too bad, the teams were already balanced and-

André flew over to June and whispered something in her ear. "Really?" She said to him quietly. "Well, alright, if you're sure." André flew down to the ground, having been excused from the game.

The second-year Slytherin flew back down to the ground to greet the newcomer. As she got nearer, she began to recognize him... Wait, he was one of the Hexwizard champions, wasn't he? She hovered just slightly above the ground. "As a matter of fact, a position has just opened up! Mind playing keeper?" June extended her hand in a greeting. "I'm Selwyn, June Selwyn. Welcome to the game! We're playing with a few modified rules, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Much easier than normal quidditch. You know, to make it a bit more fair to the new kids."

The quaffles are released, and I lunge for one, feeling Irina next to me also grabbing one. Our team has two. Sadly, Alma also has one. I glower at her but race with Irina over to the goalpost where Andre is flailed in an odd position. Irina throws the ball, hitting him in the gut. Yowch, that had to hurt. I take the opportunity to toss my quaffle past him and score a goal.

I was feeling good, and let a smile take over my face. I only turned back to the action when I heard June call something out. "That's a foul, Hawkins! Penalty lap" I loooked around. Penalty? Soon I realized that Maggie Hawkins had slammed into Lucian and knocked him from his broom. “You good, Lucian?” I called out, not expecting to hear an answer. I would much rather have him back on his broom anyway.

I took a quick glance over the field, just in time to see that Clair was hit by a bludger, though only on the arm it seemed. From across the field, I shot Clair a sympathetic glance. That was sure to be a pain in her side for awhile. I also realized that Alma had scored, helping her team slowly catch up to The Occamy Storm’s. Not good. Up in the air, Colin also seemed to be still searching for the snitch. The points I was scoring wouldn’t matter much if Colin didn’t get the snitch.

With a look at the ground I saw Andre was dismounting his broom and another person was getting up into the air. I wondered the reason, but didn’t particularly care.

Round after round the Awesomé team was getting closer to their score, Irina was starting to feel the pressure to rise around her. Simon was unstoppable, his aim seemed to not fail once and poor Clair had been his target second time now, "Ufff...poor Clair!" Irina muttered sympathizing with the ravenclaw girl on her team. But where was Luci? Their beater? Irina thought when she saw the bludger pass right in front of her eyes. Luckily it hand't hit her when she went to grab one of the quaffles. Was he targeting his own team mates now? She thought surprised. Was when she spotted him, he was falling from his broom, Maggie had collide with him, like a human wrecking ball, "Hey! That's a fault!" Irina yelled feeling angry with the older girl's decision. This is supposed to be a friendly game, in what was she thinking? She thought with despise. She was feeling so angry that when she went towards the goal she let go all of her frustration when she thrown the quaffle. Poor André had paid the price when it violently hit him in his gut. "Shit!" Rina cursed under her breath, perhaps she should had been the beater!

Luckily Ava took advantage of André's distraction and managed to score for the Occamy. Ten more points for them and for the Awesomé, since Alma had scored for them too. "Alright, that's what I call quidditch! Occamy Storm 50, So Good Awesomé Quidditch Team 30!" She heard June comment. It felt good to be on the lead, but the fault Maggie had done would be rooming her nerves for a while now. She just moved her deadly stare from the blond girl when she noticed that someone else was entering the field. She had never seen that boy before, getting closer to Ava she whispered, "Who's he?". At the same time, André went to June and said something to her ear. "Really?Well, alright, if you're sure." Their referee answered to him. "Is he leaving?" She quietly asked to Ava, "am I that strong?" She pondered looking at her arm, it seemed like a normal arm to her..."Whoa! Maybe I should think in changing roles next time!" She concluded talking to no one in particular.

"Hey. Hey guys! Any chance I can join you lot? This seems like a lotta good fun!" The boy down on the field had asked and Irina thought that he had a really good timing. "As a matter of fact, a position has just opened up! Mind playing keeper?" June replied and then kept telling him the rules. Hopefully it was his first time playing quidditch too, it would had been to much luck to have another quidditch player on the other team! OOC note: UNBELIEVABLE!! /jk

OOOHHH CRAAAAP!! Colin thought. He snarled as Maggie blatched Lucian. Fortunately, June caught the foul and sent Maggie to the outer void where she belonged! He had to hand it to Maggie, though, team Aewsomé was good at blending broom racing and quidditch --- she and Simon made a most formidable pairing!

He watched helplessly as yet another bludger left the Hufflepuff's bat screaming towards Clair! Oof! Colin knew that Clair could take it --- she was strong and a broom racer! Bludgers were nothing compared to acid and logs and rocks and squids and spells flying everywhere! Still, his heart was moved to pity as the ball slammed into her arm --- he wished he could fly down and take the thing for her!

Oof. Maybe playing in the same sport wasn't such a brilliant idea! Colin knew Clair wouldn't hesitate to perform her duty; and of course Colin would too. It was just that he so wished to put himself in the way so that nothing could harm her! But as in quidditch so in racing --- and Colin had to turn from where his heart wanted to be and focus on where the snitch was!

He'd seen it! Bloody fast little bugger! And it looked like Vee had seen it too, so there was no time to waste!

One minute I was on the broom and next, Maggie collided into me on purpose! I let out a scream as I felt myself falling to the side, my face morphing into a look of betrayal from the older girl as second by second my body shifted its weight to the nothingness of air.

As I fell, flashes off my little broom way back when it pierced my memory. Hopeless. Falling. Gravity giving up on me as the ground got closer and closer, the loud chatter of the others and the outrage — Ree in particular made me smile despite my impending doom and current predicament. Tears clouded my eyes, a scream tore through my mouth, this is why I hate flying! And believe you me, if I survive this then I would really never ever set my backside upon a broom! I would skip all the flying lessons too if need be, detentions or not! I would never go to the air using a broom again!

And I would never forgive Maggie Hawkins for what she just did. Ever. I may forget… but never forgive. Playing dirty at quidditch is dangerous.

I looked up at the players, begging them to save me! “OWEN!” the memory flashed through my head again. Thankfully, it happened just like before.

As soon as I fell lightly on the ground, I scavenged for my broom before shakily getting on. I took a deep breath. I could do this. And then zipped off.

The Indian kid gave the referee a crooked smile. She was blonde, too. Most of the blondes back home were always the the fun crowd – ‘troublesome’ kids that the adults and the Navies would scoff at. A part of him couldn’t help but wonder if she was the type he could convince into doing a broom race after hours.

A thought for later.

"Awesome! I’m Aryaan by the way, and normally I play Seeker." He turned his eyes back up, looking at the game; practically vibrating with excitement at the thought of flying again. "But then I see you’ve gotten three Quaffles here, and I'd love to get in on the Chaser/Keeper action you got going here."

A quick look showed that none of the players seemed TOO bothered by the idea, so he mounted his broom and took into the air. His broom was really a Seeker broom, meant for bulleting across the sky and dodging bludgers, but he was sure he could give these people a little handicap -- it would definitely be more fun that way.

Aryaan took his post near the hoops, still not entirely sure who were his teammates and who was the opposition -- but screw that, it'd just be more fun to find out.

"Come on then guys. Let's REALLY get this part started!"

Alright. Time to get back in the game. With Maggie going after Lucian, Alma swooped down to grab a quaffle. She succeeded, but unfortunately, the other team’s two chasers also managed to grab one.

But that was okay - they were working on evening out the score, one little bit at a time. She sped towards the goal posts where Clair was patiently waiting. She tried to get it past her, tried to go around, but the girl was persistent. The only way she was going to get this through was with brute force.

She launched the quaffle as hard as she could into the left hoop and thankfully, it was strong enough to get it through past Clair’s defending arm. She did a quick celebratory air fist pump, then noticed something strange. A player was being swapped out.

André was leaving the pitch, sadly, but their new teammate seemed excited to play. Good. She gave a wave and a cheery smile. Commotion from behind her indicated that Simon’s bludger landed, and Clair just took a serious blow. She turned around and offered a sympathetic look before flying back over to get in the game.

Colin and Violet both seemed to have spotted the snitch. Good. They could gain the upper hand at any moment.
