Quidditch Slytherin vs Hufflepuff - Winter 2023

She just did not know who to start with. Without an order from her captain, she malingered in the air and Hufflepuff went on the offensive. In a flurry of movement all she knew was she was still perched on the back of her broom. She would tighteen her grip on the handle of her bat and yell towards Dan Palmer - "where do I start boss?"

Action: Whatever Dan submits.

Broom:

Firebolt

• +4 to a single stat of choice (picked accuracy)
• In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).
• In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.
  
  Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally.

Well Quinn wasnt taken out in the first seconds of the match. Progress great progress actually. All there was to do now is stick to the plan and change it up as needed. He was surveying the field and itching for more action. He'd use every second and every opportunity to help lead his house to another victory.

CHASERS

Slytherin would finally realise the game had begun, and take swift action about it. However, Hufflepuff had already got into the swing of things. Their chasers would group together with Howard leading the way as he grabbed the Quaffle, however Koko would be better prepared and stop the Quaffle from being thrown through the hoop. They'd try again, but Koko, having now warmed up, would successfully stop Howard scoring yet again.

"Koko stops Howard from scoring! Ooh, and again!"

Maggie, having realised what Howard was doing, would dive in, inspired from Koko's successful blocks, and snatch the Quaffle before Howard could grab it another time. She'd shoot towards the goals and score the first points for Slytherin. And she'd do it again, bringing Slytherin up to 20.

"Maggie steals the Quaffle from Hufflepuff to score Slytherin's first goal of the game! Oh, watch out, she's done it again!"

But would she be able to do it a third? Howard would make sure she couldn't, grabbing the Quaffle right back from her and, with his fellow chasers beside him, would shoot past Koko to add another 10 points to Hufflepuff's total.

"And Howard grabs the Quaffle right back, scoring another 10 points for Hufflepuff!"

BEATERS

However, one of the Slytherin chasers seemed to be missing. Eyes would turn to Avery as he'd step up from his seat on the bench and take to the skies. His first actions... he'd turn his sights to Hufflepuff Captain, Quinn Healy, and fly towards him with the intention of taking him down. But Rita would swoop in the way, tumbling from her broom in the place of the Captain. How noble of her. Luckily enough, Atlas would be waiting, ready to catch her from a painful fall to the ground. Avery wouldn't get away with it, however.

"Oi, Chen! You can't be doing that-penalty lap!"

Alongside Avery, Cassandra and Erin would both set their sights on taking down the top-scoring chaser of this game, Howard. But the chaser was hard to hit, especially flying with his peers. Both Erin and Cassandra's bludgers would miss as he'd slip by.

Quinn, having seen his fellow beater take the hit for him, would retaliate in a splendidly grand fashion. He'd swing his bat towards Cassandra, the bludger connecting spectacularly and shooting right towards them at a tremendous speed. It'd land and connect right in their head, so hard that it'd knock them from their broom (and likely cause a nasty headache). That would be Tyranni's cue to swoop in and save them from hitting the ground.

The connection would result in the bludger ricocheting towards another. Quinn would attempt to aim it in the direction of Erin, but her alluring charm wouldn't allow him to target her. Instead, it would shoot towards his own teammate, Alma. Thankfully for the young chaser, the chasers around her would allow her to dodge out of the way.

SEEKERS

The seekers would go quite unnoticed, hovering above as they scanned the skies for the snitch. Dan, finally having got his head in the game, would have to spend longer looking. However, Ethen would be able to spot the golden object.

The boy had not paid much attention during the first few rounds of play. Perhaps nerves had gotten to the young badger, it was his first quidditch game after all. In any event, he sat silently, keeping the bench toasty and warm as he waited and watched the game unfold. In due course, his opportunity may come, or it could not. Such was the way of quidditch.

Well, Rita and the whole Hufflepuff team was both lucky and unlucky in this second round. Maggie earned 10 more points than Howard, but with the 50 points in the first round, the badgers were still in the lead when it came to how many points they earned, so the Hufflepuff team was still in a pretty good shape, at least until this round.

On the beater`s site, the cunning snakes used a foul move and knocked the poor second year first-string beater out of the broom, but hopefully their keeper, Atlas saved Rita on her broom. A plus point was Quinn successfully knocked Cash down using his bludger, though they were still saved by Tynanni, it was still a pretty good achievement. Sharing a broom with Atlas, Rita again prayed to God silently to bring the whole Hufflepuff team some luck in the next round, and hopefully they could win the match again.

A sharp glare and Clark attempted to lock eyes with the ridiculous opponents- randomly deciding to select someone to scream at. "Get your acts together! You know what we're here for! Just change allegiance now! There's no other outcome! We shall remain the best house in every way possible!" He smiled grimly from his joined ranks of Alma and David.

Howard did his best to keep his composure as Koko blocked two of his first shots. Things had gone according to plan. He had quickly snatched the Quaffle and with Clark and Alma guarding his six he flew towards the enemies hoops with speed. Yet try as he might, Koko had his number today. He and his fellow Chaser would try to regroup as Maggie from Slytherin scored two on their empty hoops. They would at least end the round by scoring one. Things had not gone exactly to plan for the Hufflepuff Chasers, but the rest of the team would fair pretty well.
