Quidditch Slytherin vs Hufflepuff - Winter 2023

February 2023

xxxAvery Chen, witless wonder (just joking, of course), had taken the field. Maggie clapped briefly as he entered before diving back into the action. There was something so surreal, so special, about playing together in the sky. Their first encounter with Quidditch at Hogwarts had been that fateful training session with one another (and Cash Ironwoods).

ABILITIES Calming Presence (Allies are Slytherin Team)

MENTIONS @none

Well well looks like old Quinn wqs doing well. Even the others were impressed and for omce Harlin had shut up. It made it easier to think and process which soeaking of that. He needed to focus back on the match. That last strike was a real boin and confidence booster for him. 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.

Whatever weirdly dazed that had engulfed the Cloud Cobras earlier in the round, had been broke free as their teammates finally spring back into action. Koko had managed to block Howard's attempt on scoring the Quaffle not only once but twice. As the next Quaffle grab was launched into the air, it was time for Maggie to shine.

Inspired by Koko's blocking from Howard's attempt for scoring, Maggie managed to score 20 points against the badgers' hoops and thus putting the Cloud Cobras back into the game and on the right track. The Slytherin Quidditch team is still down 40 points from the black and yellow team but Cash believes in their teammate that they will catch up with the lost point.

The green and silver team was known for their tenacity and they will prevail at the end, one way or another. On the other Beaters' side, Cash had been instructed to bludgered Howards and so does Erin. But just like the previous round, Howard managed to evade both attempts to knock him off of his broom with ease.

The green eyes were too busy maiming at Howards that they did not see the littl e menace of bludger that was hit by Quinn Healy was coming and directed to them. It was too late as the iron ball hit their head so hard that the force managed to knock Cash off their broom.

As they free falling to the ground with black dots and stars surrounding their back vision, Cash felt like their heart drop into their stomach. But before Cash could manage to hit the ground, Tyranni was there to save them. The bludger that hit their head almost successfully emptied their stomach as a wave of nausea assaulted them.

"Thanks,"Cash said to Tyranni as they swallow down the nauseous feeling. The fourth-year Prefect took a deep breath to control the splitting headache that they felt. It is always like this. It was either the Beaters or Seeker who got targeted first. But Cash will not go down without a fight until they were really unconscious or unable to play the game for the next rounds to come.

At least whatever unsuspecting evil that had overcome Slytherin team seemed to have passed and everyone was moving again. An unexpected start to the game to be sure, but she had no control over it so the time to move forward was now. Zipping around the pitch, she monitored all her teammates for any remaining anomalous behaviors. Luckily she was paying attention, as she watched the bludger soar towards Cash, knocking them off broom, getting to the beater before they made contact with the ground.

CHASERS

The Quaffle would not go ignored. Howard and Ethen seemed to be forming some sort of plan, but whilst doing so, Maggie would swoop in and grab the Quaffle from Howard twice. With the Slytherin keeper, Koko, being too concerned for any falling team members, Maggie would have no issue with easily scoring twice.

"And there's 20 more for Slytherin!"

But Howard would retaliate with his and Ethen's plan. He'd snatch the Quaffle up before Maggie could get it again, and throw it over to Ethen, who'd use his broom to hit the Quaffle through the goal uncontested, as Atlas was busy being Rita's chauffeur.

"Ooh, that's another 10 for Hufflepuff!"

Maggie'd not be fooled by this new strategy and manage to swipe the Quaffle quickly before Howard could, scoring once more.

"More for Slytherin, add another 10!"

However, Howard would finish off by grabbing the Quaffle again, and casually tossing it to Ethen who'd use his broom again to score.

"And yet an additional 10 to Hufflepuff!"

All while this was happening, Avery would fly round the pitch on his penalty and only be able to observe. Tyranni would ignore the Quaffle and elect to return Cassandra back to their broom.

BEATERS

There was a substantial less amount of bludgers flying than the previous round. Rita and Atlas would hover protectively around Ethen as he scored, but nobody would choose to target him.

But there would still be a few. Quinn would cast his eye to the chaser-beater duo, Tyranni and Cassandra. When their backs would be turned to get the beater back to their broom, he'd strike. The bludger wouldn't be enough to make them fall from their broom, but it would still be a pretty rough hit, mostly absorbed by the chaser, Tyranni.

Once again, he'd tried to aim a ricochet at Erin, but the part-veela would be too alluring and he'd find himself unable to. Instead, the bludger would go soaring towards another fellow Hufflepuff chaser, Howard. He'd skilfully manage to dodge, however.

SEEKERS

Dan would still be distanced from the action as he scanned the skies for the snitch. However, after some distractions, he'd finally manage to catch a glimpse of it.

Clark was split from his previous formation of the Hawkshead- and he smiled. After all, he had a tendency to wander away from what he needed to do. He felt a bit- drab- doing things with a team. But yet, what other way is there to prove that Clark was competent enough to win a game?

Ding after ding had been rung out throughout the Pitch. Maggie chases one Quaffle after another. Although Howard still manage to catch up with the Cloud Cobra team in term of scoring the quaffle, it did not deter the ex-Prefect of Slytherin to score on the opposite team goal and making her the hero of the round.

"GO MAGS!"Behind Tyranni's broom that Cash astride, they cheered. They were proud of how far Maggie had become. They alongside Avery Chen were there on the first day when both of the aspire Chaser practice and tryout for the position that both Chenn and Hawkins hold today. Seeing Maggie soaring through the sky effortlessly and without any doubt, make them feel like a proud parent to both of them.

And since Lucina was not much of a help, Chen had been promoted to first-string Chaser. "Congrats, Chen!"They shouted still riding on the back of Tyranni's broom. The celebration was short-lived since Tyranni finally bring the Prefect of Slytherin back to their own broom. But before Tyrani could be returned the green eyes back on their broom safely, the Beater-Chaser duo got jostled up by a bludger.

Cash grip on Tyranni's broom shaft as hard as they could muster so they did not fall for the second time. The hit is pretty rough and Cash had some inkling who had the audacity to send the iron ball of death with that big of a force. "Holy shit!"They cursed out of surprise. They winced out but Tyranni was the one who absorbed most of it.

"Are you okay, Whitethorn?"Cash asked the Co-Captain of their beloved green and silver team. Once Tyranni answered Cash's query, the green eyes will nod their head. Not long before that, Tyranni had returned Cash to their broom. "Thanks once again for saving me,"They uttered. With their last dying effort, Cash jumped out from the back of Tyranni's broom to their Firebolt.

It seems this time Hufflepuff is out with a vengeance since the last two matches had been beaten by the snake team. The soreness had covered all their body and yet Cash was not giving up just yet. They know if one more hit was struck upon them, Cash will be out of the game. But even if they were out of the game for the next round yet to come, they hope the Cloud Cobra will win the whole thing.
