Quidditch Slytherin vs Gryffindor - Winter 2024

Ethan was frozen—literally. Is it the cold winter weather, or the fear of getting hit by the bludger again, maybe even getting knocked around like a human piñata—he's so tense, it's like he's holding a broom in his teeth. His hands are numb—not just from the cold, but because he's just too darn nervous to grip the broom properly. He was one lucky duck that his broom didn't end up in a thousand pieces.

He takes a deep breath and looks around the pitch, barely able to see the sun hidden behind the clouds. “Winter... I hate winter,” he mutters under his breath.

Ethan looks at his team and gives them a little pep talk. “Now that we've won the last game, let's not get too cocky. We need to stay focused and humble.” After a brief pause, he took a deep breath. “Okay, let's do this! Remember WE'RE THE MIGHTIEST GRYFFINDORS, the BRAVEST OF THE BRAVE! No matter the result, we can be proud of ourselves. So let's go out there and do our best!” he yelled, thrusting both of his fists into the air.

...he cleared his throat after realizing he had raised his voice and lifted his fist a little too high. He sighed and scratched his neck, feeling a little bit embarrassed for what he had done. “Eh, that was a bit much, wasn't it?” He laughed awkwardly...

He glanced at Pax to see if he had anything to add. He mounted his broom and prepared for the next game.

Reducio

Broom: Firebolt (+4 to 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.

Stats:
STA 10 | EVA 7 | STR 10 | WIS 2 | ARC 2 | ACC (10) 14

Abilities:
1. Broken Broomshaft

• Bludger attacks that knock a player off a broom (KOB) made by players with this ability have a 25% chance to also break said player's broom. Bludgering, bludger backbeats, and richochets apply.

2. Calming Presence (Gryffindor team)

• Allies gain a 10% chance to auto-hit on all actions needing an accuracy vs evasion roll. This does not stack.

They/She

New year, new game and new Pax. They were ready for today. Of course, they couldn't be too arrogant about their last victory, because it could easily crumble once again, but the win had inspired confidence in themself and their abilities.

After an inspiring yet energetic speech from their co-captain, Pax grinned. "No, I love the enthusiasm. But remember your training. Don't get too complacent out there. Stay vigilant. But also everything Ethan said. Go Lions!"

They joined Ethan with a fist pump into the air and a reassuring smile towards the team, as a shout from their friend Avery caught their attention from across the pitch. With a smirk, they shouted back, "You wish!" before mounting their broom. There was no way they were gonna take it easy on the Slytherins.

This might have been the first time Koko was openly glad for the sheer thickness of her Keeper gear. She found that the sturdy leather mostly protected her from the icy wind. Her nose remained cold, but a decent amount of her body was protected by leather padding, and she knew almost immediately that she wouldn't be hindered, at least not by the cold, today.

They were playing Gryffindor today, which Koko was nervous about. But she was nervous about anything ─ they could have been playing a team of rocks, and she would have been worried, and not for the rocks. The Gryffindor team were obviously better than any sort of rocks, but Koko told herself to stay positive. She glanced around at the team ─ her team, her teammates ─ and smiled. 'You've got this!' She would clap her hands together. Whether that was for warmth or support, no one would ever know. 'Believe in yourselves and have fun. Go Cloud Cobras!'

With that, Koko would mount her broom and ready herself to kick off. She ached to get into the air, where at least she would be actively exercising, her body warming to adapt to the cold. For now, she waited, allowing a small glance at Avery, who had asked Gryffindor to go easy on the snakes. A valiant effort, she supposed, although she hoped they wouldn't need Gryffindor to go easy on them.

Alluring Reducio If a Part-Veela is being attacked there will be an urge to assist or protect them. Each round there is a 10% chance that an opponent in a duel or a moderated situation will decide to ally with the Part-Veela even against their own allies and attempt to protect them. This is not necessarily a romantic thing, but rather could be roleplayed as a fascination, a desire to not let something pretty be ruined, etc. This has nothing to do with sexual attraction unless as an RP'er that is what the user wishes to RP it as. This ability does not affect other Veela or Part-Veela. It will not stack if multiple Veela or Part-Veela are present. Evasive Maneuvers - 10% Auto-dodge Scream: N/A Calming Presence - Allies (which are SLYTHERIN) have 10% chance of auto-success Keeper's Catch - Will be specified in actions sent Reducio 10% chance to automatically block an attempt to score a goal as long as the Keeper is taking an action in the goal area. If an attempt to score has been blocked through this effect, the Keeper may take one of the following three as a free action: hurl the quaffle at the opponent team in an attempt to injure a player of their choice, pass the quaffle to a teammate who is taking a quaffle-related action, or attempt to score on the opponent. This must be declared by the Keeper if any of these free actions are to be utilized, for example: Keeper: Block [& Pass to x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the pass recipient must be taking a quaffle related action Keeper: Starfish and Stick [& Attack x if Keeper's Catch goes off] - the action will be equivalent to a bludger action Keeper: Block [& Score if Keeper's Catch goes off]

The air passing through Beatrice's lips went from see through to foggy and the cold was stinging in her face. They were going against Gryffindor today. The sea of red and green spread across the bleachers as Beatrice took her place on the bench. Her silver arrow was secure in her hands, her eyes focused on the players up in the sky. This was going to be good.

Atlas was feeling intense today. Having never played in a Quidditch match before, he was somewhat nervous. Still, he was hoping for the best and was rooting for his side to perform extraordinarily well. Although there are undoubtedly good players on the opposing team as well, Slytherin is prepared to battle and win this game.

He sighed slightly, taking in his surrounding. “Best of luck to us,” he said to himself.

Percival sat on the bench staring up at as his team began to take their positions. A neutral face rested on his face as he thought back on his Uncle Terrence's words. Quidditch wasn't everything. Spoken so plainly and so harshly. He had an idea how much his Uncle disliked the sport, and knew that he would rather Percival stay inside reading old dusty textbooks then being free in the sky. He just hadn't expected the older man to come out and say it. Percival's lips twitched into a frown as he clutched onto his broom a little tighter.

The Scottish highfields were powdered with snow and it was beautiful to look at, even if the wind would feel like needles on her cold skin as soon as Haley mounted the broom and moved across the field at high speed - she was sure of it. She didn't know which was better, freezing on the frozen seats or here on the broom. But she was thinking warm thoughts and as soon as the whistle sounded, she would no longer feel the cold, the adrenaline in her body would take care of that.

Still, she was worried about her hands, it was cold and wet, but she had better hit the goal and make her team and the cheering lions proud. As soon as the talking was done Haley clapped in her hands this time being quite with her thoughts.
