Quidditch Slytherin vs Gryffindor - Winter 2024

It was time for another Quidditch match, Mari was almost freezing on the bench after warming up her limbs, and also getting warmer. It was her second game, and Mari just wanted this game to have the same result as the Slytherin's previous one.

Slytherin against... arg... Gryffindor she thought as she warmed her hand, she absolutely didn't want to lose even more to Gryffindor. She glanced quickly at her teammates who were warmed up just minutes before the game began, and gave a slight smile as she began to see people filling the stands for a classic at Hogwarts.

xxConsidering their previous triumph on the pitch, Maggie was operating off a somewhat inflated ego. Just a little bit—after all, she’d performed well and that warranted some recognition, did it not? The inflated ego, however, mostly just served to create an unrealistic standard for this game. If she couldn’t manage to pull out a win or otherwise stun on the pitch, well, was it even worth it? Hardly concerned enough to be bothered, though, Maggie made her ceremonious entrance. Gripping her broomstick with one hand, waving with all the grace and glory of the queen, she soared out over the well-manicured grass, smile bright.

Action: Going to the bench and starting a conversation with Argahlon

Wren was excited for her first game on the team. She was very much benched but she was none the less excited for the game. She could not wait for the game to start! The sounds of the crowd was slightly overstimulating but she would live. She started to make her way to the bench. That's when she spotted Argahlon, she had totally forgotten her was on the quidditch team or maybe he didn't tell her, she could not remember. She hurried over to him "Argahlon hi! she said cheerfully waving at him.

Chasers and Keepers

The sound of a whistle blew through the crowd and the game was underway! As the quaffle rose in the air, Mellani, Maggie, Koko, Haley, and Finnegan all headed straight towards it. The 3 Slytherin chasers were able to fully shut out the Gryffindors during the quaffle grabs. When Mellani or Maggie grabbed the quaffle they would immediately pass it off to Koko who would try to quickly score it. On one occasion, Koko's throw was completely blocked by Ashleigh who was guarding the rings in the starfish position.

The remaining chasers in Avery and Hannah were on watch for any players of their team that they could save from falling. Unfortunately, they would be unable to do so.

Seekers

While the quaffle was tossed around left and right, both seekers of Dan and Elisan were fully focused on finding the snitch. With the snow still lightly falling, neither one would be able to spot the elusive snitch.

Beaters

The two bludgers did not get the chance to go after unsuspecting players as they were quickly hit by both teams. Erin backbeated a bludger so hard that it took out both Pax and Ethan of Gryffindor. This one bludger knocked the two beaters out and off their brooms.

Right before the bludger reached him, Pax hit one of his own straight towards Dan, the Slytherin seeker. Flying out in front of him just in time, Cassandra took the full weight of the bludger that then richocheted towards Erin and hit her. These hits from Pax were not enough to knock either off of their broom, but luckily Ethan completed the job. Ethan sent the same bludger flying towards Cassandra and Erin, knocking them both off of their brooms.

The grass of the quidditch pitch was littered with the bodies of both teams beaters who had taken out each other.

Outcome

- Koko scores 40 points for Slytherin.
- Pax is hit by a bludger and is KOB.
- Ethan is hit by a bludger and is KOB.
- Cassandra is hit by two bludgers and is KOB.

Before the game officially started, a loudly shouted 'Ms. Riddle!' in a familiar voice caught Koko's attention. She glanced around to see none other than Finnegan Conner, Gryffindor Chaser, whom she had met on the train last autumn. She smiled warmly and waved at him, although her smile did fade when she realised what she was saying ─ only for the smile to be replaced with a laugh and a grin. 'So you did!' she said, any bitterness gone for the moment. She had gotten used to being shorter than even the younger kids.

However, Koko's competitive side would take over when Finnegan asked her to let his goals through. 'As if,' she retorted, her tone still light with remnants of jest even though she was being completely truthful with him. She had no intent to be kind today ─ or, well, at least once the game started.

Their strategy was different than usual, at least this time. Koko more than trusted everyone to know what to do, especially the beaters. If everything went right, Koko wouldn't even need to defend the goals. She just had to hope Slytherin could out-chase Gryffindor's Chasers. She stared at the Quaffle, her previously-warm amber gaze hardening as her brain went into what she dubbed 'Quidditch mode' ─ there was no more kindness, only ruthless cunning and a desire to win as Koko flew into the Quaffle-grabbing foray with her fellow Slytherins, Mellani and Maggie.

Between the three of them, they hardly let the other team touch the Quaffle. A smug grin slipped onto Koko's lips as Maggie passed her the Quaffle, and she scored, and then she got it and scored, and then Maggie passed it to her again, and then Mellani passed it to her. It was then that their luck faded, albeit only for a short moment. As Koko readied herself to toss the ball through the hoops, she fumbled it, and she wasn't even all that surprised when Gryffindor's Keeper easily blocked it.

It wouldn't happen again, Koko told herself. She hadn't trained all summer, and all year, for failure.

Maybe it was rage that led her to snatch the Quaffle the next time. She grit her teeth and scored, too, but that didn't do anything to assuage the bitterness rolling within her. Acid burned in her throat as she ruminated. She would fix it. She would fix her wrongs, and she would not make another mistake. She couldn't let her team down like that.

She glanced around hopefully, wondering if Dan had seen the Snitch yet. A careful sweep of the Pitch was inconclusive, and she frowned. Generally, Dan saw the Snitch quickly, but he hadn't seemed to catch wind of it. Hopefully he was just hiding that he had seen it?

Then she saw the falling ─ red and gold, initially, brought a smile to her face, but when she saw the Cloud Cobras' green and silver falling through the sky, she gulped. Another survey of the Pitch revealed that it was Cash and Erin who had fallen ─ their wonderful, amazing Beaters who had, at the very least, not gone down without fighting. Koko couldn't bring herself to smile at the fact that Pax and Ethan were down ─ not at the price that had come at.

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]

Argahlon was sitting on the bench with Elsian’s blanket over their shoulder and his eyes were on the players in the air. The cold sickened him, but he was on the team and had no choice but to cheer on his fellow Gryffindor teammates. But while sitting on the bench and gazing at the others flying around, a familiar voice rang out, which caused Argahlon to look in the direction it came from. The young boy’s eyes lit up instantly at the sight of Wren Mornstern all dressed up in quidditch gear. "Oi, Wren! Yanno, those colors look good on you." He admitted with a smile forming in the process.

As the game officially got started, Argahlon finally put his focus on everything that was happening. It all came so fast, almost as if it were near impossible to keep up with all the action going on. With a smile still on their face, Argahlon continued to watch on from the bench and suddenly Slytherin scored. Ugh, it was already starting and Argahlon rolled their eyes in the process, while trying to spot Elsian in the pitch to see if they were having any luck finding the snitch.

─────“BEST OF LUCK TEAM!” Atlas encouraged his teammates to give it their all. Besides this being his first time watching a quidditch match, he found everything to be so intriguing that he was unable to take his eyes off of it.

Atlas was so excited that the Slytherins were having a great first round that he couldn't contain his excitement. He hoped that the match's overall turnout would be as good as it was in the beginning. Atlas let out his voice when Koko, one of his fellow prefects, managed to score for their house's team.

Despite our two beaters facing challenges and one being knocked off, the young Slytherin prefect smiled—feeling proud of his team's performance.

Blue eyes followed racing players, going from one place to another, grabbing the quaffle and scoring. Koko scored and it looked like it was going well, until Beatrice caught sight of the Beaters. Four bodies dropped from the sky, including Cassandra and Erin. Her eyes went wide and she sucked in a sharp breath. While they had brought the two Gryffindors with them, they were now without Beaters in the Sky. Hopefully, Dan would find the snitch fast.

He smirked in amusement as Pax refused to take it easy on the Slytherins. Well, he was interested to see what the other team had in store for them, in this case!

Soon enough, the sound of beater bats filled the air, and all he could do was hover around as he watched for teammates to rescue. The ensuing bloodbath caused him to swear under his breath -- both Erin and Cash fell, and no amount of diving on his end could save them. Now, it was up to that Rainwood to help them. "Rainwood, you better be warmed up!" he called over to that blockhead, hoping he could do what he'd been practicing to do.

Percical couldn't believe it as he watched Erin fall through the sky. His heart caught in his throat as he gripped onto his broom tighter. It seemed he would get some air time today after all. The boy mounted his broom and made his way up into the air. His eyes narrowed as he looked towards Chen as he spoke. "Why? Because I'm the only thing keeping you from dying up here?" He asked with a snort a smile blooming across his face. Now in a fairly good mood being free up in the air. "Don't worry your little head, Chen." The boy looked away from him readying his bat as he looked about the playing field.

1. 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).

2. 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.
