Chasers and Keepers

The quaffle was thrown back into the air as Mellani, Koko, and Finnegan raced towards it. Finnegan grabbed it the first two times and scored easily into the open Slytherin hoops. Next, Koko grabbed the quaffle and raced over to the Gryffindor hoops just to have her throw blocked by Ashleigh. Finnegan grabbed and scored the quaffle once more while Mellani passed the quaffle to Koko who failed to score again.

Haley had attempted to deter Slytherin's keeper, Dan by using her elbows. Dan evaded her attack as Haley evaded the referees darting eyes.

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

Seekers

The seekers of Dan and Elsian must have had their eyes elsewhere as neither of them were able to spot the snitch again.

Beaters

Only one bludger was hit this round by Percival who sent it straight towards Hannah. The bludger squarely hit Hannah and ricocheted towards Alexander, knocking both of them unconscious and off their brooms.

The other bludger went rogue as it headed towards the Gryffindor seeker in the attempt to deal damage to Elsian. The idea was short-lived as Elsian carefully avoided the bludger while on her snitch hunt.

Maggie took a more aggressive route as she went alongside Finnegan and knocked him off his broom in clear sight of the referee. The referee blew their whistle and yelled "Hawkins, Penalty Lap!".

With three more Gryffindor bodies added to the littering of them on the pitch, a whole quidditch team could be made of those on the ground.

Outcome

- Finnegan scores 30 points for Gryffindor.
- Hannah is hit by a bludger and is KOB.
- Alexander is hit by a bludger and is KOB.
- Finnegan is blatched and is KOB.
- No one finds the snitch.

Disclaimer: Koko's thoughts and feelings are not my own. I appreciate all of you Gryffindors and think you're super cool OOC!

Koko thought she was ready to go back into the Quaffle-grabbing foray, neglecting her beloved golden rings in favour of one-upping Conner or something of that sort. She thought at least she or Mellani would be better, somehow.

When Finnegan stole the Quaffle not once, but twice without Koko even touching it, the blonde's usually-pleasant features twisted into a halfhearted sneer as she grit her teeth together. It was like she had gotten worse. All of their successes so far hadn't even been because of her, anyway; they had been the result of teamwork. But this felt personal. If she saw Conner sometime after this, he would likely not let her forget it. Bested by a second year! Ugh.

When she finally got her hands on the Quaffle, an almost maniacal grin spread across her lips. She raced towards the other side of the pitch, all thoughts forgotten other than Score, score, score, repeated like a mantra inside her victory-driven brain.

Score she did not. The look on her face was probably priceless. She felt her mouth open dumbly, her jaw dropping in horror as she was, yet again, bested by a second year. Her hands gripped her broom even tighter as a screech worked its way into her throat. Thankfully, she had already angrily zoomed away from Gryffindor's hoops, so any sound that managed to escape her lips was lost to the bitter wind. When she attempted to attack the Quaffle again, it was not so much practised or disciplined but rather wild: in her frenzy for some feeling of victory, she wished she didn't have her Keeper gloves on so that she could scratch someone, something, anything, just to get the stupid Quaffle.

Maybe it wasn't a good thing that Mellani got the Quaffle next. Or, perhaps, better worded: Maybe it wasn't a good thing Mellani passed the Quaffle to Koko. The sixth year caught the damn thing, okay? But as she flew back to the Gryffindor hoops, putting her best pompous, rude, evil Slytherin expression on her face, she saw in shades of violent red. She hurled the Quaffle at the hoops, every memory of training eluding her as it left her fingers. The other Keeper caught it easily, so easily it was embarrassing. Koko had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from yelling at the other girl ─ good sportsmanship and shit was still important, the girl halfheartedly supposed.

She mouthed an apology that managed to be bitter, angry and genuine at the same time to @Mellani Miller before checking the sky for Slytherin casualties. She couldn't care less about Gryffindor casualties, and she found herself glad to see red-cloaked entities falling from the sky. Good, she thought. Let them fall.

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]

Ability: Immune to broken broomshaft. Has an increased capacity. Can carry 4 people. If the driver has the savior ability and they use the Return to Broom action, they can return two people in a round rather than just one. May attach a compass.

The smile on Percival's face remained stretched aggressively across his face as he flew through the air. Wind whipping at his exposed cheeks, knuckles turning ever so slightly red from the cool air. Fingers tightly wrapped around his bat as he knocked a bludger into the first unfortunate red cloaked person he saw. The boy could not help but let out a laugh as he watched his bludger ricochet off straight into another person. It seemed he had killed two birds with one stone. Sportsmanship be damned, the boy thought as he watched the red cloaks fall from the sky. Percival would glance towards Avery Chen. His smile falling into a smirk as he focused back on the game.

Reducio

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.

@Avery Chen

Argahlon continued to sit on the bench with Wren at their side while the Quidditch match seemed to get a bit violent. Many of the Gryffindor team was getting knocked off their brooms, which was giving Slytherin more people in the air to score. Either way, Arg was barely interested in what was going on, he seemed to be daydreaming about something. Whatever it was, the young boy was certainly not paying any attention to what was going on around them.

This match was becoming interesting each and every round. But Atlas' vocal cords were becoming painful due to the constant cheering and screaming. Luckily he had a bottle of water near by and he took a gulp. “Ah, that's better!” he said to himself. “Beaaaa!!” the boy said excitedly. “Sorry I didn't notice you, this game got me pumped up. My voice hurts due to the constant screaming and cheering.” he chuckled.

He watched, frozen in a mixture of amusement and shock as Rainwood ended the match for two Gryffindors with a single crack of his bat. Avery returned the older boy's smug smile with a twitch of the lips in acknowledgement for his teammate, but unwilling to leap with joy and praise for his old nemesis. "Was that just luck, Rainwood?" he teased. "I'll believe it's skill only if I see it again."

A small grin set on Beatrice’s lips as she watched three red figures fall out of the sky. At this point, the Gryffindor’s must have started feeling desperate. Their players were going down like flies, dropping to the ground with no savior. While Slytherin was not scoring this round, there was still a positive outlook.
Pulled from the game, the call of a familiar voice let Beatrice’s gaze move to a fellow benched Slytherin. The grin was wiped and replaced with a smile, as her eyes met Atlas. „Atlas! Hi! Yes, it’s quite a mess up there, but I’m still positive - our team is doing good so far.” She moved a tiny bit closer, to be able to continue the conversation without screaming. „How are you? Prefect live treating you good?” Beatrice asked, moving her eyes back to the game to see what was going on.

Well, it seemed like nothing was really going to work today, at least not for Haley. While the strategy was going in a direction she least liked, it was still part of the game. While she didn't focus on the Quaffles this time, she still cheered for every point Finnegan scored for the Lions. But her focus was mostly on the opposing keeper and a foul play she would not be proud of. But Dan was quick and was able to evade her attack. Luckily for her, the whole thing went unseen and before she could get too upset, she put her strength and energy into the play and flew a quick arc to focus on the rest of the game.

Wren took her eyes off the game and glanced over at Argahlon he seemed distant "What's on your mind?" she asked him giving his hand a squeeze just before her name was called. She was surprised this was her first game and she had expected to be benched for all of it. She looked over at Argahlon and waited for his response for a moment before rushing onto the pitch and mounting her broom before kicking off the ground. It was a shaky start to the flight but as soon as she got the hang of it all she could feel was adrenaline and she was ready to play.
