Take off had been a little shaky, but eventually the small brunette was able to get in the air with the rest of the players. As she watched them begin to play, she suddenly wondered to herself what exactly she had gotten herself into. They were flying around, some hitting the bludger as beaters and others passing the quaffle to each other as chasers. It had all been a little confusing for Winifrey, who had no experience with this whatsoever. So, after Aurelia had so kindly explained the game to her, Winirey had asked to be put wherever she was needed. And quite frankly, she was glad she was put in the easier position.

In fact, Aurelia was the only person she actually recognized and the fellow Gryffindor was not even on her team. She did not recognize any of the other faces as she stayed floating near the goal posts that she was meant to be protecting. If she was seeing correctly, there was some bludger activity happening along with her team heading towards their opponents goal posts with the quaffle.

Winifrey decided to search the area for the golden snitch while the others played.

Main Action: Seek

Frost smirks as she hops onto the school broom. She didn’t have her own, so this will do for now. She had never played quidditch before now. 

She has read some books about the sport and has flown a total of two times. She hoped she had enough knowledge to last her.

She runs her hand along the the broom’s handle. She feels the smoothness of the dark wood.

Frost hovers in the air and secures herself and makes sure she’s steady. Slowly, she ascends higher into the air.

The girl takes her position on the left side of Phaedra and grips the broomstick, ready to move. She smirks and cracks her knuckles. The Hufflepuff girl always had a competitive side.

The referee, Kaegan Deathmote, signaled the beginning of the game. 

Frost smiles as she sees him toss the quaffle to Phaedra.  He releases the small golden ball, the snitch. It zooms by so quickly, it just looked like a flash of gold. 

The beaters of the other team had threw their bludgers. Charles went off to find the snitch. Phaedra and Andy, her fellow chasers, had passed the quaffle. From what she could tell, Frost had some pretty good teammates. They looked well capable.

Frost tucked in her yellow Hufflepuff scarf and leaned down on her broomstick, picking up speed. The girl secured her area. She zoomed by, carefully not to collide or fall.

She would just be on the lookout and be ready for the quaffle to come to her.
Main Action: Be ready for the quaffle 
Movement Action: Fly around, on guard

The wind tousled his messy hair as he watched the others take flight. He had heard of the game by word of mouth and since his time at the campout, he was eager. The frustration that had built up from the days since past left him at an end where he was ready to break something in half. He wasn't some rage filled monster, but he was someone with a tiny chip on his shoulder and a pair of restless hands. Much of his time was spent avoiding people, but now here he was playing a pickup game with them. To his surprise, he didn't feel agitated in the slightest but instead a sense of relief to be doing this. These were faces that were fairly new to him, save maybe one or two. 

It was a game though and he reminded himself that, he knew how he could be if he let his emotions get the best of him. Winning was important, sure, but he wanted to enjoy it and have fun instead of seeming like a kid with a bad attitude. Cold and crisp air filled his lungs as he took to the sky without a moments notice, at least tried to. The school broom was an unsightly beast, one that was hard to tame and one that in fact had such a terrible personality. A bat was gripped in his bandaged hand as he went in search of that demonic ball called the Bludger. He knew how this game went for the most part, much of the anticipation for him was seeing if their seeker was in danger. 

Reid never personally met the seeker for team two, but he did his best to know who was who in the game. The mix of players threw him off, knowing everyone was in a different house but yet were separated to create two teams. He wished he properly knew everyone's names, but Reid adjusted the best he could in the limited time they had to know one another. He kept one steady hand on the broom to steady and the other one dragged as it held the bat. Momentum was his best gift, having enough swing felt like a critical thing from what he knew. 

As he zoomed through the field to get to Charles, he took note of where some people were in the game. Knowing that Eri was the other team's seeker, he realized she was around the mid-field and thus had every intention of making her his target. But first, he wanted to be near Charles when - there it was! Aurelia seemed to be gunning for the Bludger, right for their seeker. He drew himself forward and got his arm ready to intercept the blasted thing. 

Reid kept in mind the direction he was swinging the bat as well - mid-field towards Windstone was his goal. "Incoming!" he shouted at Moore. With a grunt, Reid swung the bat at the ball that Aurelia sent their way.

Action: Protect Charles Moore, No Movement, Counterstrike Bludger towards Eri Windstone (Mid-Field)

There was a knot in Lettie’s stomach that was the size of a baby whale. How had she let Benji convince her to do this?! All the weeks of carefully avoiding eye contact in Flying class, of sneaking out to the pitch when nobody was awake yet, all of her calculated adjustments she had made to protect her secret would go to waste in the blink of an eye. She had been adamantly against joining the game, but once he looked at her with those big baby blues and she could see how much he wanted to do this, she was defenseless. How was she going to continue to hide her secret now?

Since he was small, Benji had always had dreams of being a star Quidditch Player. His brother had taught them a few tricks after he had taken Flying Class at Hogwarts, and Benji truly wasn’t bad. With a little bit of polishing, he might actually turn out to be quite good. He had overslept on the morning of the Quidditch Tryouts and hadn’t been able to make it in time before the team had been chosen. Benji didn’t like to live his life with many regrets, but this was certainly one of them. That’s why when he had heard there was going to be a bit of a friendly match going on, he was all for it, and naturally he wanted Lettie to be there with him. With how much she disliked flying, he knew this would be a bit of a stretch, but in the end, he was able to convince her. From the look on her face, she was severely regretting that now, though. However much he wanted to help, he dared not say anything to her, knowing full well that it would only make her more upset with him. When Lettie was in a mood, it was really best to just not disturb her.

Lettie was stiff as a board as she mounted her broom, shooting burning glares at Benji whenever she got the chance. She’d made him promise to stick close to her in the event she needed help, and she would make sure that he would make good on that promise. Thankfully, they had both been placed as chasers on the same team, so she didn’t think it would prove to be too difficult.

If looks could kill, Lettie would have been taken off to Azkaban a dozen times already. Benji could feel the heat of her stare, but he did his best to ignore it. He just kept grinning, thinking about how refreshing it was to have the sun on his face and the wind in his hair. As the match began, Benji offered his hand to his best friend for support, just as he had done many times before when they were flying back home. “Are you ready?” he grinned.

Main Action: Attempt to intercept the Quaffle that is being passed to Andy.
Movement: Try to intercept with a steady hand.
Reactionary: Keep a look out just in case.

The Ravenclaw Boy announced the start of the match, and Lettie felt her heart skip a beat. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to re-center herself before grabbing Benji’s hand and holding on tight.

“I’ll have you know that if I die, it’s entirely your fault.” She grumbled, fearing the worst as she readied herself for the kick-off.


Benji couldn’t help but chuckle. “You won’t die, Lett. Now let’s go - 3, 2, 1…”

The two kicked off from the ground and came to a hover in mid-air. Lettie hastily struggled to stabilize herself. Though she remained completely still on her broom for the time being, her mind was going a mile a minute. She may not have the skills for Quidditch, but she certainly had observed and read enough about it to have a decent concept of the rules and strategy involved.



Benji was filled with the familiar sensation of weightlessness as they soared into the air. Lettie seemed to be doing alright, so he took some liberty to scout ahead a bit in search for the quaffle.

“Come ON, Lettie, they’ve already got a hold of the Quaffle!” he motioned to his friend impatiently.


“It won’t do us any good to mindlessly chase after them!” she exclaimed. “We need to wait for an opening.”

If she wasn’t so terribly afraid of falling to her untimely death, Lettie would have crossed her arms indignantly. Instead, she continued gripping on to her broom so tightly that her knuckles started turning white. She started to fly closer to the opposing team chasers, waiting for the opportune moment.

“YOU TAKE THE LEFT, I’LL TAKE THE RIGHT!” she shouted to Benji.


Benji was glad to see Lettie had finally started to move and was actually getting involved in the game. He did as he was told and flanked the chasers on the left hand side, readying himself. The moment one of them attempted to pass it, Benji sped up and outstretched his hand, attempting to catch the scarlet ball. It looked like Lettie had the same idea. He hoped that one of them would be able to catch it.

Just as she’d expected, the chasers made their first attempt at passing the Quaffle. Lettie held onto her broomstick as tight as she could, growing braver as she saw Benji swooping in for the catch as well. She reached for it with as steady a hand as she could manage and tried to grab it.

Main Action: Attempt an interception!

Team one took off to a fast start as ERI WINDSTONE took to the skies, flying midfield trying to find the snitch, but ultimately being unsuccessful. AMI PROCOPPIO hits the bludger at PHAEDRA STAVROU, who get startled and dodges, failing to throw the quaffle far enough, but easily evading AMI’s weak attack. As the bludger heads towards the space Phaedra once occupied, PARCEL leans forward, passing speeds that first years should safely take and hitting the bludger with a satisfying CRACK, sending it directly back to AMI PROCOPPIO who takes a heavy hit by the ball, getting knocked off balance and heading in a downwards spiral towards the ground before managing to regain control over the broom.
AURELIA BEZUIDENHOUT tried to succeed where AMI PROCOPPIO had failed, however CHARLES MOORE was able to barely move out of the way, allowing room for REID KOVACS to swoop in on his broom and give the bludger a THWACK that sent it flying into ERI WINDSTONE’s midsection, knocking the air of of her.
The quaffle thrown by PHAEDRA does not make it to ANDY, who is not close enough to attempt to catch the quaffle. COLETTE tries to intercept the quaffle, but bounces it off of her fingertips instead, accidentally sending it directly into the waiting arms of BENJAMIN ADDINGTON who now has possession over the quaffle. WINIFREY GOLDING gets a bit bored and scans for the snitch, but finds nothing. FROST CIRA flies around aimlessly.

------------------------------

EFFECTS:
Eri Windstone: -60 damage. Has the breath knocked out of her. (health 340)
Ami Procoppio: -60 damage. Is now close to the ground (140)
Benjamin Addington: Possession of quaffle

--------------------------------

These people were kind of pathetic. Okay, so they were really pathetic. Flying around and trying to accomplish something he couldn’t even fathom. That one girl had hit a bludger, failed at doing anything and ended up with a bludger directly hitting her chest. He was no expert, but that had to hurt. His eyes darted over to the gryff boy. He was supposed to commentate, wasn’t he? Or was he waiting for Kaegen to whisper to him. Well, if that was the case, he should probably start…

“A STRONG START BY TEAM 1. ERI WINDSTONE HEADS OUT TO MID FIELD TO AIMLESSLY DRIFT! Wait is she looking for… oh. Right. Seeker. WHILE LOOKING FOR TH-”
He was cut off by action, ami hitting the bludger.
“AMI FROM TEAM 1 LOOKING GOOD AS SHE HITS…. Ooooohh BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME, THAT WAS KIND OF WEAK. YEAH, SEE? PHAEDRA FROM TEAM 2 IS GOING TO DODGE THAT NO PROBLEM.”
The announcer’s prediction came true. He was mostly making it up as he went along, with occasional nudgings from Kaegen.
“PARCEL MOVING FAST! Woah, what kind of a broom- isn’t that dangerous? AND HE HITS! HE HITS IT BACK AT AMI! MAYBE NOT THE STRONGEST HIT BUT IT’S...”
He stopped his tirade as the solid SMACK of a bludger hitting the skin on the girls chest rang out, louder than he had been expecting. His expression of morbid horror only intensified as Ami began to spiral down, heading for a rough landing on the rocks. He wasn’t even sure if she could survive that.
“Oh no… AMI! AMI BRAKE! GO UP! DO SOMETHING!”
He wasn’t sure if the girl had heard him or not, but the broom pulled off last second. He was about to continue talking about the girl, but Kaegen had smacked him on the back of the head, pointing the young gryffindor to the other happenings he had been missing out on.
“Wait, where’s the bludge- AURELIA OF TEAM 1 HIT THE BLUDGER AT CHARLES OF TEAM 2! Oh, lord don’t hit. That last time I could feel it...”
His fears turned out to not be grounded, as charles moved up, shifting places with reid, who gave the bludger a solid whack with his bat.
“HE BLOCKED IT! HE BLOCKED IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! IT’S HEADING TOWARDS UPPER MID FIELD! Wait, there’s someone there! Oh, right how could I…? IT’S GOING TO HIT ERI!”
His chaotic story telling proved accurate, the ball hitting Eri in the stomach. Hard.
“Ow, what the heck this game is brutal. Wait where’s the quaffle? Wait how did… what? BENJAMIN OF TEAM 1 GOT THE QUAFFLE! TEAM ONE MAY HAVE BEATERS THAT DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BAT AND A WHISK, BUT THEY HAVE SOME GOOD CHASERS! MAYBE STICK WITH EGG BEATING, YOU TWO!”

As Eri scans the pitch she doesn't notice Reid hit the bludger towards her. When she turns facing him the bludger smacks into her stomach. Eri waits a second to regain her breath then curses inwardly. "What the bloody hell was that." Eri took a deep breath and sped up and started flying a bit faster so she could scan more ground. Hopefully she would see the snitch, but you never know she could get hit with another bludger.Which was very painful and she didn't want that to happen again. 


Eri watches as Benjamin has the quaffle and Ami doesn't hit the ground. This will be one interesting game. Most people haven't played before. Which was evident, but Eri kept her broom at a fast speed so it would be harder to hit her with a bludger. She heightened her awareness so she could be able to dodge an upcoming bludger and look for the snitch. And if anyone tries to hit her with the bludger again she is going to have a talk with them. Now she has to continue looking for the snitch and dodge bludgers cause that was painful and she was glad it didn't hit her head.

Main action: scan for snitch
Movement: Fly around the pitch.
Reactionary: dodge bludger that comes by.

Of all the... Ami groaned as the Bludger hit her, and nearly flipped the bird at Gryffindor who had hit the Bludger at her. She didn't, of course, remembering that she could probably get kicked out of the game for it, but it was tempting nonetheless. Without warning, she realized her broom was dive-bombing the grass, and there was nothing to do be go along with it, and try to pull up.

Struggling to regain control of her twitchy broom, Ami scanned the Quidditch pitch for another Bludger to hit- and hopefully, to redeem herself with. She noted that a boy on her team (he was on her team, right?) had the Quaffle, and nodded approvingly to herself. 

Her cheeks turned a fiery red after hearing the audacious young Gryffindor's comments on her poor performance. The little...! Well, I kind of deserve it, don't I. But really, Aurelia, too? At least her Bludger went somewhere! With those thoughts, she was about half a second away from flying over to him and thwacking the living daylights out of him with her bat when she spotted a Bludger out of the corner of her eye. She flew towards it and swung her bat again, feeling the wood make contact with the heavy ball, aiming it at the other team's seeker. Winifrey, her name was? Come on... she prayed. Please, do something. Be useful!

Learning her lesson from last time's attempt, Ami surged up high on her broom, learning from Aurelia that she was less likely to get hit back if she did so.
Action: Hit Bludger at Winifrey Golding, and dodge because she's learned her lesson.

Aurelia gasped as the bludger had hit Ami, she was sent flying a few feet down but had breaker just in time when she was a distance from the ground. Ami had hit the same bludger at Winifrey right after she gained control of the broom. Aurelia sighed, relieved that no one was hurt at least for now.

She clicked her tongue agitatedly when her bludger was sent flying towards team 1’s seeker. She needed a different strategy, this wasn’t going to well as planned. The bludger has hit Eri hard in the stomach and air seemed to be knocked out from her lungs as it did. Worried, Aurelia directed her broom towards her.
Hey are you alright? Aurelia asked, her eyebrows furrowed but the girl was already on her way to find the golden snitch. Aurelia made her way to the nearby bludger that had hit the girl, she scanned aroung looking for a victim. She was looking for revenge. Her bat swung and the bludger was directed towards a boy with black hair.

Take that... whoever you are!” She called. Aurelia had saw him at the gryffindor house cup party, they conversed abit but the brunette had left before he had a chance to introduce himself.

The young girl zoomed towards the boy with the quaffle in his hand.
I’ve got your back,” she reassured. She needed him to get some points for the team.

ACTION: Protect BENJAMIN

Alan was not nervous about this. He was freaking out. Alone the thought of getting hit by a bludger made him cringe, before the match had even started. He still did not want to refuse the offer that he got to try this. He had received an owl by a girl from his house, her name was Aurelia and after she asked him, he just was unable to refuse. He wasn't a bad flyer it was just his anxiety when it came to bludgers send by the opposite teams beaters. After seeing Reid on the other team - a boy he had shared food with in the hospital wing - he smiled though. Competing against and with friends was way more fun than competing with a lot of people he only met in classes, when he met them at all that's it.
He even got Marco on his team, which made him nearly jump in excitement, he was a really nice boy and always kind, even though he had to listen closely sometimes to understand his every word, which Alan didn't mind.

When a first year announced the beginning of the match, he kicked of the ground and instantly tried to gain some height, while gripping the broom tightly with his left hand as his eyes were glued on the referee - a Ravenclaw boy he had seen around the Great Lake quite often. He never had talked to that boy though, but maybe that would change someday? He really wanted to get to know as much people as possible and make some friends. He was around midfield when the quaffle got into the game and directed his broom to a free space as he reached out his right arm with his gaze glued to the quaffle in his teammates hand - signaling him, that he would be ready to catch, if Benjamin intended to throw the quaffle.
From what he knows this guy was a Ravenclaw, which he never had shared a word with ever. There were so many people, that he never talked to yet, but he really hoped that maybe this friendly match would be a good opportunity to make some friends.
