Ready, set, fly! PV - group

Cassie signed up for the unofficial broom race held by Mirada Johnson, a Ravenclaw girl, on the last minute. She was thrilled yet anxious when she was elected captain by her teammates. She is not on the house team, nor did she have previous broom racing experience. Yet she values this as a precious experience and decides to give it a try.

In her school robe, she enters the outdoor club area with her broom, a Moontrimmer gifted by her parents as her birthday gift two years ago. She hasn't used it for many times, but she regularly polishes it to keep it in the best state.

She greets her teammates and those on the other team who have arrived earlier than her. Among the twelve broom racers, most didn't have prior broom racing experience. So they are more like friends with the same interest rather than rivals in a race.

Her heart is pounding fast, because of anxiety and excitement. 'Thank you.' Cassie says to Mirada as she takes a cup of lemonade. The cold drink cools her and makes her feel calmer. She goes through her strategies she has discussed with her teammates. She waits for the rest to join them, ready to mount her broom.

"Aaah, Sundays!", George said to himself as he walked out of the Common Room with his broom, ignoring the curious eyes of a few individuals who were staring at him, thinking, Where on earth is this boy going with a broom? Not anywhere dangerous, right?.

No, George was going for his first ever broom race with his new Comet 180. He locked the compass onto his broom with a faint click and exposed himself to the bright sunshine outside the Entrance Hall.

He practically ran to the Courtyard. An idea hit him suddenly. He sneaked behind a tree and got on his broom. He then flew like crazy towards the Outdoor Club Area. He landed with a flourish, almost knocking over the cups of lemonade in front of Mirada Johnson, a Ravenclaw second year whom he had seen quite a few times in passing, but never really talked to.

He landed lightly onto the soft grass and got off his broom. He picked up his broom compass that had fallen off and clicked it back on. He then walked up to Mirada and accepted his cup of lemonade. "Hi Mirada! You're Mirada right? It's hot, isn't it?". Then he looked another way and said, "Cassie! We meet again!" . Cassie was one of his third year friends and the captain of his team The Whirlwinders. "Bad conditions for a broom race, I'd say."

The whistle blew, and he set off in far too high a speed with glee. This was what he lived for after all! Wind blowing in his hair, adrenalin pumping through him. If he didn’t enjoy food so much, he was pretty sure he could survive on this alone.

The first patch went easy enough. It seemed most of them were flying at the same speed. So he took a moment to look to both sides, checking up on his teammates. Perhaps that was what caused him to spot the tree too late. They collided with a force that made him wince. That would for sure be a nasty couple of bruises when he woke in the morning. He pushed it out of his mind and continued on.

He was a bit unfocused now, and he knew it. A collision with a tree would probably do that to anyone. When approaching the vines, he wasn’t as quick as he would have liked. He let a few curse words loose as he got tangled up. He didn’t mind that so much really. What was a shame was that it halted his progress. Thankfully he was far from alone in getting trapped.

Speed: Top Speed is 5.
Effect: When Racing with this broom, you can declare an intended move called Slow Down that reduces your maximum speed by 1 to give you a re-roll (at advantage) against an obstacle you hit. Yes, this is an action declared at the start of your round prior to any rolls where IF you are hit by a something or run into something that you get a second roll. If that roll is successful or not, your speed is still reduced by 1.

Harumi flew as fast as she can as soon as the race started. Everything seemed to be going well, but for a tiny while, because the very next thing she did was crushing into a tree, and then another one before she could even regain herself. She looked a bit light headed now, she probably should have paid more attention to her surroundings, maybe then she would have actually seen the trees and evaded them. Well, too late for regrets, she must go forward if they intend to win.

----The next obstacle was Vines, Harumi was able to pass but she saw Max get stuck. "You can do it, Max!" She said as she stormed off, not sure if he heared her or not. She also saw her friend, @Zephyr Deakin, get stuck, but he's on the opposite team, and Harumi saw him trying to blatch Cassie, so he deserved it, Harumi couldn't feel less guilty about leaving him behind. Unlike him, she felt a tiny bit guilty seeing @Denise Yarbrough was also stuck, but she continued forward nonetheless.

----As Harumi continued forward, she saw some chicken wandering around, was it also an obstacle? Or did it escape the kitchen? Harumi couldn't tell, but the chicken seemed harmless enough, so she left it be.

NOTE: Error in banner, Denise is a human with the ability Healing Sage, not a Metamorphmagus!

Off everyone went. The race started, and Denise flew as fast as she could with her flimsy Comet 180.

She watched in anticipation when Zephyr Deakin tried to blatch Cassie Jiang. Denise felt bad but then again, both were friends and all will be over soon. It's simply a competition.

Cassie Jiang though was a third-year and dodged it easily due to better skills. Oh great. It would have been better if the opposing team's captain was down. Soon, the first ostacle was present, a forest which wasn't bad.

Denise flew in ease but Max Vilder crashed into a tree, well as much as he is sweet, he is also rather rash. Harumi Everdane and Chaewon Lee crashed into two trees and Denise felt bad for leaving her teammate behind as she flew further.

Vines.

Oh great. She knew her Comet 180 wasn't that powerful for long and soon she was trapped. Well, Max Vilder, Chaewon Lee, Zephyr Deakin and Elowin Prankhurst got caught as well.

Well, oof. Denise flew left and right, tugging the vines but she was still stuck. Well, getting herself out as well as her teammates Chaewon, Zephyr, and Elowin was her prority.

She yelled at @Zephyr Deakin, "What are we going to do?"

She hoped that Zephyr would give some guidance for he is more familiar with broomracing than herself and her misfortunate teammates.

Skylar immediately shoots out fast once the race started. The world flies past her as she loads down low on her broom, pushing forwards through the wind. She had never broom-raced before, but she is still determined to give it her all. Squinting against the wind, Skylar comes up on the first obstacle of the course — a forest. She manages to weave through the trees easily, clearing the level. Unfortunately, she hears several others crash into the trees behind her. Skylar could only wince as she hears the commotion, mentally sending her regards to those who crashed. The next obstacle were the vines. Skylar manages to clear the level as well, surprising even herself. It appears all those practice sessions on her own actually did something. Or maybe it was just luck. Either way, Skylar is thanking her lucky stars for not hitting anything. However, her mental celebration was short-lived as several of her team members went down from the vines. "Come on, you guys got this!" She calls out for motivation, but can do nothing but push ahead. The next obstacle was quite peculiar, if Skylar does say for herself. The fire-breathing chickens become blurs as Skylar blows past them, keeping her eyes in front. She manages to clear the level as well, but she decides to take it up further. Going full speed and as fast as her broom would allow, Skylar finds herself neck and neck with the captain of the Airstrides, @Avery Gray. Wasn't she literally on the Gryffindor Quidditch team? Skylar does not know how to feel knowing that she is right next to a second year Quidditch player. How the bloody hell did she manage that? Skylar decides not to question her luck and continues to keep pace with Avery, wondering how she herself did not fall yet. Maybe Skylar has a knack for broom racing after all.

made by Avery Gray

Zephyr realised what a huge mistake he took at the exact moment he got stuck in the vines. Initially, he was trying to keep pace while attempting a blatch but he epically failed in then his world became a tangled mess of twisting branches and green vines wrapping around both him and the broom. “Seriously? OH, COME ON….” Thankfully, he managed not to fall completely off the broom. It happened so fast that adrenaline slammed straight into his chest. This is bad, this is really bad.

Looking around, that’s when he realized he was not alone in that predicament, some other racers were struggling too. There’s Max, Denise, Chaewon, and Elowin. “Is everyone okay?” That question extended to Max who was a buddy of his. As much as it was weirdly comforting to know he was not suffering alone, his worry multiplied realizing half of their team members were stuck with him! Which means only Avery was flying out there since he didn’t see Nick anywhere. Not to make things worse, he avoided moving too much. His first thought was to force his way through with strength, but not when he’s panicking too. “Okay, okay, don’t panic…” Hard advice to follow while suspended inside this messy vines. He swallowed hard and forced himself to stop moving for one second. He can’t believe he lost a fight against shrubbery, the humiliation alone nearly killed him.

Hearing Denise’ voice, he turned around to try to spot where she was and felt bad for the girl. “Wait.. let me think.” And fast! Come on, you can do this. He racked his brain to recall what they did in the past when he first play this sport. He forced himself to think properly instead of spiralling. Flying taught him that panicking usually made things worse. If he could angle the broom downward…

round 1
•—————————————•

Avery soared through the air the moment the signal rang out. Her Silver Arrow quivered with anticipation beneath her as she flew expertly through the trees as her fellow teammates and competitors smacked into trees. She paid them little mind, though. She had to push ahead. She had to get to the finish line. For her team.

As she went along, the only thing that surprised her was the chicken. It was huge with evil looking eyes just asking for her to cast a spell and see what happened. Avery was smarter than that. She was not about to lose her head for provoking an evil chicken that did who knew what with the fire it breathed.

Shaking her head, Avery pushed on until she finally made it to her first checkpoint. The race so far was going almost according to plan, then again, she hadn't expected her teammates to get caught up in trees and vines. That was a problem she hoped they would be able to solve quickly and get back on track.

There was only one other girl from the other team against her. Avery recognized her as one of her fellow Gryffindors, but the girl was younger. Avery couldn't quite place her name, but then again she didn't have time to dwell on simple things. She could get to know the girl later when they weren't competing against each other.
