This was going to be exciting. They were playing an unofficial Quidditch match, but with a twist. Landon was nervous but excited about the whole concept. Landon loved Quidditch, and, any time he could practice his skills in preparation for becoming First String next year in Hufflepuff, was a good time for him. Landon walked out to the Quidditch Stadium, his trusty Silver Arrow in his hand, and he smiled as he looked at the people already gathered there.

Landon didn't know many of the people on the pitch, but he was still looking forward to meeting new people and working together with his team. He was curious as to how this match would turn out. He would give it his all, like he did for every Quidditch practice. He had yet to play in an official game, but once this term was over, he'd be the First String player.

Landon smiled as he mounted his broom and kicked off on the ground. He flew toward Damien and grinned. "Seems we just can't get away from these unofficial games," he said. They had been in another match before, so it wasn't unfamiliar territory. "Just wait, next year I'll be playing in every official game and I'll get to play against you then too," he observed. Landon flew in a circle around Damien with a smile. He was so excited for this game.

Blaize found himself in yet another unofficial game, one that was likely more dangerous than Wizard Chess. Quidditch, a sport he had heard many a things about. The castle was eerily quiet on days that official matches were held as it was the most competitive sport they had. Dueling was.. well they didn't have any grandstands so that cut down the audiences quite a bit. Part of him was intrigued about joining the Quidditch team, especially about the tough first match he had as a Broom Racer. Well, either way he would stick with the sport he had chosen for now and experience other sports through questionable means like this match he found himself in. The Great Hall was, well, great for showing off flyers, and this one had caught his eyes, as well as a few familiar and unfamiliar names, @Landon Matthews, an older Hufflepuff student being one of them. If he recalled correctly, the boy even played Quidditch himself so he would keep a close eye on the boy. Lucky for him, Blaize was chosen to start as a second-string and merely watch for now and get more well acquainted with his broom. A shaky exhale escaped him as they made their way out onto a pitch, which felt way more formal than he was ready for. And people did this for fun? His sister would probably get a kick out of it, all eyes on her and feeling the wind through her hair, being the wild child, she was.

♕-april 18, 2026 | quidditch pitch, hogwarts -♕

For one formerly boisterous Haitian lion, much of his tenure at Hogwarts remained an agonizing, achinglh long lull.

Loathsome was it that his former-Herbology Professor mother hadn’t taken initiative to yank him from this dreary school to another—and yet, had the eldest of the Toussaint brood not been expelled from Castelobruxo, perhaps things would be different.

Hogwarts always lacked that sense of warmth his mother described so long ago. Perhaps it existed in a time before a certain Professor crucio’d him, or perhaps before the infamous Hogsmeade explosion, but who was he to know. These days, Alphonse’s presence beyond the classroom was a rare sight—though anyone who had the misfortune of knowing the Gryffindor recognized his steadfast devotion to Quidditch. It spoke for himself before any words ever escaped his mouth.

The theory could be attested as Alphonse donned his Quidditch uniform with pride, or sporting Carribean teams’ memorabilia, the ironclad grip on one of his brooms as if preparing to escape—again, or his frequent presence on the pitch.

Amid the week, that had been where his mind was at the thought of the upcoming Quidditch Spring tournaments.

Earlier that week, the familiar yet pesky Damien had planted the seed—pleading that Alphonse participate in an unofficial, using their brotherly bond as leverage.

Ever the classic form of manipulation, of course, and to no surprise coming from a Ravenclaw; albeit completely unnecessary, as Alphonse would’ve agreed regardless to get additional, much needed reps in.

It was just a shame that his bestfriend, Prat, wasn’t there.

Quidditch, new rules… say less. That was how easy it was to get Miharu's attention this time. Despite the stoic look on her face, the lack of drastic changes or any signs of joy or excitement, one could tell that she was interested upon hearing about it.

A waste of time.

That's what her parents would say but what they don't know would not hurt them and besides, Haru wanted to try it out, this thing that they call fun. Quidditch could get intense. As a long time player of the Mahoutokoro Quidditch Team, she would know that. Each and every player would sometimes forget what fun was, focusing more on the win, her included. A nice game where stakes are low would be a nice change for once until she was back on that pitch where victory was all that matters. Besides, this would be a good practice for her, to make up for her absences before and ignoring most of their training sessions.

Lucky for her, she wasn't the only one from Mahoutokoro who decided to join in on this game. There was Kanae Suzuki, a classmate of hers and Mio Kasasagi. Weren't they the same people she had shared a boat with before? Talk about coincidences. Them aside, the other people in their team were strangers to her… almost anyway. One of the boys present was a familiar one, someone that she had seen years ago on her first Summer Camp. Right, she had shared a cabin with him before if she remembered correctly. Well, enough about the whole reminiscing of the past. The game was starting and while she was here mostly to practice and loosen up a bit, that doesn't mean she wouldn't be giving it her all.

Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done. 2/ In the role of Chaser, if you have a contested quaffle grab and a contested strength roll between yourself and another user is in progress, unless they have the same broom, you would be the victor of the contested quaffle grab. In addition, rounds where you are successfully carrying the quaffle in an attempt to score, you only take half-damage from bludgers and blatching attempts.

Zach made a wild decision again to fly. Though he was better after some practice with his friend, @Landon Matthews, the flying he would do this time jumped up crazy. He didn't do any race like before or mild flying practice to avoid some obstacles. This time, he played Quidditch. Yes, the game where they have a crazy ball that could crush your bones.

He took out his dusty Silver Arrow from his trunk. Dusty, since the last time he used it was last year, when he raced with Ravenclaw Broom Racing team. He only used School Broom to practice with Landon since it was safer. "Uh... Sorry, Silver Arrow. You must be lonely in there. But don't worry, you will be happy again today. We are going to play Quidditch," he said to his broom.

Zach tended the broom to check if there was any problem with it. He polished it and trimmed the messy part. After it looked handsome and shiny, Zach brought the broom to the Quidditch Stadium. He also didn't forget to bring batches of potions that he thought would be beneficial if he brought them, such as Calming Draught.

In the Quidditch Stadium, some students from many schools were already prepared. Zach put his satchel on one of the benches and walked. He looked for Landon and saw that he was talking with a boy. Zach just waited and, at the same time, to calm himself before the game started.

Zach decided to approach Landon once he finished talking and he calmed himself down. "We're playing on the same team," he smiled at him softly. His lips were actually pale; the boy hid his anxiety. "Be careful. If you're hurt, I had brought some potions for first aid," he added. Though his words were more to calm himself, he also meant it. He didn't want any of them being hurt from the game, though it could be impossible.

Then he flew once the referee was about to start the game.
