As soon as the referees whistle blew the two teams would jump into action. However, Maggie of Team Slytherin would forego her Chasing duties and try to take a swipe at Ravenclaw's Lavinia. Elbows flew but none would land as Lavinia narrowly avoided the assault. "I saw that! Penalty Lap Maggie!" The referee's booming voice called out across the skies.



Winnie of Team Ravenclaw had quite the false start, but her teammate Cecily flew through the air with style and grace. Seven years of experience saw the Captain sink 4 shots against the Flying Cobra's Keeper, Koko Riddle. Ravenclaw would gain the advantage in points, but would it be enough the keep Team Slytherin down?



Dan, the tenured Seeker and Captain of Team Syltherin, would not phased by Ravenclaw's success in the scoring department. With a trained eye the young man would spot the Golden Snitch as soon as it was released into the air. Ayla would try her hardest, but the that sneaky snitch would avoid her gaze.



Not but a moment later would the Beater's bats would start swinging through the air with violent intentions. Erin of Team Slytherin would strike first and with terrible consequences. Both Jorah and Winnie of Team Ravenclaw would fall from her mighty blow. She would also deny them any revenge as she expertly avoided the counterattack.



Lavinia would watch as two of her teammates fell and she quickly sought to avenge them. However, as she targeted Erin there would just be an aura about her that proved too distracting. Lavinia would miss her by a mile and soon found herself about to crash into her own Keeper, Charlie. However, at the last moment a chill of fear would creep its way up her spine brining her to a halt. Though she would fail in her attempt, she would at least avoid the eyes of the referee.

Outcome

- Maggie attempts to cob Lavinia, but fails. Must take penalty lap.
- Cecily scores 40 points for team Ravenclaw
- Dan spots the Snitch. Must complete chase phase.
- Ayla fails to spot the Snitch.
- Erin successfully Bludgers Jorah and it successfully ricochets and hits Winnie. Both are KOB.
- Jorah attempts a Backbeat at Erin, but Erin auto-evades.
- Ebony did not post. No Action.
- Lavinia attempts to Blatch Koko, but Koko's Alluring redirect Lavinia's attack at Charlie. Lavinia fails due to Terrible Presence, but broom ability grants one free foul. No penalty lap required.

He hovered in the air, following the game closely with his eyes, watching for any teammates in danger of falling. Sure, he would've loved to be in the action: scoring, slamming into other players, stealing the quaffle, whatever, but he knew how important his task was this round, and so the small boy concentrated harder than he ever did in the classroom.

Percival looked up towards the sky with a frown. Everything felt like it was falling about him. Nothing seemed to matter anymore. This team, the players. Everything seemed minimal when compared to how his summer went. Everything seemed so stupid. The boy gripped onto the handle of the broom choking out an invisible neck as he continued to watch his teammates play.

MOD NOTE: I forgot to roll Koko's part-Veela Alluring ability in the Quaffle scoring attempts against her. The rolls were completed and edited into the mod. The ability did not proc and no changes to the score were made.

The match started and both teams took off, trying to get a head start. Beatrice settled into her seat, getting comfortable and focusing her eyes on the players. Gladly it wasn't raining, but the air was still getting colder. However, that would not take away any fun or a nerve-wracking game.

And the game was starting. Charlie gripped her broom nervously, waiting for the quaffle to near her. When it did, she blocked it! A smile erupted on her face as she realized what she had done. Charlie watched in the distance as the quaffle was thrown through the hoop. One. Two. Three. Four. Four times. Forty points. The first round went well. it just needed to keep going well so Charlie could get her first Quidditch win.

In a blur, the game would start.

Koko had thought herself prepared for the Quaffle onslaught, and although Cecily made the first attempt past her, she managed to block one score attempt, and taking the opportunity, she shot towards the Ravens' goalposts. She grit her teeth when the other Keeper blocked, and after she failed thrice more, her teeth seemed glued together. The game went on around her, but for just a moment, all she could do was stare at her useless hands and think, Merlin, I've got to stop being such a fucking failure. That was why she had trained ─ to avoid failure. And she had failed at that simple task.

But rumination was simply useless. The past was the past, and improvement only came from incremental efforts. Besides, everyone else seemed to be doing well, aside from Maggie, and Lavinia's amazing evasion was hardly Maggie's fault. Erin had knocked two of the Ravenclaws out of the sky, and all of the Cloud Cobras were still in the air. That had to count for something. Something, anything, to make Koko smile.

Smile she did ─ a cold grin split her lips in two, likely appearing more like a grimace than anything. Her eyebrows drew downwards in focus as she waited for more chaos to ensue.

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]

The game had started terribly for Mell. She had tried to grab the quaffle and had failed on every try. She was overpowered by the older chaser of the other team. She gritted her teeth. This was going bad. She was pretty sure that if this continued, she would be kicked out of the team soon enough. Maybe she was being too hard on herself. The other chaser was older, which also meant that she had more experience, so obviously she would get it. Mellani braced herself for the next round. She would try to do better this time.

As soon as the whistle blown and resounded filling up the Quidditch Pitch, both teams sprung into action. From where Cash situated themselves, they watched their teammate in an array of actions. They watched Hawkins try to shove Cloven out of her broom. But the third-year Chaser failed to do so.

In a moment like this, they missed their former Hogwarts Headliner Editor-In-Cheif Alexx Séverin. Alexx was the Slytherin Quidditch team blatch queen for some reason. But alas, there was no used dwelling in the past. Their eyes then bounced to Erin Ryan. The blonde beauty yet deathly had no problem in the bludgering department.

With her goddess-like strength, she managed to knock both the Ravenclaw's beater and chaser in one go. Talk about killing two birds with one stone or in this case with the metal ball of the death. Meanwhile, yours truly is still up in the air doing nothing.

Well, not nothing. It was just Cash who had been instructed to defend their Captain just in case the other Ravenclaw Beater tried to swipe Palmer out of the sky and send the menace cannonball toward the Slytherin seeker. But so far as Cash's eyes could tell, no astray bludger got anywhere near Palmer.

And for Palmer himself, the green eyes were confident that the barefooted boy would see the golden snitch sooner rather than later. In the history against Ravenclaw, it had been proven the Cloud Cobras could beat them in the quickest game of Quidditch the former Prefect had ever played. Slytherin had done it before, they could do it again.

Cash was sure of it. And hopefully, they did not jinx the whole team with their silent belief.

Mentions: @Jorah Moussa @Winnie Harper

𝓚nowing that it was her fellow beaters that she'd most need to learn from, Bex kept her eyes trained on them for most of the first round. As such, her undivided attention had been on Jorah when he suddenly went down, with Winnie following soon after him. She cringed in horror as they were taken off the pitch, both from the quick and brutal take-downs they'd faced, but also as, with Bex being their backup beater, she was going to have to take Jorah's place in the match.

Bex was nowhere near ready. She'd figured she'd be on the bench for ages, not called up in the first match, and certainly not this early in the game either. She had applied for keeper! Why did she agree to take the beater spot? She began a mantra in her head: I will not throw up, I will not throw up, I will not throw up.

Reluctantly leaving her blanket behind on the bench (and her dreams of a warm, pleasant afternoon with it) Bex mounted her suddenly very unstable feeling school broom and flew up to join her teammates.
