Laasya was benched for the first round but it didn't matter as that meant she had time before going in the air. She along with Harumi, Artie and Cassandra were the second string players of the Golden Phoenix. She decided to observe the movements of both the teams, whether they scored with the quaffle, dodged a bludger, saved a goal or looked for the snitch. Neither seeker had managed to find the snitch but who knew what would happen. There was a whole game ahead of them. As the game continued, Laasya observed keenly while the others cheered for Harlan or snacked. She would have loved some herself but she was too nervous. “Nice job Harlan" Laasya called out even though no one could hear her over the noise of the game when Harlan had scored with the quaffle twice, thus earning them 60 points. The Thunderbolts did not get any points but they could do something later that would bring them in the lead. “Come on guys, you got this" Laasya whispered to herself as Ebony announced the goals. Elisa had shot a bludger at Damien but unfortunately Graci had intercepted it and sent it straight to Zephyr, hitting him in the side. “Yikes!" Laasya muttered to herself as the game continued. But thankfully, he was still well and flying. Prat had sent a bludger straight for Elisa, and it hit her as well. However, she too remained in the air. That was one intense first round,she now knew the style of the other team maybe she could play better now.

Harumi sat back as the match started. Seeing Harlan going after the quaffle, she, without much thought, shouted. "GO HARLAN!!" She couldn't help but look awkward afterwards, but her cheers seemed to reach him and he grabs the quaffle indeed.

----Harumi smiled as Harlan scored, they were all doing a good job, she couldn't help but feel proud to belong to that team. Her happiness, unfortunately, didn't last, just as Elisa was bludgering the other team's captain, Damien, Graci intercepted the bludger and it hit Zephyr badly, Harumi winced at that. And next it was Max about to Bludger Prat, but he did completely the opposite accidentally going after Harlan, Harumi closed her eyes not wanting to see another teammate of hers get hurt, but when she opened them, he was fine, she let out a sigh of relief. Harumi thought that was all, but apparently not, because next Elisa got hit by a bludger from Prat and Harumi didn't have time to close her eye, hopefully she and Zephyr are alright.

----Trying to be optimistic, Harumi thought that least for now they seem to be scoring, and the other team still has no points, hopefully no one else will get hurt. The other team wasn't able to take anyone out yet, so they are still fine for now hopefully.

----After so much thinking, Harumi took a break from watching and looked at the other second-strings on her team, Cash seemed to be snacking and Artie was cheering Harlan, though his voice seemed to be low, Laasya on the other hand seemed to be very focused on the game, Harumi smiled to herself, she admired the girl's determination to observe everything very much.

----Soon, she looked back at the flying players, she didn't want to miss too much things by not looking for too long.

As soon as Ebony blowing the whistle, the game began with what Cash could call as a soft chaotic fray. The Bludger, Quaffle, and Snitch had been released up into the air, adding more soft chaos for the players that flying around in the pitch.

As Harlan uncontestly grabbing the Quaffle, he managed to score not just once but all 5 tries of the Quaffle grab, thus making the Golden Phoenix ahead of the Thunderbolt by 60 points. "YES! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, MONTGEMERY"The Sixth-year exclaimed to no one in particular but loud enough for the oher second-string players of the Golden Phoenix team to hear it.

But their joy didn' last long as bludger from both Graci and Prat hit both Elisa and Zephyr. "Pushed through the pain, guys!"Cash said to both @Elisa Shakestra and @Zephyr Deakin. It kind of annoyed the green eyes while Zeph was just there idly hovering in the air to do his job as it was being told by Cash, Graci decided to intercepted Elisa attack and sent it to Zephyr instead.

"What the hell that for, Lang?"The acting Captain for the day let out a protest. Cash clenched their jaw. If the Thunderbolt want to play dirty, play dirty they shall get then Their green eyes observed the pitch. Max only job this round was to put Prat into his doom but he failed that one job. Instead of targetting Pass, the bludger he whacked got directed at Montgemery.

"What are you doing, Vidler?! Focus!"The former Beater of Slytherin yelled at @Maximilianus Kenneally Vidler to get his head in the game. Cash's eyes watched both Lang and Prat. Trying to figured out what the other team Beaters' strategy is. And it seems Cash slowly unreveal it.

"Round two, guys! Get your head in the game!"The eldest player of them all shouted order. As Cash picked up their interrupted snacking, they let out a slow breath. Their green orbs peeled to all the players that whizzing around the pitch.

The first part of the match hadn't gone too badly. All of the players were still on their brooms, and the only people who had got injured were on the other team.
I sadly hadn't done anything that round, instead flying round, looking for any of my team's players who may have fallen off their brooms, meaning I was able to watch the match going on. It seemed like absolute chaos, but I knew it could have been even more dangerous. No-one had seen the snitch, sadly, and the other team's chaser had scored a lot of points. If only I was able to be that good at scoring.
I watched as a member of my team tried to hit an opponent with his elbow, and felt embarrassed for him - that was so obvious, everyone could see it. He was sent off on a penalty lap, meaning we were technically down a chaser until he finished.
"Come on Thunderbolts" I whispered under my breath, "Surely we can catch up. It's only a few points."
I gripped onto my broom handle, and continued flying round in a circle, watching everyone. Hopefully we could knock an opponent of their broom, or, if not, we could at least score a load of points.

As the game started, the players took off in the air one by one to assume their positions. Astal looked around trying to pinpoint the locations of her teammates. They were all a bit spread out.

She watched her teammates as the actions succeeded each other. Some were more technical than others which led to some of them falling but all of them were concentrated with no will to let the opposing team win. However as it was only the beginning of the match, Astal didn’t mind the little problems as they could always catch up and continued watching them as were probably doing her fellow second string players.

- Go Thunderbolts !

Suddenly she remembered that she could be a bit of help for her team if she discouraged the opponents, it could break their concentration and fail during some important actions, which was what Astal wished to do. Astal looked around and tried to find an appropriate target. Her eyes fell on the closest player from her, a first string chaser, she heard before the start of the game someone calling him Harlan. She started booing him as loud as she could to try to break his concentration.

- Boooo ! Just fall off your broom you dimwits !

After a few seconds of booing, Astal stopped as she saw no result in it, the Golden Phoenix player was still steady on his broom with no signs of weakening. She returned to observing her teammates feeling a bit disappointed.

Artie wanted to be there for his team, he really did. He was trying everything that he could, cheering his heart out for the boy from Gryffindor whom he admired, shouting at the top of his lungs in hopes that somebody could hear him, that he could do something to make himself useful. But nothing came from his desperate shouts but a harsh gust of wind that blew them away into oblivion. He frowned angrily, turning his head back to the match in time to watch as a bludger rammed into Elisa's body. A sharp cracking sound came from it, and he cringed away, his shoulders tensing uncomfortably.

A minute later, the same happened to Zephyr, his team was getting hurt, and there was nothing that he could do to help them, not from down here at least. He stands to yell something before the wind blows him back down, as if telling him to keep his mouth shut.

But he doesn't, he's not going to be kept quiet again, not anymore, and he's not going to let anyone from the other team bully his team, not if he can't help it at least. Maybe the wind will drown him out again, maybe nobody will be able to hear him, but as he tries to boo Prat, the boy who hat hit a bludger into Elisa, he feels anger welling up inside of him. A new sense of something that he hasn't really felt before.

He wanted to win. He really, really wanted to win. He didn't know what would stop him, or if anything could stop him. But if there was nothing he could do, then he wasn't trying hard enough.

What was that?

Denise was wrong...

She didn't have to do anything; instead, she watched the chaos unravel in front of her.

Everything was quick and fast, so Denise couldn't keep up with everything. She flew quickly, ready to defend and do her best; well, she was a bit of a people-pleaser herself.

Her eyesight was rather poor, so she wasn't able to view the bench players well after flying so fast, but she saw Laasya snacking and felt her stomach rumble. She should have eaten a bit more, and Denise was hoping that the game would end sooner rather than later.

She saw as a boy from the opposing team hit Harlan with his elbow, but it was quickly noticed by Ebony. The boy had to do a penalty lap as the game continued.

Denise had no idea what the other team was thinking, because they didn't even try to score. A handsome boy shimmied, and Denise had to watch as poor Julia fell for it. Harlan, a very experienced player, scored 60 points.

She played ice hockey before, and was hit and attacked before, but it was Denise's first time watching the beaters being absolutely vicious, and she was grateful not to be a victim. Elisa, one of the beaters, tried to hit one of the boys who shimmied Julia, but it was intercepted by one of the other beaters on the other team...

Crack!

She winced as poor Zephyr was smacked on the side, but was still in the air. Max, on the other hand, almost hit Harlan, but Harlan, experienced as always, dodged flawlessly. Denise felt a bit jealous, for her flying skills in general are rather mediocre.

Crack!

Denise quickly turned her neck, so fast that she almost sprained her neck. Prat Pass, one of the boys that Max tried to hit, was vicious and sent a bludger towards Elisa, smacking her.

Denise felt pessimistic, but on the bright side, they got 60 points.

Focus, Denise! she thought to herself.

She needs to lock in...
