Quidditch Durmstrang vs Beauxbâtons-Tenūsa - Summer 2026

(im on mobile ; will edit this soon)

Jesus.

This was a far cry of the former Vipress’ expectations. What the Alptraum girl dubbed an easy win, seemingly turned out to be opposite of that very thing. Beaubaxtons and Tenusa came to play—and they were bringing the heat.

Remedy loathed every second of it, and a viscous, white- knuckled grip on her Silver Arrow would be the only signs of the tumultuous, spiraling energy within.

With a disappointed sigh, she saved Arno and waited.

Durmstang was always an intimidating team. But they were missing that one blond fellow—probably graduated or something. Quentin could hear the cheers of his teammates, even that of his new Tenūsa teammate, and that encouraged him to take a swing at the boy who seemed to be the Durm-in-charge. The bludger connected with his bat with a satisfying crack!, and the boy fell from his broom in an equally satisfying way—he seemed to imitate a ragdoll on his way down to the ground.

His fellow beater, Peter, was not so lucky. The poor boy was also out. Quentin waved in the new beater, "Let's go! Avenge Peter!"

Reducio

In the role of Beater, if you critically hit with a bludger, instead of doing double-damage you do 2.5x damage. If you critically fail with your bludger attempt to hit, rather than having your bludger randomly target another user (including yourself or an ally) the bludger cannot target you on a critical fail (but it can still target your allies). On a re-target, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.

In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice at disadvantage (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself). Ricochet damage is 75% of the original hit.

In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.

Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally. This does not trigger if the Beater themselves is on a penalty lap.

Being referred to as Felix was not standard, a curious smile spreading across her face before she realized the confusion. Felix did sound familiar, a glance past Shamsi to see who the target audience had been. One of the oldest of the group, Kit decided it would be good to keep an eye out- he was probably not someone they wanted in the air too long. With a grin at Shamsi's embarrassment, Kit would wander off to complete the rest of her pre-game activities.

She was used to being the one saving yet the team had opted for a different strategy- not that Kit minded, happy enough to let others do the thinking as long as she was allowed to fly around. It would just take a little getting used to, pulling her eyes away from her teammates to find the target. She would quickly take off in Remedy's direction, the lessons flashing through her head as she moved to kick Remedy off of her own broom. For a split second, Kit thought she saw someone plummeting before realizing that was another Durmstrang player and the whistle wasn't kind enough to offer a second chance. With a small sigh, she'd move to her penalty lap instead, a chance to watch how the team would be after she was gone.

Has an increased capacity. Can carry 3 people. May pick any three of the following skills. They must be declared at the start of the game.

In the role of Seeker when you have found the snitch, if someone attempts to use Alley Oop to help you find the snitch, you will not have disadvantage. However, with this broom you do not gain the +1 chance to grab the snitch for rounds that the Alley Oop is used. To clarify, each round someone attempts to grab a snitch they get a +1 to the attempt and this stacks. There is no bonus (or stack from this round's attempt to grab) to grabbing the snitch.

In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice at disadvantage (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself). Ricochet damage is 75% of the original hit.

In the role of Chaser, as a free action if the user of this broom is successful in the quafflegrab they can as a free action pass the Quaffle to another user in an attempt to score. There is a chance of the quaffle being intercepted, however due to the fact that the user is "so fast" with the quaffle this would be considered "surprising" and the attempt to score would be done at +3 accuracy by the player it was passed to in an attempt to score.

Note: The attempt to score would be an automatic attempt by the user that catches the passed quaffle.

Calming Presence active on all teammates
Paragon of Health active on Romélie de Brissac and Aryaan Shamsi

Carnage is the best word to describe how this match starts. As soon as people leap into action, the opponents manage to score fifty points and bodies begin dropping from the sky. Their benched teammate cheers for their Seeker, but all quiet Valeriy can do is watch with slight horror. Alexios is one of the fallen, leaving Durmstrang without a Keeper, and their captain is down too. Valeriy is barely able to keep track of everything that just happened, and they’re already being sent on. They bite their lower lip, nerves sinking in, and try semi-fruitlessly to clear their mind and push that off to the side. Ready or not, it’s time for them to play.

The pace of the match was legible in how quickly the bench had shed bodies, going from four last round to Jamie alone, still cheering Quentin on with the same enthusiasm as before.

QUAFFLE

Beaux-Tenusa had once again elected to treat the Snitch as a non-issue, which given the fog was a defensible position. Akerrah remained on Quaffle, with Cinder fighting for possession at every opportunity and immediately feeding everything back to Akerrah. Mamori couldn't quite let it go. "Blaze, why? There's no Durmstrang player anywhere near that Quaffle, you're fighting your own teammate for a ball you're about to hand her anyway."

None of which stopped Akerrah from delivering. "60 points! Without a Keeper to deal with, Koné's put up an even bigger score than last round!" Durmstrang needed to put someone on her now, because catching the Snitch was starting to look like it wouldn't be enough.

SNITCH

Astrid had covered the pitch end to end by this point, past the hoops, along the stands, through center field, close enough to the commentary box to briefly become Mamori's concern as well, and STILL with nothing to show for it. The Snitch had rewarded this by passing within range at least twice at moments when her head wasn't quite turned far enough to spot it.

"Still nothing for Olsen... and I do feel bad. Hogwarts' Snitch is just that bad." Mamori was, on this occasion, being sincere; even Hogwartians had no fondness for their own Snitch on a clear day — pull any Seeker from any of the four houses (especially Gryffindor) and the review would be the same, and it would not be positive — and what Astrid was flying through right now was definitely not a clear day.

BLUDGERS

And there was the dual-wielding beater everyone had been waiting for, or at least one specific pink-haired commentator had been; Quentin caught the bat Marina threw him and came up with both arms raised like a samurai going Nitōryū.

"I'd been wondering when this was going to show up given how aggressive both sides have been. And here it is! Gagné, who took out two people last round, is now dual-wielding! Let's see what the count looks like!"

Annnnnnd the count did not disappoint, Quentin's left bat sent a bludger straight into Remedy, taking Arno down with her since they were sharing a broom, and the ball ricocheted from there into Christopher just as he was in the middle of trying to dodge a rogue bludger. That was one swing converting into three bodies. Without missing a beat, his right bat sent another one into Astrid before the ricochet veered toward Valeriy, who got out of the way — fortunate, or unfortunate, depending entirely on whose side one was watching from. "Four people going down! Save duty is going to have some very difficult decisions to make this round, again!"

Reducio

Quentin is dual-wielding, bludgering Remedy/Arno and ricochet to Christopher; bludgering Astrid and ricochet to Valeriy
Durmstrang has no bludger action this round, so a rogue bludger is in play

KOB FOULS

Having tossed her bat to the upperclassman, Marina had apparently decided that legally assaulting people with iron balls lacked something so she pivoted to blatching Vilhelm, who had been sizing up Akerrah for a blatch of his own. Marina pulled it off and Durmstrang went from four falling to five, though none of it escaped Mamori who had the whistle going almost immediately. "Alacran, I saw every bit of that. Penalty lap."

SAVES & PENALTY LAP GANG

Save duty for Durmstrang was a thankless position this match, with a fresh pile of players coming off brooms every round and only ever one to bring back from it; Valeriy saved their Seeker and could do nothing for the rest.

As for the penalty lap people, they were all, in their own ways, a lot. Flirting back at Aryaan felt like a reliable way to get pulled aside after the final whistle and lose the refereeing/captaincy gig entirely, so Mamori fired back with "Bold of you to assume this counts as a date when I'm making you fly away from me" and left it there. Romélie on the other hand, was staging a silent protest via sustained eye contact and head shake, which Mamori answered by holding the look and shaking his head right along with her at the same pace, barely keeping it together, all while attempting to mouth "don't blame me you're the one who fouled" across the pitch with no guarantee whatsoever that it landed.

Outcome

• Jamie successfully cheer for Quentin
• Cinder wins Quaffle possession and passes to Akerrah on attempts 1-4; Akerrah wins directly on attempt 5. Akerrah scores 10 points per attempt (with a nat 20 on 4th attempt), totalling 60 points for Beaux-Tenūsa
• Astrid fails to spot the snitch
• Quentin bludgers Remedy/Arno for 1350 dmg. Remedy takes the hit as broom owner, KOB and cannot be saved. Arno falls with her and is also KOB
• Christopher evades the rogue bludger but is hit by Quentin's ricochet for 1013 dmg, he is KOB and cannot be saved
• Quentin bludgers Astrid for 1350 dmg, she is KOB but eligible to be saved
• Valeriy evades Quentin's ricochet bludger
• Marina successfully blatches Vilhelm and is caught, penalty lap next round
• Valeriy saves Astrid per priority order
• Aryaan, Katherine, and Romélie have completed their penalty laps and are free to cause problems again next round

Akerrah's Spanish was minimal at best for the moment. So, she just returned Rina's "Bonne chance!" rather than try to do so in her peer's native tongue quickly. Still, the romance languages held a certain understanding. And, well, anything was better than English.

But Rina's cheers would have come through clearly in any language, and she was grateful for them. It was perhaps the first time anyone had expressly rooted for her in anything magical—surely, that had to border friendship, no?—even if she wasn't doing her job. Speaking of which, where was that snitch? From a quick glance, it seemed like the opposing seeker still had no luck, which ironically was lucky for her. It gave her more time.

In the meantime, her hands easily found the quaffle thanks to Cinder, the redheaded girl who'd always shown a remarkable amount of enthusiasm. Though this personality had at times seemed overwhelming to an introvert like Akerrah, there was no denying in this game they had found a very successful rhythm. "Bravo, Cinder!" she gave her a little shout as she passed.

Besides, this passing created a certain ease and reliability that took her mind of things. Oh, how very many things had changed.

I kept getting the quaffle, and passing it to Akerrah, who kept scoring, despite being a seeker. But, I didn't mind. At least we were getting points, and I had helped.
She spoke to me, saying bravo. I replied, saying "Bravo aussi!"
Then, I watched as Quentin, an older Beauxbatons student player Beater, took down 4 people. I clapped watching as it rained Durmstrang people.

It was Rina's turn on the pitch, which meant all heck was about to break loose. But for a moment of surprising clarity, Rina realised that perhaps that did not mean she was going to use the bat. No, no. She tossed it to Quentin, hurling it across the field with a quick, —¡Atención!¹

Ohhhh yeah. Now it was showtime.

She didn't do anything at first. No, she had to watch what Quentin was doing. First, because it was totally amazing, like who could just go thwack, thwack with two bats and almost take out four people? Insane. She wanted to do that one day. But it also mattered because her target would be one of the few left standing.

Sometimes it was easier to just pull a dirty trick out from one's sleeve. No shame in it. Plus, knocking someone's brains out was so much meaner than just shoving them off a floating stick. Upon realising only the scrawny kid, the seeker and the guy with the nice jawline remained, Rina ticked off boxes in her head. Well, the scrawny kid and the seeker were kind of useless all there on the same broom, so she darted after the nice-looking dude. Sorry, not sorry.

The call for the penalty lap was actually a bit jarring. First time for everything, and it didn't look like Rina had beginner's luck in not being seen after all. She didn't fully understand what had been said, but her surname said it all. With an eye roll, Rina steered her broom into a penalty lap, all while thinking about what might happen if she just didn't.

When the new beater entered the pitch, she hurled her own beater bat at Quentin. There was a split second as he instinctively caught it that he thought this was strange—did she not want to play? But then he realized he was holding TWO bats and that he could probably get BOTH bludgers if he lined it up right. At this point, he wasn’t sure which Durmstrang people he was aiming at; he just really wanted to master this whole two-bats thing.

And there was a special moment when his bats both connected with the bludgers and the bludgers connected with a player or two or three. Quentin realized he was pretty good at this whole quidditch thing. He’d always seen himself as a wrestler who’d only been playing quidditch as a stand-in because he was forced to go to a magical school instead of a muggle school. But today, he connected directly with the sport itself and the magical side of himself. It felt amazing. There’d be a long bout of introspection about his future once the high of winning finally wore off.

There was also a smaller thought in the back of his mind: This broom he borrowed from Aryaan was amazing. He suspected that part of his luck and skill today were probably owed to this broom. He'd have to buy one of these.

On a re-target, there is a random roll for target and then a fresh accuracy roll.

In the role of Beater, if you hit an opponent with a bludger the bludger will then ricochet off that user and target a second opponent of choice at disadvantage (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).

In the role of Beater, if an ALLY dodges a bludger during the round, there is a 20% chance that you catch that bludger with your bat and you send it at a RANDOM enemy target.

Note: For the rules lawyers out there: you are not considered your own ally. This does not trigger if the Beater themselves is on a penalty lap.

Not wanting to miss out on any of the fun -- Durmstrang had a ruthless reputation, after all -- Aryaan raced to complete his lap around the field. He was fully ready to get right back into the thick of things, only to find carnage.

Odd. He was sure he didn't black out during his penalty round, but it felt like he'd snoozed and missed out on all the good bits.

"Daaaaamn," he blinked, taking in the carnage. "Should'a just spent the lap looking for the snitch."
