Quaffle And (Dis)order: A Friendly Skirmish

Watching a Quidditch match always worked up an appetite. Thankfully, Aly had passed out Cauldron Cakes to the second-string players on the bench to keep our energy up. Callum took a bite of his cake, his eyes glued to the chaos unfolding on the pitch.

A lot was happening in this round. Players were getting knocked off their brooms left and right, and there seemed to be more fouls being called than he could keep track of, especially with all the blatching going on. Percival was relentless, sending Bludgers toward Mahoutokoro’s Beater every chance he got. One Bludger grazed the Beater’s arm but was maneuvered just enough to dodge the other.

The Hogwarts Seeker, Eve, wasn’t missing any opportunities either. She noticed the Mahoutokoro Beater falter and dove in, crashing into his side and knocking him completely off his broom. Amidst all the chaos, a Mahoutokoro Chaser managed to score 30 points, bringing the score to 40 to 10. Callum wasn’t too worried, though; he knew Hogwarts had plenty of tricks up their sleeves and with Mahou having three players out of the game, they had more players on the pitch.

As he swallowed the last bite of his Cauldron Cake, Callum shook his head in disbelief. Matches like this reminded him why he both loved and feared the game.

Percival let out a small sigh as he watched the game progress from his perch on the younger girl's broom. His gaze fell downward to look towards where his room was slowly drifting away towards the ground. At the very least it seemed his broom would remain intact this time. He honestly was not too sure if he would have been able to convince his Uncle to buy him a new broom. The last time his broom had shattered during a game. It had taken far too much persuasion on his part. His Uncle didn't want him to play, something that was not hard to discern from the man's grim face.

Percival let out a scoff as he squinted his eyes to look past the glare of the sun. A frown pulled across his face as he remembered the way the shards of his broom had fallen down around him as he plummeted to the ground. It seemed strange being down for the count now that he wasn't on his own broom. The boy pulled back cracking the bludger with his bat, sending it towards the boy who badly pummeled him. Percival felt a small smile pass his face as he watched it sail into the other boy. Though, his smile would disappear slightly as he watched his second hit with the stolen bat miss completely. Darn.

1. 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 (must be declared, if not declared the target will be random and can be an ally but not yourself).

2. 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.

3. 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.

The thrill of the game was sweet. Sweet like a ripe, juicy mango. The fruit had been something that Bea had discovered this past month at Dusana's, and instantly Bea had loved it. The sweet sugar rushing though her veins. Playing quidditch was quite like that rush. Potent, thrilling. People on brooms whipped arpujd her, tussling with the all important quaffle. Bea had her eyes trained on the to-and-fro, her eyes darting from one person to another as the ball changed hands. Her broom quivered, anticipating her mind and movements. It seemed just as ready to bat some quaffles into the air, as she was to kick them. Nothing solved a game like more violence. Especially in the role of keeper. Maybe that was why it suited her so much... As the ball came, not once, not twice but five times, she manuevered her broom to bock most of them. It was a back and forth pattern at the speed of light, missing one, blocking the next, missing again, and blocking the fourth. Something must have gotten into her head because all sense of safety removed itself from her brain. On the fifth try, she shot out early to block the quaffle, only to overturn and spin herself into a tizzy, kicking herself in the shin in the process. Was that sheep she saw? Shaking her head, she cursed herself ten times over as she watched the Japanese chaser narrowly score between her spins. If only she'd been able to kick him instead of herself. Slowly she returned to her spot in front of the goal posts and watched, grim faced. Next time she wouldn't be so confident and reckless. She'd proven herself. Now she just needed to do her job until the snitch was found. They'd win, she could feel it.

Chiaki was trying to remain as optimistic as she could, but it did unfortunately seem that Mahou was struggling against the Hogwarts team, at least slightly. She could only continue what she had been doing before as she hoped that their team would begin to make progress. At least Miharu, whilst not in her normal role as seeker, was still proving that she was capable.

In response to her question, Katsuro's bored tone stung a little to Chiaki, unsure whether it was aimed towards her or the game in general. She chose to take the optimistic perspective and consider it towards quidditch itself - she was also bias towards broom racing. "Do you not have friends on the team?" she asked. It may have not been wise to keep asking him questions when he seemed so clearly disinterested, but she was curious what had brought him out to the field if he seemed so unenthused to be there. "Surely they appreciate your support at least."

Turning her attention back to the game, it seemed even more had happened as Sara fell from the sky. Chiaki winced in sympathy as he landed, her gaze landing on Jamie, the only Mahou beater left. Hopefully it wouldn't be too late for their team.

They weren’t doing well, were they? More people were down on their side, specifically, their Beaters that were usually so tenacious during matches. She could still remember how Sara Kohana managed to stay conscious during the last summer games despite his own injuries and stamina at their limit. He held his bat high, taking down two of the Beaters of the opposing team with two powerful blows. Now though, he was down and she could only take a quick glimpse of his falling figure, unable to do anything else even though a part of her wanted to rush in, to help him but she has her own role in this game.

Despite the worries, she had to push those behind her and instead went for the Quaffle. Funny how most Chasers were doing other things than contesting with it but that is just how Quidditch works. Most of them will be searching for targets to knock off their broom, an easy victim of cheating moves while hoping not to get caught. She had seen enough Quidditch matches to know how things usually flow. With that said, this was an opportunity to get some scores in.

Playing as a Chaser wasn’t that much of a stranger to her despite mostly being in the role of a Seeker. Some would say it was in her blood for her mother used to be one when she was still part of a Quidditch Team and wasn’t running their family’s Broom Business along with her father. There was nothing complicated in the role as well aside from being fast enough to maneuver through the air to grab it and then safely making your way to the hoops. Shooting did prove to be much harder than she had expected for the one blocking her was a good player. Score, block, and so on. Luckily, the Keeper of the opposing team fumbled on the last block and hurt herself.

If their opponent is this strong, then they’ll need to do a lot better than what they are doing now and considering that they are at a disadvantage, player wise… they’ll need a miracle as well.

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.

She huffed as she heard her own name.

Kanae puffed her cheeks out as she went to the side of the stadium to do the penalty round. Her cheeks were still pink from both exertion and that little sting of embarrassment. All she knew was that she hadn’t even hit the guy.

Her gaze drifted across the pitch. And just in time to see something weird -- was that… Takahashi? Doing a celebration? She blinked rapidly, brows furrowing just a little. A whoop. A tiny fist pump. Huh?

“…Why is he happy?” she mumbled aloud, narrowing her eyes at the speck in the distance that was him. “We’re down both our seventh years along with Bakugo... What is he even--bro. We are losing.”

Maybe he just saw the snitch. That seemed more likely. She slumped a little. The small moment of distraction was shattered the second she caught sight of Kohana falling. Not like, “slipping-a-little” falling -- plummeting.

Kanae’s whole body flinched, like the hit had landed on her instead. That was bad. Like, hospital wing bad.

For just a second, her stomach twisted up into one big knot. They’d already lost Tone. Miharu was pulling weight like a whole team on her own. And now Kohana… gone. A choked breath came out as a sigh.

Next round. They just had to survive the next round somehow.
