Wyatt was currently the furthest in the race of anyone on his team, and he certainly felt the pressure of that. The girl ahead of him certainly had a better chance of getting to the finish first, but that didn’t mean Wyatt would just stop. That would be kind of ridiculous.

----Vale was pretty sure she had a lot of leaves go into her mouth as she hurrled through a bundle of trees that she just kept running into. She spit them out, shook her head, and continued racing. From what she could she from where she was, she was pretty sure the race was at its end. She should be disappointed that the race seemed not in the favor of Slytherin once more, but she couldn't get over the excitement she felt over just broom racing itself. Too bad she had to go home after the race. No matter. Her mother plans to take her to see her aunts once again for the rest of the summer. She'll just be satisfied with just that.

Having finally freed herself from the vines that had trapped her for much of the race, Harper shot off like a rocket to catch the rest of the pack. The obstacles before her, vines and trees, would prove most damaging, but they were no more harmful to her than they had been to her compatriots. Alas, even as she sped forth, she could not close the gap, as those ahead of her seemed to have a similar idea.MODERATION ROUND 6
Unit 14
Hard Thorns
Harper: 7+9-4=12 (Fail)
Harper takes 5%*700=35 damage and is bleeding

Vale: 472/700 (-14 per round)
Scarlet: 405/700 (-70 per round)
Wyatt: 290/600
Percival: -114/700
Slightly ahead of Harper, the terrifying Scarlet Salvatore would find herself tangling with the much easier vines. They proved little difficulty, and she would find herself sitting in comfortable form, even as Harper raced to catch her.Unit 15

The bulk of the racers moved ever onward as one big unit, the relatively light buffeting of the winds proving no issue for Colin McCoire, Ari Gwild and Clair Fernandez. Yet, it was the comparatively cheaper broom utilised by Vale Ashwood that allowed her to pull out ever so-slightly from those she’d been racing alongside. Falling in behind Wyatt Starkey.Unit 16
Easy Vines
Harper: 8+9-4=13, Scarlet’s TP=10 (Success)
Scarlet: 14+7-4=17 (Success)
Wyatt would prove to be the frontrunner for the Slytherin contingent, but alas, hopes would find themselves dashed as harsh winds thrust him from his broom and down to Earth. Even as he fell downward, he’d be able to see the slowly moving form of Bloom Silverton crossing the finish line, the sixth year evidently finding time to bask in the victory.Unit 22
Easy Winds
Colin: 10+7=17 (Success)
Vale: 7+5=12 (Success)
Wyatt: 3+5=8 (Success)
Ari: 3+7=10 (Success)
Clair: 9+11=20 (Success)
Way back by the Whomping Willow, Hunter Argentum would see to cleaning himself up. Unfortunately, his wand would once again refuse to do as it was bidded, and the spell would fizzle and die, leaving the acid to continue to burn at his flesh.Unit 24

It was, some might think, a cruel irony that the last gasp of the race course was little more than that --- a puff of gentle breeze! The end of the course was in sight and after all the buffeting branches and vindictive vines and madly hurled rocks, all was clear ahead! Yet Colin knew, even as he flew between the two eagles, that Slytherin would not win this one.
Vale had broken away from the pack and was just ahead of him and the two Ravenclaws. Wyatt had pulled ahead and was the only Slytherin racer who had any hope of catching the sixth year Ravenclaw. Though there was little hope that even he could catch up, let alone surpass, the course was not done with the Slytherin team yet! For in that last puff of a gentle breeze, a sudden and powerful gust of wind blew up from one side and sent the boy sprawling to earth! Colin watched in fascinated horror as Wyatt fell, his broom tumbling after him.
Before too many moments, though, the sixth year Ravenclaw had crossed the finish line and the roars and cheering of the crowd became audible again. Soon Vale crossed the line and then himself along with the two Ravenclaws. They would certainly go over to cheer and congratulate their victorious leader!
At last Colin touched down and a sudden --- joy --- rose in his heart. "Owooooooooooo!!" he howled, raising his broom in the air! It was odd, he thought; his team just lost the race, and it was his first race, too! But deep in heart he was not upset by the loss. Colin had grown during the last hour or so. The Colin from before the race had been a cocky first year. He'd trash talked the other teams, and Ravenclaw in particular. That Colin almost certainly would have pouted and would certainly have claimed that Ravenclaw cheated, stole the race somehow.
The Colin that endured the terrors of the course, the Colin whose flesh was cut and lacerated by huge thorns and was still bleeding, whose skin still felt the burn of the bundimun acid, who had been barraged by rampant tree branches whose throbbing head had been assaulted by rocks and buffeting winds at the end of the race; that Colin had come through a changed boy. His eyes and his heart had seen Clair Fernandez --- and he had fallen for her! His heart felt warm and pride grew within --- pride for Clair! She too had undergone all the trials of the race as he himself had. She had fought for her team and helped overcome his for the victory.
The Colin that now stood between the celebrating Ravenclaws and the defeated Slytherins knew that many of his housemates would surely be disappointed and some might even be angry that they lost. But he knew that the Basilisks had fought hard and he was proud of what they'd done. Colin smiled. He had become captivated by a certain Ravenclaw racer, and he could feel as his heart realigned itself! In that moment he understood what he had felt earlier --- the real race wasn't about Slytherin or Ravenclaw, and it wasn't even about teams. It was about each racer taking on the course themselves and the true victory was in facing the dangers and ultimately overcoming yourself.
"Woooooooooooooooo!! Ravenclaw!" He couldn't help but cheer for Clair's team!
Colin turned towards the course again and saw the remaining racers touch down at last. He found Vale and Scarlet and gave them tight hugs. "Was a good race mates! Two lads down and out was rotten luck!" With a toothy grin on his face, Colin stole a glance at Clair. "I don't know about you two, but I feel on top of the world! And I can't wait for next time!"
