Quaffle And (Dis)order: A Friendly Skirmish

Instead of listening to her pleas of doing the only decent thing and diving off the broom, the eejit instead returned to his own broom. How ridiculous was that? Oonagh wanted to be the one who could kick off into the sky, but no, instead she was stuck on the ground now, sitting on this stupid bench and having nothing better to do than warm it. Absolutely ridiculous, she was much better off in the sky!

She kicked at the grass in front of her, saddened that there was no rocks in sight and instead the greenery just mildly flattened beneath her heavy boots as she groaned in frustration. What if she just left? not like she was needed at this match after all. Maybe she should.. But what if Percival was knocked out of the game just when she left and then she would lose her opportunity to clearly and obviously outshine that fake?

She licked at her fingers to get rid off any leftover chocolate fudge that was smeared across her hands as she did not want it ending up in her hair, because that would be a mess to wash and comb out.

"You suck!" she yelled at the top of her lungs towards the opposing teams seeker, when they failed to make any respectable progress.

Percival sighed as he looked around the field with a faint air of boredom. Having to ride passenger with Avis, while not horrible, was starting to get a bit tedious. The boy's gaze glanced downward, wait was that? Percival blinked quickly as he tried to focus his eye on a brown blur in his peripheral. Reaching down with his free hand, he curled it around the base of the broom as he glanced around. Glancing far over his shoulder as he made eye contact with his broom.

The boy quietly thanked Lady Luck for being on his side. He had all but assumed his broom had plummeted to the ground, having had it happen before. But no. There it flew, rather lazily, through the air. It was almost surprising that it was even still in the air. That no one had knocked into it. Percival brought up his hand to tap on Avis's shoulder. "Hey, turn us around. I see my broom behind us, 5 o'clock." he whispered excitedly. As the girl turned her broom to maneuver them through the air. He couldn't help the leap that smacked into his heart. Climbing back onto his broom felt like he had come home. His hand gripped the handle tightly as he looked towards Avis. Winking in thanks as he dove downward.

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.

	In this round, Egon had to mount the broom because Ginyami ended up being knocked off the broom. His player uniform brushed with the wind, positioning himself in front of the goal posts, supporting the broom with one hand as he gave a quick game check. The game quickly came to life, with Egon having to hold the broom in both hands. His eyes were following the quaffle but once in a while, he kept an eye at the bludgers, knowing they had a tendency to hit players without a warning. He was able to block the quaffle’s attempts, deflecting it with his broom and sketching a proud smile. That felt quite good, he thought. In this attempt, Egon tried to block the quaffles coming towards him, but Hogwarts ended up scoring up to five times, his frustration being obvious. The broom did not seem to have responded quickly to his attempts to deflect the quaffle, and the arms did not seem to grab it either. His face reddened slightly, avoiding looking at others because he did not want to feel the disappointment of his teammates. What he did not expect was that the bludger, had seemed to come alive and hit Egon hard, his leg hurting him intensely, but he managed to prevent the pain from being written all over his face. He was not very in pain but enough to make a grimace. He stared at Percival frowning, uttering two utterances while adjusting with the broom. He could not allow pain to distract him. He was surprised to see how both teams seemed to commit several fouls, causing the player to shake his head with disappointment. He didn’t realize that from his mouth, blood began to come out until he noticed it on his lip. He was astonished when the referee’s voice scolded them, hinting that they could not seem to avoid committing fouls. And since his team seemed to have committed it as well, Egon chose not to say anything, but he heard someone say something rude, earning an eyebrow and a small eye roll.

This match hadn't been at all what Avis might have been expecting for her first Hogwarts start and she had mixed feelings about it. On a positive note, she was currently in the air, albeit barely under control of her own broom. On the less than positive side, she was still lugging around a zombified seventh year (who had mostly definitely bled on her at some point mid-bat swing) and although it hadn't been half bad, the Ravenclaw was fairly certain her arms had turned into permanent ramen noodles. Not to mention she hadn't touched a single Quaffle all game. Ah well, perhaps there was a transfiguration spell for "noodle-to-human-arm" somewhere.

Fortunately, her thoughts were interrupted when she felt a tap on her shoulder, paired with words that quite possibly had been the best she'd heard in all her 12 years of life (besides "Don't worry. You can't die from accidentally consuming an entire bag of Floo Powder.")

"Thank Merlin," Avis muttered as she turned her broom towards Percival's. Moments later, he was climbing back onto his Oakshaft and throwing a grateful wink towards the Ravenclaw as he dove away, most likely to cause some more chaos...without her. She gave him a small smile and a little salute in parting before frowning to herself, her broom bobbing upwards slightly without the added weight. Perhaps she had enjoyed being a sidekick...just a bit.

Akihiko soared through the air, eyes narrowed on the snitch. He felt as a teammate shoved his broom forward, propelling him at a faster speed toward the snitch. His vision was narrowed on the growing spot of gold, and he didn’t spare a moment to thank the teammate. After the game he would. That was, if he was still standing by the end. After the events of the game, he wasn’t certain that was a given. The Hogwarts team was ruthless, without any reservations as they knocked his teammates out. He was grateful that his team had at least been able to take a number from their team as well.

Their team’s seeker was chasing after the snitch as well, both of the seeker’s in a race of speed and accuracy to see who could grab the tiny flying sphere first. The fate of the game relied on the object, and he felt the pressure in his tight grip on his broom, in the pressure building as he gained speed. Coming close enough to almost touch the snitch, he reached for it, missing it narrowly as his fingers slipped through the air, the snitch evading his grasp.

He barely registered that his teammate had prevented the Hogwarts seeker from a fair reach, blocking her for a moment enough to stop her from getting ahold of the object either. His team still had a shot.

In the role of Seeker, if an opponent attempts to Bludger or Blatch you, there is a 20% chance that you veer out of the way the last second and another enemy player at RANDOM is targeted instead.

Note: The new target still gets their normal dodge attempt. This is not considered to be an auto-dodge, in fact this roll is done before any accuracy rolls are done.

Doing a penalty lap doesn't seem that bad aside from missing all of the action on the field. Then again, with only a couple of people on their side of the field, she was expecting not that much action or so she thought.

The quaffle had been forgotten it seems, no player went for it for reasons that she knows and the same reason why Kiyoshi Sato had been yelling for the whole duration of the match, cheating. Quidditch is such a dirty game with fouls being committed in every game without any remorse from the teams playing. In their case, it had saved them from the quick victory that their opponent was about to achieve with their Seeker going for a spiral dive, locked into the snitch with hands outstretched, ready to grab it. Chiaki Hiroi had put herself between the opponent Seeker and the Snitch. As expected from one of their upperclassmen, unafraid to do risky moves and truth be told, she looked cool doing so and even avoided being seen.

Her own team had made their own move for the snitch but sadly, their efforts weren't rewarded. Still, they tried, she'll give them that. Not to mention, Akihiko did manage to avoid a blatch coming for him despite how fast he was going thanks to Kanae flinging him forward. As a bonus, the Hogwarts student ended up knocking down his own teammates. Now then, it was time to get back on the field and to stop being a spectator. Even if it's just a practice match and despite how scary it was becoming, she had to keep playing. Perhaps they still have a chance.

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.

Action Is in pain

The game really started to heat up now. The whole Hogwarts bench erupted into a series of cheers and boos, either trying to motivate their team or get into the heads of the Mahou players. As Callum was booing the Mahou seeker, chaos unfolded on the pitch.

It just had to move at the last second, didn’t it? Eve made a perfect dive for the snitch—she would’ve caught it if it hadn’t moved, bringing her face-to-face with the Mahou player, who blocked her pursuit. That wasn’t the only thing that went wrong. Damien and Beatrice pulled off a decisive blurt against the Mahou seeker, knocking them off balance. Callum pumped his fist, but his excitement died when the referee blew the whistle, sending them on a penalty lap.
Apparently, Damien and Beatrice weren’t the only ones assigned a penalty lap. Aodhan’s blatch had been perfectly aimed at the Mahou seeker, but at the last possible moment, the seeker rolled aside. Aodhan crashed into Beatrice and Damien, sending all three tumbling off their brooms and plummeting toward the ground.

“Bloody chaos.” he hissed, running a hand down his face.

Luckily, no points were scored from Mahou during all of this chaos, which meant Hogwarts was still up against them. Small victories, he guessed.
