QUIDDITCH - GRYFFINDOR vs SLYTHERIN - SPRING 2023
Date: Saturday, June 3rd
Time: 14:00 [2:00 pm]
Weather: Sunny and clear

It was a beautiful afternoon for a Quidditch match— not snowing, or raining, or too foggy to even spot the Quaffle, never mind the Snitch. The weather smiled down on the Hogwarts pitch this afternoon, showing signs of naught but clear blue sky over the castle and beyond.

The afternoon sun would shine warmly upon the players as they took to the field: the mighty Gryffindors, lead by their fearless captains Pax Zhang and Ethan Smith. The Lions were coming off a rough loss to Hufflepuff last autumn and an even more brutal defeat at the hands of Ravenclaw soon thereafter, but it seemed their heads were held high in search of a victory to end their season with a bang.

Slytherin would take to the pitch headed by tenured captain Dan Palmer and new leader Koko Riddle. The Snakes had fared somewhat better this season, opening their year with a strong win against Ravenclaw yet falling to Hufflepuff over the winter, but they would not be placated with second place— now or ever.

The announcer's voice would ring out across the stadium, introducing the players as they warmed up for the match to come. It was gearing up to be a bloody one: both teams had something to prove, and they'd likely stop at nothing to secure the victory they craved. Would Gryffindor's stubborn pride and creative tactics stand up to Slytherin's mighty Beaters and experienced Seeker? Only time— and the scoreboard— would tell.

The Snitch fluttered and disappeared, the Bludgers took on a life of their own, and the Quaffle soared into the air. The announcer's tone took on a fervent pitch, and the game was on.

They/She
Pax took a deep breath as they faced the rest of their team. This season's games had not gone the way they would've liked, but that was alright. What mattered now was this game, and proving that Gryffindor was a strong contender, not to be messed with. Like they always had, and like they always would.

"Right, team," they addressed. "We've got this, ok? We work hard, we strive to be the best, and that will come into fruition today. We will do well."

As they spoke, they hoped these words would reassure any nerves, and motivate, not only the team but also themselves. Nonetheless, they were ready.

They looked at their co-captain with a smile. "Ethan, do you have anything to say?"

Once/If Ethan had spoken, Pax would nod. "We've got this," they repeated. "Go Gryffindor!"

With that, they grabbed their beater's bat, mounted their broom, and took to the sky.

Erin was not about to go another game with a loss. Not that she had high aspirations about playing in the summer games, she was still hopeful, just not optimistic. In the five years she had played quidditch, Slytherin had not once won the annual cup. It was frustrating because she felt that she could beat them and perhaps she was being held back, perhaps it was her ego getting ahead of her. She really did not know either way but she would need to get over herself and just play the game if she wanted to get anywhere at all.

This time they were facing off against Gryffindor. none of them were even her age, she was playing against a bunch of 'kids'. She had mixed emotions when she had this revelation. yes, they were younger. Yes, Slytherin had the advantage. But what if they lost all the same? What if they lost to a bunch of underclassmen? It was enough to set the part-Veela into a mood as she rounded the perimeter of the pitch as per the tradition whenever a game starts. The cheering of the crowd was energizing but was it enough?

She would let out a sigh and glance back at her own team. She was the oldest, but there were multiple students only a year or two behind her. This was either going to be a slaughter or an utter embarrassment she reasoned. "Let's get this over with," she announced out loud to whomever on her team might her her muttered words of 'encouragement.'

They needed a large number of quaffle scores if they wanted to take the summer game, more than she felt that they would be able to reasonably achieve in the span of a single game. It was likely a bust there, but they could still take thew game and beat Gryffindor into the ground one more time before the summer holiday.
Action: Whatever Dan submits.

Abilities Known:

Part-Veela (Alluring): If a Part-Veela is being attacked there will be an urge to assist or protect them. Each round there is a 10% chance that an opponent in a duel or a moderated situation will decide to ally with the Part-Veela even against their own allies and attempt to protect them.

Fearless: Fear effects such as a dhampir's aura, the ability terrible presence, a lycanothrope's intimidation or certain charms, potions and jinxes that would normally cause a fear effect do not work on you as you are immune to them.

Evasive Maneuvers: Harder to hit on average, 10% on auto-dodge chance that anything that targets this wizard automatically misses. This is rolled separate from the attack roll.
Broom:
Firebolt
  • +4 to a single stat of choice (picked accuracy)
  • 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).
  • 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.

Just a trick of the lighting they said...

The girl was excited, this was her second game. Her first one didn't do that well, but she was sure they'd do well this time.

Pax, their captain, gave an inspiring speech, so Hannah was kind of sure they'd do well. At least try to. Last match, she had fallen of her broom, this time she hoped that wouldn't happen.

Hannah then mounted her broom, she was now flying.

The weather was clear so she hoped Elena could find the snitch quickly. Hannah also hoped her team would score many points, and possibly win.

Banner stats not updated.

It was different, not starting from the bench. Avery took to the skies and beamed at the crowd below. Ha! Look at Rainwood down there on the bench! He almost wanted to stick his tongue out at that goon, just to taunt him. Before he knew it, his tongue was out and he was making the most ridiculous face at his dormmate. Then, he turned his attention to a couple of the more likeable people on the team, his fellow chasers. "C'mon, Mags! Let's get 'em, Lucky! We got this!"

xxRallying the troops for their last game hadn't worked. Like, at all. Maggie remembered the horrific loss all too well, the way that she had completely failed, fallen, blown the chance at a win. Obviously, it hadn't been entirely her fault. After all, it took two (or seven) to ruin a Quidditch match and lose so catastrophically that it could (would, and should) be considered a ridiculous and embarrassing failure.

Oh, well. So much for letting bygones be bygones.

Maggie took the field, surveying the competition with a watchful eye. It wasn't their first rodeo with Gryffindor and surely wouldn't be their last, but Maggie remembered in screaming color when they'd lost to them last--Pax Zhang had shown their smug face and the rest, as they say, was history.

Action: Taking her Place on the bench
As Beatrice walked in with the Slytherin Quidditch Team, she could barely believe that she was part of it now. Her heart hammered in her chest, hardly able to contain her nervousness and excitement. Watching from the stands was one thing but being a part of the team and hearing the cheering crowds was a completely different experience. It was a beautiful day, perfect conditions for a good game. Beatrice walked over to the benches and took her place, mentally wishing her team good luck and hoping that they would win today.

It was the last match for the school year of 2022/2023 and somehow Cash feeling a bit nervous. It was not the case in their first-ever match. No. Cash had been playing as Beater for their house as long as they can remember. Their nervousness was something the green eyes could not placate. Maybe perhaps since the house of Slytherin begin the new year with a bang which in other words won the first-ever match for this year, Cash had the same expectations of how they wanted to close the year.

As they listened to the strategy that both the new and old captains of the House of Snakes dished out, Cash donned their Quidditch gear and uniform. Once it was time to enter the pitch, the young socialite grab their Silver Arrow. It had been such a long time since the last time they rode the broom. Taking a deep breath as they took their formation in the lineup before entering the pitch, Cash tried to calm their nerves.

Once the announcer was done announcing the lineup for Gryffindor, it was time for Cash and the rest of the Slytherin team to kick off from the ground. Flying around the pitch when they are done the entrance lap is and always will be Cash's favorite moment before the gate of hell break loose. When the entrance lap was done, Cash took their position and park themselves high above the ground.

Their green eyes bounce from one Gryffindor player to the next. Some of their faces Caash was familiar with but some did not. It seems there is a change in the team so does Slytherin. No more the awesome and tenure C0-Captain of theirs, Tyranni Whitethorn. It was a shame that Whitethorn could not close the school year with them.

But with or without Whitethorn, the Cloud Cobras are always great and solid team players of Quidditch. The weather is sunny and clear. It was indeed a good day to fly around and whack Bludgers toward the opposing team. Gripping the handle of their bat a bit tighter, Cash thunks the bat against their broom shaft thrice.

"Let's close this year and win this match with a bang, Cobras!"They uttered. "Strike hard, strike first, no mercy!"Cash yelled out battling with the uproaring cheering and screaming that surrounded the pitch courtesy of the exciting and loyal spectators that attend today's match. Let the game begin!

Dan was still seething a bit at what had happened in the last match. It was still loads of fun, and being the announcer for Ravenclaws match against Ravenclaw was a blast.

Now though, they needed a win. For morale's sake. Dan tried to put the depression of losing multiple treasured members aside. This was for his team. He had to bring morale up. He was the team captain. And they would make it through this one as winners.

"Let's take this home, Cloud Cobras! Lets get us a win!"

It was Mellani's first quidditch match, and she was very excited for it, even though she knew that she was benched and didn't have any important role to play unless one of the other chasers fell down or had to drop out. Mellani took her place on the bench and looked at the match with great concentration, not wanting to make any mistake in case she did have to play.
