Gryffindor Practice Game

Chloë laughed at Noel and Sully rooting for their chaser squad and Lysander responding by doing the same for the beater squad. She liked how competetive their team was, almost having two competitions going on at one with the gold team versus the scarlet team and every position against the others. She couldn't dwell on that for too long though, as she needed her focus now she was heading back towards the hoops.
 
Willow kept flying and chuckled as Lysander started following her. can you keep up? she asked before she spotted a glint off gold on the other side of the pitch. She leaned forward and flew full speed towards it. But by the time she was there it was gone. She reached out her hand and started to fly back in an uneven zig zag pretending the it was still in front of her trying to make an escape before ending in a climb.
 
As Chloë approached the hoops she lined her shot up and took it once she was close enough to try. Only to be unsuccessful. Again. She let out a soft groan as she turned away from the hoops again, trying to not let it get to her. Although that was definitely easier said than done.
 
Sully could share the other chaser's disappointment with the constant blocked shots, even if technically Chloë and Knox were on the other team. "We're just warming up," He assured Chloë, scooping up the quaffle when it was thrown back in.
 
Lysander had been about to retort when Willowsped off, and he definitely could not keep up. Seekers were so fast. He never had to be that quick to hit a bludger. Turning around, he flew back to his Scarlet teammates to try defending them.
 
sorry ive been mia

Sierra continued to fly around the pitch, racing after a twinkle in the sky, that had disappeared by the time she got there.
 
Rule 2a (I hope this is an acceptable use for this, I brushed up on the rules and it seems to make sense!)
​
When Noel got possession Knox followed him, smiling a little when his attempt to score went wide, and then serving to follow Chloe when she caught the quaffle again, hoping being nearby would support her. When she also wasn’t able to score he smiled reassuringly at her, positive that sooner or later someone on team Scarlet would score, and they would be ten points closer to matching team Gold in points. Even if team Gold’s 150 point lead seemed impossible to match, Knox still wanted to try, and moved to follow Sully who got possession of the quaffle when it was thrown back into the game. Knox soon had a chance to intercept and swooped in to steal the quaffle from Sully, sticking his tongue out at Sully and blowing him a raspberry for good measure, before he turned to head back to the hoops with the quaffle safely tucked under his arm.​
 
Sully was checking over his shoulder for Noel when he felt someone slip the quaffle from under his arm. Offended, he whipped around, surprised to see Knox literally stealing away with it. "Oh it's on," He announced, swooping after Knox with a laugh and yell.
 
Lysander laughed as he watched Knox and Sully, and flew slightly behind them as he kept an eye out for bludgers.
 
Chloë shook the feelings of her failed attempt off as she moved to follow Sully after he took the quaffle, deciding she had to switch her flip back to enjoying the training rather than sulking that none of hem had managed to score yet. After all, sulking never did anyone any good. "Yeah, Knox!" She shouted with a little laugh when her teammate managed to steal the quaffle from Sully, flying in closer to offer some support.
 
Knox noted Chloe was flying nearby, and considered passing the quaffle to her. But when he realised he was close enough to the hoops to attempt a goal and remembered Sully was on his tail, he decided he should just go for it and threw the quaffle as hard as he could towards the far right hoop. He swore under his breath when his attempt failed, and shot Chloe a sheepish grin. He made a mental note to pass it to Chloe next time, as he swerved back to follow whoever caught the quaffle when it was thrown back into the game.​
 
As much as Lysander wanted to do better than the chasers, there was no beating solo Keeper squad at this point. Christian had blocked so many shots now, and he had to admit he was impressed. It seemed pretty boring to wait by the hoops all the time and not be allowed to move around the pitch, but it honestly seemed like kind of a fun job today.
 
Sierra was getting frustrated by the fact she hadn't seen the snitch yet, and Willow had already caught it, but she tried to channel her frustration into better seeing skills.
 
Willow let out a burst of laughter as lysander fropped behind. speed was fun. and there was no one on the quidditch pitch who needed to be as fast as the seeker. She looked around trying to reorrientate herself. and saw sierra flying looking about as annoyed at the snitch as she felt. "Are you having any luck over there" she called to the other seeker though she was pretty sure the answer would be no.
 
Noel saw Chloe missing also. And gave her an sympatatic smile. They were trying but so far no luck. Noel followed Sully as he took posession again but than Knox suddenly came in between and took it away. Noel felt the competition now. And raced against Knox trying to make him feel nervous. '' It is indeed! Let's go.'' He grinned and screamed towards Sully. Laughing a bit because of this competition between eachother. But they were on good terms with eachother and he would like to get to know Knox also better. When Knox missed he quickly took posession of the quaffle as it was tossed back into the game. Christian was doing an brilliant job, also handy for the game. But they needed to score soon! The Gryffindor flew with the quaffle under his arm hoping to score with the next attempt.
 
Chloë shrugged at Knox when he didn't score either, shooting him a smile. It seemed kind of crazy that none of them had managed to score yet but it also brought back the competetive side of the training game, which made it more fun. At this point she was certain all four of them wanted to be the one to score the first goal. Chloë pushed forward when Noel caught the quaffle, trying to stay as close on his tail as she could.
 
Lysander veered his broom away, flying off to find Emma and see how she was doing. He'd been so invested in competing that he hadn't had time to try and talk to her while they played. "Hit any chasers yet?" He grinned, slowing down to chat.
 
Willow kept flying but there was still no sign of the snitch. Had it flown off somewhere and enjoying a afternoon by the lake free from students trying to catch it.
 
my god why are we not scoring

Noel tried to get close to the hoops. He saw Chloe flying close and he tried to spot Sully. Noel than figured he would try himself again. He was close but Christian hold it again. Their keeper was amazing. But they needed to score, because this was not good for the game. Noel was frustrated a bit but tried to keep the spirit.
 
Sander raised his bat as a bludger flew close by, though his swing sailed over it and it continued on its path passed him.
 
[ooc they're babies shhh]
Sully was both pleased and disappointed that Noel caught the quaffle as it was thrown in. He desperately wanted one of them to finally score, but still secretly hoped he would be the one doing it. Noel missed his shot and Sully gave him a commiseratory clap on the shoulder as they waited for the quaffle to be thrown back in.
 
Willow kept flying. but there was still no sign of the snitch. maybe they should have stopped practice when she had 'won' the game as this was just getting disheartening
 
Chloë easily scooped up the quaffle when Christian threw it back out. She locked it under her arm and turned away from the hoops, ready to get right back down to business and do a little lap to give their keeper some breathing time.
 
Lysander was getting frustrated with himself. He didn't totally want to hit someone with a bludger, but he wanted to feel like he was doing a good job. He sped forward to catch up with the bludger he had missed and gave it a hard whack, though again it didn't go anywhere near where he wanted to.
 
Determined to turn things around, Sully gave a whoop when Chloë caught the quaffle next, shooting off after her with the intent to harry her as much as possible.
