Gryffindor Quidditch Practice S1/Y48

Teddy watched Alicia take the quaffle and prepared to defend the hoops again.
 
Milo cursed as Aroha caught up to where he was trailing the snitch, bumping shoulders as the two of them jostled for position, not quite able to reach it either as they sped across the pitch.
 
Aroha concentrated hard, the chase was on, but the snitch wasn't making it easy for either of them. She was trying to get close but Milo kept getting in the way. Irritated, she tried to nudge him a bit off course, but it only made her fumble a bit and fall a half metre behind.
 
Milo grinned as Aroha lost ground, keeping a tight hold of his broom to stay on course. His face fell as the snitch suddenly darted right, banking sharply to try and maintain his slim lead.
 
Rose watched the fight for the snitch, wondering who would get it first, as she continued to guard her hoops.
 
Damn Alicia was good, it was hard to begrudge her being on the team over he when she watched her steal the quaffle again, Veronica followed her to the hoops for support suspecting she'd keep the quaffle this time and not blaming her one bit for it.
 
Aroha gained speed again, a little taken off guard when the snitch darted, and struggling to keep up but maintaining her place in the race nonetheless.
 
Milo fell back into pursuit, weaving through the chasers after the snitch, doing his best to cut off Aroha when he could.
 
Milo was being sneaky, but Aroha had to keep reminding herself that this was good practice. No way anyone would go easy on her during an actual game. She ducked a bludger and moved forward, trying to pre-empt Milo cutting her off and only succeeding somewhat. If only she could get close to the snitch...
 
Milo swore as Aroha cut him off, having to take a short dive to avoid going completely off course. His eyes were still on the snitch but he hadn't managed to shake Aroha yet.
 
Alicia flew back up to the hoops and attempted to score, sighing when it was blocked by Teddy.
 
Teddy had been distracted watching the seekers race for the snitch that he almost missed the quaffle. He caught it at the last moment and threw it back out to play.
 
Not wanting to risk Aroha getting there first, Milo took a wide swipe at the snitch, grunting in annoyance as he missed. He needed to slow down and think strategically about this, trying to brute force it clearly wasn't working.
