Gryffindor Quidditch Practice Y47/S1

Rāwhiti bit back painful disappointment. At least Milo wasn't scoring either, but how was he supposed to have any hope of beating Hufflepuff with a first practice like this?
 
Milo turned his head quickly, sure he'd seen something dart right past time. Not wanting to waste time confirming it in case Rāwhiti had also seen, Milo took off across the pitch after it.
 
Fraser followed behind Veronica as she caught the quaffle.
 
Miro finally managed to spot a bludger ahead of him, and sped forward, reaching to hit it with his bat. He managed to hit it successfully and watched as it headed towards @Milo Frogg.
 
Opp, edited cause Anna and I posted at the same time lol
Still chasing blind, Milo kept up his speed, hoping his eyes could catch up with the rest of him before Rāwhiti cottoned on. Whatever chance he had though was quickly stopped in its tracks when Milo took another bludger, broom once again spinning off course as Milo just did his best to hang on and breathe as the bludger collided with him. "Are you guys just scared to hit him cause he's the captain or something?" Milo called grumpily, motioning over where Rāwhiti was being left unbothered by bludgers. Cowards. If anyone needed the extra bludger dodging practice, it was Rāwhiti.
 
Alicia followed behind Veronica and Fraser.
 
Once she was close enough to the hoops Veronica took a shot at goal but she missed.
 
Alicia shot Veronica a sympathetic smile, knowing what she was feeling. She grabbed the quaffle once it was thrown back in.
 
Santiago smirked as Milo got hit again. He hadn't been the one to do it but he wasn't going to complain. Instead he searched for another bludger to hit.
 
Teddy blocked again, he felt ready for anything.
 
Santiago swung and missed.
 
Alicia nearly screamed in frustration when she missed another shot. Either the keeper was really good, or she was just not doing well. She flew off and tried her best to blow off some steam.
 
Milo took a sour lap around the pitch, mostly just to get his bearings and shake off the aches from multiple bludgers.
 
Ivy could see the other chasers getting frustrated. She wanted to shout something at them to encourage them but wasn’t sure what she could say. To be honest it sort of made her feel pleased. She had been worried that as the newest member on the team she would be the worst. But she wasn’t. At least not by any huge margin. Teddy was just that good at keeping.
She flew forward to get the ball as it was thrown back into play. Nd started to fly again.
 
Santiago sighed and looked for another bludger to hit.
 
As frustrating as the search for the snitch was, Rāwhiti couldn't help being slightly cheered up by the sight of Milo taking a second bludger hit. He bit back a smile, keeping one eye on the younger boy to make sure he was okay before returning to the search.
 
While everyone around him was getting frustrated, Teddy was having a great time and continued to guard the hoops.
 
Ivy headed towards the goal. And took a shot. She thought the had it this time. But teddy was an excellent keeper. nice save she called, as she repositioned herself to help the next chaser. And wondered how much longer until they could have a water break as shouting had made her realise how dry her mouth was getting.
 
Santiago kept looking for bludgers. He wasn't sure why they were hiding but it was making it hard for him to do his job.
 
Once Ivy missed again Veronica grabbed the quaffle when Teddy threw it back into play.
 
Miro tried to look for another bludger to hit, but couldn't find anything.
 
Santiago swung and missed.
 
Fraser followed behind Veronica as she headed to the hoops.
 
Veronica took her chance to take a shot but she missed again.
 
Teddy caught the quaffle and tossed it back out to play, "Almost Veronica, keep trying!" He called out, although it did sound a little patronising.

Edit: Noticed an irksome typo
