Hufflepuff Practice Y39 S1

Tilly almost let out a whoop as her bludger smacked into @Lucas Fletcher. Almost. There was nothing like swinging her bat to get back into the swing of things.

René was still nursing his own bludger hit when Tilly sent one towards Lucas. He wasn't nearly fast enough to fend it off and grimaced as Lucas took the hit. Defence was a lot harder than he thought.
 
René hovered awkwardly near Lucas, wanting to ask if he was okay but not wanting to call attention to his failure at blocking the bludger. Seeing that Lucas wasn't obviously seriously hurt, René backed off a little, wanting to give Lucas some space and sulk a little himself.
 
Lucas yelped when the bludger slammed into him. It was the second one that hit him and it started to really hurt.
 
René didn't envy Lucas being targeted by so many bludgers. He glanced around, trying to spot where the bludgers were right now in case any more where headed this way.
 
Connor had to look away as Lucas was hit again, trying hard to process their whole situation. It didn't make Quidditch any easier, that was for certain.
 
René flew awkwardly behind Lucas, not wanting to risk him taking another hit but still trying to stay out of the way. He took a half-hearted swing at a passing bludger but only really succeeded in knocking his bat off of it.
 
Bat tight in his hand Connor tried to distract himself from thoughts about Lucas and focus on the task at hand, soaring across the pitch towards another bludger. He swung hard and the ball shot clear across the pitch, striking his fellow Beater. As glad as he was to get a hit, Connor couldn't help noticing as he looked around that the team was in bad shape. He glanced at Amy, wondering if they needed to take a break soon.

Lucas didn't see the snitch anywhere and scowled when he saw Connor hit another bludger at one of their teammates. He was already mad at Connor, and seeing him hit others with bludgers wasn't helping.
 
René flinched with his bat out of instinct when Connor hit a bludger, relieved it went towards Tilly and not him or Lucas this time.
 
Tilly swore loudly when Connor's bludger hit her. Grimacing, she gave him a thumbs up and carried on.
 
René couldn't help laughing to himself when Tilly swore, glancing around to see if she'd get in trouble with the captains even if he thought it was pretty fair considering how much bludgers could hurt.
 
Connor couldn't help his guilt being a little worsened as Tilly swore in pain. "LANGUAGE!" He called out to her, figuring that felt like a duty Prefects probably had.

((im a silly goof i hit other action by accident so ive chosen to make that action scolding tilly :V))
 
Lucas couldn't help himself. "If you hadn't hit her, she wouldn't have had to swear!" He called to Connor as he passed him, rolling his eyes. How dare he call her out for her language after hurting her? How had Lucas ever liked him?
 
Lucas didn't wait for a response from Connor, he flew off to look for the snitch some more.
 
René made a low 'oohh' sound when Connor told off Tilly, ducking a little lower on his broom as if he'd get in trouble for listening, sinking even lower with Lucas talked back. René would have never had the nerve for that, and he hadn't expected to hear it from Lucas, considering he seemed so.. non-threatening, but René supposed seekers all had to be made of tougher stuff just to play.
 
Lucas flew a little lower, looking around for any sign of the snitch.
 
Connor had finally slightly managed to distract himself from Lucas's presence when he was abruptly reminded, wincing at the comment. He knew he really should leave it alone - Lucas had every right to be mad at him, as much as he hated it. But talking back to him during practice, undermining his authority as captain... it wasn't acceptable behaviour, and wasn't something he could just let slide. "I'm a Beater, it's my job, focus on your own!" He yelled back as Lucas flew away, already feeling guilty even as the words came out of his mouth. He tried to shake it off and stay focused, flying after a bludger and giving another hard swing, the ball flying across the pitch to hit the newest of their Chasers.
@Lucas Fletcher @Blair Silver

((Note to other beaters @Tilly Drage @Rene Tofilau Verity has had to leave the team for personal reasons, so please avoid hitting Bobbi as she won't be able to respond.))

René ducked his head again when Connor started to yell back at Lucas, trying to subtly veer away from him to hopefully stay out of the line of fire. As he turned his broom he spotted a bludger headed their way, trying to hit it back towards Connor and hopefully distract their captain a little. It wasn't a good hit and René grimaced as the bludger spun off into @Linden Cullen instead.

Lucas distantly heard Connor shout something at him but made a 'blah blah' movement with his hand briefly.
 
René hung back after hitting Linden, deciding maybe he should let Lucas have some space.
 
Circling around the pitch, René looked for another bludger to take a swing at, though his arms and legs were well beyond aching at this point.
 
Amy caught the quaffle and overheard Connor and Lucas. She was unsure if she should call a time out, but she felt that there was something going on. She looked over at Connor to see if he wanted to call a break, since the team was in pretty bad shape anyway.
 
René half-heartedly took after one of the bludgers, chasing after it with his bat slightly raised as he tried to get in a hit.
 
Connor could see Rene going for one of the bludgers and shot after the other one, bat ready to swing. Letting bitterness guide his action a little more than he meant to, Connor took a swing towards Lucas, but as luck would have it the ball cut a wide arc through the air, curving around to hit Connor himself squarely in the shoulder, and he cried out in pain.

((i got a bludger off course and this was the only feasible option lmao oops))
