Hufflepuff Quidditch Practice Y40/S1

Linden went down to the quidditch pitch for practice. he listened as connor outlined the goals of the practice and he was a little glad that he hadn't followed in willows jetstream and decided to play seeker though he also felt bad about that looking at Lucas, his lucas he knew he wastougher than he looked but he still didn't want him to get hurt, and felix, new to the team and hardly more than a kid. he watched as people took the the air and within seconds there was a thwack of a bludger and he saw the new seeker keeling around "Come on, let him at least get into the air" he said though he doubted anyone heard him. but by then the match was in full swing and he was busy guarding the hoops.
he did what he could blocking hoops and calling advice until he heard another thwack and this time he felt it too as a blidger slammed into him throwing him off kilter for a few seconds. but the training continued and he continued to guard.
the newest chaser approached him with the quaffle. another boy who looked like a kid. he was a good shot and he couldn't get to the ball in time. "that was a great shot leo" he called retrieving the ball and throwing it back into play.
 
Looking around the players, Connor could see most of the team was looking pretty ragged at this point. While he was proud of his Beaters, he knew he would need to call a time out soon to keep everyone performing at the top of their game.
 
René tried flying a little lower than the other players, hoping staying out their way would make it easier for him to get to the bludgers.
 
Felix couldn't find the snitch anywhere and started to wonder if he was missing something. He watched Lucas out of the corner of his eye and tried to do what he did.
 
René tailed after a bludger, having to duck out of the way as it suddenly changed direction and sighing as he turned around to get back after it.
 
Rule 2

Leonardo was able to get the ball again and was gladly heading towards the hoops again. He could play well, he just needed to focus on it.
 
Lucas wasn't having a great practice, he still didn't see the snitch anywhere.
 
As soon as Leo was close enough he threw the ball, very happy to watch it sail in.
 
Lucas had been feeling pretty bad about the practice so far, but his heart leapt when he saw the golden glint. He grinned, reaching forward to grab the snitch. "Got it! " He called.
 
Rule 2

Leonardo felt a little bad as he caught the ball again. he was sure that other chaser would want to have a go, it just seemed like the ball kept coming to him. He began circling back towards the hoops.
 
Lucas released the snitch and watched it fly off, then he set off in the same direction.
 
Felix let out a cheer when he saw Lucas catch the snitch and hoped he'd be able to find it at least one more time before practice ended.
 
Blair let out a loud line of Russian swear words when the bludger hit her again, hoping that Connor won't be Mad at her. Even if he didn't understand what exactly she said, it was probably clear to understand by her intonation. "Good shot," she showed Rene thumbs up and then followed Leonardo who seemed to be really lucky with the quaffle.
 
When Leonardo was close enough he threw the ball and then he missed. He was a little disappointed about missing.
 
Lucas kept on flying, his side still stinging from the bludgers.
 
René felt himself flush when Blair complimented his hit, fully distracted looking at her when he swung at the bludger he'd been after and grimacing as he turned to watch it hit @Linden Cullen by sheer luck.

When Leonardo failed to score, Blair overtook the quaffle once it was back again and went for the hoops again, hoping to score too.
 
Bludgers were hitting a lot of people, Lucas tried to stay away from the beaters as he looked for the snitch.
 
Dodging around the seekers, René decided to send his next hit towards the chasers. He'd been aiming for Leonardo, but the chaser moved just as he hit the bludger and it shot into @Jordan Harris instead.

Tilly's stomach felt weird and she decided to fly on the periphery today. Honestly, she should have called out sick, but once she was on the pitch, there was no turning back. Unfortunately for her, she was hit with not one, but two bludgers from Rene. It was a miracle she managed to keep it together with the first bludger. With the second one, she was not so lucky. The iron ball hit her square in the stomach. She puked straight over the side of her broom. She hoped simultaneously that no one had seen it and that she hadn't traumatized a team member flying below.
 
Felix was glad Connor had told the beaters to back off him and Lucas. But it didn't seem to be helping him in his search. The snitch still stayed hidden.
 
Linden was kept busy as the newest chaser took a few shots on goal. The first time he had been a little distracted watching Lucas darting after the snitch before easing with it in his hand. He let out a cheer part for the chaser part for his boyfriend. Before he saw another ball coming quickly towards him. The bludger knocked him from where he was hovering and sent him through the hoops he looked back to where it came from if you want to hit balls through the hoops you should be a chaser he called to Rene once he had got his breath back.
@Rene Tofilau
 
Looking around at the team, Connor could see everyone was worse for wear, and Tilly puking cemented it in his mind. He grabbed the whistle around his neck and blew sharply, calling for the team's attention. "TIME OUT, EVERYONE TAKE A BREAK." He yelled, before descending to the ground. He grabbed a drink of water before taking a moment to wander over to Linden. "Hey Linden, remember what I told you at the start of practice. Eyes on your own task, no need to be calling out to other players." He had heard the Keeper shouting to the Beaters a few times during practice, and was starting to find it frustrating. Once they were done talking he took a moment to check on Tilly's nausea, before ushering the team back into the air to resume practice.
@Linden Cullen @Tilly Drage

OOCOut of Character:
All hit counters are reset for practice purposes, everyone get back in there!
 
René sunk a little lower on his broom when Linden called out to him, trying to think of something to say back. It was probably just team heckling, but his mind was blank on how to join in. Sully never had this problem he was sure. Thankfully, he was saved from responding by Tilly losing her lunch, which was pretty awful, and Connor calling time out quickly after that. He tried not to hover around Tilly as they grabbed some water and he stretched out his aching arms before getting back into the air.

Feeling a bit more refreshed, René didn't take long to get back on top of the bludgers, swinging hard at one in passing and wincing as it shot off into @Connor Holland immediately.

[I'm sorry he will not be stopped]
 
Connor had no sooner kicked off than another bludger was soaring his way. He tried to re-angle and hit it back but he moved too late, crying out as the bludger hit him in the shoulder. Blinking back a few tears of pain, Connor flew after the ball and redirected it, hitting the bludger at @Felix Carnahan.
