Hufflepuff,Practice​

Rene peered at the clouds overhead as he set up for practice, daring the weather to get any worst though it thankfully seemed like it was going to just stay overcast today. It'd already nearly rained on their tryouts, he didn't need more bad weather setting them back this year, not when he had a cup title to defend and their first match was up against Slytherin again. Rene had no doubts Celia would be out for blood and he felt even more on the back foot at the idea of trying to defend against her alone, let alone the rest of the team. His current plan made him uneasy, it wasn't exactly Hufflepuff's style, but if they wanted to win, it was likely their best bet. He hoped.

"Okay guys, hey, first off, great work last season, really. We earned that cup and I want us to earn it again this year. Oh and congrats to Veronique for moving up and taking over as starting Chaser this year," he said, turning to address the team as they'd gathered, trying to force his unease out of his mind for the moment. "Slytherin's going to be coming at us hot, they're a real offensive team, so I don't want to see you guys pulling any punches today. Chasers, Zag, let's be aggressive with our passes, goals, and blocks. Felix, Penelope, me and the other beaters are going to be really on you today so be ready. You'll need to get used to focusing with bludgers on your heels cause I doubt we'll have time to defend against them in our match so we're going pure offense, alright?" Rene finished, checking over the team to see if the game plan was sitting with them before pulling out his whistle and getting them into the air. "Let's do this!"

No arrivals, let's get straight into practice 🦡
 
Felix's stomach was in knots but he did his best to pay attention to Rene as he spoke. But when it was time to begin he took to the air and started looking for the snitch.
 
Rene wasn't sure if all out offense was going to be something the team could take to easily, but he wasn't confidence playing defensive was the way to go either, so really what did they have to lose. Still, his heart wasn't fully in the idea as he got in the air, keeping an eye on where the seekers were starting to move to as he readied his bat.
 
Renata was a bit nervous that they'd be facing Slytherin straight up, but she was going to go out there and play her best. She nodded at Rene, taking possession once she got into the air and looking around to see if she'd have an opportunity to pass off to one of the other chasers to get some passing practice in.
 
Felix kept flying and looking for the snitch.
 
Penelope took to the air and started looking around.
 
Felix kept looking.
 
Zag was, admittedly, a little nervous about the upcoming match with Slytherin. But they had beaten them once before, so was confident enough they could do it again. Listening to Rene, the keeper nodded his head before hopping on bis broom and taking to the sky, settling himself in front of the hoops.
 
Was he a little upset Veronique had decided to try out as chaser and taken the open chaser spot instead of him despite him being the alternate chaser? Maybe a little. But not enough to be all grumpy about it. It was probably for the better as he did kind of suck at this game. Scuffing a foot against the floor, Fin quietly mounted his broom before kicking off, though didn't look to get too involved. Knowing him, he'd probably just miss.
 
Renata saw Finley hanging back, but thought she might take an attempt to score first. Zagreus was able to stop it fairly easily though, and she grinned at the keeper.
 
Chase listened to René before hopping onto his broom and looking for a bludger.
 
After Renata's attempt to score Leo flew in and grabbed the quaffle.
 
Zag stayed alert in front of the hoops.
 
Leonardo approached the hoops quickly and tossed the quaffle, pleased to watch it sail in.
 
Zag cursed as the quaffle sailed past his fingers. He went to collect the ball again before tossing it out again.
 
Veronique was feeling anxious about today's practice as she took the air, following the other chasers as each scored. Smiling, she grabbed the quaffle when Zag threw it back in and headed out through the pitch.
 
Leo followed the new chaser as she took the quaffle.
 
Chase flew after a bludger
 
Veronique attempted to score, maybe a little too early, and tossed the quaffle over the hoops. "Oops! Sorry!" she called out, not to anyone in particular as she flew back a bit to let someone else better have a chance at the quaffle.
 
Felix tried to keep a level head as he kept looking. Practice had just started he didn't need to worry yet.
 
Zag stayed ready after the last miss.
 
Rene was glad to see the chasers getting into it, already having multiple shots on goal was a good sign. He however needed to focus now, turning his head to spot where the bludgers had gone.
 
After Veronique's attempt to score Leo flew in and grabbed the quaffle.
 
Felix kept searching.
 
Zagreus made sure to keep his eye on the quaffle this time.
