Hufflepuff Quidditch Practice Y50 S1

[Marley Owens-Lee]

Hufflepuff,Practice​

Marley had been a bit nervous about being a captain on her own this time around, but she was also excited and ready to take on the challenge. The girl did like the responsibility, though, as well as enjoyed Quidditch. The weather was good, sunny with a bit of cloud, so the weather was decent for today's practice. Marley made sure to be at the pitch a bit earlier to set up. Making sure that there were some extra brooms in case the team needed any, as well as some water. Their house hadn't won the last few years, and she had hope that this would be their year.

Marley stood on the edge of the pitch as she waited for her teammates. Slowly starting to see him trickling in onto the pitch. Her broom in hand as she smiles at them. Once she had seen that everyone had arrived, she grinned at them. "Hiya everybody! Welcome to Quidditch practice! Massive welcome to returning and to the fresh new faces on the team! We're excited to have you here! If you didn't know or need a refresher, my name is Marley and I'm the captain for the Hufflepuff team this year. If you have any questions about Quidditch or just anything in general, I am happy to help! Don't feel shy to ask" Marley says with an encouraging grin as she looks at the group. She could see that some of them were nervous and wanted to encourage them to do well. "Today, we'll just get right into it. Chasers, try your best to score, and passing is encouraged! Maybe try and get a few steals in too" Marley says with a small nod. "Beaters aim and get some defending in there too! Keepers as always, try your best to guard those hoops and seekers, try get that golden snitch" Marley says with encouragement, though they knew it was an obvious thing; she was trying her best to encourage the team. That's what a captain does, right? "Let's do this!" Marley says with a nod, as she blows the whistle, as she watches them fly up into the air and followed after them into the air

Out of Character:

no arrivals! straight to it!

 

[Sofi Ayre]

Sofi was really excited to have made the starting line up after a couple of years as an alt. She listened to Marley, nodding at the instruction to catch the snitch. Sofi then looked up at the sky to see if she could spot the snitch before kicking off.

 

[Marley Owens-Lee]

marley was surprised she had immediately found a bludger already when up in the air, she had aimed the bludger for the older seeker, but it had hit one of the keepers instead... oops!

Sofi didn't see anything from the ground that she began flying higher for a better view.

[Sofi Ayre]

Sofi was whacked by a bludger and it hurt, but she had learnt to toughen up to it. She went to give Marley a thumbs up but instead she spotted a glint of gold behind her head. Sofi pushed forward hard,catching up to snitch and reaching out to grab it the snitch. "Yes! I got it!" She just had to do the same thing again in their next game.

 

[Jonathan Boot]

Jono was trying to focus on the enjoyment of being on a team and playing a sport more than the pressure of said sport being one he wasn't as familiar with. Or several metre in the air. It helped the weather was good and Marley's instructions were vague and low pressure. At least until practice got going and Marley immediately hit Sofi before she grabbed the snitch. No pressure. Right. Jono focused on warming up a little as he eased his broom around the pitch and gave Sofi a lil room to release the snitch.

 

[Sofi Ayre]

Sofi released the snitch and watched it until it disappeared from sight again.

 

[Jonah Edogawa]

Jonah grabbed the quaffle and flew to the hoops

 

[Jonathan Boot]

Jono felt his broom judder in response as he gripped it just a tad too tightly while taking a turn. It was almost like it was alive sometimes, which honestly made him feel worse rather than better. He tried to focus on keeping an eye out for the snitch instead.

 

[Marley Owens-Lee]

[Sofi Ayre]

Sofi had already caught the snitch once and didn't want to show off by catching it again so soon after.

 

[Jonah Edogawa]

Jonah zoomed towards the hoops and threw the quaffle, watching with satisfaction as it sailed through.

 

[Nox Walden-Cade]

Nox got things started right away and immediately hit @Sofi Ayre

 

[Jonathan Boot]

Jono grimaced at Sofi as she got hit by a bludger; if it was anything like getting tackled, he could sympathize. Making a note to keep a closer eye on the beaters, Jono continued his search.

[Doyle Mooney]

Doyle took to the air quickly and got in position in front of the hoops quickly.

 

[Jonathan Boot]

Jono took a moment to circle the hoops near Doyle, giving his roommate a quick nod of hello as he went past.

[Doyle Mooney]

Doyle dangled his legs as he waited for the chasers to make their next move.

 

[Marley Owens-Lee]

marley managed to get bludger, aiming it towards the younger seeker, though she winced a little, feeling bad about it. @Jonathan Boot

 

[Nox Walden-Cade]

Nox went to aim a bludger at the seeker but instead hit @Jonah Edogawa. "Sorry Jonah!"

 

[Marley Owens-Lee]

[Jonah Edogawa]

Jonah grabbed the quaffle just in time for a bludger to collide solidly against his side. He grit his teeth and circled the pitch, “Imma get you back for that!” he said almost petulantly.
