Quidditch Game: Beauxbatons vs Ilvermorny

[Reeve Buchanan]

Beauxbatons,Ilvermorny
There was a fierce wind blowing this afternoon, and Reeve worried for the seekers who were usually some of the smallest and lightest on their teams. It would be a fun game today, the two schools always played hard, and it was always a game worth watching and this wind was going to sure keep it all interesting.

Reeve finished speaking with both teams and was now on the pitch setting up. As the stands filled around him, the man grew more eager for the game to begin. Finishing his tasks, all that was left to do was wait for the captains.

Out of Character:

Arrivals only please. At this time, every player should familiarize themselves with the rules if they have not done so already. Captains, please be sure to complete your lineups in the cp before you post them here.

 

[Abigail Martin]

Abigail was glad they were playing on their home turf, she hoped the French players would be out of their comfort zone, at least a little. She wasn't too thrilled with the windy weather, but at least there was no rain. Abigail looked at Micha, giving him a quick nod. She believed he would win them the match. After working together for a bit, she started to respect him grudgingly. He was a good player, and a good captain, even if he was a bit soft sometimes. He was even a good friend, even though she wouldn't say that to him. She turned to the team. "Alright everyone, this is it. I want you all at your best. The wind is tricky, but nothing we can't handle." Abigail said. She then turned in the lineup, ready to start this.

[Felicity Sweetwater]

Felicity groaned as she stepped out onto the pitch, feeling the wind tug at her robes and hair as she made her way over to where Abigail and Micha were standing to address the team. Not only was the wind going to make the bludgers and players act unpredictably today, but no doubt she was going to end up looking like a mess after the game, which was not what she wanted when there were a bunch of hot French players visiting. Trying not to pout to hard, Felicity vaguely listened as Abigail spoke, eyes wandering over to the visiting team more than once as they got ready for the match.

 

[Eren Beste]

Eren wasn't very impressed with America, and not just because they'd lost to them last year. Still, he enjoyed the chance to get away from the school, arguably one of the key reasons he'd even considered joining the team, and leaned casually against his broom, trying to ignore the wind blowing his hair in his face as he eyed up the American team, trying to pitch out their chasers and keeper while he had a moment on the ground to size them up.

 

[Gwydion Amos]

Dion groaned as a gust of wind blew his quidditch robes around, standing next to Felicity and offering her a sort of helpless look. "Least I have an excuse for missing," he muttered only loud enough for her to hear. He turned back to Abigail, giving her a mock salute as he prepared to mount up and get started.

 

[Malik St. James]

Malik was more nervous than he thought he would be. Not only was it his first official game ever, he was also in America for the first time. It was quite unnerving to be in a new country in front of a new school full of people he had never seen before. Just standing there was making him feel quite self-conscious, especially given the fact he was towering above everyone else. But he was trying to look determined, though was also slouching as much as possible to try and not stand out too much.

 

[Xenia Nikolaidou]

Xenia was a little nervous - they were out of their own comfort zone and at the Ilvermorny grounds. Last year's game had been rough. But she wasn't going to let that hold her back - practice had gone reasonably well, after all. They were coming back stronger this time around. "I am not doing a speech," she started, looking pointedly at Eren as she said that with a small smirk. "Let's give them hell."

[Ophelia Reilly]

Ophelia was ready for this game. she was in amongst her team, and waiting for things to get kicked off. Feeling rather confident about their chances of winning.

 

[Pearl Parra]

Pearl had never participated in a real quidditch game and she felt like this was going to go terribly. She had lied her way through and now she would fail. She could lie, having already laid the groundwork by saying that her stomach felt funny but time would tell if she'd need it.

 

[Vincent Poe]

Vincent Poe had his broom ready as he made his way to the quidditch pitch of Ilvermorny. The wind was blowing pretty hard so he was a little worried about it. But hopefully, they could win this thing.

 

[Micha Kovac]

Micha was happy not to be traveling for the game this year and he hoped it would being them good luck. They had a great season last year and he hoped he could pull it off one last time before he graduated and had to move on. He had poured so much of himself into the team over the years and he wanted it to matter. He stood next to Abigail and nodded supportively as she spoke. "That's right!" he said. "Let's show them what we've got!"

 

[Zoey Hawkins]

Zoey was eager to get a chance to actually start this season. Practice had gone ok but she was hoping the pressure of an actual game would help keep her focused and sharp. She knew the older chasers would probably control possession of the quaffle most of the game but she didn't want to be completely over shadowed. The weather was less than ideal but the captains seemed optimistic, even Abigail for a change. She gripped her broom tightly in her hand and waited for the game to start.

 

[Bellamy Parish]

Bellamy was more than happy to stay on the bench yet again this year. But he still participated as the team gathered around their captain. Her speech....wasn't exactly a speech but he still cheered on the rest of his teammates as he took his seat. If he was lucky he would spend the whole game there. With a sigh he remember how proud his mom had been when he had made the team. Was this really what she was so proud of?

 

[Reeve Buchanan]

Reeve greeted the captains with a nod. The man reviewed the line up cards and found no issues. He placed them into his pocket before casting the Sonorus charm. "Both teams were given instructions in their locker room areas. I expect this will be a fun but fair match. Today. Beauxbatons, you'll guard the North hoops and Ilvermorny, you will guard the South. Let's get ready to fly!"

Reeve opened the game chest and freed the bludgers and snitch without incident which he was happy about. Reeve reached for the quaffle and mounted his broom. He kicked off, soaring higher and higher. With a large puff of air, the man tossed the quaffle as high as he could. "Game on!"

[Abigail Martin]

Abigail grabbed the quaffle as soon as the game started, zooming off with it.

 

[Malik St. James]

Malik was quick to jump into the air, shooting off and finding a bludger to hit. towards the seeker. With some surprise, it did go in the right direction, but headed up veering off course and right into one of the Ilvermorny chasers instead @Noah Webb. Oh well, he supposed it could be worse.

 

[Abigail Martin]

Abigail rushed towards the hoops and threw the quaffle forcefully at the middle one, making it zoom right past the keeper's head as it flew through. She grinned, this was going to be their game.

 

[Noah Webb]

Noah hopped onto his broom when the game was started, flying after Abigail but grimacing when he got hit with a bludger almost right away.

 

[Ava Hastings]

Ava chased after a bludger.

 

[Micha Kovac]

Micha was glad to see Abigail grab the quaffle as the whistle blew and he even cheered when she scored. This was a great start. But he knew he needed to focus if he wanted to find the snitch first.

 

[Malik St. James]

Malik searched for another bluldger.

 

[Ophelia Reilly]

After the other team managed to score, Ophelia raced forward and grabbed the quaffle.

 

[Pearl Parra]

Pearl was watching as the beaubatons chaser grabbed the ball. She needed to do well now.

 

[Ava Hastings]

Ava hit a bludger towards the other team’s seeker but missed.

 

[Malik St. James]

Malik went to hit another bludger, but huffed when it missed the seeker.
