Ravenclaw Quidditch Practice Y42 S2

[Xiuying Huang]

Ravenclaw,Practice​

Xiuying had been a little bit disappointed that Ravenclaw hadn't won their game with Gryffindor. But that didn't mean that was going to ruin her spirits, and she had hoped that maybe, just maybe, they would win against Slytherin. However, the Ravenclaw captain couldn't help but feel a little nervous about the game with Slytherin. She knew how tough and aggressive the team could get if they wanted to. However, she hoped the practice would somewhat boost her and the team's confidence.

The weather for practice had been okay. It was mostly cloudy, with a slight breeze from time to time, which she had wished wasn't happening today. Xiuying came to the pitch a little earlier than usual to set up for practice. Extra brooms for her teammates that forgot to bring theirs or didn't have one. She also made sure to offer some water to her teammates, just in case they ever needed it at all.

Xiuying stood by the table, as she awaited for the rest of the Ravenclaw team to make their way towards the pitch. The captain smiled at her team. "Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing great" Xiuying says, trying her best to be enthusiastic as possible, despite being a little nervous. "We have our upcoming game with Slytherin right around the corner. Try your absolute best! All I ask is to do your part and try your best. Chasers, we did great during our game with Gryffindor, so keep practising with those scorings. Also, try and pass the quaffle to each other when you can, some passing would be great! Beaters, hit those bludgers but also try and defend the seekers!" Xiuying says with a smile, trying to make her directions as clear as possible. Once she thought that the team had heard her loud and clear, she released the balls, and let the practice begin.

Out of Character:

No arrivals! Just get straight into practising! Sorry that this was posted a little late!

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael was quietly soiling himself over the prospect of having to play against Slytherin considering from what he'd seen of their games they (or at least their captain) played seemingly to actually cause severe harm. Which, in fairness, he probably could have learned from and attempted to be a little more ruthless himself, but he wasn't exactly in the business of injuring his opponents. Maybe he needed to change up his position next year. But at any rate, he took to the air and looked for bludgers to hit.

 

[Monday Weeks]

Monday arrived on the pitch and immediately went into the air to start searching for bludgers. Playing against Slytherin was not on his bucket list since he heard the rumors of the captain, but hopefully they had seekers on standby.

 

[Branson Archer]

Branson took the quaffle and began flying towards the hoops.

 

[Savannah Walters]

Savannah flew up into the air and began looking for the snitch.

 

[Monday Weeks]

Monday kept his eye out for any bludgers.

 

[Branson Archer]

As soon as he was close, he tossed the ball and smiled as it sailed in.

 

[Savannah Walters]

Savannah did not see the snitch anywhere.

 

[Monday Weeks]

Monday managed to find a bludger and smacked it, soaring toward @Savannah Walters and it hit her. Monday figured that getting her ready for Slytherin, she should be used to getting hit.

 

[Crystal Holmgaard]

Crystal made her way to the pitch for another practice. She hoped they would win their next game but was actually an bit scared for Slytherin. Their beaters seemed brutal so nobody was safe. As everyone got their assignment Crystal was an bit dissapointed that the keeper seemed to be not named. But she knew what to do and flew to the left hoops. They started off quickly but Branson was quick again. And she saw the quaffle going through. She sighted and tossed it back, now ready to go.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael flew around warming up, not immediately seeing anything to hit though he probably should have defended Savannah better.

 

[Savannah Walters]

Savannah let out a moan of pain as she was hit with a bludger.

 

[Monday Weeks]

Monday flew, looking for more bludgers to hit.

 

[Savannah Walters]

Savannah did not catch the snitch.

 

[Michael Watson]

Nor did Michael hit a bludger.

 

[Monday Weeks]

Monday also did not hit a bludger.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael saw a bludger heading towards him, so he drew in a deep breath, looked around quickly and lined up a shot towards @Hamish Reid . He gave an apologetic glance, though quietly he wondered if Hamish would somehow get the ability to reinforce his skin with iron from bludger hits so the Slytherins wouldn't murder him.

Savannah x1
Hamish x1

 

[Crystal Holmgaard]

Crystal guarded the hoops with her lifeee.

 

[Monday Weeks]

Monday flew around the pitch.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael was considering whether that theory would even work, but luckily the next bludger was not as clean a hit and rather than hitting Hamish it veered off to @Rory Styx instead.

1x Savannah
1x Hamish
1x Rory

 

[Xiuying Huang]

Xiuying got a hold of the quaffle as it was thrown back in. The captain circled around the pitch and headed towards the hoops.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael's next bludger hit did not hit anyone, and he figured he should maybe try and play more defensively.

 

[Hamish Reid]

Hamish wasn't worried about this next match at all. Was he sure Celia might just kill him? Possibly. But he would just have to catch the snitch before she could. He jumped into the air, starting his search immediately.

 

[Michael Watson]

Michael looked around for bludgers to hit, shadowbatting as he did.

 

[Hamish Reid]

Hamish kept up his search.
