Open S1 Y42 Beauxbatons Practice

Eren decided he was just going to ignore the new keeper for the time being, grabbing the quaffle when he threw it back out and turning to head to the other hoops, eyes peeled for his fellow chasers. He'd much rather bother Xenia anyway.
 
Xenia had to try and focus. She slapped her face a couple of times, willing herself to do better, as she saw Eren approaching with the quaffle.
 
Eren grinned as he approached Xenia, spotting an opening over her right shoulder. He made sure to feint hard to the left before flying right at the last second, raising his eyebrows again pointedly at her as the quaffle made it through.
 
Xenia was a bit flabbergasted. How did she fall for such an obvious feint? She could blame the bludger, but she knew she was just playing poorly. Some captain she was. "Alright, I'll give you that one, it was a good throw," she said, trying to hide her frustration at herself. She tossed the quaffle back into play.
 
Bellamy was relieved to get a break from Eren and used the brief moment of peace to catch his breath and stretch out as much as he could in the air.
 
Eren hung back for a moment so he could spend time being appropriately smug about his goal as Xenia threw the quaffle back into play.
 
Bellamy kept his his eyes on the quaffle and waited to see who would grab it next.
 
Shooting forward, Eren took the quaffle yet again, glancing at the other chasers to see if anyone would challenge it. Maybe he could actually try passing it or something this time.
 
Bellamy groaned quietly to himself as Eren grabbed the quaffle again.
 
Xenia redoubled her focus. She didn't want to get too aggressive, but she certainly needed to play more aggressively if she wanted to play well.
 
Eren cast another considering glance at the chasers before deciding he'd much rather just make another goal himself, especially after he'd missed the last one against Bellamy. He guessed he was too obvious though, frowning deeply when the keeper was able to catch it. "That was a freebie," he said shortly, back up with his broom to await the quaffle again.
 
Xenia was a little relieved the goal was stopped, casually doing some arm stretches while she scanned the pitch again.
 
Bellamy's focus paid off as he managed to grab the quaffle out of the air before Eren's shot went through the hoops. He laughed a little at the older boy's comment and shook his head. "I'll take it. I don't care if it's free." he said mostly to himself before tossing the quaffle back into the game.
 
Ava hit a bludger but it didn’t hit anyone.
 
Figuring he'd have a better shot against Xenia, Eren grabbed the quaffle again. He just needed to get used to the new keeper like he was with her, he figured, turning and flying towards the other hoops.
 
Xenia readied herself, knowing she needed to be swift and focused to block Eren's shot on goal.
 
Eren tried to fake out Xenia again as he approached her hoops but she seemed much more focused this time and he wasn't able to get a clear shot before he had to throw the quaffle, scrunching up his face in annoyance as the shot was blocked. "Good to see you're paying attention now," he called to her, coming back around to wait for the quaffle again.
 
Eren took a short lap of the pitch to shake off his repeated misses.
 
Xenia wasn't going to fall for the fakeout, and she was relieved that she actually blocked this time. That was more like it. "I just wanted to boost your ego," she teased, her mood improving a little as she threw the quaffle back into play. "Before bruising it."
 
Claire got a hold of the quaffle when no one else decided to take the quaffle, and made her way towards Bellamy's hoops.
 
Bellamy kept his eye on Clare as she came toward him with the quaffle.
 
Ava was too late in hitting the bludger when it sailed past her.
 
Claire got a hold of the quaffle again as Eren finished his lap and it was tempting to try and steal it from her but he hung back, curious to see how she'd do against Bellamy.
 
Xenia was glad to take a breath, watching what was going on at the other end carefully. She wondered if she should get some sunglasses that let her zoom in, or something, but that would also probably not work in the grounds.
