Y38 Gryffindor Quidditch Practice S1

Snitch be gone.
 
Nikko kept his attention on the quaffle. The chasers were doing great and it made practice exciting, that's for sure. He managed to block Skylar's shot again and threw it back into the game.
 
(So sorry was crazy times at work and there was ice again since so many years in our country so I was outside for most of the time for ice skating. But here we go again XD)

Noel was glad to see the chasers were doing so greatly. He smiled at Knox and Skylar although was worried that the seeker was still searching. He hoped Flynn was finding it soon. But they could use all the practice and he was glad to do so. He was distracted for an moment and got hit by an bludger for the second time. He made an painfull face as it hit him in the back, it was never nice. And he hoped this was the last time. He watched Skylar missing the quaffle and waited for the other team to catch it or to try and steal it away if he had to chance.
 
Sully scooped up the quaffle as Nikko blocked Skylar's shot, giving him a thumbs up and turning to check for Chloë before moving down the pitch.
 
Chloë hoovered in place for a second as she waited for Nikko to throw the quaffle back out. She watched as Sully scooped it up, following after him and sticking close for backup.
 
Sully eyed Ronald as he and Chloë approached. He really wanted to make up for his last few blocked goals and score again, but he knew Chloë probably had a better shot if he could distract Ronald. Making up his mind, Sully passed over to Chloë, hoping she could score one for them both. It'd still half count as his goal is she did. @Chloe Thompson
 
Chloë managed to catch the quaffle just in time when Sully passed it to her, quickly aiming it for one of the hoops. A bit too quickly perhaps as Ronald still managed to catch it. “Sorry.” She gave a little shrug as she turned around to face Sully and get back in position to wait for Ronald to throw the quaffle back out.
 
Seeing Sully throw to Chloë, Skylar had attempted to intercept, but she was beginning to get a bit tired, and didn’t get there fast enough. She watched as Chloë tried to score and cheered for Ronald when he managed to block it. “Good job Ronald!” She called out, and caught the quaffle once it was thrown back in, although a bit shakily. She was definitely beginning to lose her energy, and her confidence for that matter too, but she began to fly to the other end of the pitch anyway, hoping she’d have more luck with scoring.
 
Maybe the snitch had gone on holiday. It probably deserved a nice break.
 
Noel flew after Sully as he managed to get the quaffle. Than it went to Chloe but Ronald catched it. He put up his thumb towards the keeper glad the boy had some succes. It was hard for the keepers. Noel flew along as Skylar managed to catch it. He hoped she would go for it, but he was there in case she needed assistent.
 
Skylar was almost at the hoops and wondered whether she should pass to Noel or go for it herself. She wanted to prove herself and get at least one more shot in, but then again Noel might do a better job than her... she decided she’d go for it one more time and if she still didn’t make it she’d just pass to Noel the next time and let him have a go. Besides she needed all the practice she could get. Nearing the goals, she threw the quaffle into the right hoop, but sighed as it didn’t go in, yet again. Now this was just beginning to get embarrassing. 5 failed attempts in a row... sighing in disappointment, she turned around to see who’s catch the quaffle next, making a mental note to just pass to Noel next time, since he’d probably do a better job than her anyway.
 
Sully clicked his tongue when Chloë's shot was block, waving a hand when she apologized. "Next one, aye," he said to her with a smile. "Ronald's just turning up the difficulty on us now, hah." After Skylar zipped across and tried her own score attempt, Sully swooped in to grab the quaffle again after Nikko threw it back in.
 
Still a bit frustrated with how she wasn’t managing to score, Skylar halfheartedly followed Sully across the pitch as he took the quaffle, secretly wondering when the practice would end as she was beginning to get quite tired.
 
Sully decided it was his turn to take a shot, zipping across the pitch and winding up a shot. He let out a cheer as it managed to sail through the center hoop, glad to finally get another goal in after a short dry spell.
 
Skylar smiled as Sully’s shot made it through. She was glad the other chasers were doing well, but a bit disappointed that she wasn’t. She grabbed the quaffle as it was thrown back into play and turned around to fly back across the pitch, keeping an eye out for @Noel Waldgrave to see if she could pass to him.
 
Not seeing Noel anywhere near her yet, she continued flying a bit closer to the hoops, wondering whether she should just go for the shot again, even though she hadn't succeeded before. Maybe now she'd finally get it? But then again, maybe she'd just embarrass herself further by failing to score again.
 
(My god that took 8 pages we did it guys xD )

While he wasn't incredibly paying attention to much else, to his surprise, a sudden glint of gold caught his attention. Instantly his instincts took over and Flynn shot off towards it, not really hoping for much. So imagine his surprise when he got closer and saw it was actually the snitch. After all that nonsense it was a surpringly easy catch and Flynn could just blink at the golden ball sitting in his palm. "Now you choose to show up?"
 
Skylar was about to try and score after not seeing a good chance to pass to Noel when she saw something, or more like someone speeding off to catch something. She clumsily tried to throw the quaffle into the hoops just so she could see what was happening better, and wasn't all too surprised when she completely missed the hoops, so Nikko didn't even need to block it since it wouldn't have gone in anyway. Turning around to see what had happened she grinned in delight when she saw Flynn had finally caught the snitch. "Yay Flynn!!" she cheered, happy that he'd caught it at least once before the practice was over. Seeker was definitely a hard position to play, at least in her eyes, so she was very happy for him!
 
Ronald is so happy that finally, Flynn catches the snitch and so incredible feeling that this practice will be helpful in the actual game and so proud to his year level Flynn, Skylar, and I is 3rd-year Gryffindor he wishes that someday the three of us will become a close friend, Ronald claps his hand and said "congratulations Flynn good job".
 
Lysander slowed down when he heard a commotion, looking around the pitch to see that Flynn had finally caught the snitch. It was a relief to see he'd managed it before the end of the practice, though it also was practically the end of the practice, judging by the time. It was fine, everything was fine. They could still win, and it would likely only be at the cost of the beaters potentially hospitalising Slytherins seekers during the match, to give Flynn more time to catch the snitch. No big deal. "Congratulations, Flynn! I think that's a wrap for today. Everyone head back down!" He called out, signalling for the team to touch down to the lawn.​
