Y39 Gryffindor Quidditch Practice S2

[Lysander Summers]

If there was one thing Lysander had been looking forward to coming into a new term at Hogwarts, it was bringing the team back together after their break away for the holidays. He'd managed to schedule in a time and spent part of his morning getting the pitch set up for the practice. Hands on his hips, he waited for everyone to arrive so he could go through the regular old rousing speeches. "Alright! Us against Hufflepuff next match. I still can't believe Slytherin got knocked out that early." He whistled, shaking his head. They had been the ones to beat, but now it was shaping up to look like the badgers were going for the cup this time around. He wasn't worried. They'd taken out Hufflepuff before, they could do it again. "But we're a solid team, and no one's going to stand a chance against us this year. We just need to make sure we're keeping in tip-top shape, right? So let's get up there and do our best. Pretend that this is it - the finals. Then we need to do even better than that when it rolls around. I'm dividing us up into teams again. Isaiah, Chloe, Flynn and Nikko, you're with me. We're taking the north hoops. Sully, Emma, Noel, Ronald and Elara are at the south." He said, hefting his bat to his shoulder. He wanted to keep a closer eye on Flynn this time around, and figured having him on his team would be for the best. He kicked open the Quidditch chest, letting the balls fly free, and took to the sky. "No dawdling, let's go!"

[Flynn North-McGowan]

Flynn was actually excited for the upcoming game. They might actually have a chance to take home the cup. That was the plan, anyway. Nodding wordlessly to Lysander's words, Flynn hopped on his broom and instantly set off in search of the snitch.

 

[Chloe Thompson]

Chloë was excited for another term of quidditch, especially since they might just have a solid shot at winning. She listened to Lysander talk, nudging her cousin before pushing off into the air and grabbing a hold of the quaffle.

 

[Isaiah Thompson]

Isaiah was still stoked he got to be part of the team, even if he was an alternate. Getting a chance to be on a team at all was great and he had been enjoying it greatly so far. He stuck his tongue out at his cousin when she nudged him as Lysander finished talking and shot El a quick thumbs up before hopping onto his broom and looking for a bludger to hit.

 

[Solomon Tofilau]

Sully stifled a yawn as Lysander addressed the team, still not quite off his holiday sleep schedule yet. He did grin when he mentioned Slytherin's defeat; Gryffindor's chance for the cup had never been better and Sully was determined they'd win it for his and Noel's last year. "Let's show 'em what we've got," he called to Ronald and Noel when Lysander announced the teams, letting out a laugh as Chloë scooped up the quaffle first and taking after her once he was in the air.

 

[Lysander Summers]

Lysander accelerated after a bludger, trying to maintain speed with it and find someone on the opposing side to hit.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma grinned as practice started. She started chasing the same bludger Lysander was going after, hoping to hit it first.

 

[Nikko Blackwood]

Nikko was looking forward to practice and didn't waste any time before taking up his spot in front of the hoop. They had been split into teams like usual and knew he would be busy going against Noel and Sully. But he at least would have some time to get warmed up as Chloe grabbed the quaffle first.

 

[Flynn North-McGowan]

Flynn continued to fly around in search of the snitch, hoping that it would make an apperance.

 

[Chloe Thompson]

With things being two against one Chloë tried to be quick as she headed for Ronald’s hoops. Perhaps a bit too quick though since her shot was sloppy and could easily be blocked.

 

[Isaiah Thompson]

Isaiah watched as the two older beaters headed for the same bludger before focussing on looking for the second one.

 

[Lysander Summers]

Lysander leaned forward, attempting to smack the bludger away, but struggled to get a clear shot past Emma.

 

[Solomon Tofilau]

Sully beamed as Ronald managed to stop Chloë's first attempt on goal, giving him a thumbs up before scooping up the quaffle to head back down the pitch, keeping an eye out for Noel if he needed to pass.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma grinned as she finally managed to hit the bludger away from Lysander. Though it didn't hit Flynn as she had intended. Instead it sailed right past him and hit Sully instead.

@Solomon Tofilau

 

[Solomon Tofilau]

Sully checked over his shoulder to look for Noel just in time to see the bludger heading his way. He managed to turn his shoulder into it to avoid taking it to the head but it still stung, spinning him off course. "Emma, why," he groaned. If he'd been still sleepy before, he was awake now. Massaging his shoulder, Sully righted himself on his broom, keeping a grip on the bludger to head towards Nikko again.

 

[Nikko Blackwood]

Nikko frowned as Ronald blocked Chloe's shot and he knew it was his turn to look alive. He watched as Sully grabbed the quaffle and headed towards him. He winced as the bother boy took a pretty ugly bludger hit and he hoped that would throw Sully off enough that he'd have a better chance to block.

 

[Flynn North-McGowan]

There was still no sign of the snitch but Flynn simply kept looking as he flew a little higher.

 

[Chloe Thompson]

Chloë shot after Sully when he caught the quaffle after her own failed attempt, trying to make it more difficult for him to possibly pass to Noel. She grimaced when he got hit by a bludger yet wasn’t surprised when he managed to push on rather quickly after.

 

[Isaiah Thompson]

Isaiah chased after the bludger that had just hit one of the other players, managing to give it a whack himself. He had aimed it at Elara but the bludger seemed to have a mind of its own and ended up slamming into @Noel Waldgrave instead.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma grimaced at Sully. "Sorry!" She called, quickly flying off to pursue the other bludger instead.

 

[Lysander Summers]

Lysander snapped his fingers when Emma managed to swoop in and steal the bludger from him, though his disappointment was short-lived when he realised she'd hit her own teammate. That was a score for Scarlet in his books. He chased after Emma, who'd seen another bludger, but this time managed to get ahead and whacked it back towards her.
@Emma van Houten

 

[Solomon Tofilau]

Sully shoulder was still aching and he checked for Noel to see if he could pass just in time to see Noel take a bludger too. "Great," he muttered, turning back to Nikko and ducking quickly to the side, hoping to throw him off. He grinned as he managed to squeeze the quaffle in on the right hand side with his feint, moving to fist pump in celebration and then hissing and the movement made his shoulder hurt.

 

[Nikko Blackwood]

Bludgers seemed to be flying all over the place and Nikko was glad that he was out of the way from most of the action but that didn't mean there was no chance one would go wild and hit him anyways. He must have been distracted enough that he missed blocking Sully's shot. He tossed the quaffle back into the game and got ready to do it all over again.

 

[Flynn North-McGowan]

Flynn flew a little closer to the hoops as he continued his search.

 

[Ronald Lazarao]

Ronald fresh to his duty at inner eye when he have received note for the practice for the final watch, so he going now to the pitch, when Ronald heard that he is in the gold team he fly away to the south pole and manage to guard his hopes at 1st attempt he blocked the Chloe tries to score on their hoops and now he waiting to the scarlet team to going on their hoops and Ronald want to warm up more to the final match.
