Irina blew out forced air from her cheeks in slight frustration. They'd been in the air for a bit now and this was going nowhere, but she would be damned if Hufflepuff would score first. Naturally this was just a pickup game, and Irina wasn't even on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. But she'd have to get the Quaffle back from Jamie. She had to give her friend props though, she was clearly showing why she had made Captain over anyone else. Keeping care for her possibly broken fingers, Irina swung the incoming Bludger towards her sister Ripley, who was just centimeters from catching the Quaffle.

“I'll check your arm once we're on the ground!” Tania called to Irina. She didn't think that the Bludger had broken anything, especially given her aim with the Bludger that had managed to hit the Quaffle.
Jayden took up the Quaffle, then he moved to pass it to Roxy. It wasn't successful, though, because Jamie was able to grab it back.
Based on Jamie's movements, Tania was sure that she was trying to avoid a Bludger hit. Without the Snitch in play, it seemed much more of a challenge than usual for the Chasers to avoid getting hit. Either that, or she was really off her game. Watching as Jamie made eye contact with Ripley, Tania kept her eyes on the Bludger.
Irina hit it before she could reach it. She was clearly aiming towards Ripley. Tania held her breath. Fortunately, it missed, although it looked like the damage she had done to Irina was worse than first thought. Still, if Ripley could manage to score a point for their side, that would put them at an advantage.
With the Bludger coming towards her, Tania seized the opportunity to zoom ahead in its direction and slam it towards Roxy. “Focus on the Quaffle!” she called to Ripley. “I've got it!” If she could keep either her or Jayden from getting to the Quaffle, then maybe Hufflepuff stood a chance.

she knew it was part of the game but she was starting to think there was a target on her back from irina. it didn't bother her really, if having bludgers hit in her direction bothered her she wouldn't play the game but things had felt a little disconnected from her family the last few weeks and she wondered if everything with her brother had place a small inkling of certainty in her mind that irina and tania felt the same way about her as their brother did. she shook those thoughts out of her head again as the bludger missed her and she managed to grab the quaffle from the air and she tucked it under her arm. leaning forward she flew toward the goals, gripping the quaffle carefully she launched it toward the goal, grinning when it went through and the first goal of the game was scored.
-- heads. the quaffle went through the goal.

Irina couldn't help but curse as Hufflepuff scored the first goal; she was glad of course that Ripley dodged the Bludger, which had been the opposite in her nightmare the other week, but being competitive and a Krum to boot meant Rina had wanted the first goal to belong to Gryffindor. "Oi! Maybe I do have to join your team to help you lot out," she called to Jayden and Roxy, mostly teasing. But the fire in her blood was running hot; the three of them simply could not allow the badgers to score again. As the Bludger pelted towards her, Irina swung her bat, knocking the Bludger into the Quaffle directly to Jayden. "Catch!" she called. @henry @roxanne @jamie @ripley @tatiana called heads, it was heads, Jayden catches the Quaffle

he couldn't say he was thrilled that hufflepuff had scored the first goal but it was only the first and it wasn't how the whole game was going to go. plus it was fun, while it was still a game it was still supposed to be fun. "Oi! Maybe I do have to join your team to help you lot out," he laughed and shook his head slightly, lifting his hand to cup his mouth so his voice would carry further. "we're just trying to give you the chance to shine irina!" he teased as he turned his broom to get back into position for the next play. he watched the quaffle as she hit it. "Catch!" he fully intended to do that, he thought to himself as h flew forward and lifted his hands to catch the quaffle, tucking it under his arms when he caught it and he flew toward the other goals, waiting for roxy to get into a position where he could throw it to her.
no coin toss.

Tania couldn't allow the excitement of Ripley's having scored the first goal of the match to become a distraction from the fact that one point wasn't very much of a lead at all. She grinned at her sister and gave a quick thumbs-up to her, but then it was back to business.
The Quaffle had changed possession, partly because of Irina's doing. Maybe Irina wasn't joking when she suggested that she should join the Gryffindor team. She could hold her own on the pitch, and it seemed to Tania as though she knew it. Irina made the Bludger hit the Quaffle, which sent it to Jayden.
While he was focused on trying to pass the Quaffle to Roxy so that they could score, Tania knew that it was her job to make sure that that didn't happen. She sped off after the Bludger that Irina had hit. Irina might have been able to use it to Gryffindor's advantage, but, with herself at bat, Tania knew that it would be a different story.
She swooped down, reaching it and batting it higher into the air again before catching up to it. “Catch, Longbottom!” she teased, sending the Bludger back to him. This time, of course, the goal was that he would be hit and the Quaffle would be Hufflepuff's again.

Jamie watched with laser focus as everything went down, wanting to calm down a little when Ripley got the Quaffle in her hands but not able to. It was only when the Quaffle went through the goal post and the ball had switched possession to Gryffindor that Jamie's shoulder released a little. Hufflepuff was now up by ten points. They were only playing to fifty, which meant that Hufflepuff was twenty percent of the way to winning. Jamie wasn't allowed to rest for long, though, because Tania had sent a well-aimed Bludger towards Jayden, who had had the Quaffle in his hands. As soon as the Gryffindor boy released his hold form the impact, Jamie was flying underneath him, the scarlet sphere dropping neatly into their arms. They had hardly moved down the field since when Hufflepuff had scored their last goal, so it wasn't difficult for Jamie to cut her broom hard to the left and send herself whizzing towards the Hufflepuff team's goal post once again. Jamie didn't hesitate to hold the Quaffle in the palm of her hand for just a moment before sending it spiraling towards the center goal hoop.

They were down by two in a game to five. To say Roxy was not impressed would be a bit of an understatement - because she'd barely had her hand on the Quaffle. She picked up the Quaffle off of Jaime's goal, and with a glance to Jayden and a jerk of her chin, Roxy was off. They were half-way down the pitch before she threw the Quaffle at Jayden, hard and fast. @jamie @ripley @tatiana Irina Rose Krum@henry (heads, Jayden catches the Quaffle)

Irina swore out loud when Jamie's second goal went in; at least the blonde was proving why she had been named Captain of the team. The Gryffindor trio had to get their head in the game. Irina wished that they could swap off positions; she was itching to get her hands on the Quaffle and do some ducking and maneurvering herself, like her mother did. Since that was not how the game was being played today, Irina busied herself by flying around after the Bludger, ensuring her baby sister wouldn't get a chance to whack at it before she did.

The worst part about being the one to score a goal was that Jamie couldn’t possibly pick the Quaffle back up after the goal was complete. That honor went instead to Roxy, and Jamie watched the Gryffindor girl carefully, tailing Roxy by a couple of broom’s lengths so that she was close enough to intercept the Quaffle, but not too close as to cause a crash if the other girl were to stop her broom suddenly. Out of the corner of her eye, Jamie saw Irina flying closer to the Bludger. If she hadn’t been so focused on following the Quaffle’s path and trying to find the perfect time to pluck it out of Gryffindor’s possession, Jamie would have gestured for Tania to follow her sister and hit the antagonistic orb towards the Gryffindors so Jamie could snatch the Quaffle like she so desperately wanted. She was going to have to hope that Tania knew enough to do that on her own, though.

jayden stayed close to roxy while she had the quaffle. they needed to find their rhythm and they needed to find it fast. they were down two goals and they were only playing to five. he wanted to say it was because he always played seeker but he had been a chaser for a while before taking up the position of the one who went after the snitch. so he knew how to play both and it wasn't an excuse as to why he seemed to be lacking. he watched as roxy jerked her head and he leaned forward, reaching out to catch the quaffle she passed to him and he tucked it under his arm, curling forward over it slightly as he leaned forward and sped toward the gryffindor goals. he kept an eye on where tania was, aware that she was a good shot with a bludger and no doubt she wanted to keep the lead they had worked for. though if he had his way he was about to start to even the score. he got close enough to the goals to shoot and he threw the quaffle at the goals, grinning when he saw it score.
heads - the goal is scored.

Jamie watched in frustration as the Gryffindor team zipped down the field. What the hell was her Beater doing?! Nothing, apparently, because the Bludger wasn't doing anything to stop the progress of the other chasers. All Jamie could do was follow them and wait for a fumble, though a fumble never came. The best that Jamie could do was wait for Jayden to send the Quaffle for the goal hoops. She wasn't in the right position to try to bat it away, and she wasn't a Keeper, either, so even if she had been there she wouldn't have been successful. What Jamie was successful, in, was grabbing the Quaffle after it had gone through the goal hoop. It had taken a tricky dive and a sharp turn, but Jamie was determined to keep Hufflepuff in the lead. She couldn't do that single-handedly, though. Jamie didn't want to yell at her team, but she gave Tania a sharp glare as she flew towards her Beater. Maybe she could consider actually using her bat every once in a while. Jamie didn't give a shout or any sort of warning before passing to Ripley, trusting the other Chaser would recognize the signs that she was about to pass and catch the ball.

Irina watched intensely as Jayden made his way to the goal and whooped loudly when he scored successfully. At least the Gryffindors were on the board which was better than nothing. The look that Jamie gave her little sister though did not go unnoticed; as the game had gone on, Irina was beginning to feel this was less of a friendly pickup match than it was originally intended. The rumble of thunder up ahead brought her gaze upwards for a moment. She wondered how much longer their little game had before the skies opened up and rained out their game. Bringing her attention back to the match, Rina twirled the Beater bat and saw a Bludger streaking towards her. Knowing her sister, a competitive Quidditch player herself, would understand, Rina swung the bat and the Bludger pelted towards the red ball in Ripley's arms. @henry @roxanne @jamie @ripley @tatiana ooc: tails, it was tails, Quaffle is knocked from Rip's hands for free play

jayden saw the look on jamie's face as she flew away from the goals once she had the quaffle. so much for it being fun. he pulled up on his broom, flying higher than the rest of them as they all zoomed toward the hufflepuff goals. he kept his eyes on where roxy and irina were, the rumble of thunder above them rather ominous to the way the mood of the game was shifting. he watched as irina swang her bat, grinning a little as he made his move, flying down just as the quaffle was launched from ripley's hands and he grabbed it from the air, tucking it back against his chest as he started to fly back towards the gryffindor goals. things were starting to look up for their team and he was glad of it. they were starting to work as a team and it was paying off. he caught sight of roxy in his vision and he threw the ball to her, giving it to her so she could try and score another goal for them.
heads - the pass is succesful.

While Tania wasn't on top of her game as far as Beating went, Irina certainly was, and Jamie watched in horror as a Bludger went straight towards Ripley, causing the other girl to drop the newly-possessed Quaffle. Jayden swooped in to catch it, and Jamie sighed a little, once again twisting herself to be heading towards the opposite team's goal. She was going to start getting dizzy if the direction of play kept changing at this pace. She kept Jayden on a close tail, but just as she was about to grab the Quaffle that he had just passed, a fat rain drop fell in her eye. Jamie blinked rapidly to try to clear her vision, but by the time it did, the pass had already been completed. Jamie wished that she had worn her goggles, but it was too late now.
