━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ november 2025
IN AN ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE their scores and potentially beat Slytherin for the next match Ravenclaw would have against them, Ravenclaw's Quidditch Captain had decided to be incredibly harsh on the team, making them practice more than usual and for an extended period of time. Zen didn't mind it entirely especially since the changes she had faced over the summer and the start of Seventh year had created a sort of competitive streak within the Novell, as well as other aspects she didn't know how to pinpoint exactly.
Despite almost being late to the start of practice because of a certain owl from a certain someone, Zen played well regardless. Slowly returning to the ground after practicing new Chaser techniques, Zen felt a soft clap against her back as the Captain praised her for doing well. The half-vampire was used to academic praise, but not praise like this. "Thanks." She replied, managing a soft smile up at them before turning, noticing the smaller group that was making their way to the Pitch.

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now It was chilly outside, but nothing she couldn’t handle. Her friend had always suggested thicker gloves when it came to the cold, which typically affected her dexterity. Addy was still on the smaller side, which included her hands as well, but when second-year had come around, the only open positions had been for Chaser rather than seeker or a beater. Then again, one might find it wise not to give the stubborn and competitive girl a bat to use during a match. Wendy had called for an additional practice, which Addy did not mind, though it only meant she had to shift her homework schedule, but she knew it would be worth it. Their upcoming match was against the Ravenclaws—not that it mattered, she wasn’t out there to lose.
They approached the pitch, and she spotted the familiar faces of her classmates on the opposing team. Her hopes for good practice were somewhat extinguished as she wondered if the pitch bookings had overlapped again. It was known to happen, though she wondered if it was done on purpose to spur competition as well. ”I hope they’re done with their practice…” She muttered as they walked even closer. An opposing chaser, Zen, was looking at them, and Addy could only look back, and before she knew it, they were within earshot of one another. ”You know, I think the Ravenclaw team needs the practice more than us, maybe we can let them have the Pitch tonight.” It was half she was confident in her own abilities but also, this was normal when teams went up against one another.

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ WITH THE SLYTHERIN HOUSE APPROACHING the Pitch, Zen's eyes narrowed taking on the different members of the team, and how she truly didn't know any of them, aside from the times the two houses had played against one another or whenever Zen watched their matches. It felt perfectly fine to Zen though, especially since all she cared about was working well with her team and winning as many matches as she could for the Ravenclaw house. With a member of the team speaking up, Zen snorted quietly, a brow raising in question to the girl's statement.
"You know..I've seen you play." She retorted, pressing her tongue against the roof of her mouth as she stepped closer, a sign that she was ready to start some conflict. "You're kind of shitty. Where did you learn?" Talking shit about other teams was common in almost all competitive aspects, but with Zen finally having her own back-bone to stand up against crap, stirring the pot herself was bound to happen.

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now There were several students on all the House Quidditch teams that were Ilvermorny transfers. Which usually wouldn’t have bothered Addy if it hadn’t taken away her chance at Quidditch Captain. But there wasn’t much that could be done except play her part on the team. Despite hating losing at anything she also knew the importance of playing along. Anything but that would only affect her image and reputation negatively. Addy recognized her from several of her classes. While the core classes tended to be larger, the elective courses were a smaller bunch and a mix of different year students.
She stepped forward, and Addy shifted her weight to her other foot but stood as tall as her small frame would allow. Her expression didn’t change. Addy was hardly offended by an opinion that was unsolicited and that she also didn’t care about. ”As if learning from you and your team would help anyone.” Addy’s eyes looked the girl up and down, and she remained unimpressed. ”We’d get more of a challenge out of Hufflepuff this year.”

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ ZENEVIEVA HAD LEARNED MOST OF her skills when she transferred to Hogwarts a few years back following the closure of Ilvermorny and coincidentally the death of her parents. Back then however, she felt rather shaky and uncertain with her actions, especially since her anxiousness and even her stutter held her back from speaking up to present any random ideas on how to improve their play-style, if she ever noticed something out of the line anyway.
At the Slytherin girls' response, Zen felt herself shrug. She wasn't the Captain anyway so whatever opinion she had about their play-style barely affected the Novell altogether. Noting at how she looked Zen up and down the Ravenclaw chuckled quietly before nudging the girl forward a little while she stepped back to her team. "Then let me challenge you then. Casual game. Right here...Right now." Zen wasn't the type to challenge anyone but considering how irritated she was from a small girls comments...She felt inclined to challenge her.

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now Addy didn’t flinch, her expression didn’t change, and she didn’t waver from her spot. Standing tall and proud as she always did due to her shorter height as the challenge was issued. Unfortunately, their entire team wasn’t present yet, but one could scrimmage without a whole team. Fortunately, most of Slytherin were veterans aside from the Ilvermorny students, but they played well enough. Besides, Addy had felt their Captain had been distracted as of late, and for something like this, she didn’t need her permission. The teams scrimmaged all the time, or players practiced together, much as she and her best friend had done over the years despite his position on the Hufflepuff team.
She paused a moment, considering her approach. ”Fine. An easy win is as good as practice anyway.” Addy glanced behind her where her teammates stood—for the most part they had been on the team a long time together. Graduations over the past few years had opened up spots filled by the American students, but Addy found that it all worked in its own way--even if she wasn’t Captain, as she would have liked. The team didn’t dismiss the idea or protest, Slytherins were a vast array of personalities but linked in their drive toward something (typically success), and Addy didn’t like to lose. ”Ready when you are.” She gave the Ravenclaw a look as though she was being inconvenienced.

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ THE WAY THE GIRL STOOD was enough for Zenevieva to only get...Slightly more annoyed. While the entire Slytherin team wasn't present, the Novell's eyes looked behind the girl, trying to piece together the strongest team mates and weed out the weak ones. Zen had watched enough games to notice who had a certain game-style pattern yet she wasn't too confident to note how Addilyn played.
Scoffing at the girls response, Zen turned to her team mates, quietly asking for their permission if it would be fine. Zen's own captain didn't mind, considering it was practice and a way to let out pent out anger after all. "Who said you'll win?" Zen cockily questioned, as she positioned herself on her broom, taking off into the air as she waited for her opponent. "Hurry up then!" She called out, smile working its way into a grin. The Seventh Year wasn't the best player when she first took up the Chaser role after transferring to Hogwarts, but with practice, she had definitely improved.

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now Addy’s grip on her broom handle tightened. She held onto it low since she wasn’t as tall as some of her counterparts. The gloves that Claire had gifted her on her birthday fit perfectly on her hands, like a second skin to help her as a Chaser. Zen kicked off into the air, calling out a taunt, and Addy’s eyes narrowed as she quickly did the same. The benefit of these overlapping times was that the equipment was already in the air—or at least a Quaffle available. Each team was short a few players, but they had their Keepers and their Seekers, the missing bodies were either Beaters or Chasers, but they would manage.
Addy looked back at her team as one dropped the equipment chest, kicking it open to release a bludger and the snitch. Slytherin was short a Chaser, but Addy felt confident nonetheless. The final players rose into the air, and Addy lobbed the Quaffle at Zen while everyone waited to begin. ”Here, I’ll let you start—Merlin knows you won’t have the Quaffle for very long.” Addy said with a smug expression. Her confidence in her abilities as a Chaser had never wavered despite the blow to her confidence at not being given leadership of the team, but she was defacto Captain for this scrimmage at least. At this, she leaned forward and prepared herself.

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ CHUCKLING QUIETLY AT ADDY'S CONFIDENCE, Zen smirked as her own teammates rose to the air alongside her. "Sure we won't." She called out in a laugh. Narrowing her eyes, Zen noticed that the Slytherin team was short a Chaser, while in Ravenclaw's case they were short a Beater - just for the day as the member was preoccupied with other things.
Lifting her ungloved hand to wipe at her nose, Zen sniffed before gripping tightly on her broom, commencing the start of the game as she hit the Quaffle in the direction of the Slytherin team. The other members of Ravenclaw dispersed to their positions, playing hard in defence while Zen's fellow Chaser aligned with her, ready to take on Addy and her team.

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now The Quaffle flew in the air, and Addy’s blue eyes locked onto her target. It was to their benefit that Ravenclaw only had one beater, but they were also short a Chaser. Addy pushed forward on her broom and caught the Quaffle but then paused, holding her hand up to her team to stay in place. ”Wait. I have a better idea.” Most of the Ravenclaw team had dispersed. ”Just you and me, no keepers and no beaters.”
Addy sat up tall on her broom, feeling the wind blowback the stray strands of hair on her face. “Showdowns” between Chasers or Beaters or even a Chaser and a Keeper were not uncommon. Much like releasing a Snitch on a slightly foggy day and letting the Seekers battle it out. ”I’ll start at my goalposts, and you start on yours.” Addy gripped her broom and flew to the goalposts behind her. Her teammates either opted to stay in the air and watch or fly down to watch from the stands, but she waited for Zen to take her starting position, and when she did, she flew forward toward the opposing goals.

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ AS ZEN FLEW UP ON HER broom, she looked over at her team the moment Addilyn added in a ridiculous request. She didn't mind a challenge, considering she had grown as a Chaser altogether - going from one of the worst the time she transferred to Hogwarts, to potentially one of the best in her year alone. Zen shrugged as a response, before looking over at her captain and other teammates, seeing their nods and hums of approval. "Fine by us!" The Novell called out, watching as her teammates settled. While they flew downwards on their brooms, the Novell listened to Addilyn's instructions, flying over to her goal post and waiting momentarily.
But the moment the half-vampire relaxed, the Slytherin was at it again, flying in the direction of the Ravenclaw's goals. The blonde couldn't help but smirk, letting out a quiet laugh to herself, being prepared for the moment. While she was indeed a Chaser, it didn't mean that Zen was unsure of the other roles - especially since she read and even practiced enough to have an overall understanding or even be considered an all-rounder. "Gonna score anytime soon?" She taunted, knowing that anything could happen from now.

lmao perfect! assuming the quaffles just back up in the air right? or does addy still have it? either way she can score the first goal!

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now The air sparked with their competitiveness, and for the first time this term, she’d felt freedom flying in the air and not worrying about the rest of the team. She noted one of the triplets in her house on her broom to the side. Bat in her hand as if she was read to mistake one of the Ravenclaws for a Bludger on Addy’s behalf. But while Addy liked to win, she knew the victory was best when following the rules set in place. And with these types of showdowns, it was imperative to let the one-on-one battle occur. Addy reached her goal posts, adjusted the gloves that perfectly fit her hands, and stared ahead before pushing her broom forward.
While she sped ahead, ignoring how the cold wind stung the edges of her eyes, Zen taunted her and watched her carefully as any Keeper would. There was some cross-training among team members and especially to fill in during practices. Addy flew toward one of the rings but focused the Quaffle to another ring. It flew effortlessly through the middle. ”Careful what you wish for.” Addy remarked as she smiled back at her teammates who were watching eagerly, though she didn’t let her gaze linger on as she flew back to guard her own goalposts.

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ ZEN KNEW IT WAS TOO early to taunt and draw a reaction out of her opponent because now her fist could fit entirely in her mouth from her sheer stupidity of speaking too soon. Addy had sped forward despite the change in the air and while the Novell knew she should of noticed it earlier rather than later, teasing her opponent had been the only thing on her mind. So when Addy essentially played Zen at her own game, having the Quaffle fly effortlessly through the middle - and leaving no time for Zen to catch it in time, the half-vampire let out a quiet tut, knowing she would have to hold her tongue back.
It was her time then, having the Quaffle and holding it close to her while she sped through the air, similarly to how Addy had done so. Except Zen knew she had to play the Slytherin at her own game, and that was the intention of it all. Zen slowed her movement in an attempt to lure Addy further out and when the timing was right, the Ravenclaw threw the Quaffle, scoring the point at the furthest ring.

It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now Addy was pleased with herself. It was her goal to always win and especially when challenged. But, she’d learned to not underestimate her opponent either. Similar scrimmages in her earlier years on the team had humbled her quite. But, it would still be a challenge. Addy was a skilled Chaser but as a Keeper was likely average at best—not that she’d ever admit that. The Ravenclaw sped toward her goalposts, and Addy’s hands gripped her broom a little bit tighter as her eyes focused intently on her opponent, but she didn’t speed entirely to the goal post.
Addy watched her, almost afraid to blink in case she missed a movement, and she leaned forward on her broom to give herself some space from the rings. But when she did, Zen pulled a maneuver, and as much as Addy reached for the Quaffle, her fingers didn’t reach. This was where her height was a disadvantage, hence her focus on playing a position that had focused on speed. Cheese would’ve been able to block that since he was so much taller, she thought to herself. Now in possession of the Quaffle, Addy’s jaw clenched before she took a breath and sped toward the posts once more. Addy didn’t plan to slow down. If anything, she flew a bit higher as she thought about something she had done in the last match against Gryffindor. She’d gained height to dodge a bludger but almost collided with Simon, and during her dive down, the Keeper had dived out of the way leaving the rings free to score. She would try that here.

━ stop. what the hell are you talkin' about? ━ CLENCHING HER FIST AND HOLDING it up high as she celebrated her score, Zen's victory was short-lived as the Ravenclaw focused on the match once more. She didn't want to admit but Addy was definitely a worthy opponent, but she was simply too cocky. She watched as Addy's speed fastened, heading towards the posts with a Quaffle in hand.
Tutting to herself, Zen sped the other way, towards the ring posts in order to defend them. Noticing as Addy flew higher, Zen's brow raised slightly, wondering what gaining height would do for the Slytherin. Sure, she was shorter than most players but Addy would need the strength to throw from such a distance.
