Remember when Marina said it was all just nuts? -- well that was clearly an understatement. Because there were flying keys, rogue quaffles, and snitches that she… could not see anymore. Honestly, it was a miracle she was still upright on her broom. It was also ... very different to how she played back home. Yes, there was also as much shouting involved but .... not necessarily as much frustration? at least ... not as much as being expressed by the older Slytherin she could see nearby.

REGARDLESS, she wasn’t about to just flail around uselessly herself. Not when the older students were watching. So when a quaffle came barreling straight toward the goalposts, Marina acted without thinking. She ducked low, yanked her broom into a sharp tilt, and using her own shoe, kicked one of the keys right into its path. The poor key went spinning, but it was just enough to knock the quaffle off-course, sending it bouncing away instead of sailing clean through the hoop.

Marina blinked at what she’d just done, heart racing, then shot a glance around to see if anyone had noticed. “Totally on purpose!” she shouted over the chaos, flashing a grin --- before tightening her grip and wobbling her broom back into position like she’d meant to do it all along.

Before she could really celebrate though, something else happened.

Calliope was falling??

Wide eyes and little stupid, Marina leaned forward, urging her broom into a desperate dive, hand stretched out like she could actually catch her. But nope, too late.
