Zhenya watched as two of her team mates went down. She was sure there was something the matter with Angel… she was hobbling! And Zander took a nice ball to his gut. Ouch. "GOOD SAVE!" she yelled towards him. She set off towards another ball, she didn't know if it was the first or second one, and went to kick it. But her leg connected with air, and she fell backwards. OOFH! The darn ball was just sitting there next to her, and she slowly made her way back to a standing position and gave it a little kick. Maybe she shouldn't have put all her force into trying to catapult the ball. |
*passes ball along* O_______O Ouch, that had to hurt. "SORRY, ZANDER!" She felt bad for hurting her friend even though it hadn't been intentional. Balls to the guts could really hurt and she knew this from experience playing goal keeper. He would live though, and probably be okay within the next few minutes. The ball back in play, she saw the Slytherin girl (Zhenya) go after it but fall on her butt instead. Wincing, she was going to ask her if she was okay but she was standing again and giving the ball a small kick. Going after it, Lux sent it along hoping that one of her team mates would catch it and send it towards Zander...maybe not hurting him this time? |
Long shot from distance Angel was totally hurting now... her leg was hurting, her arm was hurting but her competitive side was coming in. She saw Lux kick the ball and well she wanted it... she hobbled after the ball and then she decided to see if she could score from this far out it had been done before right. Angel put the ball onto her left leg and then she started to play keepy-upy for a few seconds before she hit it in the air and when it came down she hit it with a thud... seriously she had no idea she could kick so hard... but well she was loving this game. |
Adi watched all the action while he jogged around ready to help defend. Tobias saved a goal as the ball had gotten past him and the other defenders. AWESOME! Then it was Zander's turn to save a goal. BUMMER. Ah well. Back to the game! More passes between Puffs/Claws and Griffs/Slytherins. Angel was back in possession...man! What a kick! Adi was surprised that for such a girly girl she wasn't afraid to kick the ball sooooo hard. Adi watched as the ball landed away from him. Would a Puff/Claw get to it? |
YESS! AND TOBY HAD SAAAVED THE Soon, though--they were headed towards enemy TERRITORY and she was SOO badly wanting to try to make it in, but of course, she didn't have an open anywhere! And Zander SAVED the ball from a NICE shot from Lux--wow! GOOD JOB! But they didn't score! Oh well. Eden watched as one of the other team's stronger players (Angel) KIIIIICKED the ball like--almost ALL the way to Toby--Eden had to get in there time-- SHE DIDN'T WANNA' LOSE BECAUSE THEY HAD WORKED SOOOOO HARD. Sooo she ran--pellmell--towards the opposite end of the field and she did her BEST to get to the ball before someone from the opposing team could--ACK! And she gave it a right hard KICK in the other direction, hoping someone from her own team would catch up to it--and not let the Slytherdors get it! |
*gets Lux's kicked ball, goal attempt* A second ball? NOW it was starting to seem more like Quidditch but still disappointing that neither ball was likely to attack you...unless you magick it to--which would totally have been allowed because Hadley had magicked the water balloons earlier and had some reason or another behind it. This would happen, if Lex could reach for her wand without the Professor seeing, ahem. For now though, Lex watched the second ball go into play as Zander took one to the gut. Ouch, though it probably didn't hurt as much she was sure. Had the kid ever felt a bludger? Now there was an ouch, a major one. She might have gone for the closer ball, the one Angel had kicked but then the Ravenclaw intercepted it and Lex was left with no choice but to bolt after the one kicked by the Hufflepuff girl, Lux. The Gryffindor headed straight for the ball before anyone else could claim it then turned to face the happy Hufflepuff down field. Skillfully, she meandered through the lot of them until she felt she was close enough. Time for another shot at this scoring thing she supposed. Merlin knew it was harder than it looked. Once again she kicked hard and watched the ball fly, not bothering to turn to see who'd caught the second ball further down the field. |
Stopping Eden and a long shot from distance Angel saw the Ravenclaw kick the ball and she was just in the right positition... she used her foot to juggle the ball before she decided to do an over head scissor kick, she totally wanted to see what was going on with the ball it was a right scissor kick she did. *thud* Angel landed hard on the floor, she decided she would just stay down on the floor because her back was hurting her after the landing and she was totally out of breath... this was totally a fun game. |
Giving into concern The game progressed as the ball was passed back and forth between the two teams on the field. The situation getting even more complicated as Professor Nairne added a second ball into the mix. Now there were two things to keep an eye on as it trailed from foot to foot with the occasional moment airborne as goals were attempted and blocked. Zander had made the latest catch but by the look of the boy, it must have felt almost like he had been hit by a bludger in the stomach. Ouch. Speaking of pain, Angel didn't seem to be doing all to well. Sure she was still kicking butt with her moves but she appeared to be slowly despite her assurances to her team and classmates alike that she was okay. Benny was doing his best to keep himself from going over to her to see if she really was as he played his position. He would certainly be doing so once the game was over but could or should he be the overprotective boyfriend while in class. While he should be helping his teammates play along with the action, defending the lionsnake goal. However when she finally went down that was it. The fourth year took the chance and allowed his defense movements to take him closer to the second year. "Angel..." he said, concern in his voice as he paused over her still alert to his surroundings. "You really okay?" Benny asked holding back worry as best he could. |
saving angel's shot, but LETTING IN Lex's, and kicking the balls back into the fray TWO FOOTBALLS. ON THE PITCH. FOOTBALLS. TWO OF THEM. Toby's brain was doing some real OVERTIME trying to keep up with two of those things. He kept going back and forth and back and forth and squinting and bouncing and sometimes he would briefly lose one and gaaaaahhhhhh. He did not have the correct brain wiring for focusing on more than one thing at a time. And then it happened, all at once. Lex was running at him again dribbling another ball, and winding up to take a shot at goal. She kicked it, and Toby was SO READY, but at the same time another ball was sent his way from way down the pitch. Tobias two footballs flying straight at his goal, and needed to make a decision. Except he didn't. He didn't think at all. Just DOVE for one of them and hoped that his body might stop the other. Tobias SNATCHED the football that had been kicked at him from that younger Gryffindor out of the air, and sort of flailed his foot around to try and clear the other one, Lex's shot, with a kick. And his foot DID clip it, but still the football ended up passing him. Well, one out of two wasn't bad. Sorry Beagles. Boy. That dive had sort of hurt thought. Tobias kept his face totally straight and tried not to wince as he got up, checking his arms for any grazes from hitting the deck that hard. But nope, all good, so he kicked the ball that he'd caught out into the throng of students again, then retrieved the other and sent that one out too. "Doing great, guys!" he beamed out at the players on BOTH teams, 'cause even though this was tricksy and he'd just let a goal in, THIS WAS STILL FUN. |
Diving Header shot Angel got up and rubbed her back. "I'm fine..." Angel smiled as she looked at Benny and then she saw that Toby had just thrown a ball into the air... oh perfect this was the best time to show everyone her skills. Angel ran towards the ball and then she dived head first and connected with the ball... seriously she needed to remember the landing because she was starting to hurt a bit... normally football was played on grass why hadn't the professor charmed the place so she was landing on grass. Angel was hoping that the ball would go in because that would make all the pain she was getting worth it... she totally wanted to score a goal today. |
Taking things into his own hand. Quote:
She was getting up...that was good...Right? And there Angel was again trying to assure him that she was alright. However then she went to make another play and Benny had to admit she scared him by her actions. Forget trying not to seem overprotective. He was...no ifs ands or butts. No question. And after she landed roughly, he jogged over to her new location. There was enthusiastic playing or a support and there was risking dangerous injury. Even when he played as beater or the others worked with the quaffle, one didn't rush into it for any reason. "Nuh uh...you're not..." Ben protested. And if she had been previously, he wasn't sure how much longer she would remain. But she was remaining stubborn about it. So he was going to step in. The fourth year came up beside her and used his taller stature and upper strength to lift her up in his arms. "I think its time you took a break," he said, proceeding to carry her towards the end of the field. |
*la la la is still feeling paaaain but also just waiting in the goal* The Gryffindor stood guarding the goal, still clutching his stomach after that blow. Merlin, he was still sore. Anyways, he got a little distracted by his own goal keeping with all the action going on, in the other half of the field! GOOOOOAAAAAAL?!? He jumped up and CHEERED in celebration-- Ow. It hurt to scream. On second thought, he'd just silently cheer from over here, you know? Give the girl a thumbs up and all. There'd be other chances to congratulate the team on their first goal? Uhum anyways. Eden had one of the balls now and she was heading this way?? O______O |
Taking a shot Awwww man. They had been scored on. Jasmine couldn't blame Toby though because two ball at once..... When he sent both balls out of the goal area, she kept her eyes on one. They could do the same thing, right? Fire two shots at the goalie at the same time. That would be really hard to stop. Jasmine was on it. She got a foot on the ball and tried to push it forward. She had a plan, but unfortunately the other team wasn't down with it. Ball number two was headed in the other direction so Jasmine tried to keep control of her ball. Moving around, she tried to get closer Zander's goal. Figuring that time had to be running out, Jasmine decided to go for Plan B. Looking for an opening, she finally found it. Take the shot or pass to a teammate? With only a second to decide, she faked the pass and took the shot. She fired the ball toward the corner of the goal, hoping that Zander wouldn't get to it in time. |
TWO BALLS! Eeep! Adi was in possession of neither. Which was a good thing because he would have lost it anyway because of what he had currently been distracted by. Benny carrying Angel off of the field... in his arms. Adi sniggered. Who would have thought that Benny would do thaaat. Well, not showing concern for Angel but actually carrying off the field in full view of ALL their classmates. Gutsy. His bestie was getting gutsy. He must remember to tease the other boy later. Hehe. The Puffer wondered if Angel was hurt very badly. He'd have to check on her later. But right now he had better get back into the game. Ball, where you at? A ball had shot past Tobias but that was nothing. It happened and his fellow Puff was doing a great job. It looked like Eden and Jasmine were taking care of the balls now, yeah? Here's to hoping at least one of them scored. |
*misses Jasmine's shot* *kicks ball back into play after* .... Uh. Was this actually happening? The Gryffindor had to blink a couple of times just to make sure. Nope. Ravenclaw really did have possession of BOTH balls. Uhhhhhhh!! There was no way head be able to block both of them. 'Specially since he was still kind of doubled over after the first save. He tried watching both girls approach. Jasmine was starting to get even closer and was she going to pass?? WAIT NO, she was getting ready to kick pretty hard. Why in Merlin's name was she getting ready to kick the ball so-- O__________________O INCOMING!!! The Gryffindor ran towards where he thought the ball was going, but uhh ohhh, it went straight over his head and into the net. Oops. Sorry Slytherdor? Remembering that Sophie's 'Toberson' had kicked the ball back into play after Lex's shot, Zander walked out of the goal and did the same. Hoping that one of his teammates would get a hold of it. |
*taking possession of only one of the balls* Eden watched as a LOT of things happened--so Toby SAVED one ball--and missed the other-well one out of two AIN'T BAD! Hehe. She smiiiiled all big at him and gave him a thumbs up for his INCREDIBLY hard work and ran after the ball--or well, both of them--and AAHH they made BOTH goals---? Eden wasn't sure if she saw that right--BUUUUT if they did, well good for them. "You're going GREAT ZANDER!" she yelled at him, smiling and waving because even though he was...the enemy...HE WAS A FRIEND. She took possession of one of the balls he had kicked back into play and was doing her best to keep it at THIS side of the...field? It wasn't really a field...the...room. She would just say 'room.' She also felt a bit bad trying to score again so soon after he JUST let in some goals--so she bit her lip and passed it along to another Beagle--hopefully-- Hopefully. Maybe she wasn't ruthless enough for sports? |
*Catching Eden's pass and attempting to score* As Kace was about to score he saw the girl Angel was it? She was running towards him and he raised his eyebrows he was impressed with her bravery. She saved the ball with a head butt and he saw her fall. O___O...... Bloody merlin! Was she alright? Then he heard her saying she was fine. She took quite a fall for the team and he gave her credit for it. I guess Zander didn't have to do any saving this time. He will get his chance soon enough. Then he heard the Professor throwing in a second ball!? Whattttt!? He could barely keep track of one on the field with all this commotion let along two. He was getting prepared and he saw Lux get ahold of one ball and saw her score. Come on let it go in! He saw Zander catching it and he closed his eyes because he could feel the pain for him. Oooohhh he hoped his lion friend was alright. Through all the commotion he saw Eden kick the ball and he made an attempt to catch it. He could do this, he ran and opened his arms and caught it very nicely. He grinned and was glad all the flag football was accounting for something. He saw Zander and nodded and kicked the ball towards their goal post. He wondered if it was gonna go in. |
im losing track a little? but *SAVES angel's shot and sends back into play* (sorryyy) One second Toby was kicking one of the balls out, and then immediately after he found it was being slammed straight back towards him by that one Gryffindor girl. Via her head. Not bad. But, as he had his attention fully on the matter at hand, Toby had very little trouble making the leap and grabbing it from the air before it could reach the goal. He'd been trying to work out why catching this thing felt so strange before remembering that the quaffle in Quidditch had gripping charms on it, and this football obviously did not. It was strange, going back to experiencing muggle things all over again having been submeged in the wizarding culture. Giving an apologetic smile to the girl who was really getting into this game, Toby dropped the ball again and kicked it out towards where many of the others where gathered. "Incoming!" he yelled, just to sort of... make them aware of the other football. |
*misses Kace's shot because welp* So, so far the score was 1-1 right? That wasn't too bad. All he had to do now was, not let the goal in like last time. Ahem. But he had an excuse okay!! His gut was in paaaaain. If that was even a thing. Anyways, he was intently watching the ball that Eden had possession of before, hearing her call out to him. Quote:
He was a bit surprised 'cause you know she was on the other team, but either way the Gryffindor returned her wave and SMILED ALL BIG at her. Even though they were on opposing sides they could still be friends, right? That wasn't against the rules was it? Anyyyyyways. Back to the game. Kace had the ball now and he was O______________O Taking a shot. A shot in which, Zander sort of. Ugh. Missed. With a sad look on his face, the Gryffindor ran back into the goal to pick it up, before throwing it back into play. "I-uh-sorry guys!" Could they tell how embarrassed he was? Where was his mojo? WHERE DID IT GOOO? |
Zeke had been having a hard enough time keeping up with the game when there was ONE ball.... and now there were two. What even was this? Muggles didn't play with two balls!!!!!! ............. Huffing and puffing and dragging his feet, Zeke attempted to keep up with the game play. But... he wasn't very good at it. Not at all. In fact, he was certain that if Ashley could see him now, she'd be shaking her head with disappointment. Boo. Still, the little lion pumped his arms beside him as he made to run toward some of the action and decided to 'mark up on' a player... or something to that effect. Yeah hi. Don't pass to us. |
Adi caught Tobias's incoming ball with his feet. He kicked it around for a second or two as he looked for one of his teammates to pass it onto. There were Snakes and Lions everywhere though. Oh but there! A teammate and not some Slytherdors'. Adi gave the ball a kick, sending it in his teammate's direction. He hoped the ball would get to them. |
Angel was thinking about what to do next and who she needed to help next when. "REF!! REF!!! I've been tackled." Angel wasn't happy with whoever it was, seriously they had picked her up... surely that was a straight red card offense right. Angel then realised it was her boyfriend. "I said I was alright." Angel pouted but now that she wasn't running around as much her legs, arms pretty much every part of her body was hurting like crazy. |
Huh....what? Angel was calling for ref whatever that was and talking about tackling which very much confused him. More stuff he needed better knowledge of if he was to understand the sport they were learning. The game still very much going on around them not that Benny cared all that much. However it was crystal clear that she wasn't liking what he was doing at all, taking her off the field in the middle of the game. Too late for that since he had the advantage. Though he suspected he might get more than enough flack for it after. "Sure that's not the adrenaline talking...?" he mused as she fought with him about being alright. The fourth year finally setting her back down on the ground. "I may not know football but if you had been hit that much in quidditch you'd be out cold." And that wasn't just bludgers...the quaffles could hurt too at the right speed or if it had been a repetitive injury. |
class dismissed and then to Benny/Angel after =) So perhaps she had allowed the students to take it too far, especially when she spotted one of the second year "Hope you all learned something and had a bit of fun too and I'll see you at the feast! Have a great Summer everyone!" Upon finishing she strode over towards Benny and Angel. "Miss Valentine, are you alright? And don't even think about lying to me." |
Aw man! Time was up already? Bummer. But yay for a Beagles win at the game. "Great job, guys," Adi called to his teammates. The ones closest to him should hear. Anyway... he made his way over to Angel, full of concern. He was just in time to hear Professor Hadley's question. Adi hovered close by waiting for Angel's response and not wanting to butt in. Professor Head of House may think he was being rude. But yes, no lying, Angelfish. |
Quick post before work. Angel was just staring at Benny as he put her down, she had no idea if it was the adrenaline talking or not but now she wasn't moving around as much she was totally starting to hurt like crazy, boy did she have bruising or something because her legs were killing her. "I don't think..." Angel started to say but then the Professor came and asked the same question and made her say that she wouldn't lie to her... she couldn't help but burst into tears because well now the adrenaline was wearing off she was sure she wasn't as fine as she thought she was. "Professor my legs do hurt a bit." Angel lied, her legs were hurting a lot and when she looked at them she saw they were black and blue with bruises. Angel then saw Adi come over... could she go and sit down somewhere, pretty...please? |
A load of croc... that's what all of this was. He'd had enough of running, and 'playing' and he hadn't learned anything at all in this whole process. Nothing. NOTHING. What was the aim? What WERE they supposed to learn? Because he was very confident that he knew he didn't know how to run, kick or stop a ball before all this happened, he didn't need the confirmation. Still, he WAS happy that Gryffindor won, THAT was worth it at least, even if his pain and discomfort was something he'd rather forget. Zeke did the sportsmanly thing and shook hands with his competitors and co-competitors, uttering a "Good game," here and there. Once he gathered his things, he offered Professor Nairne a small smile and a wave, "Bye Professor," and departed the classroom. Yeah, he was dropping Muggle Studies. Emily was right, he wouldn't be needing it for anything.... |
Her protesting her removal from the field hardly made much difference after all as Professor Hadley-Nairne ended the class shortly after. Benny was somewhat disappointed to see that the Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw team had won the came but in a twist of fate Gryffindor won the day. Yay Lions. The added points would just top of their lead but he was proud of the effort their house had done in the class regardless. This way technically all four friends were on the winning team. Then the professor and Adi made their way over to them clearly both concerned even if the woman was the only one asking. Benny wasn't going to put words in her mouth but he would if she wasn't honest. Which thankfully she was, her legs the source of her pain according to her answer. Was that really all? |
Zhenya was glad the lesson was over. She was huffing and puffing, and just wanted to change our of her sweaty clothes. Was this what muggles did for fun? She listened to Professor Nairne speak about the winners. She clapped to the winners; the RavenPuffs, and to Gryffindor for winning for team participation, but she was disappointed that the snakes came last for participation. Buuuuut, there's only so much one can do when it comes to team work. All she could do was clap for the winners and tell herself it was only a game. |
As Kace was keeping an eye on the footballs he realized the class was over. Woww that was quite fast. He was having so much fun! He already knew the rules to football so he didn't really learning anything he didn't already know. He was happy their team won and he smirked in victory. He heard how the points were distributed and it seemed fair to him. He nodded and clapped for everyone. Everyone did a really great job on the football game. He was now itching to go back home and play some football with his cousins back in Kansas and Australia. |
