It only took me a few seconds to get dressed.
Leaving my wand in my locker, I retrieved my broomstick and joined the rest of my team at the entrance of the field. The roster looked something like this.
[Quidditch team
Keeper: Chloe Thompson
Chaser: Robert Wales
Chaser: Roger Davies
Chaser: May White
Beater: Charles Bell
Beater: Simon Gray
Seeker: Samantha Baker]
Robert started us off with some words, "Alright people remember what we practiced. Hufflepuff isn't someone we can take lightly. Last year they were able to make it to second place, but not to worry, this year we have a secret weapon," he punctuated by looking straight in my direction. I received some playful shoving by the others. "Bell, you have the best eyes in the team, your second job will be to keep an eye peeled for the Snitch and block their Seeker from getting it first. Once I decided we scored enough points, direct Sam to where it is alright?"
"Yes."
"Good lad. As for the rest of you, good luck."
With that we all mounted our brooms and flew down to the center of the Quidditch Pitch.
Staring at the Hufflepuff team, I spotted a familiar face. It seems Cedric Diggory had managed to become the Hufflepuff Seeker this year.
After a handshake from both Captains and a few words from Madam Hooch, the whistle was blown, and we all took off to the skies.
The Quaffle was thrown in the air and everyone burst into speed.
The opposing Chaser managed to beat Roger by a second and secure the ball.
As everyone raced after the Quaffle I tightened my grip on my broom and found my first target.
With my superior dexterity I was able to take advantage of the Nimbus' speed and beat the Bludger that was heading towards one of our Chasers.
[Blunt Weapon Mastery] (Passive) LV6 EXP: 33.49%
[Description: Allows user to freely handle blunt weapons.
Effect: Increase 30% attack damage with blunt weapons.
Effect: Increase 10% attack speed with blunt weapons.]
Smashing my bat into the flying cannon ball I sent it in the direction of their Chaser. I didn't hold back on my strength in the least as the Bludger traveled at nearly 150 MPH before impacting on their side just as they raised their arm to throw the ball at the goal posts. Despite wearing armor designed to lessen the force of the blow, it was still powerful enough to hurl them right off their broom.
Robert caught the ball as it was falling and raced to the other side of the field closely followed by the others.
The Hufflepuff Chaser looked to be in great pain, clutching at his side, and gasping for air.
Unfortunately for him, substitutes weren't allowed during games, no matter how injured he got.
Things were going well, and in a few minutes we were able to take the lead.
"Ravenclaw scored again! The score is currently Ravenclaw-40, Hufflepuff 10!" the announcer shouted.
The Hufflepuff Captain called for a timeout.
As we took a few minutes to recover Robert addressed the team. "Alright, good job team. We're in the lead right now. Bell, have you found the Snitch yet?"
"I have my eyes on it as we speak," I told him.
"That's what I like to hear. Don't lose track of it. Sam, I need you to hold off on going after it until we score a few more points. Charles will give you the signal to go after it but until then you should work on getting in the way of anyone looking to score against us. Chloe, figuratively remember, don't let anyone score if you can help it. Simon, don't be afraid of really getting in there, send some of those bludger at their Keeper. Roger, May, V formation. Now, let's really show them what Ravenclaw is made of!"
Having the fastest broom meant I was all over the place, offering assistance to anyone that looked like they needed it.
"Red Fox!" May shouted as she flew straight at me, closely followed by two Chaser from the opposing team.
I nodded as I flew toward her.
As the distance between us was rapidly closing I tilted the handle of my broom downward and made a sudden V turn underneath her, shooting up vertically behind her. May was momentarily hidden from view as my cape was fully opened. The two however were not easily flustered as they continued to chase after her.
Continuing my ascend, I climb up higher before diving straight down again slowly picking up speed.
My destination was the opponents' goal kept closely followed by Robert, who now had the Quaffle.
Spotting my fellow Beater, I called out the play, "Red Fox!"
He nodded and flew out towards a passing Bludger.
When we were only a few dozen feet away from the posts I began to zig-zag, while Robert did the same, in order to confuse the Keeper.
I took a sharp left, just as Robert aimed to throw it toward the highest hoop. The Keeper however was ready as they moved in to catch the ball. That however was also part of the plan as Simon hit the Bludger my way, where I then redirected it at the Keeper.
They were so focused on the Quaffle that they didn't even notice the Bludger coming until it hit them right on the side of the head, sending him on a one-way ticket to dreamland.
"Ravenclaw Scores!"
As they fell to the ground, I gave Simon a passing high-five for the excellent timing.
----------
Daphne:-
"Holy crap, Charles is absolutely brutal," Tracy exclaimed from her spot among the Slytherin students.
The blonde Heiress had to agree with that assessment as she watched the usually friendly Ravenclaw absolutely destroy anyone that got in his way.
His shots were powerful enough to send other Beaters a few feet back even when they managed to successfully block them.
Armed with the fastest broom on the field, and he was a force to be reckoned with.
Everyone around her winced before laughing as Charles sent a Bludger at the tail end of a Hufflepuff Chaser causing them to spin out of control until they slammed into one of the towers.
Biting her nail, Daphne began to look worried, "Should we really be laughing right now? Don't forget that we'll be facing them next."
That quieted everyone fast.
