[QUIDDITCH]: Slytherin – Game 2

The second game of the season! The weather is good, no wind, no clouds and the sun is shinning brightly. Perhaps too brightly?

The crowd begins to fill the stands as 14 enchanted dummies specially ordered by the HeadMaster take place in the air, 7 on each side of the field. You can see that each dummy supports a letter in their chest. ‘P’ for “Professional Level”, ‘S’ for “Student Level” and ‘A’ for “Amateur Level”.

For this game, skills were randomly sorted and the dummies for Chasers support “As”, Beaters support “Ps”, Keepers support “Ss” and Seekers support “Ss”.

Who will show up to take the place of the dummies? Who can guess the outcome?

***

-          Remember to always add your position in the beginning of the post.

-          Once you enter the field and announce your position the corresponding dummy will disappear. You DO NOT take the skill level of the dummy. Skill levels have been assigned to the dummies so you know how hard is to beat the opposing dummy or how helpful the dummy on you side will be. Your skills are your own and will be shown by your posts.

-          You can only make 1 post per day up to a maximum of 30 in total and a minimum of 4 posts in total.

You’ll be judged on the following aspects:

Number of posts – 30 pts*

Creativity – 50 pts

Skill shown/Manoeuvres – 50 pts

Knowledge of the game – 50 pts

Cooperation with the dummies/Facing the opposing dummies – 50 pts

The game will end on the 19^th of February or if someone catches the Snitch earlier than that.

Raistlin grabbed his broom eagerly and made way to the Quidditch Pitch. After winning the first match he was now even more determined to keep going and take the Cup home.

Stepping out into the field he could see the shape of the eerie dummies flying in the air above. The sun didn't' let him see their skill letters though.

"Chaser!" he shouted. As soon as he had finished, one of the dummies dissipated. Grabbing his broom, he placed himself on top of it and kicked the ground with his left foot.

He had barely reached the dummies when a whooshing sound denounced the approach of a Bludger. He instinctively swerved to the right and luckily that was enough to avoid it.

"What the hell..." he said turning around to see a dummy holding a bat and the letter P on its chest. Great, I don't even like to be a Chaser but decide to be one when there are Professional Beaters lurking around.

Good news were that the Chasers were of Amateur level, which meant that if he could dodge the Bludgers for long enough he might have a shot at scoring some goals.

Seeing the Quaffle being released into the air, Raistlin grabbed the handle of his broom and shoot up towards it. A nicely placed elbow allowed him to keep a chaser dummy away while he grabbed the wooden ball.

With a smirk on this face and the Quaffle secured under his arm he started going towards the opposing team's goal posts. His glee was short lived. Another whooshing sound let him know those Beaters meant business. Even though he could see the Bludger approaching, he didn't have much experience being a Chaser and between holding to the Quaffle and being hit by a Bludger he decided it was too early in the game to break any ones, so he dropped the ball in order to escape.

"Maybe this won't be as much fun as I expected..."

The opposing team's Chaser Dummies grabbed the Quaffle that Raistlin had just dropped and sped towards the Slytherin Dummy Keeper. However, Slytherin's Dummy Beaters were not having it and in a show of mastery they both hit Bludgers at the same time toward the Chaser formation.

One of the Dummy Chasers actually got hit in the left arm that shattered into pieces. Raistlin waited for the arm to reshape itself, which only took a few seconds. How I wished what was broken could stay broken!

The Quaffle was released again and one of his fellow Chasers managed to grab it. Raistlin and the third Slytherin Chaser dashed forward. When they were reaching the scoring area, Raistlin took the Quaffle and started going up. He wanted to fool the other Chasers into following him and sure thing they did.

When they were about reach him, Raistlin threw the Quaffle down to one of his team's Chasers who was waiting down below. The Dummy managed to grab the Quaffle, making for a perfect Porskoff Ploy move. To make things even better the Dummy managed to caught the Dummy Keeper off-guard and score!

"Whoop, whoop!" Raistlin cheered.
