Vander's hand closed around the snitch, and he tightened his grip on it before pulling out of the dive he'd been about to plunge into after it. When he was no longer reeling, he held it up and yelled, "Release it?" questioningly directed towards the captain. He could have been a condescending arsehole about it, he figured privately, but he could at least pretend to be a gracious winner. Seeing as his competition was a thirteen year old...

Sure enough the sixth year was right. Mira narrowly dodged a bludger from Tristan as the Chasers started the toss over again. Now seemed like a good time to teach the new first years a thing or two about bludgers. Looking for Caty Mira took a swing at one of the bludgers aiming it towards her.

Drat, he missed. It seemed to be a common occurrence with him; he swore he was just rusty from the long summer, and that he'd improve during practices for the game. Or at least, he kept telling himself that. Gunning to try and reach the bludger hurtling down on Caty, he hoped to redirect it at Devonte instead,who was in control of quaffle at the moment.
Finally, things were starting to move a bit more smoothly. For the most part, she kept to formations in order to keep a close eye on the players. The quaffle was being stolen back and forth and the bludgers were cracking in the skies like thunder, up above, she heard the voice of one of the seekers coming up with the golden tint of the snitch clasped in their hands. "Brilliant!" she congratulated quickly, but realizing who she was talking to, figured it had just fallen on deaf ears anyway. Damn purebloods and their damn pride. "Release it and keep at it; you can never have too much practice!" Nodding to herself, she put her head back into the game and skyrocketed down on Devonte to try and steal the ball.
With another deflect by Tristan Mira went to block Devonte. Seeing that Camila had stolen the quaffle she figured she'd be a good target to try and hit. Swinging she prayed she could protect him yet again and hit Camila.

Vander nodded and let go of the snitch, and to his credit, did count down from ten before he started trying to find it again. Ten seconds was more than enough time for the tiny gold ball to disappear, however.

"Ralphy!" Savannah grinned from ear to ear and Ralph returned the smile. It seemed like whatever was bothering her a moment ago melted away with his arrival. Ralph took note of this and was determined to ask Effy about it later.
The captain was already calling on him, ”Oi? You tryin' out then? You're on the silver team with me and Caty as a chaser, now hurry into formation to join the game.” Ralph blushed. The captain was talking to him now. Singling him out made him slightly uneasy, and his broom felt this. It sank towards the ground, deflating like a sad overnight helium balloon.
"Ah, um..." Ralph gulped and looked around. He caught sight of his other cousin, Tristan, whack one of the balls in the air towards another teammate. Ralph knew about bludgers very well since that was all Tristan talked about. It was only now that Ralph realized that Tristan played one of the most violent positions in the field. Perhaps the most violent.
Another person flew by. Ralph shook his head, determined to do this now. He was already in the air and he was already assigned a team; there was no backing out now! "Right," Ralph muttered as he leaned forward on the broom like he learned his first day of flying class.
Ralph knew Caty pretty well at this point. They were both first years in Slytherin, so it was natural that they shared all the same classes together. Plus he saw her everyday somewhere outside of class, too. Whether it was a hallway, the common room, or even the Dining Hall, Ralph was bound to run into her. They had never really chatted much before. But now? He had no idea she was interested in playing Quidditch. They could talk about all sorts of things now!
As he cut threw the air, a bludger soared passed, missing him by inches. Someone else had sent it this way, Ralph concluded as he watched it miss the team captain. He had held his breath until he was sure it had cleared the area around her, but his moment to relax needed to be cut short: their team captain was pushing towards the rings, cutting through them like grass.
Ralph wanted to be there to help support her, so he kicked his broom into action.

Sera silently cursed as Evander caught the snitch and let it go. She reminded herself it was to be expected as Evander had more experience and it was technically his time to shine, but she still didn't like losing. She was a Slytherin, of course she hated to lose. Irritated it took her a few extra seconds to note when he released the snitch, precious time she could have spent seeking it out again. Searching for the snitch she hoped to have luck on her side in spotting it.

Vander spotted the snitch again almost immediately and took off after it.

Sera's brow creased as she searched for the snitch to no avail, irritated by the fact it seemed Evander had spotted something. Something he was shooting after.

Vander kept going, somewhat smug about Sera still not having spotted it yet.

Sera's frown grew as she searched the pitch in hopes to find the snitch, Evander fast on the trail of the snitch no doubt too. She hoped if or when he caught up he would botch the catch affording her a chance. Unfortunately she needed to spot the snitch herself first if she had any hope of catching the snitch.

She let out a breath of relief and then bit back a swear as she spotted the snitch. She may have spotted it but she was still far behind Evander. Sera raced off toward the snitch she had just spotted and likely have spotted too late.
