Right, teammates, don't steal from your own teammates; she kept telling herself over and over again, fluttering her gaze back and forth between the two snakes she was supposed to be helping, not stealing from. When it seemed the captain had stolen the quaffle, she was the closest to try and reach down and steal it from Camila.

Vander caught the snitch again, and was almost surprised by this; he'd always done fairly well at seeking, but never this well. He looked at the snitch struggling in his grip, and released it with a passive shrug. Ten seconds on the dot later he was after it again.

Failing to save Devonte, Mira wasn't happy with herself. Looking for another target she tried to aim at Camila again. With her luck the captain would dodger it. Though she had to try right?

Sera couldn't believe her rotten luck, or perhaps it was merely Evander's good luck. She narrowed her eyes for a moment at Evander as he released the snitch and again turned her attention to searching for the snitch once more.
Devonte cursed as he was hit with a bludger and then stolen from. That would leave a mark: both in his pride and in his skin. Once the younger Slytherin chaser on his team missed, he tried himself.

Even with the throbbing ache in his side, he still managed to get the ball back, to his pleasure. He tucked it under his arm, flying towards the goal-posts.

Vander saw the snitch moments after it had disappeared from his line of sight. Either he was lucky, or he had gotten good.

ﻬஐ Caty flew behind Camilla as back up and saw one of her year mates, RonorRalphorsomething. Unfortunately she hadn't talked to him as much as she'd like but if they both got on the team that was sure to change! Unfortunately during her thinking the older boy from earlier managed to steal from the captain. Determined, she flew over towards him hoping to snatch back the quaffle. ஐﻬ

Mira took a breath as she watched Caty narrowly miss Devonte. Now was a good enough time to try her luck on the younger girl again. Taking a swing at a incoming bludger, Mira hoped to land a direct hit the Caty

The air was starting to cool as the sun crept through the sky. It was either that or flying on a broom really did cool a person down. Ralph's cheeks were already numb from the air slapping them and his eyes were watering so much, he could hardly see. The first year blinked profusely, trying to clear his vision.
The captain had the quaffle stolen from her right in front of Ralph, and he watched as the opposing team member ripped it straight from her arms, too. He was surprised at how intense this game was getting, considering it was just practice. Was he expected to rip it from his hands?
Ralph was, of course, referring to the same guy that Effy had taken the ball from before. He chuckled to himself; if Effy could do it -- and she did it on accident -- why couldn't he? The boy was older, though, with light brown hair the color of fine dust. He was speeding away with the ball under his arm now.
Caty sprung into action, lunging first to try to take back what was stolen. Her form was off by a measly fraction; she tried and failed, her hand flying out wildly, trying to grab hold of the bright red orb. The opponent shrugged her off like a jacket. It hardly slowed him down at all and he just kept making a beeline towards the goals.
His peer was regaining her balance, her hand pulling back to regrip the broomstick, as another bludger whizzed passed Ralph's head. It practically curved in its trajectory around Ralph and right into Caty. It was a stomach-turned smack noise that would haunt Ralph. It sounded painful. It sounded like it hurt very badly, and that bruises would be involved.
Ralph dared not look and instead focused on his own chance to steal the big red ball, "Hiyah!" He kicked his broom like he would a horse and felt the air rush passed him. His little heart was pounding in his chest as he closed the gap between him and his opponent.
And then there they were, side-by-side, neck and neck. "Gimme that ball!" Ralph roared over the wind. He veered his broom to the side and bumped into the other chaser. He reached his hand in and attempted to yank it out. Fingers searched blindly for the ball, his eyes beginning to tear up again from how fast they were booking it.

Whether it was from Ralph shouting at the other chaser and surprising him, or if it was just the fact that being the youngest in a family had helped teach him how to take the things he wanted, the first year had no idea. All he knew was that he grabbed hold of something hard and pulled. Ralph pulled so hard his entire broom veered off course from where they were headed.
In his hand, clutched there with a Hastings' deathgrip, was the big red ball. The quackle-thing. He'd done it... somehow, he had done it! If he weren't currently being chased, Ralph would have waved it at Effy and been grinning big and wide. But he couldn't just stop now, he had the ball! Everyone was going to be swarming him any moment, as soon as they saw he had it in his possession.
This made Ralph panic a little, especially when he remembered from a few minutes ago the very loud noise those practice bludgers made on flesh, "No, no, thank you," He shuddered. Images of bludgers flashed in his mind.
Ralph had already turned his broom around; having to yank out the ball from the other chaser made it very easy to keep going to the right and make a complete turn-around. The goals were in front of him now, straight ahead. All he needed to do was get there! He leaned forward on his broom, determined to get to the bright golden rings. The grass underneath him sped past until it was just a blur of green. Ralph never realized how fast brooms could go.

Mira was barreling on the offense; Tristan had no other choice but to hang on the defense and block whatever bludgers she tried to aim. It was his usual style of beating anyway; let the other team wear themselves out and turn the tables when the prime opportunity arises. Unfortunately, Tristan didn't think he was ever going to get an opportunity. Not if she kept smacking them straight like this. Barreling down to defend Caty, he redirected his aim for Mira.
