Characters: Anyone present at the Quidditch game!
Setting: Quidditch Pitch; October 18, around 2 pm.
Rating: PG.
Summary: The Slytherin vs Gryffindor game doesn't go exactly as expected.
Status: IC/OOC reactions.
Saturday turns out to be a typical autumn day, and players from both teams nervously watch the steadily darkening skies that morning. Just half an hour before the game is about to begin, rain starts pouring down and those already anxiously seated in the stands have to flee for cover or otherwise ward themselves against the worsening weather. While the players mount their brooms, a -20 handicap for Gryffindor is announced, although no reason is given. As the game progresses, players are further hampered by the wind, but at least the rain doesn't impact visibility all too much. This doesn't keep Amycus Carrow, who is playing referee, from calling out foul after foul against Gryffindor, most of them unfair. By the end of the game discontent among the crowd is growing, and at some point Alecto Carrow grabs the microphone from announcer Spencer Quick (who has taken over from Luna Lovegood, and while his voice is a bit grating he at least makes an effort to follow the game) to call people to silence. Four goals by Gryffindor are tossed out in total. In the end, Harper proves to be a better Seeker than the young and inexperienced Katherine Corner, catching the snitch after about an hour and a half. Feel free to comment on your character's performance if they were one of the players or give reactions for those part of the crowd. There will be consequences for any trouble makers! |
