Part of being a seeker was keeping an eye out on the rival seeker, to make sure they were not going for the snitch that you had failed to spot. Besides he wanted to keep one eye on @aj to see if he could pick on new tactics, tips and skills that might be useful in his future as seeker. It always was useful to see what the other seekers were doing anyway. Noticing that AJ diving downward Donald started to wondered if the Gryffindor had see the snitch, or was it a trick? Deciding not to take a risk he dived in the same direction that AJ was going. Just in case.

@aj , - Sorry Foster, that's my bad, I don't think you were in Discord for the conversation. There is an account for the Snitch so it can't be caught until it has posted. But he can definitely think he sees it, and Donald can too! So no coin flip needed ! :)

Freya growled when he made the goal and narrowed her eyes at him. She wasn't going to let him win, he was cute, but she was determined. It was her first true game of giving it her all. She got the Quaffle and zoomed away towards the other side of the pitch.

The bludger hit, they scored and all seemed to be going well. Until, apparently, Nott either decided to sleep on his broom or was so distracted by the Ollivander girl that he forgot about the quaffle. Figures. "Oi, Nott. Wake up!" but Anne was smiling as she said it, so it wasn't all that terrible. Making a sharp turn and pushing the speed of her broo in the direction of @freya , she saw that one of their chasers (NPC) was near the girl. Time for a bit of play. There were no bludgers close by so a Transylvanian Tackle would have to do. Her broom was faster and Anne was side by side with Ollivander in no time. Then, she swung her arm, the one with the bat, in the direction of the girl's nose, wooden implement passing almost close enough to the other girl's nose to touch. With the speed and the strength, that should knock her out of balance, even if there was no contact. Hopefully the chaser (NPC) would capitalise and get the quaffle if @freya was disoriented.

*Transylvanian Tackle – A fake punch to the nose to confuse the opponent (as long as contact is not made, it is not illegal) - from the wiki. Coin toss for level of disorientation, maybe? If any?

Clio grimaced when the bludger hit @cody, a few rude words tumbling from her mouth. She breathed a sigh of relief when @freya got the quaffle back, but it didn't matter; they were already losing. She let out a sigh as she kept the chaser in sight, moving her broom towards the closest bludger. When @darthlumiya nearly punched Freya, she almost lobbed the bludger at her, but thought against it, aiming once more at the (NPC) Ravenclaw chaser closest to Freya.

LJ hovered just above where he saw @darthlumiya take off after @freya and he nodded once to Caerus before he swung around and took off in the direction of the game. Things were moving quickly, and he had to hope that their keeper was ready on the other end of the pitch. He thought that they would be, and sweeping around in a wide arch he took aim towards the pair of witches that were hurtling up the field. He didn't want to yell Anne's name, but he wanted her to duck. When he saw her swing her arm out he made the decision and went for it, hoping the Gryffindor was distracted enough by the blow from the other side that she wouldn't see the bludger coming from the other direction.

Coin flip for bludger contact ?

The game had been all in the Chasers and Beaters hands so far, and Cody was ready and waiting for his chance to block. Sadly, when the time came a well aimed bludger crashed right into the front of his broom. He barely had time to move his hands out of the way. He flailed his arms for a second to regain balance and, thankfully, didn't fall. But, he didn't get perfect control of his broom in time to save that goal, and Ravenclaw scored. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head getting back into gear, gripping his broom tightly.

(hope I did this right XD)

Donald didn't think he could see the snitch and decided to pull back up and return to looking for it above the pitch. He half wondered if AJ had done the dive to try and trick him, or if his rival number had made a legitimate attempt for the snitch. However, now was not the time to worry about that, right now he had to focus on the game at hand.

AJ chuckled when he watched pull from his own dive as AJ continued; the ground coming up fast as he swooped to his left and back up in the air. Flying close to the other seeker he winked; the boy was quick; but he still had a ton to learn. AJ wouldn't mind taking the boy out one afternoon and teach him some things; after Gryffindor wins though. Keeping his eyes peeled he watched his team cautiously; looking from them to the air simultaneously as he kept a watch for the snitch.

Now this was potentially very confusing for people who don't follow coin flips and probabilities well but I want to make sure that everyone sees the numbers and what is happening. For those of you who like words, and I do, here's a written summary of what just happened!

After taking possession of the Quaffle, Freya headed toward the goals. Anne followed, using a tactic called Transylvanian Tackle, which is a move where you pretend to hit someone in the face with the bludger bat, in order to attempt to disorient them. This was successful, however, the Ravenclaw chaser closing in on Freya to attempt to steal the Quaffle was hit by Clio's bludger, and it was a bad hit. They were unable to steal possession of the Quaffle. LJ then aimed a bludger at Freya, which made impact but not severely enough for her to lose control of the Quaffle. Gryffindor still has possession, both bludgers are in play, and seekers are still looking for the snitch!
