 Station 3 And reacting to Taddy. Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Now instead of avoiding bludgers, he wanted to come in contact with the charmed quaffles when he could. For everyone that he didn’t block meant a possible goal and his failure at his attempt as keeper of the hoops. A watchful eye out, Septimus was quick to move at the slightest hint of something coming towards him. It had been a close call the first time, the action mostly his arm catching the quaffle and swatting it away from the hoop it had been aiming for. However the second time he wasn’t quite fast enough and all he could manage was cause the quaffle to go through the hoop at a different angle that it had been originally moving at.
No biggie…nobody was perfect and blocked everything.
At least him.
There was a reason he wasn’t a keeper. Too much pressure. He was ready for the next one though, scooting in front of the hoop it was heading towards and catching it instead. Septimus tossed it aside to resume its charmed duty, gearing up for the next shot towards him. The one that bounced off his grasp and the hoop to get inside. Now that was rotten luck. Finally he managed to jet to block his third and final shot, the fourth year letting out a sigh of relief before moving to the next station.
....only to have a quaffle being thrown at him. He managed to catch it, looking to see where it had come from...and spotting Tady just as the younger Ravenclaw was moving along.
