 beater station Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
See, that right there was why Zoryn was a beater, and Abra generally stuck to seeking. As much as he liked to hit the bludgers, his aim, while not bad, was pretty inconsistent. Still, he was having plenty of fun at the beater station, flying back and forth, waiting for the bludgers to come back his way.
EeeeEEEEEeeeEEEeeeeeEEEE... Abra drew his arm back again, swung the bat through the air and with a CRACK! the bludger was sent back off towards the hoops again. Abra watched it go, shielding his eyes with his arm, and did a double fist pump when he saw that it had sailed through the centre of the middle hoop.
And then... eeeeEEEeEeeeEEEEEeeeee... another one was coming, only this time, when Abra swung at it, he caught it all wrong and ended up missing the hoop again.
Abra's arms were getting tired; never having needed to train as a beater before, he didn't really have the stamina for it. He also still had two more stations to visit, and it was probably a good idea to not completely exhaust himself first.
... Maybe one more go.
Moving his broom into a good position, so that he had a decent view of the hoops, Abra eyed the next bludger that was headed his way, and held the bat ready.
EeeeeEEEEEEEeeeeeeEEEEeeeeee...
THWACK!
With an almighty two-handed swing, Abra let the bludger have it, sending it flying back towards the goalhoops at fearsome speed. For a moment, he thought he might miss the goal again, but the bludger ended up ricocheting off the inside of the far right hoop with a great GONG!, then continuing through. Errrr... those things were charmed not to be damaged by bludgers, right? He wasn't... going to get in any trouble?
...
Abra was just gonna... leave this bat here, and head off to another station. Super casual, like.
