The quaffle that had two dummies charging for it was only a few feet away from her.
She kicked her broom in to overdrive and took off towards it, scooping it up and immediately turning tail so she didn't run in to the dummies that were charging towards her. Now she just had to take the quaffle, make sure it didn't get taken from her, and go score!
It was game time. As soon as the quaffles were released into the air, Avalon tilted the nose of her broom forward and zoomed off in their direction. But she quickly noticed that along with the dummies, several other classmates were already pursuing the quaffles. She raced toward the third quaffle before noticing a fellow Ravenclaw scooping the second one up from one of the dummies. The girl quickly pivoted her broom and raced toward the hoops, but Avalon noticed that the dummies were gaining on her. If she didn't speed up, they'd intercept it. Avalon circled her broom around and matched the girl's pace, flying parallel to her.
"Look out behind you!! I'm open!" she called out, waving her hand once to signal to the girl.
