#3 stealing from Puff SPOILER!!: Amur Huh? Tag team? Zeke considered Amur for a moment before his face split into a grin. "Tag team," he confirmed with a nod. Because obviously teamwork had its benefits. Mmmhhmm. The only question that remained was... which House would be their victim? Did it matter? No. "Go long!" he stated with enthusiasm, arms flailing as he pushed himself in the direction of the Hufflepuff camp. He managed to get a hand on a yellow ball, and stole it away. Teeheee! And then as he drifted down from the platform he looked for Amur. Was she ready to catch?! |

Post 4 - Slytherin pass attempt REALLY? WAS SHE INVISIBLE TODAY? Dot grabbed the ball and hopped back out into a clear space in the room, again roving for someone to catch her toss. Perhaps she also whooped it up a little, in a way that was entirely not lady-like at all. "Who's open? Who..." Dot bounded back and forth at the Gryffindor end of the room, looking for someone... anyone... who... THERE. Those younger Slytherins were doing an amazing job acting as receivers right by their platform. Dot hissed before letting the ball fly through the air in their direction. |
Post 2; getting ready to recieve throw from Zeke SPOILER!!: Zeke It was PURE CHAOS! Which meant that Amur was grinning ear to ear, wide and proud. Especially when Zeke seemed to catch her drift. Amur went long, though she wasn't entirely sure which long she was supposed to be going. It seemed Zeke was going Hufflepuff long, which meant she was going PAST the Gryffindor platform long. With ghusto she jumped onto her chosen spot, shooting up a good few feet in the air and thrusting her arms up, ready to catch. "BOUNCE IT OFF THE ROOF!" Cause no one would think of being able to intercept that, right? |

Post 2 - Catching Puffer Ball from Ravenclaw teammate Quote:
Olivia tried her best not to bounce or move too much as she waited for the response from the other girl. Less gravity had its interesting qualities. And then there was the raised arms and hands in search of catching the ball that was eventually thrown her way. It was going relatively straight and towards her, but maybe not quite as far. Biting her lip, the first year shifted herself forward to grab for it, relieved as she managed to grab it as she bounced slightly in her movements. One part done...her gaze now turning to the Ravenclaw platform. |
#4 passing to Amur SPOILER!!: Amur He saw her, and they were going to ACE this. They were, they would. They'd do all the winning and Gryffindor would be VICTORIOUS... cause, he totally wasn't competitive or anything. Nope. Amur's idea though, was truly genius. Bounce it off the ceiling. Brilliant. Bracing himself, he held the ball as if he would a shot-put, and with GREAT gusto, tossed it at the ceiling between them, hoping the angle was right enough for a) the ball the make it to her and b) for her to be able to catch it. He watched with great anticipation, his grin becoming dangerously wide as he watched it soar. |
Post 3 - Bouncing and Placing Ball in Ravenclaw With the ball securely in her possession, all there was left to do was get it into the home spot for her house. Olivia didn't trust just throwing it so she made sure she had a good hold on her catch and headed over closer, a clear bounce in her steps now. Maybe even gaining a little air in the process. "Zoinks..." she said when she finally landed in a better position to secure the stolen ball. Taking a more strategic bounce, Olivia went up and up, needing to head up the several feet to the Ravenclaw platform hanging there. It took a couple of tries, but she finally was able to place the purloined ball in its new, hopefully permanent, homes. |
Post 3; catching Hufflepuff ball and depositing for Gryffindor SPOILER!!: Zeke! He got it! He heard her! He was going for it!!!!!! ..........THAT WAS QUITE THE THROW! So much so that Amur greatly feared for her face. Extending her arms out in front of her, Amur squeaked a little as the ball came racing towards her. She might have closed her eyes too, if keeping track of the ball wasn't so imperative. Having somewhat invisible hands meant she had to use SOME coordination. The ball made a thwack against her skin, and her fingers curled around it reflexively. Amur blinked, stared and then grinned. "Got it! Toss another!" While she raced back towards the Gryffindor platform and dropped the ball onto it. Point for Gryffindor! Was it appropriate to let out a roar?! |
#5 stealing a Ravenclaw ball SPOILER!!: Amur .............. .................... In an effort to see better, Zeke had moved away from the Hufflepuff platform, drifting off to a point nearer the middle of the room, but closer to the Ravenclaw platform, his head tilting on an angle as he watched the ball rise, and fall and aim directly for Amur "Great catch!" he called out over the noise of their peers. But there was no time to be wasted. If this was going to be all the 'Astronomy' he would truly be able to appreciate, then he would make the most of every second. Jumping at the Ravenclaw platform, Zeke used his arms (flailing slightly) to direct himself into landing. Success! And with that, Zeke plucked a blue ball from the Ravenclaw pseudo-pyramid and hopped back down from the platform. Weeeeeeee! "Same again?!" he called, because the ceiling thing seemed to be working for them, despite it hardly being a 'trend' yet. |
Post 1 - Stealing from Ravenclaw! Scarlett hadn't been fast enough to get one of the balls from the middle, but that was ok - she was smaller and knew she probably didn't have much of a shot anyways. But that was ok, because now she could focus on being a sneaky thief and contribute to Hufflepuff that way! Her plan was to take from Ravenclaw because - well, they'd started out behind Hufflepuff and she wanted to KEEP them down. Eyes set on the pyramid of balls on their platform, she took a step and then LEAPED off on her second step, bouncing and then jumping again until she was near the ball pyramid. She reached out and grabbed one in her hand, turned on her heel, and prepared to throw... |
post 7 - intercepting! Quote:
"Oh no you don't!" The seventh year bounced over towards the fifth year and didn't even try to block his throw. No, she merely just tackled on top of him, because that was the easiest way for her to intercept the pass. |
Post 4 - Stealing from Gryffindor Olly sent a thumbs up to the boy who had caught the ball he'd thrown. Since he was already over by the Gryffindor platform, he thought he might as well steal more from them. The middle was empty anyway. Now they were down to the interesting part of the competition. Olly glanced around furtively and grabbed a Gryffindor ball. He was as inconspicuous as one could be in such a situation. Quickly, he spun and searched for a Slytherin to throw to. |
Post 2 :: Stealing from Gryffindor Quote:
She pushed herself toward the Gryffindor's platform, her eyes set on the red balls. She needed to get one, land it safely on the Slytherin's platform, and then watch it turn a beautiful shade of GREEN! Reaching the platform, Ariadne reached out for a ball but only managed to float even further away from the platform than she'd been before. UGH. This was not helpful. She pushed through again but nearly collided into another student. What in the name of--- OHHH! It was a Slytherin student with a red ball! "I'M OPEN!" she called out. If she couldn't steal a ball, she could accept a pass! Arms waving in the air, Ariadne waited for the ball to be thrown her way. |

Pass Interception! Quote:
Hopping down from the Gryffindor platform, he sought out which house's platform to steal from... only to see someone was already stealing from theirs. This... he shouldn't have moved. Glancing to the girl who called out, he kinda placed himself in between the two. With his tongue sticking out, he eyed the Slytherin who had the red ball, wiggling in place before giving a great leap up... Intercepted! ...Aaand falling back to the ground. |
Steal attempt : Hufflepuff So stealing from slytherin hadn’t worked…Mel wasn’t sulking nope, even if her face was still a bit red from that mishap with Tia and the Gryffindor balls being stolen…they were losing all of their balls…now, she had to do it. She HAD to make back their points her precious precious balls. Looking around the room for any free Gryffindors she snuck her way toward the hufflepuff platform as quietly as possible. SHE WAS GOING TO DO THIS. Thrusting into the air and floating up up up up up up up she made her way toward the floating Hufflepuff platform. Reaching her little grabby hands out was the easy part...she just hoped she wasn’t that noticeable. |
Post 3 :: Stealing from Gryffindor Quote:
It was a blur of redness, and suddenly Ariadne pictured herself on a Quidditch field! It was her dream to get out there and play, and this was just like how it'd be out there on that field! She eyed the ball the whole way, and when it got close to her, she--...WAIT. WHAAAAAAT. Some Gryffindor boy had stolen the ball!!! HOW DARE HE. She had been so close to victory! She didn't dare look at the Slytherin boy who'd tried to throw it to her. SOOO SORRY! But this was not a moment to be lost! She was still RIGHT THERE by the Gryffindor platform, so she snatched away a different ball. Now to pass! Was the boy she'd just been trying to catch from still around?! She now had a ball to THROW! |
The fall to the ground seemed like it took forever, but he did finally land. On his behind. Was just getting all the attention today wasn't it. Scrambling back up, he jogged back over closer to the Gryffindor side and leaped up to the platform to place the red ball back where it came from. Their pile was smaller. Enough to make his lip jut out slightly, but not enough to dampen the spirits. The game was only JUST beginning! Not at all discouraged, he looked around again for the easiest platform to steal from... or if someone needed to pass to another. |
Steal success : hufflepuff, -- pass? MEL HAD IT IN HER HANDS. The yellow ball WAS so going to turn red. Soon. Looking around she started to fall slowly toward the ground with the yellow ball tucked into her arm. SHE NEEDED TO FIND SOMEONE TO PASS TO. WHO WAS SHE GOING TO SEND THIS BALL TO? She needed to do this quickly before a hufflepuff noticed her or more noticed their yellow ball tucked in her little arms. |
open for a pass from Slytherin Quote:

Quote:
"Oh, OH, HEY!" he flailed his arms a little, spotting the Gryffindor girl from before. This was totally a smart move. Put all the attention on them! Though granted, how else was he going to get the girl's attention. "HEY! I'm open!" |
Pass attempt Quote:
And the ball was in the air – she just hoped it worked. That he caught it and it wasn’t intercepted…not that it seemed like people were paying attention to her…the fools. |
#6 tackling with Tia??? SPOILER!!: zomg Tia XD One second he had a clear path to take a shot off to Amur... and the next second he was being attacked by the Head Girl. ... he could hardly blame her though. Chuckling, he maintained his grip on the ball with one hand tucking it under his elbow, but struggled somewhat under Tia's weight - not that she was heavy, she wasn't, the lack of gravity thing helped with that too. But no, he was losing his balance and petering over onto his side, effectively taking her with him. His free arm gripped hers. If she was taking him down, he would take her with him. "If you wanted to hug me, all you had to do was ask," he smirked in the process, because LULZ, she must have just wanted to touch him. He still had the ball. |
Defending attempt! Quote:
Tenacius just kept bounce floating looking to defend his house' platform Hey wait... Is that little blur Ariadne? "Not today Ariadne" Tenacius hollered laughing, going after the Slytherin brunette just as he heard her team mate asking for the pass. |
