F U C K. It appeared Abrams had also spotted. And he was probably going to be better equipped to catch. Csuri crouched down, hoping she could beat him to the snitch. Somewhere nearby someone took a hit, but Csuri couldn't peel her eyes away. If she let herself get distracted, she'd lose the snitch and the game.

Oh man, she was right on the snitch. Her short little arms couldn't reach yet, but the other seeker was right on her tail. She bit her lip, hoping for just enough of a stretch.

Lewis was right after Csuri on the quest for the snitch. Her arms were already outstretched, but he had another couple feet or so. She'd likely get first crack, but he was still determined to win.

As Brianna charged towards the goals, she spared a glance about to see the situation around her. It looked as though Csuri was about her business already, but Lewis was hot at her figurative heels, while Everly and Tambry were doing what was expected, namely keeping her busy, while Bludgers were sailing about the area of the pitch. Past that, she was far too busy to assess the game's particulars, like where all the Beaters were relative to the Bludgers, and where her own Chasers were. 'Come on, Csuri, snag that thing,' she silently urged her Vice-Captain, as she crouched lower over her broomstick, coaxing it to greater speed.

Dang it! Brianna was so close! Everly knew she had to get the ball now or let their keeper try to deflect. If she could steal, it looked like Lewis was close, so maybe they could prevent Slytherin from scoring at all. She reached out, hoping for success.

They were getting worrisomely close to the goals now, so they had one final chance to steal. Everly missed by a hair, so Tambry slid in, hoping she could masterfully swipe the quaffle away.

Just as she was waiting for the voice behind her to call out, Csuri noticed he'd stopped. Wait... She looked down at her own hand, eyes going wide when she noticed the glint of gold there. "I... I did it?" She questioned softly, looking over at the other Seeker. He was smiling really big for someone who just lost. "You sure did! Better call it out and end this thing!" Ugh. Stupid dumb boys. But he had the right idea... and his smile may have been infectious.
Lifting her hand above her head, Csuri cried out. "I CAUGHT THE SNITCH!" A sharp whistle sounded, the girl looking around as applause erupted from the stands. Wait... were they cheering for her? This was super weird. She looked back at the snitch, then flew off toward Brianna to share the moment with her friend.

Brianna was charging hard for the goals when she heard the shrill sound of the whistle. For a moment, she feared Lewis caught the Snitch, and then looked up when she heard Csuri calling out that she’d caught it instead, and heard her House cheering from the stands. The Sixth Year skidded to a halt in midair, laughing aloud as she tossed the Quaffle aside, before meeting her friend. She’d waited a year for this precise moment.
She gave Csuri a big hug, and told her, “You did it, Csuri, I knew you could do it. You’re going to be the hero of the whole danged House tonight!” There’d be a victory celebration tonight, one too long in the coming of, and a darned shame Karah wasn’t present to see it, or Aedan, for that matter. Winning would silence a number of detractors and naysayers, as after all, ‘Victory needs no explanations, defeat allows none. All Csuri needed was an even break.’
Breathing a sigh, she knew she’d need to shake hands with her white-haired rival, as they’d put up a good fight, and it was only right. So long as the rest of her crew got out of this game unscathed, she was willing to take her own injury as an acceptable cost for their victory. Given how her leg was feeling, and it was already throbbing now the adrenalin from the match was wearing off, she was pretty sure it wouldn’t bear her weight once she was on the ground, not like she wasn’t accustomed to such inconveniences. There was a foldable cane in her bag for just such emergencies, as she was darned if she was going to be carried out of the arena. “So, how about butterbeers, Csuri? I should like to raise a proper toast to you, an’ everyone else.”

Csuri looked over just in time to be pulled into a hug by Brianna. The older blonde said that the was going to be the hero of the whole house. "Oh... oh man." Suddenly she wished for a moment that she'd missed the snitch. What if people wanted to talk to her? She sent a nervous grin over toward the blonde, but it came out as more of a grimace. The thought of having anyone, much less the whole house thinking her a hero really freaked her out.
It was about then that the third year noticed that Brianna must've gotten injured. She was going to question it, but that was when Brianna asked about butterbeers, saying she wanted to raise a proper toast to her and everyone else. "Or... um... maybe I help you get to the hospital wing, then hide somewhere and avoid the common room." She nodded a few times, thinking it would be easier to avoid the common room in full than it would be to actually talk to people. The thought of socialization made her skin crawl.

Holy jeez it was cold out. Even with warming charms on his uniform, Bee was shivering. The only bit of comfort he had was that for the first time he had family in the stands... somewhere. If he'd actually braved the snow, that is. He tugged his hat on tighter, clutching his new (well, new to him, it was previously owned by Milan) broom as though it'd prevent him from freezing into a large ice lolly. Hopefully it'd be one of those mercifully short games like their last one had been.

Csuri had won the first game of Slytherin's season, but now she had to try to do it again with garbage visibility. Hopefully she could keep herself warm, at least. Before the game, she pulled on her snow boots and earmuffs, plus her quidditch sweater and scarf. Once she felt like a toasty snowman, the girl wandered outside toward the pitch. It was cold and gross, but she was determined as heck to win again. A taste of success only spurred her on, making her want to win all the more.

Time: 2061-2062 Location: Quidditch Pitch A (Slytherin v Hufflepuff) ------------------------------------------------------------------------xx
Emily hadn't had the chance to defend the goals last game but she saw that as a good thing. She had practice to defend the goals. If she didn't defend the goals during the game it showed how good their chasers were. As for this game, both Slytherin and Hufflepuff had a game under their belts won by their seekers. Emily would be more excited for the game if the weather was better. Even with bewitched clothing made warmer, the cold still stung her cheeks and her forehead above her goggles. Her braided pigtails were damp and frosted over from the snow. She wanted the game over already. Part of her wasn't even that picky who won so long as it was quick. This mist was not going to help the seekers end this game any faster...

Brianna Cathaline Quinn-Smith Slytherin │ Sixth Year │ Sixteen Years Old │ Single │ Slytherin Prefect │ Dueling Club Captain │ Quidditch Captain
Winds whipped the snows around Brianna’s slim figure as she stalked towards the pitch in a purposeful manner for the second match of the season, wherein they’d be pitted against the Badgers of Hufflepuff. She had her broomstick slung over one shoulder, and her game bag, while she had her steel coffee beaker in her hand. She was drinking her usual pre-game brew, a Death Wish, Turkish ground, double espresso blend with hazelnuts and chocolate, a brew strong enough to raise Inferi, to brace against the chill which sought to get in under the Warming Charms she’d cast upon her Quidditch gear, and keep her sharp as she’d need her wits about her today.
The last match had proved her faith in Csuri was warranted, and winning had done much to silence naysayers. Victory today would put the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup potentially within reach. Despite the lousy visibility, Brianna was rather hoping her Vice Captain could grab the Snitch within a short period of time, so she could get her crew back inside before the cold and injuries took their inevitable toll. Thinking about that was enough to cause her oft-magically healed leg to ache annoyingly as even with Charms cast on her clothing, the cold and damp insinuated itself into her bones.
After setting aside her bag and her mug, Brianna walked out onto the pitch, where Csuri already was. She gave her Vice- Captain a wintery smile, and said to her, “Ave Imperator, ave morituri te salutant, aut non. I shouldn’t think we will see any ravens in this weather. We’ve got this.”
