"Works for me," Magnus said. The team shifted about to the line format. "Eros, 'ead's up!" He threw a nice arc with the quaffle." Then he moved position. The issues of earlier were completely forgot for Magnus. He was having fun.
Ace nodded at Beth "Aye aye, cap'n!" he said, flying to form a line with his teammates from where he was practicing. He purposely flew as far from Gaia as possible, making it so he could watch the others' form before trying himself. He was determined to get better at this sport.
Gaia caught the pass from Lyn () steadying herself on her broom she looked towards Ernessa () "It is all you now!" Gaia said with a grin.

A faint smirk formed on Eros' lips when Beth () commented about his attitude. "Perhaps, but scouts will be more interested in my skills than what I have to say. At the end of the day, it's all about how well you play. And what you call an attitude, I call selective socialization," he replied, turning his head slightly towards Beth but his eyes focused on the Quaffle. "I'm pretty sure there isn't this much non-game related chatter in an actual game so I think I'm good. What I may lack in pretense, I more than make up in skills and showmanship," he added, his brief arrogant smirk disappearing as he his face became serious again.
Almost right on cue, Magnus had called out Eros for the red ball. The Slytherin immediately sliced through the air as he rocketed for the Quaffle. He fetched the ball and u-turned like a boomerang. Upon moving into position and stopping, he beckoned for Aderyn (). "Aderyn, catch," he called before launching a shot backwards.
Ernessa zoomed over to ready to catch the quaffle, she saw the girl throw it and then almost as if in slow motion she saw it slip through her fingers and fall towards the ground. She tilted her broom down and then like a flash she chased after it and caught it in mid air. 'Phew, that was lucky!' She flew back up to where her team was hovering and threw it towards Ace
Aderyn watched Eros () with her keenly trained keeper's eyes and was ready when he called out to her to catch the ball. She zipped forward on her broom, catching the ball against her chest with one arm. As things appeared to be getting more heated, she grinned and circled, flying up higher in the air and dropping the ball to where () hovered below.
"All yours, Magnus!"
Magnus swooped in to grab it but his timing was off and he missed it. As the quaffle zoomed towards the ground he leaned into his broom and gathered speed. Was almost at the ground when he caught up with the ball and grabbed it, just in time to pull up before he would have it the ground. Rejoining the line he soared higher and further before throwing it to Beth. "All yours Beth!"
Ace let out a breath as he watched Ernessa throw the quaffle at him. Her form was impressive, and he appreciated the way she'd been quick thinking to catch it in the first place. He got himself into the position he felt necessary based on the trajectory of the quaffle and braced himself for impact. "Oof!" he said as he caught the quaffle with his body, hugging it like a small child, tilting dangerously backwards on his broom. He struggled to regain his balance, but was proud of his catch. As he was at the end of the line of his teammates, once he righted himself he held the handle of his old broomstick with one hand and cupped the quaffle above his shoulder. With as much might as he could manage (yet still looking like a little girl, sadly) he tossed the quaffle over to Ernessa, hoping it made it all the way back to her.

Would anyone be interested in reviving the RP? I'm not sure who is currently still active. We have a little less than two weeks until the term ends.
Please let me know if you're interested.
I've been flat out with uni this semester so I'm out :)
