22 March, 1895 — Quidditch Pitch, Hogwarts
The participants of today's seeker-focused skills drill queued on the edge of the pitch, and Ben set about giving them a quick inspection. This event was less injury-prone than the bludger drill earlier in the year, perhaps, but that didn't mean students might not find creative ways to maim themselves. After dispatching one student with a... very well-loved secondhand broom to the supply closet for a more stable one, and confiscating a handful of firecrackers from the pockets of one enterprising young Gryffindor (— what had they even intended to do with them?) he released the snitches. Ten in total, which he sorely hoped the students would manage to find before the sun set in the evening. The golden orbs had a head start on the students while he explained the rules, then with a blow of the whistle he loosed them into the sky.
HOW IT WORKS
Participants | any student may participate, but aimed at house team seekers or seeking-interested members of the Quidditch or flying clubs. (Quodpot doesn't have a snitch ;P)
In Character Rules | catch a snitch. Physical contact with other students is discouraged but not strictly prohibited. No magic (other than flying, obvs) allowed.
Out of Character |
HOUSE POINTS
Members of the Flying or Quidditch clubs can earn points for club participation by posting 5+ times in the thread. (5 points/student) (if you already earned club participation points for Powder Puff Bludgers, you can't earn them again as these are the same clubs and you're already an active member).
The house which catches the majority of the snitches when the thread closes earns 15 points.
