Zachary's fingers were centimeters from the snitch, his palm already growing slightly curved to grasp it. With a pleased smirk on his face, he felt the wings flutter at his wrist, before enclosing his hand around it.
However, just as his fingers curled around the ball, something hit the tail of his broom hard, before dragging up to the small of his back. The bludger had lost some of its momentum when it had knocked into the handle of his broom, but the impact still caused Zachary to fall forward, his eyes wide with surprise.
The snitch buzzed around his ear mockingly, before crashing into his forehead as if taking revenge on its near-capture.
"BLACK!"
Zachary twirled his broom around instantly, his eyes narrowed and a pounding reaching his ears as blood rushed through his veins, trying to soothe the injury. "Do you not listen to instructions?" He was a bit far from her now, and the bludger glided toward him again though he barely dodged it.
"And stop your bloody giggling." He scowled, before his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Actually, continue your giggling. I won't be able to hear you while you're doing twenty-five laps around the pitch. Off your broom."[OOC; Oy! Leave out the god-modding. In order to make a hit, you have to have two beaters and two posts, giving the player a chance to dodge. And injuring Zachary deserves more than two lines-- In fact... He totally deserves at least five pages of description.  ]

Marishka's jaw hung open as she watched Bellatrix spy Zachary with a mischievous smile, waiting until his back was turned and attention drawn before she swiftly picked up one of the beater's bats, throwing back her arm and slamming a bludger in his direction. Marishka winced as she watched it hit him with full force, catching him off guard completely before her spiraled nauseously to the ground, marching up to her and shouting.
When Bellatrix laughed in Zachary's face, she'd had enough. 'IDIOT!' She shouted, flying back down to the ground and leaping off her own broomstick, leaving it lying in the mud. 'Save the surprise attacks for Gryffindor, Black - practices aren't the place! Zachary is out captain, do you want to loose?! We NEED him if you hadn't noticed!' She roared louder and louder, smacking the bat from the girl's hand.

Bella summoned her bat back into her hand. "Marishka, bite me." she said before zooming, still giggling, over to her cousin and sister.

Marishka narrowed her eyes as Bellatrix turned on her heel and fled back to her familiars, giggling dumbly. For a moment the Slytherin girl was incapable of saying anything that would do her true feelings justice, and she looked over at Zachary aspperatedly, silenting pleading for him to lay down some sort of law. However, he seemed to be maintaining his nonchalant silence. You're not captain, Mayfair, LEAVE it! A bold voice said in her head as she felt herself wanting to mouth off again.
Of course, since when had Marishka ever known when to shut her mouth? 'Bite you? I'll bloody bite you!' She yelled, whipping out her wand. With a silent incantation and a complicated twirled of her wand, a great jet of brightly coloured wasps burst from the tip of it. The noise was almost defeaning as they made a bee-line toward Bellatrix, obidiently avoiding any of the other Slytherins in their persuit of Marishka's target...

Zachary rolled his eyes as Bellatrix stormed off indifferently, the curls of her hair bouncing behind her. "Dense as a bloody troll," he muttered, feeling his temper rise with each high-pitched giggle.
"Funny am I!" He growled suddenly, his nose wrinkling in dislike and his wand pulled out in a split second. "You know what else would be funny? Seeing that mouth of yours spell-o-taped shut--"
However, he was cut off as a flash of yellow, then red, then green blurred passed him, causing him to stumble back a little. Immediately he turned to Marishka, his eyebrows raised, before giving her a side-long glance of approval.
He was glad she had done something before he could. Likely, for attacking one of those who were trying out, he'd lose his position as captain... However, Mara would suffer a detention for it at most.

Seeing the approving look on Zachary’s face, Bellatrix snapped. Anger welled up inside her and she came to the conclusion she had had enough.
"Find another bloody beater!" Bella wailed, hurling the bat at him. "Keep in mind, I just sent you to the ground. A good captain would rather have that on their team!"
I do know how, thank you very much.

Zachary let out a yelp, ducking instantly though suffering the end of the bat to his shoulder. Wincing, he watched as the bat rolled on the freshly cut grass, before coming to a stop near the hoops.
"Perhaps I'll manage to find another beater that actually listens to instructions." He said haughtily, standing up a bit crookedly and grasping his broom with a scowl. "And you sent me to the ground because I was caught unaware. I asked you to hit the bludger at the chasers, If I remember correctly, meaning I was not expecting the hit."
Zachary hopped onto the broom, a dull ache forming on his back. "All the players on the pitch are suspecting bludger hits, Black. You'd have quite a harder time hitting them."
Then, effectively ignoring her marching off to the distance, he made his way back to Fallon and Maeve, continuing his practice. "Nice form, Winters!" He called, before rounding his broom and sending Marishka the faintest of smirks.

'You actually thought you'd get the position?' Marishka scoffed a laugh, raising her eyebrows in disbelief as to how delluded the girl must have been. 'It was a cheap shot, that was all. And your swing was completely off.' She called after her before turning on her heel and walking back to her own broomstick, mounting it and taking off again.
She caught Zachary's knowing smirk and returned it, thoroughly pleased with herself.

Maeve sighed. Why must her family be so....uncontrollable? She guessed she should've seen that coming from Bella, being the most uncontrollable of the three (Blacks and Malfoy). She watched as her cousin walked off the pitch, Maeve shaking her head.
Looking back over to Zach, she yelled from the hoops, "Are we continuing or not?"

Adrienne yawned from her position on the stands. One of her legs were crossed over the other and she smirked from behind her hand.
"Really!" She called, standing up and making her way to the field. "How do you expect to defeat any other team when you can't even get over yourselves?" She leaned over the lowest stand a slender brow arched and a set of pink lips curved into a devious smile.[/font]

Fallon had been getting ready to go for another. If Malfoy wanted to play with a broken finger, let her. Not Fallon's problem. Fallon rounded again, and flew down the pitch. She wanted a full sprint down.
However, when she got to her starting position, she heard a whoosh noise. She looked to the side, and ducked down just in time. A bludger hit by one Bella Black had almost just killed her. She followed its path, still clutching the quaffle in her arms. "Hey! Wa-" Nope, to late. The bludger hit Zach unawares. His broom went spiraling from under him. "oooh" Fallon said with a shudder. Hard fall.
And then the circus broke loose. As Mariska yelled, Fallon sat back and watched. Zach was yelling and Bella seemed to think it was the biggest joke in the universe. Fallon decided not to get involved. She had to remember that Black's sister and cousin were also present on the pitch. It could have gotten messy.
And it did. Fallon could tell that Zach was on the verge of jinxing or charming of doing something to Bella. Luckily, Mariska got there first. Fallon had to admit that the spell was very well performed. "Very nice Marishka, I rather like the purple wasps!" Fallon yelled from over head, laughing.
Fallon laughed and turned to notice that Malfoy was also a spectator of the circus. Fallon raced forward. Of, course the shot would be fair. Keepers got distracted sometimes, and Malfoy should learn not be be distracted. Fallon dove beneath her and then zoomed upward. She heard Malfoy shout toward their captain and then zoomed upward. "Of course!" Fallon said through the quaffle into the nearest hoop scored a goal. She zoomed away spiraling upside down. She heard Zach shout after her something about form. She smiled. "Thank you mon Capitan!"

Maeve turned her head the moment Fallon shot the quaffle. She laughed as it went in. "Get the Keeper distracted and make a shot. Brilliant idea, Winters." Maeve flew over and caught the quaffle on the other side of the hoop. She tossed it back through the hoop to Fallon.
"Now, let's try to play like the other houses," she paused for a bit, "...fair, or we could keep to our own way, but then we'd have to find ways to distract the other Keepers." Maeve laughed again. "I like our way better." she flew up to defend the hoops.
"I'm guessing we're going to continue try-outs. So, let's get going." she smirked, ready.

Narcissa decided on a whim, that she no longer wanted to be on the quidditch team. She smirked at her cousin and said, "Sorry hun, but I cannot take this either." She hucked her bat at the team, pulled her hair out of a ponytail, smiled to them, waved, and took off after her sister.
