Tàmhas had brought up a big batch of chunky chocolate cookies along with him to the Announcer's Booth, and he was glad he had. Joining them was the younger sister of Noah and Charlotte, whom Tàm was glad to meet. He reassured Amelia that (other than Nic), they were all a bit frightened by the heights of the game. That was true, too. Though they knew all the unique aspects of the game as well. He passed out cookies and reassurances of acceptance.
Letting Alice take the mic for the first half of the game, Tàm knew she would make an excellent lead announcer after he'd graduated. That was, until he'd gotten antsy. Thankfully, it was still a game he could announce on!
"Ye're absolutely richt. That baw disnae want tae bide still! Hesperia nicked it fae Everly, only fur it tae get takken back richt away. Afon Joss aimed at Everly, but the auldier Ravenclaw managed tae duck oot at the perfect second! Ah'm no sure wha Yarrick Knapp wis aiming fer, but she missed an' it was a braw hit intae her shoulder. That looked like it hurt a fair bit as weel."That was another big aspect of Quidditch... getting hurt. While he was sure that if he could fly, he'd probably do well, he also didn't particularly fancy his bones getting broken... But they signed on for this crazy mess!
"Everly still hauds the Quaffle, an' it dinnae look like she's lettin' onybody in. Meanwhiles, we've got Kasamir Patrovna swingin' a hit at Lewis Abrams, only tae hae it stopped by Yarrick! She sent it back towards Csuri Narain! Them Seekers are lucky tae hae a guid team, since Afon defended her, but noo Yarrick's in the crosshairs! First year Zoe Fernsby deflected it back, aimmin' at Hesperia again! Unfortunately, that hit managed tae slip past baith Slytherin's beaters, hittin' Hesperia fae behind. Oh, that definitely hurt. Nae time was called, so she's pushin' through this!"Tàm was cringing hard, now fully standing as he watched the game progress. This one was already so wild!
"We've got Everly Levy in goals against Slytherin's Vikram Bhattacharyya. She feints to the right, but Vikram saw through her move an' caught the Quaffle! Brilliant save! He passed it tae Savino Devereux, but Ravenclaw's Naomi Barlow intercepted the ball. Csuri ducked oot the way of a Quaffle sent by Yarrick as well. Aye, there’s a lot of hits and near-hits ootside today! Hesperia shook off those hits tae steal the ball back for Slytherin, though Lily Spencer got it back. Ye can see why those lasses were picked for their Vice Captain spots fer sure."And just like that... the game was all over! Tàm felt a bit sad that it hadn't gone on longer, but he also had an inkling that he'd be helping in the Hospital Wing post-match... so it was probably better that there weren't more injuries.
"And frae o'er by the Captains, baith Seekers, we hae a victory! Lewis Abrams hauds high the Snitch as the game is officially ca'd by Professor Liu. That wis an incredibly close match a'roun'! This year starts aff in Ravenclaw's hands, but the season's only juist begun! There’s still plenty o’ games tae play, lots o’ points yet tae be earned. Join us at the next game, whaur Hufflepuff taks on Gryffindor. For noo, this has been Tàmhas, Alice, Nic, and Amelia here as weel. Hae a bonnie day, everyone!"
