Alice watched the game closely, taking notes at what was happening in case they needed to do a play by play. She announced the plays as they happened though.
"And here we go! Going for the toss up for Ravenclaw is Everly Levy and opposing her, Hesperia Argyris! And Hesperia has the ball! She's on her way to the Ravenclaw goal posts... Ravenclaw claims the Quaffle, but Slytherin is tight on their tails! It's a back and forth game out there! Neither team is in possession of the ball for long! And it looks like Hesperia took a bludger hit! I hope she's okay out there! Everly has the ball once more and is heading towards the Slytherin goals!"

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!"

Tàmhas was excited for this game. It started off strongly with Seb getting to see his Ma, which was quite fun. He continued his slow, ever-terrified trek up the stairs to the Announcer's Booth. There, he set out a tray of still-warm snickerdoodles for the others. He knew Nic wouldn't pop in today, but he had a lot more on his plate than Tàm did today. Hopefully things would work out well. He had been put in task of a whole team this year, and not exactly one with the best reputation. But Tàm had a feeling all would go smoothly... and his feelings weren't too terribly often wrong.
As the stands started filling up, the brunette took hold of the mic. "G'day tae ye! We're aw gathered here the day tae catch the match up atween Gryffindor, led by Nicholas Hayward-Ye an' Roxanne Archer, an' Hufflepuff, led by Bieito Escoffier-Wellbelove an' Emilia Dyfodwg. Yer announcer team the day consists o' Alice McNamara, Amelia Braybrooke, an' me, Tàmhas Ghobhainn. As Professor Liu gives the signal, let’s get this game oan the move!" He watched as the game began, then quickly set to work. He had a feeling it would be a wild time.
"Ahm tossin' it up between Hufflepuff's Captain, Bieito Escoffier-Wellbelove, an' Gryffindor's Xeno Knapp. Hufflepuff's got the ball first an' he's away! Gryffindor Beater Adelai Hasenpfeffer-Bates comes in wi' a braw hit at Hufflepuff's Seeker, Charlotte James. No waitin' around, her brither Noah Braybrooke shows up and sends it right back! Now it looks like it’s headin' for Gryffindor Seeker, Sebastian Moon. It slips past Adelai, but Captain Nic Hayward-Ye saves it." He couldn't help the bit of pride he felt, both for his team and Gryffindor. Both of them wanted the cup after a few years without.
"Bieito's at the goals noo, havin' dodged a few attempts tae steal the ball. He feints, n' manages tae score past Gryffindor's Finneas MacDavis-Grey. That puts ten points on the board fer the Badgers! Finn passes it tae Vice Captain Roxanne Archer, wha takes aff. She bypasses the steal attempts frae Edison Overton n' Bieito, n' in a meenit, she's face tae face wi' Hufflepuff's Vice Captain, Emilia Dyfodwg. An' wi' a strong throw, Roxie scores! That'll tie up the match, ten tae ten!" Holy coo! At least he hadn't been wrong about the action!
Tàmhas changed the score to reflect, then got back to work. "While Emily's workin' oan that, it looks like Hufflepuff's Seeker might be on the trail. Gryffindor's followin' after, so we might get a close race frae those two as well! Emily passed it o'er tae Bieito, wha's on the way back ower the pitch. Roxie and Xeno both tried tae steal, but he's got his guard up. And back at the goals... Bieito sinks a second shot agin' Finn! That brings the score tae twenty - ten there. We’ve also got the Bludger bouncin' aroond between Beaters. Adelai hit it toward Charlotte again, but this time Persephone Reed sent it sky-high back towards Sebastian. Adelai mistimed his defence. Can Nic save in time?"
