I L E N E H E L E D D W A R L O W hufflepuff beater │ fourth year │ halfblood
Lena was still shocked she'd made first string last year, but determined to prove herself this year. She didn't want anyone looking down at her just because she she could be kind of.... flighty. Ha ha. She took Quidditch seriously! Besides, this time around it should be much less overwhelming, since she'd actually played games before. No more stage fright or freezing up. Waving at everyone and breathless from sprinting down the hill to the pitch, she snatched up a form to fill out.

Mary had taken her time getting down to the pitch this year, but she was still on time so that is what counted. Mary smiled at all the newcomers and regulars waving as she walked up to Laili. Laili, Mary had decided, ever since finding out the Quidditch Captain got head girl, was her ambition to be at Hogwarts. She always was so nice and seemed put together too. Smiling at Laili she said, "Ready for another great year?" In the meantime, Mary took a form and filled one out for traditions sake.

╔═════════════════════════════╗ Philip Quimby-Winthrop Fifteen Years Old - Fifth Year - Hufflepuff - Adopted ╚═════════════════════════════╝
Philip walked out onto the pitch for the first time in over a year. After not trying out last year and trying to make his studies his number one priority, he learned that a life without sports is not a life he would enjoy living. Although he had OWLs coming up this year (and was pretty stressed about them, especially since he knew he would have a little more trouble than the average kid), he figured he would probably do worse if he was too bummed to even study. After filling out a form, the fifth year began stretching.

Jordan was ready to try out once more. He filled out the form and warmed up as any athlete would. Last time he tried out, he was the youngest one. Now, two years later, he was no longer the youngest. Hopefully that meant he’d have a better chance at making the team.

Shui rushed in feeling late. He wasn't but by his own standards he was. He had fresh gear as he had done what felt like entirely too much growing over the summer. Well.fresh as in last year's style on sale. He practicly had a new wardrobe too. Him and his shiny new gear arived and filled out a form.

Maisie'd heard about Quidditch in passing, mostly from the witch who visited them at home who seemed just as passionate about the sport as her dead was whenever there was a footie game going on. But lots of her housemates were enthusiastic about the game, and she figured that it wouldn't hurt to try. There wasn't a swimming team at Hogwarts, or even a footie team, something that she'd complained to her da at great length in the letters she wrote back home. There were Quidditch teams at Hogwarts though, and the fact that the game was played on brooms was enough to convince Maisie to give it a try. She might not have played it before, but she'd played keeper for her school's footie team so there shouldn't be a big difference there; she just had to do it flying.
It wasn't that early in the morning, but there were still many people on the pitch and Maisie waved cheerfully at them all as she walked in, her borrowed school broom hanging off her shoulder. There was a stack of forms waiting so she filled one out and handed it to the girl who looked like the captain with a smile before looking around. To Maisie's delight, she wasn't the only first year trying out; Saffron was there too and while they hadn't really talked yet, it looked like they had something in common now. "Saffron! Fancy seein' ya here! Have you played Quidditch before?" she asked her as she approached and started stretching.

Saffron inspected the school broom she was borrowing, taking note of each knick in the wood. She hoped it wouldn't have an effect on her flying ability. When someone called out her name, she looked up with a wide smile. It was Maisie, someone she knew of because they were both first years. "Hi Maisie!"she greeted the other girl,"Not really! I've flown once but that ended with a broken arm. But it's cool, I'm sure it'll be better this time!" Saf cocked a lop-sided grin.
When Maisie began stretching, Saffron realized she should probably do the same. She sat on the ground and reached for her toes, "Have you ever played any Quidditch? Or, like, just sports in general?" She asked, sure, she was always the type of kid to play outside, but she was never super involved in organized sports or teams. Not that she was disinterested, just never had the opportunity until now.

Maisie's smile widened when Saffron greeted her back. The other girl was just as new to Quidditch as she was, which was a little relieving if she was being honest. She winced in sympathy when the other girl mentioned breaking her arm, cradling her own arm at thought. "Hopefully, it'd be awful to get a broken arm so soon."
As they stretched together, Saffron asked her if she'd played sports before and Maisie nodded in response. "Not Quidditch, I only found out that it existed just before coming here, but I played football at school, and I was on the swimming team. But Quidditch sounded fun so figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. I was a keeper before so stopping balls shouldn't be too hard," she shrugged. "Would help if I can keep my balance on these overgrown twigs," she grinned and nodded at their brooms. "You?"

Saffron solemnly nodded, it would royally suck if she broke her arm again. Although, recovery would probably be a lot faster here at Hogwarts, what with magic and everything. Her parents had made her go to a muggle hospital when she broke her arm, claiming that having to deal with a cast on her arm was punishment enough for running off with her mom's old broom and then irresponsibly going into the woods without permission.
Saffron shook her head as the question was turned on her, "No sports. I just went out and ran around outside, going on voyages into the wooded areas near my house. I guess that could count as hiking? Anyway, I'd like to try a few, that's why I'm here!" She grinned again before pulling her fiery hair into a ponytail as to keep it out of her face."My dad is super into football, I heard quidditch is kind of similar, so I'm hoping I'll understand it a bit before going into it. How does swimming work? Like...other than swimming?" Sure the question was a little redundant, but she still felt the need to ask the question.

spaceSher was running a bit late, he knew, and he felt bad about it. But honestly, there was a small part of him that wondered if he was late enough, if the tryouts would start without him and he could get away with being put on reserve as punishment. He wasn't very good, after all, they would probably do better without him on first string. But, it was his last year, and as bad as he played in games, he did enjoy the social aspect and the exercise, so he didn't want to quit the team altogether. He would just... rather mostly be at practices and only worry about games when he was really needed to cover. That probably wouldn't happen, but oh, well. At least he only had a few more games to screw up.

Bethany patted herself on the back. Not only had she managed to get to the pitch on time for tryouts, but she'd managed to avoid running into Eve and her crusade against Chance's other sister. Honestly, it was a giant headache and made Bethany want to smack her, but she also had to worry about her younger cousins Jack and Loke doing things. Grabbing a form, she filled it out and went to stand with Lia and glanced over."You are so lucky you don't have psychotic cousins trying to chase you down."

.¸¸.•´´¯`•Laili grinned happily at each person who came onto the field and gave her their forms ecstatic at the turnout. She was sad that a few older players weren't able to return but she wished them well fully understanding their reasons. When it seemed all those who would be trying out had arrived, she put her fingers between hers lips and gave a short high whistle to capture their attention. She then grabbed her wand in order to cast a sonorus so everyone could hear her. "Good morning all! Thanks so much for coming and trying out! Welcome to everyone new and welcome back to our returning members! I'm Laili Abrams your captain, and beside me here is Mary Conri-Dechering your vice captain. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to ask one of us, alright? Ok! Tryouts are relatively simple; I'll split everyone into two teams, black and yellow and you'll play whichever position you were given to the best of your abilities. Note, beaters, the only players you're not allowed to aim at are the seekers. Alright, onto the teams. Black team will be Jordan and Shui as chasers, Ilene and Saffron as beaters, Sher as keeper, and Lia as seeker. Yellow team will be Bethany and Maise as chaser, Ollie and Phillip as beaters, Dagrun as keeper, and Brennie as seeker. Good? Ok! Fly three laps then get in position!" Laili cancelled the spell and watched the hopefuls get up and into the air before releasing the bludgers, practice snitch, and quaffle. She hoped Mary wouldn't mind being grounded to observe for the first round.

☙❧Lia snickered as Bethany ran up just as Laili was making her speech talking about her crazy family. "Eh, they're still psychotic they just don't chase me." she cackled. When she got placed, she shot her friend a good luck thumbs up before jumping onto her broom to complete her laps before starting to look for the snitch.

Brennie waited in the growing crowd for any further instructions. A few small conversations popped up, but he decided he'd be better off stretching and getting ready for the game. When Laili stood front and center for the announcement, the brunette paused, turning to listen to her. She said the beaters weren't to aim at the seekers, but otherwise rules applied. Good ol' Laili, making sure he and Lia didn't get hurt! After they were put onto teams, Brennie took to the air. He did his three laps, then began on his search. It was going to be a friendly competition between himself and Lia, but that didn't mean he didn't want to win!

Saffron turned her attention to Laili when she addressed all of them. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous about this whole thing and feeling nervous was not something she did often. Saf frowned slightly when she and Maisie had been split up, but that was alright, she could manage on her own for a bit. She watched two of the older players mount their brooms and mimicked them, flying the three laps as instructed before flying toward the middle of the pitch. Saffron knew she couldn't hit the seekers, although she didn't really want to hit anyone. Although, she supposed it could be fun, once she got the hang of it. Once everyone was in the air, she took stock of her choices. Saffron figured the best option would be to hit a chaser - or attempt to - because they were the ones scoring all the points. She flew toward a bludger and prepared her bat to redirect the ball toward Bethany, figuring that she would be comfortable hitting someone she didn't actually know, rather than someone she did.
