Gryffindor Quidditch Practice: Tryouts Open [[Jun-Aug 2024]]

[kiska166]

Alexandria snickered when Rosabella had passed to the wrong players. Idiot, she thought with a roll of her eyes. Well, that meant the chasers were about to come for her and try to score again, so the keeper got back into position and waited. The waiting didn't stop however, for Leonette stole the ball and flew towards the other goalposts. A moment later, Crash's voice echoed throughout the entire pitch. Break time!

Happy with how she played, Alexandria landed with a grin on her features. So far, so good. The brunette scanned the players for their captain, and she was going to talk to him until she realized that he was rather busy helping the injured. What a bunch of babies. They can't wait till after? By the time everyone felt better, the next tryouts started. A small pout formed on the girl's lips at the sound of both her and Crash playing as keepers. That meant he's on the complete other side of the pitch! ..But that also meant she could stare directly at him while the chasers battled it out in the middle of the pitch.

You won't know anything unless you try
Might end up falling, but you just might fly
You know it's all about what you believe
And maybe something extra up your sleeve

((OOC: outfit in left picture))

I won't be whining about what might've been
You know I'm not too big on giving in
I use whatever spell the law allows
That is of course, if I know how

When Crash called for a break, Dani was actually grateful for the chance to catch her breath, or rather she tried to. Every draw of air sent white-hot shards of pain through her. She coughed, and was unsurprised when she was rewarded with a mass of bloody phlegm. 'Yeah, definitely broke at least one rib,' she thought. 'Not packing it in yet. I'll lose their respect if I don't stay in it now.'

Crash decided to change things up a bit, and she was called upon to practice being a Seeker, as she had at last term's tryout. Dani quaffed the healing potion given to her with relish, and then sipped from the bottle of water she got afterward. The pain subsided to a dull ache, and Dani knew from experience a healing potion was no substitute for a visit to the hospital wing when this was all done.

When she ready, Dani pushed off from the ground, and drifted upward toward where the Seekers normally started a game. She waited for the balls to be released before she started looking about for the Snitch.

Julius nodded quietly as he landed and others took healing potions before he was told that competition for the snitch was going to be added: Danica Steward was also to try seeking and catching the snitch. He smiled at the younger girl slightly welcome to the completion: it would just drive him to do better he figured. And when told break was over Julius took off on his broom after Danica and began his search of the field for the snitch.

Julius smiled as he caught sight of a fleck of gold on the field-the snitch-and rushed forward to begin his chase. Now if he could just catch the frustrating thing.

'I'm not seeing squat,' Dani was thinking despairingly, as she diligently scanned the pitch for any sign of the golden ball, which wasn't much larger than a one Pound coin, while perched atop her broomstick high above the ground. What she did see, however, was her competition immediately launching himself in a direction.

Julius was the more experienced Seeker, so it was no shock he spotted the Snitch before her. Figuring it did her no harm, Dani aimed herself and flew in to flank Julius. 'I can't play on the Snitch, but maybe if I play on him, I'll spot the bloody thing,' Dani determined. 'I'll follow him following ... something.'

As Dani chased after Julius, her tactic paid off, as she caught sight of a glint of gold as the autumn sunlight reflected off the tiny ball's metal shell. Quickly realizing she managed to actually spot the Snitch (more than she accomplished last year), Dani crouched low upon her broomstick, to try gaining a few extra precious bits of speed.

Noticing that Danica had managed to spot the snitch-or at least trailing him he continued forward all that more determined. But then again, spotting the snitch was a lot easier than catching the snitch.

❁ ❀ ✿Tanya had just been trailing after Dani when he heard Crash yell for them to stop and flew down curious as to what was about to happen next. She saw the healing potions and bottles of water and gave a grateful hissing sigh of "Yesss" before she grabbed a small bottle of potion (she figured since she only got hit once she shouldn't take the biggest bottle there) and took a shot of the potion before quickly following it with the water to erase the horrid taste in her mouth. She really needed to talk to her mum about how to change the tastes of these things. Listening to their captain as he switched things around, she only nodded and gave a mock salute before jumping back on her broom to see Bella already heading towards the toss up. With a grin, Tanya rushed over and tried to get there first.

After the short break and healing potion had out, Ronna took to the sky again, and as Bella and Tanya went for the quaffle, she shook her head as Tanya managed to get the quaffle. And so, Ronna taking advantage of a nearby bludger sent it towards Tanya with a hit of her bat.

Nina looked over when Crash called them down. The dirty blonde haired girl landed and took a potion. She hadn't been hit but once. She felt alright at least. But she needed to be in top form to be playing Beater with Ronna. She looked up to the other Beater. Man she was going to have so much fun! Jumping on her broom, she looked to Ari who seemed nervous. "Don't worry Ari! You'll do great!" She said happy as she drank some water and got into the air.

And Tanya was in her sights. With the quaffle! Yep, going for... Then Ronna hit Tanya... Oops! The younger girl looked over to the other tea's beaters and aimed for Tobi.

Celaena stopped when Crash ordered for them too. He was handing out potions and giving new areas to start training. The blonde landed and took a potion, having gotten bludgeoned moments before. Shooting into the air. Now on the opposite team, with Tanya. Sounded good. The girl took deep breaths as she flanked tanya. REady and waiting incase someone tried to steal... OR succeeded.

Rosabella was so sure she had the quaffle until she watched Tanya's arm reach out and grab it. What?! At least the dancer's reactions were quick, for Bella managed to stay on the fifth year's trail as soon as she'd taken off in the opposite direction. Reaching out, the fourteen year old attempted to knock the ball out of her opponent's hands.

Rosabella couldn't help but smile at the realization that the quaffle was in her grasp. Spinning around, she headed towards the other side of the pitch.

Location: Pitch - Quidditch Try-outs

Being classed to break Leonette landed on the ground and got a drink. Luckily she hadn't sustained any injuries as of yet. Ronna was good for saving the day on that one. When the teams were called Leonette noted she was on a team with Bella. When her friend managed to get the quaffle from Dani, the fifth year flanked her teammate. If she needed back up she'd be there.
