As time ticked away off of the clock, Dani concentrated on locating the Snitch.

Julius grinned as he spotted the snitch and pushed forward hoping that Danica wasn't quite as close on his tail this time, even if he had caught the snitch last time.

Location: Pitch - Quidditch Try-outs

Falling to steal the quaffle Leonette was happy when Alex caught it. When her classmate tossed her the ball the brunette raced off towards the goal. Luckily Ronna had her back as she advanced down the pitch. She knew she couldn't hang onto it for long. "Bella!" she called out tossing the quaffle to her teammate. Hopefully they'd be able to get it to the goal posts.

As before, Dani saw Julius took off in a particular direction, while she'd yet to see even a hint of their elusive quarry. Shaking her head in dismay, she launched herself after Julius, hoping he'd spotted the little golden ball. 'Its all I got,' she thought grimly. 'I'm playing off of Julius, because its the best chance I've got.' As she flew after Red Team's Seeker, she concentrated her search to wherever his attention was seemingly focused upon.

Julius made a small 'tsk' though he smiled as Danica chased after him. The competition was half the fun after all.

Celaena was not happy... At all, when she missed the steal. And the Leo passed to Rosa. She would get it this time! Julius was doing so well! She had to do something right!

As Dani pursued Julius, she spotted the Snitch. With a little bit of desperation creeping in, she slammed her broomstick into a hard dive, as she attempted to make up the distance between them.

Rosabella caught the quaffle in midair and continued down the pitch. She was determined to get to the goalposts this time. Hopefully the fourteen year old could evade the opposing chasers for a while longer.

Julius continued after the snitch closing in-just another few feet and he could reach out to close his hand on the elusive golden snitch. He had to quick, too, because Danica was closing in fast. If he failed it would open it up for her to catch instead, no doubt about it.

Arianna gasped feeling like a fish out of water for a minute as the black ball of pain struck her ribcage. She had watched the bludger fly towards her from the older Beater. Ari had attempted to move out of its way but the hit was well placed and with no expertise she had no chance. It was her first hit ever and the sensation was a new and excruciating one. Ari attempted to breath through the pain and continue on.

She wound up and held her breath as she attempted to hit Nina with a bludger. She felt a little bad doing it but she hadn't been touched yet.

Julius smiled finally close enough to reach out and grab the snitch. He stretched out his arm and closed his hand on where he had seen the snitch half a second before his hand closed...

When Rosabella got to the goalposts, she threw the quaffle. If she was lucky enough to avoid the other chasers, maybe he could also be lucky enough to score.

Julius grin widened as his hands closed over the snitch and he held it up and said simply, "I caught the snitch!" He lowered his hand and opened his hand letting the snitch flit off figuring that he and Danica had a few more minutes still before try-outs were over. And regardless of who made the first line or what not, it was still good for both of them to have the practice. Julius could only hope his multiple successes and the fact he was the only reserve would help him on the team-and then when it came to games he would have as good of odds in catching the snitch.

Seventh Year Gryffindor

[Gryffindor Try-Outs]


Crash would admit, he hadn't been keeping a close eye on the chasers in those last few minutes. His sights were upwards on the seekers as Julius advanced closer and closer to the elusive winged ball. But right as the fourth year was about to reach out for it, he heard the whoosh of a quaffle being flung. He stretched, flung himself in front of that red ball but he was just too slow. It sunk through the hoop and he was forced to steer his broom around and chase after it. ”Good shot,” he nodded. He stole a moment to glance at his wrist watch, their time on the pitch was almost over. He might as well call the end of the game while the snitch was caught and the quaffle was in his hands.

”Alright ya'll, gather round.” He instructed, touched down to midfield and waved the players down beside him. ”I want to thank you guys for trying out for the team, you all did a great job. If you borrowed a broom, be sure to return it, as for the rest of you, you can get on out o' here. Me an Toby will have the results posted on the bulletin boards so keep an eye out. The first game of the season is Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff, don't forget!”
