Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
But home's looking farther the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end, is it over yet?
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
They tell me it ain't that bad
Now don't you overreact
So I just hold my breath, don't know why
I can't see the sun when young should be fun (fun)

After the last year of quidditch, Jonah was left in higher spirits. Sure, it had taken him until the last game of the season to make a hit, and sure, he may have gotten the bludger swung right back at him, but hey. At least he made progress. Even he had to admit after it was over it made for a funny story to tell his sister.
This time around, Jonah was ready and raring to give it a hundred and ten percent. He hoped, by the end of his time at Hogwarts, Ravenclaw might just be able to take claim to the house cup. Stepping over to the table, he waved in greeting to his upperclasswomen and went about filling out his form with the usual information.

You said, oh girl, it's a cold world

I said, you can't hide on the inside

Nico was not having a great start to the year. He was in a foul mood alot, still hadn't picked a pet that 'spoke' to him, and him and sam had a fight and were still mad at each other. Even his hair seemed indecisive on what his mood was. It changed more on it own but his hopefully temporary default was a dull olive color. Hopefully he wouldn't have a repeat of last year. He wouldn't blame the team if the didn't want him. Filling out a form he hoped flying would help clear his head

Sonora hurried down to the Quidditch Pitch, excited for a change of pace. She'd been previewing her books again just in case, and had gotten caught up reading her cursebreaking textbook and--in any case, it looked like she hadn't missed tryouts entirely so everything was okay.
"Hello!" she greeted Jonah with a smile and friendly bump on the shoulder. "Ready to show those bludgers who's boss?"

Jonah startled at the sudden contact, entire body tensing in reflex, as if he was already getting the smack down from the bludgers. His attention shot towards the qudditch box, and sure enough, everything was safely locked up. Well, of course it was. He was beginning to thinking maybe last year had affected him more than he thought, but if anything, that should only help him. The anxiety of a bludger hit would only serve to make him work that much harder. In any case, whatever had just bumped into him certainly couldn’t have been one of the balls anyway—it was entirely too gentle for that.
It was then he realized a cheery voice had been talking to him, and he hadn’t caught a word of it! He turned to Sonora and instantly relaxed, giving a shy smile. “Uh, yes?” He replied, hoping that would be the right answer. Judging by her expression, that seemed to be where she was getting at, so he tried again more confidently. “Yes. Absolutely.” ‘What exactly did I just agree to...?’
Jonah shook his head, shrugging off the conversation. He needed a change of topic, and quick. Placing his hands against Sonora’s cheeks, he pinched at them playfully in a huff. “Hey, where in Merlin’s name were you? I was looking all over the place this morning! I thought we were going to walk together. First we missed each other on the train, then the carriages, now this? We’re starting to make a habit of this and I don’t like it. Not one bit.” Any missed opportunity for quality time with his best girl was a tragic loss, as far as he was concerned.
Iggy strolled up and Jonah was quick to let go of Sona, flushing both in embarrassment and also... Well, it was Iggy. The blond had admitted to Ves and August the year prior he'd thought one of his dormmates was cute, and unfortunately for him, things just seemed to escalate from there once he realized he didn't like just girls. Jonah tried his best to ignore the little crush, figuring it would go away on its own, like when he'd fancied Vespera, for... The entirety of first year, and then some. Ugh. Iggy wasn't just his friend, but his roommate! Not cool.
"Nothing!" He'd replied instantly when he released Sona's face, moving to instead pick up his abandoned broom from the ground. "We were just talking about how I couldn't find anyone this morning. Are you ready for tryouts?" He smiled, "I hope we can all make the main team this time. It'd be way more fun that way." 'I'd be lucky if they let me back in, after last year, though.'

Sonora giggled merrily at Jonah's spaced out reaction and then a more confident declaration. "That's the spirit!"
She was a little startled then he pinched her cheeks, and worried she'd done something wrong--oh of course. "Oh! I was with Iggy and Kam! Ves was with us as well for a bit but disappeared on the train. I thought she'd be back, but then she just vanished--did she find you?" Her expression dropped even though her voice was still positive, betraying that she felt sad and even apologetic about it all. Fortunately she had Iggy and Kam otherwise the entire trip back to Hogwarts would have been very strange indeed. But she should have gone to find them at the Hogsmeade station at least. She'd headed up to the common room early in hopes of catching Jonah at least before bedtime, but had gotten wrapped up browsing textbooks for core classes and had missed him anyways.
The only thing that cheered her up about this was that Jonah didn't like it either-- she ought to be upset he was upset, but it somehow made her a little happy. She gave him a tight hug in reply once he let her cheeks go. "Okay! We'll definitely catch each other next time!" She pulled away with a wide grin and turned delightedly to greet Iggy.
"Iggy! Hello!" Sonora nodded along to Jonah's enthusiasm about making them all making the actual team. "Yes! Beater and Chaser," she dubbed them, beaming at her friends. She'd still written seeker as her primary position, but thought--and honestly hoped--Edgar would reprise his role as seeker. She still had so much to learn from him in his last two years. Plus even after that, she was sure Nico would be seeker before her. That didn't really bother Sonora though. She liked playing reserve-- there was a certain thrill not knowing what role she might be called for-- and she liked just being able to fly with the rest of the team.
Part of her though, still thought it would be amusing to heart her cousin commentate on her playing. Thinking about August and Iggy brought a giggle to a face again. She explained: "I learned this morning that August is still very wary of another tickle attack from you, Iggy. He calls you 'Tickles' and was muttering about how he needs better strategies for telling 'Who is Tickles and who is Safe'. "

spaceCharley joined her teammates out on the pitch, taking a form from Kiery and filling it out quickly before beginning a few stretches. The captain was kind of weird and always made them start tryouts with yoga, so she figured she might as well get a jump start. Even though yoga was supposed to relax you, which was probably not the best thing for a beater, in her opinion. Then again, the team's lack of success could definitely be more attributed to inexperience than any failing on Kiery's part, not that the older girl could see that. Hopefully they had a better season this year; it would be nice if she could graduate with a win. Or at least not a total failure to score and hit the other team on the part of the chasers and beaters, respectively.

Loke knew he was likely to get creamed during tryouts, but between his uncles and aunt playing, his cousin playing, and every other thing he'd heard over the years, he figured he had a decent shot. Now, whether he had the skills to get onto the team, that was up for debate. However, he was willing to try, and took a sheet to fill out and hand in before he started stretching. Hey, if it didn't work out, he could always become an announcer. His dad had been, and according to him, he'd given the best commentary in the school.

Tyler got to the pitch and quickly filled out a form. Glancing around, he noticed there were an awful lot of people today. Either he was imagining things, or it seemed like the nerd house had gotten a few jocks in its ranks. Not like he was going to complain. He settled down after filling the form out to go ahead and stretch.

spaceAs usual, there wasn't much of a turn out for Ravenclaw. Kiery tried not to read too much into that vis a vis her captaining capabilities, but it was hard not to wonder if it was partially her fault. Maybe she should've been more obnoxious trying to recruit new players or something. But, it was a bit late now, and they had enough people, at least. Although, looking over everyone's forms, she couldn't help but notice how... uneven they were, position-wise. She hoped for Maisie's sake that more would-be chasers showed up next year. Otherwise she might be in some trouble. But, she couldn't worry about that now.
spaceShe took a minute to collect her thoughts, then got everyone's attention with a loud (magically enhanced) whistle. "Alright, guys, listen up! I'm Kiery Hemlock, your team captain. Over here is Maisie Thorburn, your Vice Captain. Before we jump into tryouts, I wanna lead everybody in some exercises to help get us all warmed up and stretched out." She did a very basic explanation of appropriate breathing techniques and posture, then lead the team through the usual sun salutation a couple of times. She knew a few team members were probably rolling their eyes at her, but she didn't care. This was how she best knew how to approach it. It was her last year, she didn't want to worry about coming up with a whole new system right now.
space"Okay, now that we're all limbered up and stretched out, we're going to run three laps around the pitch, then take another three on our brooms. Once the laps have been run and flown, we'll be splitting up for tryouts." She took a moment to run through her plans in her head, making sure she had everything straight before she messed up while saying it. "Okay, so! Keepers and Chasers will be split up into teams for a scrimmage. Blue team is going to be Leah and Eirian as Chasers, Benjamin as Keeper. Bronze team is going to be Iggy and Tyler as Chasers, Canaan as Keeper." She paused, meeting her classmate's eyes sheepishly. "I know you're usually on keeper, Tyler, but I figure you're experienced enough to even the teams out," she said with an apologetic smile, then gave her head a light shake.
spaceFiguring it wouldn't do to linger too long, lest someone question her and really bring this house of cards down on her head, she continued on. "We have three beaters and three seekers, so I'm going to do something a little different with that. You'll be paired up with each other into three mini 'teams'. Charley, you're with Loke, Lillith with Sona, and Jonah with Nico. Seekers will be doing their thing while the beaters defend them and try to take the other players out." She thought about trying to assign colors, but what colors would she even use? ... Oh! "Uh, team colors, we'll just... use the other houses colors. So, Charley and Loke are Yellow, Lillith and Sona are Red, and Jonah and Nico are Green."
spacePleased that she'd come up with a solution, she relaxed slightly. "Okay, with that done, we're gonna do the laps. Once everyone's done, meet in the middle to start the scrimmages, and Maisie and I will be observing." With that, she released the team to start their laps.
