Kimberly grinned when the Quaffle slid into her hands as she blocked the shot. It was a mixed feeling, because she was happy that she caught the shot, but she was unhappy because it was against Aleah of all people. Sure, Gid had his gimpy legs and all, but Aleah looked as if she was about to fall apart at the seams just being there! Kim tossed the ball to Joel, trying to push the thoughts out of her head.

Gid watched as Aleah practically broke in half just catching the quaffle. He cringed and flew as close to her as possible, hoping she wouldn't break. She threw, but Kim caught really easily. He watched the girl toss to Joel, so he took the reigns, diving in hope of an interception.

Aleah sighed at her crappy shot. She was bad at playing Chaser obviously. But she didn't particularly want to play chaser anyways. Seeker was easier on her body. She casually popped her shoulder and elbow back into place. Barely even wincing at it. Her ribs were only subluxed and that happened all the time anyways so she ignored it. She zoomed off after the ball and reached out to grab it. She wasn't about to let anything get in her way. She had been told all her life that she couldn't do this or that etc. But if being sick had taught her anything, it was that she could do anything. She reached up to try and intercept the ball.

Pru checked the watch she'd brought with her. They were nearing the end of their allotted time for tryouts, and they weren't the only team that needed to use the pitch. It was time to wrap this up. She called another timeout, but before landing said, loud enough for them all to hear, "I need everyone to help put equipment away before anyone goes anywhere." Hopefully she could trust the majority of them to listen to her and not just slink off while she was talking to Joel about the team.

Joel stepped onto the pitch on a mission. He had seen how tryouts had been handled, and what had gone on with all of the team hopefuls. He was entirely convinced that most people didn't realize that they should try to be more flexible than they were. That, and they should choose something other than beater or seeker. He was leaving this year, and he didn't want to leave Gid with a slot open because everyone else couldn't seem to try out for chaser. They had seekers, they had beaters, those always got filled fast. He was just hoping that someone actually would get it into their heads that all the positions were important."Alright people! Just grab a form and fill it out. I don't want to see brooms in the air just yet. Also, if you have intentions on being a seeker or a beater, I will warn you right now that I can and will stick you where I believe you will do the most good for the team. If that means you don't get either position, then I don't want to see attitudes flare up."He settled down and waited for people to do as asked, knowing he probably wasn't going to be a popular captain, but he was going to try his best in making sure that his team was the best. Anything else wasn't an option for him.

Aleah hobbled onto the pitch and dropped her cane to grab the paperwork before flopping to the ground to fill it out and hand it back in. She was excited for this year. It was going to be a good year. She could just feel it. She had even better motion with her joints now, she didn't dislocate as often, and she was excited to actually do better at quidditch. She handed in the paperwork and started stretching out her muscles... her muscles that was nice to say. She wasn't used to having real muscles that actually worked and stuff. PT had helped a lot over summer, and with it her mood had also improved... except around Bas.. He just had a way of making her grumpy and she didn't know why! It hadn't been like that last year!

Gid followed Joel to the Pitch, prepared to help as best he could. It was time for Quidditch to begin. He had to get really familiar with the job of a Captain this year, since it was his only year of Vice Captancy before he was in charge. Luckily, Joel had had a ton of work with Pru. The older Chaser gave a small speech, saying, to no end, that if they had overflow in certain positions, they'd be put where they were needed. Gid adjusted and balanced against one crutch so he could hover his broom beside him. It was difficult to hold the broom and his crutches. He hoped they could win, if only so Joel would have an awesome last season. If they could clutch the cup, that'd be a pretty cool sendoff. Gid shook his head, returning to reality. He looked at Joel, then awkwardly nodded to the people on the pitch.

Aster wasn't really concerned about making the team, since she'd been a starting beater for a while now. She just hoped there wasn't any unnecessary drama at tryouts what with the shift in captaincy. Usually Aster enjoyed drama, but not when it came to Quidditch. Pru, even if she'd been a hardarse at times, had been a fairly stabilizing force. Then again, it wasn't like Joel was very wishy-washy, and he was definitely putting his foot down. Good. She didn't need some first year throwing a tantrum and pissing themselves because they couldn't make first string beater. From the looks of it Gid was vice captain, and she rolled her eyes at his awkward nod. They all knew who he was. She grabbed a form and set about filling it out, then started her stretches.

Fianna Grey Gryffindor โ Third Year โ Thirteen Years Old โ Single โ Reserve Seeker
Yeah, Fianna had waited all summer for today, the start of the season, and she made sure she was up this morning, had eaten, and her broomstick was ready for flight. She'd put last season behind her, and was ready to embrace the promise which came with the start of a new season. Fianna hoped she could make the team now that Joel was running the show. Arriving just in time to hear his announcement kinda made her blanch a bit; while it was good he was putting his foot down now, it made her wonder if there was stuff going on she hadn't heard about.
"Hi, Joel," she said, as she approached and collected a form. After a moment's work, she had it back to him.

Looking around, she saw several people already there, including Aleah, whom Fianna knew would challenge her for the Seeker spot if Ivy didn't tryout this year, and that was assuming Joel didn't have other plans for her. More than anything, Fianna wanted to be part of the team and be useful.

Essie bit her lip, brightening the color of her lips under the light coat of lip gloss if her father found out she was experimenting with he would ground her for months: she was nervous. Gryffindor always had brave souls ready to join the team so why should they accept an inexperienced second year. She was decency strong from the adventures she had at home when she would do more than just quietly study the bible but instead climb up some tree and study from that perch. She wasn't sure that was enough. And she felt so odd wearing pants but it was only practical. She reminded her of her and Rich's conversation and taking a deep breath approached Joel and took the application and handing it back and said, "I know I'm not going to be that great but... I hope you at least consider me and ahead of time thanks for letting me try out."

Desmond was always interested in sports. There wasn't any sport he hadn't played, before today that is. After asking around for sports, he heard about this game called Quidditch. How hard could it be, right? Not knowing much about any of it, Desmond walked into the pitch and filled out a form before handing it back to the guy in charge. "Here you go... I, er... Think I filled it out right." In all honesty, he barely knew the positions beyond Chaser, Seeker, and Keeper. He only cared about scoring and winning. Let's go Gryffindor!

Mackenzie arrived on the pitch with her new broomstick, ready to tryout for seeker again. She was sure she could do better than last year. Her hopefulness died down, however, as soon as Joel, the captain, announced that those who were trying out for seeker โ and beater โ would most likely not make either position. The twelve year old bit her bottom lip lightly, debating whether she should event seeker on her first choice position. She made reserve chaser last year, and would most likely make that spot again. Especially if she actually put it down as her first choice instead of giving somebody else the chance to say they want it and then to get it. After filling out her form, she handed it in to Joel before making her way to Essie, who was apparently trying out for the team this year. โHey, Essie!โ she called with a bright smile. โExcited?โ
