spaceJasmine made her way out to the Quidditch pitch with an unusually enthusiastic spring in her step. The team had preformed pretty damn well the year before, if she did say so herself. There'd been a bit of shakiness on her part, but given that the source was all sorted out, she didn't see it being an issue anymore. Their seeker had graduated, but she was alright with that; Fianna had been on reserve long enough that she'd gotten plenty of practice, after all. And, as much as Jazzy might like Ivy, the redhead hadn't been that great. She tried, sure, but... well, it'd been sort of amazing that she'd won two games last year. And one of them was against Rhys, which made it all the more surprising. Jazzy was chalking that up to the rain, though she'd never say that to Ivy's face.
spaceThe sixth year gave Aster an enthusiastic wave before flouncing up to Gid, impetuously ruffling his hair before she grabbed a form and, just as she had the year before, stepped behind him to use his back as a table to fill it out on."How're you doing?"she asked carefully, not wanting to sound overly concerned and freak him out if he were fine, but wanting to check in on him, just in case he wasn't."I mean, you've got this. You know you've got this, right?"It wasn't like he didn't have help. She might not be Vice Captain, but she'd been playing since second year, and he knew she had good judgement. Plus he had Kim, who she was certain was going to be a good Vice Captain for him. Not to mention all the, ahem, opinions that a certain younger player was bound to voice if the need arose. Jazzy got it, Eve's da had played pro and even been a captain. And she had some good advice because of that, sure. But she was never going to admit that to the child's face, because Merlin no one needed that ego to swell. The girl might stage a coup. And where did she even get off doing that, when she dressed like she was in Slytherin half the time?

spaceSebastian would do literally anything to get Eve to leave him alone. He'd kill a man if it made her go away. Except, no, he was pretty sure it wouldn't, instead she'd decide that somehow made him cooler (only slightly, she'd never think he wasn't Mels' dorky loser older brother) and offer to help him hide the body. He wouldn't even need her help. He'd just do like Ada kept joking Jason would when he inevitably committed a murder and use the corpse to fertilize a tree. No one'd ever find it then. Maybe his sister's Whomping Willow... Except he was pretty sure her, Chris, and the twins would be able to smell that, and he wouldn't want to make them live with corpse-smell in their backyard.
spaceHe grit his teeth in agitation as the younger girl prattled on, desperately wishing that her sudden rebellion against her parents had included her not trying out for Quidditch this year. Unfortunately, he was pretty sure it'd take literal death to keep her from trying out... or maybe not even that. She was bound and determined to be a vampire, and had Mels determined to do the same. Nutters. He'd considered it once, when he was really young. He'd wanted Chris to turn the whole family, so he never had to lose anyone again. But that was insane, and he had quickly realized he had no desire to be a vampire.
spaceSuddenly, he was slapped upside the head. Clutching the spot, he shot Eve a glare."The hell was that for?"he asked, trying to trip her as they walked.
spaceShe hopped easily over his extended leg, snorting."You weren't listening,"she said simply."I'm discussing very important strategy maneuvers with you, and you're totally ignoring me, you bloody prat."
spaceSebastian rolled his eyes."Fat lot of good listening would do me,"he pointed out,"As neither you nor I are captain, or vice captain, or in any position of authority, and our positions don't interact in a way in which we could 'strategize' anything useful together."
spaceThe second year huffed at him, crossing her arms."You and Gid're all buddy-buddy, though,"she pointed out."So, I can discuss things with you, and then you can suggest them to him, and then, wow, look at that, you guys might actually score some goals."
spaceBy then, the pair had reached the small gathering of their teammates. Bas short Eve an annoyed look as he took a form from the captain."We score goals just fine,"he muttered, offering Gid a small salute before he went to fill the form out.

spaceAiobheal barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and blow a raspberry at Sebastian when he stalked off to fill out his form. Dramatic, much? She'd been trying to help him, the jerk! It wasn't her fault if she happened to have highly specialized information regarding the thing he claimed he wanted to do professionally. Newsflash, playing pro quidditch meant using pro strategies! Like the ones she was trying to explain to him! She wanted her team to win, dammit, they couldn't do that if Bas didn't score. Or, they could win the games, sure. But they wouldn't win the cup! Sometimes she wondered if anyone else even cared. Sebastian sure as hell ought to, since he was supposed to be trying to go pro after he graduated! Then again, maybe his girlfriend had made such a stink about it that he'd given up on the idea to keep the peace.
spaceShe sighed, then flashed Gid a dazzling smile before waving over his shoulder at Jazzy."Hey, Gid, Jazz. How's the team looking this year?"She knew that it was weird to some people, she was only a third year but she acted like she owned the pitch. But she couldn't help it if she actually knew what the hell she was doing and talking about. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that Kim was two years ahead of her, she'd be mad she'd been the one Gid had picked for Vice Captain. But, there wasn't anyone saying Kim wouldn't pick her when Gid graduated, right? She was an obvious choice. Even if she'd only ever played reserve, she was still the most informed on actual strategy and all that important stuff. Everyone else was working off experience they had since starting the team here at school. She had been learning the ins and outs of Quidditch, from a professional, not some super fan, since she was seven. She had an edge. People should appreciate it.

Jillian had read up on quidditch as soon as she learned about it. She was especially interested in the beater and seeker positions. She wanted to try and make her houses team. She went to the place where the brooms where held and chose one that she got good vibes from, maybe this was her lucky broom? She nearly ran onto field and up to the person that looked like they where the captain. "HI! I'm Jillian and I was told this is where we tryout" Said the smaller than was normal Gryffindor eagerly. She was bouncy and excited to get going when she was handed a form. She sat right where she was standing to fill it out. After filling it in she handed it back.

As much as she hated waking up early, Lucy managed to force herself out of bed in order to get to the Quidditch tryouts on time. She wasn't passionate about the sport like Alec was, but she saw no harm in trying out and seeing what it lead her to, and if it made her school life more interesting, then why not? Plus, it would be fun to try out with her best friend; she just hoped she didn't do too badly as it was her first time playing.
When she arrived at the Quidditch pitch, Lucy saw that a crowd of students had already gathered and she spotted Alec standing away from them all. She smiled and shook her head, typical. She waved at Gideon as she approached him, filling in the form he handed out before joining Alec. "Morning," she greeted him, "I blame you for me waking up this early by the way," she added jokingly. She took out a hair tie and tried to pull her hair back into a ponytail, she did not want it all over her face as she flew around. "Which position are you trying out for?"

Kimberly skipped onto the field, her broom in tow, along with some other various supplies for tryouts. Gideon had insisted on gathering the equipment himself, but she had taken the time to ask the nurse for a few healing potions to keep their players' in the air after a few Bludger hits. The brunette approached her Captain, setting her broom and the potions down. "Hey Gid, Jazzy, Eve. Beautiful day for tryouts, don't you think?" she asked, grinning up at the sunny skies. Kim took a form and filled it out for herself. Just because she was the Vice Captain didn't mean she was exempt from doing the paperwork. She added her form to the pile of them, then looked around the Pitch. A lot of old faces, a few new ones. One especially stuck out in her mind. "It's great to see you here, Jilly! You'll do great," she said to the First Year. Kim had met her at the Sorting feast and almost instantly took the girl under her wing, just like Pru and Gid had done to her. Now it was her turn to do the mentoring.

Brianna felt a couple butterflies fluttering in her stomach, but that didn't mean she wasn't excited to try out although she was sure her brother wasn't. Mackenzie and Bree spent all evening trying to convince Colton to try out with them, but the blonde was 99.99% sure he hadn't changed his mind. Oh well, that didn't stop her from trying out even if she knew she wouldn't make the team. First years never did, according to her brother's friend, at least not in Gryffindor since a ton of students always tried out. Whatever, she'd be getting the experience and training anyway, right? Stepping onto the pitch, practically bouncing with every step she took, the blonde smiled to her at everyone around her. "Hi!" she exclaimed at no one in particular; however, she noticed another first year there as well. Taking note of the form in Jillian's hand, Brianna realized she probably needed to fill out one as well, so she did before joining the eleven year old. "What position are you trying out for?" she asked curiously.

Mackenzie arrived on the pitch, greeted her old teammates and potential new teammates with a smile and a perky "Good morning!" then filled out a form before handing it to Gid. She decided she'd be bold and try to get that seeker position she'd been dreaming of since before even attending Hogwarts. Hopefully, Gid would actually give her the position, she'd even be happy with the reserve position. The thirteen year old knew she could do a much better job at seeking than chasing, even though she's been doing that for the last two years. She still sucked, though.

Jillian spun around when she heard her name called "KIM! Hi! I sure hope so. I got may form filled out." She said. She planed to do her best but even if she didnt make the team she would practice and try again next year. She had six more to go for. She liked to play sports and flying classes where a blast so why not do both! She heard somone from her own year ask what position she was going for. "Hopefully Beater, I swing really good when I play baseball so beater seems like a good idea, if I cant do that seeker sounded good too. I great at finding tiny things, expecilly shiny ones."

Brandon stepped onto the pitch and made a beeline to the forms, nodding to his teammates and filling out the form before handing it back to Gid. He was eternally grateful that Phoebe didn't have an interest in quidditch, because he hated the idea of having to either aim at her, or being aimed at by her. Which, considering she was vicious when she was mad, was pretty possible. He walked over to Kim and a first year, grinning and rubbing the back of his head as he fought off the the beginnings of a blush. Ugh, this was awful."Hey Kim, um, person I probably already forgot the name of. Um, not an insult, trust me. I just have a bad memory for names. What's up?"He knew he had heard the name during the Sorting, and could hazard a guess as to what year she was in, but that was it. One of these days, he wasn't going to have that problem, but today was not that day.

Annie came running down to the pitch with her hair tied back and her broom in hand missing the thrill of participation more than she'd originally thought. Her uncle had gotten whiff of her grades, they weren't bad per se just not up to snuff, and had made her quit playing in order to get grounded for her OWL's. She'd made him promise that if she passed more than two thirds of her tests then she'd be able to play again and when he'd agreed she studied like her life was about to end. Which it sort of was. She'd nearly gone berserk staying in the common room or the library reading or studying with no outlet for her energy. Now though, she could finally play again! Even if it was just as a backup player, she honestly didn't care. She just wanted to play! "Hey Gid! Hope you don't mind me coming back." she told her friend eagerly grabbing a slip to fill out.

Kim grinned at her newest friend. She seemed so excited to be there, and from what she knew about her, Kim could tell that she was athletic and loved to fly as well. Good, they needed that kind of positive energy on the team. "Awesome! Make sure you stretch out before we get started. You don't want to pull a muscle or hurt yourself," she said with a nod. Kim was starting to feel like a mama duck, and Jilly was one of her baby ducks. Cute! Speaking of cute, the brunette was soon joined by her classmate, bringing a blush to her cheeks. "Oh, hey Brandon. This is Jilly. And, uh, not much is up with me. Just tryouts and all that. But that's kinda obvious... Uh, yeah... What's up with you? Classes going okay?" Really, why was it so hard to talk to him? They had been friends for years. Sure, he really only just began to remember her name, but that was beside the point.

✮Sιхтн Yeαr✮Gryғғιɴdor✮Cнαѕer✮ ✮Preғecт✮αɴd✮Cαpтαιɴ✮ Gid stood in the center of the pitch, watching all the people file in. As they returned forms to him, he jot them down in his own paperwork, making note to put them on various practice teams. When Jazzy walked over, he offered a shaky grin, trying not to look too nervous. it didn't take a second thought from the girl before she pushed him forward a bit and used him as a table... again. He simply issued a sigh, letting her continue without a fuss. She asked how he was doing, and honestly, he had to hold back a terrified laugh. "I've had better days. Most of these people I know, so far. I'm just... afraid I'll mess up so bad it can't be redeemed." He chuckled, looking at the ground for a few seconds before looking up again. Jazzy spoke up again, saying he had this and asking if he knew he had it. "I have something, I'm sure. Still working on figuring out just what that is." When she handed over her papers, he added it to the stack, then scribbled down which team she would be on.
After Jazzy stepped away, Bas did a silly salute, which Gid returned with an amused grin. That kid was always sweet, so if it meant being a bit silly, he'd be glad to be just as silly. Unfortunately for poor Bas, it had looked like he and the girl he was with, Eve, had been arguing over something. Vaguely, the sixth year wondered what they'd been discussing, but felt it best not to ask. Eve then asked how the team looked, so Gid glanced side to side, then shrugged. "Well, as of now, we're still waiting for everyone to show up. I'm sure we'll know before too long, but it'll all depend how well we do in tryouts." He nodded, feeling a bit better about his captaincy. He just had to stay perfectly level-headed. A few more people walked over, followed by Kim. Gid offered her a pleasant grin, then nodded when she said it was beautiful. "It is a beautiful day to play, I do agree. Just hope the skies stay this nice through our games." He laughed a bit at that one, fully prepared to play in the bitter cold of Scotland winters. A few more hellos, and Annie asking to be let back in the team, and finally, Gid decided it was time to take to the air.
Gideon stepped forward, clearing his throat to try and gain attention. "Hello everyone, and welcome to this year's quidditch tryouts. First of all, let me say thank you all for taking time out of your day to come join us. Now, before we begin, I want everyone to realize that being on this team means being dedicated to it. No wild parties, no fighting other members... basically don't be dumb. But in addition, you will be required to be at all our practices and all the games, barring some sort of horrible illness or injury. Please remember that if you miss practices and show up late... you will be letting the team down. Reserve or Starting, you guys are all incredibly important, and thus, I thank you. I thank you for your promise of commitment." He paused, taking a second to look at everyone. There were enough people to nearly make two full teams, but it would mean there would be a ton of reserves. Reserve spots were usually hard to come by, but he felt they'd be fine this year, and that Kim would have a great start.
"Now, onto our tryouts today. I have you all sorted into two teams. There will be two beaters, two chasers, a seeker, and a keeper on each, with an extra beater on one because we have an odd number. The only one not playing is myself, and that's because Kim is a lot better at playing and writing than I am. So for today, stretch out, then we'll do three laps on foot, followed by three laps in the air. Our teams will be sorted as such: Red team - Jazzy and Brandon as Beaters; Alec and Annie will be Chasers; Kim, I'm going to have you mind the goals as Keeper; and Mackenzie, you're going to be the Seeker. For the Gold team - Aster, Eve, and Jillian, you three are the Beaters; Bas and Breanna, you're the Chasers; Lucinda will be the Keeper; and Fianna will be Seeker." He looked at everyone, prepared to see how they needed to move around in order to make the best sets of people. For now, he'd watch and take notes of everything that happened. "One last thing... I got a ton of healing potions and medical stuff. I'm giving some to Kim, but I'll have the majority of it. If you need anything at all, and I do mean anything, please come let me know. Do not put stubbornness or pride ahead of your own wellbeing. Don't be stupid up there. Now, hats off! Let's get this underway! I'll be here to ask any questions or to dole out any advice I have." He clapped his hands, then watched the team start to run off as he latched himself onto his broom.

Alec rolled his eyes at Lucy's comment, but was prevented from telling her what position he was trying out for when the captain finally spoke up. Making note of what team he was on, he tried to contain his excitement, as he'd barely gotten to fly at all over the summer, and even if he'd be on a cruddy school broom, he was determined to out-fly at least the other second and first years. He went up for the quaffle.
