Gid kept scribbling notes on his clipboard, trying to take into note everyone's preferences, plus their skillset. After they'd played the second scrimmage for a while, Gid was pretty sure he had figured up the best possible team, save possibly shuffling a few people around. He checked his watch again, before whistling as loud as he could. "Alright everyone, it looks like we're done playing today. Sorry for the short second round, but go ahead and hang around. Kim and I are going to discuss the lineup, and I'll announce it here in a minute." He flew to the ground, taking a few seconds to dismount from his broom and walk toward the middle with crutches instead. Sitting on his broom was starting to make his back hurt more than he dared to admit. He was nearly certain that if he told anyone, he'd be asked to resign from the team.
When he got to Kim, the two discussed notes, though he was more trying to sound like he wasn't in pain. He hadn't even played, so he had no valid excuse. While they debated on swapping people around, the two finally came up with a good mix to set as their team. Gid walked back to the middle, their team written out on a sheet of parchment. "Alright everyone, gather 'round. First, I'd like to say good job. You all worked hard to show you could scruff it on the pitch, and you've also proven to know the value of teamwork. Both of these things are critical for our success. Now then, I'm sure you're all just waiting on me to list the team, eh?" He paused, chuckling awkwardly as he looked around. "Alright, joining me as Chasers, we'll have Bas and Brianna. Keeper is, of course, Kim. Beaters will be Jazzy and Brandon. Our Seeker will be Fianna. Everyone else will be a reserve on the team, and as such, are expected to show up to every practice and every game. I'll post a full list up too. If you have any questions or concerns about the team, I'll be here a while longer, or you can catch either myself or Kim around the school." He nodded once, then moved to go and post the team roster.

Brandon sighed as he carried out the box containing all of the balls and forms out to the pitch, already glad that this was his last year playing. He wasn't going to play after this year, and while he'd miss quidditch, he wouldn't miss flying cannonballs aiming for him. Setting up the forms and extra brooms, he settled back, glad that at least Eve had an idea of how to run a team, because he certainly didn't. He was pretty sure that Phoebe had almost laughed herself sick when she heard, and Leon had proceeded to snort in response. He wouldn't miss any of that, that was for sure.

Fianna Grey Gryffindor │ Sixth Year │ Sixteen Years Old │ Single │ Seeker
Fianna made a point of getting out to the pitch in a timely fashion, as she hated getting all rushed when she was supposed to be having a bit of fun. After last year's 'Dash for the Cup' became more like a faceplant for DFL, Fianna was almost of a mind to hang it up and focus on her studies, especially since she knew much of her team's woes centered on her seeming inability to find and catch the Snitch in a timely fashion. In the end she decided not to have her sophomore slump define her career, and worked on her skills in the off-season.
On this particular day, Fianna was wearing an over-sized Gryffindor Tee-shirt over a pink tank-top, faded jeans and a well-worn pair of sneakers with red laces and little golden lion charms. Her long red hair was in its customary Katniss braid with red and gold hair ribbons and lion charms. As was usual, her broomstick was safely tucked away in its case slung over her shoulder.
She was little surprised to see Brandon as Captain, having figured with Gid's graduation that responsibility would devolve upon Kim's shoulders, but leadership changes happened, and she hoped this change-up wasn't a harbinger of another bad season for the Lions. "Hey, Brandon," she said, with a warm smile, as she collected a form and a quill. "Hope we get a good turnout today."

After handing in the form, she added, "Looks like we'll have good flying weather today; maybe it's a good omen." Fianna staked out a bit of ground and started going through her stretches and pre-match warm-up. She just hoped this tryout went better than last year's.

spaceEve was so not going to be late this year. Not even in the interest of making sure Sebastian showed up... not that she'd left him to his own devices. She'd been in his ear all morning, chattering away about tryouts. And when time had come to head down, she'd pounced on the sixth year to get him to come on, already. She was Vice Captain! She couldn't be late!
spaceTruth be told, she was still sort of surprised Brandon had chosen her. For starters, she was surprised he'd needed to choose anyone, because he wasn't supposed to be their captain. Not that she'd asked what had happened, because frankly it hadn't mattered to her. For one, she hadn't really liked Kim as a Vice Captain choice to begin with, given how flaky she could be sometimes. Top that off with the fact that because she'd been flaky, Eve was now Vice Captain, and the fifth year was on cloud nine. She did wonder why Brandon hadn't picked Sebastian, but reasoned it must be because she was the obvious choice. She technically didn't have as much on the pitch experience, sure, since she'd been reserve and only called in when someone went down in the past, but everyone on the team knew she was obviously the authority on the sport. Her dad had played pro, and been captain, for several years, after all. That was nothing to knock.
spaceA grumpy looking Sebastian trailed behind her as she bounced up to Brandon, taking a form to fill it out even though it was nothing but a formality. She was buzzing with excitement. After all, she'd only been waiting on this her whole life, practically! Not quite the professional leagues just yet, but being Vice Captain was a good step. Which was why Sebastian was so annoyed, she knew, but she also knew he was just playing it up for the sake of their 'rivalry'. After last year's debacle, they were getting along better, even if neither of them would admit it."Hey, Brandon!"she chirped."You doing alright?"She knew that the older boy was a bit nervous, to say the least. He hadn't even had the experience of being Vice Captain to prepare him for this. Which was why it was a good thing she was his backup! Obviously, she was here to help... and to win. But helping was part of making the winning happen, after all.

spaceBas wasn't really all that annoyed at Eve getting Vice Captain over him; he was playing it up a bit, sure, because he'd die before he started actually being friendly to the girl, but that was just how they were. Honestly, her being picked instead of him made his life easier. It meant that he didn't have to cow down and admit to her that she was a decent player when he inevitably had to ask her to be his. Plus, if he wasn't worrying about captain duties, he could focus on actually playing, which was what he was here to do. He was done waffling about in self-pity and wondering what he did or did not deserve. Obviously, that meant he had to step up his game. He hadn't played poorly last year, far from it, but he needed to keep it going all the way through seventh. Emma had gotten scouted after her first game last year, and he wanted to do the same. Maybe she could put in a good word with her captain? Then again, he did want to earn it. And it wasn't like he knew her all that well, she was Kiki's girlfriend, which didn't really make them friends exactly. He liked her, sure, but their relationship amounted to the beach trip and... well, that was it. Skill was his only real asset then, unless he wanted to try going through Eretria... yeah, right. He took a form from Brandon and filled it out, rolling his eyes at how bloody chipper Eve was. He was more than willing to admit he was glad she'd gotten the position, but he swore, if she tried to hold it over his head, he'd shove her off her broom.

Gabriella Clarity Stanford Muggleborn First Year Gryffindor
People call me Gabby...
I'm 11 years old...
Location:Gryffindor Tryouts
Gabby was going to try this game called Quidditch. She didn’t really know much about it but she’d read about it. Perhaps she could learn something by trying. Walking onto the pitch, the muggleborn wasn’t about to lie. She was nervous. However, she wasn’t going to let that stop her. This was the only sport wizards played and she needed something to do. Anything to do!
Going over she noticed four people so far. Thank goodness for that. That meant she was still early. “Hello,” She greeted trying not to sound to nervous. “I heard this is kind of the wizard sport so I wanted to give it a go.” She informed them before taking a form. She sat down and started scribbling down information. Most of it was easy until she got to the end. ‘What position…?’ Gabby was deeply confused. She didn’t really know them well. So she went with description. Going for the one that got her the bat first before giving up on any other names… she couldn’t think of which was gave you shots for the goal. Was it the chaser…? Or was that what the one with the tiny gold ball did?
Giving up and just going for anything by the end Gabby didn’t care so long as she got to play. She’d figure it out as she went and have a better idea later on. By next year she had hope that she’d know how to play the game. There was time.

Aine walked onto the field, a little bounce in her step. She was excited for another year of quidditch. Even as a reserve she loved the game and was excited for it. Her brothers had been sorted Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, which made their family purely hufflepuff and gryffindor now. Pretty funny if she didn't say so herself. She waved at the rest of her team already there and proceeded to fill out a form before beginning to stretch.

Alec walked out onto the field, confident he was going to make first string this year. Gid had graduated, which meant there was an open slot, and the other chaser reserve was only in her second year. It wasn't that he really had a chip on his shoulder about being a reserve, but it'd be nice to be a starting player for the next few years, and he didn't think he was even being that cocky about the whole thing. He took a form to fill out, eyeing their new captain and vice captain. Brandon was pretty down to earth and easygoing, and more importantly, not strung out on muggle pain meds, so that was a plus. And he didn't particularly like Eve, because she could be bloody annoying, but he didn't dislike her enough to have an issue with her being the vice captain. At least she was competitive and knew what she was doing.

She went to her grave just a little too soon; And she flew away howling on the yellow moon! Now the people cry and the people moan... And they look for a dry place to call their home. And try to find some place to rest their bones- While the angels and the devils try to make them their own.

Myron was pretty excited to try out. His mam was a big Quidditch fan, and he'd been to see a few games with her- she'd always been obsessed with that all female team since she was his age. He didn't have any grand aspirations of being a professional quidditch player, but he'd always been fairly athletic, so he thought he stood a good chance of making reserve, at least. Trying not to look intimidated or nervous, he busied himself with filling out a form.

Lucy chewed on the last of her toast as she ran through the grounds towards the Quidditch field. She was looking forward to playing Quidditch again, it was fun and she enjoyed the camaraderie within the team. "Good morning!" she called out when she arrived, waving at everyone present. She filled the form and handed it back to Brandon before moving to do her stretches with Alec. She'd been surprised when heard about Kim's displacement as the team captain but they weren't told why, which made her wonder since the girl was quite nice.

Jilly ran out onto the field. Perhaps this was the year she would become a starting beater! Like always she would try her hardest to win. She greeted the captain in her happy demeanor and filled out the form before stretching.

Mackenzie didn’t think she’d become the starting string seeker for another two years, since Fi was always chosen and she was a year younger than the redhead. However, she liked the sport (for the most part) – scratch that, she liked seeking for the most part. Kenzie hated playing every other position, which she had to do while taking Advanced Flying (ugh). The girl didn’t have enough upper body strength to be a decent beater, and she didn’t find chasing or keeping to be fun. Seeking was fun, but that ended abruptly once getting hit by a bludger, and then it only went downhill from there. Luckily, Kenzie was quick and could usually avoid them with the help from her teammates. After filling out a form, the brunette began her stretches. She didn’t want to pull a muscle.

Brandon nodded to everyone who had come to tryouts, and then nervously chewed his lip as he considered how he was going to do this. He had an idea, and that was to go off of how Gid had run tryouts. Now, however, he was pretty sure he was going to fail and fail hard. Sighing, he stood up straighter and whistled sharply, hoping to get everyone's attention to start this off."Okay, um, I'm Brandon Davenport, and I'm the captain this year. Next year, that will go to Eve, so me being here is only temporary. No, I don't know what happened to Kim, so don't ask, 'cause I don't know. In any case, I'll separate everyone into teams to play a couple of games for tryouts. Red team will be Bas and Brianna as chasers, Jilly as beater, Fianna as seeker, and Lucy as keeper. Gold team will be Alex and Aine as chasers, Gabby as beater, Mackenzie as seeker, and Myron as keeper. We'll switch it up later, but that's the lineups for each team this time. I'm going to sit out with Eve for the first round since we really don't need to try out, but we will at least keep an eye on the way you play and take notes. Also, if you get hurt, signal us and we'll give you a potion. Anyway, let's get started with a lap around the pitch and we'll go in the air."
