Gryffindor Quidditch Practice: Tryouts Open [[Jun-Aug 2024]]

[Cinnabun Gryffie]

Through the wind and the rain
He stands hard as a stone
In a world that he can't rise above
But his dreams give him wings
And he flies to a place where he's loved

Romy's smile dropped. He didn't make it? He heard his name listed as an Alternate, which was better than nothing. He looked at Sun and Caitlin, and tried for a smile. "G-good job Sun! You too Caitlin! You guys did great!" he said, enthusiastically. He looked up, watching Remy fly overhead. He smiled a bit when she screamed in joy.

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel boy with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

You could be a blackbird
On the country street
Hiding from the world with a broken wing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me

Remy flew faster and faster, testing herself as well as the new broom. She very carefully stood to her feet while flying, having practiced this particular move on her CleanSweep, it was quite tricky to stand on the faster, sleeker broom. Luckily, she had a few years of gymnastics practice under her belt.

You could be a songbird from New Orleans
Scared of the rain just as scared to sing
But you better believe you're gonna fly with me

Elli listened to him speak and nodded her head when he started talking about keeper tactics and things like that. "Just call me Elli." She said with a half smile. "Everyone does." When he took off into the air she followed him up. Once they were off the ground she gave him a full smile. "I kinda get off to a bad start with most people. Something about me being stubborn and loud mouthed." She shrugged. It was the closest she ever came to an apology. "Um.. so am I allowed to get my own broom sent to me even though I'm a first year?" She asked. She didn't mind flying on the school brooms but her firebolt was her baby and even though it wasn't the newest broom on the market she had never had a broom better than it.

I'm gonna kick you
Right between your hips
Cause you're such a catty b***h
And for me it's such a switch
Cause I'm usually such a lady
But tonight I'm gonna smack a b***h

If I Was Your Boyfriend..
I'd never let you go.

Cameron closed his eyes tightly, trying to make the pain disappear. When Remy asked if he was alright, all he did was nod. "Yeah," he croaked after a moment of silence. When she ordered Sun and himself to take a breather, Cameron hovered down to the stands and sat down, keeping an eye on Elli and Caitlin as the two girls played against each other. After a couple minutes, Jayden announced for everyone to meet him at the center of the pitch. Cameron mounted his broom once again and floated over to the group of Gryffindors. The boy's stomach felt nauseous because of his nervousness about whether or not he made the team this year. Please, please, please, he hoped, staring at the notepad that was in front of the captain's face. When his name was not announced for any of the beaters, or another position, he narrowed his eyes. Another year, and he still hadn't made the team. Both Caitlin and Elli were on the team, and of course, so were Samuel and Remy. Was Cameron? No. This sucks, he thought before hearing that he was a reserve. Important? Yeah, right, he thought, looking up at Jayden. It's probably what he says so no one gets upset, he thought, still a tad angry with the fact that he didn't make the main team.

When Elliryanna finally followed him, he began his lesson. "Alright, so in theory, you're going to face quite a bit of different shots. They are all going to be different. Like my brother is obviously going to shoot differently than me. He's a lot better of a shot too, but that's beside the point. But, there is only one way to position yourself to stop every single way. You see, if you've ever played football (soccer), it is pretty similar. If you close angles, there is less to shoot at. If you attack the quaffle at the right time, there is less chance to score. I need youbto utilize these to become the best keeper here. Because you can be," he said, showing her all the positioning she could possibly use as a keeper.

Elli mirrored the positions he showed her. When he said she could be the best keeper here if she only tried, she smiled. "I plan on working my butt off." She said in all honesty. Quidditch may not be her one life goal but she loved playing.

It was his first season where he would not need to try out, Sam thought as he walked out onto the field. Under his arm was a roll of parchment as he carried the barrel of brooms. He placed the broom barrel down and took his broom out of the barrel. He stretched and sighed, waiting for Remy, his Vice Captain and the rest of the people coming to try-out.

Caitlin slowly walked onto the Quidditch Pitch. She had barely managed to pull herself out of the castle just for this. She stared at the grassy ground as she walked. Sam was already there. Well, he should be, he was the captain this year. Where was Remy? Wasn't she the vice captain? Oh well. Doesn't matter much, does it?

Cameron walked onto the pitch. Hopefully this year, he would make the immediate team instead of a reserve."Hi Caitlin, hi Sam," he said monotnely.

Elli saw Cameron walking ahead of her and smiled. She raced towards him and jumped on his back, kissing his cheek happily. "Hey there!" She said laughing. It was becoming a habit of hers to jump on his back. She smiled at Sam and Cait, excited fro the try outs. She was surprised to see Cait there though, last she checked the girl was trying out, but Elli didn't care. It just meant more competition and more fun for her, and even if she didn't get to play chaser, she would still be happy with Keeper.

Cameron's reflexes enabled him to grab onto Elli's legs quickly enough so she doesn't fall off his back. "Hey," he said, startled by her sudden appearance.

Jayden walked onto the pitch, nothing in his hands of course. He was primarily here to help out with the team. He wanted to be with his team, even though he could not physically play. He could also help out with technics. Of course, he would have to call someone down, but he was sure they would be willing to hear something from him. He still was hurt and due to his...illness...there was no magic that could possibly work on it. He was hurt and was probably done the sport for the rest of his life.

There was already a growing turn-out, mostly players from last year. Sam smirked when Cameron showed up and gave the boy a nod. He still bared him a little ill will, but he wouldn't let it affect his judgement on whether or not the boy should be on the team. When Jayden came down to the pitch, Sam waved to him. "Alright, I know everyone is familiar with the drill. Everyone take one of these forms and fill it out. Once you do, get on your brooms and do a couple practice laps. We're still waiting on people to arrive, so this will be a warm up. If you don't have a broom, I have several here to borrow." He passed out the form to everyone and stepped back to his position beside the barrels.

Out Of Character: The form is the same on Devil-chan and Utusha posted in their posts.
