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

[Cinnabun Gryffie]

xx✯ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? Quidditch Pitch
xxx✯ Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ? Nimbus
xxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Tryouts
xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? I can't wait until I make the team!

Maya looked over when one of the other kids spoke to her. It was that other first year with the super cool name! He verified her own name, then asked where she was trying out. That brought a bright smile to her face. "It is Maya! You're Nimbus, right? I remember 'cause you've got a really cool name. Also my favorite style broom is Nimbus too. My dad prefers Firebolt, but he's in the pro league, so he's gotta be tip-tops and I did my research at my uncle Wyatt's shop and I think Nimbus'll be better for me." She nodded while taking a breath. "As for what I'm gonna do, it's definitely Seeker for me. Just like my dad. 'cause I'm gonna go pro too when I get older! And so I've gotta start young. BUT just in case they need me I listed my backup as Chaser. I was thinking Beater just like my Auntie but I decided I'd be better at Chaser. Actually, I'll be best at Seeker, but don't worry, I'm gonna get it easy-peasy." She smiled, hoping he didn't mind that she was super excited about quidditch.

Jass was so ready for today. he was an ace already with having been taught early by his dad. He was practically jumping his way to the pitch. Gleefully taking a form. He filled it out and passed it in. spotting two from his year and practicing skipped over "Hi! whatcha talking about? Can I join?" He said probably interrupting but he was too excited to tell!

spaceKendall was nervous as he made it out onto the pitch. He knew that most of his teammates had probably seen him around the common room by this point, but he didn't know if any of them had actually noticed him, exactly, or knew who he was. He'd never had any sort of pronoun conversation with anyone, since he'd been figuring it out himself. He hadn't wanted to confuse anyone or make a big deal out of nothing, so he'd just let everyone keep calling him a girl all the way through last year, even though he'd stopped calling himself one by Christmas. Now, though, he figured they would catch on pretty quick. Or maybe not; maybe they'd just assume he was being extra-tomboyish? He hadn't exactly had much of a figure to change, really. His face was definitely more masculine now, but who knew if anyone would actually notice that. He might... he might have to actually talk to the team about it. That... that didn't sound fun. He huffed slightly, scowling as he filled out his form and handed it to the captain, with a little note underneath that said "I'm a boy now." He'd been a boy before, of course, but no one knew that. He hadn't even known that. It would be nice when he was graduated, and went out into the adult world and met new people who'd never ever thought he was a girl. For now, though... Ugh. This sucked.

Jogging onto the field, Annalise struggled to pull her hair back into a ponytail as she ran. It was getting long again, so she didn't want to leave it down during tryouts. Thankfully, as a Third Year, she could visit Hogsmeade during the school year now. She had heard talk of a new hair salon that had opened up over the summer, so she could go there for a trim. As much as she dyed her own hair, Annalise had never tried to cut it by herself before, and she didn't think it would go well. This year, she had gone for an electric blue underneath her natural blonde. It was quite the difference from last years soft lavender.

"Hey, sorry I'm late!" she exclaimed, approaching the group of players. Well, she wasn't really late, but she definitely wasn't early. Most of the other players were already there. She quickly filled out her application and turned it in, then powered through her stretches and warm-up exercises.

❝ So I just do my little lonely dance. Performing for my only fan. 'Cause it's my kind of party.
My room is where my heart is. I do my little lonely dance. I don't need you to understand.
And there's no way I'm stoppin'. It's like nobody's watching as I do my little lonely dance. ❞

I think I got too many memories getting in the way of me
I'm 'bout to go Tonya Harding on the whole world's knee
And I'm stuck, night-vision
So stuck night-vision

✪✪✪Jack waved to Chelsea as she was, of course, the first one besides him to make it out and sort of did a weird chuckle/shrug combo towards her question. He was still a bit melancholic that this was his final year playing with everyone, or really playing ever considering he was definitely not going to continue to the pro league, no matter how much Will might whinge about it. Before he could fully answer though, she was yelling at Griffin that he was late and the two began having their own little convo which he happily stayed out of. Where they dating? The way she sorta ripped into him reminded Jack of his aunt Cyd but he just stayed out of it. Instead he focused on waving, grinning, occasionally highfiving people as they came to do their sheets and glaring at London for his little comment. "Can you just. Let. That. Go. Please??" he asked through gritted teeth hoping the firstie didn't overhear them. He was never telling his brother or cousin about any of his crushes ever again, celebrity or otherwise. After another few minutes of waiting and collecting all the sheets he figured everyone who was interested was already here so he cleared his throat giving his usual two finger whistle to catch everyone's attention.

"Hey everyone, thanks for coming out to our tryouts, I'm really excited for this season, specifically for wining another trophy for our case, amiright? So if you don't already know, I'm Jack Hawthorne, captain and all around cool guy, and my vice captain is the lovely Chelsea Durant. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to speak with one of us. Alright, no to the fun part! The way we're gonna do it is a full scrimmage match with only one exception, beaters cannot aim at the seekers but everyone else is fair game. Red team will be Talia and Maya as chasers, Kendall and Analise as beaters, Rune as keeper, and Chelsea as seeker.
Gold team will have Jasper and Chris as chasers, Londy and Nimbus as beaters, Griffin for keeper, and Eve for seeker. But before all that, I want three laps around the pitch no shortcuts or I'll make you do them again. Have fun gents!" Jack said with a short cackle. He waited until everyone was up in the air doing laps before releasing the bludgers and snitch and when the chasers were in formation, he threw up the quaffle for the start of the match. Then he went back to staring at the small note on Kendall's form. Was that supposed to mean something?? Did he get him a gift basket? Ooo! He could make it baby shower themed! Or was that too condescending? Hmm...he was friends with some quiet kid in Ravenclaw, he could prolly ask him what the kid liked. If there was one thing Jack truly prided himself on, it was his basket skills.

Tally immediately went up for the quaffle, eager to begin the scrimmage match. Sometimes it was almost more fun than an actual game against another team.

✪✪✪Jack watched the tryouts making mental notes the entire time to discuss with Chelsea later as he observed those flying new or old. Taking a look at the sun and then at his watch he noticed how late it was becoming and placed a sonorus on his voice to alert the team. "ALRIGHT THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW." As everyone landed he began summoning the bludgers and snitch thankful that the practice ones allowed it or Ghede knew how he'd collect the damned things. When everyone had water and perhaps a bit of ointment he clapped his hands to garner their attention once more. "Alright ladies and gents, I hope you've had fun but unfortunately tryouts have come to an end. If you haven't already, get some ointment or a potion if you were badly hurt and some water to hydrate. We'll post the team sometime this week and to those chosen, see you at practice. Off with you, some of you are rank!" Jack added with a dramatic nose wrinkle literally fanning the team hopefuls away.

Location : Quidditch Pitch - Gryffindor Tryouts


Chelsea found it weird to be back at Hogwarts without her wing men. Griffin and Phillip were her closest friends and it felt like she was missing something in her final year. It was a time to enjoy with friends but with her best friends missing in action she wasn’t so sure. Luck for her she had Quidditch to distract her, and Sabrina to push towards even more dates with Hunter. Sabrina would thank her later.

Walking onto the Quidditch pitch, Chelsea had everything the team would need. At least she hoped she did. Suddenly she went into double checking mode. Making sure she had everything in order, she found herself fiddled with the forms for hopefully the last time. Once she was sure she was good to go, she took a breath and adjusted her hair in the messy ponytail she was adorning.

All Chelsea could do now was wait and hope her vice captain made an appearance soon.

Tally was more excited for tryouts than usual this year, since Chelsea had asked her during the feast if she'd agree to be her vice captain. She'd immediately accepted, of course, but it had still been a surprise. Most vice captains were at least fifth years, and Tally had only been playing for two years prior. That said, she was thrilled at the thought of it, even if part of her worried she'd have to be bring her A-game all the time now. Maybe it'd just push her to work harder. She was planning to surprise her parents with the news just before their first match, knowing they'd be delighted. She waved to Chelsea as she walked out onto the pitch, putting down her bag and adjusting her braid.

Older Brotherxxxxx

Location : Quidditch Pitch - Gryffindor Tryouts

Chris was so ready for the next great year of Quidditch. He loved the sport of Quidditch even if his own father hated the sport. If his mum and his aunts could play it why couldn’t he. Being fifteen nothing was going to stop him from playing. His Aunt Mira considered it his rebel phase though he didn’t think so. He wasn’t trying to do it to go against his father he just really liked playing. Why should his exams be all that mattered anyway?

Walking onto the Quidditch pitch broom in hand, Chris saw Chelsea and Talia there. “Hey cap, hey Tally,” He greeted to them both as he grabbed himself a form. “or should I say vice cap.” He said with a smile as he turned to face her. “Congratulations by the way.” Chris couldn’t help but overhear and besides if he hadn’t heard it then he would have been sure to hunt Chelsea down to ask her. He certainly didn’t mind that it wasn’t him, after all his mind had enough on his plate as is.
