No sooner had she swiped the Quaffle from Cain, he had swung about and was making his own attempt at the ball. Ally banked to the side and avoided his grasp, holding her prize tight to her side. She had done it. Cain called out a congratulations and her smile was positively giddy. This was officially the longest she had ever had ahold of the Quaffle. If you don’t stop marveling over every little blade of grass on the field and how majestically the sun catches the dew drops resting there, you are going to lose this game! Now get your head on straight, protect the ball and fly like you mean it! Ally chastised herself.
Rising higher to avoid a little congestion of players, Ally pressed on for the hoops. She was almost there.

spaceAdalaide had to hand it to the first year, she was doing a pretty good job... and showing a lot of enthusiasm for sure. Watching her, Ada was pretty sure the team was going to be in good hands next year, even without her and Dhyl there. Didn't stop her from wanting to ensure she earned her spot on the starting team, though. After all, she couldn't expect experience alone to get her the position; it wouldn't be fair. It was practically playing favorites! So, she took off after the first year, reaching for a steal.

spaceWhen the seventh year came away with the ball easily, she shot in the other direction, her eyes peeled. The tryouts were already off to a more exciting start than any years previous... mostly because Hufflepuff had never had so many people trying out. She glanced at the other players on her team, expression thoughtful; she'd proven that her skills hadn't gotten rusty over the Summer, right? Except for scoring, which she supposed was sort of important. She debated; should she pass the ball to Cain or Chloe, or go for the goal? Deciding that Dhyl knew she could score, she searched the field for the only new player on her team; Chloe. Once she caught sight of the girl, she called out,"Chloe, catch!"and passed the ball.

Ally had been closing in on the hoops, eyeing Corabell and ready to shoot, when Ada swooped back in and knocked the Quaffle from her grasp again. Ally had seen her coming at the last minute and tried to dodge, but she flew true and her aim was perfect. Once again, the ball had slipped from Ally’s grasp. The old Cleansweep that she was on didn’t do the most accurate turns, but still, she was able to wheel back and set off in pursuit of the Quaffle once more.
It was strange to think that when she had came to school this year, that she hadn’t even considered that she might play Quidditch. But since that first night when she spoke to Dhylan about it, it had become a burning passion of hers. She checked books out of the library, spent extra time learning how to service the brooms, taking hours polishing and trimming the twigs of the school brooms. She had even organized a few parties in the Hufflepuff common room around nights of professional Quidditch games where they would all have some Butterbeer and sweets, make a few friendly bets and cheer on their favorite teams.
So getting to finally be out on the field playing was such a dream come true that it kept her focused and not afraid to keep trying. So as she closed the distance just behind Ada, she was about to attempt another steal when the Quaffle was passed to Chloe. Diving down, Ally swiped for the ball as it was passed.

”Yes!” with a small shout of glee, Ally recovered the Quaffle. This had certainly been a fast paced game so far. Both of the Hufflepuff teams were eager and swooping back and forth to trade make their play for the Quaffle. Bludgers were launched across the field and somewhere above the race for the Golden Snitch was happening. Filled with the energy of all of her teammates, those she was playing with and against, she raced back for the hoops that Corabell was guarding.
But as she flew past another Chaser she realized that she had to play smarter. Sweeping to the side, she flew under Dhyl, tossing the Quaffle upward to him. "Heads up!"

Chloe's nervous got the better of her and she didn't steal the quaffle. Luckily she had great team mates. When the quaffle was passed to her Chloe caught it but the moment she did it was taken from her. She had to get the quaffle back...

Dhylan had been scribbling notes furiously, glancing up at the game every few seconds. He was lucky he glanced when he did, because Ally had been trying to pass to him. Chloe swooped in to try and intercept, but missed, so he reached out a long arm and easily plucked the quaffle from the air. "Nice steal, Ally! Chloe, when someone tries an upward pass like that, your best bet is to try and close the gap between them. Swoop downward to prevent the higher-up Chaser from being able to get it." He nodded, grinning, then scanned the field. "Elsbeth! Heads up!" He tossed to her, hoping she didn't get intercepted. His blue eyes were bright with excitement, the dark rims of his glasses only enhancing the brightness of his irises.

Chloe failed to grab it which kind of hurt but at least Dhylan was giving her advice."I'll keep that in mind." she told him as he passed the quaffle off to Elsie. Time to take it away from Newlyn's younger sister... she hoped at least.

"I caught it!" Chloe told herself in amazement. She'd caught the quaffle and if felt great to do it too. "Alright... time to get to the goal." she told herself racing off towards the goal.

Ally watched with awe as Dhylan easily caught the Quaffle, avoiding a steal. He had complimented her on her own steal which made her feel wonderful. He had seen! She had wanted to make sure that she had proved to him and the other upperclassmen that she wasn’t totally incapable. Maybe she didn’t have the skills and experience that they did. But she was determined and ready to give her all for her house.
Dhylan passed it along to Elsie and Ally was flying in to flank her. She was going to be in range to shoot! But just as the pass sailed over, Chloe dashed in and successfully snatched it out of the air. For just a tryout, this was a great game. Both sides were really focused on giving it their all and turning up the pressure on the other. Ally knew that she was going to have a hard time against more experienced players, but the fact that she was still hanging in showed that she had at least some talent. And really she was proud of Chloe, remembering that day at the Sorting Feast where the girl confessed to wanting to play despite a fear of heights.
Even still, Ally was ready to do what she could for her team. Dipping in low and coming up from behind, she darted in to try to steal back the Quaffle.

Ally smiled as the Quaffle was back in her hands and she was streaking back across the field toward the other goals. She was having good luck so far with her steals. Looking over, she spotted Elsie circling back around and she motioned to her to follow. Flying out to the right side of the field as fast as she could to a relatively open area of play, she got to the side and turned hard to streak across the field, coming just above Elsie and passing the ball to her swiftly.
Whipping around, she fly up alongside Elsie to flank her on the path towards the goal.

The Quaffle sure was getting a lot of action today. The First Year girl stole it, then Ada took it from her, then the First Year had it again and passed to Dhylan, who passed to another newbie, but was intercepted by Chloe and then stolen by the First Year again. What was that girl's name, anyways? She sure was good at this! "Awesome steal, Chloe!" he called, encouraging the older girl. For her first time playing Quidditch, she was getting the hang of it quickly. But that First Year girl was a tough one to beat. Still, Cain went in for another steal attempt. He couldn't let a cute little girl beat him, could he?

Elsie was beginning to get dizzy from looking back and forth too much. Everyone kept stealing! Which was what they were supposed to do, obviously, and she gave a small sigh of relief when Ally attempted a pass to her again and this time she caught it before it could be intercepted. Tucking it against her frame, she tried to duck down a bit. Right, next time she had to remember to do something with her hair. It kept getting blown in her face, obscuring her vision. She focused on flying straight and swiftly, eyes on the goal.
