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

[Xistund]

Do I have your attention? I know the way you've been livin'

Tevye arrvied at the pitch when he heard there was a practice going on he practicably ran there a bit late. Just making it before the captain's speech."I don't have any problems with you Captain... If anything I thought you'd all have problems with me. I was no good as a beater that game. I didn't hit anyone and of more importance I failed to save any of you...I was a bit afrade that you would not want to keep me as beater."he said rubbing the back of his head."I don't blame you or anyone else Remy, even Luke in fact I now have a good way of making the other beaters mad and want to target me because of him, though it worked a bit to well."He said with a big laugh.

Location: Quidditch pitch

After everybody showed up and questioned Remy on why the practice was called Remy started to explain. David knew it was better for the team that he didn't play as lead Seeker but rather Romy should. Romy was good and he desired the position more then he did.

This wasn't as bad as David thought it would be. Of course when the people who did have problems started talking it would probably get heated. "Can I say something?" David asked standing up from his spot on the grass. It was the first words he'd spoken to the team since the game. "First off Romy I know you'll do way better then I did on that field the next time we play." he told him. "...And Tevye we all had a bad game that's no reason to knock you from your spot as beater." David told his friend.

"And second, I'm sorry I let the team down when you needed me the most. I tried something I wanted to do and it turns out I wasn't ready for it. On top of that I don't have a problem with any of you. Your all great players and I know we can turn this season around with a little more team spirit and a whole lot more teamwork." David told the team. "Oh and I know a few of you blame Remy for our lose because she's the captain. But what you have to realize is she's doing the best she can and she's doing great." he said looking over at Remy for the first with a smile on his face.

It took him a while to realize something but they were a team they just weren't acting like one. "Besides we're supposed to be a team... it's not all about one person at the end of every game we either win as a team and we lose as a team it's as simple as that so it's time we started acting like one." David stated confidently. Now he wasn't pushing his failure on the team but if the team wasn't willing to work together they would never win.

Keith raised an eyebrow. She was inviting the team to criticize her? And no one was even speaking up? The only one who did was just repeating what she bloody said. Blah blah blah. Shut it kid. he thought a the boy finally shut up. A smirk crossed his face. "Well first off. You clearly have no idea what is best for the team. You put aside players who would do good on the field for players who barely know what they are doing. I've been trained by a professional for Merlin's sake! I can get this team to be good! AND YOU PUT ME ON THE BLOODY RESERVE TEAM? You didn't play try outs the way you should either. First off if there is more than two trying for seeker, they should have two on the field at once, trying for the snitch. Then see who gets it in the least time out of the three." he took a breath before continuing. "Not to mention how you don't hold CONSISTENT try outs. Sometimes you make us wait two bloody weeks before we can practice!" he said as he glared at the girl.

Risin' up back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a girl and her will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the Eye of the Lycan
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of my rival
I'm the last known survivor
I'll stake my prey in the night
And I'm watching you all
With the Eye of the Lycan
▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄
Ⓡⓔⓜⓨ blushed at the odd compliments, then turned to face Keith. He was mad, that much was obvious. The girl never dropped her gentle smile, but her eyes showed her venom. "And what, pray tell, does it matter to me if your Daddy's a pro? Maybe I prefer those I can train from scratch, with no cocky attitude or smart mouth? See, Alvern, there's a reason you didn't make it. Oh yes, your skills are obvious, the bruising on my ribs proves it, but, to be a team, one must first drop their ego. You sir, are one of the most arrogant, egotistical kids I've ever met. Iris made the team because she's good at support. Same with Tev. I'm placing our lives in the hands of the Beaters. I'm going to give the spot to someone who actually feels a shred of compassion for his teammates. Maybe, if you could express a hint of emotion or thought that isn't 'I'm better than you,' you'd stand a chance." Her calm expression had somehow remained, her voice still soft and caring. The wolf secretly congratulated herself on her ability to keep her emotions in check. "And on a side note, it's generally not a good idea to bludgeon the one grading you in try-outs."

Keith glared at the girl. "And what about you? Miss. Oh-I'm-so-important? Sneaking around at night and disappearing twice a month? You said you were so in love with that idiot we had as captain last year, but only a few months after he leaves, you are going after that girl in the bathrooms." he said. "You think your better than others and you don't care what happens to this house! I actually want to win that Bloody Quidditch cup, unlike you." he said. He was furious now. This bloody girl thinks she could tell him off? Oh she made the worst choice.

Tevye had heard enough from Keith He clenched his fist."You know your right I for one don't know that much about Quidditch. Maybe I've not been trained by some professional. Hell I've never even heard of the game since last year. But I'm not some pampered arrogant gitt who thinks he's a star player. Don't forget you got hurt during tryouts too and after Remy offered to heal you, you where to busy sulking that you did not make the team. If you want on so badly fine here is your chance! I challenge you to a beater off Best beater for my spot!" He said clearly not thinking this through but to angry to care.

Ⓡⓔⓜⓨ fell silent when Keith mentioned her monthly disappearances. Now that the entire team knew, would her deepest secret be jeopardized? Luckily for her, it just looked as if her pride were wounded. The girl stood solemn, watching the boy, trying to keep all emotion out. "Keith Alvern, You have no say what happens on this team, understand? You have no business in my personal life either. Where I go, when I go, and whom I go with are none of your concern." She was about to continue, when Tevye chimed in. "You know what, I like your idea, Tev. Alvern versus Murphy. Winner, to my standards, makes Beater." She sent targets to the air, a total of seven. Three were red, three blue, and the last was dark grey. After a few flicks of her wand, they were all flying about. "Rules are simple. First to hit all three of their targets, then the grey one, whilst maintaining the lowest self damage wins. Do remember, if you hit one of us, you are automatically eliminated. Take to the sky. Tev is Blue, Keith is red. Begin." She released the two bludgers, then flew up on her own broom. She was quite excited to watch the drama unfold.

Keith glared at the girl. "Fine. I'll prove I deserve to be on the team." he said. Jumping on his broom he grabbed the beaters bat and swung a bludger at the first red target.

Tevye twitched a bit as she said targets remembering the tryouts .'Why is it easier hitting people... Oh well no matter if I want to keep my place I got to play better then ever before.' he thought as he grabbed his bat and broom and flew up. Seeing a bludger he moved to hit it keeping a smile on his face mostly to hide that he was worried.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door—
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more."

Romy watched in horror as Keith mentioned Remy's monthly leaves. He knew, simply because he was her little brother. However, unlike Remy, his blue eyes didn't fail to notice the bruised boy walk in. He looked like he got pelted with Bludgers! Romulus frowned slightly, then patted the area of grass beside him. Hopefully, Jacob would sit so the older boy could make sure he was okay... and maybe figure out what happened...
Wearing

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—Nevermore!

 

[Sir Spazalots]

Keith glared at the boy "I'll show you." he said, flying over to the bludger and swinging towards the second red target.

Keith grunted as the bludger took a last minute change of direction as he swung at it. It smacked into his arm. "Damn." he said.

Tevye saw the boy and could not help but luagh a bit. "Oh so that's how the pro's do it huh? Ok I'll remember that when I want to get hit." The boy said as he moved to hit his next target.

And Tevye got hit with a hiss. "Okay okay I get it, Karma." He said with a bit of a smile despite his ribs hurting.
