Darius waved as Claire showed up, and then nodded toward Daniel as he made an appearance. He looked the other teen up and down, his eyebrow cocking as he decided to let Daniel in on the idea he had over the summer."I was thinking. You have the most experience on the team aside from the Rosses, right? Have any thoughts about being named the vice-captain of the team? Figured you can use what you know to do a good job at the position, plus I don't think you've exibited any bias that I've seen."

Daniel blinked. He hadn't expected that. If he accepted, he'd be captain next year, unless something went awry. He considered for a moment, then nodded. "Sure, if you think I can do a good job, I'll do my best. Thanks," he said.

Jaslyn walked quietly onto the pitch, smiling slightly at Darius before noticing the scar across his face. She wasn't stupid. She could guess immediately that it was from Virgil. It seemed she wasn't the only one scarred by Virgil. She sighed and handed him a completed form before sliding off to her own spot to stretch out.

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts And the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happening It's like nothing I can do will distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say Put all the pain you gave to me on display But didn't realize, instead of setting it free I took what I hated and made it part of me

Dmitri shuffled eagerly onto the pitch. The returning members already milled about around the center of the field where the new captain stood, waiting. The Russian blew a low sigh between his lips as he shifted his broom from his right hand to his left. The slips of parchment were ready and waiting, like always, and in his usual stoic gloom, he huddled over the chest to scribble down his information before joining the rest of the serpents in the pit. So far, only the crickets seemed to be talking...And he was perfectly fine with that. But even in the midst of silence, a small smile played at his lips in a curious way.

Ashley stepped onto the pitch, disappointed that Anastasia wasn't out with him. She'd seemed to be depressed or something, and well, he had left to try and at least make sure he could make the team. Not that he was saying he wouldn't because of Anastasia, but that he shouldn't badger her to do something she didn't want to do if she was down. He nodded to each person on the pitch before filling out his form to turn in, already doing some stretches and thinking that he might have a chance of getting off of reserves as long as he participated in the tryouts.

Quidditch. It seemed a love for it to was the one thing the whole school had in common. So Tyson Xanders decided to try and see what it was like, he had quite enjoyed watching it, and he did like playing some sports, like football. But the fact he got dirt on his clothes when he did made him not want to play often. He walked in with a rather cheep broom he had convinced his parents to give him money for. It seemed odd to think he and his brothers had to exchange their parents money to these odd coins of currency in the wizarding world."Umm... Hi... I'm Tyson Xanders... I'm a Second year... are there any open positions?"He asked as he looked at the crowd. Reaching out he brushed some of the blue hair of his bangs from his face. Adjusting his grip on the broom he held, he looked around as he waited for an answer.
Axel is going to laugh at me, she thought bitterly. He was the quidditch fanatic, and even he was opposed against trying out in first year. She hoped this wouldn't get back to him somehow. She'd hate to think of the load of rubbish he could come up with if he found out she tried but hadn't made the team. Still, she wanted to try because if she did make it, then she could humiliate him for the rest of the school year! The thought alone put a bounce in her step as she juggled the school broom in her hands and joined to meet the rest of the team. She hardly recognized any of them from the sorting feast, but her gaze lingered on the girl with snow white hair curiously. But she hurried herself to fill out one of the sheets.

Kenny arrived at the pitch a bit late. He'd gotten sidetracked by something, and managed to get past it before getting to the pitch. His pockets, however, told how he had gotten past his obstacle to tryouts. He waved and said nothing, deciding to stand back and wait to see how tryouts were going to start before he did anything. Couldn't hurt, right? Right.

Do you think I'm special? Do you think I'm nice? Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces? Between the noise you hear, and the sounds you like Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?
Darius collected all the forms from each player and nodded, satisfied. Everything seemed to be in order, and it seemed as though Virgil hadn't shown up yet. Strange. Shrugging it off, he looked around at those gathered and addressed them."Okay, listen up, so I only have to say this once. For those that don't know me, I'm Darius Silver, captain of the team. Daniel Kiremono is the vice captain, so you'd better show respect, or you're off the team. Capiche? Okay, onto other matters. You don't participate, you're gone, and I will not hesitate to kick players off the team. Now that I've laid out the ground rules, here's what we're going to do."
Darius motioned to the pitch, making circular motions with his hands. No one could ever say that he didn't learn from his previous captains, after all. They all seemed to do much better when they had a few runs around the pitch, anyway."I want you to do a few laps around the field to warm up, and then break off into groups. Dmitri, you're on Keeper, so you go ahead and guard the hoops against the chasers. Daniel, you and Ashley are on one team. Claire, you and Camilla are on team two. Your jobs will be to see how well you work as a team, and try and score on Dmitri. Good luck though, he's good. Jaslyn, you and Kenny go ahead and go after the snitch. See how many times each of you can catch the ruddy thing. Good practice either way. And Tyson, right? I need a beater. You're gonna go grab a bat after your runs and go up in the air with me. See if you can hit the other teammates. Don't hit the seekers though. Just fill out the form first, because I am not going to let you go up until then."Confident he was able to make at least some smart decisions, he waited for everyone to do their laps before he released the balls and mounted his own broom. Now, to see how everyone else did during tryouts.

Ashley hopped onto his broom and did a few laps, mostly making sure he listened to his captain. Though, honestly, he would have to be an idiot if he didn't, really. Finishing up his third lap, he waited for Darius to release the quaffle before he shot up, trying to get to the ball as soon as he could. Hopefully he wasn't too slow on the draw.

Kenny winced when he heard the captain's statement about not participating, He wondered vaguely if it was because he was late, Either way, he ran his laps, and when finished, waited for the release of the snitch. He shot up into the air at that point and started looking, ready to prove he was just as good as Jaslyn at the position.

"What you confuse for honesty, is fire from the tongue of a liar. What you confuse for sanity, is a broken mirror that cracks more.
Claire's gaze drifted once more as other people walked onto the pitch, so many people. She didn't look odd did she? Claire hoped she didn't...but what if she did? Her lingering panic started to bubble up, before the captain began to address them.
Listen...Focus...Ignore yourself...
Taking a deep breath, Claire looked up to pay attention to Darius. So she was doing chaser first...on a team with Camilla, alright she could do that. Claire got on her broom as he called for warm ups. Taking a few laps around the field, she let the breeze calm her down and make her thoughts vanish before she breathed a sigh of relief, ready to start the practice.
Claire watched as Darius lifted the box so everything was let loose, she then darted towards the quaffle, hoping to beat Ashley to the punch.
My feelings? I'mtrying to stay lucidyou know? Precious thought of mine,"Hm..." I'm aSlytherin. Did you know that I'm athirdyear? My strings are being pulled."..."Out of character.

Ashley allowed a brief smile as his hands wrapped around the ball, avoiding Claire in the process. He gave the blonde girl one look before he shot off toward the goals and Dmitri. He could always get a quick goal in if Dmitri wasn't ready, right?

Camila groaned inwardly. Exercise? How could she have not seen that one coming? Begrudgingly, she watch the other players take off on their brooms.. At least they weren't running;.she hated running, and sweat, and effort. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all? She was a particularly lazy creature by habit. But she swallowed it down and kept her course. As soon as she finished, she launched up into the air waiting for the signal. A boy named Ashley (how strange) had just managed to snatch the released quaffle out of the blonde girl, Claire's, grasp. She furrowed her brow and chased after him. Apparently, it was going to be boys against girls, and she had no problem with that. She tried to flank the younger boy before she swooped in for a steal.

Tyson nodded, filling out the form and handing it in. He then climbed on his broom and started flying his laps. Once he was done he grabbed a beaters bat and started around the pitch, chasing the steel ball. A bludger it was called, right? "Ok lets see if I can do this."he said as he looked for someone to aim at. He saw an older blonde girl flying nearby. He gulped and swung the bat at the ball.
