Location: Quidditch Try-outs

Leonette watched as Caitlin caught the quaffle. "Right!" she shouted speeding off ahead getting ready for the goal of a life time. Getting the quaffle tossed her way Leonette grabbed hold of it. As she grabbed hold of the red ball and tucked it in she got hit with an incoming bludger. However she didn't let go. 'Relax... sure it hurt but just ignore it...' she told herself as she flew to the goal and Sent the Quaffle flying. 'Please give me some luck.' she pleaded.

They said all teenagers scare the living s h i t out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did

”I got this,” Crash muttered to himself under his breath. Chocolate eyes darted back and forth between the different blurs of red and gold from across the field. The chasers were getting closer and closer and he could feel his heart starting to pound in his chest. Just then, the quaffle was shot straight for his goal posts and he tried to tackle right into it with both arms open.

Rather do without

Toby was elated at having finally landed a hit, though he felt bad about probably hurting Leonette. However, the first year seemed to shake it off as she went to try and score. He circled in the air above, waiting for an opportunity to hit again.

Younger now than we were before.

Don't let me go

We're falling apart and coming together
Again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together
Pull it together, together again

Crash
Third Year Gryffindor

Yes! He grinned as he bear hugged the quaffle into his chest, successfully catching it. He almost cheered, but he slipped sideways on his broom, nearly losing his balance, but he caught himself just in time and straightened up his posture. Holding the quaffle above his head, he pivoted, looking for a chaser on his team that was open and chunked the ball over to his teammate. "Catch!" He said to Elli.

Caitlin cringed as Leo was hit by a bludger. Those were nasty things. She smiled a little as the first year brushed it off and still took a shot. Though she missed, it was a good shot. Cait watched the keeper -- Crash, was it? -- pass the quaffle to Elli. She took off in Elli's direction and when she was close enough, she reached her hands out for the ball, like a greedy child for candy. Hopefully, she could get a grip on it.

Toby held his breath and got ready to send a bludger towards Caitlin. If he'd landed a hit once, couldn't he do it twice? He tried not to get overconfident, as the bat arched toward the bludger. Hopefully he could hit the chaser.

Younger now than we were before.

Toby gasped sharply in pain as he missed the bludger and it instead slammed into his stomach. His broom swerved and he nearly lost his grip, but he righted himself in the air, biting down on his tongue to stop himself from moaning in pain. Merlin, that bloody hurt.

Younger now than we were before.

Caitlin smirked a little and spun around, heading back to the goals. Back to Crash. She tucked the Quaffle under her arm securely and looked around to see if she could pass to anyone. Cait turned in time to see Toby be hit with his own bludger, she grimaced, but she had more important things to focus on. Like getting this scarlet ball through a goal hoop.

✯I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
✯Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
✯So I sat quietly, agreed politely
✯I guess that I forgot I had a choice
✯I let you push me past the breaking point
✯I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

✯I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire✯
✯Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar✯
✯Louder, louder than a lion✯
✯Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar✯

Remy watched the ball get stolen from her, then passed to... everyone else, it seemed. She watched as the Quaffle was caught by Crash. Poor Leo! "You can do it Leo! You got this, girlie!" She also had enough time to note that the Snitch had been caught by David. She could tell her brother looked down, despite his trying to be happy. "Good job, David! Romster, keep your head in the game! Remember what we practiced!" Her voice rang out clear as a bell, a smile on her face. Even though she wasn't Captain, she was determined to encourage these kids. She had worked too hard with them for too long to just stop all she'd worked for. Gold eyes also noticed Jacob, who didn't seem to be doing all to well. "Jacob, if you need Healing Potions or whatnot I have some! Don't hurt yourself too bad out there!"

Next, gold eyes settled on the Keeper, watching as he cried out "Catch," and threw toward Elli. The veteran Chaser went to dart after the Quaffle, but grinned as Caitlin grabbed it instead. The older girl flew under Caitlin, ready to be there to assist if it was at all needed.

Toby winced as he flew towards Cait and Remy, deciding to try swinging at the chaser one more time. Third time's the charm, right? He was holding his stomach with one hand as he swung at the bludger, putting all his strength into it. The dark haired boy aimed at Cait once more.

Younger now than we were before.

Leonette heard Remy call out to her. It made her feel better even with the failed attempt at scoring. "Thanks Remy!" Leonette called back to her as she watched Crash toss to Elli. She understood why David liked the seventh year so much. When Caitlin stole the quaffle back Leonette speed off after her teammates. She wasn't going to give up on her team. Flying next to Caitlin she smiled. Whether she made the team or not Leonette was just glad to be a part of the Quidditch experience.

Caitlin watched as a quaffle whizzed passed her again. Then Remy and Leo were below and at her side. The oldest Gryffindor hadn't gotten the quaffle much...She frowned, she should have just as much as a shot as the rest of them... "Hey Remy? Catch!" She said before dropping the quaffle into the older girl's arms.

Toby frowned as he missed again but barely had time to react as the bludger he'd hit came whizzing back towards him, courtesy of Tevye. "Holy-" he never finished his exclamation as he dived downwards, just avoiding the bludger. His hair was standing on end as he rose back up in the sky, and aimed at Remy as Caitlin passed to her.

Younger now than we were before.
