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

[Sir Spazalots]

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself, and I

Eun flew on, the snitch was getting closer and closer as he darted forward. But it seemed David had sighted it too! Eun put on more speed as he rushed forward, trying to chase the snitch. "You can do this Eun." he said softly as he flew on. You can! he thought as he drew nearer.



They told you I was moving on, over you
You didn't think that I'd come back
You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging

Okay maybe I'm not quite as rusty as I thought.. or maybe just lucky?

Ronna gave a small sort of a mix between a grimace and smile as Jacob missed blocking the bludger. She was actually surprised he had missed it, she knew she had hit the bludger fairly hard too, and winced when it barreled towards Leo. Yeah, she probably should apologize about that one later, but at least it meant she could still swing decently enough? She rose higher on her broom and surveyed the other players waiting for her next opportunity-or more likely the Gold team's beaters engaging the Red team and she wasn't entirely sure if Cameron would decide to make her a target or not.

I don't patronize, I realize
I'm losing and this is my real life
I am half asleep, and I am wide awake
This habit is always so hard to break

I don't want to be the bad guy
I've been blaming myself and I think you know why
I'm counting time, and time's counting you
Every way that I do

Toby zoned out for a moment, in the air, and when he stopped daydreaming he realized that he had no clue what was happening. But he did see that Ronna had just hit a bludger at Leo and it had succeeded, so he swung back his bat and decided to try and aim at her. It was a better bet than going after one of the older players.

I just can't decide what I'm running from.

I can try to suck it up

Ouch... that's got to hurt.

Ronna's gaze went over to the gold beaters and she noticed that Toby aimed towards her-or at least intended to. Instead, he managed to miss and hit himself and she winced-she always thought those bludger hits hurt the most because of embarrassment alone. Taking a deep breath she regained her focus and flew after the bludger that had gotten Toby and hit the bludger towards Toby, who knew maybe the bludger liked Toby and would be more inclined to hit him again? It wasn't a personal thing, and she doubted she would aim at him again-or at least any time soon.

Toby groaned, partly because he'd just missed the bludger, and partly because it had hit him. He massaged his aching leg for a moment before another bludger, this one aimed by Ronna, smashed into his back. He nearly toppled forward on his broom, but clung on and straightened up with a hiss of pain. Yep. He was a tad rusty after the summer, that was for sure.

I just can't decide what I'm running from.

Keith missed his shot at Jacob. Frowning he flew after the bludger and aimed it at Crash, the Keeper for the Gold team. "Lets do this!" he said as he swung the better bat. Come on! he thought.

David saw Leonette get hit and felt bad for her. He knew she could take it though. He needed to worry about his own problems although not that bad at the moment. Since he was only chasing after the snitch with blazing speed.

Leonette missed the Quaffle at the toss-up and flew after the girl. Of course it wasn't without its difficulties. Getting nailed with a bludger Leonette saw where it came from. Ronna man did she ever hit hard. Shaking off the pain she smiled at Jacob so he didn't feel bad for failing to safe her and went back to chasing Minn. 'I'm not giving up yet.' she thought before going in for the steal.

Leonette grabbed the Quaffle from Minn with a smile on her face. Even with the hit she was still going strong. There was no way she was giving up not now not ever. Now she just had to get to the goal. Hopefully the ball wouldn't be taken from her in the process.

I'll be your soldier, fighting every second of the day for your dreams.
So don't stress, don't cry, we don't need no wings to fly.

Cameron landed back onto the ground in time for Elli to blow her whistle and call the tryouts to commence. The beater cursed under his breath when Ronna was placed on the opposing team. As long as she didn't cause any problems, Cam wouldn't care what team she was on; however, that was highly unlikely since she did so last year. Soaring into the sky, hazel eyes locked onto an oncoming bludger before he aimed to hit the ball towards Keith. That kid was the biggest threat to Cameron making the team, so he thought he would help himself by taking him out, or at least trying to take him out.

Rosabella didn't know whether to be happy she was on Alexandria's opposing team or not. The first year jumped onto the school broom and soared into the air, chasing after the chasers. Honestly, she had no idea what she was doing. When Leonette had the quaffle grasped in her hands, Bella closed in on her and attempted to push the ball from her fingers.

Tanya spotted Leo getting hit with the bludger and winced but also saw her swipe the quaffle from her older teammate. With a determined look she flew forward towards her friend in an attempt to steal it from her.

Tevye felt slow getting on his broom. He hated the tryouts he felt so out of practice once they came. He wished he could have flew around more during the summer but living in a muggle area that was an impossibly. Tevye flew up and looked around. He tried to remember who was on his team, he was not going to make the mistake he did last time and hit his own teammate. He was going to aim for one of the beaters but saw that they both been hit by stray bludgers and wanted to lay off hurting his team too bad. But he also could not see Toby yet so he moved to hit a ball at Jacob.

Alexandria smirked when Theo trudged onto the pitch. "Not like my luck's any better," she commented with a shrug of her shoulders. When Elli blew her whistle, the second year turned to face her before noticing Rosabella was standing right there. The little brat decided to come out and try to get onto the team?! Alex pierced the back of her step sister's head with a death glare until the tryouts began. Focus on the game, she told herself, trying to clear her mind on her fly up to the goal posts opposite of Crash. The second year watched as the quaffle was exchanged down the pitch towards the fourth year's goal posts.
