She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth

With a whoop of victory she happily took possession of the ball and sped back along towards the goal.

Tanya was persistant that Leonette knew before walking onto the pitch. It kept things interesting but deep down she wondered if she would even make the team. It wasn't seeming to likely she hadn't even tried to score. Spinning around she raced off to steal the quaffle back.

Cheers, finally got a bludger hit of my own.

Ronna usually had a habit of dodging bludgers, it was a natural reaction, and she was fairly decent at it, but Cameron was a really good beater-probably even on an off day which he had seem to be having- and she was a bit rusty. Seeing a bludger head back towards her, which really was Cameron's general habit-send the bludger back from wherever it came from, she tried to dodge and brace for impact at the same time. She winced and let out a few curse words under her breath as she felt the welt already forming on her upper thigh where the bludger Cameron hit had made contact with her. Awkward bruises, but at least it wasn't somewhere people would see it.

Her eyes followed the bludger that hit her and she took the advantage of it still being close to swing her bat at it and aim towards Toby who had taken advantage of her business apparently to hit Tanya. Ronna had to say the younger chaser candidates were being troopers about taking bludger hits.

Tanya bit back a groan as Leo stole the quaffle from her, again before turning in hot pursuit to steal it back again. She swore to never play tag with her friend once this was through!

This was never ending Leonette thought as she went after Tanya again. They were at each other like it was tag. 'I'm never playing tag ever again...' she thought.

Leonette got the quaffle again and raced for the goal. She was so determine now then ever. There had to be an end to this somewhere and she hoped it was with her scoring.

[The Forgotten Weasley]

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 swore out loud upon being hit with a bludger again; another directed by Ronna. "Damn it," he muttered through a clenched jaw as the bludger roughly impacted with his side He was willing to be if it had hot any more forcefully he'd have broken a rib. Jacob had tried to block it, and he sent the vice captain a grimacing smile anyways. He'd tried. Toby had a feeling he was wearing himself out very quickly, however, and he pulled back a little, clutching his side.

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

Did you say "please just follow me?"
I thought you wanted me
'Cause I want you all to myself
I can try to suck it up

I just can't suck it up
Make me feel like someone else
Please just follow me
I thought you wanted me

Tanya actual did a combined groan and sigh as the quaffle was stolen, yet again!, by her friend before she went off to get it back. Merlin could she please get the ball and actually hold on to it!

Leonette wasn't done. She wasn't giving up. No matter how repetitive this seemed. She would get the quaffle and hold onto it long enough to score.

Tanya avoided her friend and kept flying forwards towards the goal. Maybe this session of tag was over but she was sure the game wasn't.

This is just a weird match...

Ronna watched as Jacob moved to block the bludger she had lobbed towards Toby and she realized he missed it and she winced returning her attention to the chasers who seemed to be in the middle of stealing and re-stealing the quaffle from each other. Though she watched the other players calculating her next move she listened for any nearby bludgers as they were noisy enough to catch the sound of if you focused-or at least they were in a quiet stands, it might not work actually in a real game.

She didn't think it was ethical to target Toby again, besides the try-outs seemed oddly one sided since she was the only beater making hit after hit. After her temper problem shown way too many times the year before she didn't want to be remembered as only being able to target and hit people. A one sided game just seemed wrong. Figures, she show up for try outs expecting to do bad and have good luck playing. The irony would probably be funny later but not at the moment.

Miss! That wasn't good Leonette had to get that quaffle back or she wouldn't make the team this year. There were far two many chasers and she couldn't see herself making it if she could even hang onto the quaffle long enough to score.

Yes, Leonette got the quaffle back now all she had to do was hold onto it. 'I have to make it to the goal.' she thought racing off at top speeds. She was giving everything she had into this try-out.
