Kasamir Aloysius Patrovna
SlytherinThird YearThirteen Years OldSingleBeater



It was a bit of anticipation Kasamir brought with him to the tryouts for this year’s version of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Last year, he’d had his reservations, especially given the humiliation suffered by the Snakes in his first season with the team, and seeing the attitude their Seeker brought with her. Airing a belief in defeatism was akin to surrendering the season before it even properly began. He doubted his Captain’s wisdom in making their Seeker her Vice-Captain because of her stated belief of a doomed effort, and told her so. However, the Snakes swept all before them in glorious fashion, thus proving his misgivings were misplaced. If defeat allowed no explanations, victory required none.

Spending summer in Russia, Kas had the chance to get in pick up matches with old friends playing for Durmstrang. It was fun being with them again, and getting to find out what the school he wished he’d gone to was like. His cousins also got him into playing the game they indulged in; it had no name and few rules, but it involved flying through the forest, ducking and weaving between the trunks at speed, tossing a ball around between two groups and getting it through goals hoops set up in the trees. At one point, they convinced Aunt Faina to play, since she hadn’t done so in many years, and Kas discovered she was an insane pilot.

For tryouts today, he was wearing a Russian Federation hockey jersey, with his Quidditch pads strapped on underneath in a vain effort to bulk out his thin frame. It seemed as though no matter what anyone did, he couldn’t fill out, nor had he grown much over the summer. A long-sleeved gray Thinsulate shirt was worn under all that for warmth, while a pair of black trousers and trainers finished out his wardrobe for the day. Slung over his shoulder was the bag for his Quidditch gear and other sundries, and the case containing his broomstick which he took care to have polished with a fresh coat of linseed oil and ready for flight.

Morning, Keptin, Csuri. I am ready to fly when you are,” said the Russian evenly, his accent still thick from his stay in St. Petersburg, though his level of assurance was unmistakable.

"It's like a treasure hunt, in a way"


Jaelah was ticked that she was forced to stay away from Hogwarts for a year because her maniac sister was on the loose and may or may not try to murder her and they may or may not want said maniac to lead the Solus still. She missed out on a year when they had a capable team, and now she didn't even know if she'd be able to play later being gone for a year - she was limited on what positions she could play well, as Keeper she could keep her left side turned toward the field - having no visibility in her right eye these days after maniac sister and her dumb leg.

She sighed and walked to the field, hoping to set a good example of not being late. Man she hated Erikk not being here anymore, if he had been here they could have laughed together to the field, maybe even joked at their combined being forced to be on the bench after being gone. She filled out a form and turned it in, "Hey Brianna, Csuri. I guess it's going to be another good year?"

                                                                With news of the return of the previous Keeper to the school, Vikram was determined to be on time and ready to go. His parents had bought him a new broom as they always did and Vik had spent a lot of time familiarizing himself with it. They were ready to be a force on the Quidditch pitch. He wasn't about to lose the position he fought so hard for. Trotting out onto the practice pitch, he eyed the girl who's position he stole, but decided against talking to her, offering a simple nod instead. Then his eyes fell on the vice captain, Csuri, and he again almost said something to her. Instead, he quickly looked away. The girl he considered his rival also somehow had weaseled her way into his heart. He hadn't wanted to admit it last year, but this year he definitely had to agree that he was crushing on her. It wasn't her way with words or her charm, but something about her just made his heart beat a million kilometers a minute. With a heavy sigh, he set about stretching to prepare for try-outs.

                                                                Hesperia was a second year this year which meant that she could bring her own broom to use for games. When she had asked her grandparents to purchase her a broom for Quidditch, they had at first balked at the idea, then said they would purchase her a sturdy broom from some Greek manufacturer that she'd never heard of before. They insisted that it was the best broom on the market. It wasn't until Hesperia produced the latest periodical of Which Broomstick? and translated it for them that listed their choice company as 129th best producer, then begged them to buy something better that she finally got a Nimbus broom. Not the most up to date model, mind you, but it was anything better than the broom her grandparents wanted to buy her. So now Hes walked proudly down to the Quidditch pitch with her new broom over her shoulder. When she reached the pitch, she noticed someone she didn't know there, but she was unperturbed. "Good morning everyone. Hey Csuri, ready to kick butt again this year?" she asked the girl. Last year Csuri had carried the team to a 3-0 season and the Quidditch Cup.

Some say now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions
Don't you breathe for me
Undeserving of your sympathy
'Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did

                                          ✮⛧✶⚝Afon was actually a bit excited about Quidditch this year all things surprising. Most surprising was their team of literal oddballs managing to do so well last year, most of course up to Csuri. He had no idea what the new year would entail but he just hoped it was just as lively as the year prior. He gave nods of welcome to everyone as he followed behind the rest of the team to fill out his form and stretch to get ready. In his opinion, even if he wasn't that much of a gabber it'd still be too damn early for all this talking.

                                                  Savino made his way to the Quidditch pitch for the Slytherin tryouts. He didn't get as much practice as he would have liked but he certainly wasn't rusty. There was still some uncertainty about making the team yet again this year. Last year had been a fluke really. Savi never thought he'd make the team first try. Slytherin dominated all year and it was super shocking at how well he did. He wanted to replicate that, and he hopefully would. Walking onto the field, Savi grabbed a form and filled it out. He was ready for this.

                                                      As Jo walked in the direction of the quidditch pitch she was feeling a strange, and overall confusing, mixture of nerves and confidence. She'd been on a broom before, but it wasn't like she'd exactly practiced playing quidditch. Or gotten more than five feet off the ground. But, at the same time, Jo knew she learned quickly, and the teams always needed players. Plus, though she wouldn't admit it out loud, there was a small part of her that thought not making the team would end up being a relief. She had made a deal with herself upon coming to Hogwarts that she wouldn't allow any fear or doubt stop her from experiencing all Hogwarts had to offer.

                                                      By the time she made it to the field, Jo had more or less talked herself into an air of confidence. She kept her back straight and her head up. Mum had always said that the first step to gaining power was holding yourself like you already had it. It was all about first impressions. She arrived to a pitch that was already full of players, which was good for the team if nothing else. She looked over the group and studied each person. She hadn't yet had much interaction with those in her house, but she supposed this was her chance. She bit the corner of her lip, which was once again donned in black, before looking back up and making her way to fill out an application. All the while trying to look as "cool" as possible.
