”Nora! Mason! Before you make decisions, I wanted to talk to you a bit.”
“So after last year I don’t think I’m going to be pursuing Quidditch professionally.” Last year’s attack had been the coffin of Galen’s youthful Quidditch aspirations. He could argue he could still play normally– that’s what medication was for, and there had been a dozen other factors besides his heart– the rain, Dominik was really just that on point, uh… the rain? But eventually he had realised a few things:
Galen’s deepest dream was to have a wonderful wife and giant family. He was no longer dreaming of bringing home the bacon so much as being able to be there to fry up the bacon his wife brought home. Even if he could play Quidditch professionally, that would be a lot of stress on her if every time he went up in the air he could fall out of it just because his heart skipped a beat. As long as they made enough to stay afloat, Galen would rather be home and available for his wife and kids. Maybe he’d have a nice part-time or seasonal gig where he DM-ed DnD campaigns or babysat or something to earn some extra money, but the important thing was his family would always know where to find him. And if that wife was Nora–no no, he hadn’t even asked her to be his girlfriend yet!
He distilled his thoughts down: I’m still pretty good on a broom, but if I’m not going to go pro, it might make more sense to give the play time to one of the younger students. I’m happy to just focus on coaching the younger team members.”. With that kind of thinking, Galen was able to put his childhood pro-Quidditch dreams to a rest and embrace the future.
Or whatever future Nora and Mason decided best helped the team!

Mason made his way to the pitch alongside Benjamin, whom he had convinced to help carry the equipment. If he wanted to be the Vice Captain (potentially – Mason still hadn’t actually promised the position to him), then he needed to step up and show that he was willing to also do the not-so-fun stuff that came with leadership. “Let’s put this over there,” he suggested, referring to the chest full of balls that the brothers had lugged all the way from the castle. It was the least they could do for Nora, especially since her boyfriend had graduated and was no longer at Hogwarts. As much as he wanted Nora to be happy, he selfishly (but would never admit) hoped that the long distance type of relationship she was in this year would break apart, and that he’d get his chance to comfort her and develop a romantic relationship with her. As he waited for others to arrive, he grabbed a form and quill for both himself and for Ben, and began to fill his out.

When Mason had asked Benjamin for help with bringing equipment down to the pitch, he couldn’t refuse. It wasn’t that he particularly wanted to do that, but he knew that if he did, it would be a step in the right direction of being chosen as Vice Captain next year. So, he accepted the task with a gleeful grin. It probably helped that he had been in a good mood ever since running into Skyla a couple of weeks ago, and now that they were back at school, he’d get to see her a lot more often. Once the equipment was settled, Mason handed Benjamin a form and quill, so he began filling it out.

Flick slowly walked to quidditch, they were upset that Ivan wasn't coming back to quidditch this year - they were such a good partnership for beaters... but Ivan's parents were jerks and Flick just wondered if they could convince Uncle Wren or Uncle Nim to adopt Ivan to like they had done for Flick. Flick made a note to write them later in the day.
Flick filled out their form and smiled, "Hi Benjamin, hi Mason - how goes it?"

Much like all the others in Hufflepuff house, Bieito had heard that the quidditch team needed a hand. He'd already enrolled in the second Advanced Flying class, so why not? Besides, all the coolest people played! So he dressed in the closest to athletic clothes that he owned and hurried down to the pitch. He knew through the grapevine that Milan Wellbelove's hard work collected enough money for all the clubs, plus new gear for the Quidditch players.
On the pitch, there were only a couple others, so Bee tipped his proverbial hat, then filled in the application form. Once done, he stepped back and started a few stretches to try and prepare.

Nora sped toward the quidditch pitch, hoping she’d make it before too many people showed up. Things had, unsurprisingly, been kinda crazy and they were barely into the year. Luckily, the Olsons had volunteered to get things started. Nora had made a good choice for her second-in-command and wouldn’t be surprised if Benjamin followed.
Now there was just the matter of actually putting the team together. They had lost too many players with graduation, but she wasn’t going to let herself focus too much on that (for more than one reason). She just hoped enough people would show up to replace them. If it was really necessary, she’d drag a few classmates in, even if begrudgingly.
When she finally made it to the pitch, she scanned over the crowd. Though “crowd” was an extremely generous term. She took a quiet breath and put on a smile. “Hey everyone,” she said in her best ‘encouragement’ voice.

Emily wasn't sure what to do with the knowledge that the Hufflepuff quidditch team needed players. She had even gotten around to asking Cai about it. He shrugged and told her it was a little like bêl-droed and pêl-fasged on broomsticks. He said it was great fun to watch but he wasn't particularly athletic and Gryffindor never needed members for the team but most of the other teams - especially Hufflepuff came up short. But, Cai did say the magic words of "Mae bron pawb ar y timau yn hoff iawn". She still did a lot of reading up and decided most of the positions she was open to except beater. That didn't seem a way to make friends.
Unfortunately she was so wrapped up in debating and reading about quidditch she felt she was late when she ran onto the pitch gasping for breath. She quickly filled out the form with a pink gel pen and handed it to whoever looked the most official while apologizing she was late and that it was not a reflection of her usual character.

Mason and Benjamin lugged the Quidditch equipment to the pitch for tryouts. Mason snickered at how Ben was practically vibrating next to him out of excitement of being appointed as the new Vice Captain. This year would truly be odd without Nora as his partner in crime, but his brother had proven time and time again that he was dependable, especially when it came to leading the Quidditch team to victory. It might be tough, but Mason felt optimistic about it. Undoubtedly, he would miss Nora. He wished for several years now that she was going to become his partner outside of the Quidditch pitch, but it seemed a little too late now that not only had she found herself a boyfriend, but she had also graduated. This basically meant that Mason was never going to see her again.
Ben had piped up, asking where he wanted the trunk. “Just right there is fine,” he responded. “Just make sure you fill out a form, though.”
“I still have to do that?” Ben asked, tilting his head backward to look up at the sky.
“Yes,” Mason responded quickly.
“Why?” Ben asked, looking back at his brother. “You know that I’m gonna be the Keeper again, anyway. Unless… you want to put me as a chaser — then I’ll fill out the form! Wait — do I get a say in that now? Since, you know, I’m the Vice Captain.”
“You get a say, but I get the final say. Fill it out,” he ordered. This was going to be a long season.

Benjamin couldn’t contain his excitement as he helped Mason lug the Quidditch equipment from the castle to the pitch for tryouts. For a moment there, he grew nervous that his brother wouldn’t have appointed him as the Vice Captain. After years of talking himself up and kissing up to Mason, it seemed that his tactic did, in fact, work. He couldn’t wait to write to Skyla and let her know the good news!
“Where do you want this?” Ben asked, referring to the large trunk in his hands.
“Just right there is fine. Just make sure you fill out a form, though,” Mason responded.
Benjamin dropped the trunk, causing it to thud as it landed. “I still have to do that?” he asked, tilting his back, eyes staring at the sky. How was he supposed to sit still and fill that out when all he wanted to do was fly a lap around the pitch and cheer at the top of his lungs?
“Yes.”
“Why?” he asked, jerking his head back to look at Mason. “You know I’m gonna be the Keeper again, anyway. Unless…” he paused, thinking for a moment. “You want to put me as a Chaser — then I’ll fill out the form! Wait!” he paused again, his thoughts coming together. “Do I get a say in that now? Since, you know, I’m the Vice Captain.” Oh, he was so going to put himself on the starting string as a Chaser.
“You get a say, but I get the final say. Fill it out.”
Benjamin didn’t ask any further questions and instead, picked up a piece of parchment and quill and began filling out the form.

After waffling for a few days, Eddie had made up his mind. He would try out for quidditch, just like his big sister. After all, who was cooler than Charlotte?? Maybe he'd be cool too if he played her favorite sport. He straightened his clothes and hair, then got his note of passing the first year flying course, then headed down. He was a bit worried he might not do well, but he'd read all the books and listened to Charlotte and their parents discuss it many times. He was sure he'd do his family proud. As he walked outside, he cleaned the smudges from his glasses, then stepped onto the pitch. So far, there were only two people there, and they sorta looked like siblings.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen. My name is Edison Overton. I have come here to apply to play the sport of Quidditch, please." He quickly filled out the application and handed it in, then bit his lip for a moment. His dad told him to try and be sociable to make friends... so he decided to give it a try. "Did you know that hummingbirds are one of the only species of birds that can fly backwards or hover in place? It is a fascinating strategy, but it is also interesting. Some say they inspired modern day helicopters." He nodded, dark eyes wide as he shared one of his favorite factoids. Maybe next he'd mention that sometimes birds would simply fall asleep while flying, then compare it to the dangers of broom flying while tired. It was important, after all!

Bieito was ready for the new year to begin. The last week of summer had been a fashion expo, so Mother had gone there for an extra week, leaving Bee home alone. Of course, she also left him no food, which was right on par. Oh well. He'd gone to the market and survived, and now it was back to the safety of school. Classes had already begun and were going well enough, but as the leaves began to fall, Quidditch time was ramping up. Naturally, he would be there right at opening to make sure he could reclaim his spot on the team. Walking onto the pitch, he noticed a kid he'd never met happily prattling on about birds. Super fun. "Bonjour, Capitaine. 'Allo, Ben." He greeted as he stepped aside to fill out his paperwork in messy script.

Noah made his way to the pitch, broom in hand. Over the summer his mother had bought him and Charlotte new brooms. Noah had come to love quidditch, but it was nothing compared to his mother. She'd even made a point to thank Nora for "recruiting" them when she had. Which brought up another point in his mind. Nora. After seven years, Hufflepuff needed a new seeker. He trusted Mason to be in charge but this would certainly be an interesting tryout. He just hoped enough people would show up.
As Noah and Charlotte arrived at the pitch he counted those who had shown up. Including the two of them so far they had six. One more and they could make a team. Ideally, they'd get more than that but it was always hard to say who'd show up. He moved in the direction of the Olsons, Charlotte trailing behind him. "Hey guys, what's up?" He asked, grabbing a form and beginning to fill it out.
