[justify]Damian Metzger was ecstatic about having Quidditch again, he could just smell it in the air. Damian had his scarlet streak next to him, and he also had his ruby red Quidditch robes on, yet no gear on because he would not be trying out, he would be assigning others their positions. He was a sixth year now, and not as happy and piper anymore. Instead, he had gotten a little more serious. He had a list of members right now, but he did not know how many would be able to return from the previous year. Some graduated, but he hoped that he would have the same members that are still in the school to try out. Damian did not expect anyone to try out for seeker, because he was the seeker. But hey, someone could be his alternate! Sipping at a bottle of iced pumpkin juice, he waited for the others to come on down to the pitch, and try out for the team.[/justify][ooc]Okay guys, you know the drill, post arriving, but the real try outs will determine your spot on the team. Just walk up to Damian and announce what spot you want along with your name.[/ooc]

It was the gryffindor quidditch Tryouts today and briar wouldn't miss them for the world. she would even give up her shiny new prefect badge in order to be on the team, and that was saying something. even though she didn't think that she would become prefect in million years she had found that she was actually quite good at the role and was glad that she had been chosen.
Briar put on some comfy sports clothes. she then picked up her broom and made her way up to the north tower. she knew that people would find it off to be going to the north tower for quidditch trials but she had found the previous year that the north tower was the best place to start because she enjoyed the sudden thrill of falling before she mounted her broom.
once she reached the tower she looked round to make sure that no one was watching as it would be an irresponsible way to be a role model for younger students before jumping off and feeling the air shoot by and the earth rise to meat her. quickly she mounted the broom and leaned forward causing her to shoot forward like an arrow. in almost no time she was passing over the stands of the pitch and slowly coming to a stop in front of the captain where she dismounted. she noticed briefly that she was the first person there to try out, but she wasn't too surprised flying was a lot faster than walking. "hello Damian, I'm still Briar and want to try out for chaser again" she said as she knew that she had to introduce herself as park of the tryout but after being on the team for the last three years he already should have known her

The Gryffindor Qudditch try-outs had finally arrived! James couldn't wait to try out for the team and maybe even become part of it. His brother was great at Quidditch, and had been on the team every year except for his first year. He went over to Damian Metzger, the leader of the team, and told him what he would like to try out for. "Hello, I'm James Slick. I'd like to try out for seeker!" James thought that Seeker was the best part of the team because you could gain many points for your team and win the game. It also seemed pretty fun, after flying class.

Heidi, was flat out delirious. Crazy, insane, whatever word best suited this situation, Heidi was it. She had no experience on the broom, except her first year at Hogwarts. Other than the first years (which by the way had been the worst flight experience of her life), Heidi had nothing. To top it off, she was slim like a pencil and like a pencil very frail in so many ways. It gets worst, she had the nerve to walk like she knew the school system by hand and introduce herself. "Yes I'm Heidi Longbottom.." she said to the older boy and the worst part came, "I want to try out for beater" she had the broom, a good broom in hand (thanks to her aunt) and she had the confidence. All that was missing was skills, apparently she miss that part of the sign up sheet.

Danielle, excited for, her first time to have the chence to be in Her Quidditch Team, ran around the grounds, towards the Quidditch Pitch. She had two, places in mind. Chaser, and Seeker.She had learned from some older years, that seeker was difficult to get, and if you were to get it, it would most likely be the alternate. Wanting to be ing the spotlight, she quickly decided on chaser. Danielle, was one of the best flyers, in her first year class, it just came to her naturally. When she made it there she walked up to the older boy. "Danielle Warbeck. Chaser. Nice to meet you. And just for formality, what is your name?" Danielle said, confidently, smiling towards the older boy. Danielle tilted her head to the side, for a second and brought it back. She was a bit over-confident. But She thought, it was better than being to weak about it. She smiled and hopped on her broom to fly a few laps around the Pitch.

Riley Sparkles

-dead- Mother of 2.

Riley skipped down to the Quidditch Pitch, arm in arm with with her best friend Neveah. She had barely seen her over the last year, only during Quidditch. Riley was spending most of her time with her boy friend, Jerrod, who Nevaeh didn't approve too much of. It didn't stop Riley from liking him, from her point of view, he hadn't done anything to her to loose her trust. However, Nevaeh heard the rumors of his bullying other people, and just wanted to look out for her friend. Riley appreciated it, but got sick of her constant shaking of her head and mean looks whenever she left the dormitory.
But it didn't matter at this point. She was happy that she was with Nevaeh, doing the same thing that made them bond more last year. They reached the Captain, and each took turns to greet him. "Hey there Damian! Riley Sparkles, trying for chaser again." She grinned excitedly, keen to get back onto her Streak.

Skipping down to the Quidditch Pitch with Riley made it feel like the good old times. A lot of the last year, Nevaeh had been by herself, just floating throughout the school, not really making much of a name for herself. She hated being by herself, and felt very alone without her best friend. Being fifteen, having a girlfriend by your side was very important, and Nevaeh was missing her best friend terribly. And what made matters worse was that Riley was with a Slytherin - a boy with a horrible reputation, and Nevaeh was scared he was going to hurt her best friend. In some ways, if they broke up it would be good for Nevaeh, but she hoped it would be Riley's decision, so she would be okay with it.
Giggling with Riley made Nevaeh feel so much better, and they reached the Quidditch Pitch with smiles on their faces. Nevaeh waited while Riley greeted the Captain, before she moved forward, repeating the same thing, only using her name instead.

Rakas Varius

[justify]Taking his scarlet streak, Rakas went on down to the Quidditch Pitch wearing the same gear that he had worn previously. He liked being on the team because it meant that he was apart of something. The hyper kid saw that there was a group of girls and hardly any guys. Shrugging, he strolled on up and he announced, "I am trying out for Beater! Rakas Varius, and greetings to you." He probably looked really lame just then but he could care less. He did not mind it at all. He just wanted to get this started so that he could get on the team and so that he could show those bludgers who was boss. Rakas was really good at being a beater, but he was not going to go professionals. He did this during his free time, and even with the OWLs looming, he was going to stay in Quidditch even if he had a bludger knock out half of his brain cells.[/justify]

[justify]Damian looked over the group of cubs that arrived, and it appeared that he was the oldest one here in the bunch. He could not help but smile at Briar and he knew her name by this point. She was a prefect too along with Riley Sparkles. He took down the names and the positions that they were going for but they were lacking a keeper. Damian bit his lip and he let out a sigh. He introduced himself to the team, with a voice that did not seem to waver in the least bit so it meant that he was good in public speaking, "Okay guys, I am your captain, the team seeker, and also if you don't know my name yet, Damian Metzger. This is how it is going to go. Two laps around the pitch, one at moderate speed and the next at your fastest speed, before you take to the positions I assign you. Beaters, you will have to use only one arm, holding a bat." Damian waved his wand and used the leviatation charm to lift up the beaters bats and give them to the Longbottom and Varius, his teal eyes on them. "You guys take to the skies after your laps, and hit the bludgers. Slick, we already have a Seeker, which is me but if we need an alternate, go on ahead, so if you want, grab a snitch from the case and release it. Then catch it. Chasers, for now you all will have to pass the quaffle back and forth, because we don't really have a keeper right now. One of you can practice being a keeper to let the others. Riley, you don't mind being the keeper right now, do you?" Damian tapped the case with his foot, and after the two laps were done by everyone, the bludgers were released, and he used magic to toss the quaffle to the nearest Chaser trying out. He was going to be flying around on his own streak to see how many people would qualify on the team.[/justify][ooc=Instructions]Just follow Damian's instructions, and remember, the better the RP, the better chances that you make it on the team and get the position you want![/ooc]

[justify]Danielle smiled and nodded towards the captain, who introduced himself as, Damian. She smiled, and started her laps around the Quidditch Pitch. She worked pretty well, on the broom. She thought of it a some sort of race, even though it wasn't. "3rd." She whispered to herself. When it was the faster lap, she raced up to 2nd. "Alright." She smiled. When Damian threw her The Quaffle, She smiled gleefully. At first she just threw the Quaffle around, but that got to boring so she deicded to be a show-off. She went up in the air, and threw the Quaffle up, went straight up, to get, just before it started to drop down. She let go of it and caught right before it hit the ground. She threw it to the right and swirled to the right, just to catch it! The person asting a keeper, must have been confused, or even, amazed, so when Danielle threw the Quaffle, it zoomed right past her and into the ring. Danielle Raised her arms up, and yelled, "WOO! And the crowd goes wild!" Danielle yelled playfully. "Sorry about that, got a little excited! Anyways, I'll be keeper now, so you can try out for the spot you wanted!" Danielle smiled. She flew over to the girl, and handed her the Quaffle.[/justify]

[ooc]I'm sorry about the small godmod, I just thought thats what it would be like. This is my first time doing this, so I'm not sure I got this correct or not.[/ooc]

Georgiana Night was enjoying her third year so far even though she was barely into it. Her boyfriend, a fifth year was already working hard for his tests, being a Ravenclaw it is a given after all. But Georgie decided she'd go for another year of Quidditch being last year was alot of fun even though it had been more work then she had expected. Running down to the pitch in her warm up outfit she skidded to a stop near Damian. She was glad that the captain hadn't changed yet and he was still at the school, he managed to keep them going last year during the long winter months and Georgiana felt she had alot to learn from him still. "Hey there, I'm up for going for my spot again," she said glancing at a second year who had proclaimed going out for the spot just before she got there. Which Georgiana didn't mind, afterall last year she had beaten a 7th year was it? She couldn't quite remember and it didn't seem like she did have much competition cause it seemed they were all out for the chaser spots. Standing patiently watching the chaser pass the ball around she watched them get closer and closer to the girl who was acting as keeper; waiting for Damian to give her the go to get up in the air and in front of the hoops. Which she had found herself calling her own in her head.

Briar smiled back a Damian, they were both prefects, and she had been on the team for years, she hoped to be captain when he graduated, and then go on to play professionally. a few more students turned up and soon they were ready to try out.
When Damian said what he wanted them to do she got back on her broom and shooting around the pitch like a bullet, she easily faster than the rest. she let one of the younger students take the ball to begin with, and make her way to up keeping the girl with the quaffle covered. she was being a little bit reckless but it was sort of what she had been doing at her first quidditch try out. however after the ball had scored a goal she took the ball and pelted away to the middle of the pitch before turning back and zig zagging back up the field. there she was going fast and the rest of the pitch seemed a blur, but she was used to speed and was able to dodge every thing, she even thought she saw a glimmer from the snitch but she didn't pay attention to it. she barrel rolled as a bludger came at her, from her position upside down, mid roll she threw the ball to one of the other chasers letting them try out. she had been on the team for a few years already and she gathered Damian knew what she was capable of, so she may as well let someone else have a go at trying out.

Heidi listens to Damian’s instructions. She stood rooted on spot and look at the bat that came hailing at their direction. Oddly she caught it, funny a girl with no experience in the sport she was able to catch the bat with a good grip. She swung the bat side to side, this instrument heavy. Never mind that, Heidi ran towards the middle of the pitch at the same time she mounted her broom taking for the skies. Not bad for a good start, she was feeling that overcoming confidence. Luci, her aunt would be proud of Heidi. In a weird and unexplainable way, flying felt like…sailing for her. She got the same feeling when she way up high, rocking forth on her broom, Heidi dive to achieve her two laps around the pitch.


The feel of it all seem easy, she had mastered in just a few seconds, yet when she got to the part at swinging her bat, Heidi almost fell out of balance. The broom flew into the direction of the hoops in the mist of trying to a cut boulder away from one of the other players on the field. She did a fierce turn by the hoops and felt her broom barge right at it, not stopping on time the broom hit the hoop and made Heidi hurled at another direction. She fell still holding her broom, the only way she could regain herself right back up there was to fall. Thank Merlin, the fall and the broom coming down with her was no more than five feet in the air. Somehow she had lost distant already in the air when she lost control of the broom and for that she was capable of breaking her fall at fife feet up. Landing on her back, she let out a slight relief, ”I’m alright…alright I think” she stood up dusting her pants off.

[ooc]She hit the hoop and went hurling down where the broom manage to stop at fight feet above air and that's how she fell, sorry she never played the sport at all xD[/ooc]

Georgiana was getting antzy about getting up to the hoops. She moved her weight from foot to foot as she watched the others go for their own spots. Glancing towards the hoops she saw a girl fall and a bat fell not far from her feet. "Are you sure?" She asked leaning over picking up the bat to give to the girl as she said she was alright. During her previous year on the team she had seen plenty of kids take various routes to the Pitch's ground and falling almost never ended well. Once the bat was out of her hands she gripped her broom with both her hands hoping she'd be sent off soon, though she hadn't played a game since their last match the previous year Georgie spent most of her summer on her broom trying to increase her speed and manuvers.

The young girl watched as Briar, one of the chasers, dodge a bludger. Those were the kind of moves she had been practicing, for some reason the beaters on the other teams decided she should be the one to go last year. Getting hit over and over taught her to move or be hurt. Beater had been one of the spots she had been interested in the previous year but she found Keeper to suit her just fine. And now even though she wanted to get up there and block the quaffle she respected Damian as the captain and waited for his go ahead.

This is the day LeAnn had been waiting for. If someone would have told her two years ago that she would be doing this today she would have laughed in their faces as it just wasn’t something LeAnn ever could have seen herself doing. Then again, she had been brought up by a super model for a mother so Quidditch wasn’t something that people would expect someone like LeAnn to be in too. Technically she wasn’t in too it, well not when she was younger anyway, she only found her love for it recently when Andrew came into her life and started taking her to his Quidditch practices and games and such when her mother was pregnant and continued to do so even now when she was off on holiday. So today she knew she was doing this to prove to people that she wasn’t just a pretty face, even though she was, and that she had some other hidden talents. She had taken one of Andrew’s old beaters bats, which was still good despite being used before he got his new one, and made her way to the Quidditch pitch. She knew that the Captain was Kristen, one of her best friends, half brother so she assumed that he would put her on the team but after hearing how he treated Aphrodite last year she decided not to push her luck, she knew that he’d be stupid not to put her on the team when he saw her moves anyway. When she got to the pitch she introduced herself and told Damien that she was trying out for beater and took a seat, not wanting to be seen socialising with people that she didn’t know and was probably better than.

Upon hearing the instructions LeAnn got up off of her seat and grabbing her broom she mounted it and soared into the air was ease. Having a professional Quidditch Player and beater at that as her mother’s boyfriend, LeAnn had been able to get a few tips about how to handle herself on the broom and whatnot, especially with the bat. It was tricky at first but LeAnn was stronger and stronger than people thought, so she was able to handle the bad pretty easily. LeAnn started with a simple lap of the pitch and being so tiny she had the advantage of being pretty agile on the broom so she was able to throw in a few swoops and swerves in the air before leaning forward on her broom more and speeding off, going past a few of the other players that were obviously just too slow, she rolled her eyes at them and continued on to finish the lap. Once she’d finished the lap she stopped a waited for the bludgers to be released. Once they were she got the feel of the bat in her hand once more before speeding off after the bludgers.

As she flew about she saw a bludger coming towards her she narrowed her eyes at it, collecting all her strength and concentration into the centre of the bludger. Seeing the bludger get closer and closer she raised the bat above her head and as soon as it was close enough she let the bat fall and with an almighty force she hit the bludger in the very centre. Smirking as she heard a loud clack noise echo through the empty sky, LeAnn watched as the bludger flew into the distance. Once she made sure it wasn't going to fly back at her she swiftly turned her broom in a circle and flew off so she could check around for the other bludger. Flying around aimlessly as she waited for the other bludger to show itself she began to wonder where it was. Behind her she heard a swooshing noise, turning round she saw a bludger heading straight for her. With her instincts kicking in she immediately leaned down on her broom so she was just below the bludger. Flying out to the side a little and pulling up on her broom she was able to position herself behind it. Tailing the bludger until she was within hitting distance of it she raised her bat arm and with another swing she hit the bat with as much force as she could muster. LeAnn continued to fly around on the lookout for more bludgers, so far she felt she was doing a great job!
