[justify]Putting up fliers for the Quidditch Tryouts, Damian hoped that this year would be better than the last. They did have quite a few players, but the only reason that they had won the game last year was because the snitch was worth so much. Quidditch seemed to be so stressful, and he was glad that he had nothing else to really add onto his stress and mind right now other than NEWTs. The Gryffindor Prefect had his streak in hand, his Quidditch robes around his body and his hair was combed neatly. He hoped that he had everyone that showed up from the previous years come too. Damian looked around and he smiled a little bit more. The Pitch was as beautiful as ever. He wanted nothing more but to start flying. He used magic to carry the box with the Quidditch balls in it, and he looked around to see if anyone would arrive early or not.[/justify][ooc=Instructions]Here is what you do, just walk up to Damian, say your name (unless he knows you, so if you aren't new, just state your position) and say what you are trying out for. That is it, just the arriving post.[/ooc] |

Briar made her way to the quidditch pitch, she was starting to feel more like herself again. this year surprisingly she was early so she didn't need to fly down, instead she walked leisurely down. she had tried to be early this year as next year she hoped to have the job that Damian had held since she had joined the team, and she wanted to leave a good impression. she had trained hard all through the previous years she she doubted that she would have any problems getting on the team but she enjoyed try outs as flying with a bunch of players who she had never flown with before was fun, as everyone had their own style. "Hey Damian, I'm trying for chaser again this year" she said. walking over to where he had left the box. last year they had had a game joint team with Hufflepuff they had not played well together, (with what felt like just her Dannii and Damian taking on the whole opposing team) as a result of this they had almost lost to Slytherclaw. Thankfully this year she had been training one of the younger students to play chaser, she just hoped that he would make it onto the team.

Minos had spent at least an hour before the scheduled try-outs, glancing impatiently his watch again and again. He was dressed up with his robes, holding his scarlet streak while sitting on his bed waiting for time to slip away. It was the first time in his life that he was so anxious. The whole sensation was so overwhelming that he could easily say that it was competing his time in the forest, facing a bunch of large acromantulas, as a nerve-wrecking one. Sick of waiting, he left the common room earlier and mechanically made his way to the grounds. As he was heading to the pitch, he saw in the distance Briar. She was heading as well there for the try-outs. He tried to catch up with her but he managed to arrive later, just when she stated the post she was going to try-out for. "Hello guys. I'm Minoas and I would like to try for a chaser." he stated after he greeted the two people that were already there. He hadn't spoke before with Damian, the captain of the team but he knew him from the game with the hufflepuffs against slytherins and ravenclaws. He was ready to give his best shot. He had prepared well enough for this the past one year and he had a lot of help from the experience that Briar was carrying and was kind enough to share with him. He gave a rather forced smile to Briar because of his anxiety as they were waiting for further instructions. |

Heidi moved in small stride carrying her Sienna storm right underneath her arm. She wasn't up for it this year, trying out for Quidditch had been the last thing on her mind since the return of the school year. Yet here she was with her mediocre broomstick in hand and half the courage she summon from out of nowhere to try out for again. She arrived at the pitch, waving to Damian and Briar, smiling at the younger boy who must be new to trying out. "I'm Heidi, and I'm going for Beater again" she sweep her broom down besides her. She'd almost forgot last year try-outs, till she was reminded of the fall. Going through that again will be the highlight of her life once more, oh well it's not like she had anything better to do. |

Sidda had scared herself. She was early for Quidditch tryouts. She was never early - for anything. It was weirding her out. Despite this, she marched onto the Quidditch pitch, head held high, broom in hand and excited to see a few familiar faces. She hadn't tried out for the team last year, as she had wanted to focus on passing her OWLs. Now that they were behind her, she was excited to be in the air again. She walked up to Damian, who she remembered from the team two years ago, stuck out her hand, and said, "Hi. I'm Sidda. You might not remember me - I wasn't on the team last year, but I was the year before. Chaser or Seeker, wherever you need me. Having introduced herself, she went to stand beside her best friend Briar, grinning excitedly. "This is gonna be so much fun!" she stage whispered to Bri, nudging her in the ribs. She was excited and ready to get back in the air. |

James was now in his third year, and he wanted to be the seeker this year. Last year was the alternate seeker and never got to play. He went to the Quidditch pitch to try out for seeker yet again. Maybe, this year, he would actually get it. James' brother Adrian was on a professional Quidditch team. He wanted to be like his brother. He saw a group of Gryffindor students in the middle of the pitch. "Hey, I'd like to try out for seeker again this year.", he told the captain of the team, of whose name he had forgotten. He waited until he could try out. |

[justify]Having replaced that godawful broom he had before, Rakas could not wait until he tried out his scarlet streak out on the field. As a team beater for so many years, Rakas was excited that he was going to be able to get to hit things at incredible speed! Taking his bat, the Gryffindor Sixth Year made his way down to the pitch where he saw Damian. He waved to the lad before he looked at the others on the field. He wondered if anyone else was playing for beater other than Heidi. He shrugged and he said, "Hi Damian, beater again!" He packed his bat over his shoulder, his red hair matching his robes and broom. He really was going to be one red blur. All he needed was red contacts and he could have been the team mascot or something too.[/justify] |

Nevaeh walked down to the Quidditch Pitch, this time without Riley by her side. Last year they had both tried out together, but there was no sight of Riley this year. Nevaeh knew it was because she was going through a rough patch, what with her parent's divorce, and breaking up with her boyfriend and all. But what made it worse is that Riley hadn't spoken to her best friend, Nevaeh, in ages; not since she told Nevaeh to leave her alone. Sighing, Nevaeh pushed the thoughts out of her head and focused on the task at hand. If she wanted to become a Professional Quidditch Player, she going to have to get on the team again, but not as a sub. She wanted to play in all the games, she loved the game so dearly. Pushing the tinge of butterflies in her stomach aside, Nevaeh walked confidently up to Damian and with her best smile she stated, "Nevaeh Haze; going for Chaser again." |

Briar Saw a lot of people arriving at the pitch. As Minoas arrived she smiled and winked. "Good luck" she whispered hoping he had remembered what they had gone through during their training session together. then she saw a familiar yet rather surprising flash of fire heading down from the castle. Sid her friend "Hey Sid, nice to see you here." she said as her friend said that she was trying for chaser and seeker. It would be awesome if the three of them were the team chasers. a few other people arrived, a couple of beaters who had been on the team the previous year, and even another seeker. however they had no keeper. when another heat appeared she recognised Nevaeh. four people trying out for chaser meant that they wouldn't all get a spot. she hoped that she did, she needed something to focus on this year. Even though she wanted everyone else to get what they wanted, she would fight for her spot if it came to it. |

As more and more gryffindors were arriving in the pitch to dare their luck for a position in the team, Minoas was getting more and more ready to give it a go. He might was the younger among them but he had nothing to fear. He was going to depend on his skills that had improved the past one year. He thanked Briar for her support once again and smiled. Seemed that chaser's position was quite popular and he liked that. He was always up for a friendly competition. Of course he wouldn't like to take Briar's position, concluding her out of the team. He wasn't going to accept that. Other than that, the position was up for graps. |

[justify] Aphrodite approached the Quidditch Pitch, her newly purchased broom clutched tightly within her hands. Aphrodite loved Quidditch, so much. So she was excited that tryouts were going on. What she wasn't excited about was seeing the faces of her future possible teammates. Yes Aphrodite was fairly nice and accepting towards everyone she knew, but she could still think they were idiots right? Actually the young cub didn't even know half of them, so her feelings mostly remained to a few of the ones she did remember from last year. Her honey blonde hair was tried back in a bright red ribbon once again to show her support for her house colors. Her thin frame approached Damian and she looked at him softly. "I'm here to try out for Chaser again." She smiled softly and brushed a few strands out of her face and walked away from Damian to prepare herself with the others. When she approached them she smiled at a few and waved at the newcomers to be friendly. But for those on the team she didn't really like all that much she just didn't pay much attention to them. Aphrodite was not like Krystin whom pretty much made a war out of not liking someone. Aphrodite put some gloves on to help her keep grip of the broom better for when the tryouts began. She hoped her skills were up to speed with everyone else's this year because she really wanted to play again. Most of her Holiday break has been spent with her singing coach and not playing Qudditch though she hadn't practiced in awhile. [/justify] |

[justify]Damian looked around the members that wanted a spot, and this time, they were lacking a Keeper. Some were trying out for seeker, but he didn't really understand why. He was the seeker of the team, and he was not going to miss out on a chance to play Quidditch for his final year. So, he turned to the younger Gryffindor and he said, "Then, Slick, you will have to be an alternate, because the Seeker position isn't exactly open. But those trying out for chasers, I need one of you to be the Keeper. Whichever has more experience with guarding than shooting. Once one of you has come forward with that, we will continue on with the try outs."[/justify] |

Briar realised that there were far too many chasers and no keeper at about the same time Damian did. although she could probably play as keeper there was no way that she wanted to. she liked the action in the game, chaser had always been her position of choice and she had played that part well for the house for quite a few years. she wouldn't mind beater but keeper was just boring to her. she hoped that she wouldn't be the one nominated for the position change, the previous year she had played in the house cup and according to the hufflepuff house captain she had been pretty good in her position, and Dannii had gone to play pro. Briar Agreed with the former hufflepuff as many times she thought that the entire gryfinpuff attack was her work. so instead of talking Briar Just stood there watching to see if anyone would choose to change positions. there would only be one way she would play keeper and that would be if Minoas the boy who had become a brother to her ended up nominated to play keeper, as she had been training him and she wanted him to have a proper go at chaser. |

Heidi opt out of this decision. Beater were needed regardless, she and Rakas were the main one here to reclaim their spots at beaters. Besides she would do terrible in other positions, she had just found her wings for flying so switching would be a bad decision on her spot. They should remember her try-outs last year, the fall left quite a mark on her shoulder. She remain silence looking over the younger students or Sid, the older girl. She felt bad for assuming one of them would say anything, though how was she suppose to act right now? Picking up her broom she look over Rakas, she wanted to practice with him if he wanted too, she gave him a signal to join. Heidi wanted to fly today and get better at her position. |

There was an awkward moment of silence after Damian's announcement. It seemed no-one was willing to step forward. Sidda had only had experience playing Chaser - she had originally gone for Seeker, but only ended up as alternate. Damian, as captain, automatically got his position - Seeker. The young blond boy would probably be alternate Seeker. Heidi and the boy with very red hair (the ultimate ginger, she mused) would be Beaters. Going for Chaser was Sidda, Briar, Minoas, Nevaeh and the blond with the red ribbon. She was really very reluctant to give up her preferred position, but if no-one else was willing and the team needed it...taking a deep breath, Sidda stepped forward, saying, "I don't have any experience, but if no-one else wants to be Keeper, then I guess I'll do it - although you'll probably have to train me a bit. Or maybe - just an idea - two of us could alternate between Keeper and Chaser?" That would be a good arrangement, she thought - that way, instead of one player giving up the role they wanted, two of them could alternate, meaning that they'd both get time playing as Chasers, and they'd also fill the Keeper role. It would also, she thought, be an advantage - they'd understand the game from two positions' perspectives, allowing them to work together better. But, if her idea wasn't taken, then she'd sacrifice her hopes to fill the role - after all, maybe next year she could be Chaser. |
