Y49 Slytherin Quidditch Try-Outs

Horror Zhefarovich decided to ask for a co-captain because he took up another position in the school. He was co-leader of the Student Defence Association. He didn't care who he was leading it with, but he knew what his limitations were. And he wanted more time to work on his NEWTs as well. So, after getting the flyers and the bulletin board updated, Horror made it to the pitch earlier than expected. He tapped the clipboard as others arrived, and once it was time, he started to speak. "This is my last year here. Vanity is my co-captain now. Returning players, just help the recruits. There are more bludgers and snitches out there. If you don't know what to do or how to play, then leave. So, get to it." Horror was as blunt as he always was, and expected everyone to know how to try out.

It was disappointing that Terror had already graduated the previous year. He had been the fun chaser in the team. It was even more disappointing however to know that Mettlestone was made co-captain. Eurydice's beef with two Slytherins had easily become known once her cousin had finally spilled the beans to Mikael. And while Sayuri had never been particularly close to Eurydice, that did not mean she liked and tolerated it when other people targeted her family. It was disappointing enough that Mettlestone was a prefect. And so, since she didn't really have anything better to do today, Sayuri decided to help the hopefuls by aiming quaffles at their heads passing quaffles, and if she would fly just a little too close to Mettlestone every now and then, it was purely coincidental. Well, surely since she was made Quidditch co-captain, she should be at least this good on a broom.​

Echo had been waiting until she was old enough to try out for the team. She may have liked to look good, wear her hair and nails in elaborate styles, and preferred to be neat over anything messy, but that for the most part went completely out the window if she got stuck into some competition.

"My names Echo, I want to try out for Chaser." She knew she'd be one of the youngest, but it would only mean that by the time she was one of the older students, she'd have a great deal of skill on her back. Echo also wasn't as tall as most of the other students and she fully intended to use that to her advantage.

Once in the air, she was quick to fly in line with the other chasers, just in case they needed to pass to her. After a while the quaffle was thrown back out onto the pitch after a successful block and Echo knew this was her time to shine. She darted forward on her broom, grabbing the ball and tucking it under her arm before turning 180 degrees in the air and flying off the other direction. Bludgers came her way but she managed to dodge them, dropping high and low as needed. Once shed reached the hoops, Echo threw the ball as hard as she could, pretending the hoops was her little brothers head, and watched as it sailed straight through. Echo continued to help the other chasers score too, passing as often as she could.

"Hope that was okay!" She told the captains once she'd returned to the ground, before taking a seat to watch the rest of the tryouts.​
