Being hit by a bludger and then noticing Savannah finding the snitch quickly meant Michael was doing a terrible job at the keeper side of his game, but at least the captaincy wasn't entirely failing. "Nicely done!" he called, clapping his hands together before grabbing the quaffle that had gone...

Michael took his place in front of the hoops, mostly watching out for the quaffle - and getting a bludger to his side for his trouble. He wheezed, looking around and giving Lucy a wave. "Good one," he managed to get out, equal parts pained and proud.

Ravenclaw,PracticeMichael was, naturally, disappointed in how the last game had gone. Not with the team, of course - they had done very well. But he was disappointed in himself as a leader, and disappointed again in how Quidditch could turn out such nothing results. It was, frankly, why he...

Michael was pleased to see his team score, but was quickly hit with a bludger that meant he missed Lennox's shot. He winced, throwing the quaffle back out into play.

Michael wasn't at his best at the moment, but he knew he had to put his best foot forward for the team as he couldn't let them down. He handed in the lineup to the ref and then turned to the team with a small smile. "Alright, so we know Slytherin's not exactly got the strongest teamwork, but we...

Michael kept an eye out, clapping his hands together to kind of cheer everyone on. "Keep it up!" he called, hoping to be encouraging.

Michael looked over when he heard Lucy the younger shout, his attention turning to Savannah to make sure she was alright, but then had to quickly focus when Lucy the elder took the quaffle back again.

Michael was trying hard not to be distracted but due to being a boy he wasn't the best at doing multiple things at once, apparently.

Michael caught his breath as he kept an eye on everything going on.

Michael managed to block a quaffle (good) and a bludger (bad) with his body. He wheezed, tossing the quaffle back out and giving a thumbs-up to Lucy. At least she hadn't lost her touch over the break.

Ravenclaw,PracticeIt was a bright sunny morning, and Michael was glad to throw himself into another training session. Admittedly, playing keeper didn't allow for much free flying, but he could focus entirely on the team and planning things out for their upcoming game, which was enough of a...

It's funny the things that make it harder to read for some people make it really compelling for me :r

continued from here It would have been all too easy for Michael to crumble. To be selfish, to demand that Margo put her life on hold for a year to wait for him. There was a part of him that wanted to just do that. But as soon as he looked at her, he knew there was absolutely no way he could ask...

Sorry this took so long! Thanks everyone for trying out! This was actually a pretty tough call, rude of you all to make it so :r I'm really sorry I couldn't fit everyone on the team, please don't take it personally if I'm not able to give you a spot this year! There's always next time...

However bad Michael had anticipated this feeling, the reality of it was far worse. He wanted to backtrack, insist that he hadn't been serious and that they'd definitely work it out and just manage for a year, but in his heart he knew that wasn't entirely true. Sure, they could both sit around on...

Tryouts will close in about 48 hours from now! If any first years would like to try out, you are more than welcome to, just please send me a PM first and I'll give you the okay! (please note however it is unlikely I will be able to give you a spot on the team)

https://hogwarts.nz/threads/boilover.122042/ hope it's okay, happy to change anything as needed!

Going over the things that needed to be said was one thing, actually working out how to say them was another. There was only so much he could plan out in advance and put together in his head, and Michael found himself rather at a loss for words, squeezing Margo's hand back as he considered what...

Michael would have been lying if he said he wasn't 1) aware that they needed to talk about the next year and 2) putting off having that conversation as long as reasonably possible. He had a very strong tendency to overanalyse, to look at things from every possible angle and, frankly, when it...
