Gryffindor,Practice
Jacob was excited to get another practice underway. They'd been having really great practices this far, which was no surprise to the young Gryffindor. He knew they had a good team and that they played effectively in years past. It was just really exciting to see the newer players to the team meshing so easily. Jacob was glad that he and Marcos seemed to be getting on well and doing Lizzie proud. He couldn't wait to write a letter to her after practice letting her know just how good things were going.

Finishing his stretches, Jacob waited patiently for the rest of the team to arrive onto the pitch. His broom and gear were right beside him on the grass, and Jacob pulled over a shin guard and began securing it in place as he waited.

Just a quick arrival and I'm hoping we can get really going tomorrow![/ooc
 
Willow headed down to the quidditch pitch. She felt comfortable in her decision to play as seeker instead of beater and she was glad to be on the teams official alternative. She was a little surprised that she was the first person on the pitch other than jacob. "Hey Jacob. How are you going" she asked as she sat down on the grass and, following her friends leed, started stretching.
 
Marcos was on the pitch with Jacob, he could admit that the more he worked with Jacob his frustration lessened, it was still pretty strong against really himself and the former captain but he liked the younger boy and he could tell he was more than capable. He stood with him as the team members arrived at the pitch. He hoped they could maybe do someone of the ideas that Jacob had suggested when they'd talked but he wasn't too sure how much time time they might have. In any case, he was just ready and raring to get started, they would host a good practice. ​
 
Fleur was eager for this practice. She liked being part of the Quidditch team a lot, and especially enjoyed when they were just hanging out and playing. She wasn't the most competitive, so practices were perfect for her. She got to play, without having to worry about the other team winning and everyone getting all upset about it. The girl walked over to the Quidditch pitch with her broom, then waved at the people already gathered there. "Hey guys!" She said, grinning at them all in turn. She stood close to Willow, who was one of her good friends.
 
Onyx sauntered down to the pitch, an ear-splitting grin on his face. He wandered over towards the captains. "Hey guys," he greeted brightly. He gave Jake a nudge. "Sapph is stoked. She wants to use me for target practice." He snickered. He wandered a little bit away and plopped down onto the grass. "Oi, Marcos!" He waved at the boy. "Kira told me to tell you to be careful. And to say hi. Real worrier, she is," he couldn't help but be in a good mood. He noticed Fleur and Willow nearby and he grinned at them too. "'Ello ladies!" He greeted cheerily.
 
Gabriel was excited and ready for the new quidditch season. Without Lizzie they had to rock as well and he was confident that they would have a great time. Gryffindor had to roar! The blonde boy walked on the pitch and smiled at both Jacob and his best mate Marcos. It was strange seeing him up there, but he would do fine he figured. '' Hi guys! I'm so ready for this.'' Gabriel said excited. He than walked over to Marcos and went standing next to him. '' Hey dude. Ready for me scoring a lot?'' He than said teasing. He hoped he could live up to it and make that true. He waited for the rest to arrive and to jump on his broom. He was born ready.
 
"Ok, let's split into two teams" the teen stated after he'd finished securing his gear. "Me, Willow, Jessica, Fleur, and Gabriel against Marcos, Syrus, Gwen, Onyx, and Jemma?" he called out, looking to Marcos for approval. It would be fun to play hard for a bit.

Marcos nodded in agreement and looked towards the members of his team. He gave them all a smile and nodded before shooting up into the air. He was so eager to get started on this. The boy was very hopeful for a productive try-out. They might be playing against other teammates in a mock game but there was no reason to not take this with a degree of seriousness. The gryffindor got to a set of hoops and waited for the chasers to approach.​
 
Fleur liked the idea of playing in two teams and grinned happily when Jacob suggested it. She gave Willow a high five when she heard they were together. Their team didn't have a keeper, but they wouldn't need one because they would have the quaffle all the time, Fleur was sure. As if to prove it, she managed to get the quaffle first and started to head over to where Marcos was guarding the hoops.
 
willow smiled as people showed up and fleur came to stand near her. "Hey Fleur. I'm great, how have you been going?" she asked. she hadn't had the chance to hang out with fleur much yet since going back. she knew her friend was about to start her OWL year and had the added responsibility of perfect duty. and truth be told she hadn't made that much of an extra effort either. As Jacob said who would be playing who she smiled. awesome she was playing with flour. she gave her friend a high five before mounting her broom. she smiled at syrus. "It's on Stilinski" she said raising an eyebrow as a challenge. It would be good to have another competition against him to see who could get the snitch first. this time without a slytherin rocking up and thinking she knew better.
 
Fleur was glad no other chasers seemed to be on her tail yet, and she kept flying with the quaffle tucked under her arm. As an alternate, she had never really gotten the chance to show off her skills outside of practices. And with new captains, she knew it was important to make a good impression.
 
Gabriel was ready for this practice. And liked the idea of Jacob to play in two teams, that was a really good idea he thought. He grinned at Marcos and was trying to score with him. He looked at his team and smiled. He didn't knew everyone but she familliar faces. Fleur and Jessica were both chasers he figured, he watched to who their keeper would be he wasn't going too at least. He needed to practice on his own area. When they started Gabriel kicked off from the ground and flew along as he noticed Fleur had taken the quaffle. She was a part of his team now so he was glad they were going well so far. He didn't liked losing, also if it was from his own team. Gabriel always wanted to win. He flew next to Fleur in case she needed some help and looked closely to their goal to Marcos.
 
Jacob flew up in the air with his team. They didn't have a Keeper, but he was confident they wouldn't need one. He grinned as Fleur took control of the quaffle, which was just what he'd hoped for. Spotting a bludger, Jacob smacked it away from his teammates. Next time, he'd try to hit someone.
 
Willow saw fleur making her way across the pitch with the quaffle. she kept looking trying to find the snitch. She saw a glint of gold flit across the grass underneath her. She drew her broom into a dive to try and find it but before she was even halfway there it had gone just the reflection of the sun of someones watch.
 
Onyx nodded when they were told to split into teams, taking note of who he was with. He let out a sigh of relief when Marcos was on his team. Kira would kill him if he took the older boy out with a bludger. He took to the air and after a few moments he spotted a bludger nearby. His swing was terribly off, though, and the ball flew away from him. Not one to give up, Onyx started planning his next move.
 
Fleur noticed Gabriel was flying after her, but remembered he was on her team so didn't mi nd that much. She flew up to the hoops with the quaffle, trying to guess which of the hoops was the best one to try. She tried to pretend to go for the right one, but when she threw it at the middle one instead, Marcos still blocked it. A bit disappointed, Fleur flew off so Gabriel could get it next.

Onyx flew up to a bludger and swung again, aiming for Gabriel. He smiled as his bat connected, but that smile quickly faded as the ball curved and hit Marcos instead. He covered his mouth with his hand as it connected with the other boy. Kira was going to kill him. "Sorry!" He called apologetically before flying off.
 
Marcos caught the ball when one of the new chasers attempted to throw it in the middle hoop. He was pleased to have blocked it and aimed for one of the chasers on his "team" to catch the ball. He was pleased to have caught the first attempt on goal, it wouldn't have been good if he'd missed. In the moment that the ball left his hands, he felt the firm hit of a bludger, hitting square against his ribs. He gasped at the sudden pain, but had to just brush it down. There was a practice to do. ​

Willow flew looking to see if she could see the snitch. She watched as the chasers approached the goals and was a little disappointed when feur didn’t manage to score. She then flew on keeping her eyes open for the snitch.
 
Rule 2A

Gabriel saw how Fleur managed to miss. Marcos was a good keeper but he would try to score no matter what. And Gabriel payed attention as he saw a bludger going past him and hit Marcos. He tried to see where it came from. But saw this as an opportunity to take the quaffle and managed to get it before the other team chaser could grab it. Gabriel took the quaffle and quickly threw it now that Marcos was hit. And saw it going through the left ring. He cheered as this was a good start for him. And the game was on. He winked at Marcos and grinned.
 
Willow thought she saw a glimmer of gold. She flew towards it but as a cheer came from the goals she turned her focus for just a split second but a split second was split took for the glimmer to disappear.
 
Jacob grinned wickedly as he smacked another bludger, this time at Gwen. He watched as it connected nicely and then he flew off to keep protecting the players on his 'team.'
 
Syrus came along to practice running late. "Sorry, sorry. I'm here," the seventh year shouted his arrival and mounted his broomstick right at the moment after he touched the field. He was a bit out of breath from running down the stairs and would've flown the rest of the way out if it had come to mind, "Where am I playing today?"
 
Onyx caught up with another bludger quickly. His training with Sapphire had paid off, he was getting better at this. He swung at the ball, pleased to see it hit the other boy. Gabriel, he thought. That was good. He grinned impishly before flying off again. This was fun.
 
Willow circled the pitch watching the bludgers star hitting some of the other players. Jacob hit Gwen and then onyx hit someone who she couldn't tell. She kept looking for the small golden ball she didn't see it but she did see syrus taking to the sky. She swooped down to meet him. "Good evening" she said. "You are playing seeker opposed to me. your team is Gabriel, Marcos, Gwen, Onyx, and Jemma" she said. "It's on, how about the loser owes the other a butterbeer?" she said putting a bit more of an incentive on catching the snitch.
