Slytherin,Practice
During her time at Hogwarts, Celia had accomplished a lot — dueling championships, Quidditch championships, leadership positions — but one goal remained elusive: She still hadn't forced a team to forfeit by bludgering them into submission. That, she decided, would be her main priority this year. While it would be nice to win another Quidditch cup, the last year had taught her that she couldn't rely on her seekers. No, the only thing she could trust was her own skill, and Celia knew she was the best beater at the school. Besides, winning the cup wouldn't really provide her any personal benefit since she was graduating soon. But seeing the fear and dismay on her opponents' faces as she took them out one by one? Now, that would be priceless.
That didn't mean Celia planned on letting up during practices, however. She might be a little less concerned with winning the cup, but she still wanted to see the other teams lose (or at least suffer). Plus she'd admittedly grown invested in the Slytherin team's legacy of success. It was why she'd taken on an additional seeker. In two years, Slytherin would lose its best players, and Celia was hoping to ease the transition by getting a headstart on training the next generation of players. (And if Ivelisse took Toby's addition to the team as some kind of message about her own skills, well, that was just a bonus.)
As always, Celia had gotten to the pitch early. The rain she had hoped for during tryouts was finally here, albeit in the form of a pathetic drizzle. At least it wasn't as cold, and there was no wind. "Hurry up and gather around," she called, frowning at the last person to arrive. "We have three new members this year: Horror, our new keeper; Terror, our new chaser; and Toby, our new seeker." She gave them the briefest of smiles before her expression turned serious. "As a reminder, no one's spot on the starting lineup is guaranteed. You have to earn it by doing well during practices. 'Alternates' have just as much of a shot at starting in games as other team members," she said, giving Ivelisse and Atlas a significant look. The team might not have a dedicated alternate chaser, but she was perfectly willing to find a replacement if the other chasers did poorly.
"Our first match is against Hufflepuff. They might have won the cup last year, but I think anyone who has paid attention to their team's overall performance would agree that it was a fluke, and we'll be proving that this year. They do have a decent chaser, so Lennox, Atlas, Terror — I want you practicing steals and interceptions. As for everyone else, you should know what you're doing by now." After all, they'd already had a mock practice during tryouts. "Now get in the air." Celia blew her whistle and released the Quidditch balls before taking off herself.

Out of Character: - No arrivals, just get started! Practice will close two weeks from now when the June 23 match begins.
