Y14 Slytherin Quidditch Try-Outs

[Isabella Romanes]

After Ariah Rowan had left and named Isabella Romanes completely in charge, she thought that all this was a little much. She was Prefect, Accio! Editor, and now Quidditch Captain. Isabella went down to the Pitch, emerald robes in high contrast with her magenta eyes. She knew that Jaden West was not allowed to try out this year, which was a shame. They hardly had any players to begin with. She just hoped that some others would come out and join them this year. Where were all the snakes at? Her streak in her right hand, her blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, she waited for her Slytherin Players to arrive.​

Those that are trying out, state your name and position. Just post arriving for right now.

 

[Kieran Breck]

After asking for directions of the whereabouts of the quidditch pitch, Kieran made his way in the magnificent area, surrounded by stands and towers. He didn't have played quidditch before in his life but he was an exceptional flyer and wanted to put his skills to the test and see the performance of his brand new streak. He had nothing to lose from trying for a position in his house's team. He was feeling it inside him that he was made for that. He spotted a beautiful, older girl waiting on the centre of the pitch and he approached her, guessing that she was the captain.
Hello there! I'm Kieran Breck. I don't have a background experience in quidditch and I haven't played for a specific position before but I would like to try for a chaser.

 

[Milena La Fleur]

Finally, Quidditch try-outs. Milena was excited when she heard that today would be try-outs, the blonde had been the teams seeker for three or four consecutive years. As it was the only thing she loved the most, Quidditch helped her a lot in terms of overcoming her fear of heights. Also it made her the person she is today, with newly ironed robes for her to wear. Which also made her decide to tie her hair in a ponytail, as it would be a swift ride. She went straight to the pitch and saw two students there, one was their Team Captain and it wasn't Ariah anymore. She had known her for almost a year now, though they weren't that close Milena loved her friendliness and now he hoped the new captain would be the same as well. The Slytherin arrived flashing a light smile to her Captain to her new team mate.

"Good day Everyone! Hey Isabella Congrats on being perfect and Captain. she greeted. Then glanced at the boy and smiled at him. She didn't wanted to be misunderstood of something as a rebel and mean girl or something. She knew that it was indeed hard to be a Perfect and at the same time the captain of the team, along with Professor Styx being the Head of House. Milena have saw the list of Prefects and memorized the Slytherin ones just in case."Milena La Fleur, trying for seeker again." she stated hoping that their team captain knew that she was the former seeker of the team. She loved her positioned as it was the only thing she treasured the most in the school.

 

[Alyss Summers]

Alyss couldn't help but smile satisfied, when she saw Isabella on the Quidditch Pitch. Sure she was disappointed that she hadn't been chosen as Captain, but maybe she had a chance next year, especially since she had been on the team since her second year. The sixteen year old girl had her hair up in a high ponytail, her fringe pushed out of her eyes by a green, sparkly headband, showing that she truly was a snake, and proud of it. She was holding her Emerald streak tightly in her left hand, as she arrived on the Quidditch Pitch, walking over to where the others were. She recognised Milena and Isabella obviously, as they had been on the team with her before, but there was a new person, probably a second year, judging from how young he looked, that was trying out. 'Hey Isabella, Milena,' Alyss called out, as she joined them. 'I wonder what's going to happen now that some of the others have left? Hopefully we have some second years that will step up to the plate this year and join the team.' She smiled genuinely at the young boy that stood in front of her, and turned back to Isabella. 'Alyss Summers, and trying out for Chaser... As usual.' She smirked, and walked to stand to the left of Isabella, making sure that she would be ready for when the try outs began.​

 

[Kendra Vyhnal]

Taking her Emerald streak in hand, Kendra made her way down to the Quidditch pitch, where she decided that instead of being a chaser, she would go for a Keeper. Ariah had graduated, and she would try out for that position. When she heard that Ariah's Co-Captain was just named captain, Kendra was happy because Isabella had played a mean game of Quidditch. Last year, she showed no fear in trying to beat down the Head Girl in the game. Kendra hated the fact that some of the chasers that were in Slytherin did not play as much. Half the time, she thought it was just her and Jeremy, and then Alyss came in. Kendra came forth and she smiled at the others, "Hey guys, Kendra here, and this year I am trying out for Keeper." Kendra had her streak ready in her hand, and she was hoping that soon she would be able to take the skies, and show everyone what she was made of.​

 

[Zayne Baros]

This year was going to be a good year for Zayne Baros. He had a feeling from it. He was going to try out for Beater again. He had bought a new broomstick, and he was dressed in his usual Quidditch robes. Zayne headed down to the Quidditch pitch excited about trying out this year again. His dad was a coach of the team, and with his sister, one that he never knew he had, moved in, Suzanne seemed to have calmed down with hating on his blood status. He had yet to tell Kaia the truth about what he was, but he was thinking about telling her one of these days. Once he was on the pitch, the Slytherin boy approached the captain, and he smiled lightly, "Zayne Baros, trying out for Beater." Beater was the best position for someone like him. He had the upper body strength for it. Many people seemed to be here, but once he counted the positions in his mind, and then the people here, they had just enough for a full team. Zayne hoped that more would arrive.​

 

[Artemis Jackson]

Artemis Jackson wasn't exactly confident for trying out as Keeper for the Quidditch team. Lately, she hasn't practiced so much when it was the holidays. Sure she has, but only for a few hours. Artemis bit her lower lip nervously and advanced to the Quidditch Pitch holding her newly bought broom, The Sienna Storm. The said broom costed only for a few galleons. Her father objected when Artemis wanted those expensive looking and fancy brooms. Instead, he got her a good broom that was just right for her. A promise is a promise, Artemis thought while walking to the group of people who huddled close to one another on the Pitch. Artemis rubbed the butt of her broomstick nervously while walking very cautiously. Before fully showing herself to the crowd, she immediately thought on how to handle a broom. The female Slytherin did not fully expect to be in with the team, since she's got other errands to handle such as studying and trying out for a sisterhood. Being part of one sounded fun, so she decided to try it out. The whole view of the Quidditch Pitch suddenly made her alert and she inhaled the fresh scent. She was hopefully ready, but not as sure as she was. Artemis saw a group of people with a girl in the center which made Artemis sure that she was the captain of the Slytherin team. "Captain," Artemis muttered. She stood walked towards the girl a few yards away with a confident smirk on her abnormally pale features. Don't expect it, Artemis once thought again. She faced the supposed captain and spoke with a normal tone as if conversing casually with her. "Artemis Jackson, second year. Trying for Keeper." The Slytherin nodded once and stood just near the captain, waiting for further instructions on what they will do. ​

 

[Isabella Romanes]

The Prefect looked to those that said that they were trying out. They seemed like they were saying 'again' a lot, like she would not know what position that they had before. Isabella was Co-Captain last year. She had been on the team since her second year, so Isabella knew quite a bit. She looked at the team, before she pointed to the second year that was named Artemis Jackson, "We need another Chaser, Jackson, and would prefer you to take that position. But if you manage to do better than Snow, it is yours. Your body seems to be fit for both. And Chasers are rather important." Isabella looked to the others, before she said finally, "Take to the skies, and do three laps. One at your most comfortable speed and the other two at your top speed. Once you are done, Chasers will come down, grab the quaffle and practice passing and scoring a goal. Snow will be protecting the goal on the North end. Jackson, I would like for you to try out for both Chaser and Keeper, guarding the South end toward the latter half of practice. Baros, protect the chasers and keeper from the bludgers. Finally, you," Isabella looked to Milena, "will practice catching the snitch." Isabella did not lack any authority in her words. She expected them to get this done and done fast.​

 

[Kendra Vyhnal]

Kendra almost felt a little bad for the second year that was going to be trying out for Keeper as well, while they needed another Chaser, which would have been Kendra if she had not thought that she would be a good chaser anyway. Kendra let out a sigh before she shrugged and mounted her broom. She flew off to do her laps, the first one at a good speed where she could control everything she did, and once that was was completed, her other two laps were at her top speed. And on this broom, she was pretty fast with her broom. Once she finished her laps, her hair was an absolutely mess, but she could care less. She fixed it and she wondered what would someone else think about her changing positions. Why was she even thinking about that person anyway? She snorted and she flew up to the North end to guard the hoops from the chasers. She would be deviously good at it because she knew their moves, unless they came up with new ones over the holidays. Kendra almost doubted that. She hoped that she would end up as the Keeper rather than Chaser. There was a good reason why, but she did not feel like telling anyone anyway.​

 

[Milena La Fleur]

It was kind of different how Isabella handled the team, she was more strict from Milena's perception. Unlike Ariah's leadership before, still she didn't cared about that as it didn't mattered as long as she'll be in the team and most of all making the team win. With the given signal Milena instantly kicked held her broom and kicked off the ground as hard as she could. Flying up in the sky awaiting for the snitch to be set free. From the up there, some students were watching them. As the snitch rushed through the air, Milena immediately followed it. She was fast, perhaps too fast enough that the snitch changed it path. The Blonde then mounted her broom to turn her direction, following the trail of snitch. She then lowered her flight as the golden snitch was nearly on the ground, she gasp for air and stood on her broom. Balancing herself, the snitch was just inches away from the Slytherin. Without any thinking, Milena jumped of her broom and opened her hands reaching for the snitch. Closing her eyes hoping that the snitch was in her hand, as she opened her eyes the snitch was inside her right hand. With pride and joy she raised her fist into the air, then returned to Isabella to inform her that she got the snitch. Good thing Milena didn't have any bruises or anything, thanks to her safety gear.

[Artemis Jackson]

The captain's words surprised Artemis so much. She wanted to know each Slytherin's desired position for Quidditch. "Very well." Artemis did not have an option to comment back in such a way the captain won't like it. She might be immediately get kicked out of the team if ever she did that. Once all the instructions were done, almost everyone kicked into the air and did their laps. Artemis took a ponytail that was placed on her thin right wrist then formed her blonde hair into a ponytail. She never actually liked it whenever her hair got into a mess. She knew this would happen, since the wind would be in her face during the time she will do her two laps at her fastest speed. It was quite messy, with a few strands falling from her sides but Artemis knew it would be much more messier later on. She put her broom just between her legs and positioned herself comfortably. She kicked from the ground and flew to the air. The air was cooler above and Artemis inhaled the fresh scent of the air. She flew towards the South end of the Pitch and she started with her most comfortable speed. She was not slow nor fast. There was speed, yes, but not that fast. Her Sienna Storm rode along with her, until she was brought again to the south part. When she was done, she immediately took a look at all the things that the others were doing. Some seemed to still do their laps and others were already doing their duty as their desired position. Artemis noticed that more strands of hair were already on her face. She blew one that was itching her eyes and gripped her broom tightly than ever. Artemis flew again, this time, her speed much more faster than the previous one. The wind was pounding in her ears, that was just absolutely she can hear. Her speed gradually became faster and she did not stop until she completed the two laps. She sighed in satisfaction and flew towards the captain to get the Quaffle.

Artemis adjusted her gear first before flying again to Snow, who currently was already guarding the North end. When everything seemed to be right in place, she took the Quaffle and flew upwards to the hoops located at the North end. She bitterly thought that she was the one who should be guarding the hoops. But at least, there was a small chance that she would be on for the team. Artemis glanced at the other Slytherin's direction. "Snow." She did this for the other student to acknowledge her presence and to be ready for the things that she was going to do. Being the Chaser was not what she practiced for, but she had a feeling that there was a chance she'd be good at it. Artemis flew to the left side, so that she would be able to confuse the captain at her direction. She stared at the hoops and concentrated on what her next move will be. Without thinking, she strongly threw the Quaffle into the hoop and she looked at its surprising speed while it was approaching the hoops. Hopefully, the shot would be successful and she'd be able to throw the Quaffle in. Within a second, she looked at the other Slytherins that were also trying out for Chaser. Whoever will win the position for Chaser, that would mean they were extremely impressive, and Artemis hoped that she would be included in the team. Any position will do, as long as she'd find her name in the list. ​

 

[Dante Vrael]

Dante Vrael sped through the grounds, running as fast as he could towards the Quidditch pitch. He knew he was late, and he was highly annoyed that he was late in the first place, as he had been perfectly on time before his Divination professor had caught him, and after the lecture and a half he had received from her, he had finally managed to slip away. Already wearing his Quidditch robes, he kicked the doors open and sped across the pitched, skidding to a halt infront of the group of people surrounding what appeared to be the new Captain. He nodded to everyone there, and winked especially at Milenna, knowing it would annoy the girl. "Dante Vrael, Chaser..." he said, smirking at Milenna. "And if you tell me im too late, someone is getting jinxed." he joked, his Silver Arrow resting on his shoulders.

As he looked around he saw only one other boy there. It interested him at the lack of male participation in the sport, but didnt really care. He knew that most of the women standing around him were deadly in their own respective positions. He was now quite excited at the prospect of playing Quidditch again.
