Y49 Beauxbatons Quidditch Tryouts

[Celestine Gauthier]

Celestine was pretty busy with music lessons beyond her regular school classes, but she had been given a job to do with co-captaining the team and she was determined to see the job through. Kirby would be co-captaining this year which was a relief, the older girl was a very good seeker and better at being competitive and pushing the team than she was. Celestine liked putting on a performance and loved the drama of Quidditch games as much as having fun hitting bludgers, but sometimes she had to think more about the trying to win thing.

"Bonjour, mes amies!" she greeted the assorted students as they appeared for try-outs. "Bienvenue! Kirby and I are very happy to be your captains this year and we are looking forward to seeing what you can do!" Celestine worried she was hogging the spotlight, but it was what she was quite literally training to do after school. She could project her voice quite well, which helped. "For new players and anyone who was an alternate last year, would you please let us know your name and what you would like to play? People on the team, please help out by playing with the people trying out!" She didn't work quite as well without a script, but she did her best. "Allons-y!"

Out of Character:

Welcome back! As is the standard, those of you who are already on the team, please post an attendance to maintain your position. If you were an alternate or you're new to the team, please RP trying out for the position you would like to play. Second years and up only, please - if you really, desperately want a first year on the team for some reason please PM either @Kirby Rosatta-Chevotet or myself (or both of us) to negotiate. Please also make sure your character's grade is noted somewhere on your profile (and up to date) to make record-keeping a little easier (in case I have messed up moving people in or out). Any questions please reach out!

[Juneau Delarue]

Juneau nodded in understanding at Celestine's instructions. She took to the sky and supported the chasers trying out for the open spot. It was nice that the pressure was off herself. She didn't try to score because she wanted the tryouts to have their opportunity, and worried she might not look good if she missed. At the end of the session she headed back down to the ground for the debrief.

 

[Kirby Rosatta-Chevotet]

Kirby grinned at Celestine, glad to be able to help out in her last year. Celestine would be in it for the long haul, but she didn't mind, she thought Celestine was a very good player after all. "Qui, please remember that Celestine and I will be here if you need anything, or have any pressing questions, the most important thing is to have fun!" She wouldn't mind going back to Hogwarts again this year to both win this time and to see Bailey again.​

 

[Elsie Dupont]

Elsie was ready for another year of Quidditch, and she had hopes for the team this year. She stood on the quidditch pitch amongst the other players as she listened carefully to what the captain had to say. It wasn't long before they were up in the air and Elsie quickly made her way to the goals, defending the quaffles. She managed to stop a few which she was pleased to do. She thought she did a decent job today.

 

[Alicia Richelieu]

Alicia felt oddly nervous as she headed to the familiar Quidditch pitch at Beauxbatons. Transferring back hadn't been an easy decision, but so far she hadn't regretted it either. But one big question was her spot on the Quidditch team. It was in no way guaranteed that she would have a spot, especially not after she abandoned the team two years ago to go to Hogwarts. Alicia just hoped she could be an alternate, if nothing else. She smiled nervously at the captains, then stepped forward for her turn. "Alicia Richelieu, chaser." She said, then took to the air. She caught the quaffle and passed it to a few other players before it returned to her again. She made her way to the hoops and managed to score, which made her smile. She scored a few more times, though two of her shots were blocked. In the end, she felt like she had tried her best. She landed again, wondering if she would make it. She wondered if her old teammates resented her, or if it was just in her mind.
