Nico almost didn't believe it but he had a snitch in his hand. Beyond happy his hair went to a brighter than normal green. "I GOT IT!!" Nico said waving it like a giddy idiot. He almost didn't want to let it go as it was his first catch but there was plenty of witnesses. "Now let me catch you again buddy. "He said before releasing it to let other have a go.

spaceKiery called an end to the tryouts, whistling for everyone's attention and leading them all back down to the pitch."Alright, guys, good job! We're going to do a couple cool down exercises, then I'll talk with Maisie and we'll get the team announcement posted soon!"Considering the group they had, she was pretty sure no one would be surprised by the lineup, but it was the principle of the thing. She had the group go through some relaxation yoga sets, then went to talk to Maisie.

MAISIƐ HƐAƬHƐR ƬHORƁURƝ HALFBLOOD RAVENCLAW │ SEVENTH YEAR PREFECT │ TEAM CAPTAIN
Maisie was feeling very optimistic about tryouts, as anxious as she was about now being captain. Fortunately, they'd won the Quidditch Cup last year, which had been a major confidence boost for Ravenclaw, which often struggled with the stereotype of them preferring studying to sports. Hopefully they'd have as good turn out at tryouts this year as they had last year. Plus, she'd asked Nico to be her vice captain, which was a major weight off her shoulders, having debate who to ask for months. Gathering her things together, she set up the folding table and the forms, and waited for her team to show up.

Brook walked out on the field, yes she was finally going to try out for quidditch. Finally? It was only her first year. Of course, quidditch wasn’t the same as track or anything, but it would keep her in shape... she needed it with all the food she had plans to eat. She had borrowed Aldrick’s broom for this event (He wasn’t using it). She had hoped for seeker, but also didn’t want to take the spot form Sona. Seekers were able to move fast, and could end the game quickly... the quicker the game ended the sooner she could eat again. There was no way she would be a beater, she didn’t want to work that closely with Jonah. A chaser was kind of important too? They could help win the game at least, and if they won enough they could have food in the common rooms..... Although, as keeper, she could just sit at the goal posts and eat while waiting for someone to get to her..... Nah. Seeker or Chaser. She smiled at those around her, and waited for the games to being.

Lavinia Elena Gismondi Ravenclaw First Year Halfblood • Young Backpacker
➽ Location : Quidditch Pitch - Ravenclaw Tryouts
Lavinia liked sports. She liked archery the most. The closest thing at Hogwarts to that was the dueling club which she wasn't allowed to join. Being a first year had that disadvantage. So she figured Quidditch would have to do. She didn't know much about the game besides what she read in a magazine she'd picked up in Diagon Alley. If only her mother had of bothered to tell her more.
Heading down to the pitch, Lavinia walked over to the group of eagles forming. She was a natural at flying that much she knew. Chaser seemed like the most active position. One she supposed she could be good at with time. Deciding on that she handed in her form and grabbed a school broom. Now all she had to do now was wait.

Benjamin "Benny" Clarisse Second Year Ravenclaw Twelve Year Old - Half Blood - Reserve Keeper
Location : Quidditch Pitch - Ravenclaw Tryouts
Benny walked onto the pitch with Jess not fair behind. She made her way up to the stands like she usually did as he headed onto the field. He was grateful to have his cousin with him; to root for his success. Even if he knew it was more then likely that she'd skim a book through most of the tryouts.
Heading over to the team Benny knew Tyler graduated last year. That left him as the soul Keeper for the team. It was a positive moment in his life. Something his mum would be proud of even if she wasn't a big factor in his life anymore. Taking a breath, Benny grabbed the form and filled it out. His father's broom in hand he questioned why he was given it. Although old it was still well maintained. However, he didn't play seeker so it was in some ways wasted on him. Though, he hoped to make his dad proud of him. Maybe he'd come and bring his brothers. Benny could hope.

”Broooook!! Lavinia!” Aidene ran out onto the Quidditch Pitch, joining her friend and roommates with a wide grin. She was probably being too friendly, but who could blame her? She was finally amongst other witches and wizards! Doing wizarding things! ”And here I thought I was the one excited for Quidditch! Now I just need to drag you both to Cooking, Dueling, and DnD, huh?” Aidene remarked, partially joking. In the evenings since their sorting, she’d been encouraging her fellow Ravenclaw first years to join clubs, hang out a little. Partially she was trying to get a clue in to what they liked, partially she was just unusually energetic. Hopefully no one had written her off as annoying yet. She hadn’t unlocked the Kitchens to start making gifts yet. ”Where’s Emma? Did any of the boys make it?” asked, naming their other roommate and looking around for any of the first year boys.
Not recognizing any of them, Aidene looked up at the Quidditch pitch with a confident grin. Almost as long as she knew she burnt things when she was frustrated, Aidene knew she wanted to try Quidditch: United States vs Ireland, the first time she saw Aunt Elysia play. She had heard stories of that game in her house of course--snippets of near-snitch catches and miraculous saves. But what she actually remembered was watching the bludgers, faster than anything else, shooting from one side to the other, people taking hits, nearly falling, straightening their brooms and continuing playing. After she got into martial arts, she’d watched Quidditch and beaters with a more insightful eye. Mechanically, being a beater was about control and redirection--there was awareness in protecting their teammates, strategy in who to aim at, and technique in execution. When the family moved down to Godric’s Hollow, Aidene had finally convinced her dad she was responsible enough for flying lessons. She had only been able to float a little in the clearing behind the house but hey, even a few experience points were better than none. Unfortunately first years weren’t allowed their own broomsticks so she hadn’t been able to bring Elysia’s old broom, but Aidene picked up a school broom and took a deep breath. She was quick enough on her feet and had a decent punching arm, so-- Here goes!
She was all ready to take off before realizing everyone was waiting on the ground and...oh forms. Dreams and imaginationings would have wait a bit-- there was paperwork to fill out.

♪♫SONORAxxxMEYLINGxxxLI fourth year || Ravenclaw || halfblood Music club || Quidditch reserve || Dueling Club irregular attendee of Astronomy and Adventuring Club _______________
Sonora had considered not returning to the Quidditch team after her less-than-ideal third year. She was worried about studying this year, even with much fewer classes. From here on out, she had to do lot better, and not just because she wanted to do well in class-- she had to be stronger as a witch if she wanted to be able to deal next time there was a threat.
All that said, she’d still brought her broom. The day of tryouts, she sat on her bed after a morning of distracting herself with piano practice. With the time drawing nearer, she trimmed and polished her broom as she thought: Her dad had convinced her exercising was part of a healthy lifestyle...and she loved flying...and even if she didn’t have Professor Price’s class anymore, she could at least make use of his lessons. As a reserve, she didn't even have to play in the matches usually, and that was fine with her--more time for studying, or spellcasting practice! And she got to learn from someone better than her!
Finally, Sonora grabbed her broom and headed for the boy’s dormitory. This was a silly debate to be spending so much time on and she had friends with keen insight for times like these: ”Jonah? About Quidditch Tryouts--” When the door opened, she blinked at a clearly not awake Jonah and Iggy searching around the room. She stared for a moment before bursting into giggles. ”Jonah, we’ve barely an hour to get to the Pitch! How are you still asleep? Waddiwasi!” she directed, pulling out her wand to send Jonah’s pillow flying for the ceiling at least momentarily. Sona smiled at the sight. Leave it to Jonah to make her laugh when she had been so serious and glum a moment ago. ”Iggy? What’re you searching for? Can I help?”
By the time she remembered to bring up her doubts, the trio were almost at the Quidditch Pitch. She explained herself properly to her friends, trusting them to be honest with her. Sure enough, by the time they got there, Sonora had been definitively convinced Quidditch was not negotiable and greeted the Ravenclaw team with her usual cheerfulness.

After months of actually being able to maintain a proper sleep schedule, he had inadvertently thrown it all into despair when he stayed up until 4 AM combing through his text books for the year as per his annual routine. He’d managed to crawl his way to his dorm room though, so at least it had been somewhat of a win.
He was awoken to the sound of Iggy shuffling through their room, no doubt searching for his lucky socks for tryouts. Jonah yawned from his spot at the foot of his bed. “Next year you should just keep them packed ‘til tryouts…”Normally he would have helped, but he was too tired for it. He lay his head against his pillow and closed his eyes for the briefest of catnaps before the pillow had flung into the air, startling him off the bed with a yelp courtesy of Sonora. “Merlin! I’m up! I’m up!” The pillow smacked him on the head on its descent down, the boy dropping back to the floor with it. “And I’m down. Goodnight, cruel world.”
Eventually, socks were found and Jonah was dragged out of the dorm after shooing Sonora out to change into proper attire. She mentioned hesitation towards continuing with quidditch, to which he tried his best to give some helpful insight. It seemed to help, if her chipper demeanor gave any sort of hint. Jonah greeted the team with a lazy wave and filled out the usual form with a yawn. Once it was all said and done, he found an open area to go through the stretches Kiery had taught them the year before. After the incident over the Summer Jonah had taken to morning jogs with Orion and yoga with Rhea. He could officially touch his toes with no issue! He was glad to have made some progress on that front, but his main concern for the year was his batting arm. Of course it had been the left to get shredded by that tosser of a wolf. He had taken some physical therapy to help with the muscle tear and had been given a list of upper arm exercises before he left for school. He could hold a pen properly now, but the bat? He was probably best off practicing with his right. God willing, he wouldn’t have to be guarding Nico today. The poor bloke had suffered enough by his poor reflexes over the past few years! He’d been practicing using his right for all sorts of things at this point, so he was hopeful that it wouldn’t go over too badly, but he still intended to try with both and find which way would work best for now.

Nico entered the pitch eager for the year. Hopefully, he could win the cup again but not in the same way as last year. It was already an exciting year as he was asked to be the vice-captain, much to his delight "Hey, Maisie ready to win this year too! Bring back the reign of Ravenclaw?" They had a streak before why not now!

Canaan Grey Ravenclaw │ Second Year │ Twelve Years Old │ Single │ Reserve Chaser
'Today's a good day to fly,' thought Canaan, as he made his way to the pitch for tryouts. Of course, for him almost any day was a good day to fly, but today was certainly more auspicious than most. Slung over his shoulder was the new broomstick Cousin Fi helped him pick out over the summer. Today he would try to make the team. Last year, he was a Reserve Chaser, which was a learning experience for him, and though he never had the chance to take to the pitch in a real match, he'd had fun, and that was really the whole point for him.
Looking around, he saw there was already a fair few whom were seeking the same oppourtunity as he, and why not? They'd won the Cup last year, so now there was a chance to repeat and that was exciting, and who wouldn't want to get involved in a possible dynasty. He was interested to see what sort of stratagems and gamesmanship their new Captain would introduce this year.
"Looks like we've got a good turn out this year," he commented to Maisie, as he started filling out the form. After filling out the form and handing it in, he chose to pick out a bit of open ground, and started going through his pre-game stretching routine.

Loke got to the pitch and grinned as he grabbed a form to fill out. He'd not minded tryouts last year, and this year he figured he could try out again and hopefully be the seeker after Sonora graduated. Plus, he got to wave pompoms every game so that wasn't too bad. Handing the form back, he started stretching and waiting for tryouts to start.
