Jordan walked out to the quidditch pitch, munching on a sandwich he'd taken from the kitchen. It was going to be a great day and he was quite happy to be here. Now he just had to wait for everybody to pop in so he could actually start tryouts. He wanted to make Cenek proud, so he was determined to set up a winning team. Setting out the brooms and the chest with equipment, Jordan sighed softly in the afternoon sun. It was going to be awesome. Grabbing the forms out of his bag, he set them out atop the equipment chest, a rock on top to prevent them from blowing away in the breeze. Now just to wait on his fellow teammates.

Robin had...kinda failed during the first flying class. Xe was okay on a broom, the few times xe had tried one before, but xe had never been one for Quidditch other than for polite dinner conversation. But all of xer family this generation had participated in some way: Sona had played been a seeker, August had been Quidditch announcer, Sparrow had been a chaser and then announcer, and even Wren had shed his peevish apathy to lead the Slytherin team.
So despite xer hesitations, Robin decided to go to tryouts. Xe had always shown an interest in what xer family enjoyed. Plus xe had heard from a kindly prefect that the Ravenclaw team was in need of warm bodies and reserve players. Robin could do that.
Xer pet rock tucked securely in xer pocket, Robin headed down the Quidditch Pitch and was surprised to be one of the first ones there. Xe filled out the form with xer usual neat script and approached the captain. ”Good afternoon, Captain Dunforth. Is there anything I can do to help you or the team?”

Syd hoped he’d get one of his top two choices this year. With Cenek graduated, he figured he just might have a better chance. As he arrived on the pitch, he noticed their new captain and a new person, one that he wasn’t quite familiar with. “Hello,” he greeted them both as he took a form and filled it out. Once complete, he handed it back and began stretching.

'Cause right now on e a r t h I can't do j a c k Without the m a n up on my b a c k
Flora Helen was excited for another year of quidditch, it was one of the best times of her time at Hogwarts. It was defiantly categorized as fun, not work. Unless the captain made them do a research project on tactics....then maybe quidditch would become work..maybe she should do research while she had a lot of free time, just to be sure she wouldn't miss anything.
As she approached the field she groaned, where were all the girls at? Quidditch should be a sport loved by any gender and no gender and she really just didn't want to be alone in the locker rooms before a game.

Fora Helen was excited for quidditch, this would be the year she would show off, she would impress someone, and they would become her person. At 15, she would almost certainly never have a family, but if she did... they would appreciate her quidditch skills. She arrived at practice, and saw Jordan setting up the balls and some agility drills. She smiled and waved his way, before seeing the forms weren't out yet. She grabbed a few and sat them down for the players to fill out. She looked around, well nothing else to do but wait now. She wondered if she could ask Miss Elysia for pointers about playing quidditch.....
When the little Wellbelove boy showed up she waved at him, and he gave a small nod back, ah the quiet dorky Ravenclaws, they were really all adorable.

Linsey Grey-Cavendish Ravenclaw │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
With an amount of excitement and enthusiasm that only an eleven-year-old could muster, Linsey was bounding out to the Quidditch pitch, with a broomstick in her hand, and her long silvery hair trailing behind her. It was a school broom to be sure, but she didn’t care. She was getting the chance to fly, and the chance to maybe make it onto the team. Mom and Aunt Fianna taught her the rules of the game, and they let her fly around with their teammates at practices on occasion. With all that, Linsey was eager to fly for Ravenclaw; all she asked for was the chance to prove herself.
The young Ravenclaw was wearing a bright emerald green Irish team Quidditch jersey which was long enough that its hem went halfway down her thighs, over a white Tee-shirt, a pair of jeans and sneakers whose laces were blue and bronze in colour. In a bag over her shoulder, she had a set of pads of her own, which she’d strap on once she got to the pitch and was ready to go aloft. Linsey still wasn’t sure what position she’d go for, but then she wasn’t sure what positions were really open to be contested for.
Arriving at the pitch, Linsey saw there were three upperclassmen present already, and she stopped for a moment to figure out who was in charge. There was an older boy setting up balls, and two others, one of whom Linsey was pretty sure was a House Prefect, and she had the forms. The First Year rushed over to where the older girl was, and she said with breathless eagerness, “Hi, um, I’m here to sign up to play for our House. Nice day for flying, isn’t it?” As the words gushed out of her, she started filling out the form:

When the form was filled out, and she turned it in, Linsey was looking around, her blue eyes bright with … well, with the hope and promise the start of the season brought. The season started today, really, and anything could happen from here out.

Robin had almost forgotten that Quidditch tryouts were today. It wasn't until, in the middle of a stretch break, xe glanced over at the broom Wren had bought xem sitting on xer trunk that xe remembered and rushed down.
Xe didn't honestly understand brooms very much aside from what was mentioned in idle conversation, but Wren certainly had opinions about brooms and Robin trusted xer older brother.
Thankfully, the Tryouts didn't seem to have started yet. Xe filled out a form quickly and offered a welcoming smile to the young first year joining them. "It is a nice day out, isn't it?" xe remarked, realizing it was indeed a nice day--xe should have made more time to spend outside. "Miss Grey, right? I'm Robin Winchester. Have you had much experience flying? You seem excited."

Syd had made a stupid decision, which was to skateboard the evening before Quidditch tryouts. It wouldn’t have been stupid if he hadn’t decided to try and land the varial heel flip numerous times until he succeeded, or rather, until he had messed up and fallen pretty badly. Luckily, he didn’t sprain his ankle or anything – he mostly landed on the ground and scraped up his knees and elbows. The thirteen year old promptly made his way to the Hospital Wing for a couple of ice packs before heading to his bed, where he stayed until he was ready to sleep. Syd limped his way to the pitch bright and early. His legs sure hurt worse the day after, but he figured he didn’t need them much while playing today’s sport. Thankfully his arms didn’t feel too sore. Once he caught up to the crowd that had started to form, he grabbed a form to fill out.

Fora Helen was ready for quidditch, her first year of being the official leader! And her first full year being with Miss Elysia. Miss Elysia had helped Flora Helen perfect quidditch maneuvers, and had gone over in detail over various strategies they could use in tryouts and actual practices. Flora Helen also had to set someone as her VC. She had gone back and forth between several younger players, debating over who would be respected by the team more, who had grown more over the years, and she had settled on Milan Wellbelove. He was a unique character, being a quadruplet. He would probably do well as Captain one day, if he accepted it.
She sat out the various balls, extra brooms, and the forms for players to complete. Then she sat cross legged near the papers, and waited for everyone to show up.

Linsey Grey-Cavendish Ravenclaw │ Second Year │ Twelve Years Old │ Single │ Reserve Chaser
The cool Highland air felt good as Linsey drew it in, just as the warm sunlight did against her soft skin. She was excited to get out of the castle on such a day and have the chance to get up into the air. Crowning it all off, today was also tryout day, the real start of Quidditch season. Having grown up around the game, she knew today was where the magic began, when everything was possible, and everybody was undefeated and had an equal shot at claiming the Quidditch Cup at the end of the term. All one had to do was figure out the puzzle of how to get there.
Linsey was hoping to be one of those pieces. Last term, she managed to get on as one of the Reserve Chasers, which was cool, but she really wanted to do more to contribute to the team this term. As there was a glut of Chasers already on the roster, it was suggested she might try her hand at playing Beater this time out. Mom helped her out, teaching her the same position she played at Hogwarts, and for the Irish National Team for many years. Linsey even had a chance to get in some practice with the team’s younger players.
Today, Linsey was feeling ready to try her luck contending for a new position, and maybe getting to fly in real matches this term. The young Ravenclaw was wearing one of her mother’s bright emerald green Irish Team Quidditch jerseys, which was long enough that its hem went halfway down her thighs, over a white Tee-shirt, a pair of jeans and sneakers whose laces were blue and bronze in colour. In a bag over her shoulder, she had a set of pads of her own, which she’d strap on once she got to the pitch and was ready to go aloft. Prize of prizes though was the brand-new broomstick she’d spent last evening meticulously polishing and maintaining for her tryout, the results of the trip to Diagon Alley with Mom.
Arriving at the pitch, she saw that other than her Captain, Linsey was the first to arrive. ‘Oooooh, I hope this isn’t a bad omen. Be rotten luck if we couldn’t put enough folk together to make a team,’ she thought, before bouncing up to where Flora was, and saying breathlessly, “Hi, Flora. It’s a gorgeous day to fly, don’t you think? I can’t wait to get up there and get started.” As she was talking, Linsey was filling out the form.

╔════════════════════════════════╗ Syd Barrett Fourteen Years Old - Fourth Year - Ravenclaw - Halfblood Member of the Art club - Artist for the Daily Dragon - Reserve Keeper ╚════════════════════════════════╝
Syd made damn sure not to partake in any funny business for the week leading up to Quidditch tryouts. After last year, he was not about to injure himself and make a fool of himself again. Plus, he needed to make a good impression during tryouts this year since it was both Eitan and Dwyn’s last year playing. Next year, the team would need a Keeper and a Seeker replacement. Syd had made the Reserve Keeper position every year, but didn’t even want that one. He was going for Seeker, and next year, he’d be the star on the pitch. Unfortunately, it seemed that his parents’ decision in playing Keeper during their time at Hogwarts had put a curse on both Syd and Penelope as they couldn’t seem to escape the same position. No, this year (and if not this year then next year) would be different. Syd could stick it out as the Reserve Keeper once again if need be, but this would be the last year. The fourth year was the third to arrive, behind Flora Helen and Linsey. “G’morning,” he greeted the girls as he filled out a form before handing it back to the Captain.
