Ginelle grinned broadly. It was good to get those kinds of remarks from the captain. "Thank you, Sparrow!" Ginelle was hovering above the ground on the broom, too excited to get off. So she stayed there. Just like that. "Is there anything that you want me to do to improve?" She asked. She really wanted to be on the team, and she was hoping that Sparrow could give her some pointers as to how to improve.

Sparrow thought for a moment. She wished there were some more chasers around to practice with her. "Well I would have loved to get you some practice passing but i don't believe any of the chasers are at the pitch right now, and also in a match you would probably have to do rolls and sharp turns to avoid bludgers or even other chasers...." she trailed off wishing some chasers were here.

Ginelle thought for a moment. She didn't think about the bludgers and all the other people being on the field when she was practicing, so that made it more difficult. But she put a look of determination on her face. "Sparrow, is there any way I can practice with a bludger? So I can practice keeping my eyes alert and avoiding things like that?" She asked. Ginelle was more determined than ever now.

Sparrow thought for a moment. Bludgers could be really dangerous especially when no beaters were around. "Let us use a substitute for the bludger. I would hate for you to get hurt on accident." She then walked back into a shed and brought out a soft ball the size of a bludger. She walked back to Ginelle. "I can enchant it for you so it will try and hit you. This way if you do get hit it won't hurt too bad." Sparrow remembers her experiences of being hit by bludgers and thought this could work well.

Ginelle gave a sigh of relief. She was actually happy that Sparrow came up with that idea. She didn't want to get hurt at a practice. "Good idea, Sparrow..." Ginelle flew upwards a bit with her quaffle and watch Sparrow enchant the ball. It was a pretty good sized ball...

"Alright here we go! Perhaps go back and forth around the pitch trying to avoid it as well as getting shots off." Sparrow enchanted the ball and it started flying around and up into the air.

Ginelle watched the Bludger in the air, and she started to fly towards the goal posts with the quaffle. Suddenly, the fake bludger flew at her from the side, and Ginelle flew downwards to protect herself. Then, she flew back up towards the goal posts. But, the bludger flew towards her from behind; she could hear it. So, Ginelle ducked down and flew like a bullet away from the bludger, then circled around back towards the goal posts. She threw the quaffle into the goal hoop, and then circled around to catch it, while avoiding the bludger all at the same time. This was difficult to her, so she kept her eyes alert. There was the bludger, coming at her head on, and she pulled up really fast, above the goal hoops and then came flying back down. She flew to the middle of the pitch, and then back towards the goal posts again to get another shot at the goal. The bludger was right behind her, and she ducked right before the goal posts, sending the bludger through the hoops. Ginelle shot again and took a few deep breaths.

Sparrow whispered "Sonorus" on herself and yelled to the area "There goes Ginelle up the pitch with a bludger on her tail! She gets ready to shoot and... The bludger distracts her. Ginelle collects herself and heads to the hoops once again and she shoots and score! Points to Gryffinclaw by the Newest member of the Gryffinclaw team, Ginelle!" Sparrow wondered if she would get the message that she was on the team and grinned walking out farther onto the pitch.

Alex saw Ginelle avoiding the fake bludger and Alex saw how well she was doing and she smiled, she then heard what Sparrow had said about the goal being made by the newest member of the team and Alex smiled wider, that was a great way of telling someone that they were on the team

Lena
As the weather was perfect for quidditch, Lena skipped down the stone steps of the castle towards the quidditch pitch, firebolt over her shoulder. She walked towards the crates that held the quidditch balls and took a quaffle. Quaffle under her arm, she mounted her broom and kick the ground hard. She flew upwards in the sky and circled the pitch thrice. Lena then flew a bit higher until she was at the height of the hoops and began practising her methods of attack and of throwing the quaffle. She flew from one side to the other, higher and lower, faster and slower and tried to throw harder and softer. She even tried to make the quaffle curve in the air. She continuously threw the quaffle, trying to improve her strategies and create new ones, every time, finding a new trick and improving slightly.

Ginelle almost fell off her broom when she heard what Sparrow said. Then, the bludger hit her in the back of the head, causing her to lose her balance, and have to fly down to recompose herself. She grabbed the bludger and the quaffle "I'm what?!" She flew down to the ground and got off her broom to breathe normally. "I'm on the team!?" She grinned widely and her heart was beating very quickly. She was on the team now!
She watched the other gryffindor chasers come onto the field and she watched them in awe. They were older, and they were better than her. But, she took that with pride, not with pity on herself. She was glad she was on a team with such talanted players.

Sparrow said, "Quietus" to return her voice back to normal and reached where Ginelle had landed. She grinned and said, "Yes you are, Welcome to the Gryffinclaw Quidditch team Ginelle!" Sparrow wondered what to do about a broom. The school brooms were terrible and Sparrow wondered if Sing would allow Ginelle to have her own broom at school. Sparrow kept grinning at Ginelle.

Ginelle was more than ecstatic at the news of her chaser position. She surpressed the urge to hug Sparrow and spin around. She didn't know what to say. She nodded gratefully and she mounted her broom. This time, she just flew almost straight up into the air, spiraling on the way up. She was just too happy.
