3rd year Gryffindor
Al headed over to the left with the other possible beaters. She was shaking a little bit, but really excited. Everyone was gathering now...there was Rose and Lily chatting, it looked like Lily wanted to be a chaser. She'd always loved being the beater, because even though girls weren't usually beaters, much less skinny girls, she was fast and swerved well to avoid bludgers, and aimed pretty well. Still, she didn't want to get too prideful and assume she had the position.
"Thanks, Rose!" She called as Rose wished her good luck and she smiled to Lily.
 Yes this is me>

✖ "Throw it away! Forget yesterday,we'll make the Great Escape..we don't hear a word they say they don't know us anyway...
Alex made it to the pitch right when Fionna started talking. She had a lot of things to do and had forgotten about the try outs, though she was glad she had made it, breathless but still here. "Sorry i'm late" she said as she went towards the middle of the pitch for Fionna had said that Keepers needed to stand in the middle
Watch it burn...Let it die. Because we are finally free....tonight."✖

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
Lucas walked onto the field holding his broom for dear life, trembling slightly, not sure what to say or do. He came in time to hear Fionna talking loudly to the potential team and he looked around before making his decision. The other contestant for beater was someone he know knew as Al, the Headmistress's daughter. Chaser positions looked slim. And Al was a thin young girl, he doubted she had the force for beating even if she had the aim. ((No offense lol)) Maybe the beater side could use a bit more strength? He walked over to the side to go out for beater, smiling at Fionna his heart beating way too fast.

Fionna nodded at her peers that were present. There was an assortment to choose from, but she couldn't jump to conclusions about anybody from appearance. She needed them to fly and show off their stuff. She would tell them to leave if she found they were lacking thus slowly narrowing it down to her team. Some of her friends were there, but she couldn't let that fog her judgement. Then, Fionna saw Lucas walk over. He looked really nervous. She hoped that wouldn't mess him up. She wanted to truly believe he was good enough to make the team.
"Alright it looks like we have enough people here now. Let's get started." She strode in front of everybody and continued, "I want everybody to do two laps around the pitch. This is to test your speed and turns. If somebody gets in your way, duck down below them or above. Now let's see what you've got." She waved her arm indicating for them to go ahead. Fionna's own broom came to her and she mounted so she could get up higher for a better view.
{Oh.Oh.See...I'm pretending there are more people around 4laugh }

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
Lucas took a deep breath and soared into the air with the other hopefull beaters soaring around him. He leaned forward a bit and sped up, swerving a little to the side here and there so he wouldn't risk knocking into the people that he sped past and that sped past him. He was a few feet apart from the other beater, Al, and she was smiling. Figuring that she was good enough to make the team once, he knew she would probably have one spot. He smiled back at her and kept going. Some of his nervousness had left him since he had flown into the air, he was too busy focusing to have time to be nervous.

Alex smirked, this was going to be easy. She mounted her Firebolt and went into the air. Alex flew to where Lucas was and smiled "good luck Lucas" she told him and with that she sped off again
Watch it burn...Let it die. Because we are finally free....tonight."✖

Al kicked off and soared, wind whistling in her ears. That joyful feeling of being as light as a feather was beating against her ribs, she swerved around and around, sped up and flattened herself a bit against her broom. She couldn't help but notice that Lucas was on the same level as her, going as fast as she was. She smiled, figuring that if they could maintain the same height and speed as other, they might make a good team for the beaters. He looked a bit anxious, though, he'd just never been in a Hogwarts match before. She kept pretty level with him, they were going about the same speed and she matched it when he sped up. He looked much nervous before, but at least he could say he was doing himself justice and hadn't wasted his time at the very least.

 Lily nodded, getting on her broom. "Good luck Rose." She smiled, before kicking off and starting off twords one end of the pitch. She went slow at first, to keep her balance, then sped off twords on end. She saw Lucas and Al in front of her, and flew off twords them.

Fionna watched as everybody sped off on their brooms. She turned on her broom to see every angle and speeds. She pointed at some people and flicked her hand over her shoulder with her thumb out indicating that they were cut. They then left. There were only a few she cut with this stage and she still had more to go.
Fionna blew her whistle hoping that everybody would understand that as a call to fly over to her. She thought about some exercises to do and picked some out in her head. When everybody was gathered around she said, "Alright next we will be doing some position based skill." She flicked her wand and muttered a spell that opened the ball chest below and levitated the two quaffles inside up to her. She grabbed them and said, "Chasers, I want half of you to do some passing, and the other half to do some shooting, then rotate when I say so." She tossed one quaffle to Rose, and the other to Lily hoping they would get the two groups going.
She then got some bats and tossed them to each of the beaters that were trying out. "Beaters, you will be doing some aim tests. This will be done with fake bludgers. There are targets set up on the edge of the pitch at the stands. Practice on those." She motioned to where they are and then where the balls were that they would be using.
Fionna was onto the last group now. She was glad she didn't have to set up a seeker station as well that would be a lot to focus on. "Keepers, you will be at the goal post alternating turns to save shots from the chaser group that is shooting." She nodded to herself and everybody there. "Let's go." Fionna said and she flew to a central spot to watch everybody before flying closer to the various spots at the pitch which the players would be at.
{Oh.Oh.See... You can roleplay with yourself. No need to wait for others to post. Oh and those that aren't here and are still trying out I'm just assuming that you are already here and passed the first section of tryouts...}

Alison Nikolai
3rd year Gryffindor
Al, who was used to aim tests, flew over to them without hesitation and immeditally got started with one of the balls.
((Assuming the classic white, black, blue, red, then yellow rings.))
Her first one was a little bit sloppy since she was just getting warmed up, it hit the blue area of the target. The second one hit the red, and the third shot hit the yellow. She grinned and kept going.
The fourth hit the outer edge of the yellow with such force that it shot back in her direction and she caught it. She was great at aiming, but she'd never really shot one with such force before, and felt a bit more confident. She kept her focus and all the rest hit the yellow or the red, but mostly the yellow, right in dead center. She couldn't help but silently cheer a bit, she hadn't lost her skills at all over the summer. It felt great to be flying again.

Lucas- 6th year Gryffindor
Lucas glided over to where the targets stood waiting and gulped. Here was the real test. The first one he shot though...his yellow on his first try! He heard Al call over, "Beginners luck!" But she was grinning.
((Yes Lil gave me permission to have her character say this lol))
Beaming that his first try was so accurate, he tried again. Again. Again. Red, Red, Blue. So not as good as his first attempts, but still, not half bad. Plus, like he expected, his shots were a bit stronger than Al's and made bigger dents in the targets where they hit, dents that were in fact, quite deep.
He kept on practicing and did not stop for a second, waiting, listening, for Fionna's sweet voice...no, just her voice...dammit Lucas...just her voice, to sound out across the field to tell him and Al when they should stop. Al was a lot better at aiming, no denying that, he may not have gotten in the yellow as many times as her, but at least he usually stayed within the red and hit harder.

Lily cought the ball steadily, careful not to fall off her broom. "Alright." Getting the second Quaffle, she guessed she was doing the second direction, shooting. Throwing it up in the air and catching it, she was going to do a few practice shots. The first one she shot, miss by after three feet. As she went closer, she shot again, missing by the quaffle going below the ring a bit. Deciding the third time was the charm, she shot again, and grinned when it went through. Flying down to the quaffle, As she prepared to shoot again.

After 10 minutes of a full on sprint, Drago had made it, panting quiet hard, in time to see Al hit a ball at the middle of a target 5 times. When he caught his breath, he wave to her.

Al gave Drago a quick smile and wave when she spotted him out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't do anything more than that, she didn't want to appear easily distracted. She kept hitting the target, ocassionally hitting the red, but her aim was as sturdy as it had ever been. She noticed Lucas had a good aim too, but his beating skills were more in the strength area, it'd probably hurt real bad if anyone got hit with a bludger hit by him. She smiled at the thought of seeing a nameless Slytherin flying off their broom from a ferociously hit bludger.
