Dakota was sitting next to Luna on one side and Erik on the other. "I'm going to try out for Chaser, I decided." He smiled, and nodded. "Erik, your trying out for chaser too, right?" He asked, and his older cousin nodded, watching the Gryffindor tryouts closely. Dakota smiled boyishly and looked towards Luna. "Luna, I'm guessing your not trying out? You didn't seem to keen on it before. Don't worry, it won't upset me, I just thought you might enjoy it." He said apologetically to the blonde, and bit his lip, while turning back to watch the tryouts. Suddenly, Madam Hooch called Ravenclaw, and he made his way down to the pitch, as she had asked.

Luna didn't have a chance to answer Dakota before Madam Hooch called for Ravenclaw to go down. So instead, she walked down beside him and smiled.
"I've decided that I'd give it a try, after all the worst thing that can happen is me not making it right? But trying out alone should be a lot of fun." She said with a shrug.
"Good Luck Dakota." She added, and blushes slightly. She pulled her long dark blond hair up in a ponytail and tried to focus on what she saw the beaters from Gryffindor doing. It seemed simple enough, just hit the ball thing with the bat.
'Hmm, perhaps I should figure out what all of it is called if I make the team.' Luna thought to herself.

October jumped when Madam Hooch shouted that it was the Ravenclaws' turn, giving Martha and Erin a nervous smile she jumped quickly on her broom and sped off towards the middle of the pitch, to her surprise the nerves seemed to vanish and a determined confidence took over her, it was a feeling October had never had before but she enjoyed it, for once feeling sure of herself.
She landed next to Luna and Dakota but as soon as her feet hit the ground her legs seemed to turn to jelly and the butterflies awoke again in her stomach,she wished she was back in the air but waited patiently for Madam Hooch to give the instructions.
"Good luck everyone" October said grinning as the first people to try out few up.

Madam Hooch smiled at the Ravenclaws. 'Chasers and Beaters first,' she said, handing out beater bats and letting lose a Bludger. She then told the Ravenclaw chasers to do the same as the Gryffindors had before she let lose the Quaffle. She noted down names of talented players as she studied the Chasers and Beaters.

Martha wished October good luck before she walked down onto the pitch.
She grinned when Gryffin, Alice and Penelope sat back down. 'Looks like Slytherin has some competition,' she announced to the three of them. 'Don't think I'll go easy on you though!'
She turned to Gryffin and pushed him quite roughly on the arm so he nearly toppled over. 'Do you know how scared you made me when that bludger nearly hit you?' She shook her head in mock-disappointment. 'You're lucky I'm going to forgive you for that!'
'Great job Alice,' Martha said, grinning widely at her friend. She nudged Erin. 'It'll be interesting to see you two versing each other. You'll both obviously get on your teams.' She smirked. 'I've already started making bets on who will come out alive when you two go up against each other.'
She sat back and watched the Ravenclaws tryout, hoping they'd be so rubbish first years to laugh at.

"Oh," Andie said before Madame Hooch called Ravenclaw to go down. "Oh, God, I'm so nervous! What about you, October?" she asked, running up next to her.

Alice flew over to the stands with Pen a huge grin spread across her face she had given it her best and she could only hope now. "Well done Pen" she said as they sat down next to her and Will "You did great, you too Gryffin I'm going to feel sorry for the other teams chasers" she said with a grin "and there beaters" she said with a playful smirk sent to Will and Martha and Erin. Alice laughed "Don't worry Martha we don't expect you to" she smiled "And thanks Pen did great too" she said "You'll have to teach me how to do a flip like that" she said to Penelope Alice turned To Erin with a grin "Oh Don't worry Erin knows she's going down" said Alice but laughed to show she was kidding.
As she sat down The ravenclaws were standing to go she cheered loudly for October, she knew October would be a brilliant keeper and would no doubt give it her best. "Go October!" she cheered.

'Great flying.' Stacey said grinning at Gryffin, knowing he should definetly make the team. Then when Penelope and Alice landed she grinned wide at them, 'You two were great.' She said honestly. She heard Martha mention Erin and Alice. 'Oh it will definetly be interesting to see those two against eachother.' She agreed.
She then watched as the Ravenclaws began there tryouts. She knew October would be a good keeper and she could hear Alice cheering so she obviously thought so too. She smiled up at them and joined in with Alice's cheering.

"Can't blame me Princess, its hard to concentrate when you're in the stands cheering," Gryffin said with a wink. "But I'm grateful that you forgive me." He said, rubbing his arm.
"Stace that was great, Professor Hooch is crazy and blind if she can't tell what a great beater you are. Together we'll be unstoppable." Gryffin said, giving Stacey a high five. He grinned at his Slytherin friends.
He was very surprised to see that Luna was auditioning for quidditch. "I didn't know she knew how to play." He said, changing the subject.

Penelope rolled her eyes at Gryffin when he commented on why he nearly got hit by the bludger. "Gryffin, you're such a show off." She said and smacked him.
"Martha, I'd hope you wouldn't go easy on us. Its no fun that way." She replied to Martha and smiled before turning her attention to Alice.
"I'll definitely show you the flip. We'll do some practice runs later on. I actually learned that trick from Kyle. By the way Alice, you are amazing." Penelope gushed.
She was also a little surprised to see that Luna was going to try out, especially since last year she had called the bludger a whackspurt ball. She was definitely looking forward to seeing all of the tryouts.
She cheered for October, Andie, and the others. She was sure that they'd definitely make their house team.

Luna climbed on her broom and zoomed up along with the other ravenclaws. As soon as Madam Hooch released the bludger, Luna sped up to get close enough to it, waiting until the right moment before she swung at it with her bat.
She had to admit that hitting it did make her feel incredible. She watched as it zoomed toward a Ravenclaw that she didn't recognize. The ravenclaw fell off his broom when he was attempting to get away from the bludger. Luna winced.

Dakota got onto his broom quietly, and lifted off his feet. Unfortunatly, he only knew a couple of cool moves, and to be honest, he learned most of them by watching the quidditch teams here. He knew keeper moves, Chaser moves, Beater moves, he had calculated them all.
He once tried to duplicate a move Kain had done, which involved flipping over on his broom, and with one spare foot, kicking the incoming quaffle, but when he attempted it, after almost falling off his broom, he went to kick the ball, and it knocked him off the stick, simply because if its speed. He had seen others, Erik was excellent at flips, and Dakota could only clone one of them.
He sped off after the quaffle as Madam Hooch released it, and caught it, speeding towards the rings, dodging any obsticles in his way. Which, included the Bludgers, the Snitch, and some random bugs. He threw it towards the ring quickly, and it got in the center one, and he blinked a couple times, not believing it.

Erin grinned when Martha mentioned bets, "Well if you bet on Alice, i'd be sorry to see you loose a few galleons!" she said, winking at her friend. She smiled when they started to talk about herself versing Alice, opting not to say anything, no need to sound too big-headed she thought. No-body had really seen her fly properly yet, she had been learning herself a couple of new moves over the summer, well, she had to steal her broom away. As her muggle mother didn't approve of her flying since she had encouraged her 7 year old sister to kick off the ground as hard as she could on her first go. Needless to say, her sister and sped of, screaming into the distance, and Erin had gone inside for some cake.
"I think Luna will surprise us all," she said, raising an eyebrow when the bludger hit and took a ravenclaw clean off his broom. "Wow, she isn't messing either. She knows what she's doing! You'll have to take care of her Martha!" she said, giving her friend a nudge on the arm.

Madam Hooch wrote down the names of talented beaters. She was surprised that Luna Lovegood was doing extremely well. She hadn't even known she played. 'Ok, Beaters, you may return to your seats.' She turned to watch the chasers, noting down a few more names.
'Keepers up next,' she called. She looked up at the chasers. 'Try and block as many goals as the chasers through at you.'

Gabrelle smiled as October and Andie got up to go down to the pitch "Good Luck, You'll be fine" She shouted as they sped off to the middle of the pitch with Madam Hooch awaiting their arrival.
"Well done Alice, Pen, Gryffin, Stacey." She said as she smiled at the Gryffindor's as they sat down. "You should all make the team." She added then turned to Erin "I've heard it's going to be easy competition for Slytherin chasers. Mainly first years or something like that" She shrugged and watched as Luna hit the bludger knocking another Ravenclaw off their broom.
She heard Martha talking about bets "It'l probably be a blood bath out there then" She said giggling to herself. "But I do think between the house teams there will be big competition" She said whilst watching the tryout's . "I mean have you seen Luna better be careful on our brooms and then Alice, Pen,Stacey and Gryffin. It will be hard competition against them. So we best be on our wits while playing against these, that is if we make the team." She added with a big smile across her face.
She looked towards Kain who gave her a welcoming look she smiled back and said "Hi Kain , Gabrelle, If you don't remember its fine, I think we all had a good bit to drink last night" She held out her hand for him to shake.
