The chasers, beaters adn keepers had finished their tryouts. Now the Seekers were the only ones left for the Ravenclaws. Madam Hooch waited until the Seekers were on their brooms in the air before letting loose the snitch. She watched intently, seeing who would catch the golden ball.

Andie kicked off of her broom and waited for Madame Hooch to release the snitch. Once the snitch was in the air, Andie locked her eyes on it and began to follow it. It did many little twists and turns, zig-zags and loop-de-loops. Andie watched it, follow the general course, taking short cuts whenever possible.

Madam Hooch wrote down the name of the girl who caught the snitch first: Andie Maori.
'Well done Ravenclaw,' she called to the seekers. 'You can go back to the stands now.' She then made her voice louder so the people sitting in the stands would hear. 'Slytherin's please make your way onto the pitch!'

'Slytherin's please make your way onto the pitch!'
'Oh great!' Martha said happily standing up and grinning widely. 'Here you go Gryffin!' With a soft smile she handed over her snake to the Gryffindor but not before she told the snake to behave itself. 'Thanks for looking after him.' She gave him another smile before she made her way down to the pitch with Erin, Gabrelle, Kain, Kyle, Will and Draco.

Erin smiled happily and stood up, "Cyah Fluffy," she said to the snake, "Oh you guys as well." she said remembering her manners, before taking the lazy route and flying down to the pitch. After all they were in one of the high stands and she couldn't be bothered walking down all those stairs.
She punched Martha lightly on the arm, "Knock 'em out," she said grinning, before adding with a loud whisper and a wink, "Just don't aim for me!"
Erin stood to the side with all the other chasers, waiting for the beaters to go first. She gave a big thumbs up to Martha when she looked round, many of the first years looked nervous, whilst Erin was just excited.
"If you hold the quaffle for longer than five second it electricutes you," she said in a kind voice to a first and second year, who both looked horrified. She turned away, unable to hold back her huge grin.

'Now Erin that's not nice,' Martha said seriously when her friend commented that the Quaffle electrocuted them. 'We all know that they electrocute you after only two seconds.' She winked at the first years and shook her head towards the ones that were going out for chaser, saying in a solemn voice, 'Good luck. You're going to need it. The first time Erin played as Chaser she was in the Hospital Wing for days.'
The first years looked like they might faint from horror now and Martha merely grinned widely. Madam Hooch instructed the Beaters up first.
Martha made her way over to Will and ruffled his hair, having to stand up on her tiptoes to do so. 'Ready, Will?' she asked. 'We're going to destroy these first years.' She gave a wicked glance towards the little students before she burst out laughing.

Andie sighed with relief as she caught the snitch. Madame Hooch congratulated them and called the Slytherins onto the field. As Andie made her way back to the stands, she passed Kain and Draco. "Good luck guys," she said to them.

Without another word, Kain stood, as Madam Hooch called the Slytherin's down to the pitch. He smiled lightly at Andie, and kept walking, and stood next to the other slytherin keeper wanna-be's. He held in a laugh, and instead looked at their anxious faces, as they peered at him. He obviously was frightening to them. Looking at Madam Hooch, he could only await the Keeper try-out segment.

Gabrelle sighed "Cyah later guys" She said as she made her way down to the pitch With Erin, Martha, Kain, Kyle, Will and Draco.
She laughed at the thought of the Quaffle electrocuting people and the look on the first years faces.
"Good look Martha, Don't hit me either please." She said with a grin.
She stood with Erin and whispered "We stand a good chance here don't we" She said with a smile "Mainly first years." She added.

Gryffin smiled as the blond Slytherin handed him the snake and made her way down to the pitch.
"Do you think she was telling thanks for looking after you, or you thanks for looking after me?" He asked Fluffy with a grin. Of course the snake didn't respond, but it did look like it might have rolled its eyes, you know.. if snakes could roll their eyes.
Gryffin chuckled lightly then returned his attention to the Slytherin tryouts. He cheered for Martha, and of course for his other Slytherin friends. He let his hand, that wasn't holding Fluffy, pat his pants pocket to make sure that the two potion bottles were still in there. After Slytherin's tryouts he would put the potion in Pen and Kain's drinks.

Kyle made his way down to the pitch and stood with the others that were trying out for Chasers. He rolled his eyes at the first years, thinking of how pathetic they were to believe such a thing like the quaffle would electrocute them. He fixed his gloves and dusted his brand new broom off. Satisfied that everything was in tip top shape, he decided that he should show some kind of team work attitude and so he turned to Erin, Martha, Gabrelle, Kain, Will, and Draco and smiled his most charming smile.
"Good luck guys. Lets show the first years how its done shall we?" He said.

Erin grinned at Kyle, "Sure thing boss." she turned to the first years and winked largely. Laughing at their horrified expressions as they whispered frantically with each other. She looked at Kyles gloves and frowned slightly, Erin had never had gloves, she found they made the quaffle hard to keep hold of, but she shrugged it off. Whatever works for him i guess, she thought to herself.
She watched as the beaters got into the air, some of the people trying out were a joke, no upper body strength at all, the bludger making light work of them. Erin winced when a girl was knocked off her broom. It looked painful.
She cheered for Martha and Will when they hit the bludgers hard, clapping her hands loudly.

Gabrelle smiled at Kyle "Lets" She gave a evil glance to the first years and laughed at there horrified looks. She watched the Beaters and as Martha and Will were hitting the bludgers she cheered for them. She laughed as the first years tried hitting the bludger. The look in their eyes and the expression on their face as it came close to them. One girl got knocked off her broom it looked painful. First years were dropping out left right and centre as they didn't have much upper body strength.
"Hmm should we show them what skill is when its our turn?" She asked Erin, Draco, Kain and Kyle. She glanced at the first years who in turn looked frightened especially after Erin and Martha saying about the electricutionl Quaffle. Believe anything she thought to herself.

Kain watched the first years painfully, and blinked a couple times, in disbelief. It was sort of...sad.
He sighed, and held his brand new broom next to his side, gripping it tightly. He nodded at Gabrelle, certainly he would show them what skill meant. He was fortunate he had so much time on his hands to practice quidditch, for it had proven to be helpful. He smiled at Draco, who stood next to him, yawning. "You ready Kain?" He asked, and Kain simply nodded, and Draco poked him in the shoulder. "Stop being so bloody depressed all the time. It wouldn't hurt you to smile." He said, and Kain glared daggers at him, but his eyes softened. He couldn't really be mad at Draco. Sighing in defeat, Kain waited until Madam Hooch announced keepers auditions.

Martha laughed excitedly as she took off into the air. It felt so good to be on a broom. Martha loved heights. It was nice to see the world from a distance, when everything looked so small.
Martha hit the bludger to Will a few times before sending it soaring towards a first year. The bludger collided with the boy's broom, very nearly knocking him off. 'Merlin!' Martha exclaimed. 'I just presumed you'd duck!'
She was having so much fun she was disappointed when Madam Hooch called the Beaters auditions to an end and instructed the Keepers and Chasers that it was their turn.
