Kyle chuckled darkly when the first year students showed how inept they were at quidditch, especially for the position of beater. He shook his head and crossed his arms. First years were so pathetic.
When Madam Hooch called the Keepers and Chasers, informing that it was their turn to start, Kyle climbed on his broom easily and with in a blink of an eye was high in the sky. As soon as Madam Hooch threw the quaffle in the air Kyle caught it effortlessly.
He zigzagged through another bunch of first years, and for fun, even tossed the quaffle up in the air. However, before any of them had the chance to grab it, Kyle did the same flip that Penelope had did during her audition, which allowed him to take the quaffle back.
"You'll have to do better than that." He said coldly toward the first years.
He noted that a first year was the one to try out for keeper first. He rolled his eyes and a brilliant idea hit him. He zoomed in with the quaffle and with his best aim, sent the quaffle toward the hoop. The first year wasn't fast enough to move out of the way and so the impact of the quaffle sent both the first year and the ball through the hoop.
"What a loser," Kyle said quietly to himself.

Erin watched Kyle fly with interest, wincing when he sent a first year through the hoop, she shook her head and leaned forward on her broom, zigg-zagging through the other chasers as they sped for the ball, a third year caught it before her and she slammed into him, knocking the wind straight out of him and flying off in the opposite direction, quaffle in hand, when she heard Madam Hooch's whistle.
Apparantly she had cheated. Who knew? She threw the quaffle to Kyle with one hand and sat on her broom for the designated minute, looking over her shoulder she realised the kid had fell to the ground. She didn't think she had hit him that hard.
Impatiently she sped off after forty seconds, no-one would notice, she intercepted the quaffle easily and launched it through the left hoop. While some may go for flashy tricks, Erin preferred to go fast.

October swung her broom over her shoulder and returned back to the stands where she sat down next to Gryffin and Stacey.
She cheered loudly for Martha and Will as they tried out for beater, Slytherin looked like tough competition so far. October grinned and clapped enthusiastically when Erin scored, if she made it as keeper for Ravenclaw she would have to work hard not to let Erin score past her, she seemed very good.

Will flew down his nervousness turned to a confident smirk Martha flew down with him as he sent a wave back up to everyone on the stands. He watched as the pityful first years attempted to try and bat the bludger away, he laughed as Martha sent the bludger flying into the small group of terrified first years.
He batted the bludger away with sheer force and smiled "Good shot Moon" he said as he batted it again as the bludger sped back round at a frantic speed it flew a good ten feet across the pitch before it gave up and began stalking the first years.
He flew to the side of the pitch with Martha and watched the others he cheered loudly for his team mates hope-ing they would make the cut.

Martha returned to the stands with Will as the Beater's audition was brought to an end. The chasers, keepers and then the seekers were told it was their go. 'Nice hitting there, Thorn,' Martha said to Will as they sat down with their other friends. She grinned at Alice as Will sat down next to her. 'I'm positive you'll make the team!'
Martha turned to Gryffin and smiled. 'Thanks,' she said, taking Fluffy off of him and stroking the snake's scaly head with her little finger. 'It was nice of you to look after him while I was gone.' She was taking to the snake as she said it and winked at Gryffin.
'Hufflepuff next,' she said to him, watching as Erin, Kyle and Gabrelle passed each other the Quaffle. She hoped they would make the team. It would be no fun without them. Martha sniggered as Kyle threw the Quaffle so hard at a first year trying out for keeper it sent him flying through the hoop as well. She noticed that it was Kain's turn and grinned widely. He was going to get the position. He was an excellent Keeper. 'You'll like this one,' Martha said, returning her gaze to Gryffin. 'Me and Erin are planning a prank on Lance.' She winked. 'You'll just have to see what we've got in mind...'

Gabrelle passes the Quaffle between herself, Erin and Kyle. At one point when she had the quaffle two first years came towards her she dived down into a nose dive then pulled up suddenly making them narrowly miss one another. She laughed as another first year came toward's her head on she pulled up and he flew into the other two who where still in a daze as they stopped in mid air.
She made her way to the goalposts and easily enough threw the quaffle through the middle one. A first year was trying out for keeper at this point. he tried to save but fell off his broom. She laughed and threw the quaffle to Erin, Who caught it with ease. She wasn't as good as Erin and Kyle she thought as she caught the Quaffle when Erin threw it to her. Two second years hovering in mid air look at her in the eyes as she throws the quaffle into the air and jumps off her broom. Kyle catches the quaffle as the broom fly's up to catch Gabrelle.
"Lets pick up speed eh?" She shouted to Erin and Kyle. "Show the first years what quidditch really is." She sped up and watched Erin slam into a third year sending him flying, Watching as Erin sped off towards the goals and throwing the quaffle into the left hoop. "Woo go Erin!" She shouted. The faster the better she thought to herself.

When the first years were done trying out for Keeper, Kain mounted his broom, and flew up to the goal posts.
It was required for Keepers to let balls in for Chasers to prove their throwing abilities.
But then again, they were supposed to defend more then they let in.
So, Kain awaited as a first year chaser tried to throw the quaffle into the right hoop, and Kain flipped his broom, enabling him to move from the middle hoop to the side one, as he hit the quaffle with the end of his broom easily, with a simple flick. Sighing, after the quaffle rebounded to another chaser further away, who - wasn't paying attention.
He let all of his friends get it into the hoop, but every single lower classmen were shown that there was simply no way they could get the quaffle in the hoop. He smiled, and chuckled as he simply reached out his left hand and caught the quaffle in his grip, and shook his head. It was almost sad, how bad they were.

Gryffin smiled, "Can't wait," He answered Martha when she mentioned what she and Erin had planned for Lance.
"As soon as Kain sits down, he'll be thirsty so I'll go get the drinks and put the potion in his and Pen's. This is sure to be a good day." He whispered.
He pushed some of Martha's blond hair out of her face and grinned, "You were great by the way. Remind me to keep an eye out for you on the field." He said with a wink.

"Lets pick up speed eh? Show the first years what quidditch really is." Gabrelle had said. Kyle nodded in reply and a grin spread across his face. His blue-gray eyes shined with eagerness and determination.
He knew that there wouldn't be any doubt that he, Erin, and Gabrelle were going to be the chasers for Slytherin, they were basically unstoppable. So no time like the present to really show off for Madam Hooch.
'Alright, we've let the little kiddies play ball long enough, time to show 'em how its done.' Kyle thought to himself.
As soon as Kain threw the quaffle back into the game, Kyle increased his speed and caught it before any of the younger ones had any chance. He did a wide circle then threw the ball to Gabrelle, hoping that she'd catch on and know that now they'd make things more interesting and play keep away from the the hopeless. After all, part of playing chaser was to get the ball against all odds right?

Martha nodded at Gryffin when he mentioned the potion. 'Good thinking,' she said, happy she had found him to be her partner-in-crime. She looked over to the Quidditch pitch and grinned at Kain then looked towards Penelope with a smirk. Erin had just scored and Martha cheered happily. She would certainly be on the team!
Suddenly, Gryffin pushed a bit of her blonde hair out of her eyes and Martha felt herself blushing deeply and her breathing becoming heavier - though she had no idea why. He grinned at her and said something but all she could seem to do was stare back into his blue eyes.
As he walked off to get some drinks, Martha shook herself and frowned. What the hell was that about? With a shake of her head, she looked back towards the Quidditch pitch, seeing that Kain has just saved another goal.
Her heart was beating inside her chest loudly for the second time that day. The first where Gryffin had nearly gotten killed by a bludger. Martha sighed and turned to Will and Alice who were sitting together, holding hands. 'I think there's something wrong with me,' she said in a miserable voice, referring to the fluttering in her stomach. 'If I'm dead tomorrow please remind people of my greatness.'

When Gabrelle through the quaffle back to her, Erin dived steeply, toying with the other wanna-be's and letting them think they had a chance. Before cruelly whipping that chance away from them, unable to control her smirk.
Nimbly she ducked under an older boy, taking the quaffle out from right under his nose before rolling over backwards and looping back up and higher into the air so she could throw it back to Kyle. Relishing the feeling as her muscles bunched and slackened as she threw the ball one handed. She wiped her hair from her face with a finger and watched Kyle as he toyed with the student's.
Tryouts were boring really, you only had to show your stuff off for a few minutes whereas in the game, you had untill the snitch was caught and that could take ages, she thought with a huge grin that lit up her face.

Madam Hooch let the snitch go and watched as the seekers trying out tried desperately to get to it. Draco Malfoy was easily leading. 'Well done Keepers and Chasers,' she called. 'You may return to the stands.'
She wrote down a few names and smiled to herself. Sure, they had been so not-so-talented players trying out, but there turned out to be a lot of good ones too. Madam Hooch just couldn't predict who would be the House this year to win the Quidditch Cup.

Evvie was sitting on her hands now, watching all the other people trying out was really nerve wracking because she wanted so bad to join them. She had to sit on her hands in order to not grab her broom and zoom into the sky before her time came. She watched the seeker tryouts with very close attention that was very uncharacteristic for the pink haired fairy. Her golden brown eyes following every movement as if she was trying to determine what they would do next.
She let out a sigh and forced her eyes to look away from the pitch long enough to smile at Illyanna. It appeared that Illy was looking forward to their turn just as much as she was. Evvie nodded a hello to her friend and then turned her attention back to the tryouts.

Gryffin returned to the stands in enough time to see those trying out for keepers and chasers returning to the stands. He had thought ahead and gotten enough drinks for everyone. However, he knew instantly which cups were to go to Kain and Penelope.
He first handed a drink to Martha, but frowned slightly because he noticed that something was a little off, but he was sure that if it were something important that she'd tell him. So he simply shrugged it off. Then he handed a drink to Erin, Will, Alice, Gabrelle, and even Kyle.
"Great job you guys." Gryffin said with a smile. He then handed a drink to Kain and Penelope, leaving one for himself.
"Just thought everyone looked a little thirsty." He explained. He smiled once more at Martha when he took back his spot next to her.

Gryffin returned with the drinks and handed the first to her, frowning slightly as he studied her. She grinned and took the drink from him, exposing Fluffy still wrapped around her wrist. The snake was starting to get bored. He had told her as much. 'Thanks,' she said happily, noticing that feeling twist her stomach as he sat down next to her and give her a smile. But she shook it off.
She looked towards Kain and Penelope as they stood with their drinks, trying desperately not to let a sly smirk slip onto her lips. She looked the picture of innocence. And that would probably freak them out more...
She heard Madam Hooch call down the Hufflepuffs and wished Eevie, Erik and Illyanna good luck, saying it a bit sarcastically to Lance. Martha took a sip of her drink and grinned at Gryffin as Kain and Penelope did the same...
