Evvie jumped up as if lightening had struck her. She skipped down to the pitch, her short pink hair bouncing up and down as she did so. She knew that those who were trying out for seekers had to wait til last, and so she stood patiently. Wishing everyone else that was trying out good luck.

Erin scowled when the tryouts were over, she had been having fun flying around but still dropped out of the sky anyhow, angling into a shallow dive at the end, enjoying the feeling as her stomach rolled over.
She hit the ground too fast however and ended up going head over heels, accepting the hand that helped her up. She muttered a thanks, not bothering to check who it was as she inspected her old broom, it was still a fast model. They just didn't build them with this type of endurability anymore. And she was pretty hard wearing with it.
She slung the broom over her shoulder and headed up the steps on her own, enjoying the momentary silence. She smiled at everyone when she got to the top and took her seat at the very edge of the stadium. Sitting on the railing with nothing behind her but air. She gave a smile to Gryffin when he handed her a drink, but set it down.
"Buck up Martha!" she said with a huge grin, "Prank time!!" her eyes lit up as she jumped off the metal railings and hung over the barrier, no regard for her personal safety at all. "You can preform the charm," Erin said, not even bothering to tone down her voice, Lance wasn't there, she had checked when she first emerged from the staircase.

When Erin mentioned prank time, Martha's eyes sparkled mischievously. Kain and Pen would have to wait... Anyway it would take about a minuet for the potion to set in properly. Erin leaned over the metal railings and shouted to Martha she could perform the charm. 'Are you sure?' Martha asked. She wasn't very confident in her magic. 'Ok, then.' She nudged Gryffin and gave him a grin. 'Come and see this.'
She joined Erin at the metal railings and targeted Lance, who was standing looking pompously at a few first years. Beaters were first up and Martha waited until Madam Hooch announced that before casting the charm, hoping it would work. And it seemed to. Lance clambered on his broom and tried to kick off from the ground. Nothing happened.
Martha snorted with laughter. 'Poor old Lance,' she sighed, 'He should learn to use a magical broomstick rather than Filch's muggle one he uses to clean the castle with...' Lance seemed to be getter redder and redder from anger and didn't seem to understand why his broom wasn't working.
Martha ran her hands over her wand. 'What do you reckon?' she asked Erin and Gryffin. 'Reckon he's had enough? Should I switch it back?' It was funny watching his frustration but she didn't want to ruin his chance to get on the team. How would she be able to hit him with bludgers if he wasn't on the team?

"KICK HARDER!!" Erin bellowed randomly at Lance, she could feel people on either side of her jump in surprise. Lance looked up and held out a hand, Erin squinted, "Now thats either a thumbs up or he is flagging me," she squinted again and then gave up. Lance stamped his foot on the ground with such force that he toppled over.
Erin burst out laughing as Madam Hooch flew down and motioned to take the broom of him, probably going to test it herself, "Now, change it now," she hissed to Martha, with still a grin on her face. With a wave of her wand the broom was switched, and Madam Hooch took the broom.
The whole field was staring at him and Erin held her breath as Madam Hooch sat neatly on the Broom and kicked sharply on the ground, swooping high into the air. "Brilliant!" Erin sighed, before jumping back onto the railing and swinging one leg over so she could watch the rest of the try-outs, she wasn't in any-ones way as they were all to the other side of her and the seats were higher up anyway.

Kain took the drink reluctantly, after getting back to the stands, and stood there, holding it in hand. It wasn't much work, frankly. All he had to do was sit on his broom, and make sure no balls went in the hoops.
It was definatly the most relaxing position. He stared at the drink, and took a small sip, frowning.
Maybe this day would be better if it weren't so sunny, and he weren't in such a bad mood. He looked at Lance, and frowned, he was so ready to yell at the insolent twit. He watched Lance exchange brooms, after being so stupid that he couldn't tell the different between a closet broom, and a quidditch one. Kain held his fingers on his temples and rubbed them gently, annoyance in the boy - in everyone, growing.

Honestly, some kids. Madam Hooch shook her head at Lance and handed him back his perfectly normal broom. This time he managed to kick off from the ground and join the other Hufflepuff's trying out for Beaters.
Madam Hooch was surprised when a girl named Illyanna hit the Quaffle very hard. Who would have thought such a sweet girl could pack a mean punch?
'Chasers and Keepers,' she called, her eyes still studying the beaters as she let lose the Quaffle. After a while, she let lose the snitch as well, and studied all of the players.

As soon as Madam Hooch let go of the snitch, Evvie was off the ground and up in the air. Flying on the broom was almost as great as flying in her fairy form... almost. Evvie's golden brown eyes fixed on the snitch and she smiled.
There was a trick that she learned over break that she hadn't seen anyone else try. She was sure that it would work perfectly for a seeker. She carefully brought one foot up on the broom, keeping her hands out in order to offer more balance. Then she shifted herself so that she was now on her one knee and her foot. Slowly she brought the other foot on top of the broom as well and stood up. It was as if she were wind surfing.
Thankfully Evvie was relatively small even in human for or she wouldn't have been able to pull off the trick. She zoomed past a few other people who were going out for seeker. She made sure to wave at them before continuing on.
She settled back down on the broom, deciding that was enough showing off, right when she was within arms length of the snitch. However, she spotted another student just about to grab it. Determination filled Evvie's eyes as she did a flip that brought her right in between the other person and the snitch.
With in seconds Evvie's hand closed around it She stuck her tongue out at the other player before putting her hand up in the air triumphantly.

Gabrelle nodded at Kyle and circled opposite him. Catching the quaffle whenever he threw it her way and throwing it back. Laughing as she did so and having a evil glint in her eye.
When Madam Hooch called them back down. She sighed and tutted in disapointment. She smiled at Kyle "At least we had fun." She shouted and landed back on the stands near her friends. "Hello guys" She said. With a big smile on her face "Well done Martha Erin Will Kyle Kain. We shall all make the team."
She laughed as Lance tried to kick off from the ground she looked over to Martha "Muggle broom?" She asked. "Genius" She added. Giggling she sat down and watched the other try-outs.

'Why thank you,' Martha replied to Gabrelle, giving a mock-bow. 'But I can't take credit. It was Erin here,' she nudged her friend, 'who thought of the prank.' She pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. 'I'm so proud. Little Erin pulling a prank. All grown up!' She patted her friend on the head and Erin returned that with a scowl.
Illyanna was still hitting bludgers, and Erik was doing well too. Martha cheered when Eevie caught the snitch and held it triumphantly in the air. She was glad the fairy had received Seeker, even if she would be hard to compete against.
She turned to Gryffin. 'Do you think the potion is working?' she whispered to him, looking towards Penelope and Kain. They didn't seem any different...

Raising an eyebrow at Martha and Gryffin Wills eyes lit up, he squeezed Alice's hand and whispered quietly getting her attention suttley "are we still plotting against Martha?" he asked the ghost of a smirk returning to his face. He watched as the hufflepuffs auditioned for the quidditch team a few of them were very talented Eevie did well as seeker Erik and Illyanna were good too. He laughed when Lances broom was switched for a fake one it was pathetic really he just wanted to punch the idiot to be honest he wasnt even smart enough to realize it wasnt real! He hoped he didnt make the team but then again it would be much more fun if he did, well it would be for the beaters.

Lance strode onto the Quidditch pitch giving everyone a smug smile, "Don't worry, I'll go easy on you all" he said whilst swinging his leg over his broom, whether he was joking or just being plain arrogant, it was impossible to tell. Lance kicked off from the ground forcefully, expecting to feel the pleasant whoosh of air around him, but nothing happened, again he tried but his feet remained firmly on the ground.
Lance's face flushed with colour as he continually tried to set off, he could tell that everyone was staring at him, this infuriated him more "KICK HARDER" Erin yelled from the stands, Lance turned his glare onto her, "I'M TRYING!" he bellowed back furiously gesturing with his hands.
Eventually Madam Hooch snatched the broom off him and pushed off easily, she handed it back to him frowning as if he had planned this to happen, "but...I....it wasn't....the broom" he spluttered taking the broom back. He kicked off again, this time managing to get into the air.

Alice was watching the hufflepuffs intently, she cheered for Eevie Illy and Erick she hoped they all made the team it would be brilliant if they did. She was disturbed from her train of thought when she saw Martha's little moment she sent a knowing smile to her as she looked slightly confused with herself, she would have to have a little girly chat with her later.
She felt Will squeeze her hand she turned to him a smile on her face, she nodded when he asked about getting Martha back. "Of course and I might have a plan" she said with an evil smile she rested her head on Wills shoulder and went back to the quidditch. "Oh looks like Lance is off again" she said suppressing a laugh "He really doesn't get it huh" she added

'Ok, Beaters, you can come down now.' Lance had actually been really good when he had finally gotten his broom to work. Madam Hooch had no idea what he had done to it. Some kids were just impossible.
'Hufflepuffs your tryouts have finished. Please return to the stands.'
(OOC - So sorry to anyone who is in Hufflepuff but hasn't posted yet >.< It was just dragging on. Also should I display who has gotten on the team now or later or not at all, since we kind of already know...? >.<)

Seeing that the Tryouts were over, Martha bounced up from her seat. 'That was brilliant,' she said happily, grabbing hold of her broom. 'We've all made the team. That's for sure.'
Fluffy hissed something that sounded like a "well done" but Martha couldn't be sure. Maybe she was just hoping the snake would say that. Usually he wasn't very talkative.
She turned to beam at her friends. 'So,' she said, 'where to now?'

Post by Miss Hikari on Sept 2, 2009 7:47:20 GMT -5
Hikari sat in the stands she'd gone to support the ravenclaws that were auditioning she knew they'd all do there very best and try there hardest. She smiled gently at the few first years that were trying out the harsh truth was they had no chance but she supported them none the less.
When the older students came down she grinned she was very proud of them all of course, she cheered loudly as they showed there stuff there were all doing brilliantly, October was a brilliant keeper, Luna a superb beater, Andie was amazing as the seeker and Dakota was awesome as a chaser they had all picked roles which definetly suited them she was just so proud of them.
She played with the scarf that was wrapped warmly around neck and watched the rest of the try out, every one was doing brilliantly thoughthe slytherins were a little to violent maybe she felt sorry for the first year that had narrowly avoided a bludger to the head, though if anything bad did happen she would be there to help them.
