Benjamin rolled his eyes when Mira came up and offered her opinion on the matter. He almost wanted to joke that if Camila asked he would say yes just to spite Mira. Honestly though he figured Mira might be a better option than he would as vice captain. Sure Benjamin was more cunning and better business sense but everyone knew he prided himself on his reputation of laziness. Mira was the one who was all work. It made more sense to him to consider Mira for vice captain... His attention turned to Camila as she answered him and he felt a sense of dread as she asked him who he thought in Spanish. Usually Camila swapped to Spanish with him when she was trying to conceal something, or their usual half-flirting banter that was hardly serious. He was dating Camila's best friend and everyone knew he was whipped by the redhead. Even he did and he figured it was safer for himself and his chance to get through the base system if he just agreed to the fact.
Benjamin's eyes widened at Camila's answer and half groaned, "por favor dígame que usted está bromeando..." She was joking, right? Except she wasn't. Her lip chew was an indication she was very much serious about the fact. "Fine... I suppose I can help you out... besides it'll get me access to the prefect's bath, right? Do you know how much I can rub that fact in to Mori? Ooh... she'll be so jealous, I'll have to take pictures to really make her green with envy!" He sighed and looked suspiciously at Camila and said, "Usted va a hacerme el trabajo, ¿verdad? On second thought, can I take back my yes?"
Tristan didn't think he was late, but as he casually strolled through the quidditch gates to meet the rest of his team on the field, it looked like most of them were already there. Probably just early then, he didn't blame them. He was excited to finally be up in the air, soaring in the skies—it was nothing compared to a good run though—but thwacking bludgers into blokes is always fun, too. Glancing over his shoulder as he strolled to snatch up a sign in sheet to fill out; he was curious if Savannah would show. He poked and prodded the idea at her, after all, she'd be able to cover for him on full moon days when he's a right beast, but she had never been interested in the sport. So only time would tell. Tristan quickly filled out and turned in his sheet, then slouched over to lean on his father's old school broom, waiting for tryouts to actually start.

ﻬஐ Caty ran out onto the Quidditch field with a school broom in hand ready to get up in the air and fly. One of the good memories she had of Aedan was him teaching them how to fly saying that they should know before going off to school since he crafted brooms. She tended to stay away from any brooms with his signature now and resisted the urge to scowl any time someone bragged about gaining or buying one, but just barely. But today wasn't about him! It was about her! She grinned as she spotted people already down there, all looking much older than her but that was alright! She'd prove her worth regardless. The young girl beamed at everyone before grabbing a form and filling it out then returning it and waiting anxiously for tryouts to start.

Location: Slytherin Try-outs - Quidditch Pitch
Mira seriously wanted to fall over. Camila had done it… She had asked Benjamin to be Vice Captain. What was she going to tell her Leo? She’d spent her whole Quidditch career hoping to outdo her sister. However she couldn’t do it. Her sister was vice captain and then captain…“I don’t believe it…”She said in shock. Sure she'd been joking but she didn't think Camila was seriously considering it. In all her life she didn’t think anyone would trust Benjamin with anything that required dedication and any kind of leadership. It just wasn’t Benjamin he was the Captain or Head anything type, at least in Mira’s mind. Apparently she saw something everyone else didn’t.“Just so we all know I’m literally dying inside…”She commented having nothing else to say about it. If out of anything else she figured Quidditch would be her in… but apparently she’d been wrong…

Savannah cradled the neck of her mother's old school broom; notches dug by nails were worn on the handle and several tail twigs were bent or broken, but the wood had been freshly polished and the broom had proven itself useful over the years. How useful she'd be though, was an entirely different matter. She never fancied herself much of a team player, but her brother needed her and she resolved to help him. Someone would need to make excuses for him, anyway. She was usually that someone. ”Hullo,” she said to her brother just before glancing over her shoulder to squint at the shadow that just fled from her sight. It'd been following her since she left the common room, but would never show its face long enough for her to see; she was starting to think she was going mad. ”Oh brilliant, you're just in time. Go fill out one of the forms,” he told her, extending his beaters bat to direct her towards the stack of parchment. Filing in line she scribbled the hasty details and passed her sheet over to the captain.

A wide gleaming grin swallowed her face the moment Benjamin realized that, no, she really wasn't kidding, and yes, she really did just ask him to be her vice captain. Probably not the most logical decision she could have made, it was actually pretty biased. But who could really blame her? For as long as she can remember, the quidditch team had been captained by some stone cold, pureblood elitist; first that Russian and then Yaxley. Camila wasn't exactly Miss Icy Veins herself, but bloody hell, the team could use a bit more liveliness—it needed more fun. ”Ugh, thank you.” She sighed, but not before shifting her gaze towards Mira as her grin shrunk to a sheepish, almost guilty, smile. ”Sorry Mira,” her shrug was awkward and stiff but was grateful for the occasional interruption as she received the sign in sheets from each newly arriving serpent that slithered onto the field. With a snort, Camila glanced upwards at Benjamin just in time to add, ”Sorry to burst your bubble, Benji, but only captain's get into the prefect bath. You'll have to wait 'til next year,” she said with an impish gleam contouring her features. ”Ha, too late! Conseguir las bolas listo—I'm sure you already have plenty of experience with that.” Camila concluded with a wink before stretching her gaze across the scattered players, it was time to start the try outs.
”Alright, welcome everyone, I'm your new captain for the year, Camila Rojas, and your new vice captain is Benjamin Ryans. If you have you any questions you can ask either one of us. Now, thank you for coming to today's try outs. We'll begin with a few warm up stretches to get ready, then jog two laps around the pitch before we get on our brooms and split up into different teams.
“Green team, your chasers are Devonte and Savannah, and Mira is your beater. Silver team, Caty and I will be chasers and Tristan is beater. Sera and Evander will be chasing the snitch. Benjamin, you'll be keeping the goals against both teams, and help me keep an eye on everything.
“We have one keeper, so we'll be using half the field. That means after every score attempt, the opposite team receives the quaffle and has to return to midfield line to begin again. Beaters, you are not to aim at the seekers during try outs, we'll save that for practices and games only, got it? Now let's start with these stretches,” she advised, instructing the players throughout until they had broken off into their laps around the field.

Kyson hurried onto the pitch, running late. That was what he got for choosing to take a nap and forgetting to set his alarm clock. He hoped the captain would still take him, and if not, then they didn't need him anyways. He rushed through the application and grabbed a school broom, not sure what to do at that point. "Uhh.... sorry I'm late, captain. What do you want me to do?" he asked, nervously scratching the back of his head. If he got denied, he would have to find something else to do with his time.

I shouldn't laugh, but I know I'm a failure in your eyes. I know it's daft, but I guess that I know it deep inside. It feels like we're ready to crack these days, you and I; When it's just the two of us, only the two of us, I could die. We're gonna separate ourselves tonight... We're always running scared but holding knives... But there's a black chandelier, casting shadows and lies.
Vander finished the stretches and jogged the laps, resisting the urge to break into a run. He wanted to, but he also hadn't pushed himself very hard all summer (though he had done a lot of swimming), and he didn't want to puke. He kicked off into the air and rose rapidly, grateful he wouldn't really have to worry about bludgers this tryout. The dark haired boy started looking for the snitch

As the quaffle flew up into the air, Devonte went after it, wanting to get a head start.

ﻬஐ Caty practically squealed as the captain started tryouts placing them on separate small teams to play against though she was slightly saddened to not be trying for seeker. However, both her brothers were already seekers, diversity was always good! She gently laid down her broom and took off jogging with the rest of the team, entirely grateful that her two best friends acted more like Labrador puppies than actually boys. When she was done she grabbed her broom and flew up into the air already seeing one of the older boys trying to grab at the quaffle. Now or never!ஐﻬ

“It’s fine…”Mira replied despite it really not being in her mind."Congratulations Benjamin." She told him. Pushing everything aside she had a position to maintain. When try-outs were called to officially start, the blonde went to work on her stretches before running the two laps. She needed the run to cool off really. Getting ready she got onto her broom the moment the quaffle was thrown. Mentally she wasn’t really in the game, physically she might have been. Looking at the way the teams were stacked her targets were Caty and Tristan…‘Okay let’s see...’Mira thought as she took aim at Tristan. The Slytherin figured Caty wasn’t much of a threat. She could aim at her later.

Sera wished she could get away with exercising more and pushing herself more over the summer, but alas it wasn't "ladylike" to run about. Besides their house elf had enough trouble chasing after Alec. At least she got away with practicing flying and horseback riding. So taking an easy jog behind Evander she started her flight quickly after and began her search of the snitch.
”No worries,” she said as she directed her broom back to the ground level and reached Kyson on the grass. After a quick glance over, she nodded and pointed a finger up in the air. ”You can join the green team as a chaser with Devonte and Savannah,” she began, pointing to each player in the sky to give Kyson a sense of who was who. Nodding conclusively, Camila turned to watch the quaffle fall into the opposing team's hand just as Mira cracked a bludger down. Launcing herself into the game, she gunned down Devonte and barreled in for a quick steal attempt.
Tristan barely had a chance to catch his bearings; he'd gotten rusty over the summer where finding a place to fly unseen was too occupied by trees or buildings to ever practice. And he couldn't exactly join the local rounders team in Hampshire; his mum would freak. So that bludger that just thwacked into his shoulder was completely unexpected, it nearly knocked him clean off his broom if he hadn't already been flying in the same direction as the cannon's velocity. Blood rushed to the sensitive nerves and he bit back a growl. What a way to start a game, ey?
ﻬஐ Caty pouted a bit when she didn't even manage to get close to the quaffle but that didn't stop her! Seeing the older girl not be able to steal she decided to come around from his other side with her arm outstretched to make a grab.ஐﻬ
