Brennie hurried out to the pitch, feeling terrible for running late. Lia had said she was going to try out, and he heard that their recruits were slim pickings this year. That meant he just had to help out! He knew how to fly thanks to Aunt Cyd and Lia, but that didn't mean he was a great flyer. Maybe no one would notice that he simply belonged on the ground. Oh well. At least he knew his cousins would be happy that he was there to help. That was what he loved most about his family, after all; they were very supportive. He ran over to Lia, grinning brightly as he worked on his paperwork. Once done, he handed it over and resumed his position by his best friend.

.¸¸.•´´¯`•Laili gave a giant sigh of relief when Mary agreed to be her vice captain and blushed at the younger girl saying it was an honor. Was this how Chance had felt when he asked her? She'd have to ask one day. "It's my pleasure, really! You're doing me a huge favor!" she told the girl before looking over those at tryouts. She bit her lip noting that they had a lot smaller turnout than usual (or maybe this was just her first time noticing it??) but was happy and surprised to see Brennie in attendance. She knew her little cousin probably came when he heard about low interest and she would have to be sure to pick him up something nice and sweet her next Hogsmeade trip. She brought her fingers to her lips letting out two short whistles hopefully getting everyone's attention. "Hello everyone! Welcome to any new people and welcome back to the old! If you haven't already please turn in your sheets so we can get these tryouts started. I'm Laili Abrams, the captain of this wonderful team, and this beside me is my newly deputized vice captain Mary Conri-Dechering. Now, for tryouts I'll be splitting you into two teams, black or yellow, with the exception of seekers who will just be trying to catch the snitch before the other. For black team: Bethany and Lucien as chasers, Ilene as beater, and Sher as keeper. Yellow team: Mary and Shui as chasers, Lia as beater, and Dagrun as keeper. Mera and Brennie, like I said earlier, you two will be competing for who captures she snitch first independent of the teams so beaters, no aiming at the seekers please! So, with that all done, I'd like three laps around the pitch before getting into formation!" Laili had pulled her cousin to the side earlier and asked for her random change of position and was thankful the first year had agreed. It helped with most of her family being beaters so hopefully she picked up a thing or two to not get killed. The howler from her aunt would probably kill her before the actual woman did.

☙❧Lia had been confused when her cousin pulled her aside to ask a favor and very nearly pouted when she had actually begged for her to try out for beater instead of seeker. She supposed it was a good idea she had asked Brennie to come by just in case but. Still! She let out a sigh wondering if Ezulie herself was commandeering her family to be beaters and grabbed a bat before doing her laps. Once in position, she followed a bludger and made a silent plea of apology towards Bethany.

Brennie flew his laps then took to the air. As he climbed higher, he realized that maybe offering his services wasn't his best idea. Oh well, his cousin needed him. It helped that she told the beaters not to aim at him, because he was really scared of getting hurt by one of those. He flew forward, biting his lip as he searched for the snitch. Surely it was around somewhere... How did Dris and Jamie do this all the time?

.¸¸.•´´¯`•Laili looked at the time and instead of whistling like before (they were much too high for that to work) cast a sonorus on herself. "Alright team! That's the end of tryouts, please come back down!" While she waited for everyone to float down she quickly did the summoning charms for the bludgers and the snitch being immensely grateful that they were practice ones that the spell would work for rather than the ones they used for games. "Ok so! You all looked awesome up there and I'm so totally grateful for all of you coming out. Mary and I will discuss team selections and post it in the common room. Great job again!" she beamed and waved at everyone suddenly feeling tired even though she hadn't actually been playing.

.¸¸.•´´¯`•Laili was still pretty amped about last year and her excitement outweighed any nerves that might've still be hanging on. Despite her fears, not only has she been able to decently lead her team, they managed to tie for the cup! She was pretty sure she had cried a lot as she thanked the entire team for all their efforts, especially her poor baby cousin who still looked wobbly on his broom, and made sure to practice extra hard over the summer to ensure she was still in tip top shape. She walked across the field with her forms and quills under one arm while she steadily levitated the usual crate in front of her. Spreading the forms and cancelling the spell on the ball crate she eagerly waited for the rest of her team.

☙❧Lia was super pumped about doing Quidditch again and was hoping there wouldn't be another member crunch like last year and she had to play beater again. It's not like she didn't like it, she admittedly enjoyed having an anger outlet and could finally understand why her mom seemed to have fun during her games, but she really wanted to try seeker. She spotted Laili already waiting with the forms all set out and was thankfully not assaulted with a hug like last time though she was sure the teen had just barely restrained herself. "Maybe this year we'll crush Gryffindor instead of just tying." Hopefully since she said this into existence didn't mean karma would make them lose all their games. Knock on wood knock on wood!

Saffron walked out onto the quidditch pitch, eager for tryouts. She had never played before, the closest thing she had gotten to it was stealing her mother's old broom and flying around in the woods. However, it ended in her getting distracted by some birds and her slamming into a tree before promptly falling to the ground, breaking her arm due to the fall. She would be lying if she said she wasn't a little scared to get back on a broom, but the only way to tame the horse is to get back on it. Or something like that.
She grinned at the older girls and stuck her hand out, "Hi! I'm Saffron."Saf tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, trying to keep it out of her eyes. She wasn't sure what she was good at yet, but surely she'd be good at something. Nevertheless, she was willing to try.

Brennie walked out onto the pitch following behind his elder cousin. Laili had been thrilled about their season last year, and had even bought him a giant chocolate bar for his help. So of course, he was back to help again. Though, this year he hoped the older Seeker came back... from wherever they'd been. Honestly, Brennie wasn't really sure if they'd been sick or perhaps just decided to stop playing. Either way, he'd been happy to step up and do the work. He ran his hands through his wind-blown hair, grinning brightly. This year he had his very own broom (courtesy of Uncle Wyatt, of course), and all kinds of new gear. It made him feel like he really belonged on the team, rather than just helped out in the "just in case" situations. It was going to be easier now that he'd actually played as well. He walked over to the group, doing a little twirl, before he greeted the others. "Hi guys! We're gonna have shush a great year!" He gave a bright smile, eyes twinkling with excitement.

Ollie was pleasantly surprised by his parent reaction to his sorting. They figured he wouldn't be Slytherin. Jarrett just called him and his house a good match cause he was stupid. He didn't think so... his parents suggested some extracurricular activities and he had heard the team needed new faces so he decided why not. He wasn't good with the high-speed chaser position and he count catch well. Keeper was a possibility but he was worried he panic come crunch time, seeker was super hard so no go. That left beater, he was good at muggle baseball so why not! entering the pitch he grabbed a form and filled it out. Here's hoping they could use little ole him

Dagrun hustled down to the pitch, mindful that she stood a good chance of making first string next year, after Sher had graduated. In the mean time, the least she could do was be on time for tryouts. Laili had enough to worry about, what with being both captain and Head Girl. Way too much stress, if you asked Dagrun, who was still relieved she hadn't made prefect. No thank you. She smiled briefly at the two new first years trying out, and grabbed a form.
