Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tobi walked onto the field, school broom on his shoulder and his bat in his hand. He had read the student board in the Hufflepuff common room and had decided to see who would come and replace their keeper and chaser. He had still felt bad from their defeat, wishing he could have knocked the Slytherin seeker out just seconds before she could catch the snitch, but it didn't matter anymore. Game was over, injuries healed, and the first year was ready for another go. As he walked onto the field Tobi spotted Heather waiting for people to show and jogged up next to her. "Hey Heather! How ya feelin'?" the short boy asked.

Ariana was in the common room when she heard the announcement about the emergency Quidditch try outs. Puzzled, the redhead walked onto the pitch. They needed to replace the keeper and two chasers. "Hey. Did Steele quit?" she asked the three students who had already showed up. She hoped he, and the chasers, hadn't quit.

Ariana's face lit up with joy when she saw Katrina walk onto the pitch in Quidditch gear. The gear was too big for the girl, but who cared? She was here! Trying out!

Hᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀ turned to see none other than Tobi trotting up to greet her, a bright smile on his face and eagerness lighting up his eyes. His presence made the fourth year smile. "Hey there, Tobi. I'm feeling... well, pretty stressed out. I'll explain in a bit. And my leg's all better too. Got a dislocated hip in the last game, but no biggie." Instinctively, she rubbed her right hip in small circles. The nurses had been able to easily pop her leg back into it's socket, but it had hurt like bloody Hell. Another voice hit her ears, and she looked to see her ex-boyfriend, Dhylan, strolling onto the Pitch as well. Ariana followed soon after. Both asked if someone had quit the team. Heather gulped. "Hi Dhyl, Ari. I'll explain everything in a moment. Promise." Then, Katrina came out onto the field, looking a bit ridiculous in her over-sized gear. Heather smiled at her, masking the stressed pounding of her life-giving organ. She swore that this whole ordeal would give her a heart attack in the end. "I'm glad you could make it, Kat. Very glad, in fact." And this was only getting better, for a first year she did not know came up to them all as well, waving and grinning and just being happy. His hair color rose questions in her mind, but she shoved them aside. "Welcome, Cain. My name is Heather Hawthorn. I'm the Quidditch Captain. Thank you for coming to our tryouts." Time to get the show on the road. Heather looked at every person around her, judging them in her mind. A ragtag team, but a loyal one nonetheless. Maybe they could pull off a win in the next game. "Alright, listen up. As most of you know, we were pretty much torn to bits in the last game against Slytherin. It wasn't because we're horrid players, no. Half of our team didn't even bother to show up to the match, leaving us defenseless against the Slytherin team. To make matters worse, I have received news that both William and Steele are taking a "break" for the rest of the season. That leaves us down one Chaser and our Keeper. Therefore, I decided to call you all here today to hold these extra tryouts. Kat, Cain, fill out this form so we can get started." With her speech done, Heather pulled two copies of the form she used at the beginning of the year out of her back pocket and held them out to the two newcomers. "Oh. Before I forget... Ari. Congratulations. You're our new Vice Captain. Don't try to deny the offer, because I wouldn't have anyone else fill that position than you, so I'm not taking no for an answer." she added with a smile towards the red haired Seeker. Maybe, just maybe, this team could pull through.

Dhyl stood there, looking awkward. He nodded at Heather once she had finished her speech, the looked at Ariana. "Congrats, Mate." he said, looking indifferent. Did he think he had proved himself, yes;was he happy for Ariana, also yes. He didn't really know what to think. He walked off a little bit, needing to release some of his pent up energy. He didn't even know why he was this energetic! Perhaps after nearly five months of lethargy, the boy was beginning to feel sociable again.

Tobi noticed Cain, a fellow first year, come out and gave a welcoming smile. Maybe he wouldn't be the youngest player after all! He held his head down as Heather gave a summary of the last match against Slytherin while clenching his back teeth thinking of that dark-haired Beater. b*****d. He shook those thoughts out his head to hear Ariana pronounced as Vice Captain and applauded the seeker with a large grin. If anyone deserved it, it was definitely her.

Hᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀ could see the sour faces of her team as she spoke of their defeat. They would get better though. Ravenclaw would not pull off a win in the next match. Taking the forms from Kat and Cain, she read over them and returned them to her back pocket. "Alright then. Let's get started. Dhyl and Cain, you two are going to try to steal from each other. Get down the Pitch to the goals, where Kat will be attempting to block your shots. Ari, you can practice with your Snitch-hunting abilities, though I have no doubts that you'll find it easily. As for Tobi, let's get some target practice in. I'll set up the targets and we can aim for those. Any questions? If not, get into the air and let's play some Quidditch." Heather opened the box that she had brought out with her and released the Bludgers, sending them flying off in seemingly every direction. Then the Snitch was set free, the tiny golden ball fluttering around the Seeker before whizzing off into the sky. Next, she placed the targets in the air, levitating them with a simple Wingardium Leviosa. These targets were not the same as the ones in the first tryouts, for these ones moved around at random points in time, making them a bit harder to hit. Lastly, she threw the Quaffle into the air. "Game on!"
