 You can make the hero you are
With your brains, your aim, and your battle stars
Everybody's got a story, of all their troubles, all their glories
Tell me yours you cannot bore me, there's a hero in youOnly one swing. Jacob winced when he realized his hit probably connected when he heard the whistle blown and Elli call for everyone to land. He landed as well, still feeling sore, and walked over to Elli. He knew what was up now, it was just a matter of deciding the team. He would give his two cents, and help there. He looked over to the rest, regarding in his head everything he saw during tryouts, and joined Elli off to the side, ready to debate the merits and the pitfalls of his teammates and figure out which would make the cut.

Hazel eyes locked on Tevye just a moment before he hit a bludger towards him. Cameron extended his arm backwards in an attempt to send the bludger right back at the beater; however, the whistle blew which meant the end of tryouts arrived. Lucky for Tevye because he could have been hit pretty hard, and Cam knew this hit was going to be a tough one. The sixth year flew down to the ground before the bludger could reach him. He didn't plan on ending the tryouts with one last memorable hit to his body. Man, I hope I make the team, he thought, but he knew the competition for beaters was horribly intense.

Elli nodded her head as she and Jacob came to an agreement, and then headed over to the rest of the group. She whistled with her mouth, letting her actual whistle dangle from her neck, to get everyone's attention. "Alright everyone the team has been decided. Each position on the team has 2 reserve spots and if you get placed as first reserve you'll be the first called onto the pitch if needed. Got it?" She waited for confirmation from the crowd of students before continuing.
"Christian Barett, you will be our keeper. Xavier Nicholson, and Caitlin Engels, you will be my fellow chasers. David Clarisse you will be our seeker. Cameron Rowley, you will be our other beater." She let the starting team choices sink in as she quickly read over her list of reserves before nodding again. She knew the choices she was making were right and she was going to hold true to her stance.
"For Keeper. First reserve is Minn Nolynn. Second Reserve is Alex Quimby. For Seeker. First reserve is Romy Bleiddiaid. Second Reserve is Eun Han. For Beater. First reserve is Tevye Murphy. Second reserve is Toby Walsh. And finally for Chaser. Our one and only reserve is Leonette Mitchell." With her team announced, Elli nodded to everyone in the group around her. "If any of you have any questions, please feel free to come to me and ask them."

 Alexandria sighed when she heard the whistle blow. I didn't even have a chance to show my skills! she thought, feeling rather annoyed. But she blew it. She blew her chance to show what a great keeper she could be. The girl flew down to the pitch and waited anxiously for the captain and vice captain to decide the team. When they announced that she would be the second reserve for the keeper position, another sigh escaped the girl's lips as dark eyes narrowed to stare at the ground. "There's always next year," she mumbled to herself then walked towards the school.

Robin 'Theo' Gibbs Eleven year old Football Prodigy House: Gryffindor{|}Football Club: TBA{|}Mood: Cheated Theo listened and when it was announced, he instantly began to walk off the pitch. Why? Because it angered him. He couldn't believe it. A kid that walked off the pitch, cursing his own teammates, gets a spot. A tear almost came to his eye when he said forget it. This sport wasn't worth it if the so called leaders reward poor sportsmanship. This wasn't his game. He had no reason to play. I can't even believe this, he thought to himself. I don't even care. This team...this pitch...this school.
He instantly went to the castle, leaving the broom he was flying on the pitch for them to clean up. He felt cheated. Sure, he did not catch anything...but he had just about the same amount of chances as the older boy who walked off the pitch. "I'll stick to football. That's where I am great. This team is full of fifth years and a fourth year. I wouldn't even be able to try for real until my fourth year," he said to himself.
He really could say a few words to their so called captain, but he would hold his tongue. He was better than that. He was better than this. He would never understand, but all it told him was he should stick to what he was good at. He would never fit into that sport. He liked it, but he no longer loved it. It was ruined for him now and all he would do was look back at it and say that it was a learning experience.

Romy snuggled awkwardly into his sister, not sure what to say. The seventh year was comforting and loving, which warmed his heart, but it wasn't.... right... for some reason. Maybe she wasn't the girl he was hoping to get comfort from? When Elli began to announce the team, he looked up, blinking. Xavier and Cait were Chasers and David was Seeker. He wasn't at all surprised at David's position, but Remy's lack thereof? That was... different. Though, he could see why Elli did what she did. Remy hadn't exactly finished the year prior on good terms. Maybe... maybe the Seventh Year would be okay, or maybe she'd sink back into her depression. He looked at the girl, a nervous curiosity in his eyes.

Relief swept over Cameron when he was announced as the second beater next to the vice captain. The sixth year couldn't help but grin, he was just happy to be on the immediate team. After all, he was placed as a reserve once before when Elli was partly in charge though he did know the brunette played by rules and as fairly as she could, so the fact that he was placed on the team this year must have meant his tryouts when great!

Tevye felt a bit sad he did not make the team this year. He blinked a bit as he heard the rest of the reserves. "What about Remy she's not even going to get a change to play?" The boy may be disappointed he's not going to play every game but he'd be crushed if he got told he did not make the team at all.

✯Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar✯
✯Louder, louder than a lion✯
✯Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar✯
Remy looked up when she heard the loud whistle, eyes wide in curiosity. As Elli began listing names, the Seventh Year applauded lightly, clapping for each of the students that made the team. Her soft smile never left her face, a sort of dreamy expression there. Sure, she didn't make the team, but had she really expected any different? She remembered Elli's words in Steele's office the year prior."Not our whole team is pitiful repulsive creatures like her." It was true, wasn't it? The team was full of great kids, and she was proud she had gotten to make friends with them while she had the chance.
The gold eyed girl walked over to Elli, looking directly into the younger girl's eyes. "Good luck this year, McHalen. Hopefully you can get the team out of the slump I deadlocked us into. Maybe we'll finally win." Without another word, or even a glance in any other direction, she walked off the Pitch, a vial of potion swinging from a leather cord around her neck. A tear fell down her cheek as she walked away, leaving behind one of the last few things in the world that could make her smile.

Ronna listened to the listing of the team, waiting to see how the beaters would play out, then her eyes flashed when it was announced that Toby would get the second reserve and not her. She had done better: landed more hits. Sure she had her sharp anger problem but didn't Eun show worse sportmanship than she did.
"Guess that's what happens when the captain only listens to half your answer," Ronna replied, unzipping her bloody hoodie. And holding it in a ball in her arms. She'd work on cleaning it that night. Maybe it give her something to focus on to get her anger out.
She nodded to Crash and said, "Well, congrats on getting keeper, Crash. I'm taking my leave. No reason to linger. Guess I'll see you here again next year for try-outs, Captain." Holding her broom and bloody hoodie she walked towards the castle keeping her head held high: she knew why she hadn't made reserve like she wanted it was because she pissed off Elli and her boyfriend, but if they had fully paid attention they would have realized what she said wasn't all bad. It was frustrating. Of course, then again, Elli hadn't given Remy a chance either...

  Location: Quidditch Try-outs "I'll just get some help with it when either is free." Leontte told Minn. After getting help before going back to playing, Leonette was once again hit although not without a lack of trying to protect her by Ronna. As the try-outs came to an end she made it as reserve for Chaser and David made Seeker like he always dreamed. However what floored her was that Remy didn't even get to be reserve. That was completely unfair in her eyes. Looking to see David's reaction it went from ecstatic to downright angry. Leonette quickly went to David's since in a flash. "David's just let it go..." she told him in less than a whisper. "We should probably head back." she continued hoping to get his attention before he blew up and lost his spot on the team.

 Location: Quidditch Try-outs Listening to the main team list David at first was a little shocked that Remy didn't make it as at least one of their Chasers. When he heard he made Seeker he was the happiest he could ever be. "Yes." he cheered for himself. "I won't let you down Elli." he told her beaming with happiness. It wasn't until David heard the reserve list that he was downright pissed off. Remy from what he could tell was one of their best players if she didn't play they were going to be a huge disadvantage. All happiness had completely left and for once being on the team left a sour taste in his mouth. If it weren't for the fact that he would with his luck lose his spot on the team for yelling at Elli he would have said something. Then again David might have if not for Leonette stepping in. "Right..." David said spinning on his heels and walking off the pitch. He wasn't going to say another word to Elli after that. In fact she'd just lost all respect that he'd given her at least for the time being. Status: Happy and Ecstatic to downright pissed off With: Quidditch Team...

That wasn't fair at all, and she decided to say something. "Elli! I have a problem with the team! Alex and I didn't even get to try to block any shots! How can you call the team with it being as unfair as this!? Just 'cause the Chasers on my team were good enough to keep the Quaffle at the other goals means I don't even get to try-out? And don't say I did try out, because sitting in front of a goal while you and Xavier weren't even trying to get the Quaffle near me isn't trying out. I kindly request a retry for myself, and one for Alex too, 'cause I want to play on the team." The normally quite happy girl was quite a bit angry, but not just at the one-sided Keeper tryouts. She had known Remy for years upon years now, and knew the older girl wasn't happy. Unfortunately, she'd also come to learn quite a bit about Elli, and she didn't much approve. It wasn't fair. The greed eyed girl crossed her arms. She had done good last year, but now she wasn't even given a chance? That was stupid, and she would fight it tooth and nail. It seemed the only way to get anything done anymore was to be loud and violent. What about all the people she didn't even give a chance? For now, the girl kept quiet, waiting for Elli's response. Maybe, just maybe, she would get a chance to prove herself. {OoC:} ≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎

Ronna paused noticing David's simmering temper, Leo telling him to let it go, and Minn making a valid point that Alex and Minn really didn't have an opportunity to try out because the chasers were so good. There was also the fact that she had a reserve chaser position open and Remy didn't even get that and then the fact that Toby, who did worse in try outs than Ronna did, got a spot as reserve.
Quite frankly, Ronna was furious, she knew her temper was mostly the reason she didn't get even a position as reserve, but how it played out with Remy was just wrong! And Minn did have a point about the keepers. "Captain," Ronna said using the title even though she wasn't on the team, because after all Elli was the Gryffindor's Quidditch Captain. "Not that you probably care about a non-team members opinion, but if you didn't plan on taking on Remy even when you had the positions it would have been better if you had told her before try-outs. And Minn does have a point... I mean she did play keeper all last year. Should count for something."
She shrugged and waited for an answer to Minn's demands and also the possible blow up her statement would bring. Ronna figured she had nothing to lose by further pissing off the quidditch captain at this point-who obviously was prone to making poor decisions in Ronna's book.

Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
You can never say never
While we don't know when Tobias Philemon Walsh - Halfblood Gryffindor - Second Year - Twin - [feeling: nervous] [thinking: I'm probably not going to get an actual spot...] [with: Gryffindors] [at: Gryffindor Team Tryouts] Toby landed, expecting to hear that Ronna had made second reserve, and that he was just going to have to try out again next year, sorry. To his shock, he made second reserve, which he didn't think he would make. He frowned despite his excitement at having made the team, trying to figure out why. Ronna seemed mad. Well, you did pick a fight, he thought to himself silently. He had a hot temper as well, but he would never mouth off to two older students, especially when one of them was in charge of who got on the team. Another boy who's name, he thought, was David, stalked off, obviously upset about something- Toby was pretty sure it was the fact that Remy, the former captain, hadn't made the team again. Well, she had cheated, and yeah, it sucked she didn't make it back on...but it was ultimately the captain and vice captain's decision, right? They seemed to know what they were doing, and he wasn't just thinking that because he had gotten a spot. A younger girl, Leo, was it, followed after the boy. He was pretty sure they were related. He stepped up somewhat awkwardly to Elli and Jacob, scratching the back of his head. "Um, thanks. For making me a reserve. I didn't really expect to get on the team, but I did. I won't let you guys down, if I'm put in a game," he promised, a grin starting to light up his features. Then Minn and Ronna piped up. Toby blinked, and then his mouth opened before his mind considered. "Hey! Calm down! Why are you just pissed at Elli- er Captain!? She and Jacob- no disrespect, mate-sir, um...yeah! They both made the decision, and shouldn't you be talking to them about it later, not in front of everyone causing a scene! This team's dramatic enough, no offense guys!" He folded his arms, decided that seemed sort of pratty, and unfolded them, shoving his hands in his pockets. "You and Crash are in the same year, so wouldn't you both have an equal chance of getting the spot? You're first reserve, anyways. Why are you complaining?" Saying anything to Ronna seemed like asking for a punch right now. Then he seemed to realize that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't his place to be talking, and his brown eyes widened. "I mean-! Uh! Sorry," he finished lamely. "I'm just going to....shut up and go now. Thanks again, Captains." He gave an awkward salute and jogged off, holding his broom. Younger now than we were before. TEAM 2
