Honestly, he would be surprised if the thing didn't fall apart mid-flight and send him crashing to some form of doom (he hoped not--those 7th year behemoths could summon a trampoline or something, right?). To be honest, he had no idea what he was doing: He knew nothing about quidditch other than he had to fly around like those witches in cartoons do, and throw some ball into hoops like in basketball, but the hoops are vertical and don't have the netting. There's also little to no safety measures, so the chances of crashing and suffering a life-altering concussion may be what awaited Fay at the end of this tryout.
What he did know, however, was that quidditch looked cool, and obviously doing something cool, no matter how stupid you look while doing it, automatically made you cool.

Dylan ran out onto the field, broom in hand, huffing and puffing. He was late and he knew it. He apologized to Timothy as he grabbed a form and filled it out quickly. This year was not getting off to a good start so far, but he'd make his last year count. He didn't plan on coming back to the sport beyond Hogwarts, after all.

❝Timothy grinned as people started showing up, some of them to his amazement and gratification new faces, and just nodded at Gracie's question of if he was ready. He really wanted to sign that he couldn't wait for this to just all be over but he didn't think that was very becoming of a captain. When he was sure he had all the forms and that no stragglers were coming he performed the same charm from last year shaking off the same strange feeling as the words formed beside him. "Hello everyone, my name is Timothy Whitethorne and I'm your captain while your vice captain is Lola Ye." he gave a brief wave and grin over towards the younger before continuing. "Thank you all for coming to tryouts, I know our house isn't exactly known for its Quidditch participation, so seeing you here is just fantastic. Because we're trying to ensure the best probability overall, some of you may be asked to play your second choices rather than your first, but for this first round we'll try and keep it to the first. You will be split up into two small teams, beaters can go after anyone besides Rhys, our lone seeker. Blue team will be as followed: Dylan and Diantha as chasers, Lola as beater. Bronze team will include Benjamin and Gracie as chasers and Fay and Ahna as beaters. Rhys, you'll just be going after the snitch by yourself and I will be keeping watch of you all from the ground. If there are no questions, do three laps around the field in air to get warmed up and then I'll release the balls." Timothy gave a brief nod and watched the team for any questions or looks of derision. When they had done the warm ups he released the quaffles and tiny golden snitch before throwing up the quaffle. He would've been in the air with them but he figured he would probably do better just by watching.❞

With permission of one of the person who actually MADE the quidditch system, this is how this shall work: When your chaser reaches the stands after 3 posts they will automatically garner one point for that team. That said, THIS IS NOT HOW QUIDDITCH IS USUALLY PLAYED PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING DON'T ASSUME THAT IN ACTUAL GAMES. Thankyouverymuch!]

Rhys nodded at Timothy, listening to the captain's words and knowing that at least he was ready for the tryouts. No one seemed to be paying him any mind, either, which suited him just fine as well. He climbed onto his broom and signed a fast,"On it, captain."He then launched into the air, looking around to see if he could see the snitch. It had to be here somewhere, he just had to find it. Where, he didn't know.

Grace was ready to go the moment things got underway. She was quick to do her three laps around the field. Getting into position, the fifth year hoped she could do this. She wanted to make the team for her sister's last year. Though if she couldn't she'd happily cheer from the sidelines. “Here goes nothing.” Grace said at the tossup. Going for the quaffle she hoped for a good start to the new year.

Di shot up in the air for the tossup, trying to reach it before the older girl, Grace, could.

Di came away with the quaffle, to her surprise, and tucking it against her, immediately headed for the stands.

Rhys didn't see the snitch yet, but he knew it wasaround somewhere. He continued to look, teal eyes scanning around as he took in the field. He rose a bit higher, thinking that maybe if he had some altitude, he might be able to spot it sooner.

Dia got a hold of the quaffle at the toss but Grace wasn't going to fret. It was a minor set back. One that seemed to always happen almost every time. She went after the second year hoping to get the ball back. Pushing forward she went in for the steal. Swooping in from the side hoping to take the quaffle away from Dia.

Benjamin watched the beginning toss up, watching as Grace and the newest girl Diantha fought for the quaffle possession. Benjamin moved a little further back to protect from the counter and to get a better position just in case Diantha did get it. And she did get the quaffle so it was good that he was back there. He watched as Gracie went for the steal and didn't come up with it. He himself then went for it, hoping to get a steal for them. He shook his head as he was unsuccessful. Not a good start to the day.

Di dodged Grace and then held her breath as she dodged another older player, Benjamin. She was... she was actually doing fairly well for someone who'd never done this before.

Watching as Dia dodged her attempt to steal, Grace looked to Benjamin as he attempted the same. Sadly he too missed and Dia continued on towards the goal. She was almost there and they were running out of time. Looking to Benjamin and then to Dia, Grace swooped in for another attempted to take the quaffle.

Stealing the ball from the younger girl, Grace made her move. Speeding off down the field. She figured she could hang onto it so she kept pushing forward. Hopefully she'd keep a firm hold on the ball long enough to get some points on the board.
