"Hey." She greeted both her new Captain and... the new... flying instructor.

Who happened to be Colin MacKenzie.

Dear MERLIN.

What? She was cool. Nothing to see here.

Holding her beloved Thunderbolt 6000, the sixth year spotted other fellow Gryffindors already there, so she moved to stand next to them. "Hi." She also greeted them, but this time she offered both Tessa and Jo, her former teammates who didn't hate her - woop! - a warm smile. "This feels kind of weird." She whispered to them, looking around as students from different houses gathered together for the tryout.

When Anna arrived, Tessa grinned at her old Captain. Captain to her last term, though not the year before that. "Yeah, I bet," she said with a grimace. She couldn't imagine being in Anna's position - previously Captain and sure that she would continue to be Captain until she graduated. It must suuuuuuuuuck. Unless that's not what she meant. She could have been talking about the very different set-up for tryouts. If so......... "All the houses trying out together is weird." Nice save, Tess. Nice save.

Despite her best efforts (read: she didn't try that hard), she couldn't stop the competitive thoughts bubbling up. She really wanted to be on the team. Anna had been a Captain for Merlin's sake. Now, she knew that didn't guarantee anything, but it did add extra pressure. Maybe that was a good thing, though. A little healthy competition was good.....motivating, even. Yeah! It was a good thing. And even though Jó was younger than her, it didn't mean he would be worse than her. She needed to fight for her place on this team. As much as she wanted all her housemates to succeed, she wanted to success more!

Tessa's (friendly) game face was ON.
