Just like last year when she had tried out for Quidditch, Beatrice was nervous. And maybe it was weird that she wasn't trying out for that sport again, she wasn't sure, but hopefully it would be fine. Quidditch had been fun, and it was so, so, SO cool that her house had won the cup and everything. Even though she was just a reserve and hadn't played very much in any actual games, so she wasn't sure she could actually take credit for any of it.

But Quidditch had also been lowkey terrifying too sometimes. And she wasn't sure she wanted to do it all again.

So she was here. Not that there was a requirement to do one sport if you weren't doing the other one, but... Well, it was sorta a self-imposed requirement. Maybe she'd be terrible and not make the team at all, in which case, maybe sports weren't her thing, and she'd have to find something else. But nonetheless... she wanted to give it a try.

She'd been shifting her weight nervously from foot to foot while waiting, and it was a relief when they were finally allowed in by Professor Menon. There would still be some waiting for her turn, but at least now there were others taking their turns ahead of her, so she had something to focus on besides her nerves.

Bea watched intently as Rajan, her housemate Miguel, Harvey, and then Saina each took their turn. Which...then meant it was her turn.

Eep.

She peered into the chest of marbles and, after a brief pause, selected a bright yellow marble. The professor had said the appearance wouldn't affect anything, but it was a little bit important to her. Maybe, since it was one of her house colors, it would be lucky.

Then she stepped up to the designated line and released her marble, just hoping it would hit at least one.
