Upon arrival at the pitch, Teagan had been glad to see her fellow returning candidates, even if she inwardly felt bad for the past few terms when she’d chosen not to try out. Hopefully that wouldn’t count too much against her, and she could slot back in easily. Plus, seeing so many first years amongst the hopefuls made her remember when she had tried out as a first year herself, with barely any exposure to the sport and Professor Adara had seen enough to trust her as a reserve. Seven years later, she was back and hopefully things would be just as positive.

Kicking off from the ground after some light stretching and acknowledgment of Professor Cloggs, she’d given her fellow Slytherins and the others a nod as she flew some circles and tried a few tricks, both ones she remembered from previously and the occasional insert from her other athletic activities, while also trying to stay clear of the baskets suspended in the air with her. It was fascinating to see what tricks she could do on a broomstick that she also could perform on her skateboard.

It was sooner than she’d expected that the professor had blown his whistle again, and she returned to the center of the pitch with the others, listening intently to the explanation given for the next activity. It seemed rather like the crests were acting as a load of snitches, rather, but she figured it couldn’t be too difficult if they worked together. Or not. Either possibility was as valid as the other when it came to the current group of hopefuls. She’d let them come to her if they wanted to team up, be it her housemates or the others.

In the meantime, she let her eyes zero in on a specific crest zipping around near her and let her broom get to speed, switching direction as the crest attempted an evasion. “No you don’t”, she said under her breath, executing a perfect barrel roll to confuse said crest before reaching out and grabbing it. Teal. Okay, she could work with that, given there was a teal basket floating nearby. On her way there, she let her eyes pick out her next target before depositing the first into the basket neatly, swatting it back down as it tried to sneak back out before she got too far away. Inconvenience didn’t really work with her goals after all, and she continued her path toward the second chosen crest once the first fell, stunned, back into the basket.

Time to catch another.
