She'd already done the hardest part of this entire tryout session; showing up. After the last term, she hadn't been sure she even wanted to try out again but as it turned out, it was in her best interest to have some form of physical outlet. Running was already on the agenda and quidditch happened to be high on physical demand too. In the end, she stood to gain more from trying out than she did from sitting in the stands during games, cheering for her friends.

Jessa walked alongside her broom, having tinkered with it just a bit to have it fly along next to her. Of course, she'd remove it before tryouts to ensure nothing was deemed foul play or anything but the Ravenclaw seldom gave up a chance to mess with anything she could get her hands on.

"Hey Kirk. Decent day for flying, yeah?" By decent, she meant at least it wasn't raining. Nothing like the crisp cold rain air and the drops of water impairing your vision to make you decide the outside really wasn't for you.

The others, she assumed would be along any minute so for now she set about returning her broom to normal. With a steady wave, the broom fell from the air, with a slight bounce here and there before coming to a complete stop.

There. Just like everyone else's again.

This was a big old stupid idea, and she was only doing it for Char and Callum to be proud of her... and because maybe Ravenclaw needed someone like her and she didn't know she was actually super amazing... sigh. But here she aws. Chloe propped up her school broom against her hip and gave both Prefect Jessa and Captain Kirk her best defiant look.

Considering she had pom-poms on her pigtails and she was wearing rainbow tights... it wasn't terrifying at all. "Hullo, Mountain Man. Can I just opt out of Beating right from the start? Also I think we should check the braking charms on this broom. It seems questionable at best. Can I have a good luck hug? Do I get bonus points for being first? I mean, Prefect Jessa is first, but she doens't count because she's got to be here first." Breathing is key, Kettleburn. Try it occasionally.

She took a deep breath, okay maybe five deep breaths, before stepping on the pitch. This was a big deal, a HUGE deal. Chloe knew she was only a first year and first years only made the team when they were really amazingly good. So what if she didn't make it and wasn't good? Well, she would just try again next term, she knew she would be great for them if added, but knew she had to prove herself.

She clutched a school broom close to her chest and held it tightly. How she wished it was her own broom, but this was going to have to do, Merlin please let the thing be alright, she had heard rumors of those brooms. As she moved closer to the others in the group she gave them all a nervous smile.

"He..hello, am I late?" Had she missed the tryouts? Looking at her watch she felt a little relief seeing she wasn't late, but now she wanted to get on her broom and get started to get the nervous feeling out of her.

After last year, Rhea had no doubt in her mind about trying out. Quidditch had become an unexpected joy in her life and joys like that, for her, were few and far between. Not only had it given her a physical outlet for everything she was dealing with, it had also given her a sense of team spirit and all that, which was not something she'd have actively perused otherwise. In fact, she'd become proud of her place on the team and was absolutely determined to keep it.

Rhea rolled up to the Quidditch pitch, school-broom in tow, and gave Kirk a nod. By now he was familiar with her lack of speaking - she'd only speak when it was necessary, usually. "Hey," she greeted everyone else. Jessa got a smile from her and that was it. There were a few new faces that she didn't recognise, i.e. more competition, but she wasn't worried. She knew she was good enough. 'Least that was what she was telling herself. She couldn't doubt herself now.

The sooner they got started, the better.

❅ Purple Lightsaber ❅| | Captain Sarcastic |

Nerves of trying out from last term had returned this morning as she was getting ready for tryouts. The first thing she had done this morning was go for a run, that helped out some with the nerves. She had busied herself with polishing her broom and even her bat. Which she had one in each hand as she walked to pitch. A water bottle tucked into her elbow. It seemed like a lot of stuff to be carrying down to try out. Hopefully Kirk didn’t mind that she bought her own bat for tryouts. During the season she had gotten used to using her bat now and doubted that would be a issue with the captain.

As she headed into the middle of the pitch and joined the others that were already there. WIth a nod and quick grin to the others. ”Hey.” Before dropping her water bottle on the ground and sticking her bat into the spot where she had been holding the water bottle she laid her broom down on the ground and waited for Captain Kirk to get the tryouts started.

She could not wait to see how the tryout went. She looked around and seen both old and new faces on the pitch. She took a deep breath. Just like last term she was just going to roll with it, at least she knew she wouldn’t have to worry about dropping her bat like she did during last terms tryout. That did help her feel more confident for this terms tryout.

Carrying the school broom that he'd borrowed onto the pitch, he walked slowly to the crown of people that were gathering, ready for the Quidditch tryouts. "Hey" he shouted, as a way of greeting them all as he reached them, nerved beginning to build. He wasn't a nervous person. Often. He never got stage fright. Rarely. So why did this feel different.

Taking a deep breath, he waited for the Quidditch captain to arrive. Kirk, was it? Hand gripped tightly around broom, he waited. He was pretty certain that he wouldn't make the team this year. After all, *looking around, worriedly* everyone else actually knew the rules! He hadn't actually seen a game, let alone placed a game! But one thing he did know... He was a quick learner and once he picked something up, there was no stopping him!

This year was going to be different for sure, in a good way, he could feel it. Captain Kirk essentially had the bar to set from last year, having snuck 2nd place in the Quidditch Cup, the only place to go was up.. Yes, pun intended. He formed up some plans during the summer and couldn't wait to use them this year. Once he showed up at the Quidditch with his trusty Andromeda 2100 in one arm, the chest and other assortments in the other. He then placed the Quidditch chest and other assortments on the ground.

Kirk didn't have to wait long before familiar faces and not so familiar faces together showed up. He was pleased at the sight. "Hey Jessa." Decent day for flying, it was. "Sure is, the stars didn't show any upcoming bad weather for today." Followed by Chloe. He nearly blinked at the questions, she must be nervous he deduced. "S' Fine with me, it's all about playing your strengths today." He could make out the younger ah, yes first years arriving. "You're just in time." He smiled kindly, before giving his fellow sevvie a sup nod. "Hey Rhea." They shared the same comfort on speaking only when necessary. Ahh and there was another one arriving. "Hey Juni." Kirk noticed she came prepared, oh, and she brought her own bat. Good, good, that left more bats for back-up just in case. Ahh, there was another first year, he recognized this young guy. "Hey, welcome." Kirk smiled just as kindly at him.

Kirk waited on the others to settle in before, realising the time, "Well then, welcome to Tryouts everyone. Now as expected, just because you were on last year's team doesn't guarantee an automatic placement for this year. But enough of that, we'll be going through all the positions possible just incase might find yourselves playing better in a different position than desired." Think that about covered it. "The stars last night showed promise for today, so I've no doubt you guys will give it your all. So first let's start with some stretches and movements to get your limbs loose and shake those nerves then we can get to flying." Sounds good, eh? "When you're ready.. GO!" Kirk first began with circling and pressing his arms close to his chest to get a few pops going.

OOC: Hey guys, we're gonna start off with doing stretches and any exercises your character feels comfortable with to start off.

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Nettie didn't usually get nervous - but here she was, holding a school broom and practically shaking in her Quidditch clothes. It didn't help that Kirk, the Quidditch captain, was SUPERRRRR GORG and very distracting. It was making her extra anxious. What if she embarrassed herself in front of him and didn't make the team?!

Still, she had to remind herself as she walked onto the pitch that she had experience, which would hopefully give her a leg up on her classmates. She smiled at each of them as she walked into the pitch. "Hello!" she greeted them - and just in time too, it appeared. No sooner than she walked up did Kirk also showed up, talking about the stars and all that, just as he had at the feast. Huh. So he was like REALLY in to Astronomy then?

Stretching. Got it. Easy enough. She took a deep breath and mimicked the captain's motions as she got started. She knew she would feel better once she was actually up in the air.

It never surprised her when Kirk began talking about the stars. All the years of knowing him, you'd think him an honorary centaur by now--and maybe that was what he was going for. At this point, there was very little that could effectively surprise her.

Jessa nodded her understanding, just as Chloe then smaller Chloe made their appearances. Both got smiles--and certainly understanding where older!Chloe's hesitation about beating was concerned. It had the potential to be terrifying stuff. Next to roll in, her teammates from the previous season. Both Juni and Rhea got waves as they approached. This year, she found herself less preoccupied with how focused she remained. Now that she more or less knew what to expect, she wasn't in as much danger of crawling out of her skin and running back to the castle.

And rounding it off, more new recruits. It was looking like a promising year....y'know, if she actually cared about that stuff. This was and would always been an extra curric for her. Something to keep her occupied when other things could not.

But right! Stretches! Systematically Jessa began working her muscles. The 16 year old started first with the ones in her shoulders, rotating them this way and that....then the ones in her arms pulling them until the muscles began to feel a little looser. Her legs were her next target. The Ravenclaw pulled her left knee up to her chest followed by the right, hugging each tightly while she worked the muscles there.

A proper stretch was important. She'd never had to learn that the hard way as she was seldom physical but she had learned all the same.

Jessa extended her legs and pulled at the tips to give her calves a good stretch. That done, she began a light job in place to aid a bit with circulation.

Yep, had to get in some good stretching now. It wasn't to say she was il-prepared to suffer any consequences but rather, why would she went they were preventable?

More people were coming after her so she knew she wasn't late. This made her breath a little easier and once she was calm her talking was bound to start, but someone looking nervous caught her attention, "Ewen, over here. You can stretch with me." She gave the boy a smile, she had talked to him a few times so she figured brooms might scare him, but look how brave he was for even trying out.

"So Captain sir, how does this all work. I mean do we tell you what positions we play in rec leagues or what we want or do you have us try them all?" She looked towards Ewen again, 'Mom was a beater on her house team and dad was a chaser for this very team, but I'm a seeker like my Uncle Alec Summers." Yep, she'd throw that in as well.

Sitting down her borrowed school broom she reached down and touched her toes to stretch out her legs. "What is everyone's favorite position?" Was there other seekers there? She figured there had to be unless they graduated the last term, oh maybe they did and she'd be the only one. Could she actually make the team as the first year? This gave her excitement and a nervous shock.

She felt a pull on the back of her legs that told her she might have been in this position and stretching a bit too long. So she stood up again and started to stretch her arms.

Captain Kirk certainly was an intimidating sight. I mean, for a first year, Ewan was tall. I mean, for his age, 5 ft 4 was tall! But Kirk couldn’t be far off 6ft. Ewan listened carefully, ready to start. Stretches? Hmm.. I can do that. Briefly, he introduced himself to Kirk before turning to continue with his instructions.

As he turned, he heard a familiar voice beckon him over. “Hey Chloe” giving her a small smile and wave, he walked over to her and started to stretch, a faint burn running down the backs of his legs. “Honestly, I’m not really sure where I’m going to play. I just thought it would be a good chance to have a go! I mean, from what I’ve read, I don’t think seeker is for me. I mean look at me!” Chuckling now as he gestured up and down his body. “They need to be a little more... agile? Maybe keeper or beater would suit me more.”. Slowly, he sat down on the soft grass, his legs out stretched in front of him. One by one, he went through his usual stretches. This wasn’t new to him, after all, he’d played so much sport back him it was something that came naturally. Stretching forward now, he grabbed his toes with ease. Mentally went through the importance of good stretching, after all, he didn’t want to get injured and pull a muscle.

*Starts chuckling*


Like pulling a muscle is his biggest worry. How about staying on a broom?!! “So... I’m guessing you play quite a bit then back home?” Seekers were important, were they not? With a new appreciation, he looked up at the girl now from the floor. Despite her name dropping some famous Quidditch player, he was impressed. Playing a lot of sport back home, he’d often admire other people who could play to a high level.

Rhea was not about to be beaten out (haha, get it? jk. seriously, tho) by a bunch of first years.

She knew she could successfully fill one of the Beater positions because she'd already done it. It unnerved her to see so many new faces but she needed to remind herself that she had the upper hand in several ways. Firstly, experience. She was bound to have more experience than some of the younger ones. Secondly, height. Size was something very important in Quidditch. If you were smaller, sure you could be faster and better at delicate manoeuvres, but being bigger had its advantages, too. Longer reach as a Keeper and more mass guarding the hoops. And it certainly helped for Beaters to seem more intimidating, and with size came strength. Which she had. As well as a generally intimidating manner. Oh well. Lastly, talent. She knew she had enough of it and that was what really mattered.

Rhea thought about all of this as she stretched, trying to get into the perfect mindset for tryouts. She roooooolled her shoulders, arching her neck and getting all the kinks out. Then she swung her arms back and forth, getting the blood flowing and loosening the muscles. She needed her arms to be ready for what Beating required of them. She definitely didn't want to pull a muscle. Rhea then moved on to some leg stretches before finishing with some more arm warm-ups. She then jogged on the spot to keep warm while she waited for further instructions.

Also, in response to the girl's (Chloe) question, Rhea replied just so she wouldn't appear rude. After all, the girl could be her future team mate and then she would have to get to know her more. "Beater." Keeper or Chaser were possibilities, as well, but she was almost entirely focused on keeping her position as Beater.

Her Chloe was trying out? This was really exciting, Also Juni was glad to see Jessa and Rhea both at tryouts again. Even though they wasn’t guaranteed a spot on this terms team. What just meant that she would have to work harder. The competition looked tougher than last time too. Even with some of them being first years.


And now the tryout were starting. To her relief she started out doing some toe touches and windmills. Those were the go to strenches starting off. Now to answer little Chloe’s question. ”I like playing Beater. It’s pretty fun.” She nodded at the girl. Now to the older Chloe she done stretch lunges over to her and stood next to her and kept up with the stretching.

Oh, thank MERLIN that Juni was there, because Chloe wasn't sure what Quidditch stretching looked like. She'd tried emulating Jessa, but the older girl was moving fast and by the time Chloe mastered a stretch, Jessa moved onto something new. With Juni there, Chloe switched to energetically lunging. Just like her best Juni.

If Chloe could do anything, she could do it energetically.

"Chaser?" Her eyes cut to Juni, just to see if that was a reasonable thing for a fifth year starting only just now to try for. Even Reserve would be acceptable, as long as she got to do practices with everyone. Wouldn't that be so super fun? Everyone flying together? Playing Quidditch?

Chloe paused in her lunges and resumed stretching her arms and shoulders. Did this actually help? Or was it just another way for Captain Kirk to tell who belonged?

Kirk had made sure to give any recent joiners the sup nod. Nope, it wasn't too late. Little Chloe had some questions, "That's awesome, Chloe. We'll be doing some sequences that involve working as a Beater, Chaser and Seeker. If you wish to stick with one position during the tryout that's perfectly fine." That was pretty cool though, to hear her family's history with the sport. He only had two of his Uncles that were deep into Quidditch. "I play as Keeper so that position won't be as incorporated. " That was noted in the flyers, right? Anyway, how were these positions going to be incorporated? Well, they would find out soon. It seemed traditional to keep a little bit of mystery until then.

After giving the command to do stretches he did a few leg stretches, back twists, squats, planks, a few push ups and neck rolls. Took only a few more minutes before he felt good to go. Everyone seemed to be quite comfortable around each other, this definitely would make their chances higher to win the Cup with such unity displayed. "Great job, guys." Now then, "Alright, so now that we're loose let's get steady onto the brooms, we'll be doing some flying around the pitch. You can go in either clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Just like last year Mister Baldvinsson did put a limit to the height though so you can't fly off from here." Not that he could imagine anyone wanting to do that during a try-out, but hey, precautions.

"So I will set the timer and you'll be flying around for a few minutes at the sound of my whistle. As soon as you hear it again you'll know to fly back down toward the middle where we will make the use of the Quidditch balls. Now let's get to flying." Polishing off the new whistle Kirk got, he gave them a few moments to mount their brooms. "On my whistle, you can kick off.. Three.. Two... One.."

*TWEEET*

OOC: Weeeee, Part two! Alright, now you can fly around the pitch clockwise or counter-clockwise. The Quidditch pitch is estimated to be 500x80 feet, give or take incase you need the vision. There's no limit to how many laps you do, so long as you remain in the air. One post should suffice, but you're welcome to post as many times, just be sure to label them either way. Next post will be in at least 24 hours from this.

Jumping up from the floor, he walked over to the ancient wooden broom he'd borrowed from the school. If he did make the team, he'd most certainly have to buy a new broom! Turning now, Ewan smiled at Chloe before wishing her good luck. Breathing in and out, he slowly stepped over his broom before finally sitting on it in a comfy position. Finally, when the loud whistle blow came from the Capt, one last prayer was made to the flying god before finally, he pushed off the floor, His stomach somewhere back on the ground.

"Ahahahahaha! Okay... so this wasn't the noise he'd intended to make but he was actually flying! He'd done it! In all honesty, he wasn't flying fast but he at least off the ground. And besides, the ground looked rather hard from up here. Flying clockwise now, he slowly started to pick up a bit of speed. Around once, then twice, three times... He kept going, getting better and better with each lap. It wasn't long before he felt right at home up here! and then it was over. The second whistle could be heard above all the chatter from the other children. Slowly, unsure of how to fly down to the ground, he inched forward on the broom. Inch by inch, he reached the ground, his broom vibrating less and less as he made his way closer to the centre of the pitch.

Juni just kept grinning as she stretched out with her Chloe. She was so glad that her friend was also trying out. She caught Chlo looking as her asking about chaser, ”That’s good. I beat you will do good with it.” It would be pretty fun if her and her friend could be beaters together though. But she knew that her friend wasn’t really all about being a beater.

She should probably do something to stretch out her upper arms next, besides windmills. She grabbed her wrist and pulled her arm toward her a few times then did the same thing with the other arm. She got down to do a few push-ups too. She didn’t want to wear herself out stretching. So when Captain Kirk stopped and announced that they were moving on to getting on their brooms and flying around. Juni was glad… mostly because she didn’t have to figure out what to do next with the stretching.

The fifth year stood up and moved over beside of her broom. She mounted her broom. As soon as she heard the whistle she took off into the sky. She got around to three laps before she flew past Ewen. ”You getting the hang of it?” Even though Juni had been flying way before she was in her first year she couldn’t imagine tryingout as a first year. But kuddos to the first years that were there today. Brave souls they were.

Nettie looked at Chloe with a grin when she asked them what positions they played. "I play seeker too!" she said with excitement, not really registering at the moment that that likely meant one of them would be assigned to something else - or nothing at all. Instead, she turned her attention back to Kirk, following his lead carefully as he finished their stretches and then explained what they would be doing next.

Flying laps? Sounded easy enough! Taking the school broom she had borrowed, she swung her leg over it and mounted, pushing off the ground with ease and hovering above the ground for a few moments to get a feel from the broom. It felt NOTHING like her Firebolt at home, but it would do. She was tiny enough that she could make just about any broom work for her, even if it was big and bulky - she just flew low and close to the handle, making it easier to move.

She rose a bit higher, following Ewan and Juni as they rose up the pitch. She turned and decided to head clockwise, smiling a bit to herself as she felt the wind in her short blonde hair. After a few moments, the broom was starting to feel more comfortable to her. In fact, this was kind of relaxing!

FINALLY. Chloe fell out of her lunging and scooped up her broom, giving Kirk a sunny smile as thanks for ending her misery. All her muscles were plenty limber by now, and she was eager to get moving. The school broom was new to her, so Chloe tucked the handle against her chin as she stepped back from the group. "You'll do real good, okay? We're gonna fly for a while, and everyone will be proud of you. I know you're a good broom, so you don't have to do anything except listen to me, and everything will be fine."

Some of that pep talk was for herself, probably. Chloe mounted her broom and took off in a smooth movement, her smile going ridiculously wide again when the broom performed exactly as requested. Good broom. Very very good broom. She moved slowly as she and the broom acclimated to each other, taking a few wide and easy turns. It pulled just slightly to the right, but not enough to impede her flight.

NOW FOR FAST. Trusting the broom to do its job, Chloe could be trusted to do hers. She leaned forward, zipping up into formation with the rest of the fliers going clockwise. One lap down, then the second with her head down and her elbows tucked, but by the third, Chloe was paying attention to those around her. "Race ya," she shouted at Juni as she passed her on the left.

Another Seeker? Well, this might get interesting, though it would be fun too. She had never thought about playing another position, she'd only ever want to play seeker. Not wanting to show she worried at all about this she just gave the other girl a smile as well as everyone who answered her question. "That's so cool! I hope we all make it!" Was there too many for them all to make it? She sure hoped not, but she'd keep positive for everyone.

Soon it was time to get on the brooms and she was on hers quickly then you could blink. As she went to lift off though Ewan made her head twist to look at him. "You okay?" Maybe she could try to catch him, but she was sure she'd drop him, so hopefully, their captain could catch him in a hurry.

Lifting off she smiled big, it wasn't her broom, but it would do. "If we make the team do they let first years have their own broom or do they have to use the schools for the entire season?" Not that she wouldn't use it, but she really wanted her own broom at that moment. She really wanted to show what she was made of and this broom wasn't going to allow it.

Leaning forward she went clockwise and was flying around nicely until she heard race, "I want to join, I want to race!"

The older girls wouldn't mind, would they?

At the sound of the first whistle, Rhea kicked off from the ground and flew steadily through her first lap. Laps were nothing new to her. This was just a further warm up for her. She slowly increased in speed the more laps she did, showing her skill on the corners, which was something she'd been mastering over the summer - sharper turns. Not too sharp here though 'cause they were doing laps. She'd have chance to show off her skills later she was sure.

About one minute in, Rhea changed direction, switching from clockwise to counter-clockwise. Just 'cause she could. She weaved in between two of the younger 'claws and flashed them grins as she flew past. Aaaaaand then she switched directions again for her next lap. Finally, she attempted to let go of her inhibitions during the last couple of laps and enjoy herself as she flew around the pitch, even low-key joining in with the others' race. How very unlike herself.

*TWEET*

And that was her cue to fly back to the ground.

She did so with ease, landing softly in the centre of the pitch.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Right, she remembered this next part being there for tryouts too. Just flying some laps. Last term she hadn't been too sure about it, staying closer to the ground and trying not to hit into anyone--which was pretty easy considering she'd opted not to go fast but y'know. For a moment, Jessa considered doing the same again. It wasn't an actual race and the point was to get some flying in. If she only finished two or so laps while everyone else finished ten...it might not have been the worst thing...yeah?

But no.

After the previous term where practices found her doing a lot more flying than she'd ever thought she'd be doing, there was a certain speed below which she didn't think she'd be comfortable flying.

Once you got used to it, snail flying across the pitch was just painful so the Ravenclaw took it at not quite game speed but a fast enough speed to send the crisp Scottish air hammering across her face. What a day to leave her inhaler. If the brisk air became too much of a problem when thrown at her so quickly, she would stop and do the appropriate charms.

One lap. Two laps. Three laps. The height limit didn't bother her, in fact, Jessa kept somewhere near the middle of that restriction, so in the zone that she hadn't bothered to stop to talk to anyone. That was kinda part of the focus....and also because she didn't necessarily view quidditch as a social event per say. This was one of the last places she would think to build and make friendships.

Four laps. Would she go for a fifth? Was this enough?

So there they went, flying.. It was strange standing by watching them go around and around without himself up there as well. But this helped him see their outlines and flying styles. Things were looking good, even the first years were doing well enough. Ewan had a little shaky start, but he chalked it up to nerves since he recovered so quickly with Chloe ready to help. That was cool. It would be awkward sending one off the pitch this early. Before Kirk knew it, his timer started beeping. It was time for the next part.

*TWEEET*

Kirk waited before everyone touched back down near the middle before he continued, "Great flying everyone! Okay, now let's get to the sequences." He kicked open the trunk to reveal balls strapped inside. They looked familiar to those who played last year. "So we'll be using these charmed bouncing balls. They'll be flying around as soon as I release them. Aspiring Beaters, you can grab a bat here if you don't have one with you, as you'll be trying to smack them away from yourself and others. Those wanting to be Chasers or Seekers right now you can use a bat too if you wish, otherwise focus on trying to dodge or catch the balls before tossing them away." Sounded good, eh?

And while they got themselves situated with the next task, Kirk grabbed himself a bat as well. Merlin knew he wouldn't be immune to these soon to be rogue balls. "Alright guys, you ready?" Juuust one last moment for them to prepare. "On my whistle.. three.... two... one.."

*TWEEET*

As soon as Kirk released the straps, the charmed balls went flying with the others.

---
OOC: Part 3! Wooh! So this time try to play keep away with the charmed balls. Beaters can smack them away, Chasers & Seekers can dodge or try to catch and throw away. It's up to your charrie how many, just be sure to label all posts if you do multiple. I'll give you guys 48-72 hours from this post before the next part.

Trinetta heard the loud TWEET of Kirk's whistle and slowly made her way down to him, listening to the next part of the tryouts that he wanted them to perform. So the beaters were going to be aiming for them - and they had to dodge or stop the balls? Sounded easy enough! Seekers always had to be on the lookout for those pesky bludgers! Although she WAS sort of tempted to try her hand at beating, and pick up one of those bats herself - no, she would focus on being seeker.

So, she rose in the air, gripping the school broom and waiting for the beaters to get going, preparing to dodge or stop whatever came her way!
