Do you have a knack for flying? Would you like to be on a team with some of the most talented students in school? Are you a member of Slytherin House? If any of these apply to you, you have come to the right place.

Are you simply curious to see who will make the cut and represent Slytherin in the Quidditch Cup? Then by all means, join in from the comforts of the Stands.

The Slytherin Captain, Skylar Diggory (PhoenixRising), will guide you through this tryout. Best of luck!

so this was happening, really. It, this, all of it was going to be fun. Sure, maybe this wasn’t the best idea seeing as she wasn’t known for having the best judgement all the time. Still, even if she were the only girl in her dorm to tryout she was doing this. Quinn and Lil even knew about her fascination with Beaters…or more smacking things with bats. Really, she was even completely into Cricket and that didn’t always entertain her.

not like quidditch.

Walking over to the field after collecting one of the spare brooms from the broom shed she waited, excitedly, nervously. ”Hey,” she smiled to every one of the classmates around her as ran her hand up to her plaited hair. Smooth, clean…this was going to be a mess once she was done.

It was so surreal being back at tryouts, because only a year prior Kye had really gotten used to flying. She hadn't even gotten her broom yet! Here she was, getting a flashback of the feeling of victory last season, ready to do it again. She walked towards the pitch with broom in hand, and smiled at the much younger girl who was already here. "Hi!" Kye returned the greeting. She found a nice spot in the grass and started stretching. It was good to be back.

So this was it. His moment to show his housemates that he was not a slacker and has a bit of talent to his name. Nathan brought a new broom in the summer, just for this occasion. There was no rule he couldn't bring his own race broom to the try-outs, right?

When he came out of his dorm earlier, everyone was shocked to see him in his full Quidditch practice gear. It seemed no one expected him to try-out this term, mostly because he had never outspokenly or shown his interest in Quidditch outside his /social/ circle. People kept whispering behind his back but he couldn't care less what they think. All he could think about was he needed to concentrate during his turn to showcase his seeker abilities.

Nathan had been practising hard over the summer up to this very moment. He walked up to the field, feeling determined and slightly on edge. He knew who was his rival up ahead. Hmm, where was Fairfield anyway? Looking around, he gave his acknowledging nod towards the girls. "Hey."

Skylar was up flying when the potential teammates started arriving. Which is to say that she was flying to get things situated for tryouts. Things that would be revealed in due time, but for now, she'd perfected her disillusionment charm on what she was prepping in the skies on the Quidditch Pitch.

The seventeen year old glanced down at her wristwatch only to realize she was officially LATE with what time she'd said she would be on the pitch to await the players. And by late for her, it meant she was ten minutes early for the tryout start time, instead of fifteen minutes.

A quick glance at her charms told her things were in working order as she flew down to the ground where three potentials were waiting; Nathan Hale, Kye Atwater, and new first year Beth Greyvson. Nathan ... yes, she'd heard all about him wanting to tryout. Vivian had been ranting and raving about it for a couple weeks now, something that Skylar had TRIED to console the best friend in saying he was kidding. He was just trying to intimidate her. Wasn't he? But as evident by his appearance here with a shiny new broom, perhaps he wasn't?? Why was he doing this again? He didn't show any interest at all in Quidditch last year? Perhaps his keeper girlfriend had talked him into it? But why seeker? He knew Vivian had one more year left at Hogwarts...

"Kye! Hey," she greeted of the roommate and veteran player first, before her gaze glanced over towards the other two. "Beth. Welcome!" She wondered slightly on the girl's abilities, but figured she'd be able to see that in just a short while. And finally, she turned towards Nathan. "Nathan. So it's true then?" She said curtly, looking him up and down, sighing.

"Let's start by setting your brooms down and doing some arm circles while we wait for more to arrive," she said, demonstrating for them with some large and small circles.



ooc: we'll begin shortly (probably about 24 hours). Reminder, if you wish to be considered for the team, you must complete the survey and post in tryouts at least once before May 18th. Being on the team last term is no guarantee for this term. The following team positions are available: 1 keeper, 1 beater, 3 chasers, 1 seeker, and 3 reserves. So if your character really only wants one position and it gets filled by someone else, there's no shame in saying they can be a 'reserve beater' or a 'reserve seeker'. Even though we won't actually be specifying individual reserve positions, this can be something discussed IC with the Slytherin Captain. Any questions, ask me or the Flying Official.

Junia slipped into the group quickly and quietly as the directions were given, setting her broom down beside her and flashing the others a smile. As she slowly rotated her arms, first clockwise and then counterclockwise, the seventh year took a moment to let the fact that this was the last year of tryouts she'd ever have sink in. It was another thing she'd add to her list. Another last time. It was bittersweet. It was.

Lydia couldn't quite believe she was doing this. She'd never been all that interested in Muggle sports. However, the idea of flying around on a broom was actually quite enticing, if she managed not to fall off and crack her silly skull open. Before coming to Hogwarts, she'd obviously never heard of Quidditch at all, but she'd done a bit of research into the sport in the library and asked around as well. Of all the positions, she thought she was best suited for Seeker. Her build was slight, and she was quick and agile rather than strong.

Lydia caught a glimpse of Beth on the field as well and felt relieved. At least she wasn't the only 1st year here. Retrieving a spare broom from the shed, Lydia walked out onto the field and took a deep breath. This may be the craziest thing she'd done yet at Hogwarts, but she was determined to try as many new things as possible while she was here. No one would ever accuse her of being a wilting wallflower!

Nathan turned his head to the captain and simply nod. "Yeah...surprise to see me, Captain?" Of course judging from the way she was staring at him up and down, he was convinced Skylar wasn't exactly expecting him out of all people to be here. It was true. Nathan hadn't been completely honest about himself when it comes to Quidditch, the one sport which he truly loves...in secret. After watching his girlfriend played keeper and her team won the Quidditch cup last term, his desire to feel included intensified.

Vivian probably went on a ranting explosion about his decision to try-out for the team seeker position. She went completely mental on him when he told her about it. But, it was a decision he had never been more sure about anything in his life. Nathan did feel a little bad afterward. If they could just give him a chance, he knew he could make a great addition to the team.

He put down his broom by his side and started following Skylar's exercise routine. Rotating his arms like a /good/ listener he was.

Tardiness was not in Vivian's dictionary. She was just making sure she had everything settled to beat Nathan's bum for tryouts. But she was here, of course, and the Head Girl went over to join her fellow Slytherin with her hair tied in a neat braid. It wouldn't be as neat after tryouts, she was sure, given the amount of competition there was. Tardiness may not have been a word in her vocabulary, but determination was.

Despite her never-ending rants to Skylar since they got to Hogwarts and even during the summer, Vivian showed little physical sign of annoyance when she saw Nathan. She knew that boy was nothing short of trouble, but the blond was not going to focus on that. She was here to prove her position, to keep it. It was her last year, after all. "Good day, captain," she greeted Sky with a wink. "Hey, everyone." Nobody in particular since she was in the Quidditch-ing mood. She had been working with her auntie's team seeker during the summer. It had perks, you know?

Settling her broom down, Vivian followed Sky's lead and did arm circles. Not like she did her own stretching before coming here, but still.

Beth wanted to fly right now but sadly, she had to wait. Ugh, this was annoying. Still, she was relieved to see Lydia was there with her – setting her broom down she sidled closer to her year mate. ”what position are you going for?” she asked excitedly before returning her attention to Captain Skylar…gosh, Ravenclaw was just lucky with the captains’ name now weren’t they?

”you’ve got it Cap’” Beth even took a moment to salute her before joining Nathan and the others in the described exercise routine. Round and round in circles, she was rotating her arms and feeling it in such a good way.

Merlin, she loved sports…even if she never told people that.

As others began to arrive, Kye greeted each in turn. Nathan was indeed a surprise. She tilted her head at the sight of him, but as she didn't know he was going for Seeker, she returned the "Hello." Smiles for everyone else, a wave at Vivi, and she got up to do the Captain's stretches. She gave a small laugh when she remembered doing these at the try out last year and how much her back and shoulder had cracked. She had learned to get the proper stretches in since then of course!

"Hi Beth," said Lydia, still twirling her arms. "I'm gonna try for Seeker. It's the only position I think I might be good at. I'm not super strong or athletic, you know?"

Lydia took some deep breaths, practicing her breathing. It was also a good way to calm her nerves. She really hoped she wasn't about to make a huge fool of herself in front of everyone!

"What position are you trying out for? Did you do any sports back home?"

While continuing with his stretches,he turned to Kye. "What position are you going for, Kye?" he asked. Nathan noticed there were a few seventh years here as well. He wondered what prompt them to join this term.

And speaking of seventh years, Nathan spots Vivian at the corner of his eyes. He resisted the urge to say something snarky...for now. Head girl seemed determined to keep her position as seeker and he couldn't blame her. If he was in her shoes, he would do the same. They were both fiercely competitive and ...well...more. But that didn't mean, he wouldn't put up a fight for the same position. Get ready, Fairfield. He winked back just to add drama.

And oh, he overheard the girl (Lydia) was also pinning for the seeker position. Interesting...

More competition. Nice.

Did being late penalize his chances?

Not even going to try and hide the fact that yea he was a tad late since they were in the wide open and there was no point in sneaking, Ryder made his way over to the group of Slytherins on the pitch and set down his broom, standing to the side of most of them. Normally he didn't stretch beforehand, but maybe stretching those arm muscles would do him some good. Try to show off. Look bigger than he was. He was pumped!

"Sup."

She didn't know if this would be a great idea to join the team but here she was walking up to the Slytherin tryouts. She was really discouraged that she didn't make the team last term but failing the tryouts last year made her realize that she really want to work at being a better Quidditch play for this terms tryouts.

If she was more of a social butterfly she would have greeted everyone but maybe she would do that next year, this year she would focus on her classes, Quidditch and her socialization skills. Anastasie hates failing and hopefully this time around she wouldn't even dare to fail. Hopefully. The ginger took a deep breath in and slowly breathed out. She would do this! She knew she had it in her to do this. She worked her butt off all summer just to build her strength and flexibly but also to build her knowledge of the position she wanted to play, Keeper. Ana gave Skylar a wave as she set her broom down and began doing arm circles.

Vivian found it quite comforting to see her friends around, and she did manage to wave a bit at Kye because they were friends and dorm mates. That was a big deal, of course. The blond continued to do her arm circles, cracking her knuckles once in a while, and kept mostly to herself the entire time they were warming up. Seeing her boyfriend, however, was the best source of motivation in this horrendous day. Merlin, she didn't deserve Chase Keighley. She really didn't.

And because she was mostly quiet as she let her muscles ease up to the exercise, Vivian heard things. She made a side glance at another Slytherin who had mentioned her interest of becoming a Seeker too, and Vivian mentally sighed. She didn't want to go against a first year. She liked kids. It was a weakness she might have to control for this tryout.

Also, it was cute, okay?

She had also caught the wink from Nathan, but all Vivian did was stare for a good five seconds before looking away. She didn't need that distraction, and she most certainly wasn't in the mood to stick her tongue out at him.

Kye heard her name and turned towards Nathan "Funny enough, I originally went for Beater last year, but being a Chaser was SO exhilarating!" Kye tried not to get too loud, but ugh she was ready to get back on that broom! "I'm going for either Beater and Chaser, and I think I'd be equally happy with either." This was true. She would be excited to be chosen as a Chaser again because she knew she had been an asset last year, but if she got Beater, she would love telling the story of how she got to be multiple positions back in her day... Ew she didn't need to say that just yet though.

"What about you?" She asked him, expecting him to say Chaser... or maybe Seeker?

There she was!! For a moment, Skylar had thought that maybe Junia decided against playing for the team in her last year and on some level, she might not have blamed the roommate. But she also probably didn't realize that Junia probably needed the distraction, for reasons she had no idea about. Nonetheless, Skylar was pleased to see her. "Junia! You made it! Chaser, again, right?" Just by way of confirmation; the girl was stellar in the position and did do Under 17, but who knew, maybe she wanted to try something else?

Nathan hadn't been completely honest about himself when it comes to Quidditch, the one sport which he truly loves...in secret. After watching his girlfriend played keeper and her team won the Quidditch cup last term, his desire to feel included intensified.

Vivian probably went on a ranting explosion about his decision to try-out for the team seeker position. She went completely mental on him when he told her about it. But, it was a decision he had never been more sure about anything in his life. Nathan did feel a little bad afterward. If they could just give him a chance, he knew he could make a great addition to the team.

He put down his broom by his side and started following Skylar's exercise routine. Rotating his arms like a /good/ listener he was.
Skylar turned from the roommate back to the younger snake and shrugged. "Honestly? Yes. I thought you were kidding about trying out." Would it be wrong of her if she nonverbally cast a confundus charm on him once they started actually flying? She was quite sure she remembered reading that in some quidditch history she'd read ages ago, so surely it was only illegal if one got caught.

Or maybe she could get Apollo to do it from the stands. Might be less conspicuous that way. Her eyes made their way over to the boyfriend and she found herself making a subtle kissy face in his direction. Brief though, because hey, she was here to run a tryout. A last tryout.

Eyes back to Nathan. "Alyce okay?" Cause she hadn't seen her yet and she hoped she'd be alright to return as keeper and nothing detrimental happened.

It wouldn't be as neat after tryouts, she was sure, given the amount of competition there was. Tardiness may not have been a word in her vocabulary, but determination was.

Despite her never-ending rants to Skylar since they got to Hogwarts and even during the summer, Vivian showed little physical sign of annoyance when she saw Nathan. She knew that boy was nothing short of trouble, but the blond was not going to focus on that. She was here to prove her position, to keep it. It was her last year, after all. "Good day, captain," she greeted Sky with a wink. "Hey, everyone." Nobody in particular since she was in the Quidditch-ing mood. She had been working with her auntie's team seeker during the summer. It had perks, you know?

Settling her broom down, Vivian followed Sky's lead and did arm circles. Not like she did her own stretching before coming here, but still.
"Good day, Head Girl," she greeted back, grinning at the blond. She hoped she wasn't too nervous about these tryouts because even though she had competition for the seeking position that she didn't initially want, Skylar OBVIOUSLY was rooting for her again. Loyalties and all.

”you’ve got it Cap’” Beth even took a moment to salute her before joining Nathan and the others in the described exercise routine. Round and round in circles, she was rotating her arms and feeling it in such a good way.

Merlin, she loved sports…even if she never told people that.
She smiled at the 'Cap', deciding she rather liked that nickname, observing Beth and Lydia in their warmup and stretches. Saluting though? Unnecessary; she might have been a tad egotistical (what snake wasn't), but she also wasn't Flynn Kowalski. But she did give a nod of approval, regardless, at the stretches, side-stepping over towards the others on the pitch.

She gave a small laugh when she remembered doing these at the try out last year and how much her back and shoulder had cracked. She had learned to get the proper stretches in since then of course!
Another nod of approval at Kye, particularly when she didn't hear and cracking this time. "Good, good, i see you've been stretching over the summer," she winked at the roomie.

Before coming to Hogwarts, she'd obviously never heard of Quidditch at all, but she'd done a bit of research into the sport in the library and asked around as well. Of all the positions, she thought she was best suited for Seeker. Her build was slight, and she was quick and agile rather than strong.

Lydia caught a glimpse of Beth on the field as well and felt relieved. At least she wasn't the only 1st year here. Retrieving a spare broom from the shed, Lydia walked out onto the field and took a deep breath. This may be the craziest thing she'd done yet at Hogwarts, but she was determined to try as many new things as possible while she was here. No one would ever accuse her of being a wilting wallflower!

Lydia took some deep breaths, practicing her breathing. It was also a good way to calm her nerves. She really hoped she wasn't about to make a huge fool of herself in front of everyone!

"What position are you trying out for? Did you do any sports back home?"
And another trying for seeker, but so far she didn't hear any takers for keeper? People always seemed to want chaser or beater though. But also kind of ironic because a year ago she had to twist Vivian's arm to get her to consider seeker, which she ended up being quite the star with, yet now, she had three potential seekers and no keepers??

"You made it, Lydia!" She beamed, overhearing her say about the strong or athletic thing. "You'd be surprised though how different quidditch is from other sports in terms of its athletic requirements." Okay, so it required some, obviously, but it was ... "You adapt more easily, I think." But hey, she had the familial advantage to her aid. Also she was excited to see TWO first years trying out!!! Slytherin quidditch legacy to continue!

Not even going to try and hide the fact that yea he was a tad late since they were in the wide open and there was no point in sneaking, Ryder made his way over to the group of Slytherins on the pitch and set down his broom, standing to the side of most of them. Normally he didn't stretch beforehand, but maybe stretching those arm muscles would do him some good. Try to show off. Look bigger than he was. He was pumped!

"Sup."
Oh and another new person trying out!!! She recognized this one too, because he was one of Patrick's roommates ... Ryder, yes?

"Hey! Ryder, right? Welcome, welcome!" also, speaking of third year snakes, was Patrick not gonna tryout again?

If she was more of a social butterfly she would have greeted everyone but maybe she would do that next year, this year she would focus on her classes, Quidditch and her socialization skills. Anastasie hates failing and hopefully this time around she wouldn't even dare to fail. Hopefully. The ginger took a deep breath in and slowly breathed out. She would do this! She knew she had it in her to do this. She worked her butt off all summer just to build her strength and flexibly but also to build her knowledge of the position she wanted to play, Keeper. Ana gave Skylar a wave as she set her broom down and began doing arm circles.
And speaking of Kowalskis ....... there was her favorite female Kowalski. Okay, so probably the only female Kowalski she knew, but she was excited nonetheless to see Anastasie braving tryouts. She knew the girl struggled with making friends and glad her persuasion seemed to work. Surely quidditch would help in the making friends process; besides Ana had to know she was super pretty and one of the sweetest, so adding quidditch to her list of skills would help. At least Skylar hoped so. She waved back, "Ana, glad you made it!"



Okay, arm circles complete ... or at least it felt like it was longer, to which Skylar ceased doing her own arm circles. "Perfect. So no matter what position you're playing with quidditch, your arms are probably some of the most crucial limbs because you either have to catch the quaffle, throw the quaffle, block the quaffle, swing a bat, or catch a snitch. So making sure your arms and wrists are not stiff from that twenty inch parchment to Professor Noble is definitely important."

"But enough loosening up and enough of me rambling, as you're all here to fly!" Or at least ... she assumed that was why they were here, right? Picking up her broom, she mounted it and flicked her wand casually at the sky to reveal what she'd been prepping. An obstacle course, which would test their strength and agility, but also hopefully give them a challenge.

"So there is an obstacle course to complete in the center of the pitch, as you can tell, but before we do that, let's get warmed up a little with a couple laps around the pitch. I'd recommend a slow and steady start, but go as fast as you feel comfortable. We do have some time." They had the pitch booked for a whole hour, actually. Also, did her first years need help? "Whenever you're ready, mount your brooms and go!"



ooc: Okay, so just a reminder, to make the team, you do have to submit this survey and post in the tryouts thread (at least once). There is no minimum posting requirement, so post when you're able ... pretend like you've been here, catchup posts are allowed, but most importantly have fun =)

Patrick looked around the Pitch, felt weird to be in an actual pitch and not the back field of his mamaw’s property. Looking around he realized that everyone was circling their arms. Snapping out of his daze he began to circle his arms and lean to the side and back. He was thankful that baseball had been his go to sport this summer too. His endurance was up, but it didn’t seem like many of his friends at Hogwarts were the running kind.

Skylar started talking which prompted him to stop circling his arms and finally listen up. It was high time they started to fly. He was ready to impress this year. It was disappointing being a reserve last year, but after flying so much at home, he was sure he would at least be a chaser this year. He was working his way to Keeper, but figured his arm would better serve the chasers. “Pretty good turnout Captain,” Patrick commented as he mounted his broom and zoomed off toward the top of the stands to get a few laps in before he started working on maneuvering around the field, and obstacles that Skylar had placed.

Junia wasn't going to be short on distractions this term, but yes, quidditch served as one of the more enjoyable ones. Flying in general tended to help her clear her head, the action of an actual match just added to it. Enhanced it. It was much needed, and that's why she'd decided to keep at it this term, hectic as it'd make her schedule.

"Chaser again, yeah. It's what I'm best at." Not to say that her housemates couldn't be better. Wouldn't be. She glanced around at them, knowing her spot wouldn't be guaranteed. She'd just need to prove herself to Sky, that's all. She smiled at her fellow seventh year as she tightened her pony tail and then took hold of her broom, mounting it. "See you up there." And she kicked off, gaining height quickly and allowing herself to get lost in the feeling of flying.

Beth glanced over and smiled to Lydia once more. ”good luck, I’m sure you’ll do well!” she excitedly quipped to her dormmate and turned to look around at the rest of the people trying out today. Oh, maybe things would go well? She wasn’t sure at least.

Looking over she glanced at the third year boy Ryder and gave him a slight nod by way of saying hello. Oh…so it arms were important – that obviously made sense. Beth simply listened to everything the quidditch captain was saying as she continued to stretch her arms out and do those arm circles. Taking a moment she stretched out her legs just to get a little more limber and then…they were being told to do a lap around the pitch.

Flying, merlin this was the part she loved. She loved it almost as much as she loved riding the horses she had trained on during the lessons she had Minnie used to take. ”good luck everyone,” she chirped out quickly before mounting her broom and kicking off of the ground. For a moment she hovered and mapped the best path around the pitch as she didn’t want to run into anyone and then, she leaned forward slowly at first and took off in an easy loop around the pitch. It was clear from the radiating smile that she was happy, truly happy to be on a broom and flying. Really, she wanted to try her hand at the obstacle course - but she could wait until she'd managed a few loops around the pitch...and until someone else had completed it so she'd know what not to do.

As the obstacle course appeared, Kye gave a "Woo!" This had been the idea last year as well, and in Kye's opinion it had gone very well! As the Captain finished giving her instructions, Kye analyzed the course above.

Ah, yes, laps. Kye had to restrain herself from taking off and zooming around the pitch. It was not time for showing off for the sake of showing off! Maybe later... for now, it was time to show her skill, diligence, team spirit... all that jazz. She took a lap at a more average speed, keeping in line with most others. After that though, all gloves were off! Kye zoomed her quickest, and basked in the glory of the wind in her face at what felt like a billion miles per hour. It was GREAT to be back!

The turnout this year was definitely a lot more than the previous. This didn't exactly bother Vivian because a part of her liked seeing new potentials in the team so they could keep the Cup in their hands. At the same time, they were competition too. At times, she did enjoy healthy competition... but unless your surname was Hale, then there seriously was a problem.

With the arm circles done, Vivian finished it off by cracking her knuckles one last time. Catching the snitch required making use of her fingers too, so at least her joints were warming up. But when Sky had revealed an obstacle course in midair, the Head Girl smiled a tiny bit. The Portree team had her do tons of these when she came to visit her Aunt during their practices. With her experience last term as well, it didn't seem like much of a problem. She actually enjoyed these kinds of obstacles.

"See ya, captain," Vivian gave her dorm mate a salute before summoning her broom with a swift "Up!" And with that, she mounted her broom and kicked off, zooming towards the course.

Also mental finger wiggles with Junia and Kye.

Cameron Tamesis was also here.

Of course he was.

He wouldn't miss this for anything, even though he had a pretty tight schedule for his OWLs year. Really tight. So tight in fact that he had studied right before coming here and had even been walking down here while levitating a Transfiguration textbook in front of him. But he'd have time for Quidditch. He not only didn't want to lose his touch with the game - it was vital that he kept practicing during the term, so he'd be ready for U17 in summer - but he also really needed an outlet. A distraction from studying.

Naturally, Liam was a good distraction as well but Quidditch was different.

After warming up his arms with the rest of the Slytherins, Cameron then nodded when Skylar told them they'd be FINALLY allowed to get on their brooms. He quickly mounted his and pushed himself off the ground, lips curling into a small smile as he felt the wind against his face. Yes, she'd said slow laps so he was going slow...sort of. Mostly.

Really, what constituted as 'slow' anyway?

"Good luck!" Lydia called to Beth as she finished her own arm circles.

This was it. This was the moment she'd been waiting for. It was time to fly! Feeling very nervous, Lydia brushed her wavy black hair back from her face and gripped the handle of her borrowed broom tightly. She could do this. It would probably be like riding a horse, which she'd done occasionally with her dad. He was big into equestrianism.

Lydia took a deep breath and mounted her broom. She took a moment to flash a quick smile at the captain as well, to let her know that she had this. Then she pushed off gently from the ground with her feet and before she knew it she was up in the air! The wind rushed gently past her face, and wow, this was great! Lydia glanced down at the ground; good thing she'd never been afraid of heights or she'd be in real trouble now. She hovered for a while, getting her bearings and also adjusting her balance. It would not do at all to slip off the end of the broomstick.

Finally, her nervousness fading, Lydia began flying slowly around the pitch, doing the laps as Skylar had instructed. At first her pace was slow, even lazy, but as she gained confidence, she leaned forward on the broom, and it picked up speed. Ok, this wasn't bad at all. She could get used to this. Even if she wasn't picked for the team, Lydia thought she would probably still do a lot of flying. How could anyone not love it?
