Austin had one more lap to do. He finished and started to head down to where everybody else was. Right when he was heading down he heard the girl who had gotten into the fight yell up to him and everybody else. "Alright. All of you down here!" He flew down and gently touched the ground with his feet and stood up and held his broom against his shoulder waiting for everybody else to join him.

A hand runs through her thick tangled locks and she sighs a visible puff of air infront of her. "Alright. All of you down here!" She shouts to everyone, even if they didn't finish all of their laps. Heading to the quidditch chest, she unlocks it and opens to reveal two beater bats and the balls they would be practicing with. Amanda took the quaffle first and waits for the Hufflepuffs to join around her.
Emma heard Amanda's order and quickly angled her broom down towards the captain. Touching down on the field, she walked over to Amanda, broom in hand, and waited for instructions on what to do.

Bryce heard that they had to do the laps. He got on his broom and took off. He went around twice and finally his last lap. This young boy was pretty fast on his broom. When he had gotten done he flew back down to where Holden, Amanda and Rob was at. He looked over at Rob. "I'm trying out for Chaser" he told him as he smiled to him.
He then took one step aside and waited for orders from Amanda but she was prretty busy on the ground. Holden hasn't even let her up let so she could do her job as the Captian. He bit his lower lip and waited to get this to start and hoped that he would be on the team.

Finally, as the try-outees landed their brooms and surrounded Amanda, she juggled the quaffle between both hands and stopped. "Alright everyone, I'm Amanda Larsen, your Captain here and Chaser. This is Holden Caulfield, Co-Captain and Seeker. Rob Hudson who is beater, and Josie Felling isn't here; however, she is our other Chaser," she introduced.
"We are the original team members and we're here to try-out for the positions open: Chaser, Beater, and Keeper. Now, I'm going to have this open also to the current members if they too would like to change to those positions, but must also try-out along with the lot of you," she looked to both Holden and Rob, wondering if they'd like to change their positions or not.
"Now, once those positions are filled, there are also two positions for Alternates. Those who become Alternates will have the ability to play all positions if one is still recovering from illness or otherwise. We'll begin with chasers first. Holden, I'd like for you to play as Keeper for now." Amanda set the quaffle aside for any person to take to begin their trial.
"What I want from you is to being flying around the pitch and then come to the center. Try any tricks if you like, vary in speeds, and try to out-wit your opponent. Then try to score through the three gold-ringed posts. I don't expect it to be perfect the first time or for you to get it through, but it's the way you handle yourself on your broom and your determination. So who wants to go first?"

Emma stepped up. "I'll go first," she stated, and got the Quaffle from Amanda. Saddling her broom with the Quaffle in one hand, she took a moment to steady herself, and then shot up into the sky.
She began by circling the entire field, getting the feel of it. Having never actually seen the sport played before, being a Muggle, she used what she had learned from her books and began adding in an occasional twist or turn. Emma was soon zooming around the stadium, executing sharp turns and dodging pretend bludgers. She accidentally took one of her turns too quickly and almost lost her grip on the broom and the Quaffle, but she quickly steadied herself and continued on.
Turning in towards the hoops, she slowed her breathing and concentrated hard. She charged for the shortest one, picking up speed while grasping the Quaffle tightly in her hand. As soon as she was a few yards away though, she pulled her broom up sharply and threw the Quaffle as hard as she could, aiming for the middle hoop. She held her breath but then gasped, she had thrown the ball a little too hard and it looked as if it had a 50/50 chance of either making it or falling short.
Once Evelyn heard the captain tell them to get down. She flew towards the ground then jumped off her broom. Evelyn listened as the captain was speaking. When she asked who was going to go first
Evelyn looked at all the people who were trying out. A girl decided to go first. Evelyn watched the girl fly up into the air. Evelyn watched the girl through waiting patiently to see if it would go in.
Josie had overslept. Josie who always woke up annoyingly early and couldn't get back to sleep no matter how hard she tried had overslept and was now late for the Hufflepuff Quidditch try-outs. Admittedly she was already on the team so she didn't have to try out but she had wanted to be there and watch new team members try-out.
Sighing she grabbed her broom as she made her way out of the dormitory, mentally cursing her inner alarm clock for failing her on today of all days.
As she stepped out the castle she yelped as an icy rain drop splashed against her bare leg. Maybe she should have taken the time to look out the window and see what the weather was like before she had dressed, her shorts and vest didn't seem like the best choice, but then again its what she always practiced in why should today be any different.
Making her way on to the pitch she was surprised at how many people were there, at her try-outs only she and Rob had turned up, this was amazing. There team would be full in no time and they could start practicing right away. They'd only gotten one session in last term and although she still had 6 left at Hogwarts to enjoy the game people like Amanda and Holden didn't have as much time. She wanted them to enjoy it after all the time and effort they were putting in.
As she neared Amanda and Holden she could feel something wasn't right she just couldn't put her finger on it and they were filthy what on earth had they been doing!
"Hey guys." She said cheerfully. "Nice turn out." She spotted Rob and waved smiling at each of the others in turn, she knew all of none of them, now that was shameful! She did recognise some of them so she thought that kind of made up for it.
She watched as a girl flew about the stands, she spotted the Quaffle and smiled to herself, so this could be our third chaser then, she thought to herself hoping she was the first to try-out and that she'd only missed the warm ups.

Holden looked to Amanda and nodded. He guessed the fighting was over, for now. The Seeker, now Keeper for a couple minutes grabbed his broom and took off in the air. The weather began to make him feel cold and a bit sleepy. Maybe he would tackle Amanda saying he's mad but only really want warmth. It would work!
The Seeker Keeper flew toward the goals and began circling them protectively. He stood in front of the middle one and waited for Amanda, Josie, and who-ever was going to play as the other Chaser or back up Chaser to try and put that Quaffle past him.
Quaffles suck. Snitch rules! Beat that yo.
Holden sneezed as the rain continued to pour. He ran his hand through his hair as he waited.

Amanda watched as Emma stepped up first to begin her trials around the pitch. Her eyes avert toward the sky, watching intently as the young Hufflepuff flew around with the quaffle in hand. However, her eyes tore away as Josie finally joined the rest of the team. "Good to see you've made it. Wouldn't want to miss the lovely weather we've got out here," her lips curl into a small smile.
Holden had finally taken notice that she referred him as Keeper, but he flew up there a bit too late when Emma had thrown the ball toward the hoops. -.-' Amanda sighed, taking off on her own broom to retrieve the quaffle for the girl. "Here you go. Try that again," she ordered as she flew on by to Holden. "Ew, you'll get snot in your hair."
Well, he ran a hand through his hair and the wind could've caught the snot! "Anyway, gosh, this is why you're not Keeper. You missed the quaffle, and I know you dislike it very much, but could you at least try a little. It won't bite you. I promise." Being a bit more civil toward Holden since their fight, she flew off toward the side, waiting for Emma to try her pitch again.

Emma nodded, taking the Quaffle from Amanda once again. Nerves slightly gone now, she comfortably swung her leg over her broom and kicked up into the air. This time around, it took her only a few seconds to get into her 'groove'. Face fierce with determination, she disappeared into a world where bludgers were flying around her head and there was a stadium filled with fans and enemies alike.
Dodging the bludgers swiftly and ignoring the crowds rants she moved in towards the three hoops. There was only one person between her and the hoops and that was not going to stop her. Zooming in, she headed for the tallest hoop, her motions tight and precise.
Only a little ways away from the hoops she quickly steeped down, hoping to trick the Keeper into thinking she was heading for the lower hoops. But instead, she swiftly brought her broom up once again and she chucked the Quaffle into the tallest hoop as accurately as she could, waiting once again to see what would happen.

Amanda watched Emma closely as she began her trial again. She noticed the determination the girl put forth in her skills on the broom as well as her trying to dodge imaginary bludgers like she was really in a game. Her motions were fluid and as Emma came to the golden hoops, she watched as the quaffle almost sunk at the highest goal, but managed to enter just toward the end, almost hidden the post itself.
"Good job!" She called out, summoning the quaffle back to her own hands. "Emma, you may stick around if you like," her lips curled into a smile. Then turning to the rest. "Alright, the rest of those wanting to try out for chaser positions, meet me at the other side of the pitch. Holden, Josie, and Rob," she looks to the three, even if Holden is still up in the air. "I'd like for you three to hold the beaters try-out."
Throwing the quaffle at the other end of the pitch, Amanda began mounting her broom, one leg over the handle while the other still stood firmly on the ground. "We'll do try-outs for Keeper last. I need you three to hold the beaters try-out since the bludgers will eventually need to be caught, but I would like a full report after practice on how those who participated did."
"To the rest trying out for chaser, I'll be your Keeper for now. The quaffle is over there, so any one of you can start first. See you at the goal posts," she said while kicking hard off the ground and flying over to her right where she would be testing the applicants.

Emma grinned from up in the air. "Thanks Amanda!" she called and then doved towards the ground. Landing, she took her broom in hand and sat down, wondering who else might try out.

Bryce wanted to be next instead of being last. He walked over and grabbed the quaffle and then got on his broom and went up in the air. He flew around for a few minutes and then looked at Amanda. "Are you ready for me Amanda?" he asked her as he smiled to her. He had hope that she was ready so he could get started with his.

This try-outs looked very promising, but that was just Amanda being sarcastic. Obviously the other teammates hadn't heard what she said. Does she have to do everything by herself? Well being the captain of the team she did have to make the decisions for the team. She really wanted to get this try-out completed in time. Amanda didn't want it to end up like last term where it took them at least half, if not, all the term to finally get a fully roster.
She was beginning to feel overwhelmed with all these decisions. If Holden, Rob, and Josie weren't going to do anything at the moment, then who? Who was going to help Amanda with these try-outs? This was going to take all day for them, in the rain if it continues, and most likely they would all end up sick. But a little ray of sunshine broke through the clouds.
Finally, some kind of sign that the rain was going away. Amanda breathed a little bit easier as the clouds slowly departed. Her sapphire orbs looked back to the team who was waiting for her to continue these try-outs. She needed to complete this goal of hers this term and send in a roster to Professor Weasley. If only did got help from the members of the team!
She snarled to herself while she hovered infront of the golden ring posts. Amanda wasn't partically in a good mood still and she'd like a little help everyone once in a while. Or else I'll just have to make our first practice all about scrimmages. They can spend an hour flying around the pitch until I say stop. It sounded like a tempting idea, but she wouldn't want to get on the bad side of her team. If there is a team.
But her thoughts dispersed as a boy retrieved the quaffle and flew up into the air. She recognized him as Bryce Littrell. Only because Holden took names down of all who was there to try-out for the team. Her lips curled into a smile. Finally another willing Hufflepuff to try out for Chaser. "I'm ready if you are. Give me your best shot Littrell," she called out to him as she got readied herself in position.
Josie watched Emma's try out and smiled pleased with the talent and enthusiasm she displayed. If everyone was that good Amanda was going to have a tough decision on her hands.
She nodded when Amanda gave her instructions but wondered exactly how they were going to go about it, how exactly did you try-out a beater. She couldn't remember what Rob had had to do at his try-outs so no help there and Amanda was up in the air before she could ask her.
Maybe they could have Rob bat against them or something? Test their reflexes and all that, after all it was Rob they were going to have to work with not her or Holden. They had their own things to do. Now that she was thinking about it Josie had a few ideas of how to go about it.
She looked at her fellow Hufflepuffs and as no one else was taking charge she decided to hoping she wasn't stepping on toes by doing so but someone had to do something. If they wanted a Quidditch Season that was. She herself was a little tired of being on a team that didn't get to play any games she was sure they all felt the same.
Smiling she decided to get started, "Why don't we release a bludger and have those who want to try out show us how their reflexes are?" She said to Holden and Rob, running her idea past them, "One of us could bat it towards them and see how they respond?" She wanted to include them so they all had a hand in the team.

Bryce looked at Amanda and smiled back to her. He took the quaffle and hit it towards Amanda. He had hope that he had made it. He watched it as it was flying right towards her. He had hope that she wouldn't get it and throw it back at him. He watched as he made the goal. "Yes" he told himself as he smiled to Amanda. "So should I try it again?" he then asked her.
