RYan was late for the tryouts for the quidditch team, but he was late to many things, so he was never upset about it. Ryan was known for three things, his outfit, the red kimono and pants he had on all the time, being a skilled seeker, and being late. It wasnt unusual for him to show up anywhere after the set time, unless he planed it.
This was not planed, and he was not trying to be late. Running at full speed to the pitch, modified firebolt in one hand, red kimono in the other, still took him what seemed like forever to make it, His smaller, white kimono was still open, revieling his chest, but his stomach and abs were still covered up. Funally, after running for muinets on end, as fast as he can, he made it to the pitch.
"So, what...do we... have this time?" Ryan was panting, his firebolt now on the ground at his right foot. He was towering over Jas. When she turned around, he was just starting to fix his white kimono and then started on his red one.
Aiden looked around for a moment and got his broom. He did a few laps around the pitch. It was a long time since he last flew but he knew he was doing well. After his last lap, he landed on the ground and stood, broom in hand. Now he waited.

Pen in hand Jasmine wrote down all the names has they stepped forward and introduced themselves. Once she was down she watched has everyone took off. For some she knew instantly that they were decent flyers. As for the others, well they could use some work. Has she starred toward the skies she heard someone running. Turning she saw that it was none other than the team Seeker, Ryan.
He didn't really have to run the whole way to the pitch. She wasn't going to be made about him being late. She was just glad to see that he returned for the term. "Hey Ryan." she said stepping back so that he had more room to breath. "Well, we have a good turn out. Enough to make a team only most of them are first years." she explained. Its not that it really bothered her, she just hoped that they had some experience with flying and playing quidditch.
Jas turned to the group has they begun to stand around her after finishing their laps. Knowing that Victiore wanted to tryout for seeker she approached her. "Victiore, I know you wanted to try out for seeker but we already have one. Feel free to try out for another position if you like." she informed her. Walking over to the chest she opened it to grab the quaffle. "Did you want to run the beaters try outs?" she asked has she turned to Ryan. Knowing that he would say yes she turned to the others. "Those of you trying out for chaser please follow me." she instructed. Grabbing her broom she began to walk to the other side of the field leaving Ryan with the others that stayed behind.
Once she was a good distance away she stopped and set her broom down. "Ok, so I am assuming that everyone knows what a chaser does in the game of quidditch." she started hoping that she was right to make the general assumption. "So, before we practice throwing this quaffle through those hoops I would like for everyone to tell me just how much experience you have with flying and why I should pick you to be on the team."
Ally looked around seeing Ryan Owl OHH MY GOSH. It was really Ryan Owl. Gryffindor Seeker. Smiling when Jas told them to go with her she grabbed her broom and ran over there. Smiling she said. "OK well I have had a pretty ok experience. I practice with the Hufflepuff Captian alot her name is Amanda Larsen. I also play in a Quidditch Reck League! I think you should pick me because I am fast, nice, responsible, dependent, couragous, caring, strong, and I can shoot very well!"
Faye walked over to Jasmine and smiled. "I've been flying since I was about twelve, so about four years." she began. Naturally, the broom she used to use was a bit slower since she was younger, but she upgraded the year before she came to Hogwarts. "I've played Qudditch for fun with my family for about two years. You should pick me to be on the team because I'm a team player. I'm fair to everyone, I'm usually on time, I'm responsible, and I can catch and throw well." she finished.
RYan smiled as Jay let him take over the beater tryouts again. It was good to have some power on the team, though he may not be the captain. "How can I say no to an offer like that, Jas." Hw smiled. By the time she left with the keepers, the rest were left to him. "Ok, as for the rest of you, meet me at the other side of the pitch. you that is were the beeters tryouts are at. If you want somthing else, then talk t about it to me down there."
With that done, he walked to the ball box, and picked up the single bat, and unlatch one of the bludgers. he had it in his left hand, where it was secure. In his right hand was his wand. He summoned his broom with it when he reached the hoop bases. "Accio, firebolt" He had his wand back in his kimono when his firebolt reached him. "Tell me your name, and how skilled you are at being beater."
Aiden followed the captian. Why did hw want to be chaser? "I've had experiance playing Quidditch with my family for almost two years. I'm a team player, on time for practices and a fair player." He said, moving some hair from his face.

Jarod wasn't the only one trying out for beater, was he? He watched as Jasmine gave intructions to this other guy to hold the beater's tryout. It was fine if he was the only one trying out for beater, but he wasn't going to assume he'd immediately be on the team. He expects hard work as well as a hard challenge during this try-out to see how far advanced he is in this sport. Afterall, what child in the wizarding world doesn't know about quidditch or hasn't been taught how to play the sport?
Instead of walking the distance to the end of the pitch, Jarod just stepped onto the food pedals of his broom and zoomed off toward the end. It's better than having to make the guy wait for his slow arse. Then stepping off his broom, he let it hover by his side. "Jarod LaCroux," he mentions at first in his heavy french accent. "Well beater does include good hand and eye coordination, which I have, and a good arm to hold the bat to beat the oncoming bludgers toward myself or our team and aim them elsewhere, like to our opponents."
He lectured more about the position than himself, but it was a start. "I feel that I'm strong enough to master the bat and hit the bludger with a forceful impact which hopefully can lunge itself to the other side of the pitch. Other than that, I've had experience with the international French quidditch team with a chance to practice with them as an offer from my father," the seventeen year old mentioned with lesser pride because it was just to buy him off on his birthday. "Anything else I need more to explain?"
Kera watched as everyone trying out for chaser followed Jasmine, and soon followed Ryan over to the the other side of the pitch. It seemed there was only one other person trying out for the beater position. This was a small let down for her because this way there wouldn't be much competition, and if she did get the position she'd end up feeling as if she didn't really impress anyone with her skills very much.
Listening as the boy who was trying out with her spoke, she patiently waited for her to introduce herself. After Jarod was done speaking, she set her broom down at her feet. "I'm Kera Jonson." she said calmly introducing herself. "I've been played as the beater every time I played Quidditch with my brother since I was 11 years old. I find myself more skilled at sneak attacks because I always seem to hit bludger toward an opponent who's back is facing me. I have always considered myself a very sneaky beater, although I will admit my skills may not be perfect." As she finished speaking she hoped her explanation would be good enough, or maybe she'd have to explain a little more about her skills.
Victiore flew lady-like to the stands on her cleansweep 3000. She decieded to wait for the try-outs before telling the caption she might try out next-year.
Scrubb hurried down to the pitch, with his broom over his shoulder. Spotting Jasmine, he walked over, and quickly apologized. "I'm sorry I'm late, I've had the flu..." he said, his throat still sounding scratchy. He then stepped aside as she talked to the others.
Ryan waited as the the only two people to try out for the beater position spoke all that he had told them. With one last look around, and after they were both finished, he finally spoke, but it was in a wefriendlyer voice, not so mych as commanding, like how it was. "Well, it seemes as if we have our beaters. unless there is an invisible someone around, then you have the partes, but I am still testing you on your abilities. "Mr. LaCroux, you are first up. Miss. Jonson, would you be so kind as to wait up in the stands, you will try out as soon as Mr. LaCroux is finished.
Ryan, being incredibly taller then the other two, had no need to bend down as Kera took off to the stands, way up above the field. "LaCroux, fallow meto the air." He handed him the Bat, and with the bludger still in his hand, took off til he was about 30 feet in the air. Once Jarod was up, the seeker spoke again. "first, lets see how god your aim is. I want you to hit the bludger strait through the center hoop. use only as much power as you need." With that said, he thrwe the bludger to the hoops, where it came back at them.
(((Now, as for your question: who was the Gryffindor house captain when Harry first joined the team, and what year was he in? You have until 3 days to answer.)))

Hmmm. To watch beater tryouts, or chaser? Sophie-Ann supposed that, as she'd probably be more likely to want to try out for the former than the latter, eventually, that she ought to observe the Beater trialists.
Sophie-Ann stood on the ground, just below where the beater candidates were going through their workouts. She attached a sheet of parchment to her clipboard, and began scribbling notes with her quill.

Jarod took the bat that Ryan had offered him and followed on his broom into the air. He watched as Ryan held onto the bludger, which must have come easily for him; however, bludgers were hard to keep tame in one's hand no matter what. But he didn't take his mind off the fact that he was first in this beater trial that Ryan would be handling. Hopefully he'd do well enough to deserve a spot on the team, or sit on the sidelines until he was able to try again the next term.
Hovering in the air, opposite to Ryan, he listened intently to what the task was. His eyes averted in the direction of the bludger as Ryan threw it through the hoops. Now, being the brainiac he is, he figured that with immense amount of force put forth through the bat, he would be able to hit the bludger straight into the center hoop without it straying off path. As the bludger did return, accelerating in speed toward Jarod, he motioned his arm back with the bat, waiting.
In one swift movement, Jarod hit the bludger on cue with much force and watched as it soared off in the distance. He watched it heading into the center hoop. As much as his arm tingled and pained a bit, it was a good feeling to him, and waiting in anticipation, his lips curved into a smile with satisfaction. Bull's eye. The bludger went through just like Jarod had calculated.
Troy ran down to the Quidditch pitch, he could not believe he was late for trials, he wanted so much to be on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. He had his broom in his hand and he went to meet the rest of the team and trialists. (Ooc - Oliver Wood was captain when Harry first joined)
(((The rooster has been sent in by me. It will be in the common room. check there. I picked from those who had the most experence, and those who had played already. any comments, talk to me about it.)))
