Preparing for try outs.

[arrogantalloy]

 WHO: Tony, but open to all.
TONE: Easy going.
RATING: PG-13 for possible language
WHEN: August 9th
WHERE: Hogwarts grounds. Roughly where the first years are taught how to ride a broom.
WHAT: Tony's getting ready to be a captain before general try out for quidditch start.
STATUS: Ongoing! 


With Tony being the Captain of Ravenclaw's team this year. Tony decided to take a break from homework and general geniusing, to sit out in the autumn sun while doing some general broom maintenance out on the grass. 

He's absorbed in his work; readjusting twigs, shifting his foot stands and getting on and testing how it moves a few feet off the air.

He's mumbling to himself during the entire process.

"What I wouldn't give for an iPod to work here sometimes"

Is one of the few things he can be heard mumbling aside from extensive thoughts on how the broom should hand'e when he does this thing or that thing to it.

One thing is for sure, he seems to be quite in his element playing with the broom.

I've written up a guide if you want to look at it, it's incomplete in places because. Uh well I get caught up in doing it and forget to write things down. But hey, that's what journals are for right?

[He grins back]

If they are, no one's mentioned it to me. Which is good, because it's going to be easier to make some plays if I don't have to learn a new seekers moves.

That's handy! I keep a notebook of all my favorite moves and I have a book of Quidditch plays. I mark ones I want to try and ones I have tried and how successful I was at them. Uh..and I write down if I got injured and how.

[She kind of sags with relief.]

Oh, whew! I always get worried about that every season. I'd be pretty bummed if I lost out on being Seeker. Not that the other positions aren't interesting or anything..I just like everything that goes with Seeking.

You're tiny, you're fast. Everyone's seen you out there and knows better if you ask me.

Even if a First year gets into their head. They never make it onto a house team. So really, it's kind of always in the bag for you.

[its_cor_aline]

True..but last year I choked a few times and I was worried it might effect my placement this year.

Yeah, my first year I didn't try out but the Captain taught me how to play anyways. He was cool enough to let me hang around during practices too. Being on the Quidditch team was just something I wanted ever since I first saw it.

Fly a good game for try outs. It's not going to be a problem. I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do with everyone.

Hmm. Good captain. I'm pretty sure you'll be playing Quidditch every year, here.
