Sileniatis

Chapter Seven

"It's time Ami! Let's go! Hurry up or we're going to be late!" Mina said as she started tugging on Ami's robe. Today was Quidditch tryouts and Ami had been talking about it all week. On top of that, Jin had been helping her out and giving her pointers. Making sure she was training right for when the day finally came.

"Ah I'm so nervous. What if I mess up or fall off my broomstick. Oh goodness. Anything could happen." Ami said as she started to ramble off all the bad things that could happen. Mina wasn't having it though.

"Ami. Shut up. You got this. You're absolutely amazing and you're going to impress everyone. You're going to make the team no matter what and I'll be there in the bleachers cheering you on." Mina said with a smile, patting her friends shoulders as she gave them a soft squeeze.

Mina and Ami quickly ran through the halls trying to get to the Quidditch Pitch. They had just finished with their Herbology class and were running late since that class was towards the front of the school and the quidditch pitch was all the way in the back of the school.

As they got closer, Ami got even more excited. With Mina's support, she knew she could do this. Each day they were going to hold tryouts. Today they were holding chaser tryouts and that's what Ami was hoping to get. If anything she could come back the following day and try out for a beater position.

As they approached the stands Mina smiled "I know you got this, you'll do amazing!" She gave her a big hug. "I'll be right in the stands to cheer you on."

Ami took a deep breath and nodded. "Thanks Mina, you're the best. I'll see you after tryouts." They went their separate ways, Mina to the stands and Ami onto the quidditch pitch where a couple other students were waiting.

The field was a huge oval shape with a size of 500 feet long and 108 feet wide. It had a small circle at the centre, approximately two feet in diameter from which all the balls were released at the start of the game. She looked around in awe, feeling so tiny. At each end were three goal hoop shaped goalposts with different heights.

She gulped at the sight of everyone. Seokjin spotted Ami and smiled as he ran towards her calling out her name. She looked around and spotted him running towards her. "Glad you could make it. I was beginning to think you changed your mind."

Ami laughed. "I wouldn't have missed this for the world. Though looking at all these people is starting to make me a bit nervous." She chuckled out nervously.

Jin pulled her into a side hug. "You have nothing to be nervous about. Just remember everything I taught you and you'll be fine. Now let's join the rest of the team." Jin led her towards their house section.

Each house was spread out on the field where everyone could meet up and later on they would each separate by going into their house changing rooms so they can get the proper equipment on.

After everyone got settled, they separated to put their uniforms on and grab their equipment. Jin being a chaser and the Captain of the team led everyone inside the changing room. He showed them around. There were two changing areas on each side of the room for the boys and girls.

On another side were lockers and benches and then he led them to another area where a chalkboard was. "This is where we talk strategy and where we'll meet up right before any games."

Everyone surrounded Jin as he spoke. "As you all know, today's tryouts are for Chasers. There are three chasers on the team and since I'm a chaser, only two lucky people will make it on the team." There were a few murmurs and gasps within the students. Ami gulped and looked around, the room was full of students that included Hoseok. He was the keeper of the team and another student named Chan- being the seeker of the team. There were four students trying out for the chaser position, including herself.
