Tryouts

I shot awake. I was late.

"Dammit, Lucas Newton Potter-Scamander! Of all days you chose to sleep in, you chose quidditch tryouts day?!" I said to myself as I pulled on my clothes and grabbed my broom from beside the door.

I ran out the common room and ran down the moving staircases so fast, it's a surprise I didn't trip over my feet. I was almost to the fifth staircase, when it started to move. I thought I could make it, so I jumped. The staircase kept moving and my foot missed the landing. I reached out for the banister and managed to grab hold of it.

Pulling myself up, I continued to run. When I made it to the door leading to the Quidditch pitch, I caught a quick glimpse of it.

"Looks like they just started." I said as I hopped on my broom and flew as quickly as possible onto the pitch. I flew close to the Ravenclaw captain.

"I'm sorry, Rylie. I accidentally-"

"Slept in! I guessed that! Get going with tryouts, kid!"

I flew up and began my tryouts.

It felt like tryouts had been going forever. I had just dodged a bludger and thrown the quaffle into the goalpost when Rylie blew her whistle.

"Alright! Tryouts are over! Chasers are Potter-Scamander, Seigen, and Rohtes!"

I hadn't noticed that we were the last people on the pitch actually flying. But, we were. The others were sitting off to the side, looking up at us. When we landed, I saw clearly that Rohtes' face was very bruised.

"Got hit in the face with a bludger in the last twenty minutes." he explained.

I recalled hearing an odd scream followed by the words "My face is broken!"

I laughed and put an arm around him, careful not to hurt him "Want me to take you to the Hospital Wing?"

He nodded "If you wouldn't mind. I can't see."
