Tryouts

Dayved's POV

The first week of school felt like I had a sack of bricks on my back, and it dragged on and on. I had to get to Quidditch tryouts, so I headed down the rocky terrain to the pitch holding my Nimbus 2000 and my gear. Scott was Captain of the team, so I knew he'd at least make me a back up if I failed to make Chaser. When I got there, the Gryffindor's (who were applying for the team) were huddled in a rather large circle. I joined them holding up my broom proudly. Ellie was there, so was Rilianne, and Reggie.
"Ok, stop fooling around guys," Scott said sternly, looking at two Gryffindor boys.
"So, first we'll do the tryouts for the Keeper!" Scott said, "Uh- Ellie first." Scott whizzed into the air on his Firebolt, then caught the Quaffle that went airborne up to him from Mir; a Gryffindor in his third year. Scott gave Ellie the nod, then zoomed forwards on his broom. He swerved back and forth then threw the Quaffle towards the edge of the ring; Ellie caught it firmly in her hands and smirked.
"Nice," Scott said. I looked over to the stands and could see Blake sitting, viewing Ellie's tryout. Ellie continued to grasp the Quaffle every time a shot was taken. After Keeper, was the Chaser tryouts. I was really nervous because I might fail. I zoomed up into the air, and took a lap around the pitch.
"I want to see how you guys do in play, alright?" Scott said. I nodded and got to our starting points. He whistled and threw the Quaffle straight up into the air, Reggie swiftly snatched it and twisted around on his broom, then passing it off to Rilianne, who took a shot for the ring but it was saved by Ellie. The second play happened and I was passed to from Rilianne, then took a strong throw at the ring. It went flying by Ellie and into the ring.
"Well done, Dayved."
"Ok, I've seen enough," Scott said, "Beaters next."
Bert and Mir lined up with their bats and broom, then rose into the air.
"I'll fly around the pitch, protect me from them," Scott said.
"Release them Dayved," Scott said, pointing to the trunk. I tugged open the large trunk, and unlocked the chains holding the Bludgers in. They shot into the air and whizzed around, creating a gurgling sound.

Bert's POV

I sat firmly on my broom, then zoomed after the Bludgers chasing Scott. They shot towards him so I spun in front of Scott then smacked them away with my bat. Mir was almost hit by one of them but swung at them, sending them flying around the Quidditch pitch stands. This went on for about ten more minutes, then Scott said we could all go and have lunch. I ate with Alan at the boathouse, dipping my feet in the cool waters. After lunch, I had Potion Theory's, they were the worst!

Gali's POV

*"Back off, I didn't touch her drink!"
"What did you do to Nat!"
"Blame me all you want, I didn't do anythi-"*

"Gali!" Dayved screamed in my face.
"Finally, I was yelling at you forever."
I didn't want to speak but I had to force something out, "hello," I said hiding my feelings.
"Want to eat lunch in the courtyard with Ellie and I?" Dayved questioned, grinning at me with his large teeth.
"Oh, um," I said in a worrisome tone, "no thanks."
"Oh- if you want to come, you know where to find us." Dayved hopped up and travelled down the rickety staircase that allowed us to get up on the stands. I couldn't explain how I've been feeling over the summer. Every time I thought of Nat a gut-reaching feeling came over me, making my stomach sink and send shivers up my spine. It was my fault. I knew it was.

Ellie's POV

I strode into the Great Hall to see Scott hammering the new team for Gryffindor into the stone wall.
"Hey Scott," I said, examining the papers.
"Oh, hey!" he said. I skimmed my finger upon the page until I saw it. I got Keeper!
"Yes!" I said, fist bumping the air. Dayved had gotten Chaser, Rilianne and Reggie as Chaser also. Scott was playing Seeker, since that's been his position all these years. At the bottom of the parchment was the two Beaters, Bert and Mir. This was a great team layout. We'd win the Quidditch Cup this year, and I had no doubt about that.
