Love is Love: A Scorose Fanfic

Chapter 50: Hosting Tryouts

The first week of classes passed. It was just like Scorpius and Rose suspected it would be. Busy. With N.E.W.T''s coming up at the end of the year, the teachers loaded the students up with boatloads of homework. So, every evening, Rose and Scorpius would go to their new spot, and work on homework and study together, just like they did for O.W.L's. But, now, a new Quidditch season was unfolding. Rose had already hosted her Gryffindor tryouts the previous yesterday afternoon. But, tonight, Scorpius and Rose's studying would have to pushed back a few hours. Tonight was the night that Scorpius chose to host Slytherin Quidditch tryouts.

"I know you are going to be great picking out a team." Rose said as she rubbed circles on Scorpius's back. He was a bit nervous. Scorpius had never had this big of a task to be responsible for. If he didn't pick a good team, his entire house would be mad at him. But, he was planning keeping most of the team from last year. He just had to find a replacement for Jessica.

"I know, it's just that, if I don't do this right, I'm NEVER going to hear the end of it." Scorpius responded, already changed into his Slytherin Quidditch Uniform, and clutching his Firebolt 2 in his free hand. But, Scorpius and Rose's conversation was interrupted by someone.

"Hey, what time were you planning on going down and setting up? I can help if you'd like." Allison said, coming into the Heads common room, already changed and clutching her broom, where Scorpius and Rose were planted on one of the couches.

"Well, I guess we can make our way down there now." Scorpius almost sighed, and got up from the comfortable spot he was sitting in, where he was leaning against Rose. Rose was a little disappointed that he had to get up too. He was all warm. But, Scorpius gave her a nice, sweet, kiss goodbye, and made his way out of the Heads Flat.

"So, what's your plan this year?" Allison asked, as her and Scorpius exited the Heads Flat.

"Well, I thought it would just be easiest to keep everyone from last years team. We just need to find a new Chaser to replace Jessica." Scorpius explained, as him and Allison were climbing one of the moving staircases.

"I would have to agree with that." Allison said back.

Scorpius wondered how big of a turnout there would be. He had posted a sign up sheet in the Slytherin Common Room the day before, but, he never checked it to see how many names were left. But, right now, him and Allison were going to see.

After a long walk down to the dungeons where the Slytherin Common Room was, Scorpius and Allison were let in.

"Oh, hey Scorp. Are you guys going to host tryouts right now?" Albus said, looking up from his spot in the common room, and noticed that Scorpius walked in with Allison.

"Yea. We just need to see how big of a turnout we are going to have." Scorpius said, tearing the sing up sheet he posted off the bulletin board in the common room. Allison noticed many people sitting in the common room in Quidditch robes.

When Scorpius looked at the sign up sheet, there were about 30 names written on it. This made him just more stressed. The more names, the longer this would take, and the more evaluating he would have to do.

"Well, that's a lot of names, we should probably head down there before any of them get there." Allison said, after seeing the same number names as Scorpius did.

"Good Luck." Albus said, returning to his homework, as he saw Allison and Scorpius exit the common room.

After another very long walk, Allison and Scorpius were down at the Quidditch pitch. Scorpius set his broom and the sign up sheet down. Him and Allison went over to the broom shed, and pulled out the trunk that had the Buldgers, Quaffle, and Snitch inside it. Once they were back out on the pitch, they noticed that people started coming towards them, and some people were filling into the stands to observe.
