What Liv liked most about these tryouts was that everyone was being given the honest chance to exhibit their individual strengths. Continually impressed with all this younger talent....especially Beau!!!! (who'd been shouting something, but she'd been so focused on controlling her broom that she'd missed it), the blonde felt completely comfortable throwing herself right into the middle of it all. And it didn't feel like showing off, which was the important thing! Everyone was so naturally skilled that she was FORCED to give it everything she had, and....to be honest...that felt really good.

Merlin, why hadn't they brought back quidditch sooner?! She was having a blast up here!

Watching intently as Callum went head to head with one of their Keeper hopefuls, Olivia was practically beaming at the visual display. He was fairly gifted, she had to admit, but Liv remembered vividly what a fantastic flyer Char was, as well. Ugh, it was so strange being at Hogwarts without Charlotte. And Chloe. If she survived these tryouts, perhaps she'd drop them both a line or two. Catch up, though they were both probably neck-deep in their own lives at the moment. Quite honestly, she couldn't wait to join them, but....this final year first and what have you.

Waiting for the quaffle to be pitched out to her, Olivia hovered in place, grasping the handle of her broom one-handed. This adrenaline was crazy... The anticipation of what was going to happen. When would it be thrown? How high or low? Butterflies had long since erupted in her lower abdomen, as she tried to anticipate the ball. What Would Alice Fischer Do?.....Beat someone within an inch of their life with her bat, but....Liv wasn't going out for Beater, so... Erm, that wasn't going to work. What Would Carter Phillips Do.... was probably more appropriate. Hmmmmm. Without any warning, the quaffle was suddenly soaring in her direction! With an excited squeal, the blonde barreled forward in a mad dash to put herself directly beneath it. CAUGHT! BOOYAH! Tucking it safely between her body and arm, she took off directly towards the hoops, resolved to play chicken with the Keeper contender if need be. If only she'd been kidding...

Eyes fiercely narrowed, she flattened herself against the oak wood; showing absolutely no signs of slowing or pulling out of the death-defying pace....... Well, until she got close enough to score, anyway. Braid whipping behind her helplessly, Olivia waited until the last possibly moment to pull upward on her broom handle; effectively stopping the momentum in its tracks. With a brilliantly wind-blown smile, she took aim and hurtled the quaffle towards the the leftmost hoop, trying not to take too much pleasure in the panicked expression of the Keeper. Perhaps it was a ploy? Maybe they had it all under control and were only playing at being shook™.... but either way....

That had been a good one, right?
