And see? Emmalyn was already perking up considerably, sharing her tips and expertise. Granted, she was also scaring the pants off Chloe, what with her talk of 'professional' players at Hogwarts. Trying out wasn't a lark, and Chloe took it seriously, but she didn't want to die for someone else's ambition. She wanted to have fun and play well. "Chaser, I guess, but I'll be happy with anything. Not Beater, I think, since it's a bit violent for me, but I would play it if asked."
"I think you will do brilliantly." She nodded her head with complete confidence.
"Chaser is a great position. You just need to trust you team and not worry about the bludgers that might be aiming for your head." She giggled a bit.
"Really though, if you trust the beaters to protect you, you can zip across the field a score much easier." She hoped it was the same for her team as it was on the Huffelpuff team. Derf had never let her get hit by any of the bludgers. He was a fantastic beater, so she never worried.
"Are you friends with any of the other Ravenclaw's that are trying out?" It always helped to be friends with the other team members. Her best friends were on the team with her last term, and she hoped they would all make the team again for the current term.
"Friends make playing a lot more fun." Chloe seemed like a nice girl, so she hoped she had friends trying out for the team with her. She shrugged
"Either way, I'd be happy to practice with you any time you would like."
