 we've been here the whole time ;) Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Once they were done warming up, Gunnar was beginning to feel a little more confident. Sure, he was still one of the younger and smaller of the Snakes trying out for the team, and probably wasn't as experienced as some of the ones who played last year, but he had his fair share of recreational experience and was a decent flyer.
He wondered if they'd be playing an actual match during their tryouts, but an obstacle course sounded pretty cool too. The twelve year old stopped to get a drink and watched Skylar demonstrate all the components.
Marshmallows....? Huh. That was a kind of interesting addition, figuring it tested seeker skills, though he wondered why not catching with hands since that was what a seeker would be doing. But he didn't question it for long before picking up his broom. He wouldn't mind a little snack.
Hula hoops were first and, after watching a couple others go through that part before him, he mounted his broom and took off for that area. He thought he was at least a good flyer, so hopefully this wouldn't be too difficult.
He managed to fly through the first hoop with relative ease, but tried to maneuver his broom a little too quickly to adjust for the second hoop, throwing him a bit off balance. Trying to recover without falling off his broom, he missed that second hoop as it came at him, but decided to keep going and got his bearings about him a little better as he guided himself through the third, then the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth, getting easier as he got the hang of it. Not too bad.
That part of the course done, he flew down to grab a beater's part for the next drill.
