"Nice," he nodded, relaxing back on his broom.
And no wonder he didn't notice the hair before. The guy was a transfer...and he probably had different hair then come to think of it. Horrible decision coming to Hogwarts, really. "Ah, Ryder," he returned, his slight grin never wavering as the older Slytherin slipped up somewhat. He'd seen every second of that and it was glorious to witness. "You should go green next."

Speaking of, was Patrick ready to get this thing going? Also, WHY did he look so nervous?
Yeah, Ryder witnessed that...but Lucas stayed grinning and just ruffled his hair in false confidence.
"Ryder. Nice to know your name." He nodded.... "
I think...green would awful on me...but perhaps. Maybe for our first game. If I make the team," he added quickly at the end because he didn't wanna' come off like...overly confident or big-headed.
House spirit, yeah? Lucas' dark eyes widened at the other guy.
"I'm Lucas, by the way....I don't think I know your name?" Again, he was only a year here at Hogwarts and the kid could have been a transfer for all Lucas knew.
"But I'll think on it if I make the team." Still a little doubtful the color would suit his features.
SPOILER!!: Captain Pat

TWEET for the players attention. Amplifying his voice he began to speak,
"return to the ground now for quidditch tryouts." There was his back bone. He had this. There was zero reason to even question his abilities anymore. He was listening to his housemates talk about...
LawrenceLucas' hair. He supposed green wouldn't be a bad idea, however the ever erinaceous Scrimgeour might deduct house points, but he supposed that was something for his prefects to worry about.
Turning his attention back to those on the ground he smiled,
"alrighty. Today we're goin' to be doin' something a smidge different than years past. I figured since many of us are new, or transfers rather than have you pick a position now, we're going to be participating in a skills challenge." He grinned at his brilliant idea. Well it was mostly brilliant if everyone was a good sport about it.
"So for this we're going to go through different tasks and fun events to see who is the best at each skill set. The first seeker drill is a broom agility course to see how fast you can dodge sudden obsticals like the players who randomly pop up durin' a game." He pointed over toward the section of the field that he had gotten help in charming the dummies to fly around and bump into the seeker for that round.
"The first station for beaters is going to be an apple smash game. You're going to have apples thrown at you and whoever smashes the most apples wins. Even if you aren't wanting to be a beater" He loved playing this game as a child and would like to see his beaters able to smash as many as they possibly could. He figured even if the person wasn't their beater they would have fun.
"For the chasers you will be playing an egg toss while flying. This is to make sure you have soft hands when catching the quaffle in the air." Although he was pretty sure most of them would think it was stupid. He really didn't care.
"And for the Keeper skills, we will be playing dodge ball collectively as a wrap up skill with all members trying out."
His hands went to his hips and he smiled out at the group. He really did have this whole captain thing down pat.
"We're going to rotate through all but the keeper. Keeper will be the final skill set to be tested. Any questions?" OOC: Hi friends, we'll likely be moving on in a day or two if we can, you can post about each skill set in a post or start and just meander through each skill set with your teammates. Get interactive it's fun. Also if you've been lurking, join in because this is fun. Don't forget to fill out the survey at the top as well.
But Patrick landed and was suddenly sounding bossy for NO REASON AT ALL especially since half of them had landed
before them. Lucas eyed him a bit but just nodded; he wasn't a snarky fellow unless you were Flynn Kowalski, and thankfully that guy was loooooong gone from here.
"I'll go chaser first--" he said quickly before anyone else could, verbally elbowing his way in as he hopped into his broom and took off to CATCH SOME EGGS! He was nervous because...that sounded so bloody hard.
"Anyone else wanna' throw some eggs with meeeee?" he called out from the ~air.
