SPOILER!!: Maxie/Ronan

Aaron looked between the two younger boys, the "small smile" blossoming into a much more substantial one. Of course, since the youngest Botros spat rainbows, he didn't quite catch the underlying tension with his new (potential) teammates. To him, they simply appeared full of nerves. He'd been the same way before his first tryout. He'd shown up late, had stumbled all over himself, nearly fell of his broom no less than five times... It had been the epitome of a "hot mess".

He could empathize.

....and because the two hadn't been speaking when he appeared, yes, Aaron assumed the words were meant for him. So, no worries!

"Yes, I was on the team last term... This will be my third year, actually." The adoration he felt for the Hufflepuff team radiated brightly on the fifth year's face. This team, and their Captain, was amazing. They'd won a championship and everything. It had been an honor, and he hoped to be chosen again. "What about you? Do you have experience?" The kid was wearing some seriously nice kneepads. And sure, he seemed torn up with nerves, but one didn't just wear nice kneepads for no reason. Aaron believed in him.

...and Ronan was a cool name. "I'm Aaron. It's nice to meet you... Do you follow all the professional teams, or are you Falmouth all the way?" He was all decked out in Falmouth gear. That was probably foolish to ask. And the broom... Aaron had never had the luxury of being all-in on one team. He had family and friends scattered throughout the league, and team trading happened a lot. "You look ready to kill it! ...What position are you going for?"

There was also a long line of under and over flags, over land and water, and a whole lot of corona rings made out of bubbles charmed to float in the air. Not only that, but some big balloons floated apparently harmlessly over the water.... for now. But! She had to go and fetch her future team! She left her broom, her clipboard, and her whistle behind at the lake and jogged over to the pitch. Sure enough there were a few there already!

"Hey Aaron!" And what were those firsties names again? Oh yeah! "Ronan, Maxie, great to see ya! Hey you guys! So, surprise! We're actually gonna do our tryouts over by the lake, but this is a perfect chance for a warm-up so lets all run over there!" She grinned at them."I'll give you lot a head start." Yes because she was putting a note up on the nearest goal post saying to meet her over at the lake, so that any stragglers knew where to go too.

And then she took off at a run, trying to beat them all there.

ooc: Okay I figured things out, thanks for your patience guys and sorry for the communication confusion! Everyone should jog over to the lake where the tryouts are actually gonna be held

. When they get there they will see a big (and obvious) obstacle course set up that they can't miss. For any stragglers there's a note to say where to go.

Photos!: the tryouts at the lake

.... And their conversation was being cut short since Cap'n Bell had finally made an appearance! ..... With excellent news, it would seem! He'd thought it was suspicious that nothing had been set up before they'd arrived. She was always doing something fun and innovative for them, and he hadn't seen that changing anytime soon.

He snorted a laugh, ruffling his hair into a spiky mess. It was impossible not to have a small crush on the girl. She was just...great. He was blushing, pretty sure. "Oh, you are on!"

...Before he took off, though, he glanced to Ronan and...Maxie, Bel had just called him. "We can get hot chocolate after and finish talking, yeah?" With that he was off, not completely pushing the peddle to the metal. He wanted Maxie and Ronan to keep up with him, after all. Because it was more fun that way!

Something Aaron was still working on, was keeping his breathing regulated as he ran. He always forgot to pace himself. So, he started slowing down as he neared the lake, keeping it at an easy speed. He didn't really care about beating anyone. Not like that..... Oh, wow.

He did push himself the rest of the way, feet pounding against the ground as he cheered the obstacle course. This was about to be a lot of fun.

Pointedly, willfully ignoring. What else could he do after the feast debacle or the dorm-room debacle? Maxie gripped the handle of his broom tightly, his eyes now fixed on the golden hoops high above him and the other two. He jumped a little as the older boy greeted him- them- WHY WAS HE ALWAYS THERE TO BE LUMPED IN? - but didn’t look over least he catch his dorm-mates eye. “H-hey.” He said, clearing his throat uncomfortably. His broom (a Shooting Star Mock 5) was a well-appreciated tether to reality and yknow, the ground. “W-were you on the t-team before?” Max asked, still averting his gaze. He was suddenly worried the older boy wouldn’t realize his words were directed toward him- or, worst yet, Ronan would think he was asking him. UgughhgugGjgughh.

"Hello," Ronan greeted him, probably the most mellow he's been at Hogwarts so far. Older kids............... kinda scared him. They knew so much and they had every reason to look down at him and he just wanted everyone to like him and erase their memories of the feast and- He Who Mostly Doesn't Exist is speaking. Ronan hoped it wasn't at him. "I'm Ronan... what's your name?" Aaron looked between the two younger boys, the "small smile" blossoming into a much more substantial one.
