Tryouts were starting! Curiously, Cordelia looked over at the trunk that Anna had brought with her. Maybe the quidditch balls were in there. What would they be doing? Cordelia took a few moments to adjust the settings on her insulin pump for doing exercise. She then pulled out her blood sugar testing kit from her bag, put a clean test strip into her meter, pricked her finger with the lancet device, and squeezed a drop of blood onto the test strip. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Good to go. Cordelia put away her testing kit and put her bag down so she could participate in the warm up. The first year tried to copy the movements of the quidditch captain as Anna did her stretches. She leaned forward and touched her toes and held that position for a while. After that she grabbed her right ankle and pulled it up behind her and held that for ten seconds, and repeated the same exercise with her left leg. Without stopping her stretches, Cordelia answered Anna’s question. ”I’m Cordelia Winklebleck, I’m a first year, and I’m not really sure but I think I’d like to try out for seeker and chaser.” There were many positions that would be fun to play. Really Cordelia just wanted to get the chance to learn how to play quidditch, and hopefully make the team and be able to play in real matches. Cordelia went down into a lunge with her right leg out front bent at 90 degrees and her left knee almost touching the ground behind her. Then she switched positions to have her left leg in the front. Getting up, Cordelia reached her arms up to the sky as high as she could reach and slowly spread them out to her sides and lowered them. Standing with her arms at her sides, she did rolled her shoulders in forward circles and then switched to rolling backwards. By the time they moved on to the next part of tryouts, she would be all warmed up and ready to fly!
