Rolling his shoulders a little, Józef turned his attention to the Professor. Of course, this morning at Chaser tryouts had been tough, but this was his domain. Colin MacKenzie was everything Jó could hope to be in a Keeper - a literal living legend. And he was about to judge his ability. But the Gryffindor wouldn't let the nerves get to him. He couldn't.

Individually defending the hoops whilst the dummies acted as Chasers. It sounded simple enough, but Jó eyes the dummies suspiciously even so: it couldn't be that easy, so he knew that these dummies were charmed to be good. He didn't bother watching the other Keepers, though, instead focusing on warming himself up and getting ready to be the BEST Keeper Colin MacKenzie had seen since he last looked into the mirror.

Had the Professor asked if there were any questions, Józef would have no doubt said, any tips?, but for once the boy kept quiet until it was his turn to kick off from the ground and defend the hoops.
Another Keeper tryout complete, another one to go. The metallic dummies that had been present since the earlier tryouts were still present, continuing with their flying as another person was called to enter the scoring area.

The Quaffle was still being tossed from dummy to dummy to dummy. With no one present in the scoring area, however, they had no reason to venture toward the hoops. Faster and faster the Quaffle was tossed to and fro, preoccupying themselves until they were triggered to dash straight for the goal hoops...
