Some of the first ones to the first tryout session of the season came as little surprise to Professor Adara. As she hovered on her own broom from a safe observation distance, she noted Jan heading to the Chaser and Keeper section, followed by Nadia to block some of his shots. What a relief having someone step in to showcase their keeper skills. Even though she was well aware that Nadia's preferred position was Chaser, it was delightful to see various talents showcased. Not to mention she wouldn't need to offer makeshift keeper to block their shots, but she might offer a tweak to make things more challenging. Seeing Ezra join into the Chaser/Keeper tirade was enough for the moment. She had a surprise in store, but perhaps holding that until day two or three might be better.

As she observed Ezra and Jan and Nadia, her attention shifted when she heard the familiar sound of a bludger making contact with a bat. Eyes drifting to the sound, she took note of Beauden's presence. It was always refreshing to see new talent in the works and also showed that prior quidditch experiences didn't matter much. She did want to test all their reflex abilities in the air, but would wait a little longer until they got warmed up first.

Seeker hopefuls was a little challenging to test their skills but hopefully she'd still be able to gather enough intel. There was the slytherin seeker hopeful, Professor Paton's youngest and although she'd been surprised to see her tryout application if her mother was any indication, she had no doubts that Bryony would do well.

Emma was readyyyyyy !!! Well not really. She was a complete ball of anxiety but she also knew that the sooner she got tryouts over with, the better she'd feel. Even if she didn't make the team or only made reserve, she felt confident that she will have given this her all. While she didn't have her own broom yet, as it was quite impromptu that she was even trying out, the fourth year felt fully confident that the school brooms would serve her well in tryouts. After all, speed was something that would come with time, but there was more abilities to be showcased, such as agility and her skills of being able to visually see small objects. Things that she could do with any broom - hopefully. All she knew was that she couldn't control the fact that she had to use the school brooms and was grateful that at least they weren't completely outdated.

Waving to Professor Adara, she mounted and kicked off into the sky to where she'd be able to get a good vantage point as to spotting the golden snitch. Tricky little boogers those were, but she also knew that sometimes just staying still and observing the skies would be the best way to find it. Let it come to her and hopefully no bludgers.

ooc: just a reminder, still time to jump in on the opportunity for quidditch (or gobstones, but tryouts aren't required for those!)... You have about 5 days left!!
