| | Ravenclaw Tryouts Do you have a knack for flying? Would you like to be on a team with some of the most talented students in school? Do you enjoy having fun? Are you a member of Ravenclaw house? If any of these apply to you, perhaps you should contemplate joining the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team! If playing Quidditch or making life-long memories and friendships is your dream, sign the clipboard that is going around! This is an open tryout. For those who do not care to try out, you may support your fellow classmates in the viewing area as soon as tryouts begin!
Remember: past members do not yet have a spot on the team; all positions are currently open. A combination of flexibility, participation, talent, good sportsmanship, and a positive attitude are needed for all positions on the team.
After you sign the clipboard, you will need to wait until Elise Fairfield (iceblossom22), your Ravenclaw Captain, explains when tryouts will be held. Quote:

Aidan had to be incredibly unfocused for Elise to spot the snitch before he did, hovering near the foot of a nearby goal hoop. Speaking of goal hoops, Ethan and Bee seemed to decide to cooperate on this one. Ethan passing the quaffle to Bee and the latter attempting a shoot that fell just outside the hoop. Maybe next time, guys.
Mo sent a Bludger towards Aidan, nice and clean and knocking him in the stomach. The Seeker in question almost immediately doubled over and choked a little bit. OUCH, Mo. That had to hurt. She was so proud.
"FINALLY!" Now who'd said that? Question 7: Which books had Hermione read that mentioned Harry in the beginning of Philosopher's Stone? |

Aidan and Bee were being incredibly lethargic right now, compared to their performances earlier. It made Elise wonder just what they'd done with that extra hour of spare time she'd given them earlier. An hour was enough time for food AND a nap, if she wasn't mistaken and these two were acting like they got neither.
With a nice bat swing, Mo sent a bludger Ethan's way (even though Elise knew he wasn't aiming that way at all) and would have hit had Ethan not flown higher and shot the quaffle through the center hoop.
HORAAAY! Question 8: What colour robes does Gilderoy Lockhart wear when he attends the Sorting Ceremony? |

Oh, so Mo was taking a break and just hovering for now? Fine by her. So long as no bludgers hit anyone while he decided to nap with his eyes open. Bee had decent possession of the quaffle for a bit, trying to figure out how to shoot at the hoops with Mo conviniently blocking the way and ending up dropping the quaffle. Ethan picked it up, though and sent it towards the hoops only to be intercepted by Elise moments before it would have hit Mo on the head.
And look! There was Aidan making a comeback. "I'm the king of the wooooorld!" he sang, victoriously waving the golden ball in his fist. Question 9: What is Golpalott’s Third Law? |

S - The antidote for a blended poison will be equal to more than the sum of the antidotes for each of the separate components.

B - the antidote for a blended poison cannot simply be created by finding the antidotes to each separate poison in the blended whole and mixing them together

Ethan had a nice start, catching the quaffle as Elise threw it back at him. He zoomed towards the hoops, took aim and was promptly hit by a bat to the stomach. Dropping the quaffle, he stared at the beater for a long time before uttering two words.
"Sweet Beezus." The phrase was definitely catching.
The sweet Ravenclaw in question was the one who managed to catch the quaffle, tossing it carelessly at the hoops. It clanged against the side of one and fell through the wrong way, meaning no score. Perhaps if Bee had actually exerted a bit more aiming, it would have, but there was no use crying over spilt milk. She hadn't scored and that was fine. It didn't make her any less of a good chaser.
A blur of bronze and blew whizzed past Elise's field of vision and by the time she had refocused, Aidan had caught the snitch. YAY! Question 10: Which two nations are the most persistent offenders of Clause 73 of the International Code of Wizarding Secrecy? |

Mo looked like he was aiming a bludger at Ethan but ended up hitting the bludger the wrong way and causing Aidan to quite nearly fly into a goal hoop. All that could be worked on, she figured. Work, work and sufficient food. That's what this team needed.
Ethan took aim and hit, his arm staying there as the ball flew in cleanly through the side hoop. It was such a perfect toss that Elise had to applaud, tapping the clipboard she was holding with her free hand. That equaled applause, obviously.
Nodding at what could be her team in a week, she captured the bludger and took the snitch from a very helpful Aidan before decending. Once on the ground, she smiled. "That was amazing, everyone. Anyone who needs help with their injuries, you can find me..." but she really just wanted some food in. After a nice shower. "But have some food, shower, do your thing. I'll see you guys later." OOC: No more tryouts, guys. I know you're tired and I'm tired. Rosters are due soon, though and I'm going to have a lot of thinking to do with them. Eat, sleep, do whatever you have to do. Just remember that you're awesome and I love you. |
