A tall violet-haired girl dressed in green flying robes - newly aquired from Hogsmeade - stepped confidently onto the quidditch pitch, broom in hand and periodot eyes flashing in anticipation. It was bright and just a little windy, perfect conditins for practice. Admitedly, it hadn't been long since Sylph had learnt to fly, but in that single training session she had found herself to be a natural, at least according to Aidana. Plus, she was talented at most muggle sports, particularly the contact ones; taking up quidditch was just one more step. She swung the school broom over her shoulder and grinned at the Gryffindor prefect.
"Sylph O'Dell," she said lazily, her voice, as always, a peculiar blend of cheerfulness and sarcasm. It didn't mean anything, it was just her voice. "I'll be tryin' out for chaser, if all the positions aren't already taken."
With the same lazy grace as she had hoisted the broom, Sylph swung her leg over the handle and kicked hard off the firm turf, shooting into the air at a rate of knots, leaning forward on the broom to increase her speed. Pulling up at a height level with the central goal hoop, she did a couple of barrel rolls just for the hell of it before pulling out her wand and pointing it at the bright red quaffle that lay on the ground below.
"Accio quaffle! she cried, stuffing her wand away just in time to catch the ball as it hurtled towards her, almost as fast a Sylph herself had previously ascended. She tossed it in the air and caught it once or twice to get the feel for the thing, and then tucked it under her arm in a tight grip. Off she flew, again gripping the handle of the broom hard to make it fast as possible - not very considering the age of the thing. Still, from the ground she looked like a green blur with purple tresses streaming out behind her, and she knew it. A broad dare-devil grin appeared on her face as she headed straight for the centre post, looping around it at terrifying speed three times before streaking towards the other end of the pitch without letting up.
Once there, she pulled up, her hair falling mostly in her eyes, but she didn't let it deter her. Grasping the quaffle firmly in her right hand, she threw it upwards with all the force she could muster, before taking off after it at breakneck speed. Even before it had started to fall she caught it again, spun on her axis and sent it flying through the right goal hoop all in one fluid motion. Just in case they wanted something a bit more special, though, she followed after it, and as it fell went into a dive, grabbing it three feet from the ground before pulling up expertly, hovering in the air with a cheerful grin on her face.
"That alright was it?" she asked chirpily, tossing the quaffle back to Laura as if nothing had happened.

OOC: Well, since this has dissolved into an OOC free for all...I'm back Laurz, and more than happy to show up for games if I can be chaser again. I'm hoping you'll let me get away with being lazy, since you already know that I can RP quidditch? *hopeful grin*

You're obviously a newbie...I didn't bother putting it, since most people know, but all of Addie's pranks are followed by an everlasting charm. It's an experimental charm that's been part of Addie's arsenal since she's been here that prevents whatever the caster did from being undone by anyone besides the caster, and the only people who know how to do it at MH are Addie and Hayz because Addie's guardian is the head of the experimental charms department. Addie learned a whole bunch of experimental charms from her, which aren't available to the public yet.
The girl has more than a little talent in charms, if you haven't noticed.
And, for the record, the chinchilla thing is my signature prank.

Gah... you called me a newbie... ok I am, but still... a little patronising, don't ya think? And there was a conversation me and Hayzie had at some point.. she told me I could turn her into a chinchillla and that she could turn me into a crayon of some description... I forget. Do you have OOC everlasting charms? I thought it was just messin' around... Anyways... nice to meet you Adhara! *waves*

A girl with short brown hair and Hazel-blue eyes walked on to the field looking a bit unwell. "If it is ok i would like to get on the house team a beater if available."she said with a broom in her hand and a club in the other. "I hope i make the team" she said in in a whisper to herself. Waiting for the team caption to reply she stood there with excitement on her face.

Jenna was fifth to go. She drew a deep breath and then said, "Keeper" in a solid tone. She mounted her simple broom and flew up to the three goal posts, each about fifty feet off the ground. Jenna was still a little unsure of what to do but after watching the others, she had a general idea.
She bewitched a quaffle to fly at the goal post all the way to the right. Jenna quickly made it to the right side from the left and block the quaffle with the palm of her hand. She then bewitched several quaffles to fly at the goal posts all at once. Her blue-grey eyes now closely resembled hawk eyes. She blocked every single quaffle with grace and now looked very comfortable with the three hoops.
Jenna then did a quick three laps around the pitch with astounding speed, and then broke into a dive which she pulled out of right before she hit the ground. She then bewitched a buldger to only try and hit her but she avoided easily. She set the buldger down and then did a few more blocks. She didn't let any quaffles through but there were a few close calls. By the time she was done, her hands were sore from riding and many of the quaffles had gotten scarped up. Once she had put her broom down she gave Laura a toothy smile and awaited her opinions.

A tall, white-haired girl walked onto the Quidditch pitch clutching her Nimbus 2000 and a bat. Walking up to Laura, she inclined her head shortly. "Excuse me, Prefect," Aurora said softly, "but I would like to try out for the position of Beater. Are both Beater posotions filled?" Looking over at Sen, she smiled. "So you want to be a Beater, too? Cool."
