Aaron was knew and a little ill but he loved Quidditch so he thought he would try out just the same anyway. He walked down with his Nimbus 2001, it might be obsolet but he loved it, it had never failed him once yet. When he walked into the pitch he saw them already in the air and he mounted his broom to raise to the height Artemis and Sharade were "Hi my name is Aaron Halliwell, i would like to try for Chaser if that is ok?"

Sharade let a slow smile spread across her face. She swivelled so that her feet were dangling over the edge. She pushes off, and falls. Not far, for the broom was under her feet. Her Roman-styled sandals didn't slip, so she pooled gracefully to sit on her broom.
"Good job Artemis, but I think that the team needs competant Beaters." She swept her eye lids down surveying Aaron. She gave a short nod.
"Sharade sâ Diablo." Turning the broom, she jabbed her hand out to the Quaffle nestled in Artemis' arms, and watched as it fell.
"Mine." She breathed, and dove down to the ground. Surpassing the Quaffle, she reached the ground and reversed, kicking off as soon as she touched the ground. Rushing up, she met the Quaffle head on, and trapped it in her arms. She continued rising until she was where she was before, next to the boy and Artemis. Silently she held out the ball.
"Yours?"

Xavier, although now a part of the Lycan Tunnels, still held ties in Slytherin House. Walking down from the grounds, his freshly-polished Firebolt tucked under his arm. Watching from a distance, he saw a few students flying about already, beating around the Bludgers or tossing the Quaffle through the hoops. Xavier quickly mounted from a distance and sped towards the Pitch, anxious to show his skills. He stopped at the edge of the field and greeted his fellow Slytherin students.
"Greetings, everyone, Kage," he said as he nodded at his best friend. "Hope I'm not too late for tryouts. Anyone take the Seeker position yet? My Lycan senses seem to be an advantage in that field. That, or maybe a Chaser. My situational awareness is very good, too."
Xavier hopped onto his broom and sped around the base of the field, skimming the grass. He sensed something coming up behind him fast and quickly pulled up, performing a shallow loop and half-turn as he attempted to see what was behind him. He stopped as a Bludger screamed past, slamming into the grass and dirt below. The Bludger dislodged itself from the field, leaving a long skid mark in the otherwise prestine Pitch.
Kage...was that you? he messaged to his friend silently.
Finishing his lap around the field, he hopped off of his broom as he began to slow down, skidding to a halt in front of the group not flying at the moment.

Hikalyn hadn't yet mounted her broom, instead just watching the other players go through their rounds from a seat on the dewy ground, not really caring for the moisture that her robes soaked up. Her Firebolt rested easily across her lap, and she watched with a slight smile on her face; it was good to see so much skill, to go along with the interest. And with Ace gone--it was a rather callous way to think about it, really, but she'd hardly known him anyway--with Ace gone, that may be one less obstruction to having their own House name engraved on the Cup this year.
Strangely enough, the position of Seeker was one that people had shown surprisingly little interest in, so she blinked a bit when one of the others trying out, a girl she did not know, introduced herself as a Seeker. Still, Kalyn wasn't really worried about her position on the team. She had played both Chaser and Keeper as well as Seeker, and she could honestly say that she'd done pretty well in both positions. She would be just as happy playing one of those as Seeker--Chaser, in particular, she enjoyed.
Artemis hadn't put her through her rounds yet, but figuring she could get up on her broom just to enjoy the feeling of being airborne if nothing else, she stood, swung one leg over her Firebolt, and rose easily into the air, hovering a foot or two above the ground. She was careful not to get in the way of the players in the midst of their tryouts, but she was as anxious as any to get flying again. She cast Artemis an inquiring look, waiting for a cue.

Artemis fought the impulse of rolling her eyes as Sharade jabbed the quaffle out of her arms. Instead of chasing the other girl, she flew over to Kalyn. "Hey Kalyn, do you still want to be seeker this year?" Artemis said softly, still half watching the other players on the pitch. She was glad so many people had come, last year the turnout for tryouts had been rather dismal. "Maybe you want to play Keeper or Chaser... Anyways, think about it." With that, Artemis flew to the edge and began forming the team as best she could in her mind.

ooc: Okay everyone, the dates for the matches have but posted, so we'd better get started on actual practices. The team will be as follows:
Chasers: Kalyn, Sharade, Xavier Beaters: Marina, Kody Keeper: IF ANY OF THE RESERVES WANT THIS SPOT, PLEASE CONTACT ME. Seeker: Artemis
Reserves: Rose Arcana, Aaron Halliwell, Kage
Congrats to the people who made the team! If you didn't get the spot you quite wanted, go ahead and ask me about it. PLEASE COME TO ALL PRACTICES AND GAMES, EVEN IF YOU ARE A RESERVE. We want to win this year, and I think we have a good chance. See you on the field!
