Bloody Darkness: A Hogwarts RP [[Pg-13/Accepting in OOC/Started]]

Selene smiled and waved. "Hi!" she yelled up to Elena.

She concentrated on the task ahead. She must make the team.She was on the team last year! How hard could it be?

To be chaser, you've got to just concentrate on the Quaffle. Score. Quaffle. Score. Selene was awfully uptight about Quidditch. Her mother loved it and always wanted her to be the best player, and wanted her to play.

Her father was a muggle. He couldn't care less.

So she must please her mother!

Luke stepped foreword. "Is it okay to tryout for two things?". He asked, wondering if he was going to have to pick. He paused, but then hoisted his broomstick, flying up into the air holding onto it from below, but then pulling himself up onto it so he was sitting sidesaddle, or sidestick, it depends on if you want to compare the broomstick to a horse, or keep the broomstick as a broomstick.

[DarkAngel787]

The captain looked over at him. "Sure but I'm going to choose whichever one you're better at so you better like both of the things you're trying out for equally!"

Selene smiled at Luke. "You'll be fine. You're going for keeper?" she asked curiously. "Cool. Go!"

 

The captains looked at them all. "Wannabe chasers, line up here! We're going to shoot Quaffles at them!"

[Compass]

Luke smiled and gave a barrel roll on his broom. "Thanks!". He spun past the ground, and then spiraled up to the hoops, loving his first time on a broomstick in a long time, ever since he had started flying around the backyard, he hadn't been able to ride his dreamcatcher untill the months at hogwarts. But it was sort of like riding a bike, you could never forget it once you learned. Of course, there you go again, making up metaphors. How is that you can compare a broomstick to a horse and a bike? or perhaps those where similes, using like or as.

[Luna Lovegood]

Sarah was down at the Quiditch pitch to watch tryouts. None of them felt like giving up the time, despite being pretty good at flying. They rather'd just watching the matches and cheering on Ravenclaw. "I hope we have a good team this year. We never win." sighed Harry.

 

"So? It's just a game. It doesn't matter who wins or loses-" Isis began.

 

"Yeah, we know. But it does. Girls just don't understand quiditch." Adam said. The boys leaned forward to get a better look.

 

"Boys will be boys." sighed Sarah.And how true that was. The teams were dominated by boys, with only a few girls. So much for gender equality, she thought.

[DarkAngel787]

((COMPASS. SHORTPOSTER. EDIT YOUR POST. ADD IN SOMETHING.

Please. I do'nt want Rinne or Shadius to come in.))

 

Selene shooted up into the air on her Nimbus 2001. She grabbed one of the Quaffles and did a dive for the ground, only to come back up. She looked around and saw where Luke was, and zoomed forth.

She shot the Quaffle at him, hoping that he would be able to block it.

 

"All Chasers, shoot at will! Keepers, keep the quaffles OUT!" the captain yelled, but the others knew what they were doing already, so they had already started.

[The Final Messenger]

Virgil watched accordingly from his seat in the bleachers, he got bored so he walked out of the stadium, looked around abit, and ran towards the lake and sat down in the grass. "Glacio," Virgil said freezing the water in the lake, while walking to the center, and thawing the rest while he sat on his own personal island, I can always think clearly here, he thought twirling a strand of his hair with a bored look upon his face.

[Pegasasu]

Valarie was watching the Quidditch tryouts very quietly. There were some good players on the field trying out for the Gryffindor team and there were others that were not as good. She was barely paying attention to the players, though. Every once in a while, somebody would do something pretty well, Valarie would look up, and then she would go back to pretending to pay attention to the game. She recognized a few wizards and witches by their faces. But she wouldn't talk to them. She didn't talk to anybody. She liked the effect that she had on most people. The effect of chilling people to the bone. It gave her a nice reputation.

[The Final Messenger]

Virgil got bored of thinking to himself so he stoo up and said, "Glacio" which froze the lake again, it'll thaw naturally in today's hot sun he thought walking towards the Quidditch field. He took the stairs to the bleachers and sat down by any random person who happened to be Valerie and started watching with the strangest expression of distance, boredum, and intrigue all in one look, he then started to quietly hum.

[DarkAngel787]

Selene looked around and saw another girl on the pitch. She didn't recognize them.

As soon as the keeper tryouts finished, next were the beaters. Selene landed smoothly and hopped off her broom. "hi!" she said cheerfully to the girl Valarie, though she didn't know her name. She felt the faint sense of freezing-ness but she ignored it.

 

"Beater wannabes, line up! I'll release the bludgers. Grab your bats and head up!" The captain shouted.

[ArtemisFowl]

Jecht hoped that they were kidding when they said he was the next to be "attacked". He had a feeling they weren't. Jecht didn't think about it, he just watched as they tried out for a spot on the team. He saw Selene talking to another girl from Gryffindor. He didn't know her name but he'd seen her before. He usually saw her alone. Jecht had awakened early to watch some people fly around on cleaning supplies. He debated on going over there, to just sitting there. Really he had nothing better to do. After a minute he decided to just stay where he was until the try outs were done.

[Compass]

Luke had done very well in the tryouts for keeper, managing to deflect all the quaffles but two. The most eventful thing was when he had had to swoop into the boy's locker room still on his broomstick to wait out a vision, wondering if it was new or not. He benignly stared at the tryouts, but then realized that he wasn't staring at the beaters, he was staring bleakly at Selene. As soon as he realized this, he quickly landed and place his head in his hands. Why had he been staring at...at Selene?

[The Final Messenger]

Virgil looked around and saw that Luke had his hands to his face, he wondered what was wrong and walked over. "Hey Luke," Virgil said. "Wha- why do you have your head in your hands? Sure you might have missed a quaffle or two, but it's not like that's something to be sad about," Virgil said, oblivious to the fact that Luke wasn't sad at all. Virgil looked at the beaters, and saw Jecht, "Looks like Jecht's up, eh"

 

OOC: I like the word 'Quaffle' it's like an aawesome way to say waffle

[DarkAngel787]

The captain had blown his whistle. "Chasers, line up! You'll be shooting at the keepers again. This time concentrate on making it!"

Selene had looked curiously as Luke had flown away, btu she shook her head and concentrated on Quidditch at that point. She zoomed up on her Nimbus 2001 and grabbed a Quaffle. She looked around and saw an open hoop, so she flew in and scored to the dismay of another keeper wannabe.

She looked over at Luke. "Luke! COme on! Keepers are up!"

[Compass]

Luke sighed to Virgil. "The stress of knowing what is yet ti come is getting to me.". He stood up, and flew up to the hoops a couple of chasers, including Selene, where shooting at. He raised a finger, and made a 'come hitter' gesture. "Have at me.". The other chasers opened fire, and Luke went into a blur of twigs, wood and seer to deflect them all...well, a couple slipped though his fingers, but he felt he had done a satisfactory job.

[DarkAngel787]

Selene decided to go for a different keeper; she had gone for Luke for most of her shots while the captain was evaluating the keepers. Now that he was evaluating the Chasers, she decided to go for different keepers.

She smiled as another one of her tosses made it through the ring.

After all had tried out, it was the seekers time.

"Okay! All seekers stand forth! There are going to be two snitches up in the air. Try to get one. That's it! Begin!" The captain ordered.

[Compass]

Luke barely had time to catch his breath, before beginning to zoom around in circles with the other seekers. Where was that little golden flicker of light that would win them the game? No, that was a cloud...no, hay was somebody else's broomstick...no, that was a little golden ball with wings....ah, there it goes! And it's gone. he stopped, and huffed to himself. "Alright, now this is just silly. I'm never going to catch the stupid-". He stopped, and spat out a rather wet sinch that flew into his mouth while he was talking. "Well, that was easier then I thought it would be."

[ArtemisFowl]

Jecht watched them flew up into the air again. Why did he come out here again? Oh yes, to "support" his friends. He just smiled and watched them. They better make the team. He thought watching them, his line of sight soon drifted to the girl Selene was talking to before, the girl from Gryffindor. He struggled to remember her name. Jecht couldn't remember half the stuff he was told. It started with a 'V', but that's as close as he got to it.

[DarkAngel787]

Selene grinned as she watched Luke spit it out. That was easy, she thought.

"Results will be posted tomorrow! Good job everyone!" the captain yelled.

Selene walked off the pitchwith Luke. "Brilliant. Spitting it out. I bet they're really pleased that you caught it that way," she joked to Luke, seeing Jecht and waving. "Hey! How come you didn't try out? You would've been good."

She looked around. Maybe Virgil was around too.

[The Final Messenger]

Virgil sighed as Luke went to the field and walked to Jecht and said "You missed the Bathroom Heist last week, and another part of Luke's prophecy, but Selene probably told you this already." He walked over to his seat by Valerie and sat down all the while thinking about the cryptic prophecy about Jecht in the Girl's Bathroom. He shuddered and proceeded to hum the same song as he hummed last time.

[Compass]

Luke felt it nessissary to defend himself. "It was being mean to me! I chased it and chased it, and it kept going away! why doesn't it just fly right into my open mouth-oh wait. I did that already oops.". He waved slightly, but looked intently at Selene. she was pretty, he supposed. he wasn't sure if others saw her that way, but he thought she was. But that was no reason for him to unconsciously stare at her. Luke shook his head, rubbing his eyes.

[DarkAngel787]

"You okay? Well I gotta get changed out of these sweaty clothes. See ya at lunch!" she waved and ran off, waving again at jecht.

She went into the locker room and was utterly bewildered. Now she let it show. Why did Luke keep STARING at her? It was very disconcerting. She shrugged it off. They were friends, after all.

She changed into fresh clothes and walked the rest of the way to the Great hall.

 

((since we're basically all on now, how about we see the ghost?))

[ArtemisFowl]

Jecht, having failed to remember the girl's name, walked down the steps to Selene and Luke. "Nah, you haven't seen me on a broom, and you're lucky you haven't." He said seriously. "Hey, do you know that girl?" He asked Selene glancing back at the lone Gyrffinor girl. "I saw you talking to her earlier." Jecht told her turning back to Selene again, but she was gone. "Oh well. I'll ask her later." He muttered and looked at Luke. "I saw you looking at Selene earlier dude. Huh? Huh?"

[The Final Messenger]

Virgil saw the somewhat tightknit group of his friends and jumped down, cushioning his fall with a slide made of ice. He thawed the slide and said, "Hey what's up everyone?" while twirling afew strands of his hair with a blunt, distant look on his face focused on the castle. Hmmm, something isn't right, he thought putting his other hand on his chin like he was 'the Thinker' statue or something.

[DarkAngel787]

Selene strolled over to them. "Hey...oh my GOD that's the ghost." she screamed, gasping. The ghost had flitted right in front of her. She could swear it was the one that she had seen earlier.

"We've gotta follow it. It could lead to the bottom of this bloody thing!"

She turned to the other three of them. "Come on, we've gotta follow it!"
