INReview Quidditch Team try outs

Games Forum

Yes, we are having Quiddich team tryouts. Come in, try out and we will have some matches. I will be the voice of Hagrid.

Erm, hey...so....how do we tryout??

I think you should start by saying what position you want to try out for and we will let Kris give us the details.

I will be the Mistress who oversee's the games, and will be the judge on calls of fouls and misconduct.

If you are interested in trying out for one of our INReview Quidditch teams, please go to the field, and you will have to play a few different positions so that we can see where you will best fit.

She took Madame Hootch's job.

"Blimey! I told that Hootch dat wearin' so much leather was bound ter chaff. S'no wonder she canna play"

*goes down to the pitch with her Nimbus* I'm here for the tryouts...

Pssst... Rachel, I need to speak with you before the tryouts.

Ok.

Well, I wanted to give this to you, since you're my apprentice. Think of it as a gift, kinda like from a mother to her daughter.

*hands over a wrapped package and watches as Rachels slowly unwraps it, with eyes the size of saucers*

It's a Firebolt - Model T (it's better than a regular Firebolt, because I've improved on it).



"Go get 'em, my girl... make me proud"

Oh my.....ohhhhh my.......

Thank you! Thank you!!!!


Wow...

http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/mhihi.gif You're welcome, kiddo.

On with the tryouts?

Yes, get on out there and show them how you do in each position, and then, come back down here and tell me where you like it the best.

*Mounts her broom and shoots up in the air. Chaser Tryouts first. Two other flyers come out. They throw the ball to each other and try to get it past the keeper, and into the hoops*

Aaaargh!! Stop saving my shots!!

*Keeper practice now. She flies in front of the goal hoops while the other two try and get shots past her. She manages 7 out of 10*

Cool! I'm not too bad at-*gets hit on the head with the quaffle*Ow!! Hey....at least I saved it!!

*Beater tryouts next. Someone bewitches targets to float up in the air and move around. She takes up her beaters bat as a bludger zooms towards her*

*hitting each target* THAT one is Malfoy! THAT one is Goyle! THAT one is Crabbe! And THAT one is Parkinson!! I like this....does that make me violent??!

*seeker tryout. She is thrown golfballs and manages to catch most of them....mostly due to the amazing-ness of her broom*

*flies back down to Profeeor T* How'd I do?

"BLIMEY! Dat girl can hit harder than Grawp playin' with de centaurs!"

O.K. I will try out since we don't have many people here.

*Keeper "eeek! Balls keep coming at me!

*Beater-you want me to hit with a bat? I could get a splinter!

*Chaser-tries to throw, and it , well, flobberworms have more strenght

*Seeker- oooh what a cute little ball. I think I shall follow it, keep it. Who hoo! And I shall call you squishy and you will be my squishy.

Rachel, you made me very proud!

So, where would you like to play? It's up to you. You've proven yourself.



Sherry, you scare me. That poor snitch will never be the same... squishy!

but he loves me http://pages.prodigy.net/rogerlori1/emoticons/sad1.gif

so do I get to play seeker?

Okay... you can play seeker but, you will NOT be playing with squishy during the matches. That would be cheating. Squishy can go back to the office/room with you.

Of course Proffesor T. Hagrid gave me some sage advice

"Blimey! squishy is needin his exercise! Best ter let him go during games"

No no no... during games, he must be brought to me, for safe keeping. We wouldn't want him getting out and taking out the game snitch, and replacing himself in it's place.

shhh - he thinks he might get to be a game snitch when he grows up.

Not when you're playing though!

So, you've seen Rachel on the Firebolt - Model T... are you working on a Model B?

Oh yes. I have a model B firebolt. It is wicked fast and well, I won't say anymore.

Exactly... wait until you start seeing all the bells and whistles that I added for my "daughter" She's going to beat 'em all. I'm so proud of her, I think that I'm going to cry.

can i be a beater? I like hitting things.

O.K. I think we can take another beater. Look out, Pip is pretty tough.

I'm good at beating, does that count?


Wait... I can't fly on a broom stick though.

GRANT! You know better than that!!!!!

know better than what Kris? I'm good at hitting that darn bludger...

That Kris. I knew you were talking about either the bludger or hitting the skrewts.

Indeed I was those skrewts are fun as heck to whack

"Blimey! Is dat wha happened ter um. Grant is't in their nature ter be scortchin yer britches"

Hagrid... look at me britches! *turns around and flashes the fanny at Hagrid*

Those were expensive, mate.... and your skrewts ruined 'em.

Okay... it's the beater position for you!



Now, shall I place you on the same team as Grant, or against him?

Against!! Against!! I need competition!!!

just making sure, i'm a beater right?

Yes. You can be on my team. Look out, Pip is tough.

Oh, he's goin' down

Zeppelin... pip is a female, and my "daughter" as well as my apprentice. So, be very careful what you try. I'm a very vindictive Deputy Headmistress.

Now Professor T, you can not be taking sides in the matches. We need an impartial referee for the games.

Oh... I will be impartial. I'm just saying, if someone intentionally hurts ANY player, there will be a severe punishment to hand out. Besides, I'm NOT worried about Rachel falling off of her broom. Trust me... it's just not possible.

Um, Pip likes to have a good rough game. She always recovers.

"Blimey! Dat Perfessr T be coddlin' dat girl!"

Oh, trust me... if Rachel does something rough, and unnecessary, she will be punished as well.

I'm sorry. I didn't know, I'm new here. SHE'S going done.

It's okay, zep... I was playing with you.

Zeppelin, we are very happy to have you are part of the HP family here. We kid around ALOT! Kris was just teasing you.

~wipes sweat off forehead~
that was a close one

Is that a challenge?

Oh yeah!

Bring it on!!

Oh, I'll bring it on

Rachel.... there is a difference between doing the required means of your position, and going out of your way to hurt an opponent.

Yeah. I suppose.

I can't be bothered to read throught all of this so can someone please tell me whats going on?

just read KJ's first post
then you will understand.

That's just lazy! Where've you been, I haven't seen you in days! Basically, we're...umm...err...ask Fuscia. I want to try for seeker, but I'm not really sure what to do.

Just read my post when tryed out. You will get the idea.

You jumped in while I was writing that! The last post was aimed at White Tiger.

You did it again! I really need to type quicker.

Yep

Need to be quick if you're going to be a seeker!!

Shut up.

*sniff sniff* She doesn't love me anymore!!

I'm goig to rugby tackle you tomorrow.

Of course I still love you! All that money your Mum's paying me to stay friends with you? Of course I love you. Just kidding. Please don't rugby tackle me, it hurts.

Oliphant said this in post #62

OOOOOH! Who was it?

Wow! I've always wanted to go to Alton Towers! But you went near. And don't worry, it rained back here too. Yes, I live in England.

An old celebrity Pip, you've probably never even heard of them.

Oh and Oliphant I did go to Alton Towers but I had to be unfortunate enought to be there when the schools were having a their end of year trips there.

Yeah, who!

Evil!

I didn't mean to throw your comb on the roof! It was an accident!!

Ok fine the Celebrity I saw was

(gets up for a drink)

(Pace around the room)

(Look at Watch)

ok enough suspence, The celebrity was...Kieth Harris and ORVILLE THE DUCK!

Bad luck about the schools. Was it good anyway? I've heard Air's brilliant.

Wooooo! Orville!!!

Who? I know I'm being thick, and the name rings a bell, but I haven't got a clue.

Air was good but it wa nothing compared to Nemesis, thats their best ride. I recon Oblivion is a waste of time, you que for 20 minutes for a seven second ride, its not worth it.

Orville is a large green duck waering a nappy or Diaper

Ok, i thik we better take this to the off topic thread!

Cuddles the monkey is better than Orville. He makes fun of evrything (to put it politely) and is more aimed at the adults. I was literally almost intears when his Cuddles act was on.

Oops, beat me to that post Pip. Right you are. Lets get back on track.

Who's on the team so far?

I don't know, we will have to wait for KJ.
