Kasamir Aloysius Patrovna Slytherin │ Third Year │ Thirteen Years Old │ Single │ Beater
It was a bit of anticipation Kasamir brought with him to the tryouts for this year’s version of the Slytherin Quidditch team. Last year, he’d had his reservations, especially given the humiliation suffered by the Snakes in his first season with the team, and seeing the attitude their Seeker brought with her. Airing a belief in defeatism was akin to surrendering the season before it even properly began. He doubted his Captain’s wisdom in making their Seeker her Vice-Captain because of her stated belief of a doomed effort, and told her so. However, the Snakes swept all before them in glorious fashion, thus proving his misgivings were misplaced. If defeat allowed no explanations, victory required none.
Spending summer in Russia, Kas had the chance to get in pick up matches with old friends playing for Durmstrang. It was fun being with them again, and getting to find out what the school he wished he’d gone to was like. His cousins also got him into playing the game they indulged in; it had no name and few rules, but it involved flying through the forest, ducking and weaving between the trunks at speed, tossing a ball around between two groups and getting it through goals hoops set up in the trees. At one point, they convinced Aunt Faina to play, since she hadn’t done so in many years, and Kas discovered she was an insane pilot.
For tryouts today, he was wearing a Russian Federation hockey jersey, with his Quidditch pads strapped on underneath in a vain effort to bulk out his thin frame. It seemed as though no matter what anyone did, he couldn’t fill out, nor had he grown much over the summer. A long-sleeved gray Thinsulate shirt was worn under all that for warmth, while a pair of black trousers and trainers finished out his wardrobe for the day. Slung over his shoulder was the bag for his Quidditch gear and other sundries, and the case containing his broomstick which he took care to have polished with a fresh coat of linseed oil and ready for flight.
“Morning, Keptin, Csuri. I am ready to fly when you are,” said the Russian evenly, his accent still thick from his stay in St. Petersburg, though his level of assurance was unmistakable.

Jaelah was ticked that she was forced to stay away from Hogwarts for a year because her maniac sister was on the loose and may or may not try to murder her and they may or may not want said maniac to lead the Solus still. She missed out on a year when they had a capable team, and now she didn't even know if she'd be able to play later being gone for a year - she was limited on what positions she could play well, as Keeper she could keep her left side turned toward the field - having no visibility in her right eye these days after maniac sister and her dumb leg.
She sighed and walked to the field, hoping to set a good example of not being late. Man she hated Erikk not being here anymore, if he had been here they could have laughed together to the field, maybe even joked at their combined being forced to be on the bench after being gone. She filled out a form and turned it in, "Hey Brianna, Csuri. I guess it's going to be another good year?"

With news of the return of the previous Keeper to the school, Vikram was determined to be on time and ready to go. His parents had bought him a new broom as they always did and Vik had spent a lot of time familiarizing himself with it. They were ready to be a force on the Quidditch pitch. He wasn't about to lose the position he fought so hard for. Trotting out onto the practice pitch, he eyed the girl who's position he stole, but decided against talking to her, offering a simple nod instead. Then his eyes fell on the vice captain, Csuri, and he again almost said something to her. Instead, he quickly looked away. The girl he considered his rival also somehow had weaseled her way into his heart. He hadn't wanted to admit it last year, but this year he definitely had to agree that he was crushing on her. It wasn't her way with words or her charm, but something about her just made his heart beat a million kilometers a minute. With a heavy sigh, he set about stretching to prepare for try-outs.

Hesperia was a second year this year which meant that she could bring her own broom to use for games. When she had asked her grandparents to purchase her a broom for Quidditch, they had at first balked at the idea, then said they would purchase her a sturdy broom from some Greek manufacturer that she'd never heard of before. They insisted that it was the best broom on the market. It wasn't until Hesperia produced the latest periodical of Which Broomstick? and translated it for them that listed their choice company as 129th best producer, then begged them to buy something better that she finally got a Nimbus broom. Not the most up to date model, mind you, but it was anything better than the broom her grandparents wanted to buy her. So now Hes walked proudly down to the Quidditch pitch with her new broom over her shoulder. When she reached the pitch, she noticed someone she didn't know there, but she was unperturbed. "Good morning everyone. Hey Csuri, ready to kick butt again this year?" she asked the girl. Last year Csuri had carried the team to a 3-0 season and the Quidditch Cup.

✮⛧✶⚝Afon was actually a bit excited about Quidditch this year all things surprising. Most surprising was their team of literal oddballs managing to do so well last year, most of course up to Csuri. He had no idea what the new year would entail but he just hoped it was just as lively as the year prior. He gave nods of welcome to everyone as he followed behind the rest of the team to fill out his form and stretch to get ready. In his opinion, even if he wasn't that much of a gabber it'd still be too damn early for all this talking.

◈ Location : Quidditch Tryouts ◈ Company : Slytherins...
Savino made his way to the Quidditch pitch for the Slytherin tryouts. He didn't get as much practice as he would have liked but he certainly wasn't rusty. There was still some uncertainty about making the team yet again this year. Last year had been a fluke really. Savi never thought he'd make the team first try. Slytherin dominated all year and it was super shocking at how well he did. He wanted to replicate that, and he hopefully would. Walking onto the field, Savi grabbed a form and filled it out. He was ready for this.

"There is strange comfort in knowing that no matter what happens today, the Sun will rise again tomorrow."
As Jo walked in the direction of the quidditch pitch she was feeling a strange, and overall confusing, mixture of nerves and confidence. She'd been on a broom before, but it wasn't like she'd exactly practiced playing quidditch. Or gotten more than five feet off the ground. But, at the same time, Jo knew she learned quickly, and the teams always needed players. Plus, though she wouldn't admit it out loud, there was a small part of her that thought not making the team would end up being a relief. She had made a deal with herself upon coming to Hogwarts that she wouldn't allow any fear or doubt stop her from experiencing all Hogwarts had to offer.
By the time she made it to the field, Jo had more or less talked herself into an air of confidence. She kept her back straight and her head up. Mum had always said that the first step to gaining power was holding yourself like you already had it. It was all about first impressions. She arrived to a pitch that was already full of players, which was good for the team if nothing else. She looked over the group and studied each person. She hadn't yet had much interaction with those in her house, but she supposed this was her chance. She bit the corner of her lip, which was once again donned in black, before looking back up and making her way to fill out an application. All the while trying to look as "cool" as possible.

Vesna scurried to the pitch, visible dirt staining her clothing and skin despite her best efforts to clean herself up in time to make it for tryouts. This seemed to be a pattern of hers every single season. However, she still managed to make it before it was too late every time. “Hi, sorry I’m late!” she apologized as she grabbed a form and filled it out.

Okay. It was time to do this.... and Csuri was not at all excited. She had started off the year with a plan, then immediately regretted everything with the whole mess during the opening feast. Unfortunately for her, Brianna had entrusted with her with the team, despite, apparently, everyone else's thoughts on the matter. She sighed as she got ready for the day, pulling on her quidditch sweater over her normal athletic clothes, then affixing the stupid captain pin in place. Once it was perfectly straight, she pushed her feet into her short boots and grabbed her new broom. She'd already prepared her backpack with the rest of her gear and... well. Everything else she'd need.
Heading outside, she took the quietest possible route, not wanting to deal with anyone she didn't have to. Thankfully, it was pretty well alone. She used a bit of wandless magic to grab the barrel of school brooms and the heavy trunk of gear, since there was virtually no way she could carry it elsewise. Walking over to the center of the pitch, Csuri set everything up. There were the application forms, some spare pens.... and carefully organized and notated binders with strategies and plays for each of the four positions.
A good majority of the summer had seen Csuri studying every Quidditch guide she could get her hands on, plus interviewing several former players... and maybe a pro or two. All this research had been neatly organized to try and help give her team whatever edge she could. Sure, they may hate her as a person, but something made Csuri want to be a good captain. Maybe it was just some of that Brianna "you can do it" attitude or something... Either way. Grey eyes stared off into space a bit as the curly-haired teen gnawed on her fingernails, the worries of the day definitely getting to her.

Hesperia had heard the commotion rumbling through Slytherin house regarding her good friend and Quidditch captain, Csuri. If anyone had a problem with her leadership, they had to go through Hesperia first and she was totally unafraid to deck a higher grade student if they had anything negative to say about Csuri's leadership of the team. Hes was close behind Csuri as she headed down to open the practice for Slytherin because she wanted to present a unified front. The two had talked strategy a lot over the summer and Hes was impressed with the amount of research that she'd done over the summer. Csuri made use of resources that others didn't think to use and that was what struck a cord with the half-vampire. Reaching the pitch, Hes gave Csuri a big hug and quietly told her that she had her back before she waited for the rest of the team to arrive. The brunette started working on stretches and warm ups for practice.

Heck yes! It was finally time for quidditch! With her basic flying certificate earned, Poppy practically sprinted onto the pitch. It was going to be a super awesome year and that totally started with Quidditch. She had wanted to get her very own broom, but apparently the school had a silly rule about that. So, instead, she'd struck a deal with her parents. If she made the team (even as a reserve!) and kept her grades up, they'd get her a broom for next year. Totally fair, in her humblest of opinion. After getting dressed, the girl hurried down toward the pitch. Her hair was a rich blue with the oodles of excitement.
Grabbing an application, Poppy filled it out carefully in her favorite sparkly purple gel pen, then handed it back in to the taller girl that she assumed to be captain.

Vikram hadn't truly taken into account what his words at the Slytherin table were going to do to Csuri's reputation. He only wanted to get a sick burn in, not absolutely destroy her. Well, for Quidditch, he knew she'd be super prepared and he would throw his support behind her regardless. He'd been mad at first about being passed over for Vice Captain, but Csuri had done a good job, probably better than he could, so he was going to continue to support her. Getting down to the pitch, he grabbed the application and filled it out, then set about doing his stretches.

Savino was determined to make the Quidditch team this coming season. He had made the team last year, at least not in a full-time capacity. That meant he’d have to try harder this time around. Chaser was his goal, and no one was getting in the way of that, not even his father. Walked down to the Quidditch pitch, the third year had his mind on the prize. It probably wouldn’t be easy, but he was going to get there. Walking onto the pitch Savino joined the group forming there. Like minded snakes all wanting the same thing, to make the team. Filling out the paperwork, he was ready as he was going to be. Now here’s hoping he could make the chaser starting line.

Kasamir Aloysius Patrovna Slytherin │ Fourth Year │ Fourteen Years Old │ Single │ Beater
Kasamir was cautiously optimistic about this year’s Quidditch season. With Brianna’s graduation and going off to the ranks of the professional players, the team had passed to her chosen successor: Csuri Narain. Having seen her progress as a Seeker, she definitely had the drive for the job, but his questions lay with the intangibles of running this crew of folks. There was the whole flap at the Sorting Feast, which was a poorly timed affair by all concerned, and Kas wondered if a nascent rebellion was in the offing. As it was, his thinking was he intended to back whoever Hes chose to back, as anybody starting a mutiny would likely be a worse choice than the one already in the van position.
With his broomstick slung over one shoulder and his shoulder kit slung over the other, Kas trooped out to the pitch. He was wearing a hunter green Slytherin Quidditch hoodie, and a pair of sunglasses as he hiked out, and he smiled when he saw Hes, admiring the way the light played about her hair. After filling out his form, he leaned in close to Csuri to tell her she had his support, before he went over to where Hes and started his own repertoire of warmup exercises.
