September 13, 1889 - After Dinner - Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch
Last year had been nerve wracking, but those year Lucky felt he had things more handled. Was more experienced as a quidditch leader. "Good evening. Welcome to quidditch tryouts." He offered a big, warm smile for the sake of hopefully easing everyone else's nerves.
"I am Goodluck Warbeck. Today we will be doing three tasks to determine who shall be on the quidditch team for the remainder of their school career. There are positions available for chaser, beater, and keeper. You may participate in as many of them as you prefer." A good start, he kept his voice steady and confident. This was a new year for new beginnings. Last year they won it all. This year he needed to find fit players to secure their victory once again.
The tasks were challenging, hopefully. But not too difficult to be unfair, he hoped. All he wanted to find were fit players for the game. Winning was nice, but safety was also good. "Chaser hopefuls, you will each catch a quaffle that will be launched when you have all taken off, and then you must try to get the quaffle past the keeper hopefuls and through the hoops. As for the beater hopefuls, you will be defending the chasers to the best of their ability from the bludgers. As you may have noticed, there are more flying dummies around the pitch. Aim at them, but try to aim for less sensitive areas of the dummies please. Those wishing to try out for both positions may switch halfway through."
He paused a moment, let that information sink in. That was a lot at once. He gazed at each potential player to make sure they got it. They seemed to anyway. "Some of you have likely tried out last year, and might remember these same tasks. Fair warning to still keep your mind sharp and your eyes peeled, because bludgers don't care what happened last year!" He cautioned with a hint of humor at the end.
Another pause, gazing at each potential new player. Making sure they understood, or at least seemed to. They could do it, he was sure. "Alright. Begin!" He shouted and blew his whistle before watching them take off. It was great to be captain.
