September 14th, 1889 — Quidditch Pitch
Never before had Eldin had the responsibility of hosting quidditch tryouts. Kristoffer had been in charge of them for the past few years, and although Eldin had attended every tryout, he had not anticipated the stress that came with having to select new members of his team. He was fortunate to be knowledgeable enough in quidditch and his house's students—as a seventh year and a prefect—to know from the get-go who might have what to offer the house team.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Slytherin house team tryouts!" he greeted cheerfully, trying to bury his anxieties deep in his chest. "Today we're seeing two chasers and a beater. You will be judged on a series of trials, but don't stress too much—I'll take into account your experience and overall ability when filling the roster," he said. He remembered how stressed he was when he tried out as a second year. He'd always loved flying, but he hadn't been a natural; it took years to get to a point where he didn't question himself every time he took to the pitch.
"Those tryout out for chaser will take two laps around the pitch and then head over to hoops. There you'll practice your shooting," he explained. "Those trying out for beater will practice hitting bludgers back-and-forth with each other and myself. Everyone got it?" he asked, picking up his own broom.
"Begin!"
