Friday 12th September, evening — Hogwarts quidditch pitch
Not that Jimmy would admit it, but it was probably a good thing Greta had remembered to book the pitch for this. He would take the credit for it, anyway – he also thought he might be a good luck charm for Gryffindor, because they’d won the quidditch cup again last year. Two years in a row of winning was nothing to sniff at.
And only one beater spot to fill. Ha. This should be straightforward enough. “The current team are all here,” Jimmy said with a grin, looking from the present members assembled to the beater-hopefuls, “because we’re going to be your targets today. We’ll be on our brooms, practising our dodging – and you’ll be aiming at us.”
He’d let loose a large array of colourful practice bludgers which were already circling, and would explode on impact and splatter any hits with a particular colour of paint. “I’ll assign you a colour, and you’ll track those. At the end of the tryout, I’ll add a point to your score for every hit in your colour on one of us, and minus one for every hit on you. Are you ready?” Once he had given all the potential beaters a colour to aim for, he gave the signal to his teammates and kicked up into the air on his own broom. “Let’s go!”
