Mounting the brooms
Dexter was set up for everything that was about to happen. Dexter has started a club for people who love Quidditch. They're going to have unofficial quidditch matches. Recently, Dexter had gotten all of the positions filled he needed to. So far, they had a Seeker, a beater, a keeper, and three chasers for each team. They also have one referee and an announcer. The keeper was quite hard to find but he found a keeper at once. Now here he was, ready to start the meeting. This meeting was just going to be to explain everything that was going to happen. The next meeting they're going to split up in teams, discuss a team name, and then the team captains were going to put the players in there and choose the co-captain. Dexter was a team captain of his team, and George Rees was the captain of the other team. He had owled all of the members telling them where to meet. They should be there any moment. After a while they started to arrive. When everybody had came, Dexter decided to start the meeting. "Hello everyone. Some of you may know me from the music club that I own. So first we're going to introduce ourselves. We're going to go around the room, and you will say name and your name and your favorite Quidditch team and what position do you play. This will help us understand each other." He decided to demonstrate." My name is Dexter Ragsdill, my favorite team is the Chuddly Cannons oh, and I will be playing Seeker. Now you guys can do the same thing going around the yard." This would be fine.

Colin thought it would be a grand idea to join the Quidditch Club. He knew he'd be unlikely to make the House team even though first years were allowed to play. He was already on the Basilisks wait list, and was also considering the duelling team. Really, he just wanted to have some fun in the air with friends and maybe learn how to play the game better. He had never talked with Dexter before, but knew him a little by reputation, as well, he was pretty sure, as by a certain --- wild strain --- in his personality. One that he knew he shared with Henry.
He looked around with a bit of a shrug. Might as well get it over with! he thought.
"I'm Colin!" he said. "I think Dexter has me down for Chaser. I've been practicing a bit, but I think it'll be brilliant to get up in the sky and try it for real! I don't really have a favourite quidditch team, as we don't play it much where I'm from." He looked Dexter in the eye as he paused. "I've always heard the Cannons suck, though, so maybe I should pick for favourites any team but them?" he said with an impish grin.
He wondered how Dexter would react to a jab at his team. All in good fun, of course!
Interacting with everyone present.
Keep your mind in hell; and don't despair.

Quinn woke up and rushed to put her slytherin robes on, she had found an Unofficial quidditch club! She had joined as soon as she heard of it. Quinn did not know much about quidditch, so she hoped that this club would help her learn.
She knew most of the rules, and what she wanted to play. With everything else she was lost. Quinn would grab one of the school brooms. She didn't have one to call her own. She had found that she was not the first one there. She did see a lot of people she knew, Quinn would listen to what Dexter had said, and how to introduce themselves.
She didn't have a favorite team, as she never watched quidditch. She was about to speak when Colin! Had spoken. He said how he thought he was put down for chaser, Quinn smiled and said what she was told to say. "I will go next! My names Quinn Root, I don't have a favorite team. Don't really watch it.. I do want to play better " She looked around seeing how some of the members and possible teammates had good brooms, She waited to see who would speak next.

Monica was beyond ecstatic, when she first heard about being able to fly on brooms, that was enough to make her fairytale dreams a reality, but learning that there was sport added to it as well! It was an under statement to say she was riding on top of cloud nine.
Even though first years were able to join the teams, it seemed rather hopeless that Monica would get the chance to play the game sooner rather than later. Stumbling upon this little group forming was quite the stroke of luck, and she was elated to join in!
Not knowing too many people in the room, she could feel the bitter sensation of nerves building up inside of her.
Breath in breath out.
It calmed her though that this was all for sport... nothing calmed Monica more than some healthy competition.
Noticing it was now her turn to introduce herself to the group, Monica smiled to everyone in the room, "Hey, I'm Monica....Evens, and I have just learned about Quidditch this year. I am excited to learn the game though! With that, I don't have a favourite team, but that for sure will come in time. I believe I am a chaser if I am not mistaken."

no fancy post today, my friends. Just getting it done while I can
Who in their right mind owls their child to tell them that they're divorcing? Reena's parents. She didn't really have any feelings about it, not yet. She just folded the letter without finishing it and left it on her bed. She was going to her unnofficial quidditch practice. She was on the wait list for her team, so she wanted to get some practice in. She wanted to be a keeper for the gryffindor team, but she had chosen to be a beater for the unnofficial team. She was pretty strong and it would get out her energy. She pulled her hair into a messy pony tail and finished tying her converse. She was still saving up for a broom.
She walked out onto the quidditch training pitch and squinted her eyes in the sun, looking for the others. once she spotted them, she headed over. She was a bit silent today, for she was still pondering the letter. She gave a quick smile to everyone and listened to them introduce themselves. Her mind drifted once again. Why were her parents getting a divorce? Sure, they've had problems but it had never gotten serious. At least not that she knew of. Or maybe it had, during the school year, when she wasn't around. Typical that they wouldn't tell her anything until they split up. With the 'it's not your fault' bs- she never thought it was. She knew it wasn't her fault. When it came to her turn she looked around. "Oh, my turn." She raised her eyebrows, trying to focus. "Right, uh.." She squinted and tried to remember what they were even doing. "so My name is Irene. Call me whatever- my favorite team is... it's the Spanish National Quidditch team. I'm playing beater but one day i hope to maybe be a keeper for a real team. Anyways. Yeah." She raised her eyebrows again and suddenly became interested in her finger nails.

In the whirlwind of a few quick notes passed between Simon and herself, AngelFyre found herself signing up for an intramural type of Quidditch team. Say what? Yep. And unbelievably, the day after filling out her application, she was astonished to discover that she made the team and was the Keeper. Simon was most insistent that she should only take a position on Team 2, so she applied for Team 2. Happily, she noted he was the Seeker for Team 2. She knew he would be great in the position.
Along with the acceptance letter came a message that there was to be a mandatory team meeting where both teams, Team 1 and Team 2, would get the low down on the rules, meet and greet each other, and have questions answered, and come up with actual team names. That might be a chore for a later meeting. Regardless, here she was at the meeting, and it had now come around to her to introduce herself.
Looking around at all of the faces, she knew only a couple really, but recognized a few more beyond that. "Hi, everyone. I am AngelFyre McCubbin but I would prefer to be called AF. I admit to being completely unfamiliar with any professional Quidditch teams, so I am going to have to go with the Hufflepuff house team being my favorite. Go badgers! Anyway, I am on Team 2 and will be playing as the Keeper. I look forward to getting to know you all better and having some fun."
And with that, she smiled at everyone and waited eagerly to hear from whomever would introduce themselves next.

As Dexter finished, other people started to go. Dexter focused so that he can remember the name and remember the face. A kid named Colin McCoire playing Chaser. The next part surprised Dexter- he said the Cannons sucked! He also said he choose any team but them. Dexter, joking, responded, "Hmm... what's the nicest way to say this? You tripping." He laughed. Then a girl named Quinn Root, who didn't have a Quidditch team and was playing beater. Dexter smiled. "Nice to meet you," he said in his natrual elegant sounding voice. A girl named Monica Evans playing Chaser, also without a Quidditch team. "Pleased to have ya," he said, smiling. Then a girl who went by Irene, her favorite team was the Nation Spanish team, and she was playing beater. "Spanish, eh? Welcome!" A girl named AngelFyre McCubbin. Her parents are creative, he thought when hearing her name. But he'd be calling her AF. "Welcome!" She was playing Keeper. She also had no Quidditch team. "Damn, a lot of you don't have Quidditch teams?" He laughed. "Well, I see Quidditch a lot. And we won't be doing much in this club that doesn't involve Quidditch. Would anyone else like to introduce yourself?"

location: quidditch training pitchebony - #0f083fEbony had submitted her application form for only around a day and she had already had it owled back, along with the time of a meeting. So here she was, walking onto the training pitch. There were already a couple of people gathered around inside.
She lingered around the entrance for awhile, hoping to catch glimpses of what they were talking about before entering the conversation. She overheard many people saying they didn't have a favourite quidditch team.
"I don't have one either," she said, scurrying awkwardly towards the group of people, cutting herself into the conversation. She wondered if it was quite rude to do so, so she hurriedly introduced herself, "Ebony Vetra... I'm down for Chaser, I think." She suddenly realised there were actually quite a lot of people, and was glad she didn't stutter because she usually would. She looked at her feet, hoping nobody would realise that she was late and cut in.
Ebony's mother had only taken her to an official Quidditch match once, but since then Ebony had developed an interest for quidditch. However, she didn't have a favourite team, apart from the school team that she plays in, but that didn't count. She'd made it into the Ravenclaw quidditch team, but played Beater. Ebony wanted more experience on all sides of Quidditch, so she had therefore applied to be a Chaser instead.wc: 229

Although Koko was already on the Slytherin team, she wanted to be of assistance somehow, whether that was dragging unconscious students to the infirmary or just taking attendance. She didn’t want a major role; she wanted to see other students having fun and maybe growing and learning from the experience.
Thus, she left her broom in her dormitory before leaving to head to the Quidditch Training Pitch - a spot that was both familiar and essential to any Quidditch player.
When she arrived, a handful of students were already there. Koko would wave and then lurk towards whatever area was furthest away from the largest number of people. It wasn’t that she didn’t like people; rather, she wanted them to approach her if needed. Sometimes it was better to not be too exuberant. Luckily, Koko was quite good at being shy. It was very much her modus operandi.
After listening to everyone else and smiling curtly when hearing their introductions, Koko clasped her hands in front of her and offered a small, hopefully unobtrusive, introduction of her own: ‘Er… Hello.’ She would wave again. ‘My name’s Koko, Koko Riddle. It’s a pleasure to meet - or see - all of you. I’m not going to be playing, just announcing, so hopefully I won’t mess up any names… Oh, and my favourite team is the Slytherin team… I’ve got to show my house pride somehow.’ She chuckled after that and then went quiet.

Mounting the brooms
The teen never found his footing with brooms... barley managing an O in flying out of fear of actually getting an E. The teen wasn't a fan of flying, of being off the ground hovering in the air... he loath the feeling and never quite got the point of quidditch however some of his best mates are on the quidditch teams so he figured that he'll join the club. Maybe change his mindset of the sport.
The teen found a spot, near a few faces to recognized. @Koko Riddle, the first string keeper for slytherin who he only knew from the one or two games he attended but also from Avery's talk of the team. Most of his quidditch information came from the first year and Cash, two of his best mates. He seen the girl play, always considered her a star... one who is both tactical and fast.
The other, @Dexter Ragsdill the teen came across him once or twice. Eyes scanning over the others in the group. Loki, his orange feline by his side.
He left his broom behind him, he didn't quite like the thing. After Koko went, the teen brushed a few strands of hair from his face as he spoke"uh- hello, I'm Henry Knight and it's a pleasure to meet everyone here. I joined as keeper I think, mainly because my mate plays the position for the slytherin team- well second string anyway but the first string keeper is brilliant to- uh anyway I don't really have a favorite team so guess will say the cloud cobras," using the team name for the slytherin quidditch team. The teen found his eyes drawn down to his feline who looked up, eyes twinkling above.
