Qudditch Try Outs
'So are you guys going for the Quidditch try outs?' Elsa ask as everyone chew on breakfast. A new year had started for everyone.
'Aye!' Merida exclaim with her mouth full of bread. Swallowing hard.' Astrid ai's trying out too!'
'I'm going for the try out too!' Tuffnut and Ruffnut announce.
'HEY! I'm going for the try out!' Ruffnut retorted as both of them slam their helmet against each other.
'YEA! You are going for the try out!' Tuffnut replied in their twinsanity logic.
'Lets just leave them for now...' Astrid said as she drank her goblet of pumpkin Juice.
Just then two Ravenclaw 3rd years made their way over to Hiccup.
'Hi Elsa!' the Girl greeted.
'Hey Elsa!' The guy call out.
'Hey Mary. K! Hello Nod.' Elsa greeted as she hug Mary. K .
'Hey Hiccup, Are you going for the try outs?' Nod ask Hiccup.
'Yea hiccup are you?' Mary added. Putting pressure on hiccup.
'I er..' Hiccup choke on his pumpkin juice
'Well it's alright if you don't want to' Mary assured. Hiccup stayed silent, nimbling the tip of the spoon.
'I know I am!' Guy interjected from across Hiccup.
'Great! I'll see you later then. Hey Hiccup the spot is still open if you ever change your mind!' Nod called out before walking out of the hall.
'So are you?' Jack smirk at Hiccup, who seems to be in a huge dilemma.
'Oh Don't force him will yew?!' Merida hollered at Jack.
'Wow! What did I ever do to you!?' Jack retorted.
'Yew kept picking on him!' Merida countered. ' And ye're annoying with all your pranks and insults!'
'Well I wouldn't if you quit being so picky about it!' Jack argued obviously very offended
'Guy...' Rapunzel growled as both of them continue. Tightening her hold on the spoon
'Me'h bein' picky!' Merida scoff. ' Then wha' abou't yew!?'
'GUYS!' Rapunzel snapped. Shutting both of them up. They had the entire attention of the great hall focus on them. Hiccup sank lower into his seat.
Breakfast was very awkward. And soon after it is lesson time. Well at the start of the term headmaster Morgan had stated that from year 2 onwards, students will be having their classes together. House banding were only for the first year students.
'Merida.. why do act that way toward jack?' Mavis ask secretly as both of them slow down. Rapunzel followed closely behind both of them joining in on the conversation. Slowly all the girls stayed behind while Guy was given the job to push both the boys out of hearing range. Elsa had left with the other 3rd years for lessons.
'Ay er..' Merida stammered. Rapunzel widen her eyes and peered her head closer.
'Aye just don't like ai't that he pick on Hiccup...' Merida confided.
'I see that you are being a little too over protective. And besides you know how they look at each other?' Liana commented.
'Or are you jealous?' Eep quipped at Merida. Giving her a teasing grin.
'NO AI'M NOT!' Merida denied. 'jea,.. jealous? Why would Ai bea jealous?!'
'Because jack seems to be much closer to Hiccup then you are??' Heather added.
Merida was silence for a moment.
'Alright fine.. Ai arm jealous of them' Merida confessed as she hug her books closer to her chest. Rapunzel chuckled.
'Well why don't you just talk to him? You know to bury the sadness!' Astrid suggested.
'Leave jack to us for a moment. Beside there is some stuff I wish to talk to him about' Mavis implied. Slowly the girls made their way to class.
The classroom is rather empty as breakfast had just ended plus much bigger due to the fusion of the student. Professor Gandalf was already at the front cleaning and sorting his table, getting ready for class. Guy signalled the girls at the front. Merida grunt at the sight of Hiccup sitting next to Jack.
'I got it' Rapunzel said as she walked over. 'come on hiccup. I need your help with something.' Rapunzel said as she drag Hiccup by his collar out of his chair and sat him down at the other side of the table. Hiccup had a puzzled look on his face while being drag to the other end of the table.
'Hey!' Jack called out. Just as he was about to grab Hiccup, Mavis threw her books down on the empty desk next to Jack.
'Hey Jack! Thanks for the greeting' Mavis winked at Jack. For some reason she is emitting a rather evil aura. Jack smiled awkwardly at Mavis and retract his hands slowly.
'Is there something you wish to talk about?' Jack asked Mavis.
'Why yes.. Firstly, do you do well in charms class?' Mavis ask as she sat herself down. Heather and Liana sat next to Jack. Trapping him in between the girls.
As both group engage in their conversation, Guy and Eep sat at the very center in between the group.
'Soooo.... what's going on?' Guy ask Eep who seems to be paying half her attention.
'Oh you know.. some jealousy issues' Eep replied as she scribble something down into her notebook.
'JONNY!?!' Mavis exclaim loudly as a boy with red hair walked into the class in a very sloppy manner.
'Hey Mavy Babe!' He called out. Only then Mavis realised Headmistress Minerva was behind him.
'What are you doing here?! What happen to--' Mavis shot so many questioned only to be answered by the headmistress
'Mavis dear, he got transferred here from Drumstrang. An accident had happen and he had to move. Hogwarts had to take him in. He will follow you for the rest of the day until Dinner where he will be sorted into a house.' Minerva explained. Mavis nodded in acknowledgement.
'I'll just move' Jack said as he gathered his books and shifted to the second row next to Snotlout.
'Tough love huh?' Snotlout teased. Jack playfully pushed him.
'Yea.. very tough.. maybe too tough to handle' Jack smirk sarcastically as Snotlout straighten up. ' Even for you' he sigh, shifting his gaze towards Hiccup. Resting his head on his right hand.
'What is it you wanted me to help with?' Hiccup ask cocking an eyebrow at Rapunzel.
'This' Rapunzel said as she point to Merida. Who sat down next to hiccup.
'How do you want me to help?!' Hiccup shot cocking his eyebrow.
'Go talk to her. She feels kinda distance from you' Rapunzel said as she push Hiccup's chair closer to Merida.
Both of them sat there quietly, not mentioning a word to each other.
'So you are going to the try out... which slot?' Hiccup ask trying to break the ice.
'Chaser! Or a beater!' Merida replied in a very excited manner. 'So ar'h yeh...'
'Maybe.. but most likely not.. I think..' Hiccup mumbled softly.
'Well that's a shame.. arn'd I though me wee Hiccup could be a seeka'r, seeing how yew fair on a broom and Toothless' Merida chattered .
'Well. I'm not as good as you on the broom. Comparing the fact that I have to race you and jack.' Hiccup teased. Merida punch him in the arms before laughing.
'Aye.. says de drag--... Fly'eng Kien'g!' Merida teased.
'Well says the princess who rides on a horse shooting arrow into the sunset' Hiccup countered with a grin on his face. Merida simply snorted pretending to be offended.
Afterwards both their laughter died down as students began filling the class.
'Hiccup....'
'Yea?' Hiccup cock an eyebrow.
'are you and jack.. you know' Merida ask slightly nervous as she twirl her wand.
'No... why would you ask about it? Beside i'm not ready for love yet' Hiccup replied with a smile. 'I think' he mumbled softly. Which Merida did not catch.
'Lately yew have been spending lots of time with him' Merida ask.
'And what about it?' Hiccup replied pretty unsure of where this conversation is going.
'Ai'ts just that.. we don't feel close ani'more'
Hiccup sat there stun by the comment he just heard. Trying to process his brain into replying, but his mind went blank.
'I... I.... I.. errr.....' Hiccup stammered, turning to Rapunzel for help.
'Hiccup?' Merida ask in concern ' Yew okay laddy?'
'yea.. i'm … i'm fi..fine...' Hiccup stammered with a grin. Sweating cold sweat.
Still processing the thought of what merida just said. Apparently it didn't occur to him that he had spent so much time with Jack.
'Well.. what merida was trying to say that she is just feeling kind of.. left out' Rapunzel said as she rest her hand on Hiccup's shoulder. Finally gathering up courage and sorting out on what to say.
'Merida.. I'm sorry' Hiccup apologise. Which cause merida to lift her head up and look at Hiccup in the eye. 'i'ts my fault you feel this way and all.. I should have spend some time with you too. I know it isn't fair and –'
'Ai'ts alright laddy.' Merida cut his apology short. ' Just.. promise meh that yew will spent time with everyone. Instead of spending ai't with just Jack. Afterall, i'm yer big sista' Merida felt a lot better, getting that off her chest. Hiccup smiled and nodded while both of them did Pinky promise with each other. Rapunzel smile widely like a child as they divert their attention to professor Gandalf.
Charms lesson ended in a blur. Everyone stumbled out. Lessons are over finally.
'So Mavis care to do some introduction?' Astrid requested snapping Mavis out of her conversation with Jonny.
'Oh sorry.. Guys this is Jonny. My boyfriend' Mavis introduced as she cling her elbow with Jonny. Which made jack and Hiccup feeling uneasy at the moment. Slowly she introduced everyone to Jonny. Jonny is cool guy, pretty relax and stuff. Bro-fisting everyone. It really didn't take long for the group to understand why Mavis would have him as a boyfriend. Really easy to get along with.
'ASTRID WE GOTTA GO! OUR TRY OUTS STARTS IN 15 MINUTES!!' Merida exclaim as she grab Astrid and ran off.
'Well....... we better get going too' Jack smirk before making his way back to put his books down. Snotlout followed closely behind. Slowly the group disperse after agreeing on a meeting point later.
Meeting up at the T point, everyone is still in their robes and uniform. Grabbing some food off the plate before making their way to the Quidditch pitch. Astrid and Merida were already getting ready for the try out. Standing infront of them, a tall figure and black hair. Pale skin but not as pale as jack though. And he would be none other then Albus Serverus Potter. Brother of Jason Potter and Hanna. And son of the all famous Harry Potter. Named after two headmasters. Eugene stood next to him as he explain and brief the participants.
Hiccup watched from the stands with the rest of the group. Merida and Astrid were dressed in Quidditch gear, probably some spares. Merida held onto her Firebolt that her parents gave her last year for Christmas. Astrid held onto a Nimbus 2100.
'GOOD LUCK!' Rapunzel yelled from where the group stood.
'Okay.. so we are going to split you into groups, different group would try out different positions at different times of the try outs. So I wish all the best.' Albus briefed the participants before making his way over to the box.
Eugene took over and started to sort them out. Since there were 28 Participants, Eugene sort them into groups of 7. Just like a Quidditch team. Each of the remaining Quidditch member of the Gryffindor team split themselves. Seeker, Chaser, Beater and Keeper.
Reason why they would open the Seeker spot would be the fact if there are any better Seeker then Eugene. Albus instructed, as during the Match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, Albus fall sick. A terrible cold, which he had his Brother to play for him. Always keep a reserve. Plus Eugene had requested for some time to seat out for certain games. After a bloody Bludger hit him quite hard in the head. Had to resort to Rapunzel's hair to heal the wound. Nasty..
And so the try outs started. Lucky for Merida, Astrid was group with her. First up for them Keeper. Well both of them did a pretty horrible job in keeping the Quaffle out. So that would definitely be out of the question.
Next up Beater. Although Astrid is really good with swinging a mace and axe. It can't be compared to aiming it like a bat. Not to mention a nasty Bludger. Well Merida on the other hand, she seems to be enjoying herself with smacking Bludgers around the pitch. Hard, sharp and deadly. Always straight to the point. Although her weakness would be predicting the movement.
Next, Chaser. Putting both their riding skills to the test. Astrid and Merida were very competitive in the good way. Flying at their top speed while catching the Quaffle and flying around the pitch dodging incoming Bludgers. Astrid is really very good with the Chaser role, Jumping from her broom to catch the Quaffle intercepting it mid air while landing back on her broom. Merida on the other hand make use of her speed, since it's a Firebolt, better show the beauty of it.
And lastly. Seeker. All the 28 participants were gathered. Eugene kicked open a trunk. Releasing 50 training snitches . Albus explained they have to collect as much as possible while demonstrating their mobility on their sticks. On the count of 3 all the participants disperse like files. Everything went so fast.
Astrid sped through grabbing Snitches, like she had some sort of master techniques in catching flies. Zooming pass Hiccup and the rest. Merida seems to be dominating in this field. Flying just as fast, catching the snitches with ease. Spinning and twirling. Albus seems to be impress with Astrid and Merida's ability to cope with the G force to pull off dangerous stuns.
Soon the Gryffindor's Try outs were over. Albus thanked them and notify them the result will be released in two days time. Soon Merida and Astrid join them. And Eep join them soon later. No one actually realise that Eep was also trying out. Well she looked pretty different with her hair all tied up. Even Guy didn't notice.
'Great Job out there!' Elsa commented giving the three of them a pat on the back. Everyone else added their own praise to what Elsa said.
'Thanks Guys!' Astrid replied. While Merida head over to Hiccup.
'Great job! I can see a spot secured for you already' Hiccup grin.
'Thank yew!' Merida exclaimed pulling Hiccup in for a tight hug.
'Great job Hot Head!' jack smirk. Merida gave a glare behind Hiccup.
'Well, I gotta go.' Hiccup said slowly untangling himself from merrdia's hug.
'Where?!' Merida exclaimed with a puzzled look.
'Come on Guy!' Hiccup called out before making his way down. Only then Merida realise where he is going. A smile slowly creep across Merida's face at the thought of it. Hiccup is actually going for the try outs!
Nod and Mary. K were already getting ready for the Try out after the Gryffindor had clean the area and left.
'Hiccup! Glad to see you trying out' Nod exclaim as he pull Hiccup in for a hug. 'Hey Guy!' he exclaimed again before pulling him in for a trio hug that Hiccup is desperately trying to get out of.
'knock it off Nod' Mary folded her arms and nag. Grunting, Nod reluctantly release both of them. Upon being release Hiccup gasp for air. Yea it's that tight. It wasn't long till other Ravenclaw participants arrive. Running a quick check on the list, before starting with the trials.
'Okay listen up! Each of you will be tested in the different roles on the Quidditch Team.' Mary brief the participants. ' So sort yourself into groups of 3.'
Immediately, everyone found themselves in a group. Although some boys snicker at Hiccup.
'Any question?' Nod added. Just then a fat kid raise his hands. 'Yes you!'
'How is it possible for a cripple to play in Qudditch?' He remarked. Immediately, the other Ravenclaws turn to face Hiccup while Guy and Heather stood next to Hiccup.
Defending him. Hiccup's expression changed to a dark gloomy look.
'Now let me make one thing very clear!' Mary snap. Nod immediately took 27 steps away from her. Immediately all the other Ravenclaw stood at attention. Except Hiccup, Heather and Guy. Knowing that they are not at fault.
'In this team or House. You are not to mock each other! And if I hear one more mock about it I will hang you upside down on the Highest without your brooms! I've done it before and I won't hesitate to do it again! AM I CLEAR!?'
all the other Ravenclaws nod their head while some glare at Hiccup. As everyone geared themselves with the same equipment. To ensure fair testing. So everyone had a cleansweep. And spare Quidditch equipment.
The first task. A 3 minute game between a pair of trio. 2 chasers and 1 keeper. Each of them have to change roles every 1 minute. To save time and quick analyse. Hiccup , Heather and Guy went up first against the fat kid and two other ravenclaw boys. Hiccup decided to be the Keeper for the first minute. Oh and did I forget to mention Nod and Mary will be taking part to assist in picking out the keeper. Hiccup did quite a good job keeping the Quaffle out only allowing 2 Quaffle to pass out of 8. Next was Heather. Her Chaser skills are quite superb. Dodging fast, impressive turns and great passing skills scoring a 5 shots within the first minutes . But when it comes to defending heather is kind of bad at it. Unable to work with a small space to keep the Quaffle out from the hoop.
And finally it was Guy's turn. He worked well with heather on the Chaser role. But when it came to being a keeper he is very skilled at it. Making use of the surrounding and his brilliant ideas keeping the ball out. Yelling commands, Heather and Hiccup manage to keep score a good 11 shots within the last minute. Impressing everyone.
'He ain't so bad' Mavis commented. Jack turn to look at Mavis.
'yea ain't half bad for a hiccup that is' Jack smirk.
'Aye.. for eh Hiccup he ai's pretty good. Guy ai's great with being da keeper! Heather ai's really good with the chaser! Don't you think so too~?' Merida added. Others simply nodded in agreement.
'Well Hiccup may be better in being a something else other then a Chaser. Well we shall see' Astrid commented folding her arms. Eep, Rapunzel and Anna were busy screaming at the trio. Just then Snotlout came back with more snacks with the twins behind him holding onto more food.
After a good 30 minute on testing the first trial. It's time to move onto the last Trial. A combination of the Beater and the Seeker role.
'It's simple! The beater will be hitting Bludgers at the other Seeker of your team. Defend your seeker while he catch the snitch. Among the three of you pick out one as your seeker.' Mary brief before giving them 5 minutes to discuss.
'Hiccup you'll be the seeker!' Heather commented.
'What!? Me ?! No no no no no!' Hiccup refuse as she constantly shake his head.
'Come on! You've got the most experience with speed and stuns on your ' Guy paused for a moment. 'You know what' he whispered. Heather nodded in agreement. Finally Hiccup gave in.
'Alright! Lets get started!' Nod announce. After watching a few rounds of Ravenclaws shooting bludgeons at each other and a few seekers successfully catching the snitch. It was finally the trio's turn. Against another group of Ravenclaws boys.
Spending the first half of the game dodging Bludgers, Hiccup had to search for the Snitch. Guy and Heather were doing a pretty decent job whacking the Bludgers away from Hiccup. Finally spotting a small tiny little flying ball. Hiccup dove for it. Watching Hiccup's movement, both Guy and Heather changed Tactics. Sending the Bludgers towards the enemy Seekers as he followed Hiccup closely behind.
'COME ON HICCUP!' Merida scream from the stands.
'YOU CAN DO IT!! DON'T LET HIM HAVE IT!' Rapunzel scream. Toothless and Pascal perch themselves on Rapunzels shoulder. Squeaking and purring supporting for Hiccup. While all the others were doing the same.
Shortly the snitch flew up into the clouds. Being quite familiar in a cloud, Hiccup didn't hesitate and went in. All those dragon training in the clouds have finally been put to good use. Staying very silent listening to the small buzzing sound the snitch was emitting. It was moment later when the opponent's seeker came into the cloud.
Hiccup hid behind a big thick fluffy cloud within the cloud before diving down for the snitch. Surprising the other Seeker. Using his riding skills and knowledge about the dragons, making use of their habit. Hiccup dove down fast despite being on a cleansweep. Positioning his body in a certain angle. Giving it one final twirl he learn by watching Tuffnut and Ruffnut spinning and twirling on Barf and belch. Circling down catching the snitch with one hand. While dodging a Bludgen swiftly.
As he caught the snitch, Spectators roar with cheers. Especially coming from the special group of people. Even the other ravenclaws member clapped for Hiccup. As he touch the ground. Mary and Nod walked up to him.
'Good job kiddo! Great mobility and skills!' Mary commented placing one hand on his shoulder. Nod pulled hiccup into a hug.
'That was totally awesome! You'll make a great seeker man!' Nod commented shaking Hiccup violently. Immediately Mary smack Nod's hands away from Hiccup's shoulder.
As Hiccup turned around Heather ran up and hugged him. Guy stood behind her and smiled.
'That was EPIC!!' Heather exclaimed as she gave Hiccup another round of violent shaking.
'Yea that was really amazing!' Guy added.
'Come on.. everyone is waiting' Heather said as she drag hiccup across the field into the changing room and up to the stands. Immediately greeted by cheers and claps. First to approach was Merida. Pulling Hiccup into a tight hug.
'LADDY! THAT WAS GREAT!' Merida exclaimed as she release Hiccup from her hug.
'Er thanks' Hiccup replied as he scratch the back of his head blushing. Everyone throw in their bit of comments and praise. And finally it was Jack's turn. As he walked up to Hiccup the first thing he did was to ruffle with his Auburn hair.
'Good job out there Hic! If I ever get in, theres gonna be a competition.' Jack smirk at hiccup as he continue to ruffle his hair. Hiccup didn't seems to mind, enjoying the fact that Jack was treating him like a little brother.
'Alright. Come on guys' Elsa motion the Hufflepuff's down to field. Everyone else sat at the stands and watch the participants for the Hufflepuff Quidditch try outs. The twins and Anna were participating.
From afar everyone can tell Elsa is briefing the participants. It is actually surprising to see that there are more Hufflepuff participants compared to Gryffindor. Who knew Hufflepuff love Quidditch that much? Oh well better not judge a book by it's cover.
It's wasn't really hard to tell what their first task was.
'Now sort yourself into the roles which you want' Elsa instructed, after a moment of shuffling their lazy feet, the participants had sorted themselves. 'If you have multiple choice please do let us know!'
Splitting each of the group into two teams. To compete agaisnt each other.
'Now remember! Winning is not how you are going to get in. We have to see your skills.. so just do your best and best of luck. May the snitch be ever in your grasp!' Elsa announce before sending the team to both end of the pitch.
Following the rules the teams have to split themselves into groups for multiple games. A team of 7 to be precise. 3 chaser 2 beater 1 seeker and 1 keeper.
Lucky for Anna both the twins were on the same team as her. Being the beaters while Anna chose to be the chaser. After watching 3 rounds of a quick trial, it was finally their turn.
AS the whistle blew both teams wasted no time in catching the quaffle. Using her snowball throwing skills Anna had hone back in Berk, she manage to give accurate throws. While The twins were having the time of their live. Smacking Bludgers continuously, constantly sending players spinning and twirling from their shots. When it come to destruction and damage leave it to the twins. There are good at that.
Not noticing they were actually short of a seeker. Mavis had to wait for her turn while other seekers lend her the spare Quidditch gear. Immediately zooming into the field for Team Anna. Putting her flying skills to the test, Mavis immediately spotted the snitch. Zooming in without a second wasted.
Minerva stood by the other side of the pitch watching Mavis during her trail. Shortly followed by all the teachers and the headmaster.
'shouldn't we be preparing them ?' Tooth questioned clasping her hand tight. But she relax when Bunny place one of his hands over hers.
'We should. But at the same time they have already prepare themselves. In small steps, we are the bigger step for them' Minerva replied holding up her magic binoculars glasses.
Mavis always have a pair very keen eye. It wasn't really hard for her to spot the Snitch. Zooming pass the the Chasers of the opponent team, dodging Bludgers, with the agility of a bat, Mavis made use of her strong hearing sense to tell the direction of the snitch when its close to her.
Sensing the buzzing sound of the snitch, Mavis dove downwards. Only to scare the snitch away, changing its course and heading up into the clouds. Just then the opponent seeker notice that little bugger. Giving chase for the Snitch. Mavis gritted her teeth hard as she zoom into the clouds with the opponent's seeker infront.
Upon enter the cloud, Mavis sway hard to her right heading into the cloud to hide from the opponent. Peeking through the thick white fluff once in awhile when the buzzing sound caught her ears. Immediately, she dove down following the snitch as it exit the clouds and back down into the war zone of flying bludgers.
Mavis dove down fast. Desperately closing the gap between her hands and the snitch. Leaning further front, closing her eyes from the strong wind brushing against her face. Immediately, Mavis stop the moment she felt a small ball in her hand. Grabbing it hard. Before pulling herself to a full stop.
Slowly opening her eyes, Mavis nearly jump out of her broom noticing just how close she is to the ground. Any inch further she may have broke her legs. Immediately snapping out of her thoughts when the whistle was blown. Elsa dismissed the participants as she tend to the injured.
'Good job out there guys!' Elsa exclaim as the four of them made their way towards Elsa.
'I'll meet you back at the stands. Leave the broom and gear here. We'll handle the rest.' Elsa instructed. Now we know why she was appointed vice captain for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.
'Great job guys!' Rapunzel praise as they made their way back to the stand.
'That really is some great teamwork you guys got there' Astrid commented.
'AYE!' Merida nodded in agreement. Hiccup smile as he pat Tuffnut and Ruffnut on their shoulders. Mavis smiled back at Hiccup.
'Well guess it's my turn now' Jack smirk at Hiccup as he made his way down. Snotlout followed closely behind. Smiling at Astrid before making his way down.
Lucius Malfoy daughter of Draco Malfoy and named after his mother. Well also the captain of the Slytherin Qudditch team.
'ah good to see you Jack!' Lucius greeted with a joyful grin that jack was so sure it didn't belong in Slytherin. While waiting for the other participants to arrive Lucius shot Jack a few question.
'So which role are you aiming for?' Lucius ask
'Seeker!' jack immediately exclaimed. Sounding pretty determine. A grin slide across Lucius face.
'Well do your best. You do know that even though you have that, it's nothing if you do not have the required skill.' Lucius explain pointing to Jack's Nimbus 3000. Jack grip it tightly and smiled.
'I been practising lately' Jack grin exposing his snow white teeth.
Moments later all the participants arrive. And guess what, Hans, Dagur, Caspar and Abigail had turn up too. Well the try outs are open to anyone from year 2 and above.
'Oh hello Hans, Dagur. Giving it a try again this year?' Lucius ask planting a hand on her hip while the other hand held onto a clipboard. Hans nodded his head while Dagur gritted his teeth at the sight of Jack. Abigail gave a glare to Liana who stood next to Snotlout.
'Okay lets get it on shall we? Now split yourself into the roles you wish to take. Seeker, Beater, Chaser and Keeper.' Lucius instructed.
Everyone shifted. Snotlout with the group of Chasers. Along with Hans. Liana stood with the Beater group, Dagur too sign up for the beater role. While Jack and Caspar stood at the Seeker spot. 1 poor kid stood at the Keeper spot.
After a quick record Lucius immediately started the try outs. Pretty much the same as the Hufflepuff. Splitting them into teams and have them play against each other. Well since it's a really small group it won't take any longer compare to the Hufflepuff try outs.
Since there are only 2 seekers trying out for the role, it was rather easy to decide. Get the snitch and you are in. Without breaking the rules.
As the match begin, Jack was really focus. Watching the game carefully for that little tiny flying son of a ball. At the same time dodging the bludgers and chasers trying to knock him off his broom. So much for playing by the rule.
5 minute into the game the trial snitch could be spotted. Compare to the golden snitch , this one is to reduce time, each with a specific timing. Compare to the Golden snitch, popping out whenever it wants to. Longest Quidditch match in history is said to have last 3 months long. Yup, a total son of ball indeed.
Jack immediately zoom in. using his new Nimbus 3000, putting him at an advantage compared to Caspar's Nimbus 2500. Well like what Lucius said, there ain't any point on a good broom if you don't have the skills for it.
'Alright Jack! Time to show off!' Jack motivated himself as he started to do stuns. A quick U- turn, upwards spiral and a freefall dive. Girls around the stands literally felt their heart melt like snow as they watch pretty snow boy doing all his stuns, winking at them in the process. And this is how the terms 'Lady killer' come about kids. Not going around and murdering ladies. Don't ever do that.
Dagur knock a Bludger towards Jack. Without him noticing. Only to be intercepted by Snotlout's Quaffle throw. As the sound of the Bludger and Quaffle register into Jack's head, turning his head around giving Snotlout a thumbs-up.
'THANKS SNOTMAN!' Jack called out as Snotlout flew next to him.
'YEA SURE NO PROBLEM!' Snotlout replied winking at Astrid as they flew pass them.
'YEA GO BABE!' Astrid cheered. Snotlout smiled and scan their expression. Turning to jack.
'GO IMPRESS YOUR OWN PRINCESS!' Snotlout called out before diving down to catch a Quaffle. Jack turn his head noticing Hiccup had a nervous look on his face. But he blush a little, as he saw Jack's perfect smirk under the sun set.
'Alright, head in the game jack!' Jack again mumbled to himself. Going full speed ahead. Caspar is still giving chase to the snitch. Jack caught up with caspar in a few seconds. Suddenly, the Snitch shot up. Heading straight into the cloud. Immediately both of Jack and Caspar zoom up into the sky. With jack in the lead, Caspar wasn't too far behind.
A sudden gust of wind hit both their face. For a moment, Jack pause in his track, while Caspar over took him.
'WHATS THE MATTER FROST?! SCARED OF HEIGHT!' Caspar Mock. But it didn't seems to register in his mind. A though of going down went through his mind. Not hesitating, Jack swing down wards.
'what is he doing?!' Astrid questioned as she narrow her eyes watching Jack. Lucius folded her arms and smirk, readying the whistle in her mouth. As Caspar smile to himself watching Jack going down.
'It's all mine' Caspar chuckled as he reach out to grab the Snitch. Inches away from his grasp. The snitch dove downwards. Missing Caspar's grasp by that inch. Caspar grunt in frustration. Diving down after the snitch, racing pass the cloud. With the snitch within grasp again, Jack zoom in from the side, snatching the snitch in an instant.
Immediately, Lucius blew the whistle. Signalling the match was over. Everyone erupted into cheers and applauses. Jack held the snitch proudly in his hands as he hover around.
Dagur could feel his rage building up. As a Bludger came flying towards him.
'DAGUR! STOP!' A Slytherin yelled out. Dagur gave an evil grin as he swing the bat, redirecting the Bludger sending it towards Jack at a high speed. Being distracted as Caspar called out to Jack on purpose.
'Good game Frost!' Caspar grin, distracting Jack. Jack gave a straight face, No one could warn jack in time as the Bludger knock him in the head. Hitting him out cold. Everyone watch in horror as jack fell to the ground. Headmaster morgan was about to cast a charm. When suddenly a voice boomed his focus. Shocking the teachers.
'JACK!' Hiccup yelled from the stand, at that very moment. Everything slowed down, as Hiccup's wand gave off that same Green Harlequin light. That very same light that was shone when Hiccup first held the wand. A very very gigantic gust of wind rush in from all direction gathering under Jack. As if the sky and wind had heard the cry of Hiccup. Slowly Jack was gently place on the floor as the wind blew a good bye and disperse.
Hiccup wasted no time and rushed down, with everyone close behind. Racing pass the field to where Jack laid. Pushing aside the Slytherin, in a desperation to see jack.
Lucius had Jack resting on her lap as the medical team ran for the stretcher.
'OH thor nonononon.... please be okay.. please be okay..' Hiccup chanted as he kneel next to Jack. Lucius had her wand pointing at Jack's wound. His head was covered in blood and scratches.
'His fine' Lucius assured as she look up to see Hiccup who is almost in tears. 'Get Dagur , Caspar and Hans out of here!' Lucius ordered. The other houses who stayed to watch stood up and push the three of them off the pitch. Just then Minerva, Madam Hooch and the Headmaster rushed down.
'Is it bad?!' Minerva questioned as she knee next to Jack. Lucius was performing emergency first aid. Just in time, the first aid team arrive. Carefully placing the unconscious Jack on the stretcher, the headmaster immediately ordered them to run to the hospital wing. As hiccup took a step forward, Elsa grab his shoulder.
'Get change first... look at you' Elsa spoke, only then Hiccup realise how dirty he was, Madam Pomfrey would murder anyone who step into the hospital wing with lots of bacteria that might infect the wound. Despite her being good down in her heart. Well can't blame her for seeing the things she hates the most. Infected wounds, serious damage, missing bones.
Hiccup silently nodded, not shifting his gaze from the medical team with jack on the stretcher. Astrid rested her hands on Hiccup's shoulder giving him a reassuring smile as he turn to face her. Guy and Heather patted Hiccup on his back and slowly made their way back to the Ravenclaw tower to change. Toothless purred in his cloak making sure his owner is okay.
'Where is Hiccup?' Astrid ask in a worry tone when Guy and Heather arrived at the meeting point.
'He went off to see Jack first, he was really worried sick.' Heather explained. Astrid sighted, never once did she saw hiccup that worried. Quickly making their way to the Hospital wings
Hiccup was already seated next to Jack's bed. Still laying unconscious, with a bandage wrapped around his head. Despite being knocked out, he can still grin like a dork.
Merida snorted at the sight of it. Madam Pomfrey came by to check on Jack. Also notifying them it's dinner time.
'Come guys.... we can come back later. Lets grab something to eat...' Rapunzel insisted. Everyone got up except for Hiccup.
'Come on Hiccup..' Astrid gestured at Hiccup.
'I'm not really that hungry..' Hiccup replied softly. Despite his stomach growling he rather be here with Jack.
'Ok...' Astrid shrugged and walked off. Meeting the rest outside. Everyone gave her eyes of concern. 'meh... lets just grab him some stuff to eat. I could hear his stomach growling' shrugging again, before making their way to the great hall.
'Boy.. I have never.. and I mean Never seen Hiccup this worried other then those two times when Toothless was really sick' Fishleg explained. Everyone quickly gobble down food. Before making their way back. Grabbing a few piece of apple and chicken wings for Hiccup. Placing everything nicely in a bag before making their way in.
Hiccup was already sound asleep next to Jack resting his head at the side. Astrid smiled as she sat the bag of food on Jack's table. Toothless sat next to Hiccup's face watching him. Turning his head to Astrid when they entered. Madam pomfrey walked over with a blanket as she threw it over hiccup.
'Poor boy.. he must be really worried' madam pomfrey spoke as she watch both the boys sleep, some how that scene gave Madam Pomfrey a smile on her face. Astrid stood next to her, nodding in agreement. Mavis left a get well soon card on Jack's table, while Rapunzel place a vase of flower on the table.
Moments later, Jack's eyes slowly open. Grunting at the pain of his head, he tried to seat up. Only to notice his hands were being held on. Slowly shifting his head, he notice a familiar auburn hair. Mavis noticed jack was awake and made her way over to help jack to sit up. As he sat up, it was finally clearer to him who the auburn hair kid.
Madam Pomfrey immediately went over and gave him a cup of potion to drink. Jack reluctantly drank the bitter liquid down. Sticking his tongue out every few sip, and his expression crumples every time the liquid touches his tongue. As soon as that ordeal was over, Rapunzel gave him an apple. Shifting his gaze back to the auburn brunette asleep next to him.
'He was worried sick fer ye' Merida shot at jack as she folded her arms. A smile creep across Jack's face as he began to stroke Hiccup's head. Feeling every weak breath against the sheet.
'Ye should harve seen his face...' Merida shot again this time clenching both her fist in while they remain folded. This time slight guilt filled Jack's heart. Slightly frowning.
Looking up at the group. ' Sorry guys.. you guys must have been really worried' Jack apologised.
'It's not us who you should be apologising to' Astrid replied as she went back to out. Getting ready to head back. Jack had a confuse look on his face, as Rapunzel shook Hiccup awake. The brunette let out a cute groan as he woke up still feeling very tired.
Hearing that sound Hiccup made, Jack could feel his heart melting. Turning to see Jack awake and sitting up, Hiccup immediately smiled. A relive smile as it wipe the guilt in Jack's heart away.
'Good morning princess. How was your beauty nap?' Jack smirk at hiccup. Hiccup tried to replied but tears kept flowing out of his eyes. Immediately hugging jack. Apparently, Hiccup couldn't the words to express himself. Pulling back immediately, Jack watched Hiccup, pulling his head closer to Jack's chest, gently kissing hiccup's forehead.
'I'll be out in the morning. Now go back and sleep. I'll see you in the morning' Jack said to hiccup. Hiccup simply nodded and ran out to meet up with the rest. With the packed food in his arms. Madam Pomfrey walked over to Jack's bed.
'Young love' Madam Pomfrey chuckle to herself as she flick her wand. Jack's bandage came off as Madam Pomfrey replace them with a new set. Before leaving, she gave Jack another cup of that awful potion. Watching him to make sure he drank it all. Jack sigh at the though of going through the ordeal again. Quickly falling asleep. The night pass by quick.
The next thing jack knew was he was already seated at the Hufflepuff table with the rest of the group eating breakfast. Seated next to Hiccup.
'Jonny right?' Jack called out. As a though hit his mind.
'Yea?' Jonny replied with toast stuff in his mouth
'Which house were you sorted to?' Jack ask, since it's a sunday morning, everyone were in casual attire. Jonny look at mavis as she smiled.
'Hufflepuff' Jonny replied proudly. Jack smirk and went back to eating his breakfast.
And the days of the result came. Each of the house prefect had gathered everyone in their respective common rooms.
'Lets welcome the new addition to our Quidditch team!' Eugene called out excitedly.
'Our two new chaser.. Astrid Hofferson and Eep Crood!' the gyrffindors erupted into cheers. 'And our new beater! Also Seeker reserve, Merida Dunbrouch!' Everyone clap as the three girls group hug each other. And the annoucement went on.
Meanwhile in the Ravenclaw dormitory.
Nod and Mary were standing on the table of the common area.
'And We have Heather! As our new Chaser!' Mary Announce throwing both hands into the air. Giving Heather a handshake as she was pushed to the front. Nod took the piece of paper and announce the last two roles .
'in the Keeper role we have Guy!' the girls in the dorm went ultra wild as Guy walked up.
'And lastly Our new seeker! HICCUP!' Nod exclaim proudly, making his way down to pull Hiccup into a hug.
'Congratulation little guy!'
While in the Hufflepuff room. Elsa stood on the chair next to the fire pit.

'Our new Chaser is ANNA!' Girls pushed Anna to the front as the whole Hufflepuff clap and cheer.

Meanwhile in the Slytherin dungeons. Lucius malfoy stood at the front annoucing.
'And out last Chaser! Snotlout!' Guys cheer as they push big boy to the front. Flexing his muscles which only made girls laugh.
'Our new beater is LIANA!' Slowly as she made her way to the front. Caspar swallowed hard as she walked past him.
'And lastly our new seeker, JACK FROST!' Lucius announce. The Slytherins roared even louder as jack made his way to the front. Girls were literally fangirling their heart out as jack gave a shy yet perfect smile, exposing his snow white teeth. Suddenly two girls plop on the floor, fangirling at the very maximum. Everyone paused for a moment, before ignoring them and went back to cheering. Hans and Dagur were once again rejected. While Caspar glare at Jack who he believed stole his 'Spot'
As everyone met up later sharing the good news. Seems like everyone who participated got in.
'Don't Expact meh to go easeh on yall!' Merida grin widely. 'Astrid, Eep and Ai, are not gonna show ye any mercy!' Merida beam as she drag both girls closer.
'Oh really? Is that a challenge hot head?!' jack smirk as he look at Snotlout.
'Challenge accepted!' Astrid replied with a big grin.
'You're on!' Snotlout jeered in a friendly manner. With a smile on his face.
'I'm pretty sure we can kick your butts!' Heather interjected as she hook Guy and Hiccup.
'I doubt so, not when I have them!' Anna boasted bringing both the twins together.
'Oh my god is that you?!' Ruffnut complained as she began to hit Tuffnut. And a fight broke out again.
'Right......' Merida dragged.
'Well we have three new seeker and a reserve seeker. We shall see who excel in this role the most!' Rapunzel suggested.
All the four seeker looked at each other. Nodding in agreement
'Deal!' All four of them chorus together.
