Jennifer Zucchero

For the first time, Jennifer hadn’t plagued with thoughts of being unworthy of being captain while she was preparing for the start of the quidditch season. Winning seemed to have that lovely little side effect, she’d noticed. Now she all she had to do was continue the trend. And the best way to start that would be to get her team together and practicing as soon as possible.

Therefore Jennifer made a stop at her common room before the feast to post her notice. After six years, she should know how to get in and out without missing too much of the feast. In fact, it would be rather sad if she couldn’t. So after getting to the common room, she quickly hung up the piece of parchment with its short message and series of lines for names and positions, and then hurried to Cascade.

QUIDDITCH SIGN-UP

For all those interested in playing on the Crotalus house team in the coming year, please sign your name, year, and position below. While some priority will be given to those on the team last year, try-outs will be held before any final decision is made. The try-outs will be held in one week, and walk-ons are welcome.

If you have any questions, or are new to the sport and aren’t sure what position would work best for you, feel free to see me at any time.

Jennifer Zucchero, Sixth year, Captain and Seeker

Helena bit down on her already-raw lower lip as she looked at the Quidditch sign-up sheet. She had been just as happy as the rest to win the Championship the previous year, but she was also fully aware of just how useless she had been. Maybe part of it was due to age and inexperience - she had only been a second year - but she still felt she should've done better, somehow. Others had, after all. She'd seen it herself.

None of that, however, could quite cancel out the lure of the sport. Its attraction for her had, if anything, grown stronger. It was hard to think about "it all" - that term had somehow established itself in her family's collective vocabulary to refer to Lavinia's "condition" and all that was associated with it - while she was rocketing around a field, trying to catch or throw one ball while preventing two more balls from breaking her ribs. It was the busiest form of being busy she'd ever seen.

What finally made up her mind was the line about try-outs. It wouldn't hurt anything to put her name down. Her House, its population being so largely comprised of prissy girls, had experienced recruiting problems in the past, and she'd been on the team for two years. If Jennifer took her back, all well and good and she wasn't as bad as she thought she was. If she was replaced, Oliver would no doubt do her job much better than she'd ever thought about and it would all still be well and good, at least for the team.
