Harry was walking through the castle right now not knowing what to think, he heard some sound but just ignored it, he heard it again finally he looked up and saw this blonde girl from Ravenclaw standing beside him trying to get his attention. When he realized it was Luna he gave her a big hug and started apologizing. Luna responded with Harry looked at her puzzled and asked how she knew about that. Luna just told him she is a Quidditch fanatic and not much happens in that sport she does not know about. Luna went on for the next few hours to Harry about growing up adoring the sport knowing the proper skills and techniques but just not being able to play it herself as she had never been a very strong flyer. Harry saw this as an opportunity to help his team win and he asked luna if she would like to come and help evaluate tryout and once the team is picked if she would help run practice. Luna was shocked, and as hard as she tried she could not help but hide the smile on her face she immediately accepted.
Tryouts were held the following saturday in the newly constructed Quidditch complex. When the old stadium fell during the battle of Hogwarts Professor McGonagall thought it would be a good idea to build an entire complex as problems have always come up with scheduling practice around the other houses. This complex has a stadium in the middle fit with four separate and private locker rooms for each house, each fully designed in each houses colours, and fully equipped with everything a Quidditch team could use. These locker rooms were under ground and had their own private training room but they also led out to their own simple practice field so they could train whenever they wanted with no scheduling conflicts.
Tryouts went about rather painlessly. Luna sat off to the side wearing Harrys idea so people would not feel pressured with her sitting there, but mainly so nobody knew she was helping pick the team resulting in any hard feelings towards her if she cut a player. Everyone started with an obstacle course just to test basic flying skills. Once they completed the obstacle course they competed in a few drills. The evaluation that took the most time was the mini game. Two chasers one beater and one keeper aside on a half field with no snitch to worry about. They would play to one hundred points. Once tryouts were completed every player would wait outside the locker room and Harry would invite them in one by one talk to them about their tryout and tell them weather they were on the team as a starter a reserve player or out right cut.
The Gryffindor team was selected, the new locker room filled up with its team, players had their uniforms made, the stalls were filled up with personal belongings which really gave the room an at home kind of deal. The team practiced hard and were ready to open up their new season against the heavily favoured Slytherin house.
