Draco saw tryouts as something of a formality. There were a couple of spots that were up in the air, of course, and might slip away from someone who'd held them last year, but by and large he had the team he wanted. He'd been learning (without even really thinking about it) which players he could work with since he'd first got on the team his second year, and that all-important qualification had a lot to do with how well they listened to him. As much as he enjoyed shooting off on his own - or, all too often, with Potter right behind him - to focus on the Snitch, he needed to know that the game below was in good hands. His hands. The very last thing he wanted was an unknown quantity who might throw a sudden fit of backbone at an essential moment.
So when he started meeting people out on the pitch, he made sure to spend the vast majority of his time sizing up the few he might actually have to consider. He really couldn't be bothered with all the bloody firsties who thought they were going to follow in the meteoric footsteps of the great Harry Potter, youngest Seeker in however-long to grace the sodding pitch with his saintly presence. They all got black marks next to their names.
[This tryout is run loosely like the one we see in HBP - Chasers, Beaters, then Keeper. Comment here if you were there/tried out/something else awesome happened!]
