chapter six

Adena was feeling quite excited regarding Candace's birthday. She couldn't wait to see the happiness glimmering in her green eyes as she enjoyed herself with her friends. She had just come out of the shower and was now putting on her classical black pants and her white blouse, just a casual outfit for the day, even though she knew she would have to put back on her uniform to execute prefect's duties that night, which was already annoying her. Her roommates were waiting for her outside the bathroom, all of them attending the Quidditch match as well. As she finished putting on her sweater and brushing her brown locks all tangled from sleeping, the girls were debating over the results of the match. They were obviously going to support Gryffindor like most people, as they couldn't stand any Slytherin. When asked about it, Adena just said nonchalantly that she didn't care, which wasn't much of a surprise for the three girls.

The girls met up with Candace and her Gryffindor friends in the courtyard. Lily, Briella, Rosie were there and this time Maylyn too. The boys were apparently already in the bleachers. Adena immediately caught up with her sister upon arriving, wishing her a happy birthday with a quick hug as the young girl wasn't used to that much physical affection. The Ravenclaws wished her a happy birthday as well and after that they all started walking to the pitch.

Adena stayed close to her sister as she gave her the small present she had bought. 

"Aww thank you sis, you're the best."

Her eyes were shinning with excitement like a child when she opened the little bag to discover the pendant. Her smile was so wide as she spoke again, "Merlin's beard! I really love it, it's so cute! I can't wait to show off!"

She knew her little sister wasn't the type of person to express her feelings so openly, she always acted so detached but that present was just a sign meaning she actually cared.

After some minutes of walking they arrived at the pitch. They climbed up the stairs until reaching the Gryffindor boys at the entrance waiting for their housemates.

"I wonder where the boys are," suddenly mumbled Jade, referencing to their Ravenclaw fellows. Just as they arrived up the bleachers, the four of them spotted three guys sporting the Gryffindor colors and waving flags excitedly.

"Aren't they your friends?" exclaimed Sirius with a laugh.

Jacob, Isaac, and Noah were there, screaming like crazy the victory of Gryffindor even though barely anyone was seated yet. These guys were more excited than the Gryffindors themselves present there, they even regarded them with judgmental glances. Jade had to come up to them, telling them to calm down, more like yelling at them so they would understand. They ended up all seating themselves around the Ravenclaws boys, which was a great spot to watch the match. Very quickly a mass of people started joining them, making everything noisier. Adena already regretted accepting her sister's proposition to come as she could just be lazing around in her room instead.

The players soon started arriving, making the crowds erupt in energetic shouts from both sides. Adena could admit that she was actually in awe as she watched the players from both teams flying in the air. Flying on brooms had never been her favorite activity but seeing those people do it made her think that it must be a great feeling.

She was probably the calmest watcher as she was still sitting. She didn't need to stand as from their high spot they could clearly see the match. But something suddenly made the brunette jump up from her seat as she scanned the players. The Slytherin seeker was actually Regulus Black. As she wasn't much involved in Quidditch nor in Hogwarts' life, that was a surprising discovery. She would have never thought he would be into that kind of things. But she remembered now he looked rather thin but well-built.
