The Secrets of The Sighted (Golden Trio Era) {3}

Definitely Not A Keeper

When Mikayla removed the silencing charm, the sound of the Quidditch commentary infiltrated the otherwise silent Hospital Wing. "And that's Smith of Hufflepuff with the Quaffle. He did the commentary last time, of course, and Ginny Weasley flew into him, I think probably on purpose, it looked like it. Smith was being quite rude about Gryffindor, I expect he regrets that now, he's playing them -- oh, look, he's lost the Quaffle, Ginny took it from him, I do like her, she's very nice..." Mikayla and Ron share a bright grin at the sound of Luna's commentary, "god, I love that girl." Mikayla chuckles lightly, and Ron nods his head in agreement, "... but now that big Hufflepuff player's got the Quaffle from, her, I can't remember his name, it's something like Bibble, no, Buggins-"

"It's Cadwallader!" Professor McGonagall voice echoed loudly from beside Luna, making Mikayla, Ron and the crowd laugh loudly. "Yes, Cadwallader has scored, it seems that Gryffindor keeper was distracted by shouting at Ginny Weasley... and now Harry Potter is having an argument with his Keeper." Ron grumbled about McLaggen being a right git, Mikayla agreed silently as Luna comments, "I don't think that'll help him find the Snitch, but maybe it's a clever ruse..." Mikayla could imagine Harry's red face absolutely fuming at McLaggen. There was a series of cheers in between Luna's cloud talk, where she pointed out weird shaped clouds, and Mikayla assumed people had scored. "It seems Smith is struggling on keeping the Quaffle in his hands longer than a minute, maybe he's suffering from Loser's Lurgy."

A snort erupted from Ron as the pair dissolved into laughter, "Loser's Lurgy!" Ron repeated between breaths, "seventy to forty to Hufflepuff!" barked Professor McGonagall into Luna's megaphone. "Is it, already?" Luna responded vaguely. "Oh, look! The Gryffindor Keeper's got hold of one of the Beater's bats... It seems Harry Potter disapproves of his Keeper's behaviour.  McLaggen hits a bludger, oh no! He's hit his captain, Harry Potter, in the head! Harry has fallen off his broom, luckily his two beater caught him before he hit the ground." Mikayla lets a curse slip as she imagines that they'll be seeing Harry very soon. 

"I don't think his teammates are too happy with McLaggen for knocking their seeker out, oh look Cadwallader got another score past McLaggen, he's not very good is he? I much prefer Ron being Keeper, he's much better on focusing on defending the hoops and he's a very funny guy." Ron beamed at this compliment and Mikayla allowed a smile to infiltrate her expression, "hundred and fifty to sixty in Hufflepuff's favour." McGonagall calls over Luna, who was in the middle of suggesting that maybe McLaggen was hit by a confundus charm or a witless jinx that is making him incapable to stop the Quaffle from going through the hoops. 

"Well... we're not winning this." Mikayla frowns as Hagrid rushed into the Hospital Wing, carrying an unconscious Harry in his arms, with a worried Hermione tailing them. "Oh the Hufflepuff Seeker, Summerby has caught the golden snitch, no doubt because Harry Potter is now in the Hospital Wing. Hufflepuff win, three hundred and twenty to sixty points. Congratulations Hufflepuff, tough luck Gryffindor, I hope Ron, Harry and Mikayla will be able to play the next match." Luna's commentary was followed by a loud static ring, meaning that the megaphone was likely taken away from her. 

"Is he going to be okay?" Mikayla asked Madam Pomfrey when she stopped bustling around Harry, Hermione spun around only just realising now that Mikayla is awake. Hermione flung herself into Mikayla's open arms, "you're okay? You scared us." Hermione whispered in her ear, squeezing Mikayla a little tighter, "I will be okay, sorry for worrying you." Hermione brushed off the apology. "He's got a cracked skull, I was able to mend it easily but I'll need to keep an eye on him overnight, the three of you can leave together tomorrow." She decided as she wrapped a bandage around Harry's head, resembling a turban, before spinning around to look at Mikayla.

"Right! Miss Black, you've missed a week of food during your... episode. Meaning that for the next couple of days, you're gonna eat four meals a day to get you back up into a healthy weight. After you've eaten, then I expect you to sleep, you've face a lot of emotional distress in the past week." Mikayla had no reason to argue with Madam Pomfrey, as she did feel quiet tried and she suddenly felt the effects of an empty stomach, "okay, Madam Pomfrey." Madam Pomfrey seemed surprised that Mikayla didn't fight against her wishes, most students did, but she smiled softly and asked Mikayla to get back into her own bed to the left of Ron's.
