Quiddtich Tryouts

Kiana

"Make sure he's okay, please let me be the first to know if he wakes," I asked.

Poppy nodded and cupped my cheeks with her hands. Cedric then pulled me to his side.

"You have a team to lead don't you," she asked. I nodded. "Then I suggest you go and lead them."

I pulled Poppy in for a hug. I then pulled away and pecked Christian's forehead. I exited out of the Hospital Wing and made my way down to the Quidditch field. Sadly, Harry couldn't get out of detention. Cedric, Hermione, Josh, Jace, Ernie and Lucas all sat in the stands to support me. I looked at the people who wanted to try out for the team. I put on a strong front and cleared my throat. They were still engulfed in conversation.

"LISTEN HERE. I AM YOUR CAPTAIN AND YOU WILL NOT IGNORE ME. EVERYONE HAS TO TRY OUT AGAIN AND I AM ALSO PICKING RESERVE PLAYERS IF ANY OF OUR MAINS SHALL BE HURT. LINE UP HERE IF YOU'RE TRYING OUT FOR KEEPER," I yelled.

Immediately, Ron, Jake and Calvin stood in line. A pang hit my chest knowing Christian should have been here.

"Alright, Katie and Angelina," I called.

Katie and Angelina ran towards me.

"Yes Captain," Angelina smiled.

"How about a game of Rally," I said.

Angelina and Katie giggled.

"Mount your brooms," I said stiffly.

So we did.

"Since there are three of you trying out, we're playing a game of knockout. Ron take that post there. Katie, Angelina and I are going to play a game and you have to dodge our Quaffles," I explained.

Ron nodded. Together, Angelina, Katie and I threw the ball towards the posts. Ron managed to block 9 out of 10. Seamus blocked 8 out of 10. Jake blocked 8 out of 10.

"This is a tough decision. Seamus, you'd do good as a reserve Chaser. Your fast. Ron, lead Keeper. Jake, reserve," I said.

The three nodded grateful to even be on the team. I winced in pain as I felt the familiar feeling on my hand.

"Practice dismissed," I said hurriedly.

Hermione and Ginny came running down and gasped.

"Your hand," Ginny squawked.

"It looks like Harry's," Hermione frowned.

"You need to tell Dumbledore what Umbridge is doing," Jace frowned.

"Umbridge," I asked. "Umbridge is the reason why Harry has the same markings!"

That's why he's been covering his arms. Then I saw Poppy running down the steps and towards me.

"HE IS AWAKE."

I put all thoughts of Umbridge aside and ran up to the castle. I pushed everyone out of my way and ran towards Christian. I pulled him in for a tight hug and he chuckled.

"Knew you missed me," Christian chuckled.

I rolled my eyes but hugged him tighter.

"Of course I would," I  sniffled.

Christian pulled me out of the hug and wiped away my tears.

"Don't cry I'm right here," Christian said.

"If I lost you I don't know what I'd do," I cried harder and held onto him.

"Kiana," Christian said.

"Call me Kay, munchkin, what ever you want.." I said quickly.

"That's my name for her bro get your own," Cedric chuckled.

"How about Sis," Christian asked.

We nodded.

"Just don't leave me ever again please," I sniffled.

Christian nodded and pulled me in for a tighter hug.

"Your hand what happened," Christian asked.

"I don't know.. It just started happening," I answered truthfully.

Christian nodded and hugged me tighter. My eyes then flickered to Cedric. I reached a hand out for him and pulled him in for a sibling hug.

"Remember the first night we met," Christian chuckled. "How all four of us got into a quarrel."

"What a stupid quarrel," Cedric chuckled.

"I'm glad we met that way because I'm glad we are the way now," Christian smiled.

I nodded.

"Judging by your Quidditch uniform, you did the tryouts," Christian frowned.

"I can always reschedule." I said. "Do try outs again."

Christian smiled.

"That'd be nice."

***

Christian, Harry and I sat in the common room alone.

"Why didn't you tell me," I asked. Harry furrowed a brow. "About what Umbridge was doing to you and Cedric?"

"You have enough to worry about," Harry frowned.

"What happened to your hand," Harry asked.

I showed him my hand.

"It matches mine," Harry frowned.

"Oh my gosh, I forgot," I groaned.

"What," Harry asked.

Christian had fallen asleep. I leaned forward.

"This means your my soul mate Harry, I hurt when you hurt."
