Out of The Shadows (Golden Trio Era) {1}

Lions VS Badgers

Mikayla woke up early the next morning due to nerves, this is her first ever Quidditch match after being on the team for a year. She got dressed before making her way down to the common room, when she arrived in the room it was empty and pitch black, Mikayla slammed her toe off the edge of the couch, "Fuck." She whispers grabbing her foot and hopping in the spot trying to ease the pain. The lights flickered on, the shapes of Fred and George Weasley came into view, "what are you doing?" George asked suspiciously, "just stubbed my toe." She explained before relaxing, by lowering her injure foot to the ground. "What are you two doing up?" Mikayla asked, she knew the answer probably has something to do with a prank. "Actually you know what? Never mind I don't want to know." Mikayla walked out of the portrait making her way down to the Great Hall.

"Hello Harry, how are you feeling?" Mikayla asked taking a seat beside the green eyed boy, soon the rest of the team showed up surrounding the duo. Oliver wasn't eating because he was so worried about the outcome of the match. "Let's go get ready." Mikayla told her team after 20 minutes of eating, it was 11. They all rushed down to the changing rooms, Mikayla caught Malfoy laughing at Harry, "Lapsus." She whispered staring at Malfoy, the sleek blonde haired boy slipped, covering himself in mud. Harry looked around and Mikayla quickly held in her laughter as she finished rushing into the changing room. Wood was struggling with a pep talk so Mikayla decided to help him out.

"We've trained with worse weather than this and our skill has scared the Slytherins out of competing against us in this weather. The Hufflepuff might have a new captain and seeker but we have the best team in this school. Wood, our magnificent Keeper who trains us to be prepared for anything, Bell who can swerve anyone who tried to get in her way, Spinnet who has the best aim in any weather, Fred and George, the human bludgers can hit anything that tries to hurt their teammates, Potter the youngest seeker in a century, who's quick and reliable. WE CAN DO THIS! Now let's show them badgers how you play Quidditch." The teamed cheered and hugged, Mikayla held Harry's shoulder as she took a deep sharp breath becoming entrapped in a vision

*Harry and Cedric are flying way above the pitch, the snitch barely out of reach for the both of them. Cedric begins falling after getting electrocuted by the Golden Snitch, leaving Harry is in the guts of the thunderstorm alone. The air gets colder than it already is, Harry's breath begins to mist. He see a cloud in the shape of an angry dog's head before the snitch approached him, reminding him what he was doing. Harry chased the Snitch before a black cloaked figure appears in front of him, it's mouth sucking loudly, Harry hears screaming and begs of mercy from a woman, his mother. Harry begins to fall from the sky from about 150 metres up. Everything goes black.*

Mikayla returns to earth just as Wood orders them to follow him onto the pitch, the players could barely stand, they had to stagger sideways because of the wind. None of the players could hear anything, Mikayla relied on her lip reading skills to see 'Mount your brooms', Mikayla mounted her Nimbus 2000, just before Madam Hooch blows the whistle to start the game. Mikayla kicked off hard, rising into her first position. Madam Hooch release all the balls, Mikayla swerved the Hufflepuff Chaser, Malcolm Preece, catching the Quaffle. Mikayla storms through the other Hufflepuff chasers, Tamsin Applebee and Heidi Macavoy. Mikayla quickly passes the Quaffle to Alicia, who scores against Herbert Fleet. Mikayla couldn't here the commentary, but she was able to see clearly, Mikayla dodges a bludger sent from Anthony Rickett. Mikayla blocks a pass from Applebee to Preece, knocking the large red ball into Katie Bell's hands.

The score was 70 to 20 in Gryffindors favour, Oliver called a time-out, Harry finally came into Mikayla's view, she relaxed a bit. Wood led the team under a large umbrella on the edge of the pitch, "What's the score?" Harry asked wiping his glasses aggressively, "We're fifty points up, but unless we get the Snitch soon, we'll be playing into the night." Wood informs them, and Harry complains about his glasses, "Show me." Mikayla held out her hand for Harry's glasses, "Impervius." Mikayla taps the glasses with her wand, handing them back to Harry, "Now, they'll repel water." Harry nods, "I could kiss you O'Brien." Wood jumps towards the blonde who quickly moves back, placing her hand between their faces, "Please don't." This caused the rest of the team to laugh. "OK, team, let's go for it." Wood yells, before the team rose again.

Bell's broom catch on fire after being struck by lightening, she almost knocked Mikayla off her broom, Fred helped her back on her broom before hitting a bludger towards Rickett as hard as possible. Harry and Cedric flew past the blonde before climbing towards the clouds. Mikayla grabbed the Quaffle off Macavoy, Passing it to Spinnet, dodges a falling Cedric before receiving the Quaffle again, and scoring. The air got colder, Mikayla felt as though the ice was forming inside her lungs, she quickly realised what was happening, she turned around, "HARRY!" she yelled rushing through the pitch to catch her best friend, she was about 10 feet away from him, before she took a bludger to the head. The bludger caused her to spin uncontrollably towards the ground. She hit the ground hard, hearing a loud crack come from her collarbone, "I'm fine, get Harry." She told the students that followed Madam Pomfrey onto the pitch. "Episkey." A click followed the incantation, Mikayla hopped back onto her broom and flew back up to the game.

She definitely wasn't fine, her vision was blurred, a loud ringing filled her ears and blood flowed slowly out of the side of her cheek where the bludger hit. She took a deep breath and focused her mind, before charging towards Wood. "Wood, we've already lost, do you want me to go after the snitch and stop the game?" Oliver nodded, Mikayla surveyed the sky finding Cedric chasing a golden ball a couple of feet away from her. Mikayla darted to the boys side, not taking her eye off the snitch. Mikayla sped forward leaving Cedric behind her as she grabbed the snitch, "O'BRIENS CAUGHT THE SNITCH, HUFFLEPUFF WIN, 340-310." Lee announces, Mikayla was relieved that they didn't lose too badly, the adrenaline her body had been using to keep her up, was slowly failing, Mikayla hit the ground hard once again, this time she didn't get back up.
