Into The Light (Golden Trio Era) {2}

Replacing Wood

"Do you mind sharing what you added?" Hermione questioned, "Murtlap Essence, Lionfish Spine and Mandrake leaves. All of which have different healing properties-" Hermione cut Mikayla off, "Essentially making the Ultimate Healing Potion." Mikayla coughed shaking her head, "I wouldn't go that far Hermione." "Only two drops of that stuff healed your hand completely as thought it never happened." Mikayla nodded, "You should tell someone." Mikayla shook her head no, causing Hermione to give her a confused look, "Do you know how much trouble I'll get in for brewing outside of class? Especially experimenting, I could get expelled." Hermione realised the truth behind Mikayla's words, "What about Fred and George? they invent heaps of things." "There 17, legally they can do what they want." Hermione nods understandingly. "Now, tomorrow when Harry gets back from detention use it on him, I'll be at Quidditch TryOuts and I need you to swear not to tell anyone. Which I hate to do because I know how much being a Prefect means to you but I need you to promise." "I promise." The girls share a hug, Hermione hides the vial in the room to prevent any of their roommates stumbling on it. Mikayla put her potion kit and cauldron back into her trunk, leaving the potions in her blue bag and hid it on top of the fourposters roof.

Mikayla was a lot happier today now that she had Quidditch to focus on. Harry on the other hand looked more put out than ever. "Harry follow me for a second." Mikayla said once they had finished their lunch, she led Harry to an abandoned corridor, "So... em." "Spit it out will you." Harry snapped, Mikayla was taken aback, "First of all, stop jumping down my neck. And second of all, I wanted to warn you about Umbridge's detention." Harry apologised for snapping before asking Mikayla to continue, "Right, em you have to write lines with a Blood Quill, in other words the ink is your blood." Mikayla looked around the corridor before leaning into Harry's ear, "Now I've given Hermione the healing potion I used. It will completely heal your cuts." Mikayla whispers, before standing away from the boy, who looked as if he didn't believe a word Mikayla said. "It hurts quite a lot, so just try and hold it together and don't give that foul woman the satisfaction of hurting you." Mikayla then turned and stormed off away from her friend to the Gryffindor Common Room, collecting her stuff for Arithmancy.

Mikayla looked at herself in her quidditch training gear, sighing in content before meeting the rest of the team, except Harry, in the common room. "Great, right let's find ourselves a new Keeper." Alicia smiles leading the team out to the Quidditch pitch, Mikayla was joking around with Katie, as they bet who would score more on the newbies. When they arrived on the pitch, they saw about 20 people waiting, they were all fighting over gear and talking loudly. The team came to a standstill, "Alright. Hello everyone." Alicia spoke in her normal tone, but the newbies just kept talking. Alicia nodded at Mikayla, "SHUT IT AND LINE UP." Mikayla yelled in a demanding tone, within seconds they were in a line waiting to hear their next instruction, Mikayla smiled and waved over at Ron, who looked dreadful. "Right we're only looking for a keeper, so, leave if you don't want to play keeper." The Majority left leaving only four possible keepers. "Right." Alicia smiled before huddling with her team, "We have Geoffrey Hopper, Vicky Frobisher, Ronald Weasley and Cormac McLaggen. Thoughts?" Fred nodded, "No to McLaggen, he tried to force himself onto Mikayla a while back." The girls eyes widened looking at Mikayla, asking if it was true, which Mikayla nodded to. "Right, we'll let him try out but there's no way he's getting on this team." Mikayla smiled at her Captain happily. "Now, lets put them through the ringer." They all nod, "Frobisher, you're up first." Alicia explains that all she has to do is stop the chasers from scoring and avoid the bludgers. "Hopper you're number two, when Mikayla shouts your number swap with Frobisher, Weasley Number three and McLaggen number four." All the keepers nod understanding the system.

Vicky Frobisher. She was a great flyer, saved 2/5 goals and forgot about the bludgers that Mikayla had to fly her out of the way on multiple occasions. "TWO." Mikayla yelled getting the signal from Alicia. Geoffrey Hopper, saved 4/5 goals, was well aware of the bludgers but continuously complained that Mikayla goal that went in shouldn't have counted because he was occupied with the bludger. "THREE." Mikayla yelled and Ron flew up unsteadily, Mikayla flew to meet him, "Ron, you'll do great you just need to relax a bit ok?" Ron nodded, "Oh and watch chasers feet, they usually point to with hoop they're shooting for." She smiled flying away, "What was that about?" Katie questions Mikayla in a yell, "Just told him to relax." Katie nodded, before catching the Quaffle and darting towards Ron. Ronald Weasley, saved 3/5, avoided bludgers, not that great of a flyer due to nerves and Alicia smiled at him meaning she liked him. "FOUR!" Mikayla yelled, McLaggen took his place at the hoops, Mikayla was the first to head for the goal, he was watching her feet, she turned them to the right before shooting for the left and scoring. Cormac McLaggen. Git, alright flyer, saved 2/5 goals, got hit by a bludger (Thanks to Fred) and was overall whining saying that they went harder on him.

The team was back on the ground, "When will our practices and games?" Frobisher asked, "Why?" Alicia asked, "because if it clashes with my Charm Club, I will pick Charms." The team went into a huddle, "Frobisher and McLaggen are a no go." Alicia said, before Katie speaks up, "I don't like how whiny Hopper got when Mikayla scored." The rest of the team nodded in agreement, before they all turned around. "Ronald Weasley. Congratulations and welcome to the team." The team cheered and gave Ron a group hug, "As for the rest of you, sorry you didn't make the cut." McLaggen went to dart towards Alicia but Mikayla stood in his way. "You have been dismissed. Leave." Mikayla spoke with anger boiling over on the inside, "Whatever." Cormac pushed Mikayla by the shoulders before stepping away waiting for retaliation but Mikayla simply just stared him down, he turned and left in an angry fit of rage. "Congrats Ron." Mikayla gave Ron a big ole hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks M." Mikayla nodded, "Let's celebrate!" Fred and George chime together wrapping their airs around the pair of fifth years.

Ron spotted Hermione and rushed over to tell her the great news, Mikayla noticed Harry's absence meaning he was still with Umbridge. "Can you two wait a second before you leave?" Mikayla asked the twins, they nodded taking a seat near the door. Mikayla ran upstairs and grabbed her blue bag, taking some golden coins out of her purse, owl treats, and a small vial of her healing potion, before rushing back downstairs. She hands the boys money, "Make sure you get something for everyone." The boys nodded happily. Mikayla excused herself to go to the owlery, saying that Selene never dropped in this morning. When she reaches the owlery, she spots Selene looking all ruffled and her wing looked badly injured. "Selene. δέος μωρό είσαι εντάξει?" (Selene. Awe baby are you okay?) Mikayla approaches the barn owl, little touching her wing, Selene went to peck Mikayla. "Καθίστε ακόμα, θα θεραπεύσω την πτέρυγα σας." My tells her owl to sit still and she'll heal her wing. Selene remains calm, Mikayla moves some of Selene's feathers to see the wing was detached slightly and bleeding. Unscrewing the healing potion and dropping three drops on the injury using her index and middle finger to rub in the potion. Selene let's out a happy hoot before testing her wing, seeing it was functional again, the owl rubbed her head against Mikayla's open palm. "Καλή κοπέλα, εδώ είναι μια απόλαυση." (Good girl, here's a treat.) Mikayla gives Selene a few treats before taking two letters off the bird. One from 'Sirius' and the other from Bill.
