Dray changed into her Quidditch robes and met Ellie out on the field. Even though they had just admitted feelings for one another, they still had a season to prepare for. She felt like she could take on the whole world right now but she had her reservations- not about Ellie because she was perfect but telling her family. Dray was sure her parents wouldn't be accepting of her new found love but Dray couldn't afford to think about that right now. "Hey," Dray held her broom in hand and walked over to the center of the pitch, leaning in to press a kiss to her cheek.

Other than Dray was Ellie actually more absorbed in thoughts, no real reservations but rather something she loved to call tizzyness, regarding their admitted feelings for one another, than feeling uncomfortable about telling her family or, more precisely, her father, which might be her only but greatest family she could have asked for. He loved what she did and vice versa. Her happiness always had been of most importance to him. Also, Ellie would never contemplate hiding anything from him about what was going on in her life, especially not if this was regarding finally have confessed to her true love.
"Hey,", Dray greeted her when Ellie approached her on the field a little late, naturally. But that wasn't something new for her friend anyway.
"Hey.", she casually greeted back before Dray pressed a kiss to her cheek. Ellie felt a blush emerging on it. Now where it was only the two of them, it felt a little different or maybe just she felt a little different as for her openness. She knew she didn't have to, but still, she did. Not in a negative way though, but in kind of a completely new way.
"So, uh, shall we?", Ellie asked somewhat composed and sheepishly at the same time, giving her friend a sincere smile though.

"So, uh, shall we?" Dray nodded and summoned her broom from the side and mounted it.
"Let's see what you got, Keeper." She winked and grabbed a Quaffle and flew up and waited for Ellie to get into position. "Your the best Keeper in Hufflepuff history, Ellie, let's use that to our advantage." She winked and started to fly around a bit, she wanted Ellie to watch her a bit before she made her way towards the hoops. She came at her quickly and tossed the Quaffle at the left post and waited to see Ellie's reaction.

"Let's see what you got, Keeper."
Ellie's eyes were following Dray's flight towards her position on the field. Something in her friend's words or maybe just in her usual way of talking made Ellie forget about this sudden new feeling of inhibition at once. Dray was still the same person, just as they were still sharing the same friendship as before; with the only difference that it had been gentrified to premium, so to speak. Ellie's lips raised to a joyful grin, as she flew up on her broom to get into positition as well.
"Your the best Keeper in Hufflepuff history, Ellie, let's use that to our advantage."
"Okay gal, stop these flummeries and lemme see what you got instead.", she suddenly called out with an exaggerated gesture of the average keeper, a rather brawny performer, before she quickly added with her normal voice and countenance: "Haha, sorry, just buggerin' around. The best Keeper can only stand out with the best Chaser, y'know."
When Dray finally neared the hoops, about to toss the Quaffle, Ellie was instantly in gaming mode. The Keeper's job was not only to be a good fielder but also to be a good reader. Either you were trusting on your luck for which side you would decide to rush to, or you were trying to scan and to interpret the Chaser's hidden signals. With Dray as her rival though, who indeed was one of the best Chasers Hogwarts might have seen, this was a very hard job and in conclusion, went down to mostly luck after all.
Ellie decided on the right post, actually the left from her friend's point of view, and managed to catch the Quaffle last minute.

"Okay gal, stop these flummeries and lemme see what you got instead. Haha, sorry, just buggerin' around. The best Keeper can only stand out with the best Chaser, y'know." Dray chuckled and faked her out a couple times, which is why she only caught the Quaffle last minute.
"Almost missed that," She flew closer and took the Quaffle back from Ellie, leaning in and placing a kiss on her lips. "Let's try that again." She winked and flew off to the other side of the pitch. She weaved in and out of the poles before making a break towards Ellie. "Here it comes." She went to fake throw it into the center before rolling slightly and aiming for the left, she watched it fly.

Ellie felt a new wave of adrenalin pumping through her veins when Dray's lips met with hers. This, for sure, was the best way of training she ever had.
"Let's try that again."
"Okay, c'mon. Show me what you've got.", Ellie called out to her friend who was already flying off to the other side of the pitch.
"Here it comes."
Ellie was ready for the catch, rubbing her hands in preparation, but this time Dray managed to actually outjockey her. Of course, both girls were very talented, but it wasn't completely excepted that the little smile right before Dray had thrown the Quaffle, had her distracted a little.
Ellie turned to the left post the Quaffle just had flown through, before drawing her attention back to Dray. With a wide grin, she stated: "Here's hoping you won't make use of your charmin' smile on the opposing team's Keeper, even though that might work out." Of course, that was only a joke and she was sure Dray would get it as just that.

"Here's hoping you won't make use of your charmin' smile on the opposing team's Keeper, even though that might work out." Dray couldn't help the laugh that left her lips. Taking out her wand she called the Quaffle back to her and caught it.
"I promise I will only use charm in emergencies," She moved in closer and cupped her chin, "I'll try not to distract you during practice, that way you can focus on protecting the hoops."
This relationship would be good for them but how would they fair on the pitch? She wondered if they would continue to distract each other? No, she was sure once they were in it, they would do just fine.
"We're going to rule the pitch this year," She leaned in and gave her another kiss.

"I promise I will only use charm in emergencies,"
At that, Ellie went into a pretended huff, though she just couldn't be serious for too long. It was like simply not in her nature. Maybe that lack of seriousness was actually deep-routed in the Sparks family genes in light of the fact that her father didn't even stop his smiling and joking in the worst and most forlorn times. Oh, she just couldn't wait to tell him about Dray!
Dray finally managed to draw Ellie's attention back with some more of her charm. "I'll try not to distract you during practice, that way you can focus on protecting the hoops."
Ellie didn't notice the sudden thoughtfulness on her best friend's face; maybe she didn't because, as for herself, she wasn't even wasting a thought of their relationship could cause any danger to their Quidditch careers. How could something so great cause danger to anything at all?
"We're going to rule the pitch this year,"
"You bet!", she agreed with a wide smile before adding: "But first we gotta condition you to whatever may come at the Triwizard! Oh, my God! Can you believe it?!" Her excitement about Dray really had thrown her name into the goblet got the better of Ellie once again before she had to remind herself that there was still one other step to take. The choosing.

"You bet! But first we gotta condition you to whatever may come at the Triwizard! Oh, my God! Can you believe it?!" Dray couldn't believe it, Triwizard, it was going to be such a crazy ride. So many amazing competitors to go up against, wouldn't it be amazing to win?
"I think we should assemble the rest of the team. Focus on Quidditch, I don't even know if I'll be picked yet." She smirked and leaned in to give her another kiss, "Come on, let's run a few more laps before we give the team a shout."
End.

After a disappointing evening Sirius decided to went to the Quidditch Pitch this morning. They would enter to Hogsmeade, a Magican town near Hogwarts, today. Of course, he was curious about that place, but that didn’t change his mood after all. It wasn’t fair that he wasn’t picked up instead of Parkinson! She even didn’t want to be part of the Tournament.
Maybe some Quidditch training would make him feel better… They choose him to be the Seeker of Slytherin’s Quidditch team a short while ago but today it felt a bit stale.
Sirius didn’t notice that he grabbed his broom tightly not before his knuckels were aiching. He eased his grip teeth-gnashingly. No matter how much he railed against his fate he couldn’t change it! So it didn’t make sense in the end. Sirius gave a sigh, bestrode his broom and soared into the air. Time for some pitches…

Shane exhaled the crisp mountain air as he approached the Quidditch pitch. Peering around the enormous field of greenery decorated with goal posts and Hogwarts house colours, the happiness in his heart beamed through the smile that dawned upon his face. Sure this wasn't his school, let alone his home country, but stepping foot onto this field eased the homesick feelings that had surfaced that morning. No matter where he was in the world, Shane was thankful that the thing he loved most would always be there.
Suddenly, Shane's gaze tilted upwards as he noticed a single player on the field rising into the air on a broomstick. Shane had been caught by surprise, as he did not expect anyone else to be out here as Hogwarts classes and team practices had been postponed in celebration of the tournament. Whoever the player was, they were clearly in the zone and knew exactly what they were doing. Without disturbing the player at work Shane moved his way to one of the spectator benches nearby, excited to see a Hogwarts student's Quidditch skills in motion.

Sirius didn’t notice that there was another student at the Pitch. He was too much engrossed in his Quidditch training. So blowing the cobwebs away worked anyhow.
First he did some strikes and pitches with a quaffle. Although he was the seeker now it couldn’t hurt to do so. Second he tried to improve his flight skills. During a match the players had to do many different maneuvers. The last maneuver he fulfilled was a difficult special one that his father had created on his own. Jonah called it Free Fall from Hill. And it was a kind of free fall indeed. For some seconds you loose the grip from your broomstick. Sirius had trained this move with his father many times. He managed it. But he remembered some people who also had tried it and failed – many got injured.
After that Sirius decided to finish his training. He flew back to the ground and suddenly noticed the other young man. He was sitting at one of the benches. Sirius dismounted from his broom and started to head over to the other student. It was too late to turn around and go away when he finally realized who it was. Shane! Why the hell of all things he?! But he couldn’t help himself to struggle for a moment and stop. "Oh, hey there, Shane!", was all he said.

Shane quickly settled into his spot on the spectators bench as the player began to put the practice into motion. As Shane attentively watched the single player practice, he was rather surprised by the skills that this person possessed. Sure, Shane never did doubt the Quidditch players at Hogwarts as some of the best professional athletes in the industry had been cultivated at this very school. Yet, the level of dexterity in this person's strikes and pitches left Shane simply amazed, he had never seen anyone play like this in a long time.
Then something happened that Shane did not expect. The player dived down on their broomstick, beginning to free fall at a rapid speed. Shane watched in absolute horror, he wanted to call out to the player yet his vocal chords were frozen in fright. Just as the player appeared to loose grip of the broomstick, Shane jolted to his feet as his fists grabbed the railing in front of him as he prepared to brace himself for the worst. Instead, the player recovered with little to no effort and carried along with the practice. Shane's jaw dropped to the floor in disbelief as he realized the player had done this on purpose. Only once in his life did Shane ever witness someone else perform a free fall so perfectly. "Free Fall from Hill...," Shane uttered to himself as his complexion turned white as a ghost, "But how?"
As the player dismounted, Shane watched as he contemplated on going down to the field to congratulate the player on their unearthly level of expertise. Shane's gaze narrowed in closer at the face of the player and realized that this person was no stranger.
"Oh, hey there, Shane!"
Shane's heart thudded loudly as he fell completely dumbfounded. Emily Hill....so it would be true then. The maneuver she just completed was sheer confirmation to Shane that she was the product of the famous Quidditch player and blood relation to Shane's long lost friend.
"Emily, hi!" Shane slid his hand over the railing as he began to scurry down the benches, making his way down to her, "So when where you going to tell me that you're the next Quidditch prodigy?" Shane asked, still completed struck with awe.

"Emily, hi!" Shane came over to him in his usual cool manner. Oh, how he missed the good old times. They both belonge to the cool guys at Ilvermorny. Yet he remembered what he all had left behind when moving from America to start a new life. "So when where you going to tell me that you're the next Quidditch prodigy?" "Ha ha, thanks," he started a bit shy. Not because he was embarrassed because of the compliment but because the fact that the whole situation felt weird. "It was always my goal to become a player in the Quidditch League from my earliest childhood," he admitted. "My father teached me many tricks and maneuvers… before… " He stopped for two reasons: The first one was that he felt like having a lump in his throat speaking of his father. The second one was that he feared Shane would start a talk about their past and… And what? Should he rather trust him? They have been friends. If there was one person he could trust at this place it was Shane Hudson!

"It was always my goal to become a player in the Quidditch League from my earliest childhood," "My father teached me many tricks and maneuvers… before… "
"I'm sorry...,"As Shane now stood right before Emily, he pursed his lips together and gave a nod of condolence before shifting his weight nervously into one leg, "Your father...he was J.J Hill, wasn't he?" Shane folded his arms as his hands grabbed onto both of his biceps as he peered down at the ground as he spoke, then allowed his gaze to drift from the ground and back up to Emily upon the end of his question to observe her reaction.

"I'm sorry...," So he have heard about the tragical accident. Of course he had. But it had happened at the beginning of their summer vacations. Sirius had never talked to Shane about his father’s death. Maybe it could be his opportunity now. "Your father...he was J.J. Hill, wasn't he?" It was never easy to talk about his father to anyone since that sad day. He didn’t really realize Shane’s behavior because he also dropped his gaze onto his hand on his broomstick. The broomstick his father had gave him – the last gift he got from him. But then Sirius pulled himself together. It was time to speak some truth – of course, not all of it. He didn’t want to reveal the story of his ancestors especially of his grandfather Sirius Black (senior). "Yes, he was. And I’m very proud of this. But…," he paused for a moment and looked at his old friend with a conspirational eye.
"Okay, listen: I’ll tell you the whole story – but you’ve to promise to keep it! It‘s really important. You’ve to trust me, Shane, please…" This time there was a very familiar look between his disguise Emily and his real self Sirius. Maybe it would remind Shane of Siriu’s face when he had asked him for his trust many times before – mostly when he wanted to cause some mischief.

"Yes, he was. And I’m very proud of this. But…," "Okay, listen: I’ll tell you the whole story – but you’ve to promise to keep it! It‘s really important..."
A sudden sense of familiarity washed over Shane. He couldn't explain the force at work, yet his body began to shudder as Emily uttered words in a way that was unexpected.
"You’ve to trust me, Shane, please…"
And it wasn't the words itself, but Shane recognized mannerisms that arose from within Emily. And all of a sudden, Shane was transported back into time itself by the memories that surfaced. Memories of Sirius standing before Shane, persuading him to become a partner in crime in a situation where they usually got in trouble for mischief caused. Times like those were hard to beat, and they were some of the best moments the two friends had shared together, up until Sirius vanished.
"What did you say?" Shane was taken aback and tried to avoid leaving his jaw dropped open, yet his emotions began to take over, "Sorry, Emily, that wasn't like myself. You just reminded me of someone I used to know. Someone that I could call a best friend...," Tears began to flood Shane's eyes. His cheeks grew slightly red of embarrassment as he immediately wiped the stream of tears away with his hands, "They must have cut the grass this morning, my allergies are flaring up something terrible," Shane smiled before he chuckled in attempt to hide what he was feeling right now, "Excuse me." Shane quickly departed from the Quidditch pitch, leaving Emily standing by herself. He ran hard and fast, before finding himself in isolation behind a thick of trees. Pressing his back up against the trunk of one of the trees, Shane's heavy heart weighed in his chest. Crumbling slowly to the ground, he wept for Sirius and would give anything to speak to him one last time.

Something happened to Shane while Sirius was speaking to him. It looked like he wasn’t really with him at this moment. Like he remembered something in the past. At this moment Sirius so heavily wanted to tell the truth to his old friend – everything including who he really was! "What did you say?" "Sorry, Emily, that wasn't like myself. You just reminded me of someone I used to know. Someone that I could call a best friend...," 'I know,' was what he wanted to say. But he kept in silence this time. Did he really see Tears on his face? Suddenly he had to pull himself up to not cry himself. Although he missed his old friends a lot he never really thought about their feelings about his sudden vanishment. "They must have cut the grass this morning, my allergies are flaring up something terrible," Good old Shane. Always the cool guy. But before Sirius could react his old friend decided to leave the place. "Excuse me."
Sirius let him go. Even if he was on the brink to unburden his heart to him. Maybe there would be a chance to do so during their visit to Hogsmeade. So Sirius also left the Quidditch Pitch to prepare himself for the trip.
