Kel walked out the practice room feeling worse then ever, not only had Dom and Neal beaten her in every duel, she had also managed to break two fingers in her left hand. Hungry because of the healing she has just had, Kel made her way to the great hall, hoping to catch the last of lunchtime food. Not bothering to put her sword away first, Kel walked through the open doors and made her way to the Gryffindor table and spotting Bill sat down.
'Hey,' said Bill as soon as Kel had sat herself down.
'Hello,' replied Kel with a huge grin before grabbing a plate of food.
For a while Bill just watched as Kel devoured the plate of food and when she filled it up again, broke the silence.
'Hungry are we?' He joked, mischief making his eyes shine.
'Hahaha, you're such a joker,' said Kel with a roll of her eyes. 'If you really must know I broke my fingers and Neal had to heal them and healing makes me hungry.' She finished, showing her fingers as proof.
Looking at Bill's shocked face Kel was worried that she had said something to upset him.
'How'd he do that?' He said before Kel could utter a word. 'Even I can't heal people properly, it's something most people don't learn until they're out of school.'
'Oh,' said Kel, relieved that Bill wasn't angry. 'He's known how to do it for as long as I've known him and before. He doesn't use his wand to do it if that's what you mean. He used the gift.'
Bill seemed even more shocked by this that Kel wasn't sure what to do, but before she could ask what was wrong, Bill stood up.
'Look Kel I've got to go to a meeting, sorry. I really must ask Neal to show me his 'gift' as you called it. See ya later though?'
'Yeah sure,' said Kel and watched as Bill gave a smile and then walked out the great hall, meeting a brown haired girl in the hall.
Kel followed Bill out the door at a slower pace and instead of taking a right, she took a left, following the stairs up to the Gryffindor Common Room, hoping to find Charlie, Neal and Dom. Entering the room Kel noticed hordes of people looking at the notice board and elbowing her way through the crowed she came across a large message written on golden paper.
'Quidditch try outs' was printed in large crimson writing across the page and before Kel could read any further two large hands grabbed her shoulders, pulling her out the crowd. Letting her Yamani training take over, Kel spun around and placing her hip in between her attackers legs threw him heavily onto the ground. About to finish with a punch to the stomach Kel finally noticed who her attacker was. Pinned under her body weight Kel looked into the face of Charlie and quickly got up, blushing bright red.
Looking around to see the large group of students who had gathered to see the fight, Kel, if possible, blushed an even darker shade of red.
'Wow,' Charlie seemed to be mumbling to himself. 'Merlin's beard,
wow.'
Kel offering her hand to help her friend mumbled an apology, 'Sorry Charlie,
I'm so sorry.'
Charlie, still in shock, just nodded his head and then shaking his head from side to side seemed to snap out of his shock.
'Nah Kel,' he said, excepting her apology. 'I should really learn not to sneak up on people like that. I WAS just coming down to see if you wanted to come up to our dorm? I'm teaching Dom and Neal how to play exploding snap.' He finished, waiting for an answer.
Kel seeing that she was forgiven nodded her head, still embarrassed for what she had done.
Walking into the dorm Kel was amazed at how much mess four boys could make, she could even tell which boy slept where by the different types of messes.
Clothes covered Dom's space and the quilt was thrown across the bed, most of it landing on the floor, his pillows nowhere in sight. Along with the normal messes that each boy had, Dom still had his sword out and it seemed he was half way in between cleaning his weapons by the look of all the rags and blade sharpeners that lay around. As for Neal, you could barely see the floor or bed because of the piles upon piles of books strewn everywhere, but by far Charlie's corner of the room was the most curious. Glass jars and boxes took up every inch of space, animal living in all of them. Books upon books were opened to pages showing information on the likes of animals Kel had never seen and the words 'dragon training' were written on the cover if the only unopened book in the room.
Pulling her gaze away from Charlie's bed, Kel noticed that her friends were sitting in the middle of the floor each holding little slips of paper and sitting down in between Charlie and Dom she saw that each card had a number on it, accompanied by a strange symbol.
Kel listened as Charlie dealt her some of the cards, explaining the rules of the game. Although the game in itself didn't seem all too difficult it was Charlie's explaining that had Kel completely and utterly confused.
'You'll learn,' he said clapping her on the shoulder with a cheerful grin.
--
When the four friends left for dinner hours latter Kel was just as confused as she had been in the first place and coming to a conclusion she decided there were just too many rules.
Over the course of the game Dom had gotten exceptionally good at playing, so good in fact he even beaten Charlie one or two times, leaving Kel and Neal struggling with learning the rules.
'You guys should try out for Quidditch,' exclaimed Charlie, breaking the companionable silence. 'Well, maybe not,' he continued, seeming to think better of it. 'Maybe you should just come and watch.'
'I,' began Neal in his most aristocratic drawl. 'Shall not be trying out for that brutish game you call a sport.'
His sentence caused both Kel and Dom role their eyes while Charlie on the other hand tackled Neal into a large bear hug, making him beg for mercy, only to be saved by Bill moments later.
