A/N: Hope everyone's enjoying the story so far. Just a quick note, I changed Kiana from a chaser to a seeker. I changed a little bit of the story line for future chapters and that was needed to be changed.
Chapter Three
Kiana's POV
I clutched my Firebolt as me, Georgie, Eve and Jack made our way down to the quidditch pitch. It was now a Sunday and it had been about two weeks since I last talked to Draco. Every time he attempted to talk to me I either ignored him or just walked away. I felt a twinge of guilt each time I saw his face drop in disappointment but I always reminded myself of the stories Eve and Georgie told me. Then there was Professor Denton. He always stared at me in class and if I ever needed help he would always bend over so that our heads were so close. Coming up to the crowd on the pitch made me forget Professor Denton and Draco's face and the four of us made our way up to the quidditch captain.
An extremely hot seventh year Ravenclaw stood with a clipboard and his nimbus 2001 by his side.
"Kiana Walton, Georgie Johnson, Eve Ronson and Jack Derwood are here to try out for a seeker, two chaser positions and a keeper." I told him, trying hard not to check him out.
He looked up and a smile spread across his face when he saw me.
"Excellent. Well I'm Patrick Saltner, the Ravenclaw quidditch captain and I play beater. I just want the chasers over there, seeker over there and the keeper over there." he said pointing out groups.
I went over to the seeker group by myself, Eve and Jack moved over to the chaser group and Georgie reluctantly went by herself to the keeper group. Patrick started on the chasers and weeded out the weaker players with simple yet effective drills. Soon there were only five people left which included Eve and Jack. Patrick then got the keepers to do the same drills and then there were only Georgie and this fourth year left. After that the chasers were trying to score against Georgie and the boy. Patrick made them stop and brought on the three boys who were trying out for beater. In the end it was Patrick's friend Freddy who made the team. Next was the seeker's turn. Georgie, Eve and Jack cheered from the stands as I rose in the air. All my nerves left me and I started on the drills. After the drills instead of ten people, three were left to try out. Patrick made us capture snitches by ourselves. A fifth year guy went first and took nine minutes, then a third year boy who took 13 minutes. Just as Patrick released the snitch for me, I saw the Slytherin team march onto the pitch.
"What do you want Malfoy?" Patrick asked noticing them.
"I need to practise with my team and we had the pitch booked for 3pm, so beat it." Draco demanded.
"Look, we just have one more person to try out and then you can have the pitch." Patrick said with a sigh.
"Hmmm, that's ok. I want to see which mudblood loser is going to try out." he teased.
"I can I go then since I'm the mudblood loser to try out?" I snarled. Eve and Georgie were so right about him being a jerk.
He looked around shocked and found me glaring at him.
"Just go Kiana, I'm timing you." Patrick said.
I hopped onto my broom and flew into the air. I ignored everyone as my eyes darted around for the snitch. I had been flying for two minutes when I spotted it. At the other end of the pitch right in front of the middle hoop's pole. Flying at full speed, I sped towards the pole. It was coming closer and closer and the snitch looked so bright. Reaching out my hand I caught the golden ball and only had a second to pull up and avoid crashing with the metal pole. Landing gracefully on the ground with everybody else, I sent a glare at Draco and shoved the snitch into Patrick's hand.
"Okay, the team list will be put up on the common room board." Patrick announced.
Stalking off with Eve, Georgie and Jack, we made our way to the kitchens to grab a late lunch. By now I had memorised every secret passage, corridor, classroom and staircase off by heart and I reckon I could have made my way round the school with my eyes shut.
Eating our sandwiches that we had gotten from the house elves, we walked back to the common room and collapsed on the sofas and armchairs.
"You are so gonna make seeker!" Jack said with his mouth full.
"And you are so putting me off my food when you speak with your mouth full." I smirked at him.
Me, Eve and George left Jack alone in the common room while we went up to our dorm to have showers and get changed. While I was in the shower, I got the biggest urge to sing. The first song that came to my head was a muggle song called Burnin Up by Ashlee Simpson. I didn't realise at first but I was actually thinking about Draco when I was singing.
"Every time that you're walking by
I feel the vibe inside
There's something about the way you are that's giving me butterflies
Maybe the planets have aligned
Maybe it's all in my mind
So let me just introduce myself before I get too shy
I've seen you in my dreams at night to you I fantasize
You caught my eye, you're just so fine
You caught my eye, you're just so fine
I'm burning
Up for you
I'm burning
Up for you
I see diamonds in the sky
Touch my hand and I can fly
All this is a mystery
So come on and dance with me
I can't believe it's 4 a.m.
Where did the time go
I could sit here for days just hanging with you alone
We got an instant history
Some supernatural chemistry
Can't you feel it, feel it ,oh
But I'm giving you my number now before this goes too far
It's getting really hot in here
And soon it will be hard to say goodnight
The times not right so say goodnight
Before I die
You make me feel
Like fire
Is this love or just desire
You make me feel
Like fire
Is this love or just desire"
Coming out of the bathroom dressed in dark purple skinny legged jeans and a black top, I found Eve and Georgie standing right outside the door.
"Why didn't you tell us you could sing?!" demanded Georgie.
"Ummm…never came up." I shyly said.
Eve was just about to say something but stopped. She looked confused and looked at Georgie. Turning back she said "Touché."
"Come on, dinner will be served soon and I'm hungry after quidditch." I suggested.
"Fine, but we will be asking you more about singing later." Georgie guaranteed.
I laughed and started out the door. Walking through the common room, I saw a crowd of people standing round the notice board. Most of the guys made a pathway for me to go through and I finally reached the board. The quidditch team list was up and I saw that the following.
Chasers: Eve Ronson (sixth year), Jack Derwood (sixth year), Alex Carter (fifth year)
Keeper: Georgie Johnson (sixth year)
Beaters: Patrick Saltner CAPTAIN (seventh year), Freddy Zinter (seventh year)
Seeker: Kiana Walton (sixth year)
Giving a squeal, I made it out of the crowd to find Eve, Georgie and Jack.
"We made the team!" I cried, hugging them all.
"Awesome, we're going to have the best team." responded Jack.
"Yea well that was why I picked you all." a voice said behind me.
I whipped around to find Patrick standing there looking happy. I jumped on him giving him a hug and getting one in return.
"We were just about to go to dinner. You wanna come?" I asked him.
He nodded eagerly and the five of us made our way down to the great hall. Sitting down next to Patrick, I piled food on my plate. All throughout dinner I was laughing and joking with Patrick until I felt two people watching me. Looking up, my eyes met with Draco and he looked pissed. He nodded his head angrily towards Patrick and I just rolled my eyes. We weren't going out but why did he have to know that. Looking round the hall, I found the second person who had been staring at me. Professor Denton was watching me with an interested look on his face. I raised an eyebrow and he just smirked back. Rolling my eyes for the second time, I went back to my food and joking about with Patrick. I ignored Draco and Professor Denton as they continued to stare.
Lying in bed later that night, I stared up at the ceiling singing a song in my head. I couldn't get Draco, Patrick and Professor Denton out of my mind as I tried to think of what I should do. Sure Draco is the hottest guy to walk this earth but he's a complete player and jerk. Professor Denton was so hot but also my teacher. Big NO NO. He was getting on my nerves because all he did was stare at me. He was so out of the picture since I didn't find myself attracted to him like I was to Draco. Then Patrick, he was charming, cute and hot and nothing that was stopping me from dating him. Why didn't I just get Draco out of my mind and go after Patrick. Or Pat as he had asked me to call him. Sighing, I tossed to my side and finally fell asleep.
