"Good. No-one here."
Makira Blackthorne stepped onto the top of the hill and looked over the vast Quidditch Pitch. She smiled with excitement and gripped her new Firebolt tightly. The crimson cloak of her homemade, Quidditch robe-like garb fluttered behind her in the wind. Her brown forearm and shin guards shined dully in the early morning light. The shin guards covered her white pants below the knee down in the front, and her forearm guards covered a crimson and black striped, long-sleeved shirt. She fiddled with her fingerless, black, skintight gloves as she made her way to the Pitch. Her shoulder length, messy-in-a-cool-way, thick, dark chocolate hair blew back in the breeze, revealing her sienna, amber-speckled eyes shining with happiness. She was back again, doing something she loved.
When Makira reached the center, her massive dog, Bolt, trotted up behind her with a big yawn. He sat down when she stopped and yawned wide again.
"Tired are we?" she said obviously to her friend. He barked tiredly and trotted off to the sidelines, probably to take a catnap. Then, a pure, snow-white owl flew through the early morning air and landed gracefully on Makira's right shoulder. "Good Morning, sleepy-head." she said with a laugh. It was obvious that her owl, Powder, had just woken up. "Go take a rest with the other couch potato over there." she said, pointing to Bolt. Powder clacked her beak tiredly in agreement, and flew over. She landed on on Bolt's head and immediately fell asleep. Makira smiled at them, and mounted her broom.
The Firebolt took off into the air and she veered it all around the Pitch, whooping as she went. Bolt watched with a sleepy eye and yawned yet again. She flew around the Pitch 9 times in 10 seconds. The crimson blur then spiraled up into the sky above. Makira flew high above the clouds, and pointed her broom straight down. She hung there for a few seconds and counted down.
"Three."
"Two."
"...."
"One."
Makira zoomed straight down, her hair whipping back and her cloak trailing behind her. She was a mere crimson blur, falling from the heavens, hurtling straight towards Earth. Makira's face wore a frown of concentration as she focused all her energy into doing this move. She made like she was trailing behind an imaginary Snitch.
Mere meters from the ground, she jerked her broom up firmly and forcefully, and raced off to the right, still staring at the imaginary Snitch. She reached out her arm: it was right within her grasp. She begged for an inch or so. The Firebolt seemed to listen and zoomed forward. She slowly stood atop her broom, wanting to try the move her mother told her about. Makira's outstretched arm followed the invisible Snitch and she swiped at it. Her hand held the imaginary Snitch and she 'surfed' back towards the Pitch floor, whooping all the way at her self-triumph of catching her imaginary Snitch. She held it up and beamed at herself, hoping someone from the team or her house saw so that they might tell the Captain. Makira smiled still and let go of the imaginary Snitch and wiped the sweat from her brow.

The sky was a pristine blue in the early, moderately cloudy afternoon. Lying in the somewhat unattended grass was the Head Boy of MH, tucking his hands behind his head and letting a reed hang from his lips. HE was beside his thoughts as they pried at his emotions, which he safely locked away. It seemed like he locked himself away from pretty much everyone he knew, nowadays. It wasn't like he avoided people, but coming to reflect upon it, his presence in the lives of students was quite fleeting.
And speaking of fleeting presences, a student clad in red and white streaked by in the sky on her Firebolt. They way she moved, it seemed she was conditioning herself to move like a Seeker. And at the speed and control she was demonstrating, she might end up becoming quite a reckonable force soon enough in a real game.
After finishnig with a slight flourish, she turned herself around toward him inadvertantly and wiped a few particles of sweat from her smooth, rounded face into the air. He thought he...reckognized her from somewhere.....

Makira whooped a few more times and smiled, so happy. She loved flying. She flew back up and did some loop-de-loops and flew around the Pitch some more. She looked out in the direction she was facing and saw a boy, looking her way. She sat back on her broom and flew in his direction.
Makira timidly flew a bit closer closer. "Hi. Am I bothering you?" she asked sincerely. "Hope not." she said to herself. She waited to see if he would beckon her over or ignore her. Bolt then awoke with a start at all the whooping and such. He trotted lazily to where Makira floated and looked over where she was looking and saw the boy from their first night here. He had a better memory than his owner. Makira thought him familiar, too, but couldn't place a finger on him.

"Bothering me? Not at all. This is a place to practice flying, no?" he responded as he laxily lifted himself up to rest on the ball of his palms. Kez glanced up with his piercing sapphires into the girl's amber-hued eyes, trying to find out if he had in fact met this girl before, which he was almost sure he did. Though he had met several different new bloods while deep in thought, so it was hard to keep a firm grasp on each of their initial meetings.
Aside from the girl's striking looks though, he also recognized the lethargic dog that trotted up, suddenly freezing in its tracks when the dog saw him in plain sight. Kez was not exactly human, so the dog must have been at odds as to whether or not to bear his fangs.

Makira smiled and sighed her relief. She wiped her brow again and asked shyly, "Well.... D'you mind if I join you?" A pink tinted her cheeks. She blushed around any boy. Bolt looked at him intently, sizing him up, maybe? Powder flew tiredly and clacked her beak as she landed on his head. Makira was fixing her hair: it was winswept in the worst way from that pummel down. She got it fixed the way wanted it and started singin' a bit.
"Te wo nobas***ara todokisou na Itsuka ochiru taiyou kogetsuita My Wasted Dream Ha!
Doko he mukau no ka shiri mo shinai Bakuon ni nosete yoru wo akasu
Mune no kazaana wa mou hodokoshiyou mo nai Ai sae koborete ochiru
Killing Me kowaresou na kurai amaku kuchizukete Kitto yume wa samenai kono sekai wo tomete Itsumademo (Ah Broken Time) toketeitai (Ah Broken Time) Hitomi wa (Ah Broken Time) akenai de Ah Broken Time
Ahhhh!
Kakageta seigi wo hatamekase Chi no hate made mo nuritsubuse.
Mujyaki ni warau no sa shiranai furi de Yubisaki ni korogaru mirai.
Killing Me kowaresou na kurai amaku kuchizukete Kitto yume ha samenai kono sekai wo tomete."
Makira got into the song, and hopped off her broom and played air-guitar to the guitar solo from the song playing in her head, hitting all the notes, and looking like the guitarist did in the video. She stopped, and started dancing as she continued, totally in her own world.
"Itsumademo (Ah Broken Time) kuzurenai (Ah Broken Time) ai wo ima (Ah Broken Time) mitsuketa kara (Ah Broken Time)
Killing Me kowaresou na kurai amaku kuchizukete Kitto yume ha samenai kono sekai wo tomete Kes***e kimi ga soba ni inaku naru mae ni Kiss Me kowaresou na kurai amaku kuchizukete Itsumademo (Ah Broken Time) toketeitai (Ah Broken Time) Hitomi wa (Ah Broken Time) akenai de (Ah Broken Time)"
She danced a bit more and played the end guitar and then landed on her back with a soft thud. She breathed hard and sat up, still not noticing Kez still there. "I love that song.." she said with a smile.
((OOC: the *'s block out the letters 'hit'. It's not a bad word: Just Nihon-go (Japanese)! ^_^ But you know that, right, Kezzy-kun? ^^))

(OOC) Yeah, I tried writing a song and that happened as well. XP Just wrtie it like shi-ta.
(BIC) Kez quirked a curious brow as the girl broke out in song. He couldn't recognize Japanese fluently enough to keep up with a song, so he really did not distinguish much of it. She hadn't really let him answer her question, though of course he would have merely shrugged and let her do whatever she liked.
"Nice....you serenade all the strangers you meet? Your throat must be sore." he scoffed with a light joke.

Makira chuckled and blushed. "So I take it I can? Sorry for trailing off singin' there." She walked over and sat down near him. Bolt trotted up and laid down wearily beside Makira. Powder flew around, then landed on Bolt's head again and felll asleep. Makira petted Bolt and smiled at him. She looked up at the boy and said, "This is Bolt and Powder, by the way." She pointed to each one in turn. "They're sleepy: not used to waking up this early, heheheh."

Kez leaned forward and touched the scruffy dog's snout, apparently too tired to protest. A small grin eased itself on his face.
"I guess you're right. But you still haven't given me yours. I'm Kezaa, head boy." Kezaa's smile widened a little as he sat up, letting his fingers trail along the dog's fur as he lifted it to offer to the girl.

Makira shook his outstretched hand and said, "I'm Makira Blackthorne. Nice to meet you. Mr. Kezaa." Bolt panted happily at Kezaa's petting. He seemed to smile and he wagged his tail. Powder woke up, and decided to head back to the Owlery. She pecked Makira's hand, then Kezaa's as a sign of good-bye, and flew off. "Bye!" Makira called after her.

"Heh, well for some odd reason, I have this nagging feeling we've at least seen each other before." he said after nodding to the pets as one of them took her leave of the group.
"But hey, I do meet a lot of new bloods. How long have you had your pets?" he asked as he leaned back, still staring into her eyes.

Makira nodded and said, "Oh, Bolt ever since I can remember, really, though he's not that old; and Powder for about...... let's see....... Six years? Maybe seven?" she nodded confirmingly.
"Well, yeah. I have that same feeling." She looked back into his oceanic blue eyes and blushed some more. She then felt her face grow hot and jerked her head down in embarrassment; her thick, chocolate bangs hiding most of her face. "Sorry." she muttered through her hair.

"Hmm, cute pets. I think I do recognize the dog. I'm pretty sure he reckognized my scent too."
Kezaa then perked his head to the side, wondering why Makira had turned away. Was she supressing a sneeze? Remembering a really old cartoon fashion of ridding a sneeze, he let his index finger rest horizontally underneath her nose. His hand pushed away at her bangs though, revealing a dark pink face. What was she blushing for?
"Are....you okay?" Kez asked, retracting his hand slightly.

Makira kept her eyes glued to the ground. "Uhm.... I .... blush a lot..... around guys..... I always seem to embarrass myself around them. 'Specially .....han'some ones." she muttered, turning a darker shade of pink. Bolt nuzzled her and licked her hand. She patted him on the head absentmindedly and kept staring at the grass. "Sorry..." she muttered again. *'Don't screw up, don't screw up, don't screw up, don't screw up! Don't embarrass yourself, or trip, or anything!!'* she kept telling herself. *'Don't, don't DON"T!'*

Kez shook his head with an amused grin as the girl stared intently upon the slightly green and brown grass, her blushing only intensifying. It seemed like there was little point in trying to make small talk to her, at least directly.
Brushing his legs and waist off, the head boy rose to his feet and stared out over the steep hill that lead up to the pitch, admiring the deepening view of the land. He hoped that it would always stay this beautiful, just as it always had.
"I wish she were here." Kez said, almost out of the blue. The girl had reminded him muchly so of his wife, the way she just seemed so childish at heart. He missed Jessica so much, though.

Makira lifted her head up and her eyes followed him. She sighed sadly. "Owell. I'm not much of a guy person: I knew I'd screw up!" she muttered darkly to herself, walking back to her Firebolt and mounting it. She very slowly rose up and glided forward just as slowly.
Makira sighed sadly and just glided around. She looked up at the hill where Kezaa stood. "Hmmmm... so familiar.." she thougtht aloud. "Hrmmm...." Recognizing someone or something and not knowing who or what it really was bothered her. Her eyes grew wide as she remembered the strange boy in the window at her arrival.
She zoomed overm, a small smile on her face. She stopped a couple feet away from him on his right. "Hey, Mr. Kezaa? I figured it out! I remember you from my arrival here! You remember?" she asked excitedly.
