On Saturday morning, every student seemed excited for the Quidditch match of the day. Jacob was probably the most excited one as Ravenclaw's Captain. Adena liked the atmosphere, she hoped her house would win today even though the match was against Slytherin.

They were all already in the bleachers. Most students showing off blue and bronze colors in support of Ravenclaw. For today, Adena had discarded the green and silver scarf, that she still hadn't given back to her boyfriend, to wear her house colors. She still looked rather calm, although she was hoping they would win.

The crowd erupted in cheers once the players started flying in the air. The brunette's eyes going for Regulus. She hadn't told him about her hopes and had instead kissed him before saying good luck like she would usually do. However, he didn't look as confident as usual when he appeared on the pitch. She wondered if it had something to do with their Captain, Zabini who was stricter as the match approached. She waved off the worrying feeling when the match finally began. And maybe something had gone wrong in the changing room since Ravenclaw had already scored a few points even though the Slytherin keeper was usually good. He already looked frustrated and it had only been five minutes of match.

For the next minutes,  Ravenclaw scored again and again. Adena watched in awe as Jacob scored half of the points, quickly making them reach seventy points. She was so happy to see this, cheering with her housemates, that the frustration of the Slytherin was easily ignored. They obviously scored some points since they were still good players, but they looked clearly weak in front of Jacob and his powerful team.

"I think we'll finally get our revenge on the Slytherins today!" exclaimed Isaac by her side.

Everyone looked as hopeful as Adena. That feeling quickly wavered off when Regulus flew down again, going to every side of the pitch in hope to catch a glimpse of the golden snitch. He looked just as frustrated as his teammates. It was not surprising since Ravenclaw had just scored one hundred and twenty points, while Slytherin was still at sixty points.

Zabini decided to ask for a time-out right after.

"Oh, looks like Zabini has finally decided to find a solution to stop the disaster! But will that be enough to fight today's favorite, a team more powerful than ever, the Ravenclaws?" screamed the commentator.

He was clearly biased as always, and his snarky comments about the Slytherins made the others laughed a lot. Adena just watched as both teams got down on the ground to talk things out, mostly Zabini shouting and taking his anger out on the team as the Ravenclaws just stared at them, shocked. Jacob was probably fuming, wondering how a Captain could act like a jerk like this with his team even if they were Slytherins.

After some minutes, both teams flew up again. This couldn't be felt by the supporters, but there was clearly a tense atmosphere on the pitch. The Slytherins were being more aggressive in their way of playing, really trying anything they could to close the distance between their points. Suddenly, both seekers came into view, flying side by side towards a golden glint just below the Slytherin bleachers. Adena could notice Zabini shouting something at Regulus in the distance while the boy was probably trying to not get distracted while he and the Ravenclaw seeker were so close to their goal.

"We're going to win!" said Arsène excitedly by Adena's side. She glanced at him with a smile which prevented her from noticing a bludger being thrown by a Slytherin beater towards the two seekers.

She turned around in time to see the Ravenclaw seeker going up while Regulus kept flying forward, trying to keep his focus as much as he could. He eventually realized the bludger coming his way, but it was too late. The Ravenclaw managed to go past him as Regulus got hit in the shoulder, making him lose his balance before falling towards the ground.

Adena gasped in shock as the scene took place in front of her widened and frightened eyes. Many gasps were heard around her as well, but nothing was more saddening to hear than her cry of fear as she made her way towards the exit. She ran down the stairs, ran towards the pitch entrance, then ran towards the small crowd of people that had formed around her injured boyfriend. The girl pushed whoever was in her way, with more force than she intended to, especially when she passed by Zabini. When she finally discovered her boyfriend, he was lying on the ground, closely surrounded by Madam Pomfrey, Professor Slughorn and Professor Dumbledore. His eyes were closed, his face pale, much paler than usual, even a little sweaty and his eyebrows were knit together. He was clearly in pain, and her stomach formed a knot at the sight. She kneeled by his left side, taking a hold of his limp but warm hand.

"Regulus..." she said shakily.

He slowly opened his eyelids and trying to smile at her, but it looked forced. "I'm fine..."

"You shouldn't speak Mr Black," curtly said the nurse as she patted his arm and shoulder to see how injured he was.

"Don't cry, I'm okay..." he whispered to her, not caring about the nurse's previous words.

She hadn't even realized she was crying. It was only at this moment that she noticed, the few tears at the corners of her eyes. She could also feel the wetness of her face, but Regulus' state was something too important for her to notice such futile things before. He let go of her hand and let it fly to her cheek where he wiped off the remains of previous tears before taking a hold of her hand again, holding it much more tightly than before.

"Stop worrying..." he said with a gentle smile, but his eyes looked serious, trying his best to make her understand.

"I can't," she only answered, her eyebrows furrowing in worry. Her hand was slightly shaking in his hold and he tightened his grip on her, regarding her with even more seriousness.

"Mr Black, I'll send you to the Hospital Wing now."

"I'm coming," instantly said Adena. The nurse just looked at her with a nod before getting up.

"Ah, young love..." whispered the voice of Slughorn somewhere behind her.

"Do you want me to accompany you too?" asked Jacob as he reached her side, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. She stood up at the same time as Madam Pomfrey made her boyfriend's body fly in the air.

"No, thank you Jacob. Go celebrate with the others instead." She gave him a weak smile and started leaving with the Slytherin male, her teary eyes glaring at Zabini as she passed by him again, looking as if she would murder him on the spot.

They obviously didn't waste time to arrive at the castle. Regulus was placed on a bed, Adena not leaving his side.

"This will sting," said Madam Pomfrey. The girl held tightly her boyfriend's hand that had gone limp again. She waved her wand, murmuring a healing formula, and Regulus only grimaced in pain as she did, not complaining once. When she looked at his arm, it seemed completely healed, no more bruise on the skin of his shoulder and she felt reassured.

"I'll get bandages and potions to finish the healing process. You'll have to stay the night Mr Black."

When she left, Adena threw her arms around her lover's neck, holding him tightly.

"I was so worried. You being in pain was the worse sight ever."

"I'm better now so don't worry," he whispered reassuringly in her ear, but his voice was weak.

"I know..."

After a while in the Hospital wing, Adena still hadn't let go of Regulus's hand. She was slowly observing as his cheeks gained back some colors, reassuring her even more.

"Hey there," said Jacob's voice suddenly, making them both turned towards him.

"Congratulations for the victory. You did well," said the raven-haired boy.

"Thanks mate, but your team wasn't as good as usual today..."

"But still, yours was better than usual."

The blonde boy laughed at this before saying more seriously, "How are you feeling?"

"Better now."

"That bludger hit you hard damn and the fall, kinda surprised you didn't faint."

"I was feeling dizzy the whole time until coming back actually,"  murmured Regulus.

"And you said you were fine..." muttered Adena.

"You know I don't want to worry you."

"It didn't work..."

Jacob laughed at them then said, "Adena, don't you think you should get some lunch?"

"I'm not hungry," she replied.

"Adena," said sternly Regulus, "go eat, I'm fine now. Come back later."

"But I said..."

"Brett, take her in hostage I don't care, we both know how much of a picky eater she is, so I won't let her miss a meal because of me," said the boy, turning to Jacob who laughed again.

Adena groaned before standing up and leaving his side, joining Jacob. "I'll go eat something then I'm coming back."

"I have to tell you Mr Black needs a lot of rest," said the strict voice of Madam Pomfrey who had just let her head out from her office.

That wouldn't stop the girl from coming back.
