He asked, excitedly as he felt his own breath was becoming hard to catch. Claustrophobia?...xD...probably. Too many people in that small tent.
"You'd be surprised, I'm getting an autograph from Emma Greene..." He winked. "Last year...I can't even remember who I got it from, though it was a gift for Diana." He chuckled at just the reminder of Diana screaming the Quidditch player's name.
"Ooh." Kiri's eyes lit up. Recounting the experience of playing in a Quidditch match made her forget about Emiliano's looming departure. "It was amazing! I mean, everyone was shouting and cheering, and flying past them with the Quaffle around and..." She gesticulated wildly as she tried to put her feelings into words. "I don't think I've ever felt so excited before. The whole atmosphere was just, you know, full of enthusiasm. And," she nearly bounced on the spot, "I scored two goals! I hadn't been on a broom since... Er, since the second year or so. When I went to the flying lessons."
She grinned. "I think it was only that much fun because none of the Bludgers hit me, though. I doubt I'd have enjoyed myself that much with a broken arm. And we nearly won. Raiden did a very good job," she added, almost to herself, nodding.
Trying to remember whether Emiliano had ever played Quidditch himself, Kiri stood on tiptoe and scanned the tent for Emma Greene. "Diana..." she mused. "She's your sister, right? She's a Quidditch fan?"
