"Sirius Black, what is the matter with you! How did you think this was a good idea?"
Sirius grinned stupidly, slowly wiping dark globs of mud out of his eyes. Crashing onto the Quidditch pitch was never a clean affair.
"Did Remus see me?" he asked when the Muggleborn's shoes appeared next to his head. It hurt too much to look up into her face. He tried, though, since seeing Lily in a snit was one of the highlights of his day.
Sirius couldn't fault James for his exuberant crush (obsession) with the witch, and may have given him a run for his money for her attention, if he weren't as equally smitten with Remus.
"What? Of course he saw you, the entire castle saw that stunt. This reeks of Potter. Even you aren't stupid enough to hang one handed off your broom towards the stands, during a thunderstorm, on purpose!"
Even as she scolded him, Sirius felt the wash of her magic gently scouring his face and ears to remove every trace of mud. The Impervius cast on his face before the game dissipated ages ago, the force of the winds and rain blasting it away, before the first points were scored.
"Did he catch it?"
Lily smacked his arm at his question. "Quidditch! I'm not answering that, and if you ask one more question about this ruddy game, so help me I will string you up in the common room until you gain some sense."
Sirius recoiled from the blow but recognized she held back due to his undetermined medical state, lying face up in the mud, waiting for Madam Pomfrey or Minnie to escort him to the Hospital Wing. He was on the receiving end of Lily's punches often enough. For a moment Sirius was content to listen to Lily's endless ranting over his recklessness. But it was so worth it, just from the look on his partner's face as he threw a velvet box in his direction mid-game.
He would just need to wait for Remus to visit him in the Hospital Wing to know his answer.
