The next few months passed by smoothly for Lily. Her friendships with Severus and Mary were strong than ever, while she was spending increasing amount of times avoiding James Potter. He was getting more arrogant every day, and Lily could not stand it. He had the tendency to pop up unannounced and try to start a conversation. Luckily though, Lily had made friends with most of the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw first years, so there was almost always someone around for her to excuse herself to talk too.
After Halloween, the school began to buzz. The first Quidditch game of the year, Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw, was just around the corner. Having heard so much about a game she'd never seen, Lily was especially excited.
Severus did not share this excitement. He was a fine flier, this became obvious after the first couple of flying lessons, but he didn't seem to enjoy it. James Potter, on the other hand, was an amazing flier, and was a show off about it.
"I hate it," Severus said to Lily during their last flying lesson. They were both hovering mid-air, away from the other students who had semi-organized a game of Quidditch, just with no hoops or balls. "James Potter acts like he's better than anyone else."
"At flying?" Lily asked.
"Yes at flying. And at everything else too. He thinks just because he's a pure blood and his parents are rich that he has the right to be an obnoxious... screwt!"
Lily snorted. "An obnoxious screwt? Sev, that's lame." She was silenced by a look from him, and was silent for a minute. "I know what you mean though. He jinxed Donald Poppers in the hall the other day, just out of the blue. His reason? He needed someone to practice the jelly legs jinx on. That poor Hufflepuff, they get teased enough as it is. And him and Sirius joke around and lose so many house points, but nobody cares. Everyone just lets it go. It's such a pain." Lily continued with her rant, but Severus had stopped listening. He was watching her red hair as it flung around her shoulders. Her green eyes were bright with annoyance. And since she usually talked with her hands, but she wouldn't take them off the broom while in the air, he watched as they twitched.
"Come back to the ground! It's almost lunch!" The flying instructor called from the ground. Lily stopped mid sentence, gave Severus and irritated smile, and she dived towards the ground. Severus followed close behind.
They parted ways at in the great hall soon after. Lily left to the Gryffindor table with Mary, while Severus went to sit with Avery and Mulciber, his two best friends in his house. Avery described the details of the fake Quidditch game, while Severus and Mulciber(who was afraid of heights), listened intently. Severus had wanted to join in the game, but Lily hadn't, and his limited time with Lily was more important than a silly game any day.
A few days later, Severus walked with Lily and Mary down to the Quidditch pitch. They were all very excited. Mary was a half-blood, and had grown up knowing about the game, but had never seen one played.
The two Gryffindors parted ways with Severus when they reached the pitch. They had to cheer on their own houses, and since the rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor was so bad, Severus would be cheering for Ravenclaw. Severus found Avery and Mulciber, and they found seats in one of the Slytherin stands.
"I bet Gryffindor wins. My dad told me they always win," Avery told them.
"No. Gryffindor can't always win. Because Slytherin beats them lots," Severus contradicted.
"I meant they always win to the other houses. My dad also told me that Hufflepuff hasn't won the Quidditch cup in over 50 years."
"Oh, that's depressing," Mulciber said. There was a moment of silence, then the three of them burst out laughing. "But seriously," he continued once they had settled down, "I don't think we have to worry about losing the Quidditch cup this year."
Severus took that moment to look around the stands. It looked like the whole school had turned up. The first years were obviously the most excited, while the older students in Slytherin and Hufflepuff looked like they were only there because everyone else was. Severus also noticed Lily. She was talking animatedly with Mary and a couple other Gryffindors. The red in the scarf tied around her neck clashed with her red hair, but in a good way.
The match started soon after, and every single person in the stands was intently watching the game. Except for Severus. Every couple of minutes he'd steal glance at Lily, who was more into the match then Severus would've thought possible.
After about an hour the game was over. The final score was 270-110, in favour of Gryffindor, who had caught the snitch.
Lily went back to the common room with Mary. She couldn't help noticing that James and Sirius seemed to walking close behind them, even when they purposely went the long way. When they arrived back at the common room, it was loud. There were more people in it than Lily had ever seen at one time. There was a table holding food that someone had obviously stolen from the kitchens when they had won, and the team was in the middle, being congratulated.
Lily stayed in the common room for a while, chatting with people about her opinion on the game, which she had loved. The noise finally got to her though, and she left to the library to get some homework done before it closed.
James watched her leave. He debated following her, but decided against as the portrait hole door swung shut behind her.
"That was quite a good game," Peter said. James and Sirius agreed. Remus wasn't there, as he had taken ill the previous afternoon and they had not seen him since.
"I can't wait until I'm on the team next year," James said.
"How do you know you're going to make the team?" Sirius asked him, slightly suspicious.
"Because this years seeker is leaving, and I'm great. You've seen me fly. And I've said before, it's in my blood. It'll be an insult to my ancestors if I'm not chosen."
Sirius just rolled his eyes. Peter, on the other hand, was awed.
"Lucky you," he said, "I'm rubbish at flying, I'd never make the team."
"You could commentate, that's important too. And that way you can make sure everyone's always looking at me when I make my miraculous catches." James smiled brightly at Peter. Peter laughed nervously in response.
"Okay. I'll commentate then. In a couple of years. In the meantime, I have something else to keep me busy."
"What could you be doing that will take a couple years?" Sirius asked curiously.
"I have a secret. Can I trust you?" He waited until James and Sirius had both nodded in agreeance before he continued. "I am in love with Lily Evans." Sirius and James exchanged a look, before they both started laughing. Peter sat there patiently until they had finished. "I do not see what is so funny about that."
"Well," Sirius started, "Your so you. Your just Peter. Theres nothing wrong with that," he said hurriedly at the infuriated look that had appeared on Peters face, "It's just that I can see someone like Lily better suited with someone like James."
"You think?" James asked? His face lit up slightly. Peter didn't notice, and Sirius was tactful enough not to say anything.
"Sure. Why not? And anyway Peter," Sirius redirected his face towards Peter, "what use is it being in love at our age? I can think of better ways to spend my time. Like find every secret passage in this school."
Peter looked shocked. "Hogwarts has secret passageways?" Sirius and James laughed at his ignorance, but other than that they made no acknowledgment that he had spoken. They instead launched into explanation of the secret passages they had been told about, and where they led to. Peter pondered on what they had said. Maybe being in love with Lily Evans was pointless. He wasn't anything special. He wasn't nearly as smart as his three best friends, and he was only 11 years old. He had time for all that in the future. And with that, Peter gave up his love and turned to join his friends conversation.
