Chapter 4

I was awoken by the sound of pans clattering around downstairs. I was like a herd of elephants were stampeding through the house! My head was pounding. I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it, the sunlight streaming through the windows was too bright and made my head hurt even more. My throat was dry and painful and my stomach was churning.

I slowly got up and gathered my thoughts. How much had I drunk last night? I couldn't remember a thing. Looking around I realized I was in James room that he used when he stayed at the Burrow. I grabbed a big Gryffindor jumper he had hanging on the door and made my way to the bathroom.

I cringed at myself in the mirror, I was ghostly pale, i had huge black bags under my eyes which were bloodshot and my hair was what i could only describe as 'sex hair'. I jumped in the shower hoping the warm jets would bring back my memories from last night but no such luck. I towelled off and left my hair to dry naturally. I put back on my underwear with James' jumper over the top and headed downstairs towards the smell of bacon.

Half way down the stairs i stopped. I could hear shouting coming from the kitchen. "i cannot believe you embarrassed this family like that James Sirius Potter" i heard ginny shout "i want you to go to the finnegans and appoligise to Aiden for what you did before you go back to school!"

My curiosity got the better of me and i ran into the kitchen "ooohh Jamie what did you do this time!" I said with a smirk on my face before grabbing bacon off the side and stuffing it into my mouth. I turned back around to see James, Albus, Lilly, Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Ron all staring at me in silence with their mouths hanging open.

"You seriously do no remember a thing?" questioned Albus. "Ummm nope" I replied "is anyone going to explained what happened then?"

"Well to put it bluntly" Lilly started "you got absolutely off your face and proceeded to grind up against Aiden Finnegan in front of everyone until James tackled him to the ground and beat the shit out of him"

"Well fuck me" I replied after taking it in, "didn't see that coming!"

"Girls, language!" Ginny said to us sternly "actually Rory I think you should go with James and apologise too for causing this" and with that she turned and strolled from the room. "well" harry said, "I think it's time for us to be leaving, so some of us can get dressed properly" he said looking at me and James who was stood there in just the jeans he had on last night.

Once we were back at the potters I got changed into some blue jean shorts and a white and green checked top with my white converses as it was still surprisingly warm out. I brushed my hair through and put it up in a messy bun leaving my face bare of makeup for the day. I was preparing myself for mine and James' visit to the Finnegan's to apologise. Once we were both ready James, dressed in light brown cargo shorts and a red polo shirt, grabbed my hand and we disappeared.

We knew the Finnegan's very well, Seamus had been friends with Harry and Ron whilst in Hogwarts and we had grown up friends with his children. His eldest children twins Alana and Ethan had been in teddy's year. Aiden and his identical twin Tyrell were in our year. His daughter Riley was in the year below us with Albus and Rose. Ava in fourth year with Hugo and Lilly and his youngest Keegan was in the third year.

They lived in a large house in the country side in Ireland. They had a huge field like at the burrow that they played quidditch on. We knocked on the door and waited until a very bruised and swollen Aiden opened it. James immediately started talking "oh shit dude, I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I had been drinking and I saw you with Ror and I just didn't want anyone taking advantage of her" he finished putting his arm around me and pulling me closer.

"Nahh mate don't worry about it, we weren't all there last night and to be honest I would have done the same if it were Riley" Aiden said referring to his equally as good looking sister in the year below. I took the silence that followed as a cue for me to speak "and Aiden I'm sorry that I'm what caused this and James I'm sorry I got so pissed" I said grabbing them both and pulling them into a hug secretly smiling to myself at two good looking boys that were pushed against me.

"Right now that's over, fancy a game of quidditch the family and I were just going to play if you're interested?" he asked smiling brightly at us.

We followed him out the house to the field behind where Aiden's dad Seamus, his brothers and sisters were just setting up the game.

I love quidditch, James and I had both tried out for the team in second year and got in. James as the seeker and me as a beater after the captain Liam Wood had suggested I use it to get rid of my aggression. Now I was the most feared beater in the school, having a record for causing the most amount of injuries in my 4 years id been on the team.

We split into two teams of 5, each having one seeker, keeper and beater and 2 chasers. James and Aiden were the team captains; Aiden was a chaser and had Seamus as keeper, Ava as chaser, Keegan as beater and Alana as seeker on his team. James was the seeker and had me as beater, Ethan as keeper and Riley and Tyrell as chasers.

After 2 hours of playing the points had been drawn at 140 each but James had beaten Alana to the snitch and had won us the game. Luckily I hadn't injured anyone severely during the game, which would have got us out of Aiden's good books as quickly as we had got back in.

We said goodbye to the Finnegan's and apparated back to the Potter's. I had suddenly become very excited as I realized we would be leaving for school again tomorrow.
