What's Quodpot?
a collection of quidditch-related drabbles
James proposed to Lily right after their final winning Quidditch match. The moment she saw him go onto one knee, Marlene stiffened. He was going to take Lily away and she had to stay and watch (since it would be way too conspicuous for a chaser to disappear before the team even left the pitch).
Marlene wanted to scream, but instead put on the biggest fake smile and gave everyone hugs. Because that's what best friends are supposed to do. They're not supposed to hate your happiness and they're not supposed to be this codependent and they're not supposed to dream about you every night.
She knew she'd need copious amounts of fire whiskey to make it through the night. And when she glanced at Sirius, Marlene knew she wasn't the only one.
