Now, on with the story…
o.O.o.O.o
'James freaking Potter where you are?' Lily grumbled underneath her breath, even if she sort of liked him, she was in no mood in apologising when she was in the mood for blaming. Why did Alice have to be so strict on something as small as accusing someone for not waking her up? Lily felt sorry for Alice's future children.
"Oh my God! I'm am sooo excited and sooo nervous!"
"I know! I mean, what if I don't get in?"
"Yeah, like what if James doesn't think I'm hot?"
Lily's ears perked up at James's name and it suddenly dawned on her. Quidditch trials. She looked to see who the people who were talking were, some random fifth years, girls who were obviously crushing big time on none other than James Potter. Who would try out for quidditch just to get his attention? Lily shook her head, what was this world coming to?
Well, at least now she knew where he was.
To the quidditch pitch!
On the way she heard more chatter about the Gryffindor quidditch trials, more about James Potter.
When she finally arrived she was taken aback at the amount of people who had attended, everyone was talking excitedly.
"Okay everyone! Listen up!" James shouted over the noise
The talking almost immediately ceased.
Lily had to be impressed; he certainly knew how to control a crowd as big as this one.
"I want the chasers on the right near that tree" James said pointing, "The seekers over there, the beaters over there and the keepers here with me. You guys are going first"
Everyone started whispering excitedly and nervously.
Lily had never been a humongous fan of quidditch, partly because she wasn't exactly great at it and also because she usually had better things to do, but while she was watching James fly around the pitch trying out everyone, she couldn't help but feel a little impressed.
"Okay everyone, well done for today and the results will be up in a week!" This was from James.
Lily suddenly sat up, it was over already? She suddenly realised why she was here and her mood dimmed a little. What could she say to him? Hi, I'm here to apologise for accusing you of not waking me up because my friend Alice is making me. No, that wouldn't do, maybe she could quickly apologise at the beginning and then quickly change the topic so he would forget, no, that wouldn't work either. Lily suddenly realised that James had almost disappeared from her sight.
"James! James Potter!" Lily said rushing up to him, trying to get his attention in between breaths.
He turned around to see who was calling him. "Oh, hey there Evans"
"Hi" Lily breathed heavily trying to calm down her breathing
There was a bit of an awkward silence while Lily tried to catch her breath
"Wow, I didn't know I was so breathtaking" Joked James weakly
Lily chose to ignore the joke, "I'm here to apologise for accusing you of not waking me up when you actually did, because Al…because erm… yes."
James chuckled, "Oh that! You didn't have to apologise for that, but yes, apology accepted."
"Humph" Was Lily's response
"I'm quite sure we've got a good team this year" Said James quickly changing the subject sensing that Lily was not all too happy about the previous topic they were talking about
"Good to hear, we must beat those Slytherins"
"You can count on it" Grinned James, "Well, I'm going to put away the equipment and get changed; I'll see you at dinner"
"Okay, I'll see you then" Lily couldn't help grinning, just a bit.
o.O.o.O.o
"Well Lily you were away for a while, anything interesting happen?" Alice asked suggestively.
"Haha, no."
"Did you at least apologise?"
"What do you expect?" Grumbled Lily
"I'll take that as a yes, what took you so long?"
"I had to wait for the stupid quidditch trials to finish" Grumbled Lily
"Oo, good team?"
"Er…." Fumbling for an answer, she hadn't really been watching that closely, more on a certain person.
"Concentrating on something, or rather, someone else?" Alice asked reading Lily's mind with a cheeky smile
Lily cleared her throat.
Alice laughed.
o.O.o.O.o
"Greasy, leasy, sleazy, easy….EASY!!" Sirius suddenly shouted "Snivellus' hair is still greasy, even though washing it would be so easy!" Sirius beamed triumphantly around the table at everyone, some first years looked a bit disconcerted.
"Er, yes Padfoot." Said Remus
"We're back, we're back! Oh yes, we're back, ol' Sluggy still looks like a sack and Snivellus' hair is still greasy even though washing it would be so easy!" Sirius belted out, but before anyone could respond, the food had arrived.
"Please, for our sake, never become a poet Padfoot" James said
"Oh yeah, and I broke my mum's favourite plate again, cept there wasn't anyone to fix it for me this time" Lily said mournfully
"Crap. The one she only uses for special occasions?"
James looked up sharply, some words just stick out and he distinctly remembered the plate incident with Dandelion.
"Yeah, but anyway, did you do anything eventful?"
James tuned out of their conversation again, he was confused. Was he just being foolish, or was Lily talking about the plate incident he had had with Dandelion. He canceled out the thought, Lily had probably dropped her mum's plate numerous times before, he was just being stupid.
"So James, who do you think should be my fellow beater?" Sirius interrupted James's contemplating
"Wha? Oh, hmm Baker was pretty good, but so was Matthews"
"Well, if you ask me, Baker was definitely the better of the two" Sirius stated suggestively
"Yeah, sure you only want her on the team cause you like her"
Sirius chuckled "Too right you are, but she is actually really good"
"True that" James said thoughtfully and went back to eating
Did you know, that it was scientifically proven that reviewing is good for you?
