Chapter 7

Hello Everyone, Well look at this, Chapter 7, god its going by fast, no I'm not ending the story anytime soon, just never thought I'd get this far. Any way enjoy!

Sage woke up from his restless sleep, he looked at his clock, 5:45 "It's way too early." he lays back down to go to sleep but a light tapping sound comes from his window. He sits up right and looks at the window. There, just outside his window, was a floating thing, in what looked like a long black robe, the sun was just rising so sage couldn't see under its hood. "What the bloody hell?" He slowly gets up and walks carefully to the window. It taps his window again, sage comes closer to his window, the thing fogs up his window and writes Let us in, it's cold out here. Sage looks down and sees two other figures in dark long cloaks. Sage shakes his head "Why should I?" The figure seems to sigh like Sage was being stupid or something. It fogs up his window again and writes Because Lily missed you. Finally understanding he heads downstairs, he notices a note on the table and grabs it.

Hey buddy

Got called into work early, won't be back till around 1

Love you, mom

Sage nodes and unlocks the door so they could get inside. "Hey guys, what are you doing here so early?" James pats his shoulder "Before we answer questions, make yourself decent man." He laughs and goes to sit down, Sage looked down and noticed he had left his shirt off from last night's episode so he quickly runs upstairs and gets dressed. When he comes back down stairs he's wearing a red t-shirt and black shorts. "So again what are you guys doing here so early?" James and Albus look at each other "Well you see it's like this…" Lily sighs "Just be straight forward, okay so basically Sage we snuck out of the house to come see if you wanted to come play quidditch over in the field."

Sage was confused, why could she say it but not the guys? "Oh is that all? Well I'll need to borrow a broom then." They nod "They're outside, come on." James smiles and they run outside, Sage quickly grabbed the house key and locked the house. He then looked back at the Potters and saw the brooms, they looked different but it must be the light so he grabs one and takes off. The Speed was way different, so was the feel of the broom. What was he riding? He stops just above his house and looks, it was a Firebolt, the original. He looks over at them as they fly up and they were laughing "Your face, oh my god your face!" James was laugh hysterically while Lily and Albus snickered. "When did you guys get firebolts?!"

James couldn't answer because he was laughing so hard "While we were visiting our family, we won a bet against dad and he got us all new brooms." Said Albus matter a factly. "What was the bet?" Lily smiles "If James could prank Uncle George and get away with it." James had calmed down to a chuckle "Best part was it was with one of his own creations." Sage smiled, he had learned that their Uncle George was the owner of Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, the joke shop in Diagon Alley. He nodded and laughed, then they headed to the field and touched down. James lands next to him "Also we got this" Shows him a bag of golf balls painted gold. "You said you wanted to be seeker right? Well at school this is how they practice, sorry you can't play but at least you'll have plenty of practice compared to some others." Sage nods, he was glad they were doing this for him.

James opens up the bag and splits the golf balls up into three piles "Okay so this is how it's going to work, the three of us will run off into that field somewhere, the grass is tall enough for us to hide there, well each one at a time through the golf balls into the air and you, Cap, have to catch them when you see them okay?" Sage nodded understanding perfectly. "Alright then, Sage face the other way so we can go hide, I'll tell you when we're ready okay?" Sage nods and turns around, he hears them run off and hide then hears James say "Ready!" he turns around and mounts the broom. He scans the field and sees something slightly glint in the air. He grins and shoots for it, he loved this feeling, wind passing through his hair as he speeds along, and he reaches out and grabs the gold golf ball.

He stops and holds it up "Got it!" Then he sees another small glint out of the corner of his eye and he zooms toward that. This goes on for an hour and a half before they finish, Sage had caught almost all of them, he missed five because he miss judged the distance and it had either wacked him in the head or he lost sight of it. He was pretty proud of himself "Nice job mate." Albus gives him a thumbs up "Dude that was awesome." He shrugs "It was wasn't it?" they laugh. "Don't get full of yourself." James says, Sage nods, and he wasn't planning on that happening. He checked the time, it was 12:30 "Hey guys my mom's going to be back soon from work, wanna head over to my place?" They shrug "Sure why not?" They got on their brooms and fly back to Sage's house.

Sage unlocks the door and heads inside, the others follow him. He heads to the kitchen and pours drinks for everyone. They all sit down and relax "Hey if you guys turn on the TV I think a semifinals game is on today." They smile and turn on the game, Germany versus Russia. "Oh awesome, this will be a brutal game." They look at him surprised "What it's always interesting when rivals play, plenty of fights and tension." James sighs and rolls his eyes "You're crazy man." Sage hands out the drinks "And that's a bad thing how?" Albus chuckles "He has a point James." They sit there and watch the game until his mom comes home from work "Oh hey guys, how's it going?" They all nod and Sage goes up and hugs his mom "How was work?" She smiles "Busy as always sport, how was your day?" He smiles "They gave me seeker practice." She smiles and ruffles his hair "And how did my little seeker do?" James answers her question "Only missed five out of 100."

She smiles "Well done, alright you kids behave I'm going to get a shower." They all nod and continue to watch the game. The lasted a while, but eventually it end in a win for Russia, there were 5 fights, 4 penalties, and the score was 560 – 640. James who was on the edge of his seat the entire time laid back "That was intense." Albus nods and Lily just sits there "That's what a game is like when they're rivals, you guys have never seen a rival game?" They shake their heads. He shrugs "Well there you have it." He looks at the time "Now what?" they shrug and decide to just chill. The next couple of days are like this, just going out and practice, play a game or two then head over to one of their houses and just hang out. But then the night came, the night before they went to Hogwarts. Sage could barely hold in his excitement. He was going to Hogwarts tomorrow. He feel asleep and dreamed of the exciting months to come.

God that took too much brain power, I hate writing filler chapters or fluff whatever you want to call them. Sorry if they seem, I don't know, disconnected I guess? I really suck at writing these but anyway hoped you enjoyed! Once again thanks Ghost!
