I am really sorry for not having updated in ages! But this is because I have been gone for so long. Three weeks ago, I was in Barcelona with school, and I didn't really bring my computer, let alone the internet. Then, when I came back, my family and I moved to a new house, and it's been real stressful. The new house didn't get internet before last Friday, and the Easter hasn't been peaceful enough for me to settle down and add a new chapter. Anyways! Here it is, and I'm gonna write like Crazy only can today! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter universe or any of its characters, and I never will :'(
Claimer: I do own Julie, Vilde, Erynne, Izzy, Diana and Anne.

Chapter 10: Quidditch try-outs
It turned out that a whole bunch of people wanted to try out for Quidditch. This Vilde and Julie discovered when they walked down to the pitch followed by James, Sirius, Erynne and Izzy. It was a very bright day, and warm. People were sitting on the stands and looking forward to try-outs. There were a bunch of people from Gryffindor who wanted to be on the team. At least forty of them.
"Wow, that's a whole bunch," James said, sounding slightly nervous.
"Relax, James. You'll be perfectly fine," Erynne said happily.
"Okay, if you say so," James retorted, seemingly not having listened in.
"Eh, can you tell that most of them are girls?" Sirius asked.
"Wow, that's true," James said.
"I didn't see that one coming," Sirius said.
"Why not?" Julie asked, her voice slightly dangerous.
"Oh, no reason," Sirius said innocently.
"Good for you," Julie said, still and edge to her tone.
The girls all yelled happily when they saw them walk onto the pitch.
"Oh, they love me," Sirius said grinning widely.
"Julie! Vilde! You're so awesome!" a girl screamed.
"Yeah! You totally inspired us to try out for Quidditch!" another yelled.
"They love you?" Vilde asked Sirius with a wicked grin.
"Shut it," Sirius said annoyed.
Julie was beaming at them. "Good for you!" she yelled happily back.
"EVERYBODY QUIET!" James bellowed over the chatting and yelling that came after that.
Everyone looked at him and he smiled.
"Goodie," he said and then said to them all to fly in a circle.
Vilde, Julie, Erynne and Izzy took off easily, but there were many, mostly the girls, who lost their balance at once, and one even took a Neville (as Julie and Vilde called it). But the four girls, along with Sirius, were doing just fine. James sent those that couldn't fly the least off the pitch, most of them looking really sourly at him.
"What?" one could hear him say, "You can't fly!"
Vilde and Julie snickered at this, because he was only too right.
Most the girls had never even tried a broom since the first year.
"There's a difference between inspiration and skill," Vilde pointed out, and Julie nodded.
"Definitely," she agreed.
"Everyone, land!" James commanded.
The four girls easily and gracefully landed. When they looked around, the only ones left besides them were boys. In other words, only three boys would go on the team. This team was gonna be ruled by girls. Definitely.
James looked around. "Now that we're down to the professionals and the girls," he said.
"Hey!" Erynne exploded.
"Relax! I'm kidding!" James said, grinning.
"Anyways, the ones who wants to try out for Chasers go there," James said, and a handful of people walked to their designated spot, including Julie, Izzy and Sirius.
"The Beaters go there," James said, and four walked to the left.
"And the Keepers go there," James said, and the last three people walked over to the right.
"Now, mount your brooms, and take one Keeper at a time," James said.
Though he wasn't too specific, it was remarkably easy to do what they did. Julie shot around seven goals, Erynne and Izzy shot around five or so.
Vilde was currently grinning wickedly where she was holding her bat. She was looking at Sirius. He saw it and froze in mid-air. Literally.
"H-hey! I'm your best friends boyfriend!" he yelled, seemingly not wanting to be hit by Vilde's bat.
Vilde's grin got even wider and wickeder. "All the more reason," she said evilly and her bat then hit a bludger so hard that it was sent on Sirius within two seconds.
He barely managed to dodge it, but he had no balance on his broom any more. He managed to get back on it, though, before he lost his grip and fell thirty feet down.
"Nice one Vilde!" James yelled up to her.
"Thanks Jamie!" Vilde yelled back down.
"Hey!" Sirius exploded at his best friend.
"No offence, Sirius, but that was one hell of a hit!" James bellowed back up.
"Oh fine!" Sirius yelled and caught the Quaffle sent by Izzy.
Erynne was doing beautifully as a Keeper. She caught every singly try to score, and James was so surprised with her that he couldn't do anything but stare.
"She's amazing!" he had later exclaimed.
"Everyone! Come here!" James yelled, and everyone landed around him in a half circle.
"The team will consist of these people. As Chasers: Sirius, Julie and Izzy. Beaters: Vilde and Benjamin. As Keeper: Erynne. And that's final," James said calmly, and the four girls jumped in joy.
"Yes!" they all exclaimed.
Sirius looked cocky, as if he'd been entering no matter what. The boy by the name of Benjamin was smiling, obviously relieved. The others that didn't make the team left with a hanging head.
"Hey," Vilde said reaching out her hand, "I'm Vilde."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Benjamin," he said, smiling.
"That's the girls for yah!" Julie said, grinning happily.
"I'm glad we all got in," Izzy said happily.
"Yaah!" Erynne laughed.
"Oh, James? Did you notice the team is now consisting of more girls than boys?" Vilde asked, and James looked around.
"By Merlin's beard!" he yelled.
The four girls laughed at this. Then they all walked up to the castle.
