Chapter 10: A Horrific Quiddich match
A Week later...
-Lily's POV-
Ever since that night when I met up with Severus.. I haven't been sitting with him, talking to him or even looked at him, I practically ignored him. He's been very different.. ever since I was with James... Hmm.. Anyway.. Today is the first Quiddich match of the season between Gryffindor and Slytherin. And I hope that Gryffindor beats the crap out of Slytherin! Only because Severus is chaser on the Slytherin team (I don't even know how the heck he joined the team) and, for the first time of my life, I want to see Gryffindor win the Quiddich house cup! Though Gryffindors never lost at all ever since James and Sirius were on the team.
I woke up early as usual and got dressed. After I got ready for breakfast, I waited on the sofa in the common room for James (like I do every day since we've been together). I waited 10 minutes in the common room until I heard running coming down stairs.
"Hey Lily" James said jumping down a couple of steps. (He can be such a kid sometimes but that's what makes him special ^-^) I turned my head, got up and gave him a loving smile.
"Morning James" I walked toward him and gave him a peck on his cheek.
"How are you Lils?" he asked giving me a warm hug (James's been worried about me coz of Severus..).
"I'm fine.. now enough with this 'how are you' junk.. I'm starving. Come on" I grasped his hand and we headed for the Great Hall.
When we entered the Great Hall, that same glare was watching us. But I shook it off and sat next to James and Lucy (Peter was sitting with Lizzy across us, Lizzy was sitting next to Alice, Alice was sitting with her boyfriend Frank Longbottom (A/N hint hint..), Remus was sitting in the same row as us next to Lucy, Lucy was sitting next to me, I was sitting next to James, James was sitting next to Sirius and Sirius was sitting next to Susan (A/N sorry I needed to include this coz I'm trying to put an image in the viewers head sorry it's really long and confusing :/)).
"Come on James, you have to eat more than that! Your going to have to use up all your energy, if you want to win that Quiddich Match today" I exclaimed, getting his fork and force feeding him more eggs.
"Lily, it's ok I'm not hungry" I glared at him and he immediately got the fork I was holding and ate the entire egg.
"noumm.. nomm.. there look I'm eating.. happy?" he said as he chewed his egg.
"Very" I said as I kissed him on the cheek. He smiled in return.
"Alright we better go Prongs, Suz (aka Susan), gotta game to win!" Sirius said while getting up and grabbing James's arm as Susan followed (A/N remember Susan, Sirius and James are chasers).
"wait... Hold on a minute Sirius" James said as he kissed me on the cheek.
"I'll see you just before the game alright? I need to talk to you" He whispered so that I could only hear, and I nodded suspiciously.
"ok.. You better go.. Love you.. see you in a bit, then" I called and waved as he waved back and got hit in the head by Sirius. I giggled.
"oh my god guys, you're in the same bloody house and you see each other every bloody day for Merlin's sake!" Peter whined while throwing his arms everywhere. I gave him a glare and he back down.
After about 5 minutes later, Remus had finished his breakfast and looked at Lucy.
"Hey guys, I gotta go get ready for commentating, anyone wanna come?" Remus said getting up from his seat. Immediately, Lucy shot straight up and blushed.
"um.. yea.. i'll..i'll come if you want Remus.." Lucy said shyly.
"yea sure that's fine, Lucy" he said looking at Lucy with a kind smile. I watched as they both exited the Great Hall. It was so obvious they liked each other, their just too shy to admit it.
I turned my head and was about to ask the rest of the group if they wanted to leave early for good seats, but, Alice was snogging her boyfriend to death, Peter was sleeping on his plate with bits of egg on his face and Lizzy was finishing yesterday's Transfiguration homework. Typical, just typical. I got up quickly and ran to keep up with Remus and Lucy.
"wait for me you guys!" I called and I heard a quiet groan from Lucy. I could tell she didn't want me to be with her and Remus, hehe. I pulled her arm when we turned the corner, and leaned in her ear..
"you like him don't you Luce?" I said nudging her in the ribs.
"owww and no... Umm course not" she said as she blushed galore.
"Luce.. don't lie.. I can see you blushing.." I said poking her cheek. She glared at me and pushed my arm off her face. Then she sighed.
"Alright alright.. But even if I did, he wouldn't like me anyway.." She said in a sad voice. I gave her a sympathetic smile and walked with Remus who was in front of us. I did the same thing as Lucy and nudged him in the ribs.
"Hey Remus.. You like Lucy, don't you?" I whispered in his ear. In the corner of my eye I could see Lucy giving me a 'OMG-DON'T-YOU-DARE-TELL-HIM' look. She was about to pounce on me but then Remus spoke.
"Huh... Who me? And Lucy? Naw I.. Course not.." He said laughing awkwardly. I looked at Lucy and she mouthed 'SEE!' while holding out her hand to point at Remus. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Remus.
"Remus.. it's totally obvious that you like Lucy, see your blushing" I smiled cheekily as Remus was blushing by the minute. He sighed.
"but even if I did she wouldn't like me.. Not with my furry little problem" He said in a sad voice.. I wore a confused look at him.
"What's your furry little problem?" I asked suspiciously. He stared at me shocked and covered his mouth.
"Huh? I... I didn't say that? um.. er.. coming Professor!" He called and walked faster. Such a terrible lair. But I shook it off and stared at Lucy. I gave her the 'I-told-you-so' look but she just rolled her eyes.
The next minute we had arrived at the Quiddich match. I told Lucy that I had to do something and waved at her as she left to find a good seat in the stands. I looked around and felt warm arms hug me.
"Hey" James said kindly.
"Hey" I said turning around. When I did, I looked at James fully. He was wearing his Lucky Gryffindor scarf, his Quiddich uniform with his elbow pads, knee pads and his flying glasses on his head, like usual. But.. I never noticed he looked so.. so damn sexy in his uniform. He had his hair ruffled and all spiky like he had just flown. He had that look on his charming face that made him so rebel. And his muscles could be seen even through the think jumper. Merlin. I am soooo glad I don't have to hide my feelings from him anymore. He's..so..*drool drool drool*
-Lily's Head POV-
Lily what are you saying? you love James, but your bloody hormones are taking over your body. Stupid hormones. Stupid James and his.. his amazingly muscular figure and his... his sexy-looking messy hair... Stupid Lily.
-Lily's POV-
I kept staring at James with dreamy eyes and just mumbled a bunch of Gobedegok from my head. Curse James and his god-like hotness.
"Merlin James.. wow.. hehe you look so.. and your just so.. woow" I mumbled.
As I was having my... (lets just say...) daydream, James was loving the way i was looking at him and chuckled a bit.
"You checking me out, Evans?" He said wiggling his eyebrows and wore a daring smile. I stopped my daydream and shot back to reality.
"erm... huh?.. oh.. um.. yes, I was.. actually... Problem.. Potter?" I said on tiptoes as I put my hands behind James's neck.
"..no.." He giggled. I kissed him gently and sighed happily, kissing my god-like boyfriend was heaven. I just wanted to stay like this forever, but I remembered that James had to tell me something.
"um. James, What was it that you wanted to talk about?" He turned from looking sexy to nervous and twittered his thumbs.
"its.. um.. its.." he stumbled through words trying to spit it out.
"its?" he sighed and stared at me and held my hands.
"Lily..would.. would you like to... to go on a date with me tomorrow at Hogsmeade?" I looked up at him and smiled happily.
"I'd loved to" I saw a huge smile across his face.
"Oh thank Merlin.. I've been stressing about that all week" I giggled.
"what that I might say no like I always used to? You silly duck" we both giggled.
"When should I meet you?" I wondered.
"um... maybe after breakfast" He smiled.
"Oh and also I want you to wear this" He slipped out his scarf from his neck and was giving it to me. His scarf was gold and scarlet stripped like the Gryffindor scarf and it was a bit warned out, considering that he wears it everyday. He insists its 'Lucky' because every time he's worn it since first year, Gryffindors never lost a single game.. I stared at it with longing eyes. It was so special to James, he's never taken it off, only if he really needed to, and he's never given it to anyone, maybe the marauders just to look after it, but still. Why would he want meto wear it? Of all people why me?
"James i cant possibly..."
"please wear it? at least just for this match? I want it to be in safe hands, the marauders might destroy it.. again.. do you know how many times they've had to use Reparo on this?"
"But but that's your.."
"I know it's my Lucky scarf but I want you to wear it, at least for today... and maybe tomorrow.. if you want. You'll look really really cute in it..." he said as he gave me a side smile. I stared at his eyes to see if he would change his mind but he wouldn't.
"Ok.." I sighed I wore the scarf and hugged him.
"Thanks James, you're a real legend" I said and snuggled to his chest.
"see, you look gorgeous.. not that you were never gorgeous.. you still are but.." I sighed and simply put my finger to his lips.
"James.. relax i'm not going to bite your head off" he smiled and gave me another hug.
"You better go.. Match is starting soon"
"ok.. wish me luck Lily" he said releasing me from our hug and heading for the Quiddich pitch.
"good luck!" I shouted "I'll cheer for you!"
"thank you!"
I headed for the stands and sat next to Alice and Lucy. I tried to look for Lizzy but couldn't find her.
"hey where's Lizzy?" I asked Lucy as she rolled her eyes.
"still finding someone to copy homework for Transfiguration" she said plainly. Typical.
"nice scarf.. I never knew you had one?" Lucy asked suspiciously.
"it's not mine i'm looking after it for James.. he said I could wear it tomorrow on our date!" I said excitedly.
"are you serious? you should totally wear it, it'd be sooo cute!" she said with dreamy eyes. I rolled my eyes at her comment.
"whatever.." I said and looked at Alice. I noticed that Frank wasn't next to her like he usually was.
"and where's your god for saken snog pillow?" I asked Alice joyfully. Iguess she could tell I was referring to Frank because I got a 'ha-ha..very-funny' glare from her.
"Ahem.. we don't always snog.." Alice said giving us the innocent eyes. Lucy and I turned our heads to her and gave her the 'yeah-right' look.
"errr.. Ally.. babe, you know we love you but, that's all you bloody do to him, you snog him to death!" Lucy exclaimed waving her arms everywhere as she giggled. I nodded in agreement but then turned my head to Ally's direction and got a grunt from her in return of Lucy's comment.
"Anyway.. haven't you seen him on the Quiddich field he's the new Gryffindor beater, along with Arthur Weasley" she exclaimed pointing to where a brown-haired Frank was and a nervous red-head, which would be Arthur.
"looks nervous doesn't he.." I said sympathetically.
"don't worry its only the 1st game of the season, I'm sure hell be relaxed after a few more games" Lucy said staring at Arthur.
"I heard him and Molly have been having midnight snogs in secret in the broom cupboard, did you know that?" Alice said waving her licorice wand every where.
"no.. how'd you find out?" I asked astounded, wow even Molly can even hide things we don't even know.
"man everyone's bloody snogging everyone.. LIFE'S NOT ABOUT SNOGGING PEOPLE!" Lucy shouted and looking around to everyone. The other Gryffindors just looked at her strangely. I got up and grabbed her shoulders to sit down.
"ok ok we get it we get it... just shh" I said calming Lucy down. As I was James's scarf had slipped off my neck and blew in the (almost)winter wind. I tried to grab it but it escaped my fingers.
"oh no! come back!" I tried to reach it again but it had already gone so high.
"oh no I've lost James's scarf!" But just when I was about to panic, there was a huge gush of wind more power fuller than the first and my hair blew with it like a red flag. I looked up and saw James on his broom, one hand on his broom handle to steady himself, and the other hand he held the scarf.. or his scarf. I sighed with relief.
"uh oh.. look here comes Lily's lover boy, what'd you say Lucy about that snogging?" Alice said with a cheeky smile as she was leaning in to us. I nudged her hard and ignored her wine.
"thanks James for catching... your scarf" I laughed. He smiled and toke of his flying glasses off his eyes.
"you're welcome malady.." he said giving me back the scarf. I reached for it and he kissed my hand. I blushed.
"hey prongs! come on the match is starting hurry up!" Sirius waved on his broom whizzing passed James, making our moment cut short. He looked at Sirius and sighed.
"Alright, I'm coming" he let go of my hand and turned his broom the other way to position.
"hope you win my beloved chaser" I said wrapping the scarf securing around my neck.
"don't worry, I will" he smiled and flew to his position on the Quiddich field. I sighed... again.
"look at you, I wouldn't be surprised if you too got married in a year!" Alice exclaimed.
"My beloved chaser? seriously Lils? can do better than that" Lucy laughed as I blushed.
"Shut up Lucy or do you wanna see some knuckle in your eyeball?" I said with a sly smile. She quickly kid behind Alice and peeped.
"You know Lils you can be really scary at times, you know that don't you?" Lucy managed to speak out. I huffed and crossed my arms watching Remus (commentating..) explaining some of the rules for the first years. I thought about what Alice said "look at you, I wouldn't be surprised if you too got married in a year!", I wondered to myself, pish.. yea right.. like me and James are ever going to get married in a year, were too young.
As I was wondering, I noticed that the game had already started...
"and Johnson takes the Quaffle, she moves to the left, she moves to the right, passes it to Potter, Potter dives down an attack by a Bludger, Weasley hits the Bludger out of the field! wow nice shot Weasley! Potter has the Quaffle, it looks like hes gonna shot but Regulus Black guards the lowest goal pole but wait potter loops and scores! great shot Prongs! 10 Points to Gryffindor!" Remus shouted. All the Gryffindors yelled with excitement, including me. In the distance I could see James fist pump in the air. I smiled.
Slytherin started with the Quaffle next...
"Snape grabs the Quaffle, tries to miss a bludger.. oooooo.. that's gotta hurt.." Remus said still keeping his eyes on the game. Severus had gotten hit by the bludger in the ribs and instantly dropped the quaffle and fell to the ground. Aww poor Sev.. Shut up Lily, remember what he did to you. yea.. thats.. thats right. he deserves it. As I watched Severus fall to the ground, Remus continues his commentating.
"Malfoy catches the Quaffle, flys to the slytherins goalpost..." Mary got her self ready to defend the goals and just when Mary was about to catch the quaffle, Lucius threw the quaffle straight at Mary, who flew off of her broom and fell to the ground. The quaffle went straight in the goal and Lucius scores.
"And Malfoy scores. 10 points to those slimy cheating..."
"LUPIN!" Porfessor Mcgonagall yelled.
"Sorry Proffessor Mcgonagall.." Remus apologized. This time the Slytherins roared with excitement.
"Folks I can tell that this match will be a long one.."
an hour Later...
"oh my god! the score is Gryffindor, 300 and Slytherin, 290! But the seekers still can't find the snitch! what are we going to do! All we need is for Slytherin to goal one more time and for them to find the snitch, well done for!" Alice said waving her arms like a maniac.
"oh i hope they're alright, its been an hour and look at the poor Gryffindors, they're so tired" Lucy said biting her nails nervously. I looked over to Sirius, Susan and James and they looked very worned out and tired, so did the rest of the team, just like Lucy had said. I looked over to the Slytherin team and they too were tired and worned out.
"folks it looks like both of the Quiddich teams seem to be worn out. Lets hope they make it before any of them gets hurt" said Remus sympathetically.
"Come on guys hang on, Just a little bit longer, I know you can do it." I begged to the Gryffindor team.
"Look I think Amos found something" Alice shouted and pointed to Amos Diggory. Amos was a very handsome guy and very charming, he's always been interested in Quiddich like James. Amos squinted in the distance, he zoomed from the Gryffindor end to the Slytherin end. The other seeker Narcissa Blackspotted him and zoomed by his side. He dodged the stands and looped to the snitch missing Narcissaby a long shot.
"AND DIGGORY CATCHES THE SNITCH! 150 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR! NICE GAME EVERYONE YOU SURE BEAT THOSE SLIMY SLYTHER-"
"LUPIN!"
"er... i mean... good game... everyone did their best... including the Slytherins.." Remus said innocently. I giggled and looked to find James in the skies but when i found him I saw a bludger going to James.
"JAMES WATCH OUT!" but it was already too late, it hit him and suddenly he lost gravity of his broom. He lost conscious and crashed to the ground and everyone gasped. I quickly ran passed the crowd with the girls close behind. I saw Susan coming toward us and she was explaining what she saw.
"its James he's hurt! he's on the pitch not moving. A bludger hit him somehow, bludgers are suppose to stop when the game stops, this bludger didn't stop, it hit straight to James" I had wide eyes and sprinted faster on the field. There was a crowed surrounding something on the ground and I was guessing it was James obviously. I ran faster and pushed my way through the crowd.
"move.. Move!" I was finally in the front when i saw James on the ground. His glasses were a fair bit away from his face. His hair was messy not that it changed anything...
"What the hell happened?" I said to everyone including some of the Slytherins who were still here.
"who the hell put a spell on that bludger so it could hit James" I could tell that someone must have put a spell on that bludger with all the information I have and I was getting fed up with all the slyterins laughing like they knew exactly what was going on.
"we did, obviously" Rodolphus Lestrange and Rabastan Lestrange said at the same time. Those bloody twins.. I knew it. (A/N ok even though their jk rowling's characters.. I thought it was necessary to make them twins so yea.. carry on)
"of course it was you two, why did you do it, seriously, was it really that necessary to do that?" I said in a stern voice.
"yeah, we thought that it was, he was playing hero again. I think we did our job right" They said with an evil grin. Those bastards. How dare they..
I grinded my teeth and just before I was about to reach for my wand, Professor Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey came to the scene.
"tsk tsk tsk.. another incident, take him to the hospital wing, no one is allowed to come, for his own safety" Dumbledore finished.
"Professor please, can I come, if I don't ill be really worried" I said with a sad and worried voice. He looked at me and sighed.
"alright, but only you Lily, he needs a lot of rest and medical treatment" I followed the Professor to the hospital wing and watched as everyone went back to the castle for lessons.
I must say that this Quiddich match was very Horrific indeed.
