The Quidditch Final

Lily slammed her books on the table in front of Malfoy.

" What do you think you're playing at? Telling me you want to go down to the chamber with me. You would probably curse me and leave me down there." she frowned at him.

" Listen, in my mum's first year, she was kinda possessed by You-Know-Who. And if it doesn't stop soon, they'll start accusing her. I don't want her to go to Azkaban. So, when I found out you were planning on going, I wrote you a note. Please, I need to go to my mum's sake." Malfoy pleaded.

" For a Slytherin, you're pretty nice." Lily said." All right. You can go with me. We'll leave at midnight after exams. Meet me in the out of order bathroom."

" I'm not being soft. I'm just trying to save my mum." Malfoy said, frowning. " I'll see you then."

For the rest of the potions class, Lily and Malfoy didn't speak. When the bell rang, Lily rushed out of the room. Janet, Sarah, and James met up with her.

" What's up with you and Malfoy?" Sarah asked.

" Nothing, I need to go to the library." Lily said.

" Again? Lily, you've been going to the library every day for a week." Janet said.

" I'm working on something. I'll see you guys later." Lily said as she walked off.

The next Saturday was the Quidditch Final. Gryffinfor against Ravenclaw. Lily had never been so nervous in her life. The practices were raised to 3 hours a day. Finally, the day came.

" Come on, Lily, just eat a little bit of toast." Janet urged her.

" I'm not hungry. How many times do I have to tell you?" Lily replied as she stood up to go out to the field to get ready. When she got there, she found the rest of the team there already. She silently put her Quidditch robes on and grabbed her broomstick. 10 minutes later, she was out on the field and up in the air. Madam Hooch blew her whistle and the game began. Lily flew around the field hoping she would find the snitch. But Roger Porter, the seeker for the Ravenclaw team was following her closely. So he wanted to follow her around instead of looking for it himself. She dived. Roger, thinking she had seen the snitch, dived after her. At the very last minute, Lily pulled her broom up. She flew away fast. Then, she saw it. The snitch was hovering 20 feet away. She went after it. But just as she was about to reach it, one of the Ravenclaw beaters flew in front of her causing her to crash into him. The stands roared of anger. Madam Hooch blew her whistle.

" Penalty to Gryffindor." she said.

James took the shot and made it. For the first time in the game, Lily heard the score. Gryffindor leads, 60 to 40. Lily had to get the snitch soon. Then, she saw it again. The snitch was not even 1 foot from the ground. She dived. As she gathered speed, she stuck out her hand. She grasped the tiny golden ball. She crashed, but managed to keep the snitch in her hand. The stands exploded. The Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were cheering. Lily saw James, Katie and Anna run to her.

" Lily, are you ok?" Katie asked.

" Good job! We won, Lily, we won!" Anna said, not showing any notice to that her seeker was laying on the ground after a 50 foot dive.

" I'm ok, Katie. Just dazed." Lily replied.

Then, Hermione came running, along with Harry. " Lily! Are you ok?" she asked. She conjured a stretcher and put Lily on it. After a few minutes, Lily was able to stand up. Then, Harry walked back to the place where he was sitting and returned with a huge silver cup. He handed it to Anna.

" I would like to congratulate Gryffindor for winning the house cup." he said.

After the game, everyone went back to the common room. There, waiting for the whole team was Gryffindor. Nobody went to bed until 3 in the morning. There was butterbeer, candy and loads of food. When Lily went to bed, she was the happiest girl alive. As she fell off to sleep, she relived the game in her mind.

Sorry again for making it so short. I promise my next chapters will be very long. See ya later!
