Disclaimer: The night is still young my lovelies, the revolution for this story will happen soon...
Summary: Lily doesn't understand what the big hype about Quidditch is. Sirius and Hestia are watching amused as James explains every tiny detail to her, wagering whether or not she'll understand a word of it.
A/N: WARNING! Total drabble ahead!
Absolutely short!
Sirius and Hestia watched Lily and James carefully.
They noted James' stunned face when Lily said she didn't understand the point of Quidditch.
They also noted Lily's interested face as she listened intensively as James explained it in fine detail.
They both had bets placed on this.
Sirius didn't think she would last ten minutes, that the girl wouldn't understand the meaning of Quidditch and how it's so important to his best friend.
Hestia thought that Lily would hang onto James' every word, and from the face she saw Lily make as he had started explaining the game, she knew she was going to win herself 20 gallons.
The pair, watched in complete astonishment as Lily kept asking questions for James to answer, not even bothering to slow him down as he began talking faster.
Both, Sirius and Hestia, could see that Lily was hooked, and that neither of them would be able to steer the girl away from James' explanation. To the two of them, it was unbelievable.
To the two of them, Lily and James were enemies. So this new found friendship the two seemed to have acquired was quite strange to them.
Outside of this common room, no one had ever seen those two get along, but in the common room, they were bickering, studying, eating, or talking to each other with such interest that it scared most of the Gryffindor students.
Neither Hestia nor Sirius had ever seen Lily look more interested in anything, besides her latest Transfiguration essay. It puzzled them entirely.
"Can you teach me?"
With that, Hestia held her hand out in front of Sirius with a pleased expression, and waited while he searched his pockets for the twenty gallons that he now owed her.
