'I DIDN'T SAY IT!' Gracie yelled furiously.
'YOU DID!' James shouted back.
'NO I DIDN'T!'
'I WAS THERE! FABIAN WAS THERE! GIDEON WAS THERE! LILY EVEN SPOKE TO US SAYING THAT YOU FANCIED SIRIUS!
'SHUT UP JAMES YOU HAVE NO PROOF!'
'I WAS THERE!'
'NO YOU WEREN'T!'
'URGH!' James said frustrated.
'Look, your both my friends and you shouldn't-'
'THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU SIRI- BLACK! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU BLACK!'
A stunned silence filled the common room.
'Black?' Sirius whispered, looking hurt. 'Black? That is what you call me? Black?
'Yes, Black.'
'Fine, Prewett.'
Everyone remained silent.
'I suppose I'm Potter now then?' James asked.
'Yes, Potter.'
'Gracie you don't have to be like this. You can just admit it and-'
'Admit it? Admit what?'
'That you said you fancied Sirius.'
'I didn't say that!'
'For Godric's sake Gracie ask your brothers if they were there then!' James told her.
'First of, its Prewett now to you Potter. And secondly, fine. Gideon! Fabian! I didn't say it did I?'
Fabian and Gideon shrunk back into their chairs under their sister's glare.
'Urgh-'
'-We're staying-'
'-Out of-'
'-This.'
'They just basically just admitted that you did but won't say it because you're there sister!' James pointed out.
Gracie glared at him and her brothers.
'Lily did you ever have a conversation with Black and Potter about who I fancy? If I fancy anyone?'
Lily grinned.
James knew Lily would take Gracie's side. They were best friends and she never liked James and Sirius.
Lily had been waiting for this. Waiting for Gracie not to be 'shared' anymore.
'I never had such conversation.'
'I rest my case.' Gracie said.
'Wha-!' James started off but Sirius tugged on his arm.
'C'mon James, leave it. If she doesn't want to admit it, then leave her be. We know the truth.' Sirius said quietly.
'So you're just going to let her get away with it?' James cried out.
'There's nothing to get away with.' Gracie cut in.
'Shut it Prewett.'
'Don't tell me-'
'I always knew you were a lot of things Prewett but I never thought you were a liar.'
Gracie chuckled darkly.
'Oh James, I've be called many things. A liar included. I don't care anymore.'
'What's happening here?' Andy demanded as she came into the common room.
'Nothing, we were just leaving.' Gracie sneered and went up the stairs to the girls' dormitories with Lily trailing behind her.
'Is that Grace Prewett?' Andy asked as soon as Gracie was out of sight and ear shot.
'Yeah,' James muttered. 'How do you know?'
'Heard things,' Andy answered. 'What were you arguing about? I could hear you from outside! I came in because I knew the password and thought I heard your voices.'
'Just the girl I like denying that she said she liked me in front of the entire Gryffindor house. Nothing much. No big deal.'
'She'll come round.'
'How do you know?' Sirius questioned doubtfully.
'I'm a girl myself so I know what we're like. She's denying it because she's embarrassed and doesn't think you feel the same way.' Andy explained.
'But I do feel the same way.'
'Prove it to her then.' Andy turned around to leave.
'How?' Sirius asked but Andy was already gone.
Sirius sighed.
'Girls are weird.'
'You got that right mate.'
James woke early on Saturday, excited for the day ahead.
Quidditch try outs.
Today was the day. The day he was (hopefully) going to become a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
He glanced at his clock. Okay, it was Remus's and it read: 9: 47.
9: 47. Way too early to be up.
His head hit back onto the pillow when- 9: 47! Try out were at 10!
James scrambled up, tossing his covers to the side and picking up his glasses and putting them on.
Heading to the bathroom to wash his face, he decided he didn't have time to shower and he only had thirteen minutes and counting down to get ready, to grab his broom and to run down to the Quidditch Pitch.
He washed and brushed his teeth, getting changed quickly.
He picked up his broom and looked at the clocked quickly.
9: 53.
Sirius and Peter were still asleep when he looked. He didn't have time to wake them so he went downstairs. They would wake and come down later he thought.
'James! There you are! I was getting worried!' Remus greeted him in the common room.
'Yeah, yeah, we need to go!'
James began running, Remus sprinting beside him.
Down a few floors, down many corridors, past the Great Hall where there would be no time for breakfast and out into the Hogwarts grounds.
They headed over to the Quidditch Pitch where he could see people gathered on the field and in the stands.
'See you after Remus!'
James joined the group on the pitch.
'You're two minutes late Potter. If you get picked for Chaser, I'd expect you to be more on time in the future.' Dorcas said sharply to him as she wrote his name down.
'Okay.' He panted, out of breath.
'OKAY!' Dorcas shouted, silencing everyone.
'First of, first-years leave now and everyone without a broom get a school one from Bilius. If you can't fly or never been on a broom before leave. Everyone else start doing laps around the field! GO!'
James mounted his broom, a Nimbus 1, and rose into the air.
Ahh, it was great to be back in the air. The wind hit him as he flew that feeling of just… flying.
Oh, he could defiantly imagine flying here in a real Quidditch Match.
Around 20 people had left the pitch while James had been flying either because they couldn't fly, were first years, never had been on a broom before or had lied and started flying but either count rise, couldn't get higher than few feet off the ground.
One of those people wasn't Gracie Prewett.
Red hair tied in a ponytail and robes flying behind her, she sped ahead of everyone else.
'Okay! Land!' Dorcas ordered and everyone did so.
'Anyone trying out for Keeper can leave as that's obviously my position.'
A 4th year boy slunk out of the group and to the stands.
'It looks like only Fabian and Gideon were going for Beaters so they automatically get the positions.'
James had a good idea why no one had tried out for the Beaters positions other than the twins. Everyone was scared they would skin them alive if they took their spots on the team.
'Right, Seeker first! First one to get the Snitch wins!'
Grac- Prewett and about 6 others rose to the air after Dorcas realised the Snitch.
Not long after the Snitch was caught and Prewett was announced Seeker for the Quidditch team.
'Awesome!' Prewett had shouted when Dorcas had told her she was officially on the team.
'Congratulations sis!'
'This will be a rub in the face to Snape. Slytherin try outs were yesterday and he got asked to leave 5 minutes in.' she said happily.
She ran off to hug the other first year Gryffindors (including Peter and Remus to his surprise then he remembered they hadn't accused Prewett of anything) and Hestia and Emmeline who had come to watch and cheer her on.
'Right Chasers, there's 12 of you.' (A/N: Just like to say I started watching Finding Nemo from this point on wards so sorry for any mistakes i.e. rushing etc.)
'So let's have you 3 first,' Dorcas pointed to 3 people. 'And you 3 play against each other. Fabian and Gideon will try and get you with Bludgers. All of you score in the same goal against me. Let's go.'
James wasn't in the first 6 selected and waited as people slowly got told to leave either from being hit to many times with a Bludger, couldn't pass, catch or score etc.
Soon it was his turn.
He rose.
He scored, dodged, flew, catched, and through and soon enough they landed and Dorcas announced,
'The Chasers are Bilius Weasley, Dirk Cresswell and James Potter.'
He grinned. He had made it.
(A/N: Dory! Sorry.)
'Well done mate! I knew you could do it!' Sirius said, coming up to him.
'Thanks mate.'
'Nothing out of Remus.' Sirius whispered.
James nodded.
'Practice is tomorrow! Be there!'
'C'mon then, we have a History of Magic essay to do.'
'Noooooo!'
(A/N: I'm really sorry! This was a terrible chapter! I apologise so so much!
