Chapter 21-Through the motions pt.2

James needed another plan. Not one to make Lily laugh, but to show her she was right when she thought he had changed. So he would show her the James Potter he had been before he pranked her. It's odd how one small, minute thing could ruin everything.

It was quidditch season at Hogwarts. They had postponed it for awhile as the pitch wasn't responding to the rebuilding spells the rest of the school did, so it took longer to rebuild. But that was over and they now had their teams ready and James was on one of those teams.

The first game was Gryffindor vs Slytherin. James had a plan…he hoped this one would work...Merlin he hoped it would work.

"Hi everyone!" Sirius said. Sirius had been picked for commentary this year and was in on the plan, again. Of course this time Remus and Harry approved of the plan.

"Today the game is Gryffindor vs Slytherin, you probably already knew that of course. So let's welcome our teams, big applause for Gryffindor." Sirius said the players names as they flew up. Harry, Ginny, James, Ron and so on. Harry and Ginny's teams were also there, cheering them on.

The game went on and on...Blaise(who had been picked as seeker for Slytherin after Malfoy left) and Harry were circling the pitch looking rather bored. Gryffindor was winning by 20 points.

"Come on Harry." James whispered as he threw the quaffle and scored another 10 points. Harry flew by him.

"Well done." Harry said.

"Thanks mate." James said back.

"James Potter scoring another 10 points that's 110 to Gryffindor and only 80 to Slytherin, to bad Slytherin." Sirius said smugly.

"Black." McGonagall warned.

Just then Harry saw the familiar flash of gold. It was down by the ground, not this again. Harry dived down and saw Blaise doing the same, but Blaise was slower than Harry knew he could go-he hadn't found the snitch yet. He was just following Harry.

"And Harry Potters slotted the snitch! Come on mate I've got 10 Gallup s riding on this game!" Sirius yelled.

"Mr Black, are you betting?" McGonagall asked, she was not impressed. Alas, what had she expected, this was Sirius Black.

"Course not Minnie." Sirius said calmly.

Harry was plummeting to the ground at alarming speeds and everyone was cringing at just how much it would hurt if he were to crash. Blaise still hadn't spotted the snitch. Blaise wasn't a good seeker at all, but with Malfoy in France trying to rebuild his future Blaise was their best bet. Harry was getting closer and closer to the snitch. He was at arms length now, he reached out his hand and from the corner of his eye saw Blaise chicken out and pull up. He could do this! He could win the game! He was merely inches from the ground now, he was bound to crash.

Harry fought the snitch and pulled up before he hid the ground, there was a collective sigh of relief. Then the cheering happened. The Gryffindor, Hufflepuff And Ravenclaw stands all cheered. James put his plan into action.

He flew up to where his friends were and conjured a baby pink lily. He knew they were Lily's favourite flower.

"Lily." He said.

"What is it James." Lily snapped. She still used his first name though, that gave him hope.

"I just wanted to say sorry, I'm really sorry." A lot of girls sighed at his charm. Girls always did. "I just wanted to breaK the ice, I don't know why I forgot your hate for my pranks. I just...I don't know, I got so used to you being there and I hated when you left...I wasn't lying when I said I wanted to be your friend. I do like you-not just because you're a challenge, but because you're so full of light, Lily. I don't think you'll ever see yourself how I see you, I don't think anyone ever will-not to the full extent. And I want to try and get you to see everyday of my life." Everyone gasped. "Lily Evans will you make me the happiest guy in the world and forgive me?"

Everyone stared. That didn't end How expected, that was probably a good thing though. Everyone looked at Lily, not knowing what to expect.

"Promise me." Lily said finally. "Promise me you won't be a child anymore."

"Promise." James grinned.

"Never in my life did I think I'd be saying this to YOU, but I missed you James." Lily whispered.

"I missed you too." James smiled so much that his cheeks began to hurt.

"How is she so oblivious?" Hermione shook he head.

"I do not know." Remus shook his head as well.

"Hey 'Mione." Ron flew over.

"Yeah?" Hermione turned to him.

"Can we talk, later though. Meet me in the common room at six, please." Ron said.

"Sure." Hermione shrugged.

"Party in the common room starts after dinner!" Sirius yelled once the teachers were out of earshot.

Sorry it's another short chapter. I'll probably only write short chapters this weekend bc my friends round. But I shall update. Please review!
