The first Saturday of March was an excellent day to play Quidditch. Albus headed with the rest of the Hufflepuff to the pitch. Despite the good weather, he dreaded this match. Hufflepuff against Gryffindor and his sister was the Gryffindor seeker... He didn't like last year when his brother was in the team and four cousins, but now he knew that he or his sister would fail in their only task: catching the snitch.
Lily was good in preventing Albus to catch the snitch. He had already seen it a few times, but she could always block him.
After half an hour, Albus finally saw the snitch and Lily was too high to prevent him to catch it. He flew at it and so did Lily after just a second. He almost caught it, when he heard a sharp shriek, a shriek of terror and he knew that it was his little sister who produced it. Apparently she had lost control of her broomstick. He flew as fast as he could to her, forgetting about the match. His sister's safety was far more important than a game. Lily's broomstick flew away from him, but Albus was faster. When he almost reached her, he cried: "Jump, now!"
Lily let herself fall and Albus caught her on his broomstick only one feet lower. He placed her on the safe ground. Suddenly the snitch appeared next to him. It was really fast, but Albus' quick reflexes did their work.
"Hufflepuff wins!"
Lily embraced her brother. "Thank you! I love you, Al! You are a hero!"
"You would do the same for me."
"Of course I would, I would never let anything harm you. But still you are a hero!"
Albus smiled at his sister. The rest of the two teams joined them.
James who usually was always cool, was almost crying and embraced his sister and brother.
"You are amazing, Al!"
Of course there was a party in the Hufflepuff common room that night. The team didn't only win the match, but Albus was now a kind of hero.
Susan approached him. "It was difficult to get near to you. You are surrounded."
"I know."
"Bet a lot of girls want to be your girlfriend now."
"I don't want them."
"No, no one?"
Albus shrugged.
"I think there is someone." Susan was laughing.
"Maybe."
"I take that for a yes. Why don't you just go and kiss her?"
"What if she doesn't love me?"
"She would be mad in that case. You can say who it is, then I can say whether you should try it."
"I don't think so."
"Why not? Don't you trust me?"
"Of course I do, but... well... just drop it." Albus couldn't say to her that the only one he wanted was she.
"What's the problem?"
"Susie, I just don't want to say it. Please stop about this."
"I don't see why you don't want to say it. Except if..." she blinked at him and said:" I'm that girl." Of course she was just teasing him, but Albus hesitated a bit too long before answering. And he was blushing. "I... you are... just a... good friend." He died with shame for how stupid he must have sounded.
Susan's mouth fell open. "Oh my god! It is me, isn't it!"
"Yes,"Albus whispered. "I'm going to sleep." He turned his back to her. The faster he could get away, the better. He felt so ridiculous.
"No, wait!"
She gripped him, stood on her toes and gave him a kiss.
"I love you too, hero," she whispered in his ear.
Albus had never felt so happy before. He didn't let her go for the rest of the evening. Together they enjoyed the party in their basement. They were the two last to be up, when they finally separated and went both to their own dormitories.
