James' POV.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter

"Now I understand I'm not the most popular person at the moment." I was saying to a group of 6 Gryffindor Quidditch team members, 5 of which were glaring at me.

"No! What makes you think that?" Rose said sarcastically.

"Haha very funny." I said to Rose. "Look I'm really really sorry that I forgot about our last practice and I promise it won't happen again. We only have 2 more practices before the Quidditch Final and I just KNOW we can win."

No one said anything. Roxanne, Fred, Peter, Rose and Lily were all still glaring at me. Alice was looking a bit guilty.

"Sorry guys but it was my fault that James didn't turn up for practice last time." Alice said.

"Doesn't excuse James." Lily said, stilling glaring. "He's the captain."

"Um ok if looks could kill I'd be dead a million times over so we could we just perhaps forget about it and move on?" I asked.

"No!" they all said. Well except Alice.

"Well what do you want from me?" I asked.

"Nothing at the moment. But we'll get you back at some point." Peter said.

"Ok then." I said. I didn't mind about them getting me back. At the moment we have to work on beating Davies' team in the Quidditch final. "Now team," I said getting into full captain mode. "This is a lot our last year and we just HAVE to beat Ravenclaw. We just HAVE to."

"And what if we don't?" Lily teased.

"You're dead." I said simply. And seriously.

"Well that's a bit harsh James." Alice said.

"Ok." I changed my punishment. "I just never speak to any of you again." Everyone rolled their eyes at my Quidditch obsession. I know they don't see it but THIS IS QUIDDITCH!

"Look team, we can really win it if we put 100% effort in. We have 3 incredible chasers." I indicated Roxanne, Peter and Alice. "An amazing seeker." I indicated my little sister. "An excellent keeper." I indicated Rose. "And a magnificent beater." I indicated me. "Oh and me."

"Yeah James. You're ok." Fred teased.

"Thanks mate." I rolled my eyes. "So let's get out their team and practice until we die from exhaustion!" I said enthusiastically.

Everyone glared at me.

"Ok just till we get exhausted. You people are just not committed enough." I huffed as I walked out onto the pitch.

There was already a team on it.

"Oi DAVIES!" I yelled as I walked across the pitch.

"Yes Potter?" the jerk smirked as he landed in front of me.

"What do you think you are doing? I booked the pitch to practice." I snarled.

"Plenty of room for all of us Potter. No need to get all defensive."

"Look. I've never come onto the pitch when you're practicing. I really think it should be the same for you. So get your bloody team and GET OFF THE PITCH!" I shouted.

"William, let's just get off the pitch so they can practice. If they booked it then we have no right to be here." Lorcan Scamander said as he landed beside Davies.

"Thanks Lorcan for recognising when it's someone else's turn." I said to Lorcan while glaring at Davies.

"'Turn' Potter? What are we? 5?" he smirked.

"With your brain. I wouldn't be surprised if you were." I snapped. "Now just get your team off the pitch while we're practicing. I know you need to practice for even having a chance of nearly beating us but cheating just really isn't the way to do it. We're unstoppable anyway."

"Unstoppable? Really Potter? Then how come Slytherin beat you?" he smirked.

"It was by 10 points. Not like last year where they whipped your sorry arses by 100." It was my turn to smirk.

Having nothing to say to that. Davies just walked off the pitch and called for his team to follow.

"Alright team." I said, turning around to my team. "Well as you can see by that display of Quidditch, Ravenclaw doesn't stand a chance against us. Let's go."

I'm serious. Well actually I'm James Sirius. But anyway, it was probably our best practice we've had in a long time. Alice, Roxanne and Peter were shooting amazingly well and Rose was saving almost all of them which I took as skill of our keeper and not lack of skill from our chasers. Lily caught the snitch in 2 minutes and had to let it go again. The next time catching it in 4. Let's just say I was proud to call her my sister. Fred and I were whacking the bludgers left and right. Getting them on target almost every time. By the end of practice we were all worn out (but no one had died from exhaustion so we obviously hadn't worked as hard as we could have but it was ok) and I was ecstatic at how good our team was.

"Our name will be on that Quidditch cup for sure this!" I said happily was we trooped off the pitch almost 2 hours after we started.

We would beat Ravenclaw. We would win the Quidditch cup. And we WOULD wipe that smug look of Davies face.

Author's note: Thanks heaps for the reviews guys. This was kind of a filler chapter but I think you need one of those every now and then. It's not very realistic if in every single chapter something exciting is happening. I really want them to win. But what did you guys think of the chapter? Can't wait for your review! Any prank ideas, please keep them coming! Thanks heaps to people who have sent ideas in.

Next chapter is a Rose/Scorpius chapter. Don't worry Alice/James fans. The chapter after that is theirs. Mostly. Well it's Quidditch too.

Thanks again for the reviews! Makes me feel loved! Hugs to everyone.
