Remus POV
Today was probably the first time my friends woke up, without me amplifying my voice, or throwing pillows at them.
"It's the first game of the season!" James yelled trying to find his scarf.
"Yea, and it's against the Slytherins! Sirius yelled. "If Gryffindor beats them in the first game we'll be set for life."
"Where did all of our scarfs, and hats go!" Peter said scurrying around. "If we don't find them, we'll be late to the match!"
I sighed, and pulled out my wand. "Accio, scarfs, and hats!" Instantly 4 pairs of scarfs and hats came to me. I tossed them to my friends, who were looking at me with awe.
"You've got to teach us that!" James said
"Sure, later. Right now, we've got a match to get to."
We made our way to the stands, and just in time too. Below I saw the Gryffindor, and Slytherin team come out.
I was glad to see the people on the Gryffindor team were people I knew that were, nice, and tough. The seeker, and captain who was in his 7 and last year at Hogwarts was Brandon Boot, the 2 beaters were Camille Horton, and Austin Williams, Horton in his 4 year, and Williams in his 5. The 3 chasers were John, Amber, and Fawn Ashe. All triplets, in 5 year, feisty, but fun to hang out with. Lastly the 6-year Keeper was Wyatt Walker, everyone knew him to be calm, and willing to help anyone out.
After everyone was settled in, the person reporting the game Ethan Carmen, another fellow Gryffindor yelled on his megaphone," WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE FIRST QUIDITCH GAME OF THE SEASON!" I saw Madam Hooch beckon the two team captains to shake hands. Then Ethan started to comment again, "MADAM HOOCH THROWS THE QUAFFLE IN, AND THE GAME BEAGINS! SLYTHERINS TEAM CAPTAIN, COLTON HALE PICKS UP THE QUAFFLE, AND PASSES IT TO CHASER, RYAN GIBBS WHO SHOOTS, AND- OOO NICE SAVE FROM KEEPER WYATT WALKER!"
I looked over at Sirius, and James who were eagerly watching and cheering on the team, but poor peter he tried to look excited but was shaking a little bit from having a fear of heights. I tried to assure him that the stands were sturdy but I don't think he heard a word I was saying. Then I heard Ethan comment again.
"SLYTHERINS ARE IN THE LEAD WITH 50 POINTS WHILE GRYFFYNDOR IS BEHIND WITH 30." Then I heard him mutter a few words about the Slytherin team that Professor McGonagall would not have liked.
James groaned. "If the Slytherin team finds the snitch, and wins I'm not showing my face for a week."
"Yea, all I need is to see Snape, cheering, and gloating about this win." Sirius added.
"Don't worry guys, Gryffindor still has time." I said, hoping I was right.
"AN EXCELLENT SHOT MADE BY JOHN AND FAWNE ASHE! GRYFFYINDOR IS NOW TIED WITH SLYTHERIN!"
"Yes!" I heard James, and Sirius shout.
"WHO WILL GET THE GOLDEN SNITCH FIRST, AND WIN THE MATCH?"
The game went on with both teams, scoring, blocking, pushing, and eyeing each other. Finally, the score was Slytherin: 110, and Gryffindor: 90. I was getting tired, and cold, I really hoped Brandon would find the snitch fast.
And then it happened. As if my thoughts had magic powers. I'm pretty sure everyone saw Brandon go into a deep dive, then come soaring back up with a golden glint in his hand. He had gotten the golden snitch! Gryffindor was now in the lead with 240 points! We won!
"BRANDON BOOT GETS THE SNITCH AND GIVES THE GRYFFYDNOR TEAM A GLORIOUS VICTORY!"
There was so much cheering, and yelling I thought my eardrums would explode. But I didn't care this was a good victory, and start to the year.
We all went back into the common room, and sat by the fire, which was open since most of the students were packing for winter break. The marauders, and only a few other students were staying at Hogwarts for break, which was kind of upsetting since we had a big prank planned. But no worries, there were still plenty of people to enjoy it.
"So, Remus, what spells are we going to need for this prank?" James asked.
"Yea, and they won't be too complicated…right?" Peter said nervously.
"Don't worry guys, we don't really need that many spells," I said. "The prank is basically already set up for us. We just need to tweak it up a bit. But there is one spell you need to know."
I leaned in and whispered the spell. I suggested we go into our dorm so when we practiced the spell no on would give us funny looks.
After practicing the spells, I suggested we get sleep. After all tommarow was Christmas.
Sorry that I haven't posted in a while I was really busy. I know this chapter has a handful of names but I hope you enjoyed it! The next chapter will be posted on Christmas, and it will also be titled Christmas :)
