It was the first day of Quiditch practice. James had just bought a new broom. A
Comet 200. One of the fastest brooms out there. James was the Seeker for Gryffindor. Also
on the team was Timothy Wood, Kandace Bell, Angel Johnson, Alexandera Spinnet, and Joe and
Aurther Weasley. James stood on the deserted field and breathed in the clean fall air. He
was happier then he'd been in days. He made up with Lily, Snape got his butt kicked, and
Remus's secrete was safe. Soon the other Gryffindor teams came out onto the field. Each
holding a broom while the Weasley brothers held a crait with the balls in them. "Alright
everyone lets get ready the Quiditch cup has are name on it again." said Wood mounting his
broom. Aurther Weasley let the balls into the air and mounted his broom with the rest of the
team.
James was searching for the snitch. It was easy to find it since he had been the
Seeker since his second year in Hogwarts. He creamed the other competiters with ease and
know he dominated the field. His greatest catch was when he dived from 200 feet from the
air strait to the ground to catch the Snitch. Just then James notched Wood and the others
floating to the ground. He captured the Snitch which was right next to him and floated down
toward them. The six looked furious for the Slytherins were heading out onto the field
with there Strata 132s. "Oh if it isn't the losing team." said the Slytherin captain Max
Flint. James noticed Lucius Malfoy was behind him and Snape. James wished he could turn into
a deer and kick his butt again but he didn't want to expose his secrete.
"That's funny if were losers how come we won the last four years." said Wood cooly.
Flint's grin changed into a frown. He cracked his knuckes and said, "Let's make a little
bet." A smile crept on his face along with the other Slytherins. "I'm listening." replied
Wood. "I bet you 20 Galleons that we beat you." said Flint. Wood looked over at his team and
smiled at James. "Your on!" said Wood. The two shook hands tightly as if they were going to
break each others arm off them let go. The Slytherins walked away chuckling. "You really
think we'll win?" asked Bell. Wood nodded and looked over at James. "And if I win I'm taking
us all out for butterbeer." he said grining broadly. James gluped and walked out into the
locker room. He changed out of his robes and into a fresh clean black one.
As he walked out of the locker room he bumpped into Sirius who was on his way to see
if practice was over. The two walked up to the commen room which was empty. The two sat near
the window and looked at each other. "Glad you and Lily are back together." said Sirius with
a smile. James grinned and then said, "Me too." Just then the portrait door swung open and
Lily came in. She bit her lower lip when she saw James. "I have to go bye James." he said
getting up. he walked over and passed Lily saying, "Bye Lily." Lily noded and waited until
she heard the door shut. She slowly walked over to James and sat down in the chair oppisate
of him. She took a deep breath and smiled sweetly. "How you feeling?" asked James looking
at her from head to toe. "Fine." she said rubbing her arm.
James noticed Lily seemed uneasy. "Are you okay?" he asked. Lily but her lower lip
again and looked down. "Um well I was thinking um well..." she tried to tell him. "About the
kiss?" he said quickly. Lily nodded. The two sat there staring at each other not speaking.
James ran his fingers through his hair. "Did you feel anything?" asked Lily. "Feel what."
James said stupidly. Dumb question he thought. Of course I felt something. I felt love. "Oh"
Lily replied looking away. James got out his chair and knelt down near in front of her. She
looked at him with her green eyes filled with passion. He took her hand and gently brushed
his lips against her knuckles. She slowly pulled her hand away. "James... I felt something
last night... when we kissed." she said. "Oh?" said James raising his eyebrow. "I... James
I..." Lily sputtard. "Lily I love you." said James. Lily sat there looking shocked. She had
never expected James to say that. "James I..." Lily got up and walked a little away from him
and stood there with her back turned. James walked up to her nad put his hands on her
shoulders. She walked away.
Then James finally heard a soft sniff. "Lily?" he said softly. Lily turned around.
Tears were streaming down her cheeks. "James..." she said quietly. She turned away from him
again. This time he placed his arms around her chest and waist and pressed her against him.
She stood there unable to move awat from him crying. James breathed softly in her hair then
he kissed her neck. She titled her head to the side and let him kiss up and down it. "Lily
do... you... love... me?" James asked between kisses. Lily didn't reply she let him continue
kissing her neck and shoulder. How warm I feel when I'm near him Lily thought as he kissed
her again. James let his grip on her loosend and she slipped away. "James please... I'm not
ready... I can't." she said softly. James nodded and backed away. "Still scared?" he asked.
Lily nodded and walked to the stairs leading to her dorm. She stopped at the foot of the
stairs and said, "James give me until tomarrow after the game."
Lily then walked up the stairs and James was alone. He sunk into a chair and thought
for moment. Was this a test he thought. Maybe she wanted to see if he really loved her.
James took a deep breath and then he saw a the portrait door open. In came Remus, Sirius,
and Peter.

The next day after breakfast James stood ready to play with the rest if his teams
mates. He was wearing a scarlet robe with gold trimmings. He mounted his broom and he waited
for the whistle. As soon as he heard it he zoomed off in search of the Snitch. Maybe if
Gryffindor won the game Lily would be happy James thought. Not to mention Wood wiing 20
galeons in the process. Just then he saw it. The snitch was right next to... "glup"... Snape
and he didn't even see it. He couldn't make a move for it or Snape would catch it.
James zoomed high in the air and hoped Snape would htink he saw the snitch. He was
in luck. Snape followed and there was the snitch free for him to get. Suddenly someone
screamed. James looked to the left and saw a buldger comeing his way. James flew away nearly
missing it. The Snitch was gone. James cursed under his breath. He flew around again looking
for the golden ball. Just then James heard a time out. He floated down to see Wood looking
furiously. The score was 70-30 and Slytherin was winning.
"Come on were better then them." said Wood. "How could we be lsoing?" Wood looked at
them as if he was going to kill them if they lost. Just then James noticed Lily looking at
him. She had a sad look on her face as if she was going to cry again. Why was she still
upset? Was it because of Snape? James then saw Sirius and Remus cheering for him along with
Allison and Gillian. They seemed happy but not Lily. Just then James saw Snape glaring at
him. He looked over at Lily then back at Snape. It was because of him. Lily was afraid of
Snape. Then he noticed Snape's eyes were fixed on Lily. His cruel black eyes piercing in her
making her quiver with fear. Suddenly James understood what she wanted him to do.
The night Lily was almost nitten by Remus she thought James couldn't be trusted and
that she hated him. Then just o nights ago Snpae almosted raped Lily. He hurt her and she
feared him. "Lily wants me to protect her..." he said to himself. "James." said Wood. "Come
on." James nodded and mounted his broom. The game started by the sound of the whistle. James
bolted across the sky and toward the other end of the field. He knew the Snitch was there
and Snape was no where in sight. He then with a wuick flashed grabbed the snitch and ended
the game. Gryffindor won 180-70. Wood was cheering and crying. Flint paid him his 20 galeons
and left yelling at Snape.Everyone ran out to the field congratulating the team. Lily stayed
in the stands.
When the stadium was cleared Lily still sat in the stands. James stood behind her.
He was back in his old robes and he was clean. He was about to tap her on the shoulder when
she looked back at him. "Lily." he said. Lily opened her mouth to respond but there was the
sound of someone walking across the bleachers. Snape stood high in the last row. Lily stood
up but James placed his arm in front of her. "Stay back." he said. Snape walked down with
his hands shoved in his pocket. "Thanks a lot Potter." he hissed evilly. "Because of you I'm
know kicked off the team." "You were the worst player ever." James growled. Snape's eyes
wondered over to Lily. Fear was in her eyes.
"Hello Lily." he said in a cold voice. Lily backed behing James. "Leave her alone
you digusting greese ball." said James taking a step coser to Snape. Snape fist clenched in
his pockets. He then growled. "I'll show you." said Snape. Snape pulled out his wand and
shouted a few words. A bright green light shot out his wand. James pushed Lily out of the
way making her fall to the ground. James pulled out his wand and quickly shouted a few words
and his wand flew out of his hand. Snape spun around to get his wand but there standing
behind him was Remus and Sirius. Sirius had Snapes wand in his hands.
"Get lost Snape." Remus growled. Snape growled but didn't move. "Leave or else."
Sirius with a mean face. Snape reached for his wand and Sirius gave it back while Remus
gaurded him. He then turned and walked away. James looked down at Lily. He quickly helped
her up. She buried her face in his chest. He stroked her hair and smiled. Just then there
was a huge blast. James went flying onto the field with Lily. Remus and Sirius turned to see
Snape on the top most part. Remus shouted a spell making Snape fly down to the field. James
saw him fall and then without even picking up his wand, took Snape by the collar and punched
him in the face. "Get lost you coward." James roared. Blood dripped out of Snape's mouth
and nose. James picked the frightened Lily up and walked her out of the stadium.
"You'll pay for this Potter." shouted Snape after him. James didn't give a crap what
Snape said. He was to angry and yet worried about Lily. He laid Lily on the commen room
floor. She had stopped crying. "James." she whispered into his chest. "Yes?" he said hugging
her and stroking her hair. "I love you." she whispered. James looked at her and she looked
back. Lily was smiling at him. James smiled back and hugged her. Then the two looked at each
other again and Lily kissed James on the cheek. James smiled and titled her chin up and
kissed her on the lips. Just then the portait hole opened. Remus, Sirius, and Peter walked
in with Alexia, Gillian, and Allison.
"Are we interupting something?" asked Remus. James and Lily broke off from thier
kiss and looked at them. "Actually yes you were." said James. Their friends laughed and
walked over to them. "So anyway are you guys offically a couple yet?" asked Allison. Lily
looked at James and James looked at Lily. Then the two nodded and said, "Yes were offically
a couple now." Thier friends cheered. The guys jumped on James and punchedh im on the
shoulder. "Wait a go lover boy." shouted Serius. Lily's friends giggled and soon began to
burst out laughing at the guys. Soon the eight laughed the night away.

Late at night while everyone was asleep he sat by the window. It was late and he
should have got to bed but he couldn't sleep. Sure he was happy but something was bothering
him. Maybe it was the thought of Snape... was he going to get him back? The thought flew
still haunted James mind throught the last year in Hogwarts. But nothing happened. Maybe
Snape forgot and didn't care anymore. Soon James and Lily got married and were soon to have
a baby.
