James Potter Chapter 4
by, Sirius87
After the meeting in the Great Hall we all went back to our common rooms. Lily and Hope were sad about Sally's death. Sirius, Remus, Peter, Lily, Hope, Amber, Kristina, and I were talking.
"So, how was your Christmas break?" Lily asked Kristina.
"It was great," she answered. "I got a new broom, a Shooting Star!"
"Cool!" I said. "Can I see it?"
"Okay," she said and ran upstairs and came down shortly after with a very shiny and new looking broom.
"It's the newest model," she said. "My parents got it for me because I got on the quidditch team."
"Woah," Sirius said in awe.
"When's the next match?" I asked.
"It's in a week. We're playing Slytherin," Kristina said.
"You're gonna have no problem beating them with this," Sirius said confidently.
***
Next Friday came very slowly, but finally Sirius, Remus, Lily, Hope, Amber, and I were sitting in the audience holding up the Gryffindor banner. The Gryffindor team walked onto the field and we applauded for at least two minutes straight. Then the Slytherins walked out in their slimy green robes and we booed as usual. Then Madame Hooch blew her whistle and the teams took off.
"It looks like the Gryffindors will easily be able to win the cup this year because of Kristina Haubrich's new broom. She somehow managed to get a Shooting Star, the latest broom! According too Which Broomstick, the Shooting Star is gonna be the broom of choice for the national teams at this year's World Championship. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely gonna go and see-"
"Jordan, can you please tell us what's happening in the match?" Professor McGonagall interrupted.
"Sorry Professor, just some background information- the Shooting Star has the fastest acceleration, and also the sharpest brakes-"
"Jordan!"
"Okay, okay. Gryffindor has possession, as usual. Christopher Bell is heading for the goal, oh no Kathryn Mellors of Slytherin now has the Quaffle. She passes to Sarah McDaniel, she's zooming across the field will she score? No, Thomas Wood manages to stop the Quaffle. Oh, and it looks like Kristina has spotted the Snitch. Lucius Malfoy, the Slytherin Seeker, is trying to get it too. He now is flying at Kristina at top speed. Be careful Kris! Lucius' fails his pathetic attempt to knock Kristina off her broom because of the acceleration ability of her Shooting Star. If Lucius actually spent time reading Which Broomstick, he would have been smart enough to know not to try and beat a Shooting Star for speed. The January edition of Which Broomstick clearly states on page 17 that-"
"JORDAN! ARE YOU BEING PAIDED TO ADVERTISE SHOOTING STARS? GET ON WITH THE COMMENTARY!"
"Right Professor, anyway now that Kristina has lost sight of the Snitch, thanks to Lucius' cheating, the game might last a little longer. Right now Angel Miller has the Quaffle for Gryffindor, she could use a Shooting Star because it would help her avoid the Bludgers. Her Asteroid 19 is getting old. Anyway, she's almost at the goal. She tries to score, but Kelly Kite intercepts it. Oh look, Kristina has spotted the Snitch again. Timothy Allen hits a Bludger at her which distracts her and she has lost sight of the Snitch. Janet Vooders now has possession for Slytherin and she scores. The score is 10-0, Slytherin."
After another 30 minutes the score is 100-10, Slytherin. There have been no new sightings oh the Snitch.
"Gryffindor in possession, come on Chris, only a little farther. Yes, Christopher Bell scores for Gryffindor making the score 100-20. Oh, and Lucius Malfoy has spotted the Snitch. Kristina immediately races to the other side of the field where he is. Lucius flies at her again trying to knock her off her broom. Am I the only one seeing this? How come there haven't been any penalties? Kristina, focusing hard on the Snitch, lunges forward at the same time as Lucius dives at her. Kristina catches the Snitch but is thrown off her broom by Malfoy. Gryffindor wins 170-100.
"What the hell was Malfoy doing to Kristina?" Sirius asked while he got up to see if she was okay. We all managed to get through the crowd on the field to see Kristina. She was unconscious on the ground. Her right leg appeared to be broken because it was in a very odd position. She had hit her head when she fell and she now had a big bruise on it.
"Everyone clear away," Madame Pomfrey shouted. "Come on, clear away. I must take Miss Haubrich to the hospital wing immediately. See, this is what happens when you play quidditch. It's a terrible sport in my opinion. It always ends in injuries." She then magiced up a stretcher and took Kristina into the castle.
***
Later that day Sirius, Lily, Hope, Amber, and I went to visit Kristina in the hospital wing. She looked much better, she was conscious and her leg had been fixed, but she still had the bruise on her head.
"How do you feel?" Amber asked.
"Fine, my head hurts a little, but Madame Pomfrey did a charm or something that got rid of most of the pain. I wish I could go back to the common room with you guys, but Madame Pomfrey is making me stay here at least until Monday. Isn't that ridiculous!"
"Yeah," we all said.
"Is your broom okay?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah, it's fine. The whole quidditch team came to visit me earlier. They gave me my broom."
"Oh yeah, I forgot, good catch!" I said.
"Thanks, that bitch Malfoy kept trying to knock me off my broom! I knew I would have to let him hit me if I was gonna catch the Snitch. Well at least we won, it's definitely worth being hospitalized for the weekend. It's a good excuse not to do homework."
"Yeah, well we have to go down to dinner now," Hope said.
"Okay, bye guys. Thanks for visiting me."
"Anytime," Lily said. "We'll probably visit you tomorrow."
"Okay, well see you tomorrow."
"Bye," we all said.
***
Before we knew it January was over. Soon there would be another quidditch match to see if Ravenclaw or Slytherin would get to the Quidditch final. Gryffindor was already going because of the last game.
"I can't wait till the next quidditch game!" Sirius said.
"Neither can I," I said.
"I can't go," Remus said sadly.
"Why not?" I asked.
"I have to visit my mom that day," he said.
"Get it rescheduled," Sirius said.
"I can't."
"Why not?" I asked.
"I just can't, we planned all the days in advance."
"Is Bernard going?" Sirius asked.
"Probably not."
"Why not?"
"Because he's a moron and doesn't care about mum."
"So can't you just skip one time? Owl her, she'll understand," Sirius said.
"I'm sorry guys, but I'm visiting her okay? There's no point in giving me a hard time about it," he said and ran out of the room.
"Where's he off to?" Sirius wondered.
"It's 10, he can't go outside the common room," Peter said.
"Ill go see if he's down there," I said.
"I'm coming too," Sirius said.
"No, you guys stay here, okay?" I said.
"Fine," Sirius said annoyed. I ran downstairs, Remus wasn't there.
"Where did he go?" I wondered out loud. I ran upstairs and grabbed my invisibility cloak.
"Where are you going?" Sirius asked.
"Remus isn't in the common room. I'm gonna go find him. And stay here!" I ordered. I put the cloak over me and ran quietly down the stairs and out of the common room. I walked around the halls wishing I had the slightest idea where Remus went.
After searching the halls for about a half an hour I was gonna go to see if Remus went back to the common room when I heard...
"...sneaking around the school like that. Detention and 50 points from Gryffindor. Your detention will be with Hagrid on Thursday at 9 P.M. Meet him by his cabin." I caught sight of Filch yelling at Remus in his office. I had to do something to get Remus out of trouble, I went around a corner threw off my cloak and ran into the office.
"Remus was gonna warn you that Peeves was planning on drowning Mrs. Norris. We over heard him earlier. We were looking for you to tell you," I said all that in one breath.
"Is that true Mr. Lupin?" Filch asked. Remus nodded his head.
"Very well, this time you are not in trouble." Filch ran out the door shouting "Peeves!"
"Oh my God, thank you so much," Remus said.
"You're welcome," I said. "Before Filch gets back let's get under my invisibility cloak." I ran out and grabbed it and covered us.
"I wonder what's in all those drawers," I said.
"There's only one way to find out," Remus said. We then started looking though all his drawers.
"Hey, look at this," I said. I took out a book called KWIKSPELL- A Corresponding Course in Beginners Magic.
"What does he have that for?" Remus asked.
"He's a squib. Ya know when your parents are a witch and a wizard but you suck at magic and can't do it," I explained.
"Oh," Remus said and started laughing.
"Hey, check this out," Remus said and handed me a paper.
"Oh my God, Remus! Do you know what you just found?"
"Yeah, I think."
"This is a list of all the secret passages in the entire school!"
"Everyone?"
"Yeah," I said. "Well, at least a lot of them."
"Let's steal it."
"Oh course we're gonna steal it, I couldn't possibly leave it." We took the list and ran out the door with my invisibility cloak on.
"Remus?"
"Yeah."
"Um, I have a feeling that you don't really visit your mom every month," I said.
"What makes you think that?" he asked sounding uncomfortable.
"Lots of things. Please tell me where you go every month. I wont's tell anyone, not even Sirius!"
"But-"
"I saved your butt, Remus please tell me."
"You promise not to tell anyone."
"Yes, now please tell me." I begged.
"Okay, um, I am er, a um-"
"Get on with it," I demanded.
"Okay, I'm a werewolf," he said and turned away from me.
"You are, seriously?"
"Yeah, now you probably hate me."
"Why the hell would I hate you?"
"I dunno but everyone I told has hated me."
"Well I definitely don't hate you."
"Really?"
"Of course. So then why were you mad at Bernard?"
"He told one of his friends what I am."
"That's terrible.
"Yeah, and the whomping willow was planted over the summer for me. Every full moon I have to press a switch that freezes it. Then I go down a long tunnel into an old shack and painfully transform into a big ugly wolf. I hate it!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Isn't there a cure?"
"No, my parents tried everything when I got bitten, but nothing worked."
"I guess we should be getting back to the common room. And don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

Okay that really sucked but will you review anyway??????? Please?????????????????????????????? I'm begging you, just write a couple of words. Tell me if you thought it sucked or if you liked it or what I could do to make it better. Please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
