Thank you! Your review meant TONS!
"Just look at him James. I mean his hair wasn't like that when we went to bed was it? And why the heck is he smiling?" Sirus stood looking down at one of his best friends who lay asleep arms crossed and smiling.
"Did he try to do one of those cut jobs in the night after he discovered that perhaps different hair might get him a better attention with girls?" As Peter asked he stood from the floor and was too shocked at the sight that met his eyes to even notice the chilling glares Sirus and James were sending him.
Remus opened one eye and was shocked to see his three friends standing over him examining him. 'God no, she must have warned them! She probably told them all about it.' Remus sat up quickly looking fearfully at each one of them.
"Nice hair," Sirus laughed at his friend's sudden confusion. Then, completely relieved, he ran a quick hand through it.
"Thanks. Um… is that all you guys were watching me because of." As they nodded, Remus smiled and stood in his plaid boxers and tank shirt. He bounced off his bed and entered the 3rd year's bathroom to get a better look at it. He smiled at his reflection and began to brush his now even sharper teeth.
"Yo Remus, outa curiosity, who did cut your hair?" James walked in to the bathroom to brush his teeth as well, only in his boxers of red and gold with Quidditch players embroidered onto them.
"Kendra, why," Remus responded as he spit into the sink, hoping that his voice did not show anything extra.
"When? I mean it still looked long when I went to sleep," Sirus cried out entering in boxers with monkeys on them.
James and Remus both laughed and pointed.
"What? The girls dig them!" This sent Remus and James into further laughter.
"Sirus, please! I know for a fact that you haven't snuck out in those or any of your other underwear for that matter." James watched as Sirus began to blush.
Finally they got ready to go down to breakfast. As they exited the common room they nearly bumped into Kendra. She stood in the hallway.
"A good game to you James, and may nothing interfere with it."
They walked a ways before whispering to one another.
"What in Merlin's name was that about," Sirus asked. James shook his head and Peter looked stumped. Remus laughed, remembering the night before when she had told him of the Slythern's plans to sabotage the game.
"Well spit it out Remus! Not everybody can read minds." Sirus had a slight irritation to his voice.
"The Slytherns were suppose to try and ruin your game, but Kendra told me that she had already stopped that but she wouldn't tell me what she did."
They walked to breakfast trying to guess some of the hideous things that the rival house might try and what Kendra could possibly do to stop them. Sirus thought that the Slytherns would glue all the brooms together. Peter thought that the Slytherns had cast spells all over the field that would make the Gryffndor's brooms go out of control.
They entered the great hall and saw Kendra, Lilly, Kassandra, and the Ravenclaw chaser Skye chatting eagerly with one another. James looked worried.
"You don't think they've sided against us now, do you?"
Remus smiled and shook his head. Lilly, though friends with people in several houses, was strongly Gryffindor supportive.
Breakfast ended and as James and the rest of the team headed to prepare, the whole school headed to the field. Within moments the loud strong voice of Frank Longbottom could be heard introducing the teams as the got on their brooms. Several loud shrieks were heard as James' name was called. Lilly laughed at the girls ogling over him and they quickly turned red and stopped instead sending her death looks.
Meanwhile a suspicious group of Slytherns circled the corners of the field. Sirus pointed them out to Remus. They watched as one raised their wand pointing it at the red and gold keeper. Sirus stood raising his own wand back but Remus grabbed a hand full of his robes and pushed him down on the seats.
"Just wait. Let's see if Kendra's plan worked." An overjoyed Kendra heard this from a couple seats away where her hands struggled to hold to marble looking spheres apart. A large beam of light bounced between them and tried to suck them together like magnets. She flashed her eyes back to where the leading Slythern was casting his spell.
Quickly a flash of green light erupted from his wand and spiraled toward the field. Something like a gigantic force field around the field appeared glowing bright blue for a moment then, like a spark of electricity, it bounced the spell back at the unsuspecting Slythern blasting him with whatever he had just sent back in the face.
Everyone stopped. Madame Hooch, the brand new flying teacher and Quidditch referee, blew a long whistle sending all players to the ground. A very unhappy Professor McGonagall began to lecture the Slytherns and deduct points. All the while Sirus, Lilly, Kassandra and Remus didn't notice as Dumbledore approached them from behind.
"Yes Headmaster?" Without even needing to turn around Kendra felt his presence. Everyone else jumped and spun around.
"Quite a display you put on, Kendra. I don't believe you will need the spell shield for the rest of the game however. Something tells me that this was the first game you did this for and you're not usually this protective of the team." Dumbledore's voice was filled with warmth as he looked down at the unusual way of stopping the spell Kendra had performed. She began to tuck the marble like objects into her velvet draw string bag and she peered up into his laughter filled bottle blue eyes.
"I had heard a rumor that perhaps a few spells were to bias the games outcome. You are right though. I doubt the rest of the game will be hurt by the poor sportsmanship of another house."
"As long as I know that much, you may watch the game but meet me afterwards in my office."
"Yes Headmaster." She sat back down and Dumbledore strode off toward the people being punished. "What?" The eyes of her classmates were engulfing her.
"Wh-what in the name of Godric was that," Sirus finally stuttered out.
"A spellbound temporary reflective force-field," Kendra answered, tying the drawstring bag around her waist.
"Slower, and in English this time," Peter grumbled.
"A mirror like force surrounding the field to keep the outsiders from being able to cast spells on the inhabitants with out having it simply reflected back at them." Kendra laid her head back in the shocked lap of Remus. He flinched but relaxed immediately blushing under the stares of his friends. He smiled as a Hufflepuff who had been scooting her way closer to him throughout the match now slinked off, frowning.
"I told ya I could handle it." She smirked as Sirus and Remus politely applauded.
"Perhaps you can warn the Slytherns not to try it again… if you catch my drift…" Lilly curtly called, an evil grin appearing on her face.
"Yes, I had almost forgotten our encore." Kassandra caught on and let out a cruel smile and laugh.
"Forgive me for asking but will we be allowed to join in this escapade?" Sirus gave a heart melting smile to the girls and Remus simply shook his head and snickered.
"Perhaps…" Kassandra looked him up and down as if sizing him up for the job. Sirus grinned and began to flex his muscles playfully. "What do you think Ken? I mean it's your performance we are encoring."
"I guess, a few extra distractions wouldn't hurt. Why not, I think James wouldn't miss the chance.. Oh look there's the snitch." The whole seating of Gryffindors who had been trying to listen in looked up quickly to search the sky in the direction Kendra had pointed. She stood up and then sat down on Remus' lap, pulling her face so close to his that he could feel her breath on his neck. She grabbed up his hand and then pointing with both of their fingers she directed his sight to it. He grinned as he spotted the golden blur buzzing around the Slythern goal posts while the others squinted while grunting complaints of dismal vision.
"I see it!" he cried grandly moving several of the searching eyes on to himself. Just then James had caught sight of it himself and sent his broom hurtling toward the ground neck and neck with the Slythern seeker. Rebelliously he flipped himself to the underside of the broom causing the Slythern to glance over nervously and loose sight of the Snitch completely while James raised one hand and effortlessly caught the small winged ball. The crowd burst into applause and he whooped loudly. After a couple of victory laps he shocked everyone by slowly lowering his broom to the Gryffindor stand and extending his hand to an utterly surprised Lilly Evans.
"Lilly, will you be my girlfriend?"
A.N. Cliffie! Review and find out if she's gonna say yes or embaress him infront of the entire school!
