Chapter 10. End of the term
Lily and James make their way to the Great Hall. They heard the Slytherin and Gryffindor were arguing about the decorations. There were red and green everywhere.
"Oh, I forgot! Gryffindor and Slytherin had the same house points! Five hundred and twelve points!! That means we've drawn for the house cup!" said Clarissa.
"No wonder they are arguing." said Sirius. "I want to argue myself!"
Dumbledore walked in. The chattering stopped. He was not smiling.
"Please, may all Slytherin's Quidditch players come forward."
Malfoy and the other players rose. They had a bad feeling about Dumbledore gravely tone.
Professor Sneddon walked in with a goblet in her hand. She didn't look at all pleased.
"It's a true potion!" whispered Lily, looking at the extra clear liquid. Dumbledore made the Captain sit down and drink it.
"You're sure it's not poison?" asked Sirius, looking disappointed. The whole school was looking closely at Dumbledore and the players. Malfoy lost his smirk and looked a bit horrified.
"Tell me, Mr. Pucey. Did you or your players have anything to do with the injury of Gryffindor's players?" asked the Headmaster.
"Yes."
"Was it you plan or some other's?" asked Dumbledore again.
"No. It was Lucius Malfoy plan. He planned to injure all the important players in Gryffindor so we could win. When we knew Gryffindor had found other's to play, Lucius told us all to wear gold or glittering things to distract the Gryffindor's seeker. But we never thought that was the reason we lose the match." said Pucey in his dull voice.
The whole school was filled with whispering sounds. Everyone knew that Slytherin had something to do with it, but they didn't expect to hear it from any of the Slytherin. Someone even throw some paper at the stunned Slytherin players. Dumbledore called out for silence.
"Well, as the Slytherin had played unfair in the match, they must have some punishment. Fifty mark will be taken from each player. Extra twenty marks from Mr. Malfoy." said Dumbledore.
The whole school was shocked. But then, a storm of cheering came from Gryffindor. Everyone was yelling and shouting. Some danced around and some just laughed insanely.
"Five hundred and twelve minus three hundred and seventy... that's one hundred and fifty two!!!" yelled Lily. "They have even less marks than Hufflepuff!!!"
"Yippee!!!!" shouted James. Sirius and Remus even fire indoor fireworks. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw also join the cheering because most of them hated Slytherin. The Slytherin were shocked. They throw everything they can get their hands on to the players who made them lose the house cup. Malfoy glared at Dumbledore. Dumbledore took no notice and he clapped his hands. Immediately all the decorations turned in to red and gold. The dishes appeared on the table and everyone began to eat and talk at the same time.
"I just love happy endings, don't you?" asked James, looking at Lily. Lily nodded.
******
The next morning, exam results were out. Lily, James and Sirius came out top of the year. Much to Remus' amuse.
"I bet Hogwarts had never got 3 people tied top of the year." said Remus. He was quite happy about his results. He was top in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Snape didn't even get second. One of the Ravenclaw girl got it. So Snape wore scowl everytime when he saw Remus. Felicity and Clarissa passed with good marks, though they said they wouldn't without Lily and their boyfriends' help.
"I wonder if Malfoy is going to stay in first year for the third time..." said James. Unfortunately, Malfoy scraped through and was able to go up to second year.
"I guess he stayed in first year too long and Dumbledore just had to let him go up with us. What a shame...." said Sirius.
Packing was nearly done but the girls lost many of their belongings.
"Oh, where's my slippers??" yelled Clarissa.
"Where did these socks come from?? I bet it's yours, Iris!!!"
"Geez, thanks. I was just wondering where did I put them."
"Girls, please me quiet! I'm trying to read!!" That was Lily of course.
"I can't believe that you finished your packing so soon!!" said Felicity. "Come and help me!"
"Ok." said Lily and hopped off her seat. "Felicity, Packio!" All Felicity's things flew out from every direction and and was neatly packing themselves in her bag.
"Oh Lily, I can't believe you didn't teach us this spell in the first place!!!" said Felicity. "I'll tell the others. Ok??" Lily nodded and the girls went to teach their classmates.
"First say your name and then Packio! If there is two of you with the same name, cry out you whole name out!!! Don't shout Packio first, if not you will pack yourself up!!" said Lily.
"Thanks Lily." said the girls. Lily smiled and continue reading.
Notes were also handed out to students.
"No Magic over holidays?" yelled James and Sirius. "How can we survive??"
"Quiet guys!" said Clarissa. "Professor Sneddon is staring at us!!!" Though the professor can no longer deduct points from them, they didn't want to be in her bad books.
They got on their train and headed to King's Cross Station. James whispered something in Sirius' ears and he grinned.
"Hungry, anyone? Come and help me choose something to eat, Felicity. Remus, want to come?" asked Sirius, then winked at Remus. Remus got the message.
"I'll go with you, Coming, Clarissa?"
"Yup."
"I going coming too!!" said Peter and the five went out of they compartment. Lily and James were left alone. Lily looked out of the window, admiring the view.
"Er, Lily?" said James, sitting next to her.
"Yes?" asked Lily.
"Hmm... it's been a long time... and I hope... you would.. forgive me." said James softly. Lily nodded, not guessing what was next.
"Hmm.... would you be my girlfriend?" asked James. Lily smiled and decided to play James.
"But you have better choices, Hannah is very pretty too, you know...." said Lily, smiling. "And there is always Zoe around..."
"Don't play me now, Lily!" moaned James, a bit afraid Lily really won't agree to be his girlfriend.
"Why?"
"Because.... I need you." said James, and threw his arms around her. Lily blushed a bit.
"It hurts me to think that you're still not mine." muttered James.
"Then promise me you wouldn't say I'm ugly again." said Lily.
"How can I say you're ugly when you're not? Then, is it okay now?" asked James.
"Yes." said Lily, hugging him.
"Yay for James!!!" shouted the five outside.
"You guys have listened!" said Lily, blushing furiously.
"Of course we have! How can't we?" said Sirius and Felicity, laughing.
"I thought you were going to ask Lily to marry you!!" laughed Remus.
"Why you say need instead?" asked Clarissa. James grinned.
"Well, everybody could say 'I love you' whenever you want. 'I need you' is what I say to Lily and Lily only." said James, proudly.
"Hey!' said Remus, "Snape's just in the next compartment! Why don't we give him a lovely goodbye?"
"Of course!" said James. He took Lily's hand and ran out to play one last prank (this year!) to Snape.
"See ya!" said James to the girls and Lily hugged him.
"Remember to ask if it is okay for us to stay at your place!!"
"You too!"
"Lily!! Over here!" called a voice.
"Mom!!! Bye boys, bye Clarissa and Felicity. Coming Mom!!!" shouted Lily. She ran to her mother and hugged her.
"Mom, I have a wonderful school year!!! I can't wait to tell you! I played Quidditch even first years aren't allowed to play. Oh, I was the Chaser..." said Lily, non stoppable.
Her mother just smiled and they headed for her car.
The end.
Second year of Lily Evans --- The chaser.
There was an American boy coming to Hogwarts for a year and was the same year as Lily's. That boy vowed to chase all the girls in the year, no matter which house or how the girl looked. The next one was... Lily.
