Chapter 10: The Quidditch Match
A/N: Well, When Your Eyes Say It is BACK (aren't you SO excited?)! It's been gone for over a month (sighs). I have tried to make the chapters longer and more detailed, starting with chapter ten. If you might remember, I said Dakota was the Gryffindor Seeker (in, er, chapter five, I believe). Well, now, he is Keeper/Captain, OK? Enjoy! (BTW, Dragon Breath and the Mudblood is doing pretty well. . .thank you very much. . .)
Lorelei: Ah, I'm so glad you have reviewed my story! Yay! Lol. Well, anyway, I've added more detail! YAY!
InstyleHPLover: Er, interesting reviews. . .
HPGirl12: Aww, thanks. Lol.
All other Reviewers: Y'all are so great for reviewing my story!
Disclaimer: Ugh, do I really need to put the disclaimer up? I didn't think so. From now on, there will be no disclaimer (I know you all probably ignore it anyway).

Lily woke up to an early start the next morning. Lily's eyes were red and puffy. She had cried herself to sleep the night before. Ever since first year, Lily had had the biggest crush on James. She had been close to admitting it in 3rd and 4th year, but he had a girlfriend both times.
Lily thought James had liked her too. He had constantly flirted with her and always made her smile. But, unlike Lily, James was the badboy (oh, and she isn't a boy. . .so, yeah) that every girl chased after. He was charming, smart (well, at Transfiguration, at least), and not to mention, hot as hell. Lily bit her lip, thinking about the situation she was in. What would happen if James never liked her again? If he did like her? Lily just didn't know.
She remembered that a Quidditch match would be in the evening, after dinner. It would be Gryffindor versus Slytherin. Lily particularly enjoyed Quidditch matches, especially ever since she started dating Dakota, who was the Keeper and Captain for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Lily walked out of the girls' dormitories and walked into the Gryffindor Common Room. It was completely deserted and silent, except for the occasional meow from Giselle, Shawna's fluffy white cat. She walked to Giselle and gently stroked her white fur. Lily looked out the window. The sun was partly out, but darkness entombed the Common Room.
"Funny seeing you out here," said a voice. Lily turned around. It was James, his raven hair messy and his glasses disheveled.
"Funny seeing you here too," Lily said simply, avoiding his chocolate brown eyes. James slowly walked over to her. "What do you want?" Lily's voice seemed hoarse every time she was near James.
"Damn it, Lily. Can't you see?" James said, looking into Lily's emerald green eyes. Lily shook her head.
"No, I can't, James! You are the most confusing person I KNOW! I bet you never knew I've always had the biggest crush on you. Ever since you defended me against Malfoy in first year, I've been crazy about you! But, no, you chased every girl, except for ME. I have regretted every day since the winter ba-" James put his finger to her lips. He held her chin with his fingers.
"I lo-" he began, but he was interrupted by Sirius, coughing, almost hacking his brains out.
"Hmm, looks like I interrupted something," said Sirius, smiling slightly, looking between them.
"No, it was nothing," said Lily said hastily. "I have to go now, Sirius. . .James." Lily grabbed her book bag and quickly walked out of the Common Room, frowning.

"Today, we will be learning about the Mandrake Restorative Draught. It can be used to curse those who have been Petrified and people who have been cursed," said Professor Whiteraven (A/N: I copied this from a girl that I RPG with. I give all rights to her!), the Potions teacher.
"Ooh, fun," Lily said sarcastically.
"Yeah, 'cause you know, I'll just get Petrified and I'll immediately whip up a Mandrake Restorative Draught," Dakota replied, smiling slightly. Lily gave him a big grin.
"Now class, I've cut you all Mandrake, or Mandragora (whatever you prefer) leaves. So, take the leaves and cut them into equal pieces," said Professor Whiteraven. Lily took her knife and started slicing her Mandrake leaves.
"Um, Dakota?" said Lily, biting her lip.
"Yeah, Lils?" said Dakota, looking into her eyes. Lily looked over at James and saw him staring at the two of them.
"Er, d'you want to go out with me on Friday?" Lily asked, curiously. She glanced at James.
"Yeah, sure," Dakota said, smiling. "Where?"
"Hmm, how about a picnic by the lake? We can watching the Giant Squid," Lily said, smiling wildly. Lily looked over at James. He was glaring at them.
~*~
"I can't BELIEVE her! I almost express my feelings AGAIN and she asks him out right in front of me!" James exclaimed furiously.
"Tough luck. Maybe you're just not meant to be," said Sirius.
"But we ARE. I can just feel it," James said, biting his lip.
"There are plenty of other hot girls who would love to go out with you," Peter said, with a jealous voice.
"You're all so naïve," said Remus, looking up from his book.
"Er, what does naïve mean again?" Peter asked, very confused. They all rolled their eyes, except Peter, who was still very confused.
~*~
"Are you all ready?" asked Madam Brenn, the Flying teacher/Quidditch referee. They all nodded anxiously.
"OK, team. Let's go!" exclaimed Dakota.
"Yeah, whatever, Wood," James muttered. They all mounted their brooms and flew into the Quidditch Pitch.
"And in flies the Gryffindor Quidditch team! The three awesome Chasers are Molly Parker, Gwen March, and Kristi Hansen. The two superb Beaters are Sirius Black and Patrick Patil. The great Keeper and Quidditch captain, Dakota Wood. And, the excellent Seeker is James Potter!" exclaimed Robert Johnson. Cheers erupted from the Gryffindor side while the Slytherin side was booing.
"And, on the Slytherin team, Amber Brown, Brandon Kensington, and Samantha Blair are the Chasers, Jimmy Zabini and Lucius Malfoy are the beaters, John Flint is the captain and keeper and the Seeker is none other than Ben Knowings," Robert said blandly.
"Show more enthusiasm," Professor McGonagall said, obviously not meaning it.
"AND, the Quaffle is taken by March of Gryffindor!" exclaimed Johnson. "Oh, now Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Blair shoots the Quaffle into the Gryffindor hoops and-ah! Hansen of Gryffindor takes possession of the Quaffle! Hmm. . .oh yeah! Kristi! We have a date on Saturday, remem-"
"JOHNSON! Get back with the commentary!" exclaimed Professor McGonagall.
"Well, anyway, GRYFFINDOR SCORES! 10-0 to Gryffindor!" There was an immediate outbreak of cheers from the Gryffindor side.
Meanwhile. . .
"Hey! Sirius! Come over here!" James whispered fiercely.
"WHAT!? We're in a Quidditch match, you know! This isn't the time to be chatting!" Sirius replied back.
"Give me your club for a second," James said hastily.
"Why??" Sirius asked, very confused.
"Ugh, just GIVE me it!" James replied back. Sirius handed James his club. A Bludger was coming right at James. He swung at it, making it pelt through the air, aiming for Dakota Wood. Wood noticed this but was too late to react. The Bludger immediately hit his stomach. . .

A/N: Heh, heh, heh. Lol, well, anyway, I don't usually leave cliffhangers (I suppose this isn't quite one) but I thought I would. Anyway, please review ASAP!
