Alicorn: OK, I'm doing a Quidditch-ish thingy. It's not only Quidditch, in fact I don't even know if it'll be very much Quidditch so-
Calicat: (Whacks Alicorn) She's just going to start the *%#& chapter.
Alicorn: Yeesh! I should never have allowed the cartoon swearing last chapter.
Calicat: Whatever. Start the DISCLAIMER.

Recap
Maeghan was tired, she went straight up to her dorms afterward, and she then checked what was on the Message Board ... Quidditch Tryouts- Tomorrow.
She fainted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Yay! Quidditch Tryouts!" shouted James. Everyone just smiled and nodded. The Potters were legendary for their Quidditch prowess, and this was the first time that there had been Quidditch tryouts since first year, because the team hadn't had any members graduate for a while. James was hoping to be a Chaser. Sirius and Maeghan were also trying out, but they didn't know which parts they were going to have.
"Ariella, are you SURE that you don't want to try out?" asked Maeghan.
"Absolutely. I don't want to be falling from 500 feet up in the air with nothing between me and the ground but a feeble stick that's an inch wide."
"You're a phoenix. When you fly there ISN'T anything between you and the ground."
"Flying isn't dangerous. CRASHING is dangerous. A phoenix doesn't crash. Do you want to argue all day, or just get to the tryouts?"
"You're coming?"
"DUH! I mean think about it. Lots of boys from Hogwarts. Lots of exercise. Add them together."
"Umm, sweaty stinky boys from Hogwarts?"
"No, sweaty HOT boys from Hogwarts, with me taking moving pictures!"
"You're sick. Aren't you Sirius' girlfriend?"
"Maeghan, I've been 'with' him for the last 2 months and he still hasn't asked me out on a date. I'm still single. I mean, if he hasn't asked me out, we're not dating, so we're not boyfriend-girlfriend."
"Okay."
"Anyways, if Sirius gets jealous I might get a date..."
"Oh."
"And if he doesn't, I'll be able to see which boys are the cutest."
"Yeesh. And you say I'M insane."
"Takes one to know one dear."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The group got onto the field. Remus, Ari and Lily were sitting in the boxes, watching the tryouts. Remus wasn't trying out because the games might come at 'that time of the month' and if the moon came out, as it very well could, then his disguise would be toast.
"All right everyone! I'm Fredrick Wood, and I'm the Gryffindor Quidditch captain. I'll be testing ya to see if any of you can fill the empty spots on the team! We need: a Chaser, a Keeper, and a Beater … WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT REEVES HAS QUIT! ARGH! Looks like we'll be needing a Seeker too. Well, get out your brooms, and let's get to it. Oh! And one thing! Hufflepuff is going to be using the other part of the field, so stay out of it!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the end of it all, the group went back to the common rooms, and Ariella was really irking Sirius, but not with insults. She was talking with Maeghan and Lily a little away and in front of the boys, but could JUST be heard
"Oh my GOD! Doug Lasley was so SEXY when he did that dive. I mean seriously, he's only a year older than me, which is fine, and he's like, got the CUTEST grey eyes. He reminds me of a falcon or something."
Maeghan was also trying to egg Remus on.
"Yeah. But I think that John Watson has the cutest butt. I mean I DID get a better view, since I could move my broom."
"I was the only one with a camera though. Too bad Lasley is dating. Hmm. D'ya think that Riley would go out with me if I asked? How about if I tripped and 'fell' into him just before?"
The conversation continued as the girls kept walking. Lily had joined in too, and the boys were steaming.
"Do you think they're serious?" James asked.
"I don't know, but I don't want to lose Maeghan." Said Remus, and he ran towards to girls. The other boys watched as Remus muttered something to Maeghan, turning a distinct crimson. There was a squeal from Maeghan as she hugged Remus hard, and they both walked off down the hall as the other girls watched, sighing. Remus had his arm around Maeghan's shoulder, and she had her arm around his waist.
"DAMN! I wish that I could do that with Lily!" muttered James.
"I couldn't ask Ariella on a date. What if I screwed up? What if she said no? I mean, she was the one who started that whole conversation!" Sirius was starting to get hysterical, and James forgot his misery, and grabbed his friend, to drag him into their dorm room.
A bucket of water solved the immediate problem.

Alicorn: So, how is it? I mean, it gets a little, er, uncomfortable, but I think that it's good. Do y'all think that Sirius and James should run for their partners, or should they be hesitant and lose 'em for a while? REVIEW!
