A Story that Never Ends
Chapter Five- Quidditch Tryouts and Flapjack Pancakes
"So, we're all ready for the tryouts?" James asked as he stood in front of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team of 1977 in the Gryffindor Locker room.
The team consisted of a Beater, Sirius Black, his two fellow Chasers, Lily Evans and Bobby Rowan and his amazing Seeker Kyle Stack. Tonight, they would be looking for two people to fill as Keeper and the other Beater.
"Aye, aye Captain Potter!" Sirius saluted from the front.
James rolled his eyes and led his team out onto the Quidditch Pitch to be met with a good amount Sixth Years, an equal amount of Fifth Years, some Fourth Years, and about three to four Third and Second Years all standing there anxiously, brooms in their hands.
"Apparently no girls chose to tryout." Lily muttered from behind him. It was true; there were absolutely no girls on the Quidditch Pitch at that moment that was there to tryout. Infact, Lily was the only girl who played Quidditch besides two others who played on the Hufflepuff team.
"Welcome!" James greeted the crowd as the team stood in front of them. There were some murmurs of hi's and hello's but not many people dared to speak to The James Potter, however James pretended not to notice. "Now tonight I would like all the people who want to try out for Beater head over with the other Beater Mr. Sirius Black and the Seeker Mr. Kyle Stack!"
Two thirds of the crowd headed off to the other end of the pitch with Sirius and Kyle.
"Now, I'm assuming there are some of you who aren't exactly sure what you want to play, or if you want to be a reserve for the team?" Some people raised their hands at this. "Okay, will you folks please head off with the very talented, and not to mention beautiful Miss. Lily Evans over towards there?" James asked.
"Aw, shut up James." Lily said poking James with her broom as she led a group of about five to another end.
"Okay, and the rest of you are trying out for the best position in the game, Chaser?" James asked and they all nodded. "Great! You'll obviously be working with Mr. Bobby Rowan and myself."
* * * * * "Good, very good." Lily said nodding at the tiny Second Year Boy whose name Lily couldn't remember. Looking across at the other end of the field as a Fourth Year Boy by the name of Chris Page began hitting Bludgers; she spotted James flying around with some other boys passing the Quaffle around. It was amazing how easy he made flying look; almost like it was writing his name. "Lily! Earth to Lily!" A Fourth Year Bryan Williams called. Looking back at her group she found that him and the rest of the group were all looking at her with odd expressions on their faces.
"What?" She called back.
"It's time to start blocking our shots." Bryan called.
"Oh, yeah." Lily said nodding.
* * * * * "So what do we think?" Bobby asked as the five-team members trooped back to the locker room about an hour later.
"Never, ever, play Beater with little Second Years!" Sirius groaned, as he fell onto the bench.
The others left and all sat down around the locker room, parchments and quills out ready to decide.
"Okay, let's start with Sirius and Kyle." James said turning to the two of them.
"Well, from these notes that Sirius took, it seems that someone named Flapjack Pancakes won." Kyle said looking at the parchment oddly.
Everyone laughed and Sirius sat up.
"It's true! I think Flapjack Pancakes did better than any of those stupid kids."
"Sirius! That's so mean." Lily said, frowning at him.
"Well 'tis true Fair Lily."
"Did you find anyone who was suitable enough for a Beater in your group?" James asked, eyes looking worried.
Biting her lip, Lily looked down at her parchment, searching through the list of the boys' names.
"Bryan Williams." Lily announced looking up.
"Alright." James said nodding. "And what year?"
"Fourth." Lily said.
"Woah, a Fourth Year?" Sirius said in surprise, "Well I guess he's got a lot to learn from me then."
"I guess." Lily said, shaking her head laughing.
"As for the Chasers there was this really good kid that Lily sent over to us in the end." James said.
"Who?" Bobby asked.
"Scott Clifford?" James asked, "He's a Sixth Year with Kyle." "'Kay, cool."
"Well that's it then." James said as they all began to gather their belongings. "Erm but could you stay behind for a little bit Lily to talk about Head duties?"
"Sure." Lily said nodding and let the boys go ahead of her.
"I'll meet you in the dormitories Prongs." Sirius called back to James as he exited the room, not waiting for a response. No one took notice to the nickname though because they were all so used to it now that they didn't even care why the two boys had odd nicknames for each other.
"So, what's up?" Lily called as she waited for James who was in the changing room, changing back into regular clothing.
"Well we need to talk to Dumbeldore about that dance that people apparently want to have."
"I think it's more of the older kids that want it than the younger ones." Lily said chuckling.
"Yeah, so Third Years and up?" James asked as he stepped out in school robes.
"Yeah." Lily said nodding. "And the attire?"
"Formal gowns." James said grinning, "I know the girls will love that."
Lily burst out and laughing and nodded.
"You seem to know a lot about girls."
"Well I have gone out with a few, not as many as Sirius, but a few." James said smiling as the two headed back to the castle together.
"I don't think anyone can go out as many people Sirius has." Lily said giggling.
"True, very true."
* * * * * "The Quidditch Positions are posted!" A boy, James recognized as one that he had in his group, yelled as him and everyone else pushed their way up to the bulletin board that morning.
"Apparently the Quidditch Positions were posted." A voice said to his right. Turning, James came face to face with Remus, Peter and Sirius.
"Apparently."
"Can we go to breakfast now?" Sirius whined as they let more boys pass their way up tot he board.
"No! I keep telling you, we're going to be polite and wait for James!" Remus cried.
"PLEASE?" Sirius whined, louder now.
"Why does he want to go so badly?" James asked Peter as Remus and Sirius fought.
"Something about wanting Flapjack Pancakes?" Peter said shrugging, "Not really sure. All I know is that Remus wont let him go without you."
James laughed and then turned to Remus and Sirius. "Just give me a couple minutes. I have to talk to Scott and Bryan and then we can go."
"Fine." Sirius said grumpily as Remus gave him an 'I-told-you-so' look.
* * * * * "Hey Lily." A voice said from beside her. Turning, she saw Bryan Williams walking beside her.
"Hey Bryan, welcome to the team!" Lily said smiling at the Sixth Year.
"Thanks." Bryan said smiling back. "I just wanted to know."
"Know what?" Lily asked as they reached the Great Hall.
"I was wondering, do you want to go to Hogwarts with me this weekend? It's the first weekend of the year and."
Lily looked shocked. The younger boy was shuffling his feet and looking embarrassed. She didn't want to hurt him but honestly she didn't like him like that.
"What if we went as just friends?" Lily asked.
"Oh, um, sure." Bryan said nodding. "That'd be cool."
"Great." Lily said, giving him a big smile. "See you then." And with that she pushed open the doors of the Great Hall and headed over to her friends to eat lunch.
"What took you so long?" Vivian asked as Lily plopped down in front of the two.
"Erm, nothing." Lily said shaking her head and spooning some soup into her bowl.
"Come on, tell us." Gabrielle urged.
"It's nothing."
"Well then, if it's nothing why is it so obviously important?"
"Argh." Lily groaned, "Bryan Williams just asked me out."
"Awww, how cute!" The two girls squealed.
"What'd you say?" Vivian asked.
"To what?" Sirius asked as he and James appeared next to Lily.
"To Bryan Wililams." Gabrielle said filling the two boys in, "He asked Lily out just a second ago."
"The new Beater?" Sirius asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Yes." Lily said. "But I said no, that we should just be friends." "How cute." Vivian cooed.
"Shut it will you?"
"Sour puss."
"Anyway we have a meeting tonight with Dumbeldore if that's okay." James said, interjecting his comment before Lily retaliated.
"Thanks." Lily said, smiling. "Where and when?"
"Here, at eight o'clock." James said, "I'll meet you in the common room at about five of seven and we can head down together?"
"Sure." Lily said smiling, "That'd be nice."
Meanwhile, Sirius, Vivian and Gabrielle all stared at Lily and James as they laughed and joked throughout the rest of lunch. At the end they all realized something.
There was more than a new friendship blossoming before them.
