1 Chapter 24- Gryffindor Vs. Ravenclaw
1.1 The teachers had a hard time getting the houses from one nationality back to British. It took a month but they did it. The teachers had to speak the separate languages for each house. Tara and James finally got into the Spanish mood too. Nobody new why that happened so nobody was punished.
The first game of the Quiddich season was almost there. The Gryffindor Quiddich team was the best they had ever been since Harry Potter was in school. Katie, the captain, was walking around the school like she had won the cup all herself. The team members had to hit her to stop.
The game was coming closer and Tara was getting nervous. She had sent a owl to her mum telling her about her making the team a week before…but still no answer. Could something be wrong. 'No, mum can handle herself.' Tara thought to herself.
It was the morning of the Quiddich game. James came bounding into the girls dorms already in his robes, jumping on Tara's bed and frantically shaking her to wake up.
"Get off."
"You have to wake up now!"
"JAMES, I'M AWAKE, GET OFF OF ME."
"WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP AND GET YOUR OWN ROOM!" yelled Amber.
Mumbling could be heard from Tiffany's bed. "I want to get a room with James." She pouted.
"What was that, Finny?" asked Tara in a motherly tone.
"Nothing."
"I'm sure you said something, Finny dear."
"STOP CALLING ME FINNY."
"Then stop being a --"
"TARA! NO!" said Amber.
"Sorry."
"I'm leaving!" said Tiffany
Tara had forgot that James was sitting on her bed staring at her.
"What are you looking at?" said Tara.
"You."
"I said GET A ROOM." Yelled Amber
"We like this one, thanks." Said James.
"Tara and James, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first come-"
"Amber, shut up!" laughed Tara
"Are we too young still?" Asked James at the same time.
"YES!"
"Pllleeeease, make an exception for Shnookums."
"I'll consider it just not right now. My liking for you is going lower by the second." And with that, all you saw was a blur that was James running out of the dorm.
"When he asks you and you decline, I'll kill you. You're perfect. Opposites attract. Malfoy and Potter. James and Tara. Enemies become friends."
"I get the idea. I'm gonna leave now."
The Gryffindor team was out on the field with the Ravenclaws and the game was about to begin. Tara was going over all the tactics she was practicing for the past while. Madam Hooch threw the Quaffle up and the game begun.
"Ok, first game of the season!" said the commentator Paul Brown, a 4th year Gryffindor. "Gryffindor in possession. Tara passes to Kerri passes to Mark passes to Kerri passes to Tara…TARA SCORES!!! Watch for that bludger!"
A bludger was zooming towards Tara. Hayden came after and smashed in the Ravenclaw captain, Kristy Grosse.
An hour into the game, there was no sight of the snitch. James did a few Wronski Feints to keep the Ravenclaw seeker, Zack Miles, on his toes.
Fifteen minutes later, James at a look on his face of success. He was steeply diving at something on the ground. Tara looked at what she was doing, she saw a glint of gold hovering over the grass. Zack thought nothing of it, he thought he was doing another Feint so he didn't bother diving, until last minute that is. Zack raced down but when he was no where near the ground, James had pulled out of the dive and had the snitch in his hand. Katie looked like she won a million dollars and Kristy looked, at Paul lovingly and p-oed at the same time.
The Gryffindor team ran to the change rooms and started to celebrate their win. Whoever wins the Hufflepuff and Slytherin game, goes against Gryffindor.
There was a small party in the common room, including the team and some of their friends. James was laughing all night, his hand still on the snitch. Katie tried to pry it out of his hands but it was no use.
It was nearing 11:00 and Tara was starting to doze off beside James on one of the couches. James put his arm around her as she nodded off into dreamland on his shoulder. He had a smug look on his face.
Tara was still sleeping on James shoulder when the common room was empty. He started to whisper a song in her ear.
"There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
I thought I might get
One more chance
What would you
Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
So what would you
Think of me now
So lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that
now I'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
And if you were
With me tonight
I'd sing to you just
One more time
A song for a heart so big
god wouldn't let it live
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads
The sleepless go
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in"
While James was singing he started to sing himself to sleep. He rested his head on the back of the couch. Just as he dozed off he thought of an idea!
"Tara…Tara." He said to make sure she was sleeping. There was no answer so he continued. "James Potter is going to ask you to be his girlfriend. You're going to say yes, cause you love James."
"And James is going to not ever get a me as girlfriend if he doesn't stop leaving me along." Said Tara turning up so she could see James' face."
"Dang, you're supposed to be asleep." Whined James.
"You're going to keep asking me till you get me aren't you?" she asked.
"Errr…"
"Ask me when were older, I'm going back to sleep."
"Ummm…" was all James could say. His arm was still wrapped around her and he was asleep and his arm was stuck. 'This is awkward' he thought.
He decided just to stay put and sleep there until she woke up. Yes, he would get an earful from Chester and Amber but it wasn't his fault.
