Sorry, sorry… forgot to type up the last bit then I went away and it got confusing…. Anyway, it felt good to write this chapter, finally!
Chapter Twenty One
Quidditch
They stumbled into a bright light of a pitch.
Not just any pitch, a Quidditch pitch.
James and Sirius looked at each other, delighted. "QUIDDITCH!" They yelled together and bounded onto the field. Lily followed after them and the rest followed.
"I guess we have to win a Quidditch game!" James said with a grin.
"We only have six people." Lily pointed out. James's smile fell a little, but a boy walked up to them.
"Hello. I'm Wood, I'll be your keeper for you." He said. "Go get your brooms and choose your positions."
James hurried over to the brooms and turned to the group. "I'll be a chaser." He announced.
Sirius picked up a bat and a broom. "Beater for me."
"Who's going to be the other beater?" Lily asked, looking nervous.
"I will be." Arabella said, picking up the bat and broom.
Lily was about to offer to be a chaser, but Karrie and Remus said they would be.
"I guess I'm seeker then." Lily said, slightly nervous. She looked at the broom and said "Up!" the broom came into her hand, surprising her slightly.
They headed on to the pitch and mounted their brooms. A referee stepped onto the field and blew his whistle.
Lily pushed off and flew higher then the rest of the group, as she had seen Charlie Weasley do it.
Lily looked down and watched as James took the quaffle down the field, passed to Remus, who threw it through one of the goal posts.
They had scored.
Lily began to look for the snitch when a voice said beside her. "You're a freak Lily!" Turning in surprise Lily saw her sister riding the broom.
She blinked and rubbed her eyes, but Petunia persisted in existing on the broom. But Petunia wouldn't be caught anywhere near something like this.
"What are you doing here Petunia?" Lily hissed.
"Oy! Lily look for the snitch!" James yelled up at her as he scored again.
"Yeah Lily, look for the snitch!" Petunia jeered. "Is that your boyfriend? I'll bet he's a freak."
Lily looked down, trying to ignore her sister's image. A glimmer of gold and Lily dived. The speed of her dive scared her slightly, but suddenly she pulled up sharp as she realized it was merely Sirius's watch. She ducked as a bludger came at her. She saw Petunia diving and raced after her sister.
WHAM!
She crashed into the ground, she heard the sound of something cracking and she looked down at her arm. It was fine, she moved her fingers and realized her index finger was broken. She jumped on her broom again, waving her friends away and flying up to join her sister.
"Fell for it, did you? You are a freak!" Petunia flew to her side of the field and cackled.
Lily continued to look at the ground, trying to ignore the jeers of her sister.
A buldger came pelting towards her and Lily ducked as Arabella came flying up to knock it towards Petunia.
"Bell do you see a blonde girl on that broom?" Lily asked quickly before Arabella had to fly away.
"No I see my brother." Arabella said, batting the bludger towards the seeker.
"Oh." Lily sighed a little. She wasn't going crazy.
"You okay, Lily?" Arabella asked, beginning to fly down. "That hit on the ground was really hard."
"Yeah. I'm fine." Lily called after her.
Petunia went into a dive and Lily saw the snitch. She drove, her broom at a right angle to the ground.
The snitch was there, glittering, and Lily knew suddenly that she wouldn't be able to get it. She put on a brust of speed and grabbed Petunia's broom.
It stopped her long enough to make the snitch disappear. "What's the score Sirius?" Lily yelled as she flew up above the action.
"150 to 150." Sirius yelled after, batting the large black ball away from him.
"Wish—" But Lily didn't finish the thought as she dived. She had seen the snitch, she was sure of it.
She began to pick up speed but a bludger came out of no where and hit her in the stomach.
Lily felt her grasp failing as she fell. The drop looked rather far down, but Lily's mind wasn't comprehending it. She felt light headed and slightly hungry. Her eyes fluttered slightly as she stared at the swiftly approaching ground and groaned.
WHAM!
And Lily knew no more.
"You're a freak. Both you and your Potter boy. I won't come to your wedding you freak!" the voice belonged to Petunia, Lily knew it, but the black was swallowing the image of her sister.
"Lily?" a voice called. She thought it was her father's.
"MUM!" A voice yelled, "NO MUM NO!"
"Lily!" it was a voice like James's. Lily liked James's voice.
"Lily wake up! please!" it sounded like her mother.
"Stand aside girl- stand aside-"
"No not Harry! Please not Harry!" it was her own voice. And then the flash of green light covered the darkness and Lily felt her eyes opening.
The smell of grass and blood reached her nose as she looked down into the grass. Something fluttered in her hand
It was the snitch.
