Chapter Nine: Gryffindor vs. Slytherin: Part II
Harry urged his broom to go a little further, but Draco did the same. The snitch seemed closer to Harry so Harry reached his hand out....
~*~*~*~*~
Ginny held her breath, as did the rest of the Gryffindor crowd. Elektra leaned forward and her jaw dropped. There was a silver stag coming out of the Forbidden Forest.
"Dad." She said quietly.
~*~*~*~*~
Harry saw the stag too and that gave him hope. He saw Draco was still next to him and decided to catch it. He reached his hand out farther and.... (I no im doin' a lot of that! Lol)
~*~*~*~*~
The teachers box was a different story.
"Minerva, I bet you 5 Knuts that Harry catches it just because he saw that stag." Sirius said.
"Sirius I would bet you 100 galleons that Harry catches it. But we all know he will, even if he didn't see the stag. BUT I will bet you the 5 Knuts that Harry catches it because he didn't see the stag." McGonagall said. (Who would've known Minerva McGonagall, the strictest teacher in Hogwarts, took bets with Sirius Black.)
"Severus, I bet you 5 Knuts that Harry catches the snitch." Sirius said, turning to Snape.
"Black, don't waste my time." Snape drawled. Suddenly James Potter was in the teachers box.
"James!" Sirius said.
"Hey Professors. Why not take the bet Sni---- Snape?" James said.
"Because, I'm sure Draco has practice over the summer and will catch it." Snape replied. James smiled.
"Yea, but Draco's not a Potter. Potters do not miss snitches, minus the game when Harry fell off from the bludger, but that was because of the Malfoys' house-elf." He said, but turned away to watch the end of the game.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry reached a tiny bit further and Draco reached his hand out.
'Wait a second I'm on a Firebolt; he's on a Nimbus 2001. I can go faster and the snitch is about 4 feet ahead of us.' Harry thought and moved his broom farther and Malfoy pushed farther but couldn't catch up. Harry reached his hand out and.
"HARRY POTTER HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS!" Harry zoomed around on his broom and settled on the ground and then people bombarded him. Elektra was on his back, and everyone else was slapping him high fives and Ginny was missing.
"Get off Lek, I got some people to talk to." Harry said.
"You're no fun." She whined.
"I know." Harry said. He walked away from the crowd and saw Ginny standing alone, wait she was not alone.
"Dad! Sirius! Gin! Dad, what are you doing here?" Harry exclaimed.
"What I can't come and watch a few games?" James asked. Harry had an arm around Ginny and shrugged.
"I guess that is ok." He said.
"Harry, did you see your father?" Sirius asked.
"Well, uh let me think about that. He is standing right in front of me so I guess so." Harry replied.
"No when he was a... stag." Sirius said, whispering the last word.
"Oh yea, I did. Why?" Harry said.
"Is that what made you catch the snitch?" Sirius asked excitedly.
"Um. well I felt like Dad was there and I guess I was right. It was like we were at home and he was helping me." Harry said. Sirius' face lit up like it was Christmas.
"Oh Minerva!" he yelled. Sirius walked away and Dumbledore came by.
"Ah, congratulations Harry. James can I have a word?" he said. James nodded.
"See you later buddy." He said Elektra walked up.
"Was that Dad?" she asked.
"Yea. He'll be back though." Harry replied.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
James and Dumbledore walked up to the Headmaster's office. They sat down and Dumbledore stared at James.
"What bad news do you bestow on me today Albus?" James asked.
"Voldemort has been reported in Paris." Dumbledore said.
"That is in France, we're in England. He wouldn't move that fast to Hogwarts. Harry and Elektra are still safe." James said.
"I know, but I have a proposition to give. I would like you and Lily to come and stay at Hogwarts. We could fix a room for you two. If something was to happen to Elektra and Harry then we won't have to wait for you and waste time in getting them back. If something happens then you are at a close reach. Besides it will be for your own safety." Dumbledore said.
"Ok. I was not expecting that. I'll talk to Lily. She'll most likely agree." James mumbled.
"Ok. James will you like to stay for dinner?" Dumbledore asked. James got an idea.
"Albus, could I have a small celebration for Harry. You know, catching the snitch on the first game. I promise it wouldn't get out of hand." He said.
"Go ahead. I will send house-elves up to Gryffindor Tower for food and beverages." Dumbledore said.
"Oh and another thing. Sirius. Knowing Gryffindors I will need another hand. Can he help me?" James asked. Dumbledore nodded. James smiled and walked out.
"SCORE!" he exclaimed. He felt like he was back in school again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry, Ginny, Elektra, Ron, and Hermione were coming out of the lockers when something or someone stopped them.
"Did you hear that?" Hermione asked.
"Hear what?" Ginny asked.
"I don't know but there is something or someone in the forest." Hermione replied. They heard a loud bang.
"Well, I don't want to stick around to find out who this creep is." Harry whispered.
"Harry, I'm scared." Elektra said.
"Lek grab my hand and Gin and Mione take Ron's." Harry murmured.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Cause if this is Voldemort he only wants me and Elektra. And I don't want the three of you possibly getting hurt if you stick around." Harry whispered.
"Why would we be Voldemort?" a new voice whispered. The five Gryffindors jumped and turned around.
"Sirius! Dad!" Elektra exclaimed. She grabbed on to her father when Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"Why don't I get attention anymore?" he asked. As if on cue Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione jumped on Sirius.
"That's better." He said, from under all the weight of the teenagers.
"Why did you all jump when we came?" James asked.
"You weren't the one making those noises in the forest?" Ron asked. Sirius shook his head.
"Well there is something in there, Dad!" Elektra screamed in her father's ear.
"Lek, do me a favor." James said. Elektra nodded. James pulled her close as if to whisper it.
"DON'T YELL IN MY EAR!" he yelled.
"Oww!" Elektra exclaimed.
"Yea. Now you know how it feels. If it makes you guys feel better me and Sirius will go check the forest for signs of ET." James said. Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"Mr. Potter, I didn't know you had a television." She said.
"Oh we don't. Lily was going on and on about how we don't get out anymore. So she decided we should go to this thing called the movies. She was looking at the movies and she looked as if she was going to wet herself. 'James we have to see that!' she yelled. I asked what. 'ET of course. He was out when Elektra was born. My parents and I took her to see it. Now it's back for the 20th anniversary!' 'What in the name of Merlin is an ET?' 'He's an alien lost on Earth. You never heard someone say ET phone home?' 'Earth to Lily, I grew up in the wizarding world.' I whispered. So then he got stuck in my head and he might be in there. Be back in a second. C'mon Sirius." James said. The two adults transformed into their animal selves and went into the forest.
"Harry, your father scares me sometimes." Ginny said.
"Me too Gin, me too." Harry said. He turned to his sister who was lost in thought.
"Galleon for your thoughts?" he asked.
"What if Dad and Sirius get hurt? It'll be our fault if they do." Elektra said. They then heard the stomping of James' hooves and a yell. James and Sirius transformed and behind them was Draco Malfoy.
"There is your Voldemort." Sirius said.
"Malfoy, 2 days detention with me and 20 points from Slytherin. I'll owl your detention to you by dinner." He added. Malfoy grumbled and walked up to the school. The Potters, Weasleys, Sirius and Hermione followed and then James remembered.
"Party, Gryffindor Common Room." He said. Hermione looked shocked.
"Mr. Potter, I don't think a party is suitable. I mean tomorrow is Sunday and a lot of students will be studying for classes." She said.
"Yea. You. I think it is a fabulous idea Dad." Elektra said.
"Sirius you're coming too." James said. Sirius put on a face of happiness.
"Why James, I am honored." He exclaimed. "Of course I will except your invitation." James rolled his eyes. They got back up to school and bumped into someone. It was McGonagall.
"Minerva you own me 5 Knuts!" Sirius yelled. She rolled her eyes and walked away. He ran after her.
"Come on Minerva! We had a bet!" they heard Sirius yell as he ran down the hall.
"Shall we go to the common room? We'll set up. Maybe Fred and George will get some puking pellets. We'll have some music." James said.
"Let's race." Elektra said. James nodded, but then threw his daughter over his shoulder.
"Hey!" she yelled.
"I'm fast. Will win!" James said. They ran, and James and Elektra ended up winning. They went in and began to set up. They had cleared the common room of people promising a party when they got back. Sirius came back, with his 5 Knuts and helped.
"Ron, let's study for the test we have in a few days before Mr. Potter has this party." Hermione begged.
"Oh another thing. Forget the formality tonight. It is James and Sirius!" Sirius said.
"What test do we have?" Ron asked.
"Sirius told us we'd have one on Monday remember." Hermione said.
"Not anymore. I am not going to be in the mood to grade anything." Sirius said. Hermione looked horrified.
"Oh stop. Missing one test isn't going to kill you Miss Smarty-Pants!" Elektra said.
The time came for the party and the adults sent the kids to get the other Gryffindors to PARTY!!!!!!
A/N: a party by James Potter and Sirius Black.. Oh god oh god! Save us all.. Lol plz review and give me some ideas for the party. I love your ideas!
