Days went by and soon enough the whole student body was rushing to the
Quidditch pitch; Gabrielle could hear them even over Williams's loud pep
talk. He was confident, and so was she. She looked down at her robes, and
back at Williams, then at her wand. Then they left for the stadium. A rush
of energy crept though her as they walked to their entrance to the
Quidditch field. As soon as they entered onto the field there was a loud
cheer from Gryffindor's team supporters. Then she heard a loud cheer when
the Hufflepuff team went out onto the field form the Hufflepuff supporters.
Gabrielle smiled and walked onto her spot on the field. The whistle blew.
They were off. She heard Malcolm, her blonde Gryffindor friend, announcing
the game, as he always did. She smiled at Jamie, and Shannon, and soon
enough she saw them get the quaffle, she could see them zooming to the
other side of the field. She sighed; she knew she wouldn't get much action
in this game. The Hufflepuffs weren't exactly the best team in the school.
Already, they were up by thirty points and James had the snitch in his
sight. She kept her focus and watched what was going on. Quigley sped past
her; he was after a bludger that had almost broken her nose. As he sped
by, he told her to watch out.
The Hufflepuffs managed to get the quaffle past the Gryffindor chasers, but
Gabrielle caught it and threw it over to Jamie, and they flew over to the
other teams net again to get more points for the team. The whistle blew.
The game was over. She was happy that they won, but she was unhappy that
she didn't get to do much.
Maybe I should ask Williams if I could be chaser. She joined the big
hugging swarm of scarlet and gold, which was the Gryffindor team. They
were all hugging and screaming. "We won! WE won!" Gabrielle smiled and was
pushed from the back right into James because the students from the stands
came to collide into their pit of victory (if you want to call it that),
and he was pushed into her. She looked at James in confusion and there was
another jolt and her lips collided with his. (Yes, a kiss) She turned red,
and pulled away from him, and screamed on top of her lungs. She was ready
to curse him, she tried to pull out her wand but she was pushed into him
again. Which made her even more furious. She slipped away from him, trying
to get as far away from him as possible.
"Morgain!" Gabrielle shouted at her from the end of the swarm of students. "There you are, you look pale" "Gabrielle! We saw! How cute! I didn't know you and James are dating!" It was Jamie and Shannon, they saw. Gabrielle turned red. "We aren't dating!!!" she said reassuring Morgain's confused look. "Gabrielle!" Williams screamed at her as he walked towards her. She turned around and rolled her eyes at him. "I didn't think I'd have to tell you this but what are you doing? Their will be no team dating!" he said, Gabrielle turning into the same red color. "It will ruin your focus! If I could stop you from dating at all but that's not possible." he said babbling on. Morgain pulled her away before she could explode. Gabrielle ran and ran to get some excess steam off, Jamie, Shannon, Laura and Morgain watched, talking. She ran stomping the ground with her feet harder than she ever had before, she was so angry! She even managed to stop out a tear, and then she let her friends catch up to her. "Omagosh! Gaby! When did you learn to run so fast!?" Jamie panted. Morgain, Shannon and Laura came after her panting as well.
"Arghh!!! I can't believe this!" Gabrielle yelled. She was red with anger. "Why me?" The girls noticed the tear that was falling down her face from all her stomping, and aggravation.
"Aww common Gaby!" Morgain comforted her and hugged her. Laura and Jamie did the same. (group hug! nooo kissing tho! LOL A/N)
"Lets just go up to the common room and calm down ok?" Jamie suggested. "NO! He'll be there and the rest of the house. I'm really not in the mood for them." Gabrielle protested, saying the word "them" as if it was poison (them of course meaning James And his friends). She was stubborn, but she didn't care! So they walked towards the school to go to the library instead. "OK What exactly happened?" Morgain asked when they were inside the school. "Well-" she stopped. James, Sirius, Peter, and Remeus were ahead of them. They looked around at them when they entered the entrance hall, and James smiled at Gabrielle. This time she became even redder than she had to other times. She desperately attempted to hide herself; She hid behind a huge statue in the entrance hall, and watched James laugh at her and walked away. "Lets go to the library" Gabrielle said. Morgain nodded. They entered the library, and went to the very back in a deserted corner. Gabrielle sat on a dusty chair; after she took out her wand and cleaned it up a bit. The others sat beside her, on other dusty chairs that they attempted to clean up too. Her three friends waited for what she would say next. There was a silence then Gabrielle started up again.
"How am I going to live this down?"
"Gaby, don't pretend you don't like him because we know you fancy him, and obviously he fancies you too." Morgain just blurted out. Gabrielle looked at her surprised with her bluntness.
"I do not!" Gabrielle argued and stood up. She blushed a bit. She was in a state of denial, but she didn't care!
"Yes you do." Laura argued back calmly. Gabrielle sat down and muttered under her breath,
"No I don't." After a few minutes of silence, Jamie and Shannon tried to get Gabrielle to go up to their common room.
"I don't want to go!" Gabrielle folded her arms. This was stubborn Gabrielle, this was donkey stubborn Gabrielle. Even if the house was on fire if she wouldn't want to leave she wouldn't. Jamie sighed.
"Is it really all that bad?" Morgain asked.
"Yesss!" Gabrielle wined like a little child.
"Seriously Gaby, the school will get over it in a few days." Laura tried to show a bit of sunshine into the situation. Right after they finished talking, a girl with way too much makeup on and disgustingly amount of hair products pocked her hair behind a bookshelf that was hiding them. "Gabrielle!" said a girl that followed the first makeup covered girl. She put her hands on her hips and said. "What were you thinking kissing James like that?" She said, saying the first part of her sentence sternly but saying James's name softly, and with much awe. Gabrielle rolled her eyes. "Excuse me, I didn't kiss him on purpose!" she said, and all the girls snickered at her (there were more coming by the second) "Very funny! Now keep off of him" The first girl said. "Oh so you're dating him, all of you." Morgain said, eyeing them. "No" one girl said sourly. "He's ours! We liked him first!" "All of yours?" Shannon asked, almost bursting with laughter. The girls looked at one another's powdered faces, confused. This obviously wasn't explained in their beauty magazines. "Er. Well leave you to figure it out for yourselves." Morgian said getting up. As soon as they left their seats they were on the floor laughing, Gabrielle stopped when she noticed. She gabbed Morgain's arm. "Everyone's going to know!" she said, getting pale again. "You just figured that out?" Morgain asked. Gabrielle's face went pale, so pale her freckles stood out thousand times more than usual. "Oy. Gabrielle! There's a party in Gryffindor tower! We need you." Gabrielle looked up. It was Malcolm. She felt nervous. She wouldn't look at Jamie's face she knew it would just scream I told you so. " They really need me?" she asked. "O'course. You're the keeper!" Gabrielle got up from her spot on the carpeted floor of the library. He led her out of the library and to the Gryffindor common room. Jamie and Shannon following. "So you and James are dating, eh?" this time Gabrielle attempted to control her anger. "No" she said through clenched teeth. "Its alright, you can tell me, there's no use keeping it a secret." "I'm not lying, it was an accident. I was pushed into him," She said taking a couple of deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. He looked at her and raised his eyebrow so high it was lost in the blonde hair on his forehead. "Its true!" she said "Alright! Alright!" he said. "I believe you." They walked the rest of the way to the Portrait of the fat lady. "Toadstool" he said, and the portrait opened to let them through the portrait hole into the Gryffindor common room. Everyone looked at her when she entered, but she rolled her eyes and went towards the pumpkin juice, she got a glass, and went to her favorite chair by the window, but someone else was there. He looked up at her when she walked towards to the chair. "What do you want? You got your kiss," Gabrielle said to James miserably. He smiled, and she scolded him. "I swear it wasn't my fault," he said. She eyed him, looking for anything in his face to prove his sarcasm, but there was none. "Sorry" he added. Her stern look softened up a little. "Er. That was a good catch, how long did it take you to get the snitch. Five minutes?" "Think so." He answered her, looking out the window. That was a great save." "Yeah. One save. There's no action any more, none at all. The chasers get all the fun" "Then why don't you ask Williams if you could be chaser?" She thought about it. "You know, that's not such a bad idea," she said smiling.
"Morgain!" Gabrielle shouted at her from the end of the swarm of students. "There you are, you look pale" "Gabrielle! We saw! How cute! I didn't know you and James are dating!" It was Jamie and Shannon, they saw. Gabrielle turned red. "We aren't dating!!!" she said reassuring Morgain's confused look. "Gabrielle!" Williams screamed at her as he walked towards her.
