Title: Was it Meant to be?
Chapter: 4/Flying Lessons
After some charms and simple counter curses, Severus was released from the Hospital wing with only a few scratches visible here and there. Lilly and Severus were now off to their first flying lesson for the school year.
" So…Lilly…have you ever flown on a broom before?"
" Erm…no…I came from a muggle family…so…there are not any flying brooms where I come from…"
Lilly smiled slightly still getting used to all the wizarding words like 'muggles'. Severus just grinned in a sly way, he didn't seem to talk much…he had a cold like gleam to him.
They slowly came upon the fields and saw the other students just lining up, so they quickly ran off.
They lined up each along some older quidditch brooms. Not very speedy, but quite good for beginners. The instructions were given, to put your hand over the broom and firmly, yet clearly say 'up!' and the broom would fly to your right hand. Ok, so you know…everything was going fine, until…Madame Hooch just happened to say 'kick off' and didn't get to finish when all the first years kicked off the ground and into the air. Some flew off in high distances while others broms hovered and shook violently.
Lilly seemed a bit jittery when hers began to hover. It just sat there a moment until slowly it spun in slow wide circles, floating higher and higher, her light red hair flowing around in the current. Man, was it a veiw. The whole clear and chilled lake could be seen. It's surface gleaming from the bright sun light in the sky.
Things might have seemed alright, but suddenly, the broom went haywire. It jolted around quickly, and un controlably. James and his friends Peter, Remus, and Sirius were just above her. They were quite good at flying. But, obviously, she wasn't. She got thrown off her broom as it flew off and hit the ground with a nasty crack. But that wasn't what was on her mind as she was falling hundreds of feet in the air…it was whether she was going to survive this fall. Her new Gryffindor robes flew around her as she fell face first, through the cool air. Madame Hooch below hadn't noticed as she was tending to another student who got smacked up side the face with his broom and had a bad whelp and bruise. The ground came spinning closer to her, flashes of green and blue from the grass and sky. She was a goner. This is quite a way to be ending her school time,definitely memorable, but as she neared the few inches above the ground she suddenly stopped. Some one had a hold on her waist to keep her from falling. She looked up breathlessly and saw none other than James Potter. Severus from the other side of the area was sneering to James as he saw Lilly in his arms.
" Hey, not bad for first try eh?"
James grinned as he sat her on the soft green grass that had never smelled so sweeter to her before in her life.
" I…well…I guess…but, Thank you…very much…I do suppose owe you in return now don't I…heh"
" Well…no…don't worry about it…"
James smiled his brilliant smile to her as she straightend her hair and robes. A giggle of the sorts escaped her lips when she saw that his glasses had gone crooked and his hair was wind swept and more messy than usual. You could say…he was kind of cute. She stood and walkedover to him and kissed his cheek quickly and hurried off blushing slightly and left James there dumbfounded.
It was a definatley an interesting day for her. Seeing as…only two classes had passed, but she did learn one thing from this all, and she would not soon forget this one bit…
SHE OFFICIALLY HATED FLYING!
