Chapter 11: In Denial
-----
The dance ended an hour after the prank. The six of then talked the rest of the time. When the dance was over, James and Lily were talking to each other again. James was still pretty upset that she only wanted to be friends. Lily was too, but she couldn't show it.
"So, how was Sirius?" Lily asked Julia when they were back in their dormitory.
"He's so funny! Not to mention he's really cute," Julia said sighing. "What about Remus?" she asked Alex.
"He's so fun to be around... and he's polite," she added, throwing a look at Julia. Julia laughed.
"But it's so funny how Sirius doesn't realize he's being rude," she said.
"Anyway, what about Gilderoy?" Alex asked Lily. Lily looked like she was going to gag.
"HORRIBLE! He is so full of himself! He's worse than Potter! I finally ditched him in the middle of the dance."
Julia sighed. "James's date didn't go very well either. Tracy was just trying to shag him the whole time." Lily laughed.
"No! It wasn't funny!" Alex exclaimed. "It was disturbing!"
Julia made a face. "Yeah, she was sitting on his lap. James was trying to talk to us, but he couldn't 'cause she was trying to stick her tongue into his mouth." She shuttered at the memory of it. Lily snorted.
"Sounds like something James would usually like," she said.
"Only when it's you on top of him!" Alex said and Lily threw a pillow at her.
Meanwhile, in the boy's dormitory, they were having a similar discussion.
"Ug, Tracy was a HORRIBLE date!" James cried. "She's more obnoxious than Sirius!" Sirius grinned, taking this as a compliment.
"Yeah, but you and Lily made up, didn't you?" Remus asked.
"Uh huh. But she said she only cared about me as a friend." When he walked into the bathroom, Remus and Sirius exchanged glances.
"Ooh! Quidditch game in tomorrow!" James called from the bathroom, changing the subject.
"Who's playing?" Remus asked.
"Gryffindor and Slytherin," James answered. At 12:00, everyone was asleep.
The next day, a Saturday, Lily, Julia, and Alex were talking on the couch.
"Samantha's hanging out with Tracy Greenburg now?" Alex asked.
"Ya-huh. They do have similar personalities- both obnoxious and rude." Lily said.
"Let's go girls!" James sang. "Quidditch time!"
"Let me get my broom!" Julia said and she ran into her dormitory. They all walked down together. Lily, Remus, Sirius, and Alex left Julia and James at the locker room. Sirius then left to go announce. The three remaining sat down together in the Gryffindor stands.
"Alright!" Sirius's loud voice said. "Today it's a Gryffindor and Slytherin match. I hate to break it to ya, ladies, but I am NOT currently single, I- ok, I'll stay on topic, professor." As the Gryffindor team flew out onto the field, Sirius screamed out their names. "Chasers: James Potter, Julia Smith, and Kyle Thomas! Beaters: Robert and Olivia Moore! Keeper: Douglas Venda! And Seeker: Marisa Pansement!" There were cheers from everybody except the Slytherins who responded to the team with "BOO!"s.
Sirius continued. "And the... ew... Slytherins. Chasers: Samuel Flint, Marcus Daniels, and Paul Perdente. Beaters: Dean Harris and Jason Sierin. Keeper: Trevor Chapéu. And Seeker: Jordan Pansement." There was only cheering from the Slytherins and a couple of claps here and there from the other houses to be polite.
The game started and five minutes into it, the Gryffindor team was already winning, ten to nothing.
"And Daniels has the ball, he throws it towards the Gryffindor goal, and- ooh! Venda catches it JUST IN TIME! He throws is out to Smith, who catches it and is soaring to the goal. Ooh, she's so ho- such a great Quidditch player. Heh heh," he laughed nervously as McGonagall gave him a threatening look.
"Oh, look! James has the ball now!" Lily yelled and Alex and Remus looked at each other. They knew Lily liked James as more than a friend. They just didn't know if she knew it yet.
"And Potter has the ball, he throws it into the hoop... GOAL!" Sirius screamed and there was a loud cheer from the Gryffindors.
"Yeah, Prongs!" Remus yelled.
"Why do you and Sirius call him that?" Alex asked him. He shrugged.
"No reason."
The game continued. It was now 50 to 40, Slytherin winning.
"COME ON GRYFFINDORS!" Sirius yelled. "WE CAN'T LET THOSE GITS BEAT US! OWWWWWWWWW! THAT HURT, PROFESSOR!" he roared as he cradled the arm Professor McGonagall had hit.
"Stop acting immature!" she yelled at him.
"Fine. Gryffindor has the Quaffle, Thomas passes it to Smith- ooh! Intercepted by Perdente! Robert Moore hit a Bludger toward him, and he hits him! Yay! Wait! There goes Marisa who's tailed by her twin, Jordan. They both see the snitch! Oh! I see it too! They're flying... flying... getting closer... come on, Marisa! You can do it! Closer... ahh! Jordan's ahead of her... no, Marisa, faster! Yay, she's going faster! Oh yeah, Potter just scored! It's a tie so far... and... MARISA CATCHES THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS!" Sirius screamed, jumping up and down. Lily, Alex, and Remus were hugging each other, nearly deafened by the Gryffindors screaming.
Afterwards, Lily, Alex, Remus, and Sirius met Julia and James by the locker rooms.
"You guys did great!" Lily exclaimed, hugging Julia.
"Thanks!" Julia replied.
"My bloody arm still hurts!" Sirius cried. "McGonagall is so violent!" They laughed and walked up to the castle.
"I'm so hungry!" Remus yelled as they entered the Great hall later on.
"Same!" James cried as he made a taco. Lily found herself watching him from across the table. He was really good looking. She watched the way his messy hair moved when he moved. She wondered why she couldn't just tell him that she did care for him as more than a friend.
"Lil?" Julia said to her redheaded friend.
"Hm?" Lily asked as she snapped out of her daze. Julia leaned over and whispered something to her.
"You starring at James?"
"No! Of course not!"
"Then what were you looking at?"
"Er... nothing." Lily responded quickly.
"Admit it! You like him!" Julia whispered back, ignoring her comment.
"I don't like him... I mean, as a friends, yeah... but as more than that..."
"You're in denial!" Julia whispered, a little too loudly.
"About what?" James asked.
"Nothing!" Lily screamed nervously. "I need to talk to Julia." And she and Julia ran out of the hall.
---- Ok, so please review! lol, the last names for some of the players were random words in different languages. One of them was like "bandage" in French or something, I forgot. Ok bye!
