Let me do something I havenÕt done in a fair few chapters.
A/N I donÕt own Harry Potter, I do own Frances Liu, Stephanie Killate, Becka Stockaz, Jason Bundaberg, and any other student you have never heard of before you read this story...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Last Chapter ending: Becka threw a pillow at her. ÔShut up!Õ
Frances looked hurt. ÔFine!Õ she picked up the pillow, and threw it back at Becka. ÔBut I still say that all of the ÔplanningÕ you and Sirius did for this thing was the two of you snogging in his room!Õ Becka and Sirius turned scarlet.
ÔER... IÕm going to bed now... good night!Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Chapter 11- New Years Resolutions... and Quidditch Practice!
Becka woke up the next morning, to a pillow soaring at her head. With a quick bit of charm work, she froze it mid air.
ÔWhat the hell?Õ She sat up, and rubbed her eyes.
ÔBout time you got up!Õ Lily pouted, ÔWe leave in 4 hours!Õ ÔAww...Õ Becka started rubbing to fingers together. ÔWorlds smallest violin... and itÕs playing for you...Õ
ÔShut up!Õ Lily exclaimed.
ÔMake me!Õ Becka became the target of a barrage of pillows from both Lily and Frances. ÔOk! Ok! Mercy!Õ Becka cried. Lily looked smug.
ÔHa!Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Sirius, James and Remus had sat up all night, discussing what they would like to do after they left Hogwarts.
ÔIÕm gonna be an Auror... how about you Moony?Õ James asked. ÔIÕm gonna be a DADA teacher... Padfoot?Õ ÔI think IÕll do the same as Prongs... Auror sounds good!Õ Sirius exclaimed loudly.
ÔShh! You might wake the girls up!Õ James whispered hoarsely. Sirius blushed.
ÔYou know what?Õ he said, after a few moments of silence occurred. ÔWe need to buy a place in GodricÕs Hollow after school... for the 3 of us to live in...Õ Sirius grinned.
ÔYeah... just you, me and moony...Õ James replied.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The girls got up, and dressed, before going out, and down to breakfast.
ÔMmm...Õ Lily mumbled, ÔI can smell pancakes... blueberry bagels... bacon... eggs... toast... assorted pastries...Õ
ÔYeah... The BlackÕs send 3 house elves, disguised as young girls, down to a bakery. It has so many pastries; it makes the mouth water... ItÕs SiriusÕ favourite hide-out...Õ Becka replied... with a grin.
ÔWhatÕs my favourite hide out?Õ The three marauders walked down the stairs, behind the Angels.
ÔThe pastry shop down the road...Õ Becka answered. Sirius drooled, ÔYeah... all those blueberry bagels...Õ (Lolz...)
ÔRiiiiiiiight...letÕs go... breakfast is getting cold! =)Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The angels sat down at the empty table, soon accompanied by the marauders. They were joined by the BlackÕs soon after.
ÔAh! YouÕre all here! We thought weÕd have to call you all down, like weÕve had to with Sirius and Becka the past week,Õ Mr Black grinned, watching his son and his sonÕs girlfriend blush.
ÔMmm... These bagels look good... wanna try one?Õ Becka reached out and took 3 bagels, one for herself, and two for her friends...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
After Breakfast, Becka and the angels went up to her ÔroomÕ and finished opening her Christmas presents.
Phobos and Deimos (Phoenix and Owl) watched on attentively.
ÔOk... so thatÕs 387 gifts from Amos, and there are 399... no wait... 400 cards from him to burn... right?Õ Lily asked, pointing at the pile.
ÔYeah... sounds about right...Õ Becka replied, playing with Phobos.
ÔARGH! Is that the time?! Oh man! We have to be at the station in 20 minutes!Õ Lily exclaimed.
ÔNo... SiriusÕ parents set the clocks 1 hour fast, so Sirius is remotely on time... donÕt worry... you still have 1 hour and 20 minutes,Õ Becka grinned.
ÔGood...Õ Frances sighed, ÔCause I didnÕt want to miss the train, otherwise IÕd be stuck here with you for the rest of the holidays!Õ she stared pointedly at Becka.
ÔHey!Õ A pillow fight erupted, whilst the marauders watched from the adjoining door.
ÔHow sweet!Õ Sirius exclaimed, whilst James hit his head.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Soon, it was time for James, Lily, Frances and Remus to leave, and Becka, with Sirius, hopped into the Limo with them.
ÔWeÕll come with you to the station, and thatÕs it!Õ Becka exclaimed, whilst her friends tried to convince her otherwise.
ÔAw... Pwease?Õ Lily put on a puppy face, which was greeted with a scowl, from Becka, and a stare from James.
ÒSo... Cute...Õ James thought, sighing.
ÔWhatÕs up Prongs?Õ Sirius asked. ÔThe sun, Padfoot, The sun...Õ James lapsed into Lily Limbo again.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
ÔBYE! Say Hi to Arabella for me!Õ Becka exclaimed, as the train sped off into the sunset.
ÔBye!Õ She turned, and she and Sirius left.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Back at SiriusÕ mansion, Becka felt lonely. Sure, Sirius was there, but there was no-one else... Lily and Frances were the best friends she could ever ask for... but they werenÕt there anymore...Õ
Sirius, on the other hand, felt tired. He had gotten no sleep last night, and as soon as he saw his bed, he conked out.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
At Hogwarts, Arabella was overjoyed. Two of her best friends were back, at the third would be there in a week.
ÔSo... how was it?Õ she asked Lily, who looked exhausted,
ÔCheck out tomorrowÕs daily prophet, witch weekly, Sun, or whatever newspaper you can get your hands onÉÕ Lily mumbled, before she fell on her bed, and slept.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Lily was out on the quidditch pitch, looking at two animals. There was a stag, a brilliant white stag, and an eagle. The eagle had hurt its wing, and the stag stayed with it, to protect it.
Suddenly, a werewolf appeared, and tried to bite the eagle. Lily cried out, but the Stag protected his small friend. Lily stared... dumbstruck.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Lily got up off her bed, and walked down to the common room. She wanted quiet to think about the dream she just had. A stag, and an eagle...
When she arrived, she saw the room wasnÕt empty... James was sitting on a lounge, pondering something.
ÔOh... sorry, I thought it was empty down here... IÕll go,Õ Lily turned to run up the stairs, when James called out. ÔNo... you donÕt have to, IÕm quiet, you can stay...Õ
ÔThank you,Õ Lily sat on a lounge opposite James, and started to ponder her dream... when James mumbled: A Stag and an Eagle... I wonder...
Lily froze. Had James just dreamt the same thing she had?
ÔSorry?Õ Lily choked.
ÔOh... nothing, just a dream I just had... it was weird...Õ James replied. ÔOh,Õ Lily mumbled, ÔDid it have a werewolf in it? And the stag and eagle were friends?Õ
James froze, ÔY...y...y...yeah... it did... why?Õ
ÔBecause I shared that dream...Õ
Ôcoincidence... gotta be coincidence...Õ James mumbled to himself. It hit him.
ÔHave you had any other dreams like this?Õ James asked.
Lily shifted uncomfortably in her seat. ÒWhat do I say? Yes, I had a dream that you died saving me, and one that you snogged me in a corridor, and another that you told me I had to join with you, and now this dream, with a definite hidden meaning LINKING to you?!Ó
ÔEr... yeah... I have to go to bed now... good night!Õ Lily turned, and bolted up the stairs.
James sat still in his chair. Could she be having the same dreams as him?
But more importantly...
Does she know his feelings?
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The next morning, Becka woke with clouded thoughts in her mind.
She threw some clothes on, and grabbed her broomstick.
ÔI need to clear my head,Õ she mumbled, as she soared through the cool, morning sky.
ÔA fox and a dog... two enemies... why?Õ Becka flew through a nearby forest, and saw a huge lake ahead.
She skimmed her toes over the water, and sighed.
Then she saw it... over the horizon, the top of the castle peeked.
ÔHogwarts...Õ Becka gasped. She flew onto the grounds, and around the quidditch pitch, when she noticed a certain redhead in the stands, reading.
ÔLily!Õ Becka cried, as Lily looked up.
ÔBecka! YouÕre back early!Õ Lily ran out, as Becka landed. ÔNope, just flew here from SiriusÕ cause I needed to think...Õ Becka waved her hand.
ÔAnyway... how are you?
ÔFine...Õ Lily mumbled.
ÔCool... IÕm thinking of coming back early anyway... ItÕs boring at SiriusÕ house without you and Frances... so empty,Õ Becka got melodramatic.
ÔYeah... we miss you too... When will you be back?Õ Lily smiled.
ÔUmm... tomorrow, if I can wrangle it... IÕll fly here, so come to the quidditch pitch around... 2p.m.Õ Becka gave Lily a hug.
ÔSee you tomorrow,Õ the girls grinned, and Becka hopped back on her broom.
ÔIÕll be back... youÕll see...Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
True to her word, Becka came back, with Sirius towing behind her, at 2p.m. the next day, much to the happiness of the Angels and Marauders.
ÔHarro!!!!Õ Becka exclaimed, as she landed on the pitch.
ÔYAY! Your back!Õ Becka was greeted with a barrage of hugs from the other angels.
ÔNice to see you guys too...Õ
The girls stepped back, and Frances grinned.
ÔQuidditch practice, tomorrow at 9. Jamie wants us all prepared for the quidditch up match!Õ (A/N I know... starting a bit late...)
ÔCool... IÕll put my stuff away,Õ and the girls walked up to their dorm together, chatting and laughing.
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
On New Years Day, everyone was cheery and happy.
Everyone came up with resolutions for the New Year.
Lily: This year I will work my hardest, and push myself to the limit Becka: This year, I will try my best in classes, and extra activities Frances: This year I will prank the marauders like never before Arabella: This year, I will be the best me possible!
The list went on...
Sirius: This year, I will ditch my girlfriend for a week tactic, and build the steadiest relationship with Becka. Remus: This year, I will try my hardest in school Peter: This year... I will overcome them... and be strong (A/N GIT!!!!! [Calm down Becka... count to 10... breathe in... and out...] Calm! So calm! NOT! Mwhahahahahahaha!!! Ahem... ok...I will be Sirius now...lolz)
And finallyÉ
James: This year... This year IÕll tell her I love her... This year...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The start of term feast was a spectacular one, with everyone happy and laughing.
ÔThank you!Õ Dumbledore stood up, smiled.
ÔWelcome back students! I trust you all had a good holiday. A new student joins us today! She is a transfer from Durmstrang, and currently in her 5th year. Her name is Christina Papuan, and she has been sorted into Gryffindor. I trust that you will all make her welcome!Õ Loud cheers erupted from the Gryffindor table, lead by the marauders.
The angels looked around, and spotted Christina. ÔCome on... letÕs make her feel welcomeÉÕ Becka got up and walked over to her, once Dumbledore finished his speech.
ÔHi! My nameÕs Becka. IÕm a 5th year in Gryffindor too. Welcome to Hogwarts. Would you like to come and sit with us?Õ Becka asked her, in a friendly tone.
ÔSure!Õ Christina exclaimed, ÔIÕd love too!Õ and from that moment on, Christina was an Angel, on of GodricÕs own...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Jamie shook Becka and Frances awake. ÔWassamatter?Õ Becka rolled over.
ÔQuidditch practice!Õ Jamie grinned.
ÔNo mom! I donÕt wanna go to school today!Õ Frances rolled away from Jamie.
ÔQuidditch! Up Now!Õ The two girls got up, and sulked as they put on their robes.
ÔThereÕs no way in HELL IÕm gonna be able to catch the snitch this time of the morning!Õ
ÔStupid... robes...Õ Frances was struggling. She toppled over, and made such a loud crashing noise, that Lily and Arabella woke up.
ÔWha?!Õ Lily sat bolt upright. ÔQuidditch!Õ Arabella inferred, as she looked at Becka and Frances.
ÔYeah... Help me up!Õ Frances stretched out her arms, and Becka pulled her up.
With all of the commotion, Christina woke up. ÔQuidditch?Õ she asked.
ÔPractice... yeah... want to come?Õ Becka asked.
ÔOk...Õ Whilst the other angels dressed, Becka helped a tired Frances into her robes.
ÔCool... letÕs go!Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The girls ran downstairs, whilst Becka and Frances sped ahead. They were already late enough...
On the Quidditch pitch, the Gryffindor team waited patiently. Finally, their seeker, and last chaser arrived.
ÔSorry weÕre late...Õ Becka and Frances gasped.
ÔThatÕs all right, oh Lily! Arabella! Christina! You guys can sit in the stands, for now =)Õ Jamie grinned.
ÔNow... weÕre going to play a mock game, with 6 people, one person will be off to come on later.
Now...
Team A:
Becka-Seeker
Sirius- Beater
Frances- Chaser.
Team B:
James- Seeker
Angelica- Chaser
And
Matt- Beater.
ÔIÕll go off and ref this match. You have no keeper so I suggest that you make an effort to block your goal hoops. LetÕs PLAAAAAAAY BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!Õ
Jamie released the snitch, and threw the quaffle in the air. Sirius and Matt got ready as the bludgers got set free.
Frances had the quaffle and was swerving around a persistent Angelica.
ÔTEAM A SCORES!Õ Jamie cried, as Frances punched the air.
Sirius, flew around, and whacked a bludger at James (A/N he-he-he). Matt flew up and blocked it.
ÔDamn!Õ Sirius growled.
Becka was up in the air, tense, as she tried to spot the snitch.
ÔAlright there Stockaz?Õ James asked. ÔNice try,Õ Becka noticed the snitch dancing around, a few hundred feet from JamesÕ head. She lunged, and her broom sped into action. She dove after the snitch, and caught it in her hand.
ÔTEAM A WINS!Õ Jamie cried proudly, as everyone landed.
ÔOk... now weÕll work on skills...Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Soon, it was time for breakfast, and the Gryffindor team trudged off to the change rooms... that is, except for the girls. Frances and Becka always stayed clean in the air, in practice, because they didnÕt fall off their brooms =).
The girls trudged off to breakfast, and chatted happily. ÔHey, whoÕs that hot beater that was on team B?Õ Christina asked.
ÔOh... thatÕs Matt... Matt Ryan...Õ Why?Õ Becka replied.
ÔI think heÕs hot...Õ Christina replied dreamily. ÔWait... did you see James Potter... Or Sirius Black?Õ Lily asked.
ÔYeah...Õ Christina replied.
ÔAnd youÕre not swooning over them?Õ Frances continued.
ÔNo...Õ
ÔYes! WeÕve found someone else normal!!!!Õ Lily exclaimed.
ÔHey! SiriusÕ isnÕt like that anymore! Notice! IÕm the longest running of his girlfriends? At 6 weeks?Õ Becka cried.
ÔOk... fine... theyÕre normal if they donÕt swoon over James potter...Õ Lily replied, ÔCome on! Breakfast time!Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The boys from the team were changing into normal clothes back in the change room.
ÔHey Matt! Did you see the new girl? She was baring holes in you. She totally couldnÕt stop staring!Õ Sirius exclaimed.
ÔWho... Christina? Yeah... I reckon sheÕs pretty cute...Õ
ÔOh... so youÕve dropped your stupid crush on Lily Evans now have you?Õ Sirius asked.
James dropped his broom.
ÔNah... LilyÕs really hot... but I reckon ChristinaÕs cute too. Whoever I swoon first... I guess...Õ Matt replied, as he pulled his white T-shirt over his well-built body.
Ô Yeah... I suppose... Oy James! Hurry Up!Õ Sirius pulled his shirt over his well-built body, and James followed suit. (A/N IÕm only doing this so later in the story you can relate to Lily etc when they do something...not telling what!)
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The weeks rolled by quickly, and soon it was a week before their first camp.
ÔMuggle first... isnÕt it?Õ Lily asked her friends. ÔYeah... to Teen Ranch... I think...Õ Becka replied.
ÔCool... Now... back to studying!Õ
The girls were sitting in the library, preparing for their OWLs trials. Sure, it wasnÕt for a few months, but the Angels were the brightest girls of their year, and there was no harm in being prepared...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
ÔOooh! Camp next week!Õ Sirius exclaimed happily to his friends. ÔYeah... what cabin are we in again? Rabble-rouser?Õ James asked Remus.
ÔYeah...Õ ÔOk... now hereÕs what I thought... WeÕll prank the Slytherins by...Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Soon, camp time rolled around, and the 5th years were eager to go.
ÔOK! You will be placed in pairs... of the Boy/girl variety... The people shall be from you cabinÉÕ Professor McGonagall exclaimed over the noise. All fell quiet and she proceeded to pair people off.
ÒPlease not Stephanie... Please!Ó James thought to himself.
ÒPlease not James... Please not James!Ó Lily begged her mind. ÔLily Evans you are with...Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Mwhahahahahahaha! My first actual cliff-hanger!!!! Wow... I feel so special...
Will Lily be with James? Will Stephanie be an ass and ruin the whole camp? Will Gryffindor win the quidditch cup?
Tune in next time, on
The unexpected... or so they think...
Mwhahahahahahaha!

ÔCool... IÕll put my stuff away,Õ and the girls walked up to their dorm together, chatting and laughing.

On New Years Day, everyone was cheery and happy.
Everyone came up with resolutions for the New Year.
Lily: This year I will work my hardest, and push myself to the limit Becka: This year, I will try my best in classes, and extra activities Frances: This year I will prank the marauders like never before Arabella: This year, I will be the best me possible!
The list went on...

I will overcome them... and be strong (A/N GIT!!!!! [Calm down Becka... count to 10... breathe in... and out...] Calm! So calm! NOT! Mwhahahahahahaha!!! Ahem... ok...I will be Sirius now...lolz)
And finallyÉ
James: This year... This year IÕll tell her I love her... This year...

The start of term feast was a spectacular one, with everyone happy and laughing.
ÔThank you!Õ Dumbledore stood up, smiled.
ÔWelcome back students! I trust you all had a good holiday. A new student joins us today! She is a transfer from Durmstrang, and currently in her 5th year. Her name is Christina Papuan, and she has been sorted into Gryffindor. I trust that you will all make her welcome!Õ Loud cheers erupted from the Gryffindor table, lead by the marauders.
The angels looked around, and spotted Christina. ÔCome on... letÕs make her feel welcomeÉÕ Becka got up and walked over to her, once Dumbledore finished his speech.
ÔHi! My nameÕs Becka. IÕm a 5th year in Gryffindor too. Welcome to Hogwarts. Would you like to come and sit with us?Õ Becka asked her, in a friendly tone.
ÔSure!Õ Christina exclaimed, ÔIÕd love too!Õ and from that moment on, Christina was an Angel, on of GodricÕs own...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Jamie shook Becka and Frances awake. ÔWassamatter?Õ Becka rolled over.
ÔQuidditch practice!Õ Jamie grinned.
ÔNo mom! I donÕt wanna go to school today!Õ Frances rolled away from Jamie.
ÔQuidditch! Up Now!Õ The two girls got up, and sulked as they put on their robes.
ÔThereÕs no way in HELL IÕm gonna be able to catch the snitch this time of the morning!Õ
ÔStupid... robes...Õ Frances was struggling. She toppled over, and made such a loud crashing noise, that Lily and Arabella woke up.
ÔWha?!Õ Lily sat bolt upright. ÔQuidditch!Õ Arabella inferred, as she looked at Becka and Frances.
ÔYeah... Help me up!Õ Frances stretched out her arms, and Becka pulled her up.
With all of the commotion, Christina woke up. ÔQuidditch?Õ she asked.
ÔPractice... yeah... want to come?Õ Becka asked.
ÔOk...Õ Whilst the other angels dressed, Becka helped a tired Frances into her robes.
ÔCool... letÕs go!Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The girls ran downstairs, whilst Becka and Frances sped ahead. They were already late enough...
On the Quidditch pitch, the Gryffindor team waited patiently. Finally, their seeker, and last chaser arrived.
ÔSorry weÕre late...Õ Becka and Frances gasped.
ÔThatÕs all right, oh Lily! Arabella! Christina! You guys can sit in the stands, for now =)Õ Jamie grinned.
ÔNow... weÕre going to play a mock game, with 6 people, one person will be off to come on later.
Now...
Team A:
Becka-Seeker
Sirius- Beater
Frances- Chaser.
Team B:
James- Seeker
Angelica- Chaser
And
Matt- Beater.
ÔIÕll go off and ref this match. You have no keeper so I suggest that you make an effort to block your goal hoops. LetÕs PLAAAAAAAY BAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!Õ
Jamie released the snitch, and threw the quaffle in the air. Sirius and Matt got ready as the bludgers got set free.
Frances had the quaffle and was swerving around a persistent Angelica.
ÔTEAM A SCORES!Õ Jamie cried, as Frances punched the air.
Sirius, flew around, and whacked a bludger at James (A/N he-he-he). Matt flew up and blocked it.
ÔDamn!Õ Sirius growled.
Becka was up in the air, tense, as she tried to spot the snitch.
ÔAlright there Stockaz?Õ James asked. ÔNice try,Õ Becka noticed the snitch dancing around, a few hundred feet from JamesÕ head. She lunged, and her broom sped into action. She dove after the snitch, and caught it in her hand.
ÔTEAM A WINS!Õ Jamie cried proudly, as everyone landed.
ÔOk... now weÕll work on skills...Õ

Soon, it was time for breakfast, and the Gryffindor team trudged off to the change rooms... that is, except for the girls. Frances and Becka always stayed clean in the air, in practice, because they didnÕt fall off their brooms =).
The girls trudged off to breakfast, and chatted happily. ÔHey, whoÕs that hot beater that was on team B?Õ Christina asked.
ÔOh... thatÕs Matt... Matt Ryan...Õ Why?Õ Becka replied.
ÔI think heÕs hot...Õ Christina replied dreamily. ÔWait... did you see James Potter... Or Sirius Black?Õ Lily asked.
ÔYeah...Õ Christina replied.
ÔAnd youÕre not swooning over them?Õ Frances continued.
ÔNo...Õ
ÔYes! WeÕve found someone else normal!!!!Õ Lily exclaimed.
ÔHey! SiriusÕ isnÕt like that anymore! Notice! IÕm the longest running of his girlfriends? At 6 weeks?Õ Becka cried.
ÔOk... fine... theyÕre normal if they donÕt swoon over James potter...Õ Lily replied, ÔCome on! Breakfast time!Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
The boys from the team were changing into normal clothes back in the change room.
ÔHey Matt! Did you see the new girl? She was baring holes in you. She totally couldnÕt stop staring!Õ Sirius exclaimed.
ÔWho... Christina? Yeah... I reckon sheÕs pretty cute...Õ
ÔOh... so youÕve dropped your stupid crush on Lily Evans now have you?Õ Sirius asked.
James dropped his broom.
ÔNah... LilyÕs really hot... but I reckon ChristinaÕs cute too. Whoever I swoon first... I guess...Õ Matt replied, as he pulled his white T-shirt over his well-built body.
Ô Yeah... I suppose... Oy James! Hurry Up!Õ Sirius pulled his shirt over his well-built body, and James followed suit. (A/N IÕm only doing this so later in the story you can relate to Lily etc when they do something...not telling what!)

The weeks rolled by quickly, and soon it was a week before their first camp.
ÔMuggle first... isnÕt it?Õ Lily asked her friends. ÔYeah... to Teen Ranch... I think...Õ Becka replied.
ÔCool... Now... back to studying!Õ
The girls were sitting in the library, preparing for their OWLs trials. Sure, it wasnÕt for a few months, but the Angels were the brightest girls of their year, and there was no harm in being prepared...
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
ÔOooh! Camp next week!Õ Sirius exclaimed happily to his friends. ÔYeah... what cabin are we in again? Rabble-rouser?Õ James asked Remus.
ÔYeah...Õ ÔOk... now hereÕs what I thought... WeÕll prank the Slytherins by...Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Soon, camp time rolled around, and the 5th years were eager to go.
ÔOK! You will be placed in pairs... of the Boy/girl variety... The people shall be from you cabinÉÕ Professor McGonagall exclaimed over the noise. All fell quiet and she proceeded to pair people off.
ÒPlease not Stephanie... Please!Ó James thought to himself.
ÒPlease not James... Please not James!Ó Lily begged her mind. ÔLily Evans you are with...Õ
~ * ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ * ~
Mwhahahahahahaha! My first actual cliff-hanger!!!! Wow... I feel so special...
Will Lily be with James? Will Stephanie be an ass and ruin the whole camp? Will Gryffindor win the quidditch cup?
Tune in next time, on
The unexpected... or so they think...
Mwhahahahahahaha!
