"Grweet!" Sirius exclaimed, his mouth still full of pancake.
"I think Sirius means 'great', and I agree! Let's go!" James said, and Sirius this time hoisted her over his shoulder. James led the way down into the backyard, and after they had walked (well, Lily was carried, but the guys walked) for about 10 minutes (Whoa! James' backyard is HUGE! Lily thought) they came to a life size replica of the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch, decorated in red and gold flags with the Gryffindor lion on them. Lily's jaw dropped, and James and Sirius walked over to the broom-shed, and opened the door, but there weren't any brooms!
"Uh, James, there's no brooms in here." Lily stated.
"Not yet! Three Comet 260s!" Suddenly, three of the fastest brooms on the market appeared in front of them.
"Ok, that was REALLY cool." Lily said, and James grinned. The brooms hovered in the air, and Sirius placed Lily on one, and then he and James went on the other two. Before they knew it, they were off into the air, and Lily had a Quaffle she had taken out of the shed (it had appeared with the brooms).
"How are we going to pick teams?" James asked. "There's an odd number."
"Me against you two!" Lily said, a mischievous glint in her eye.
"Evans, prepared to be crushed! James and I are on the Quidditch team!" Sirius boasted.
"Just to be nice, you can start with the Quaffle, Evans." In the blink of an eye, Lily was at the other
end of the pitch and had scored.
"10 to nothing for me!" Lily grinned, and James and Sirius just grinned back, but evilly. The match went
on like this, but to the boys surprise, Lily was winning! After a few hours, Mrs. Potter called them
back in.
"How'd the match go?" Mrs. Potter asked.
"Great! I won!" Lily smiled, and Mrs. Potter laughed.
"That-a-girl! How much did you win by?" She asked.
"260 to zero..." Sirius grumbled. Mrs. Potter and Lily high fived.
"If you're going to gloat about it, you can at least wait until after I've put you down," James complained.
"Stop whining James, you know you love having Lily on your back!" Mrs. Potter told him. James blushed and
shut up.
"Aww, our little Jamsie-poo really DOES love it and he knows it!" Sirius teased.
"Shut up Sirius, I'm not the one who wouldn't take the Quaffle out of Evans' hands!" Sirius also shut up
at this comment.
"James, we better start calling each other by our first names, because it's going to get confusing with all
of the Potters running around!" James grinned as Lily said this.
"Alright then, LLLLiiiiilllllyyyyyy!" He dragged out her first name.
"Fine, JJJJJJJaaaammmmeeesss!" She said, making fun of him.
"Now that we've got that cleared up, I have an important announcement to make!" Sirius said.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"I have figured out the ultimate revenge on James for embarrassing me at the end of term last year!" He
smiled widely.
"What?" Lily asked.
"Ms. Lily Evans, will you go out with me?" Sirius asked.
"Oh, darling, I've been wanting to go out with you for years, you sexy beast!" Lily replied as James' face went from grinning to horror. After a moment,
Susan, Lily, and Sirius broke out laughing. "That-was-priceless!" She managed to get out.
"What was? I don't see what's so funny!" James fumed.
"That was all set up, Sirius had talked to me at the end of term last year after his embarrassing moment,
and we were going to do it in front of the entire school, but apparently Sirius thought it the sooner
the better!" Lily grinned as his face relaxed.
"So you're not going out?" He asked.
"Damn, you're slow, of course we are!" Sirius said as James went wide eyed. "Just kidding mate!"
