Sorry it has taken so long to update.
Chapter VIII
James was thoroughly excited for his first flying lesson. James of course flew with his father throughout all of his childhood and planned on trying out for the Gryffindor team next year. Sirius was also excited and Remus seemed more intrigued than anything. Peter however, was horrified.
As the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherins entered the Quidditch field, James finally saw his entire year. Next to every student, there was an old broomstick. Madam Hooch then entered the field and commanded everyone to exclaim "up."
"UP!" chorused everyone. James and Sirius were the only two students whose brooms came at once. James looked around. Several Ravenclaws seemed to get a handle on their brooms then Lily Evans managed on her second try, Remus on his third, until Peter and Snape were the only two who still couldn't manage to get their brooms off the ground. Finally, Peter's broom came up so violently that it knocked him out cold. While Madam Hooch rushed over to him, she conjured a stretcher and rushed him to the hospital wing. Sirius and James spotted Snape bend over and pick up his broom.
"HAHA! Look at Snape! He had to pick up his broom!" Yelled Sirius.
"Yeah, poor ickle Serverus!" Chimed in James, "Maybe your hand is so greasy even the broom won't go near it!"
"Shut up!" Screamed Snape. "I'll show you all!" He then jumped on the broom and attempted to fly. However, the moment he got on the broom started behaving strangely. It reared Snape back and forth and up and down. Snape was barely holding on to the broom. The entire first year was laughing hysterically as Madam Hooch again approached the field with rage in her eyes.
"You there! Boy! Get off that broom this instant!" Obviously, at that point Snape was doing all he could to regain control of his broom and safely return to the ground. Madam Hooch herself had to get on a broom and safely escort Snape down to the ground. Half of the year was now on the ground laughing.
"Ha, what a stupid git." Sirius said 20 minutes later as they walked back to their common rooms. "Honestly who could make a fool of himself better than Severus Snape."
"Yeah, awfully stupid." James replied.
"Well maybe he wouldn't have to prove himself so often if you guys would stop egging him on," a voice behind him stated. James immediately turned around and found himself staring into a pair of sparkling green eyes that now were quite upset.
"Don't worry so much about Snape, Lily. Leave it to Sirius and I." James stated with a smile. This apparently, was not the answer she was looking for. She then turned around on her heel and stormed off with her friends trailing behind her.
"What's with her?" Sirius asked
"No clue." James said.
"Girls." They said together.
