Chapter Eight
Seven weeks later everyone assembled at the quidditch pitch.
James, Sirius,Remus, Peter,Lily, and Lizzy were all sitting together in the stands as Gryffondor scored making thr score 30-10 for Gryffondor.
"I wish I could play on the team," asid James.
"Ya, me too," said Sirius
"Aren't some of the players in their seventh year?" asked Remus.
"Ya, why?" asked Sirius.
"They'll have tryouts next year!" excliamed Lily her eyes still on the game.
"And you two can try out," said Lizzy finishing Lily's sentance, her eyes glued on the match.
"Good idea," said James.
"Look at the seekers!" exclaimed Peter.
The two seekers had plunged into a dive, side by side, stiving to get the snitch. Suddenly the seeker rocketed up and the Gryffondor seeker followed it, but the Slytherin seeked droped headfirst into the ground as the the Gryffondor seeker caught the snitch.
Everyone but the Slytherins cheered.

The bell rang for the end of classes on Friday.
"Yes!" yelled James and Sirius. It was the end of last class before the Christmas break. All five of them were going home for Christmas. The train would be leaving the next day.
James, Sirius, and Remus started to run out the door when Lily called," Wherer are you going?"
"SNOWBALL FIGHT!" exclamied Sirius.
"Haven't you got to pack?" asked Lizzy.
"Uhh, we alerady packed!" stammered Sirius disapearing from sight.
"Ya, if the've packed Petunia is an angel!" said Lily disbeleivingly.
The two girls walked back to the common room, "I guess we should pack," said Lizzy climbing the stairs.
"Ya, but first lets go see if the boys have packed!" said Lily turning towards the boys dorm. To thier surprise Remus and James had packed, but Sirius, of course, had his things all over the floor.
"Jee, Sirius packs weel," Lily commented.
"Come on, " said Lizzy heading towards the door," let's go pack our stuff."

At dinner that evening Hannah and Madison sat by Lily and Lizzy.
"Hey Lily?" asked Hannah," are you and Lizzy going home for Christmas?"
"Yep," said Lily.
"Oh,good," said Hannah with relief.
"Why?"asked Lizzy
"Every year my parents invite everyone on the block to a Christmas party, so that means that a whole bunch of James' demented friends come over," said Hannah," and Narcissia never comes because she likes to stay home and doesn't beleive in Christmas."
"Well that's good that Narcissia doesn't come," said Lily, "and now we know we'll be spending Christmas with another girl instead of with a whole bunch of pesky boys!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"All aboard!" exclaimed a man standing by the Hogwarts Express, " The train leaves in 5 minutes!"
"Let's find a seat together!" said Hannah.
"OK," said Lily and Lizzy together.
On the train ride back to the King's Cross Station they had a few visitors including James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, Madision ( who came to sit with them permenetly), and to their discust Amber and Adrian, and Severus, Lucius, and Lucius's new girlfriend Kim.
With Hannah in the compartment Amber and Adrian didn't do anything rude because they thought it would ruin thier chances with James because Hannah was his sister, Severus and Lucius were thier same rude selves, with the same snide remarks as Kim stood laughing at thier jokes.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When they got to the station Matt picked all of them up and took them home. When everyone else was home Lily walked into the house and was very shocked. Matt had re-decorated the house and it looked wonderful.
"Wow dad!" said Lily," the house looks great!"
"Glad you like it!" said Matt grining," now how about some supper after we hang up our stocking?"
"It sound good," said Lily.
Lily went to bed early that night knowing that tomarrow would be a long day. Being at the Potter's for Christmas would not be dull. She had to be ready for anything....
