At the end of another long day, James rumpled his hair as he walked over to his team at the quidditch pitch.
"Okay then, everyone up in the air for some passing drills." he said as everyone mounted their brooms and took off. he passed the quaffle to Veronica, who passed it to Sirius.
"Are you sure you don't want to see what I have to say at least?" asked Sirius.
"I am sure thanks." said Veronica politely.
"Awe c'mon." said Sirius as he put on his best, lady killer smile. Veronica practically melted off of her broom.
"I guess... I could just stop by for a bit.." she smiled as she pushed some of the hair out of her face and looked away quickly.
"See ya then." smiled Sirius as he flew off. "Its been a while since I have made a pretty girl smile.." he thought silently.
"If that smile didn't kill her I don't know what will." said James as Sirius flew over.
"She said Yes." said Sirius.
"To a date?" questioned James.
"Not... quite... yet." said Sirius as he thought for a moment. "But she will."
"Whatever you say." said James as he caught the quaffle again.
James called off practice about an hour later, than he ran off to his tutoring session with Lily.
"Hey Lils." he said with a flirty smile. "Cant wait for the ball."
"I can." sighed Lily as they walked into the library. "So, I know all about how you try to do bad on purpose to upset Lavalus, which is kinda funny..." she was rambling and staring into his chocolate brown eyes, which were filled with amusement. "And so I don't need to teach you much, but since we have to do this thing then we should be quick so we can catch dinner..."
"Lils, I have a better idea."
"What?"
"Let's just sneak off to the kitchens, then come back before the prefects meeting." smiled James mischievously.
"You are sooo irresponsible!" gasped Lily.
"Come on." he said, and before she could argue, he grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the library.
"How do you get into the kitchens?" asked Lily.
"Easily." said James as he tickled the pear on the fruit painting and pulled Lily inside.
"MISTER POTTER!" squeaked an excited little house elf as soon as James entered the kitchen.
"Hello Didi. Do you mind getting us some dinner?" asked James nicely.
"Yes Mr. Potter." squealed the house elf as she hurried to obey.
"You are well known around here aren't you?" asked Lily.
"Yeah I come here a lot." shrugged James as they sat down at a small table and began eating the food that some of the elves put down.
"So this is where you are when you aren't at dinner all those times." thought Lily aloud.
"You actually notice when I'm not there?" chuckled James.
"Only because you aren't harassing me then." Lily covered up quickly.
"So I really annoy you that much?"
"No, I like you. As a friend." said Lily. She stared at James and his expression of happiness
After eating and thanking the house elves, they set off towards the common room.
"Thanks James." said Lily.
"No prob. So you wanna be my girlfriend?"
"No." said Lily. "I mean, the only reason we are going to the ball together is because we are Head Girl and Head Boy."
"Yeah.." said James as he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.
"I mean, you aren't really as self conceited as I though." said Lily. "You're actually nice. In a someone else's boyfriend kinda way."
"Oh..." said James.
"Well... Good luck in the quidditch match tomorrow." said Lily quickly as she walked up the stairs to her dorm. He mumbled a goodbye and ran up the stairs leading to the boy's dorms.
"Hey Jamesie. Did Lily refuse to be your girlfriend like she does every day?" asked Sirius as james walked in
"Yeah." sighed James. "But she said that I wasn't as self conceited as usual." he added with a smile as he rumpled his hair.
"Cool." said Remus. "But mabey you should stop pestering her everyday. I mean, let her come to you."
"Like you played cool with Dev?" asked James. Remus blushed 20 shades of red.
"Exactly." said Sirius as he ate a chocolate frog's head. "Fwat fwime fwis fwit?" he asked with his mouth full.
"About 10 minutes to 11." said James as he looked at the clock.
"OH NO! I didn't even start getting ready!" gasped Sirius as he got up, but tripped over some magazines.
"What's your game plan?" asked James.
"Pickup line!" said Sirius excitedly as he combed his hair.
"That will never work...." said Remus.
"Sure it will!" said Sirius.
"When has it ever worked?" laughed James.
"You will see!" cheered Sirius as he ran down the stairs in his boxers.
"Looks like he forgot something." chuckled Remus.
Veronica was sitting in an armchair waiting. She raised her eyebrows with amusement as he walked in.
"If one leg is Easter and the other is Christmas can we spend some time between the holidays??" asked Sirius.
Veronica laughed. "If that's what you came to tell me I am going back to bed." she said as she got up.
"Will you be my girlfriend??" he asked.
"No." chuckled Veronica. "And next time you wanna try out some pickup lines, wear pants."
Sirius looked down at his boxers. "You don't like my boxers?" he asked with an expression of hurt.
"Well, yeah they are just wonderful." cheered Veronica falsely. "Now I am going to bed."
"No! Wait!" said Sirius as he tried to grab her arm, but she swerved out of the way. After one last smile, she walked up to her room again. Sirius sighed and went back up to his dorm too.
"Did it work?" asked Remus.
"No." frowned Sirius as he laid down on the bed face down.
"I would say I told you so, but that may be a little harsh." Remus whispered to James, who nodded.
"Well, better get some sleep, Quidditch tomorrow." said James loudly.
"Yeah." sighed Sirius absentmindedly as he drifted off to sleep. James and Remus soon followed in suit.
The next morning was the big Quidditch match, and James arrived fashionably late so he could soak up all of the tremendous applause as he strutted in.
"Hey Potter, your nose is so high in the air that if it rains your gonna drown." sneered Snape.
"Oh really? No problems here, the weather is s'posed to be sunny." said James as he shot a curse at Snape, causing him to curl up and turn into a snail. Everyone laughed.
"Hey." said Veronica as James sat down.
"Hey did you get around to rigging the bludgers yet?" joked James.
"Not yet." smiled Veronica mischievously.
"Hey Vee remember, if you win I got homework for the week." said a tall boy who had wandered over from the Hufflepuff table.
"You got it!" winked Veronica.
"Who is that?" asked Sirius. "Boyfriend?"
"FYI mister I am too good to spell anonymous right and wear pants, he is my brother."
"Oh." said Sirius with a look of relief on his face.
"So Lily, are you coming to the match?" asked James.
"Yeah.." said Lily.
"Good. I'll catch the snitch just for you." he said with a wink while walking out to the pitch with veronica, Sirius, and the other team members.
Lily, Remus and Devonny walked out onto the grounds and over towards the quidditch pitch about 10 minutes later. It was a really exciting match, and the score was tied at Gryffindor 30 and Hufflepuff 30 when James saw the snitch.
"And James Potter has seen the snitch! Nice bludger from Keerner, but not close enough... he is in a dive now, and he's got it!" boomed the loudspeaker as James pulled out of the dive with the snitch wriggling in his hand. "And ooh my! Keerner has just shot an illegal bludger at Skyy, the Gryffindor chaser, and her ankle is at an odd angle now."
Veronica looked down at her ankle, where the bludger had hit, and her bone was clearly snapped in half. She swore under her breath as she flew downward and jumped onto the ground.
"Shit I cant walk." she moaned while holding onto her hovering broom for support.
"Someone help her walk." ordered James as he let the snitch go and looked at Veronica's ankle.
"Allow me!" cheered Sirius as he scooped her up in his arms and ran her towards the castle.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD! YOU PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!" yelled Veronica as Sirius continued carrying her.
"Sirius is asking for trouble." said Devonny as he shook his head. "Once she can walk he is gonna have hell to pay."
"Yeah I know. He just doesn't give up." said Remus with a frown.
"Oh well. I'm cold, lets go drink hot chocolate!" said Devonny as she, Remus, Tori and Adele strolled across the ground chatting about if they preferred marshmallows or whipped cream.
"Nice catch Potter." said Lily as she walked up beside him.
"Thanks Evans. So what do you say me and you get together on the Hogsmeade weekend and buy our outfits for the ball?" he asked.
"Well mabey we could hang out for a little while, but that's it." smiled Lily. "As friends."
"Fair enough!" said James as eh and Lily caught up to the others.
"Madame Pomphrey I am fine! Please just let me go!" whined Veronica as magical ropes bound her tightly to her bed. Sirius had managed to transport her to the hospital wing, and madame Pomphrey was not tending to her injury.
"Not until you are healed." said Madame Pomprhrey. Just then, James and Lily walked in.
"Hey." said Veronica in a sugar coated voice.
"Is your ankle okay?" asked James.
"Just frickin peachy. I just really want to go." she said as she struggled against the ropes, which just tightened more.
"You still cant walk dear, wait until I get the proper potion.." said Madame Pomphrey as she bustled away.
"Oh yes and Sirius, it would be wise not to be in a 100 foot radius of me once I can walk." said Veronica darkly.
"I did you a favor." said Sirius with a frown. Veronica scoffed.
"We brought you chocolate frogs." said Lily. "You are probably hungry."
"My arms are attached behind my back." said Veronica crossly.
"I can feed you!" said Sirius excitedly.
"I will starve thank you very-" began Veronica, but Sirius stuffed a frog in her mouth.
"We will go now, just wanted to make sure you were okay." said Lily as she grabbed James' arm and pulled him out.
"FWAIT FWELP FWEEE! FWOLY FWIT!" yelled Veronica with her mouth full of squirming chocolate.
"When will he learn?" asked James with a smile.
"Never it seems. By the way, did you see where Dev and Remus ran off to?" asked Lily.
"Something about helping her with her homework in the library." said James as he rumpled his hair, yet again.
"Probably having a snog fest, knowing Dev." smirked Lily.
"If so then Remus has really changed." said James.
"I remember when we were close friends in first year, he thought pretty girls had cooties." smiled Lily.
"Yeah." said James as they walked along in the hall. "Do you know what is left to do for the ball?"
"You would know if you ever paid attention at the meetings." said Lily crossly.
"Yes mom." mumbled James.
"I am not your mom." said Lily as she playfully smacked James' arm. After seeing this, Professor McGonagall dropped all of the papers that she was holding.
"Did she.... and he..... I need a vacation, either that or a stronger glasses prescription." said McGonagall as she rubbed her eyes and collected her papers.
"We still need to choose decorations." said Lily. "So just don't miss the last meeting."
"Yes Lilyflower." whispered James as he stared into her sparkling emerald eyes. She looked back at him, and was momentarily dazed. He leaned forward, but she dropped her books and bent down to get them before their lips met.
"Drats..." muttered James under his breath.
"Erm...... see you later..." said Lily as she ran off towards the common room.
James sighed and walked the opposite way.
Meanwhile, Devonny and Remus were in the library, actually studying, when Devonny spoke up.
"Wanna go back to the common room now?" she asked. "My brain hurts from studying.."
"Sure." said Remus.
"I have an idea." said Devonny as she twirled a strand of her straight brown hair.
"What?" asked Remus.
"Well lets pretend that you put a spell on me and I cant talk and we cant fix it, so we can go asking people for help, and I will pretend to be something really odd. It will be a laugh." said Devonny.
"Ok, I am actually feeling a bit.... well in the mood for a joke." said Remus as they put the silencing spell on themselves and ran up to some scared looking 2nd year Ravenclaw girls.
"I put on this silencing spell and I can't get it off.... so can you help me figure out what she is saying?" asked Remus.
"OO I get it! Charades!" said a pudgy girl with curly blonde hair. Devonny pulled her hair up to simulate pigtails as she hopped around pathetically.
"A Hippo!" cheered a tall girl with black hair.
"Hm..... Professor Lavalus?" asked the pudgy girl. Remus was hysterical and Devonny soon fell over from laughing so much.
"I was supposed to be a rabbit!" said Devonny. After that, the girls realized the joke and walked away disgusted.
"That was fun!" laughed Remus.
"I know." said Devonny as she wiped tears of laughter out of her eyes. "You know what else is fun?" she asked in a very sexy voice.
Remus shook his head, then Devonny grabbed him and pulled him into a broom closet with her.
Back in the hospital wing, madame Pomphrey had finally found the right potion. "Okay dear." she trilled . "Drink this." she shoved Sirius out of the way and stuck the bottle in Veronica's mouth. her foot flew back into it's regular place. She wrapped it up in a hard cast to prevent injury. "You need this cast until the potion takes full affect, you can take it off later tonight. And you are gonna be sore, so no Quidditch for a week."
"WHAT?" screamed Veronica. "I told you I am fine!"
Madame Pomphrey undid the magical binds. "Mister Black, just make sure she gets to the tower for some rest." said the nurse as she left again.
Veronica got up and hobbled as fat as she could to the door.
"Wait up!" yelled Sirius as he ran after her. Professor McGonagall passed by and saw Veronica hobbling away and Sirius chasing her.
"I didn't know Dumbledore had authorized tag games as inter corridor events for the crippled....." she shrugged to herself.
La la la review please! Or I may have to cry, and nobody really wants that....... xD
