End of Last Chapter:

"Fine then. Keep your secrets!" James muttered seeing as he wasn't getting anything out of the stubborn red head.

"Thank you, I think I will." Lily said closing her book.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What book is that?" he asked changing the subject.

"Oh, The Two Towers." Lily answered, looking at the pitiful looking book.

"Language?" He asked, knowing Lily would take the hard way and read it in another language.

"You know me too well, Mr. Potter." She laughed. "Russian this time."

"Geez, how many sets did you bring with you?" he asked, for he had seen her reading the trilogy in pretty much any language you could name.

"Umm about 5-6 I think, so about 15-18 books, though I've never really counted." She replied.

"Do they all look as bad as that one?" he asked.

Lily blushed, "Yeah, I've had them for who knows how long, and have read them countless times."

"Are you staying over during Christmas Break?"

"Yeah, my sister has the chicken pox, and since I've never had them, I have to stay here."

"Chicken Pox?" he asked confused.

Lily spent the next few minutes explaining chicken pox to James, until Sarah and Mariko came down stairs, then Lily went to breakfast, again.

The next few weeks went fairly well, teachers were giving out more and more homework, Elijah Chang was insisting practices become longer and harder, since their first match was a week before Christmas break, and Lily still hadn't found out anything about the Sred Nowsdl Row.

The morning of the Quidditch match, Gryffindor versus Slytherin, was nerve racking for everyone but Lily, who never seemed to be nervous, or at least, never let it show.

"You guys should eat something." Lily pointed out, filling her plate with waffles and bacon.

"Oh shut it Lily. Just cause we don't have nerves of steel like you, doesn't give you room to talk." James said a bit miffed.

"Ok." Lily submitted, knowing this wasn't the time to argue.

The team was gathered in the locker rooms for their pre-game talk.

"Guys, I don't really need to say much, except, you guys are the best team we could ever have. Lily is a wonderful keeper, James is the best seeker we could have, Justin and Kasandra are a pair of bludgers themselves, and Sirius and Mariko are darn good chasers."

"You're good to Elijah." Lily said confidently.

"We will go out there and clean the pitch with them!" he yelled.

"Unless Snape is out there, then it'll only make it worse, with that greasy hair." Lily muttered to Mariko, who laughed nervously.

"So, less go!" Elijah called out.

"Here's Gryffindor! Potter, Black, Nagano, Chang, Burke, Phillips, aaaaaand Evans!" a third year Hufflepuff was commentating being watched by the stern Professor O'Neil.

"Slytherin members being: Malfoy, Crabbe, Nott, Avery, Macnair, Rosier, and Lestrange."

"Madam Hooch releases the quaffle and the game has begun! Chang grabs the quaffle passes to Nagano, throws to Black who scores! 10-0 Gryffindor! Lestrange throws the quaffle to Avery who passes to Nott who attempts to score and-BLOCKED by Evans. Who throws to Nagano who races up the field- dodging a bludger, which is returned by Burke. Too bad, it misses Malfoy, who seems to be trailing Potter."

Twenty minutes later "Rosier calls a time out. And the score is 120-0 Gryffindor, all thanks to one superb keeper they've got, plus their three excellent chasers. "

"Lily, keep it up but watch out, their going to be coming after you. Phillips, I want you to try and stay back there. James, try to catch that snitch, cause now's when they're going to start playing dirty." Elijah said.

"Quaffle to Black to Nagano, she really needs an easier name, anyways, Nagano shoots and scores, 130-0 Gryffindor. Lestrange, you better start blocking SOME shots from those chasers. Burke hits a bludger at Malfoy, who gets hit in the arm. Hope it broke something. Sorry Professor. Evans blocks a shot from Nott, throws quaffle to Chang who dodges a bludger and Potter is diving-is it the snitch? Macnair sends a bludger Potter's way causing the snitch to rocket away. Crabbe in possession of the quaffle. Macnair and Rosier hit both bludgers at Evans who catches both in her stomach; As Crabbe throws the quaffle into the ring. 140-10 Gryffindor. Evans is amazingly all right. Madam Hooch awards a Gryffindor a penalty shot Nagano shoots and SHE SCORES! Score now 150-10. Malfoy better catch that snitch now if he wants his team to win. Quaffle to Black to Nagano to Chang to Nagano to Chang to Black who scores! 160-10! Potter dives Malfoy trailing…does he get it? He does! Potter gets the snitch 150 points to Gryffindor! Gryffindor wins 310-10! "

The crowd poured onto the field to congratulate the team.

"Party in the Gryffindor Common Room!" someone yelled.

The team and crowd entered the common room to find a huge table laden with food nicked from the kitchen, and it looked like half of Honeydukes was there also. People were milling around talking but when the Quidditch members walked into the room there was a tumult of cheers, along with red and gold fireworks.

Ok, I need some help… well kinda… I reread the whole story that I have written so far… all one hundred and some pages of it… and I was thinking that some of the stuff these guys go through is pretty intense for a bunch of first years. Plus I have a bit of chemistry going on between some of the characters, if you haven't noticed. So! I was thinking about rewriting the first few chapters to make the group in about their third year or so. What do you think?

Oh, and please review! I'll love you forever and ever if you do! And I'll give you…. Food… everyone loves food!
