I'm still going to continue adding to this but I've changed me mind about one thing, I'm going to separate it into chapters instead of keeping it as one consecutive document. They will most likely be very short chapters. I hope you all enjoy this!!! Please R&R! Oh, and if any of you remember the name of the Caretaker during the Potter's time at school, please tell me! If anyone has a better idea for a title, I'm open to suggestions!!!

"And, I don't believe it!" the announcer's voice rang out over the filled stadium, "Potter's caught the snitch! Only 5 minutes into the game and Potter's already caught the snitch! Gryffindor wins!"
A red and gold wave of color exploded in the stands, applauding for their team's victory as James Potter flew around the stadium, raising his right hand; the hand that triumphantly clutched the struggling snitch.
"James! That was brilliant!" Remus Lupin shouted over the din as is friend landed on dampened spring grass.
"Barking mad!" Sirius Black laughed as he ruffled his friend's already untidy hair. "Did you see the look on Snivellus' face?"
"Bet he was furious!" James sang gleefully.
"No, you only grabbed the snitch before the Slytherin's seeker had kicked off the ground." Sirius rolled his eyes while Peter Pettigrew, Wormtail, giggled insanely. Staring disgustedly at Wormtail, Sirius suggested James change out of his Quidditch robes and join the others in the common room where there was undoubtedly a party waiting for him.
"Yeah, and Evans will be waiting for you," Remus teased.
James tried to cast a bewildered look at Lupin but as much as he tried, he couldn't hide his growing smile. "And why would I care if Evans was there?" He attempted to yell as his friends, grinning, shoved him into the Quidditch changing room.

"Password?" The Pink Lady asked James when he approached.
"Bezoar," he ran his hand through his hair, messing it up even more, as the portrait swung open, revealing a room dripping with Gryffindor flags and banners.
"And here he is!" Arthur Weasely cried, "The star of the Quidditch field himself, Jaaaaaaames Potter!" The room erupted in cheers as James stepped through the threshold, performing mock bows for his audience. People laughed at his usual antics then continued on with their previous conversations.
Glancing around the crowded common room, James searched for a glimpse of Evans, Lily Evans. Then suddenly, there she was, standing by the fire, sipping punch with her friend, Maren Goldberg. "She's so beautiful," he whispered to himself. Her red hair fell thickly around her shoulders, setting off her stunning green eyes. Catching her eye, he had just raised his arm to wave when he was surrounded by his friends. It was possibly the one time in his life that he was not glad to see them.
"Prongs! What are you standing in the doorway for?" Sirius questioned.
Tracing the path of James' gaze, Remus suggested: "He was staring at Evans."
The grin faded from Sirius' face. "That's it? You ditching us for her?"
"Sirius, that's not true and you know it!" Remus tried to warn and console him at the same time.
"Ok, ok," Sirius gave in, "but why are you wasting your time on Evans? There are plenty of hot girls waiting for us over there," he gestured to a group of attractive girls who giggled and waved back.
"You mean a group of girls waiting for you," James smirked. No boy would ever manage Sirius' good looks. The way his dark hair fell over is eyes seemed to attract all the Hogwarts girls, no matter what age or house.
"Yeah," he grinned, "but I can't have all of them, there's plenty to go around!"
James laughed and allowed Sirius to drag him and Remus towards the group of coquettish girls as Wormtail trailed behind.
"So what if I hang with other girls?" James thought to himself. "Maybe Lily will see how desired I am and finally realize what she's missing."
Though the majority of the girls spent the evening hanging all over Sirius, a couple were willing to flirt with the Quidditch star, and a bookworm, Christyai, spent the evening immersed in a conversation with Lupin. Even Peter managed to get some attention from some of the shier girls. James was enjoying the intense flirting so much he even managed to forget about Lily for an hour or two. That is, he managed to forget about her until 2 A.M. when the four boys retired to the 7th year dormitories, allowing his mind to be freed from the thoughts of flirting girls and filled with dreams of Lily Evans. As he crashed onto the bed that would one day belong to his future son, James found that sleep would not come. Instead, he was filled with unavoidable thoughts of Lily.
Closing his eyes, desirable fantasies flowed into his mind. Lily was standing with a group of girls, giggling at the hilarious joke he had made - Him stepping off his broom, triumphantly raising the Quidditch cup as Lily ran up and kissed his cheek - He was asking her on a date and she was accepting - smiling to himself at those impossibilities, James finally fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
