Chapter 5: Quidditch

James Potter was in the Great Hall, everybody was eating their breakfast or chatting with their friends, but he was far from hungry. He was very worried about his game today against the Slytherin and his heart was beating so fast. But it became faster when he saw that Lily was going to approach him.

" Hi James! Good luck with your game today! Don't let Slytherin beat us." Lily said cheerfully and walked away.

James then went to the quidditch pitch to meet with his teammates. He carelessly left his broom on the side of the door.

" Hey Malfoy!" a hushed voice broke the silence that was enveloping the area. " Here is Potter's broom."

" Give it to me!" a snide voice said and muttered an incantation. He returned the broom and quickly left as the people were starting to fill the pit.

James got to his broom and watched the game. They were om the lead with the score 110-90.

He knew that he needed to get the snitch to win. He was deep in thought when a glittering gold thing went past him. It was the snitch! He went in top speed as the other seeker tried to catch the snitch too. As he was about to grab it his broom suddenly exploded and threw him a hundred feet from the ground.

As he was lying flat on his back not feeling the pain yet he was shocked to see what happened next. When his broom exploded, in red and gold letters it said for the whole school to see; " LILY EVANS IS THE UGLIEST GIRL HERE. SHE LOOKS LIKE A STUPID SLUG. SHE IS SO STUPID!"

Lily couldn't believe what she saw. James Potter just embarrassed her to the whole school. Her eyes were filled with tears as she ran and cried.

James could feel the pain in his arms and legs as he stood up. He tried to get himself up by shifting his weight on his right arm and saw that there was a glittering thing between his fingers. It was the snitch! The Gryffndors erupted in cheer. The game was over and they one. He searched the pit for Lily but saw her running past the crowd.

He stood up and ran after her. He went straight to the library and saw Lily in one of the chairs slumped and was crying. He approached her and touched her hand. He said

" Lily, I'm sorry…"

" Don't touch me! No, Stop. I HATE YOU. How dare you do that to me! Over my dead body that I would go to the Yule Ball with you!"

" But Malfoy framed me…" James tried to argue.

" No Potter!" and Lily ran to her dormitory.

James then fell. He felt a jolt of pain overtaking his body. Madam Promfrey immediately went to his side and said " Locomotor James Potter"

James was lifted from the ground and he could hear Madam Promfrey saying " This boy is crazy… running with broken bones…"

He stayed in the hospital wing for five days and was discharged when it was time for Muggle Studies.
