(An: ok, I know that people keep losing there places cuz all my writing is one big paragraph and I want to apologize for that, my return button doesn't work sometimes and it's really frustrating. Im trying to fix it so bear with with me. Anyways on with chapter 7!)

Lily walked onto the field behind James and Sirius carrying her shooting star, (the newest racing broom model), with Emily walking next to her with Kathleen Taylor, Debbie Taylor (the other chasers) and Peter Wood (the keeper) walked in the back.

As Lily got into position, she looked around.

She felt so small looking up at the stands where the rest of the school was sitting.

Hogwarts was so much bigger than Abby, but she took a deep breath and tried to put her fears to the back of her mind as Mme Delwo put the whistle to her lips.

The whistle sounded and with a cheer from the crowd, fourteen brooms flew into the air.

Kathleen quickly had the quaffle and immediately went towards the Slytherin goal posts with Lily and Debbie close behind.

The got into position as Kathleen passed it to Lily, who passed it to Debbie, who went for a goal and-

"And GRIFFINDOR SCORES! 10-0 Griffindor!" yelled the Remus who was the announcer.

The girls gave each other high fives and quickly went back into position as Slytherin took control of the ball.

Emily shot a bludger at one of the Slytherin chasers, but missed.

Sirius tried the same thing closer to the Griffindor posts, but failed also.

But as Slytherin took the shot to score-

"He shoots! AND QUAFFLE IS SAVED BY WOODS!"

The Griffindor supporters cheered but the Slytherins were letting their 'boo's" be heard among the stands. "Griffindor's back in possession of the quaffle; that's Lily Evans headed for the goal posts. She quickly passes it to K-T, who dodges bludger from Slytherin beater; K-T passes it D-T who shoots and SCORES! 20-0 to Griffindor!"

Yelled Remus excitedly from the announcer's booth.

The game went on like this for about another hour and half.


The score was now 60-30 to Griffindor and the chasers were starting to tire out.

And the Slytherins were getting desperate.

They were starting to do anything to take out the chasers.

Kathleen had been nearly knocked off her broom by the Slytherin seeker and captain Malfoy, but he had gotten a penalty.

Kathleen had taken the shot and scored.


Meanwhile, while this was going on in the lower part of the field, James was about twenty feet up, circling around and looking for the snitch.

He saw that everyone was starting to tire out and he hoped to find the snitch soon.

He heard cheers but didn't stop looking around, he guessed from the sound of it Griffindor had just scored again and somewhat heard Remus when he announced the score. (80-30 Griffindor)

This went on for another three-quarters of an hour when he suddenly spotted it.

The Snitch.

It was about fifty feet below him close to the Griffindor posts.

He dived, racing for the snitch with Malfoy quickly following behind.

They were both neck and neck.

The snitch was still another ten feet away.

James urged his broom a little faster and reached out for the snitch and grabbed it just before Malfoy could.

James pulled out the dive and raised his fist, which held the snitch in the air.

As his team came rushing towards him.

The girls all hugged him while Sirius and Peter (Woods) gave him a pat on the back.

As they touched down, the crowd surrounded them, congratulating them on a good game.


An hour later Lily was leaving the change rooms by herself, everyone had left about fifteen minutes ago and she was just starting to walk back towards the school when she saw Malfoy, and his two goons, Crabbe and Goyle, come out from the bushes.

Lily rolled her eyes and glared at them but she really didn't like the way they were smirking at her.

"What do you want?" she asked coldly.

They began to close in on her.

Malfoy smiled evilly, "Oh nothing Evans." He said, "Just to teach you a lesson for embarrassing me, in that game today."

Lily tried to back away but found herself with her back against a wall.

Lily tried to defend her self, but they came on to fast.

The two idiots using their fist, while Malfoy used his wand.

Lily fought back a couple times but Crabbe and Goyle were really tough and it didn't really bother them.

It felt like hours later to Lily but was just a few minutes they stopped and walked away.

Lily had held in her tears until now, she tried to stay conscious as she walked towards the school.

She made it to the common room and when she entered she saw the whole group turn and their faces turned to shock and fear when they saw her.

"Oh my gosh Lily. Are you alright?"

Emily asked starting to get up.

Lily didn't answer.

She began to fall to the ground, and as her vision blurred, saw James rush over to her and catch her in time, before she hit the floor and everything went black.


James quickly ran over to Lily as he saw her begin to fall, and caught her before she it the ground.

When he saw that she had fallen unconscious, he quickly turned to Remus.

"Remus! Quick, go get Professor Dumbledore tell him to meet us in the Hospital wing!"

Remus nodded and quickly left the common room.

James quickly stood up and walked out of the common room, towards the hospital wing.

"Hang on Lily."

He whispered.

"Hang on."

When they entered the Hospital wing, Mme Pomfrey rushed over to them.

"What happened?" she asked motioning James to lay her down on one of the beds.

"We don't know." James answered.

"She had just stumbled into the common room a few minutes ago and passed out.

And that's when we came here to you."

Mme Pomfrey looked very worried.

"Will she be alright?" James asked, when he saw her expression.

"I don't know Mr. Potter." She said shaking her head.

She quickly shooed them out the room.

They sat down next to the door to the hospital wing, worried about what would happen to Lily.

A few minutes later Professor Dumbledore came running down the hall with Remus following quickly behind.

Dumbledore didn't say a word to them and rushed into the hospital wing.

For the next hours Emily and the four Marauders sat outside the hospital wing waiting for some news on Lily's condition.


It was just after midnight when Mme Pomfrey came out, looking scared and pale.

They all jumped up.

The nurse quickly turned to Emily.

"Emily, quickly come with me. Ms. Evans seems to be having a nightmare. See if you can calm her down." She said.

Emily nodded and quickly followed the nurse into the ward.
