Chapter Thirteen- Gryffindor vs. Slytherin

The Gryffindor table that morning was quite noisy. More than usual. It was Saturday, the 23th of November. The first Quidditch game of the year would be taking place today. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Like it always was.

' 'E arfe o oing oo ic heir ars!' Sirius managed to say with a mouthful of food.

'Sirius, please. Don't talk with your mouth open.' Tammy said.

'Yeff mum.'

'Okay guys lets not start. You've been doing well so far, let's not change that.' James sighed, taking a sip of his water.

Sirius swallowed his food and smiled. 'We are so going to kick their arses! We've got the best team this year!'

'Yeah but if we can't find the location of our Seeker soon, our arses will be the ones getting kicked.' James said.

As if the words he spoke were a magnet to her ears, Julianna entered the Great Hall. Looking rather sick.

'Sorry I'm late coming down here.' She said, taking a seat next to Remus.

'Are you okay? You look a little flushed.' Remus asked

'Yeah. I'll be fine. Just feeling a little off lately.'

'Lately? You've been feeling off for almost two weeks now. I've heared you up every morning this week throwing up in the bathroom. You sure you're okay?' Tammy asked.

'Yeah I'll be fine.'

'You positive? Because you could always sit this game out today? Right James!' Lily asked.

'WHAT! You have to be...'

'Right James!' Lily's stern look shut him up.

'Uh, yeah. If you...really feel that bad...you can sit it out today.' James grumbled.

'No it's alright. Really. I'll be fine to play today.' Julianna smiled.

'I knew I put you own this team for a good reason.'

'Yeah because she was good.' Mary-Elle said.

'That plus she doesn't whine about not feeling well. Sirius on the other hand "My leg hurts. I think I have a cold. God I don't feel like playing in the rain!" Biggest whinner I have ever seen.'

'Not true. It's really chilly out and I don't mind playing today.' Sirius replied.'

'Well that's a first.' Remus said rolling his eyes.


The Gryffindor change room was in a terrible state at the current moment. Towels and clothes everywhere, and it was terribly noisy.

'You'd think that after all my years of complaining they'd learn to pick up after themselves.' Adele Walker, Gryffindor Chaser, replied, placing her clothes into her locker. Adele had long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. She was quite beautiful. Julianna had only known her for a little over forty-five mintues and she had already found out that she'd been a Chaser since her second year, she was a seventh year like herself and she had been involved with every single guy on the Gryffindor team once. Although, when she heard that, Julianna figured her to be a lady of the night. Assumption quite wrong, consisdering the fact the only one she had only slept with Sirius, she had dated all the other memebers once.

'What do you expect. They're guys. Must be terrible to have been the only girl on the team for years.' Julianna replied, pulling on her gloves.

'Disaster. This year people thought the only reason why you got put on the team was to give me some help in putting these guys into line. Plus the fact that people thought you were sleeping around with Sirius. But I was there at the tryouts, you're an excellent flyer Julia. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.'

'Thanks. Uh...about the Sirius thing... I wasn't'

'No need to explain. We all know Sirius is a player with girls but you look to be smarter than that. Besides, he knew in his mind if that was going on, him and Tammy would be no more for good!'

'So when they were going out they were like " The Super Couple"?'

'I guess you could say that. I think it was more like guys were happy the Hogwarts biggest player settled down and wouldn't have to worry about their girls around him.'

Julianna laughed.

'Having our regular "Pre-match Sirius talk" are we?' Phillip Battersby, Gryffindor Beater, asked. Phillip was, well, not your typical male. He was a poof. A batter of the other team. He was gay. He had become one of the team's beaters three years ago and he, apparently, was quite good. He had long brown hair that fell into his eyes quite like Sirius's did but was more well kept like Remus's.

'A what?' Julianna asked.

They both laughed, 'Usually Sirius is a hot topic before the match for some reason. But then again, its not a surprise. The guy is quite an interesting topic.'

'Another Sirius obsesser?' Julianna asked, laughing.

'Use to be. I am, though, dating someone. If he knew I still fancied Sirius, oh boy would I be in trouble.' Phillip said.

'Does Sirius know?'

'Know what?'

'You fancy him.'

'Oh yeah. He's cool with it though. He knows I'd never make a move on him. He's not gay so I know he wouldn't be interested in me so I leave it at that.'

Julianna smiled. Too bad that everyone on the team couldn't be as nice as James, Sirius, Adele, and Phillip. Enter Julius Chambers and Hector Cunningham. Julius being in seventh year and Hector also being in seventh year, having failed his fourth year and having to repeat it. They both had mud brown hair, cold green eyes and freckles. If you didn't know them, you'd mistaken them as brothers. Not the most attractive boys she had seen but not ugly nevertheless. Julius being a chaser and Hector the keeper, both had not liked the fact that another girl would be playing on "their" team. In fact, if she remembered it was them who spoke about her sleeping around with Sirius and said that "they rather her keep her activies between Sirius and herself cause god knows where Sirius has been and they rather not catch whatever he has from her." They weren't that pleasent with Adele either, which made Julia feel the least bit better that it wasn't just her. It was both girls.

'Why is Chambers and Cunningham such jerks?' Julianna asked, looking over at them.

'Their sexest, thats why.' Phillip said,

'They don't believe that girls should be able to play Quidditch and quote "A guy sport".' Adele replied, rolling her eyes.

'So, what, do they think we such do? Be petty little cheerleaders on the side line?' Julianna questioned.

'Pretty much yeah. Not only are they sexest, they are prejudice' Phillip replied, 'James has had enough of them since they first came on the team but they are pretty good players. Sexest or not, we need them.'

'Alright team. Gather round over here.' James called, 'Now, this is our first game of the year so we need to make it look good. Show the other teams how fierce we are and how we won't lose a fight to anyone.'

'Kind of hard when we have another girl on the team.' Julius replied, She better not be a girly-girl Potter who will cry if she breaks a nail.'

'Fuck off Chambers. No one is interested in what you have to say.' Sirius replied.

'If I may contiune.' James said, 'We have an amazing line up of players this year and I don't doubt we can take the title again this year. We just need to work hard, and work with each other. Slytherin has a new line up this year and I've watched them play at night sometimes. I hate to admitt this, but they look pretty good this year and they will probably be even more of a challenge to beat this year then any other year. Rodolphus being captain this year has been working them pretty hard.'

'Who've they got going for them?' Adele asked.

'Rodolphus, Noah Johnson and Issac Hornbolt as Chasers, Rodolphus's brother, Rastaban and Evan Rosier as Beaters, Avery as Keeper, and James Ellis as Seeker.'

'Still no girls on there team I see.' Phillip said.

'No.' James replied.

'They're smart. Girls make a team weak. This team has it bad we have two girls and one guy who is pretty much as girl at heart.' Hector said.

'You know, Hec, with James being captain this year and all, he can easily throw you off this team since he can't stand putting up with your's and Julius's shit anymore. I've saved your arse so many times being your fellow chaser and you can thank Julia when she saves all of our arses every game because you are no help in scoring since you can't aim properly.'

'Game starts in three minutes guys.' Sirius reminded them.

'Right, lets go out there and show them what Gryffindors are truly made of.' James shouted.

'That sounded so lame Prongs.' Sirius laughed, as they mounted their brooms.


'Welcome to this extrodinary game we have here today ladies and gentlemen. It is the anticipated first match of the season; GRYFFINDOR VS. SLYTHERIN! Gryffindor's new Cap-E-tain Potter will finally be able to show off his team's new skills so give it up for POTTER, WALKER, CHAMBERS, BLACK, BATTERSBY, CUNNINGHAM, ANNNNND ZANDWYK!' Announcer Dominic Jordan yelled into is magnaphone.

As Gryffindor team zoomed out onto the pitch, Julianna's heart began to race. There were soo many people in the stands but she could pin point where Lily, Tammy, Mary-Elle and Remus were sitting. She waved to them and they waved back. She felt nervous.

'Nervous?' Sirius said, stopping next to her and waving at them also.

'A bit.' She replied.

'Don't worry, I think Remus is more worried about you then you are. I told him we'd take good care of you.' Sirius said winking.


'I hope she doesn't fall.' Remus said, as he saw Sirius stop next to her.

'She'll be fine.' Tammy said, waving at Sirius.

'Are you sure...I don't...'

'Remus. Relax. She'll be fine. You're turning into Tammy when she would always scream to Sirius to watch out behind him and what not.' Lily said, reassuringly

Tammy and Remus turned red.

'If she does get hurt, James and Sirius will be right there. She'll be fine.' Mary-Elle said.


'As well as Gryffindor, Slytherin too has a new Captain, Rodolphus Lestrange. Let's just see if he can train his old dogs some new tricks although I very much doubt it.' Dominic Jordan spoke.

'JORDAN!' Professor McGonagall snapped.

'Sorry Professor, just stating some facts for our audience.'

'Your not hear to state anything! You can be replaced you know!'

'Alright, alright Professor. Welcome the Slytherin Quidditch team LESTRANGE, JOHNSON, HORNBOLT, LESTRANGE, ROSIER, AVERY ANNNND ELLIS!'

As Julianna watched the Slytherin team race onto the pitch she didn't really see why James was so obsessed over that team. They looked easy enough to beat, they didn't hold themselves well on brooms and they weren't big looking or anything, well except Rodolphus and that Ellis boy.

Madame Hooch was refereeing the match. She stood in the middle of the pitch waiting for both Gryffindor and Slytherin to finish warming up and join her around the middle. As both team gathered, she took a good long look at both teams. When she was done she gave a loud blast of her whistle and released the snitch.

'To refresh all memories, the Snitch is worth a hundred and fifty points, the seeker who catches the snitch wins the game for their team.' Jordan announced, 'The Quaffle has been released and is immediately taken by Walker. Such a skilled chaser, beautiful too.'

'JORDAN!'

'Sorry Professor. A neat pass to Potter as he zooms up the pitch, a pass back to Walker and...IT'S A GOAL! 10-0 for Gryffindor. Captain Lestrange has control of the Quaffle but no...he's stopped by our own Julius Chambers. He's heading up the field, trying to take the goal alone. Good God Man! Pass it to someone! And it's stolen by Johnson. Johnson moving quickly up, passes to Lestrange and its...STOPPED! GREAT JOB CUNNIHAM! Walker with the Quaffle,- Girl! Watch out for that Bludger! And she is saved by the charming work of Black's beater skills. Walker still in possesion of the Quaffle. She shoots! She misses. Still good try. And what's this! Lestrange's brother wacks another bludger over towards Walker but blocked by Black again. Why you dirty little...'

'Jordan! I'm warning you.'

'After that dirty cheating about...'

'Jordan...!'

'After that little "missunderstanding" Slytherin has possesion of the Quaffle...'

'You alright!' Julianna yelled towards Adele.

'Yeah, don't worry about me though. You just keep your mind on that snitch.' she replied smiling and went off to help James.


'After an hour into this match and being on a time out Slytherin leads with 180 to 160 against Gryffindor.' Jordan said.

'What taking so fucking long in you find the snitch chick!' Julius snapped.

'I'd like to see you do a better job.' Julianna replied.

'I could catch the snitch with my eyes closed!'

'You can't even catch a ball as big as your head coming towards you let alone catching something as small as a snitch.' Adele yelled.

'Guys this isn't helping here.' James said, raising his voice, 'Juls, stay closer up in the sky. It will help and Hector, stop being so offside around the hoops. Other than that, we'll be fine. Let's go!'

'And its Gryffindor in possesion, Walker passes it to Potter, Potter to Chambers, Chamber taking it up himself. PASS IT MATE. Chambers passes it, with my help, to Potter, POTTER SCORES! Gryffindor catching up with 170!'

As Julianna watched her team mates play, her eye caught the snitch. Finally! As she zoomed after it, she whizzed by Rodolphus Lestrange.

'She's spotted the snitch.' He said to his brother, 'Take her out!'


'Looks like she's spotted the snitch.' Mary-Elle said, as Julianna began to zoom fast on her broom.

'Yes. Come on Julia.' Lily said, clasping her hands together.

'GO JULIA!' Tammy yelled, 'Oh no! JULIA! LOOK OUT! BLUDGER!'

'What?' Remus said.

As he looked towards the pitch, he could see a bludger, knocked by they younger Lestrange headed straight for her. 'JULIA! WATCH OUT!'


'Huh?' Julianna replied. She had heard someone telling her to watch out, but...

WHAM! The bludger collided with her broom, knocking her off. A roar of rage and gasps came from the Gryffindors watching as she fell and began to scream.

'HELLLP MEEEEEEE!' She screamed as she covered her eyes with her hands, so she didn't have to watch herself hit the ground.

Although, the falling sensation stopped and she slowly opened her eyes. She was mounted at the front of Sirius's broom.

'You alright?' He asked, as he made a sharp left turn.

'Yeah. Thanks. Were's my...'

'Brooms still over there flying, I'm trying to get you over there, snitch is hanging right above it.'

'I owe you.' She replied, holding onto the handle of his broom.

'Forget about it. You don't owe me anything, I wasn't just going to let you die. Now on the count of three, your going to jump over onto your broom. Ready?'

'Yeah.'

'One, Two, THREE.'

As she leaped off his broom, she could she the snitch go to take off but she allowed herself to fall farther in order to catch it, causing her to grab onto her broom with her other hand. Sirius flew over to where she was.

'Need another lift?' He asked smirking.

'Please.' She replied smiling, then allowed herself to fall on top of his broom and pulled her broom down. She held up the snitch in the air for all to see.

'GRYFFINDOR WINS! 320 to 180! GRYFFINDOR WINS!'


As the Gryffindor team piled into the change room, Tammy, Lily, Mary-Elle and Remus were all waiting for them.

'Are you okay?' Remus asked Julianna, as he pulled her into a tight embrace.

'I'm fine.' She replied, hugging him back. 'Thank god for Sirius.'

Remus let go of her and approched Sirius, 'Thanks Padfoot. For, you know, saving her life and all.'

'Ah, don't mention it Moony. No hard feelings for what's been going on.' He replied holding out his hand.

'None.' Remus smiled, shaking his hand, then pulling him into a "manly embrace".

'Well I think we deserve a victory celebration tonight.' Adele said.

'Sounds great. Let me and Sirius just change and then we'll go get some stuff for a party.' James said.

'Alright then. We'll meet you back in the Common Room.' Lily said, kissing James's lips lightly then left with Tammy and Mary-Elle.

'Give me ten minutes and I'll walk up with you to the Common Room Remus.' Julianna said, disappearing into the showers.
