Ok, I am going to explain the nitty gritty details of why Lily and James aren't talking. As we know, James has liked Lily for AGES! So when he finds out that his precious likes him back, he should be over the moon! She's finally "his" girl! Wrong. "Oh yes I like you, but I won't go out with you." He's liked her so long; it's going to hurt more then if she didn't say anything. So, she is being a bit selfish, only focusing on herself to try and feel better about the situation. James however, is being a bit stupid and naïve, taking it for granted she should go out with him. He would be hurting Lily's feelings if he went out with her (but he doesn't realize it) because knowing Sizzi and Remmie, they would tease her. A bad case of the "told you so" s. Neither of them realizes what the other is feeling, but very soon, the matchmaker coughHarrycough will get them together. That's not a plot line at all ;). I can't keep my mouth shut! Now does that explain things a bit? I thought it was pretty easy to understand, but probs only because I knew how I was meant to think of everything!

Serenitys Rose016: Harry is like James. I made him like him purposely!

PhoenixTears: I will keep going with this story, its my baby! I am writing a L/J Romance now too, but I am only because ei want three or four chapters of that done before I finish this, (which unfortuantly is approaching quickly) so I can hopefully lure all my faithful reviewers on this (like you) to my new fic. :) I am malicious and tricking!

kiss-of-cuteness: Lily is right in that part, but I'm on Jimmy's side for this one, She shouldn't have told him then, it upsets him… meh, that's my opinion anyway.

Pink-Eye: I hope you were kidding, I'll cry :'(. LOL. It's not winter where I am, (Australia) it's summer, 40 (110) degrees outside, stinking hot!

Ok, here's the story!

-----------

'Quidditch Quidditch Quidditch.' Harry said over and over again as he, James and Ron walked down into the Gryffindor changing rooms.

'Yes, we know!' Ron and James yelled at the same time.

'So, the rest of the team is meeting us down here?' Ron asked Harry.

'Yep.' Harry said. 'It's just we need to explain a few things to Jason, you know, what to expect from the Slytherins and such.'

'Ah, Ok.' James replied, even though he knew perfectly well what to expect.

-----------

'So are you and Romeo talking yet?' Hermione asked Lily as they walked slowly to the Quidditch Pitch. They were wearing matching dresses to show their Gryffindor spirit. Hermione was in red, Lily in gold. Lavender was coming in red too, but she was now helping Parvati search for her Quidditch robes; she was a chaser.

'Who?' Lily said, trying to hide her face, which was turning as red as Hermione's dress.

'Oh come on.' Hermione said impatiently.

'No.' Lily said. 'It's not like I haven't tried. He's just so stubborn.'

'Well, you do have to make a choice. It's either a yes and you two are err, "friends" and all, or it's a no, and you two don't talk.'

'I want it to be a yes.' Lily admitted. 'But, I don't want to give in so everyone can say "told you so". I really couldn't stand it.'

'You've said this before.' Hermione said. 'But it's not that bad. I mean, everyone had been trying to set me and Ron for two years. I didn't want to be the one doing what everyone else said. Then I realized that it is what I wanted and that not to worry about it.'

'That's so sweet.' Lily said, grinning at her.

'It's exactly like you two though.' Hermione said 'Once you admit it, that you want to go out with him, it will be great for you.'

'Maybe.' Lily said, but not really wanting to talk about her non-existent love life anymore. 'Oh, look, there's Lavender with the boys, lets go talk to them!'

Lily dragged Hermione off to talk to Lavender, Neville, Sirius and Remus, and Hermione knew better then to talk around them from fear of bad, bad hexing.

-----------

'Welcome to the first Quidditch game of the year, Gryffindor versus Slytherin' Neville called out through the magical megaphone. He had taken the job after Lee had left school.

'The Slytherin team are coming out, lead by captain Malfoy!' Neville called, trying to be as un biased as possible. 'Malfoy, Johnstone, Alexander, Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle and Nott.' The Slytherins cheered, the Gryffindors cheered, the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws tried to hide their booing.

'And the Gryffindors!' Neville yelled, much more excited. 'Potter, Weasley, Patil, Pratt, Finnigan, Thomas and Weasley. The new one here is chaser Jason Pratt, he just transferred here from being home schooled, but according to Potter, he is very talented, so don't worry Gryffies!'

'Now the referee, Madam Hooch!' Neville called happily.

'Shake hands captains.' She instructed. Harry and Malfoy approached each other and gripped hands momentarily, but with the force to break a cauldron.

'Mount your brooms.' Madam Hooch called. James gulped and climbed on the borrowed Cleensweep 11. Madam Hooch released the Snitch and Bludgers.

'And the game has… began.' Neville called as Madam Hooch threw the Quaffle into the air and fifteen people rose up. Harry and Malfoy began circling the pitch immediately. Ron and Nott flew of to their respective rings, Dean, Seamus, Crabbe and Goyle all went after the bludgers, as James seized the Quaffle.

'Pratt gets the Quaffle, Jason Pratt tearing up the pitch. He passes to Weasley, Ginny looks like she is going to shoot, no, good Bludger work there by Crabbe, she drops the Quaffle, Parkinson grabs it. She flies up the pitch, Thomas hits a Bludger towards her, it hits. She drops the Quaffle, but manages to stay on her broom. Patil speeding towards goal for Gryffindor. Looks like she is going to shoot, Nott accommodates, flying to her side, she's on a bad angle, so she reverse passes to Pratt, who puts it through the far hoop no problems. 10-0 to Gryffindor!'

The Gryffindors all cheered wildly. The Slytherins booed. Harry circled the pitch, looking down, but the Snitch was hiding, he had not spotted it yet, but neither had Malfoy.

'Alexander takes the Quaffle for Slytherin. He passes to Johnstone, who then passes to Parkinson, who shoots, but saved superbly by Weasley, who passes the Quaffle off to his sister. Ginny Weasley passes to Jason, over to Parvati, back to Ginny who shoots, but the Keeper hits it away. Pratt intercepts and puts it through the middle hoop! 20-0 to Gyffindor! Excellent Chaser work here by Gryffindor, fantastic save by Weasley, Dan and Seamus working tirelessly to keep the Slytherin Chasers away from the Quaffle!'

The Gryffindor supporters (Gryffies, Ravies and Huffers,) all cheered madly.

'Two goals in five minutes, no sign of the Snitch as of yet.'

-----------

In the next twenty minutes, Gryffindor scored four more times, Ginny, Ginny, James the Parvati. Slytherin had scored one goal off Johnstone, but only because of good Bludger work by Goyle. Malfoy had called a time out, giving Harry time to talk to his team too.

'Fantastic work by everyone.' Harry said happily. 'Don't worry about their goal before Ron, there going to have to get some.' Harry turned to the Chasers.

'Guys, can you do a hawks-head attacking formation?' They nodded. 'I want Parv on the left because she can shoot both hands. Jason, I want you in the middle, you're playing great, and I will put ten galleons that Malfoy is telling one of those buffoon headed idiots to take you out. Gin, when you guys are close to the ring, fly in really close, so either Nott goes your way, or Jas or Parv can pass it to you for an easy shot. Got it?'

'Yep.' They said as one.

'Dean and Seamus. I'm going to Wronski Feint Malfoy just after the Chaser's score. I'll need you two to keep the Bludgers out of action, not just out of the way. Hit them as high as you can get, otherwise Crabbe or Goyle will go for me.'

'Ok.' Dean said.

'Ron'- Harry began.

'Sit tight and be grateful if it doesn't come near me?'

'Yeah. Lets go and make this work.' Harry said. 'Chaser, really look out for each other, the Slytherins are going to try and take at least one of you out.'

-----------

'Slytherin in possession after the timeout.' Neville called, watching the red and green blobs in the air. 'Parkinson to Alexander, who passes it off to Johnstone, shoots, off-target, Weasley grabs and passes to Pratt. Gryffindor go into a hawks-head formation, both Beaters keeping the Bludgers away. The Slytherin Chasers are going to block them! Wait a minute, so are the Beaters! And Nott and Malfoy are leaving there positions to help take out the Gryffindor Chasers! This is getting- wait a moment, Harry Potter has just gone into a hundred-foot dive! He must have seen the Snitch!'

'I thought he was going to feint after they scored!' Dean said to Seamus as they flew over to Ron, not being able to help the Chasers and the Bludgers way up high and out of the way.

'Same.' Ron said awestruck ashe watched the concentration on his best friends face.

The Chasers were too busy to notice Harry, they were concentrating on the formation. Ginny flew in close to the hoops, dodging the Slytherin Beaters as Malfoy dived after Harry's pursuit of the Snitch, taking Goyle's beaters club with him. However, this left James with nothing on his right side. Goyle went and hip-and-shouldered him just after he passed the Quaffle to Parvati. Crabbe lifted his club and hit him right around the head. James passed out immediately and fell from his broom.

-----------

Harry had seen the Snitch, he wasn't just feinting. He flew to the ground; his toes brushed the grass and he spun upside-down to catch the Snitch. He rose and held the Snitch above his head, Malfoy thirty feet away, glaring at him, for some reason holding a Beaters club. The applause didn't come.

Harry looked around wildly. Jason was still falling, his broom hovering up in the eight player scramble next to the goal hoops, Ron, Dean and Seamus at the other end, watching the decent of the star Chaser.

Without thinking, the Snitch still in his hand, Harry sped up and across to James. He was speeding, going as fast as his broom would take him, Malfoy trailing him, maybe hoping Harry would let go of the Snitch. Harry caught up to James, grabbed his arm, flung him onto his broom and started rising to where Madam Hooch was giving Parvati a penalty shot for what Crabbe had did to James, which she put through after seeing Harry had caught him.

Malfoy crept up behind Harry, holding the Beaters club, and gave a huge whack to his side, causing both father and son to fall fourty feet to the hard ground.

A/N: Dodging off fruit Sorry, sorry, and it was short! I know, I know, it's a cliffie! Merry Christmas all, and please review! I know that there wasn't much of Lily, Sirius or Remus this chapter; in fact, I don't think Remus and Sirius got a line! But anyway, wishing you all a lovely Christmas and New Years!
