"Listen guys!" James said when they reached the pitch "We've got a match on Thursday!"
There was uproar between the players
"What!?"
"Why are you only telling us now?"
"Bet they knew!"
"Guys calm down!" Sirius yelled "A. We didn't know. And James only got told yesterday!"
They sighed
"Who's it against?"
"Slytherin."
There was more muttering
"This year is our year!" James said, "We shouldn't have lost last year!"
"Too right we shouldn't have." One person commented "If She - " Pointing at Hannah "Had have kept her mouth shut then we wouldn't have lost two of our players!"
"Oh My God!" Hannah sneered "It's not my fault that Drake can't keep his fists to himself, if he hadn't of punched Malfoy then I wouldn't have had to intervene! Just because I'm the only girl on the team doesn't mean you have to blame everything on me."
"And we all know WHY you're on the team." Someone retorted
There was a mass argument amongst the players until James yelled
"WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP!"
"Are we gonna practice or what?" Sirius asked
"Suppose." Someone muttered
They mounted their brooms and threw the Quaffle to each other for about 5 minutes.
"You want me to let the Snitch out James?" A voice shouted up
"No." James replied "Not today!"
The bell rang to signal Lunch.
"I got to go." Hannah said
"Alright!"
"I'll be back in about 10."
She flew down and she and Lily went to Lunch.
"What was all that arguing about before?" Lily asked
"Nothing." Hannah answered "Just Bell thinking he can get one over on me."
The two of them had a quick lunch and made their way back to the Pitch.
"Listen Lil." Hannah said "Do you mind if I nab Sirius for five minutes after practice?"
She shook her head
"Why?"
"I just want to ask him something."
"Oooo." Lily teased "What?"
"Nothing!" Hannah grinned "And anyway, you'll find out."
Lily raised her eyebrows and asked
"This wouldn't have anything to do with you and a certain wedding would it?"
Hannah smiled
"Might have."
"I still say that you're too young to marry him." Lily stated
"I know Lil, you've said." Hannah muttered "And anyway I'm seventeen!"
"Exactly, you're not even eighteen yet."
"So what!" Hannah snapped, "I love him, and he loves me."
"How do you know he's the One?"
"I've known him for 7 years, and I've gone out with him for four." Hannah pointed out "I just know."
Lily raised her eyebrows
"Can I ask you something?" Hannah said, "How does Sirius make you feel?"
"I can't describe it." Lily said as they walked up to the stands "I mean when I'm with him I feel safe, like nothing's going bad is going to happen."
"He makes go weak at the knees with just one kiss." Hannah added "And time seems to stand still when you're with him."
"How do you know that?"
"Cause that's how Remus makes me feel when I'm with him."
"Did I hear my name being mentioned?" Remus asked as they walked past.
"Yeah." Lily said
"Nothing bad I hope."
"Now why would I do that?" Hannah asked and kissed him on the cheek. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately.
"Oh get a room!" Carolyn remarked.
They broke apart and Hannah said
"I need to get back to practice."
She brought a finger to her lips and then brought it to his and then ran down to the pitch. Remus looked at Lily and asked
"Exactly what were you talking about?"
Lily rolled her eyes
"Just telling me how much she loves you."
Remus grinned
"What I want to know is how come she says you've been going out since 3rd year but you've only been dating since 4th."
Remus let out a hollow laugh
"That's all you know!"
They heard someone yell
"WATCH OUT!" and a bludger came hurtling past.
"Sorry!" They heard Sirius shout
"It's alright!" Lily responded
Lily and Carolyn started laughing
"They take Quidditch too seriously!" Carolyn said
Lily nodded in agreement.
"They need a time-out."
"Sometimes I wish that they could just cancel Quidditch for one day!"
Remus snorted
"You wouldn't!"
"Why not?"
"Sirius, James and Hannah is why not!" Remus answered, "You remember when the match was cancelled last year don't you?"
They murmured a reply
"Do you really want a repeat of that?"
They shook their heads vigorously.
"Thought not!"
- - - -
"We need to beat them." James shouted as they flew down "I don't think I can suffer any more embarrassment!"
"Don't worry James." Drake said, "We'll do our best to win!"
"Tomorrow!" James told the team "We'll have another practice."
"What?" They groaned, "You can't!"
"I've got detention all of my free time!" Someone added
"Tomorrow!" James repeated "No excuses!"
The team left, leaving James, Hannah and Sirius
"That was harsh James!" Sirius commented
James sighed
"We need to win this match Padfoot!"
"I'm not denying that we do." Sirius continued "But we don't have a practice tomorrow, not until Wednesday."
"We need as much as possible!" James said defensively "Anyway, I'm going to find Rachel." And he left.
"Sirius." Hannah said, "Can I ask you something?"
"What is it?" He asked, absentmindedly. He kept looking over to Lily.
"You know how I don't speak to Dad?"
He nodded
"When I get married." She continued "Can you give me away?"
