Chapter 10-Quitdditch Tryouts

James and Sirius made their way out to the Quidditch field. James had a pit in his stomach as he looked back at the castle. He knew that Lily should be here and that she should still be the Keeper. It was in his gut to feel bad.

They saw their friends sitting there or ready to play. They also saw the rest of the team and the people trying out. The only person they didn't see was Peter Pettigrew. James looked around as if Peter was hiding. He shrugged it off and finished making his way to the team.

He saw his beaters: Ryan Chambers and Sirius Black. He saw his once remaining Chaser: Jimmy Thomas. Another pang of guilt hit him Lily should be there another seventh year ready to see the new kids trying out.

"Ok, I am James Potter and this is Sirius Black we are the Captain of this team."

A second year raised her hand.

"Yes?" James pointed to her.

"You said Captain shouldn't it have been Captains?"

James and Sirius looked at each other. "That is not an issue right now ok so I am going to call your name and you will come and try out.

First up is Daniel Creevy. And you're trying for Chaser."

The small boy nodded his head and mounted his broom. The team mounted too and they were off. Daniel Creevy tried. One by one James called out names and kids tried out. He kept looking at Remus and Emilie if they were good or not.

Christine was trying out for Chaser she was amazing. But she felt just as bad as James did about Lily no being there.

At last everyone had gone. IT was Sirius's turn to talk. "Ok guys and gals who made it will be on posted later. I must have a chat with my team mates and some other people." Sirius winked at Remus and Emilie. They knew that the team would be sitting in the hospital wing with Lily. And that Remus and Emilie had to be there to because they were always there.

The group made their way to the hospital wing. Remus could have sworn he saw a rat run by but he figured it was his imagination. They walked in muddy. Madam Mitchall almost screamed when she saw them and made them clean up before they did anything.

Lily was sitting up in her bed and listened as the group discussed who should be put on. Lily sighed. "I wish I could play again. I know that I wouldn't faint again. And if I do I won't play anymore. It is so unfair."

"I know babe but what can we do about it?" Lily noticed Ryan tighten up when James said that.

"I might have a way." Lily said with a mysterious look in her eyes.

"Ok so if Lily can do that all we will need is a Keeper until she is better.

"Ok. But first chasers."

"OK I think that Christine and Kelly should be the chasers and for Keeper it should be Frank Longbottom." Lily announced.

Everyone looked at her. They didn't know who should be chosen and she was ill and had chosen. They had to admit that she chose the people who were best.

"Ok Lils we will go post it." Remus said.

Everyone had left the hospital wing and Lily got up and asked if she could go talk to Dumbledore. Madam Mitchall agreed just told her to be careful.

Lily walked the halls of Hogwarts and made her way to Dumbledore's office. "Dung bombs. "She said and the gargoyle moved to the side letting Lily go up the stairs.

She could hear voices. "Moody will you please do this. I want my students safe. Will you just stay around the school?"

"Sure Professor, I think we should stop talking right now because Miss Evans is standing outside the door wanting to talk to you."

"Miss Evans please come in."

Lily walked in. She was shaking. For the first time in a long time Lily wasn't sure of what she was going to say.

"Professor I would like to be able to play Quidditch still. I am perfectly fine and I promise I won't faint again. You can not expect me to be able to get through this is I am not able to go back to the life I had. And removing me from the team will make it that much harder.

I know that my safety means a lot to you. But I really want to play again. Another thing is that I don't think that the Gryffindor team will play as well for they will be feeling guilty that I am not out there playing with them" Lily concluded.

"Miss Evans you are making some very good points and I must say I agree with you. And it would not be fair to you to take you off the team because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. SO from here forth you are back on the team. Will you please talk to Mr. Longbottom and explain to him the circumstances. I am sure he would be fine being the reserve keeper."

Lily nodded her head and left to go back to the Hospital wing to get her stuff. She had to admit that she was very happy. When she got to the Hospital wing she told Madam Mitchall what had been going on and she changed and practically ran back to the Gryffindor Common Room with the good news."

She got to the portrait hole. "Fairy Lights." She said and walked in. She could hear Sirius complaining. "I can't believe that the password is Fairy Light the only one worse would be stardust. Anyways I hope Lily got permission to still be on the team. I would feel much better knowing she was still going to be Keeper."

Lily used this moment to sneak into the Common Room. Christine and Emilie saw her but kept their mouths shut.

Sirius continued, "I am mean she was great and still no one could catch like her could no one could be like her."

"Oh Sirius I didn't know you could be so mushy." Lily said from behind him. Sirius jumped up. "Lily it isn't as it sounded."

"I know but wow was your face funny."

Christine couldn't help herself. "SO do you get to be on the team still?"

"That I will tell you after I go have a chat with Frank."

Lily walked up the stairs to the boys dormitories. Ten minutes later she and Frank came down smiling. "And to answer your question Chris. Yes I still get to be on the team."

The girls started jumping up and down. They were so happy.

Sirius started talking but no one heard him. Finally when everyone calmed down Sirius started doing what he does best complaining. "I feel like no one is ever listening to me. I mean I was trying to tell you something but no one cared."

"Oh Shut up Sirius." Christine kissed him lightly.

"Ok that can shut me up Chris." Everyone started laughing. James continued for Sirius.

"As he was trying to say before he started complaining is that we have thought of a name for you girls."

"OH really what is it James?" Emilie asked.

"Well since you want to know Emmy, I guess I will tell you."

"Get on with it James." Lily said.

"Ok ok ok well we thought you should be." The portrait swung open and Ryan walked in. He gave a small smile to Lily and Christine who both pretended to throw up. Ryan walked over to the girls. "Remember what Amos and I said still stands. You will be ours no matter what." He whispered so they could only hear him.

They both started to shiver. "Chambers get out of here. Cant you see that we are in the middle of an important discussion."

"Potter cant you see that I am busy. Plus I came here to tell Christine and Lily that Professor McGonagall wanted to see them."

"Stop the lies Chambers I know that Amos Diggory is outside the door and that you are going to do anything to get them to be yours."

"OH Potter it isn't like you have a claim on them."

"Sirius does."

"I would think he only has a claim on Christine here not Lily too. Or is he not telling us something."

"He is telling us everything. Chambers cant you see that Lily doesn't like you anymore."

"Potter cant you see that Lily doesn't like you and never will."

Lily looked back and forth. They were putting words in her mouth. Sure she hated Ryan and didn't want to date James but they shouldn't be speaking for her.

"Chambers bug off we don't want you around."

"Potter are you sure it is you she doesn't want around."

"I know Lily likes my company."

"Well she liked mine better."

"WILL YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP.? I HAVENT SAID ANY OF THAT. YOU ARE PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH. I'M TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE A TROPHY BETWEEN YOU TWO!" Lily burst into tears. She ran into the Heads Common Room then into her bedroom.

Both James and Ryan did nothing. Neither had realized that Lily would be upset and that they were putting words in her mouth.

"Come on." James nodded. The entire group fallowed James into the Heads Common Room. They all thought it was amazing but no one said anything because they were here on a mission. Emilie and Christine walked in first.

"Lily are you ok?"

"Emmy, Chris they put words in my mouth almost every time they fight. And they never fight over anything but me."

"Lils it's going to be ok. Remus is here wanting to know if you're ok. Should we let him in?" Christine asked.

Lily nodded her head and Christine walked to the door. She whispered for only Remus to come in.

"Lily are you alright. Everyone is worried about you."

"I know Remus it just hurts me to see them fight."

"I know Lily I know."

By the time Lily felt better everyone was in her room. She looked around. "Um can we move into one of the Common Rooms? I don't feel real comfortable having so many guys in my room." Everyone laughed and went back to the Gryffindor Common Room. Peter was sitting there like he had been there the entire time. Everyone was confused. They could have all sworn that he wasn't there before.

"So Sirius do you want to tell us what is the name?" Emilie asked.

"OH ya we think that you girls should be the Marauders."

"But that is your name." Christine said.

"Yep or you could be the Marauderettes." James suggested.

"Marauderettes is pretty cool but I think I like the Marauders better." Lily said. The other girls agreed. So know they were all the Marauders.
