"And Potter has the quaffle," came the excited commentary from high above the ground.
"He dodges, turns and …. HE SCORES!" the crowd went wild at this, screaming and clapping, hailing the famed Quidditch star. Lily grinned up at him through the crowds, turning to Alice and Bella who were seated to her right.
"I asked him to make it official." she winked at the two of them, gauging their reactions.
Alices face lit up in a wide smile as she high fived Bella who was grinning manically.
"It has come to mind that the first years probably wont know much about the players so heres a bit of a history lesson, if its quite alright with our dear professor here," commented Peter Pettigrew into the microphone, for he was today's commentator.
"First off I'll start with the Gryffindor beater, Sirius Black. This devilishly handsome individual has been on the team since his second year, ladies and gentlemen, and can often be seen with the infamous Marauders." The stands erupted once again as Sirius did a fancy kind of flip in the air, waving down at the students. "Remus Lupin is the second Gryffindor beater, and quite the ladies man. This studious lad enjoys long walks around the lake and sunsets ladies, and can be found within the Marauders. By the way, he's single."
Above them Remus sent a very rude gesture in Peter's direction whilst Professor McGonagall reprimanded him for sounding like a personal ad.
"Chaser James Potter has also been on the team since second year, which, coincidentally was the year he decided he would like the pleasure of one Miss Evans," here Lily groaned, "To accompany him anywhere at all without spitting fire at him. Come to think of it, James has only recently acquired the rights to say that Lily and himself are now officially a couple! With Potters messy black hair and debonair manner he was, until recently one of Hogwarts most eligible bachelors!" finished Peter, as their professor kicked him out of the box with a detention.
By now the crowd was laughing merrily, and at that moment, Ravenclaw scored.
"Crap." muttered James from high above everyone. He had noticed Lily in the crowd, her hair standing out more than anything else.
He would really have to concentrate in order to succeed this time.
Thirty minutes later the crowd went wild as the Gryffindor seekers hand came into contact with the snitch. James sighed, grinning around at his fellow team mates, for the match had been a close call.
He swooped down into the stands to greet his girlfriend. His Girlfriend. The whole thing still hadn't sunk in yet. As he smiled down at Lily, (for she had raced up to greet him) her green eyes alive like a million happy things that he could list, his two words struck him. She smiled up at him too, and took in his messy hair, his slightly skewed glasses and eyes, brown like chocolate ice cream melting in the summers sun that reminded her so much of home, Lily realized how lucky she truly was.
Above them, flying high in the sky Sirius smirked down at the couple.
Remus flew slightly higher to join his friend, doing their secret handshake.
"Well Moony, looks like we've done it. I'm a miracle worker." Sirius remarked.
"No your not." came Peters voice from his other side. Although the slightly chubby boy wasn't on the Quidditch team, he was by no means unable to fly around with the others, occasionally participating in the odd game over summer vacations which were mostly spent at James' house.
"Real Life Fairytale."
