Disclaimer: Harry Potter & Co. Not mine. Duh.

So I realize that during the marauder's time period there wouldn't be the music that we listen to today, but because I'm too lazy to figure out what songs people would have listened to then, they're gonna listen to music that we listen to now. grins

So school for me starts next week, and I figure it's gonna be really busy for me w/ swim practice and getting used to the whole high school life and such, so I won't be updating really at all. Sorry!

soooooooooooooo without further ado… chapter five!

There really isn't anything important in this chapter, it just shows James' infatuation for Lily. haha.

During the Quidditch part, I spared the details because I really don't know anything about how to write them. So. Use your imaginations!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Elizabeth sighed peacefully as she sat up on her bed.

Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she glanced at her bedside clock.

8:15. Dang it was early.

She stood up on the dark red carpet and walked towards the bathroom, taking a look around the room.

Madi, Whitney and Lily were all peacefully asleep.

Elizabeth smiled and she stepped into the shower.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sirius Black felt a headache coming on.

For the past hour or so, James Potter had been going on and on (and on) about how great the amazing Lily Evans was.

"Okay. I get the point." Sirius finally said, frustrated.

James made no sign that he even heard Sirius speak.

Sirius rolled his eyes and got out of his bed. He walked to the bathroom, hoping that James wouldn't notice.

He didn't.

Sirius sighed in relief. He stepped into the large room and locked. the door.

"Ooohh…my head's spinning…" he groaned.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"So what are we doing today?" Elizabeth asked the others at the breakfast table.

"We have double potions and defense today." Remus replied, stabbing his pancake with his fork.

Elizabeth groaned. Because she and Remus had the same schedules, she hadn't bothered trying to remember it.

James looked like he was in a daze.

"James…Jamsie-poo?" Elizabeth asked, waving her hand in front of his face.

"Uh…huh…." He muttered, still staring in the direction of a certain red-haired girl who happened to be laughing at that moment.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

Sirius mimicked her movement.

So did Remus.

Peter stared at them.

"Did I miss something?"

They all rolled their eyes again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"You should give up on her." Sirius finally whispered to James during Potions class when Slughorn was helping another student.

"Uh-huh?" James asked, still staring at you know who.

Sirius rolled his eyes. He seemed to be doing a lot of that lately. "Little miss Flower girl, I mean!"

James managed to spare Sirius a glance, but then continued staring.

"She's hated you since forever. What makes you think this year is going to be any different?"

James shrugged. "We're older. More mature."

Elizabeth, who had been sitting on the other side of James, heard this and snorted. "Maybe Lily is, but you? Not possible."

James glared at her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yes! Finally, a distraction from the Flower Girl!" Sirius exclaimed in delight. "A QUIDDITCH MATCH!"

James sighed. "Right."

Sirius frowned.

So did Elizabeth.

"Come on James, you love Quidditch matches! Just stop staring at her for ONE day so we can win this, okay?" Elizabeth pleaded.

"Yeah. Do it for Lizzy!" Sirius cheered.

James sighed. "Okay."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, look on the bright side. We won." James said.

"Yeah. And I'm stuck here in the stupid hospital and she tells me I can't ever play Quidditch again." Elizabeth said bitterly.

A bludger had hit her left arm, the arm with the hand that she was used to reaching out and grabbing the snitch.

"Well…at least you didn't break your writing arm."

Elizabeth snorted. "It wouldn't matter, I'd still be able to write. She can mend things really easily. It's just because I'd broken this arm so many times that it's just really really sore. And it probably won't get better for-"

"A really really long time." Madam Pomfrey said sternly, walking from her office.

James stared in shock. "So…no seeker. We're right back where we bloody damn started!"

Sirius nodded sullenly.

Then he perked up.

"Well…what if she traded positions with someone?" He suggested.

"She can't play beater, or keeper because she'd have to use two arms…" James said slowly.

"But she throws with her right hand so…" Sirius added

"So she could be a…a…" James said.

Sirius groaned. "You're so slow James. She could be a chaser!"

"THAT'S IT!" James screamed in delight. "She could trade places with…with…"

"YOU!" Sirius and Elizabeth shrieked at the same time.

"Me?" James asked, shocked.

The other two nodded.

James grinned. "Yeah, okay."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this one's a bit longer than the other ones so…

I know in the book that it says James Potter was the youngest seeker of his time period or whatever, but I've got an explanation for that later, so just in case you were wondering. I hate how I can't put smiley faces in the text. frowns but oh well.

hope you liked!

Review!
