I do own Kadasa Mori and Samantha Selene and any of the characters I make up along the way.
I also don't own the places mention in here (Ex: Hogwarts, Hogwarts Express, Platform 9 ¾'s, etc.) Unless they're of my own creations (Ex: Sam's American home)
I never want to own Wormtail so you may have him.
Oh and I don't own any of the teachers… unless of course I make them up.
Yup… I think that's about it. Now on with the story!

He motioned towards the lake where Sirius was chasing a screeching Kadasa around.
"I'm sorry!" She wailed.
"You're gonna be when I catch you!"
"But you looked like you needed to cool off! It's not my fault!"
"Yes it is!"
"No it's not!"
"You're the one that dumped the bucket on me!"
"No I didn't! Just your 'magination!" She suddenly stopped dead and Sirius ran into her, both of them tumbling into the water.
She pounced on him. "Hah! Now who's fault is it!"
"Still yours!"
"No it's not!"
"Yes it is! You stopped!"
"Well you should've been watching where you were going!"
"Come on you two. You're acting like a married couple." James stated as he walked to the edge of the water. Sirius and Kadasa glanced at each other and grinned.
"Hey… wait… what are you… AUGH!" SPLASH!

His Parents' Time
Chapter 6 - Quidditch Try-Outs (Saturday, Sep 10th).

"Lily! Sammy! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"
Sam cracked open her eyes to see Kadasa running around the room like a maniac. "What's the matter?" She asked as Lily groaned across the room and pulled the covers over her head.
"Quidditch Tryouts are today! Uppidy Uppidy up up up!"
"Just a reminder," Lily groaned as she tired to curl back up in bed, "but I hate quidditch."
"So! I've been waiting a week for this! And you promised to come with me!"
"Kadasa!" Lily whined sitting up, all efforts of sleep abandoned. "You know I'm-"
Knock. Knock. Knock. Kadasa snapped her head towards the door then ran over flinging it open and grinning widely.
"Hiya!" She cried. Another 7th year Gryffindor boy stepped in, blond brown hair slicked back, chocolate brown eyes watching a hyper Kadasa bounce around the room.
"What are you do happy about?" He asked with a knowing smile.
"Quidditch try-outs! Quidditch try-outs!" She grinned brilliantly. "Yay! This is the best part of quidditch!"
"Why?"
"Cause I get to lob baseballs at everyone's heads to make sure they can catch it or hit it!" She grinned evilly. "Is Sirius up yet?" He shrugged. "Ben." She scolded. "You came and annoyed us girls first?" He grinned and nodded. "Okay. I'll go wake them up. Lily, Sam, when I get back I want to see you up and ready!" She chirped then tore out the doorway.

Sirius rolled over as the sun light hit his face, waking him from his slumber. He yawned widely then curled back up, trying to get some more shut eye. He would've succeeded if not for the door flinging open and Kadasa run into his room shouting 'Quidditch try-outs! Quidditch try-outs!'
Remus groaned. "I'm not in quidditch."
"So?"
"So let me sleep."
"But James and Sirius are."
"So bother them."
She walked over to Sirius' bed and poked him. "Up, up Sirius!" He growled.
"Go away. I'm sleepy."
"But Benny says time to awaken!"
"So?"
"But if you don't get up you'll get kicked off the team!"
He growled again and turned to her. "Go away and I'll get up."
She frowned then headed for the door. "I'll be back in 15 minutes. If you're not up by then I will force you to get up." She nodded then headed out the door. Sirius yawned and looked at Remus who shrugged and fell back into his pillow. Sirius smirked and did the same. Fifteen minutes later a shout echoed from the head boys dorm and a squealing Kadasa raced down the steps as a soaking wet James and Sirius chased after her.

James yawned as he walked down to the quidditch fields with everyone. Kadasa and Sirius were laughing about something, the water incident from this morning forgotten. Lily had said she had something to do and disappeared soon after breakfast. Sam and Kadasa had sighed but didn't tell the boys any more about it. Sam and Remus were currently discussing their last potions homework, while James walked ahead of them.
Reaching the fields he sighed, looking at what was left of the Gryffindor team was 4 seventh years; Kadasa, Sirius, James and Ben Ferio. Kadasa and Sirius were chasers, James the seeker, and Ben the keeper. They needed another chaser and two beaters. They had Garrett as a beater last year but he moved, Sam was the other beater but he had graduated, and their last chaser, Andrea, had been expelled for doing some illegal drinking.
Kadasa looked around at the new comers. There were a lot more people for the chaser position than for the beater position. She sighed, swinging her broom around so she was parallel with Sirius, their knees touching.
"What do you think?" She asked.
He glanced at her. "There are some with potential but many without."
"Isn't that usually how it is?"
"I guess so."
"But at least I get to lob baseballs at them."
He rolled his eyes. "Yes Kadasa, knock them off their brooms. That will make them join for sure."
She grinned brilliantly. "You think so?"
He sighed. "Sarcasm is lost on you isn't it?"
She shrugged. "I guess."
"Oi! Kadasa! Sirius! Stop flirting and get down here!" Ben called. Kadasa and Sirius scowled.
Kadasa lobbed a baseball at Ben's head, which he ducked to avoid.
As she landed on the ground she scowled at him. "You'd better be on your toes for try-outs. I have a box of baseballs and I'm not afraid to use them."
He rolled his eyes and turned to the new comers. "As you all know this is the Gryffindor try-outs for the quidditch teams. The four existing members are myself, Kadasa, Sirius, and James."
"Do we have any non-existing members?" Kadasa asked in a whisper. Sirius grinned as the newcomers laughed and Ben sent her a playful scowl.
"Anyway, all chasers, please follow James and I. All beaters follow Kadasa and Sirius."
"Yay! Sirius and I are partners!" Kadasa chirped. Sirius grinned and Ben sighed.
"Just focus on practicing, not flirting." Kadasa scowled at him and tossed another baseball in his direction, which he caught.
"Okay! Come on my little fledglings!" Sirius cried and flew into the air. Kadasa hopped on her broom and flew after him, the group of 7 beater try-outs following.
As soon as they were high enough she turned to them. "I can't just be calling you 'hey you' so what are all of your names?"
"I'm Sarah, 5th year."
"Anne 5th year."
"Bob 3rd."
"Henry 6th."
"Nigel 2nd."
"Lenny 4th."
"Fred 2nd."
"Okay-"
"Now don't feel bad if she gets your names wrong. She can't remember her own."
She scowled at Sirius. "I hate you."
"I know you do."
"Sirius! Kadasa! Stop flirting!" Ben called from across the field."
"I HATE YOU TOO!" Kadasa shouted back at him. "AND WE'RE NOT FLIRTING!"
"Jeez." Sirius scowled. "We can't even converse without someone saying we're flirting."
"No. Just near Ben."
"Yeup."
"Okay! Now, I want you guys to just fly around the field with your beater sticks. I'll be tossing baseballs at you at randomly so just be ready for it."
Meanwhile, at the other end of the field:
"So, I want you all to catch the quaffle from James then head for the hoops and try and score. I'll be guarding them so you'll have to try really hard."
"Arrogant." James coughed and Ben scowled at him.
"I can kick you off the team."
He scowled at him but flew to the other side of the field holding the quaffle.
"Ready, first up. Go!" Ben shouted. James flew forward and tossed the quaffle to the boy who caught it and flew at Ben tossing it but Ben caught it.
"Good job!" Ben called, tossing the quaffle back at James. They did this for 9 more players until they got to the very last one.
"Go!" The boy flew forward, catching the quaffle from James and tucking it under his arm then burst towards Ben. He headed for the left one but as Ben moved to intercept him he ducked towards the right hoop and tossed the quaffle through.
"Very good job!" Ben called flying down to pick up the quaffle. They suddenly heard a shout very close by.
"Waddiwasi!" Everyone turned just in time to see a baseball flying at most dangerous speeds towards Sarah who spun her broom around and with a surprising amount of force hit the ball so hard it flew to the other side of the field.
Kadasa grinned widely. "Can I accept her?" She asked a dumbfounded Ben who nodded. Sarah grinned brilliantly.
"One more." Kadasa winked. "These people better be on their guard."
Ben sighed rolling his eyes but turned back to the chaser try-outs. "All right. Let's practice this once more through all right?"
"Waddiwasi!" BANG! The baseball flew through the air after colliding with someone's beater bat and at another beater who yelped and dove out of the way, not having time to fumble for his bat.
Kadasa grinned muttering. "I think we've found our beaters."

In the end, it was Sarah and her twin sister Ann Scarlet who became the beaters, Thomas Johnson, the only one to get the quaffle past Ben, becoming the chaser.
Ann and Scarlet looked exactly alike except for the color of their hair and eyes and the way they acted. Sarah had blond-brown shoulder length hair and emerald eyes while Ann had red-blond shoulder length hair and violet eyes. Sarah acted like a teenager while Ann was still shy and quiet. They both were excellent beaters and could pass and shoot at any target on the field.
Thomas had short cut black hair that was pushed to the right side of his head. Baby blue eyes watched quietly and observed his surroundings to make the best of it. He was like Ann, shy and quiet but extremely smart and friendly once you got to know them.
"We have the best team ever!" Kadasa chirped.
"I know. We're gonna kick Slytherin's butt!" Sirius echoed.
Sarah looked over. "Is that who we're up against?"
"Yup." Ben said looking at the calendar. "In… 3 weeks. We'll have practice at least once or twice a week so old players can get used to playing and new players can learn our techniques."
Kadasa grinned. "And learn our goal right?"
"Kadasa…" Ben warned.
"What's our goal?" Sarah asked.
"To get Ben to swear before he graduates!"
"I can kick you off you know."
"You're no fun." Kadasa stated sticking her tongue out. "All for it?" Everyone cheered except Ben.
"My team is turned against me. How are we ever going to win?"
"Because we rock!" Sirius stated, everyone cheering again. Ben sighed but this time smiled. At least they'd have teamwork trying to get him to swear.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Author's NoteI used the trying to get him to swear before he graduated goal because that's my friends' goal. I don't even say jerk or moron aloud. Mentally sure, vocally no way.
Also, does anybody know how many people are supposed to be in the same grade in a house?
Yet again, thanks to my most faithful fans Michelle and HARRYFAN! You guys totally rock! I hope you're staying cool in this hot summer, wherever you might be, and are having a totally great summer!
Next Chapter: Chapter 7 Walk the HallsLily sighed as she got ready for another day of classes. She pulled on her robes just as the door flew open and a frantic Kadasa searched through the room.
"Ah! Where is it!" She cried.
Lily raised an eyebrow. "What are you looking for?"
"My potions essay…. Damn it! I bet Sirius nicked it!"
"Uh… Kadasa…"
"Find now. Talk later!" She cried as she sprinted out the door.
Lily raised an eyebrow looking at the essay lying on the table beside her and sighed.
