Dedicated to All Reviewers!!

Ciao, Halle!

Sirius made his way into the changing room; Davey Gudgeon and Sam Watts closely followed him with their broomsticks over their shoulders and confident looks on their faces.

Sirius found a suitable peg by the Quidditch entrance; he cast a nervous glance around the room and began to change into the Quidditch robes.

'I hope you're all ready for this,' Jennifer Carter told them, smiling round at them all.

'Now, we've been practicing for a couple of months and I don't want to alarm anyone but Hufflepuff are a strong team,'

Sam Watts snorted; pulling on his Quidditch robe

'Hufflepuff?' he choked 'a strong team, you've got to be joking, Carter,'

'They are a strong team,' Jennifer said firmly, 'I should know, I have after all known their captain for some time,'

'We're talking about Quidditch Strength, Jen, not how strong Amos' Diggory's lips are,' Serena Phillips joked, tossing Lyn Sykes a spare set of gloves. Jen blushed ever so slightly and threw a dark look in Serena's direction, Serena grinned apologetically, though Maria and Jonathan Williams grinned at one another and back to Jen.

'We will win, and another thing,' Jen added, slightly hesitantly, she paused in her pacing 'please, try not to listen to the commentators, if you can help it,' the whole Quidditch team glance in James direction.

Sirius wasn't paying attention.

'What?' he said, as he shrugged and smiled slightly.

'James, we all know you have a bit of a temper,' Jen began.

'And it does sometimes go overboard with Snape,' Sam interjected.

'And how we've forfeited two matches with you, losing your rag, so to speak,' Davey said helpfully

'So, we were hoping for you to keep your temper down, and try not to listen to the Daniels commentary,' Jen added firmly, a shrill whistle blew and all eyes were still on James Potter.

'Fine,' Sirius shrugged, though to all the Quidditch team it was James shrugging and not protesting for once and they were all identically shocked.

'Have you just agreed with us,' Sam said in disbelief as he took the Quidditch crate down from the shelf.

'Well let's get on with the game,' Jen said loudly, putting an end to all conversations and the teams prepared to march out.

The roar of the crowd was tremendous and Sirius, nervous as he was, couldn't help being swept up in the emotion that the crowd seemed to be giving him. He never imagined it would feel like this, there was still the smaller detail of that he couldn't fly that well, but he felt he could at least try with the uproar the crowd had given him.

Sirius soon understood why Jen had told everyone, and specifically him, not to listen to the Commentators, Daniel and Daniel. Sirius couldn't believe how much they slagged James of, he kicked of the ground and wobbly, but surely lifted of the ground and high into the air. Elsewhere James was sat with Lily in the stands, Lily was under the impression she was watching her boyfriend flying out there, but in fact he was really sat right next to her, in mind anyhow.

'Is James okay?' Lily voiced peering up at who she believed was James.

'He's fine,' James answered 'he got up late this morning that's all,' Lily turned to who she thought was Sirius and frowned slightly at him.

'You're being awfully civil this morning, did you eat something nasty last night?'

'No,' James said quickly 'I'm allowed to be nice to you aren't I?'

'Yes,' she paused and turned back to him 'but you usually aren't, oh James! He nearly fell of his broom!!' and Lily spun back to concentrating on the game. Mean while the commentators were bickering among themselves over the speaker.

"And these two formidable teams are looking good, but Potter seems to have a broom ache, why he's all over the place. I think his head weighs too much and he's falling down,' Danny Hutton yelled into the microphone, it was a little well known fact that he had a personal grudge against James after James had started rumours about him cheating on Kirsty.  Kirsty was probably the only girl who had believed the rumours and gone skits at Danny; everyone else had had a go at James, including Kirsty's best friend and James' girlfriend, Lily.

'How about for once you leave Potter alone and start slagging of your own team for a change, and Hufflepuff haven't won a match since 1971 when the legendary crap player, Thomas Elwood played for them, where he only let in thirty seven goals. You should stick your tongue down someone else's throat like you usually do,' Daniel Black roared into the microphone, there was a sharp tap on the glass and a irritated and furious McGonagal glared at each of them and mouthed to them to stop bickering and get on with the commentary.

'Oh and look at the dirty tackle by Amos Diggory ! There worse than Slytherine and its Watts in possession of the quaffel, passes to Carter who shoots and Scores!!! And I would Score with that girl any day!' Daniel roared, clapping with the rest  as he changed the core boards to Ten- Nil.

'And its Halle to kick of, she passes smartly to my girlfriend, Kirsty,' Daniel laid a delicate stress on the word "my" as he spoke and glanced at Daniel. 'Then the quaffel is intercepted by Quinn who passes neatly to Phillips, and the quaffel is intercepted by a square attack from a bludger, sent flying over by Gudgeon, what a-'

'HUTTON!' McGonagal said threateningly from behind them, Danny returned to his clean commentary.

'And Hufflepuff are chasing up the filed, can Diggory do it? Can he beat Carter? And what is happening to Potter?' Daniel black asked, looking up at the Gryffindor Seeker in amazement.

Sirius was wobbling uncontrollably, he was losing control of his broomstick, and he'd forgotten how hard it was to have control, the opposing seeker, Jocelyn Creed, smiled worriedly at him, her golden hair wafting in the wind.

'Are you alright, Potter?' her Irish accent shining through, though her eyes were still scanning the field for the golden snitch, Sirius was all over the place as his broom swayed from left to right. He attempted a dive to gain his bearings, but failed miserably as he nearly fell of it, Jennifer who was flying around near him looked very worried, as if she wanted to forfeit the match.

'Sykes is up and takes a bludger to the head, wonderful skills displayed there by Hufflepuff's most treasured beater, Bettany, get one back for the Badgers, Bettany!'  

Jocelyn suddenly spied a glimmer of gold hovering by the Hufflepuff goal posts, she sped of up the field and Sirius attempted to fly after her, though with great difficultly, did he succeed in catching up with her.

'Has he forgotten how to ride?' Lily asked, her voice full of concern

'No,' James said quickly, resisting to kiss Lily was becoming harder as she suddenly rested her hand on his lap as she stood up and yelled for James.

'C'mon James!'

'Potter is off Form and lets hope it stays that way, the arrogant, good for nothing-'

'HUTTON!' McGonagal roared warningly

'Sorry,' he smirked at Daniel who was a good friend to the Marauders 'I meant Selfish, back stabbing piece of sh-'

'HUTTON!!!  Black!! Do something,' McGonagal added, tapping her favourite student and nephew on the shoulder.

'And this game gets dirtier and dirtier, and Creed has dived with Potter….behind, now this I can't believe, Yes, Creed has caught the Snitch,' Daniel sighed depressively, Danny Hutton looked immensely proud of himself and held out his hand to Daniel who reluctantly gave him a bag of Knuts and Sickles.

A silence lay over the crowd, even Professor Sprout, head of Hufflepuff house couldn't believe they'd won and defeated Gryffindor, especially defeated James Potter.

The mood was very sombre in the changing rooms, Jen had headed to the showers instantly upon entering, Gryffindor had scored twice before Creed had grabbed the snitch, many of the players couldn't believe that James had missed a catch. But Davey, at least, was sympathetic, especially when Serena started laying into James.

'What was up with you, you couldn't even fly straight!'

'Hey,' Davey protested, comforting James 'leave him, cut him some slack,'

'WE LOST!' Serena yelled to the room, all were thinking it, it seemed she was the only one brave enough to voice it in front of James 'FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TWENTY YEARS!'

'Look, anyone can have a bad day,' Maria pointed out who was sat on the other side of James, 'we've had bad days,'

'Yeah,' Serena replied 'BUT WE NEVER LOST!'

Shortly afterwards, once most of the Quidditch team had left, Lily appeared with Sirius by her side who looked devastated and smiled weakly.

'Oh James,' Lily sighed sympathetically and she embraced him warmly.

'Not bad, Prongs,' James said bravely, though you could tell he was a little upset. 'Better look next time , eh?'

'Yeah, of course,' Sirius replied taking the quidditch gloves of and picking up his broom, he then turned to Lily 'Evans, I mean, Lily, can I have a word with Sirius alone?'

'Sure,' Lily replied sweetly, smiling slightly she added 'and don't be too long,'

'Go on' Sirius said sadly as he watched Lily leave 'say it, you're devastated,'

'Well, yes,' James said fervently 'we never loose, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, hopefully not literally of course,' and James smiled kindly 'c'mon, I'll treat you,'

'Treat me to what?' Sirius asked sceptically as James put an arm round his friend 'it better not be a-'

'It isn't, Sirius, its dinner on Saturday and Rose is coming back early,' James told Sirius as Lily joined them happily, she smiled contently as she took who she thought was James' arm, Sirius was still a little reluctant to Lilys touch but was starting to welcome it. The three wandered up to the castle together and Sirius was starting to think it wasn't bad being James.
