A/N; To all of my wonderful reviewers. I apologize for my grammar/spelling mistakes. I barely passed my english class. (As you can tell lol) so my grammar skills are close to a big fat zero. That and I don't have a beta reader.
They woke up late had to hurry down to the great hall. Breakfeast had already been served and Sirius and James practically ran to an empty space at the Griffindor table. Remus stayed back with the Sidney and Lily and sat between Lily and Sirius.
"So James. When's the next Quidditch practice?" Sidney asked piling food onto her plate.
Sirius and James dropped their forks at her question.
"No Sid! Absoutley not! You cannot play in your condition as captain I simply won't allow it." James said folding his arms in protest.
"Yeah Sidney, have you simply lost it!" Sirius said as more of a statement than a question.
"No I have not, and as for you James I think I should decide when I won't be able to play anymore."
"Sidney your the keeper! Your job is to get hit! One good smack in the stomach and it's over."
Sirius and Sidney both cringed at the thought. Sidney hung her head in defeat. "Okay James you win." She said quietly. Quiddditch was her outlet from stress and she simply loved the game. Maybe even more than Sirius and James. She wanted to cry for the loss, but she wouldn't allow herself to cry in the middle of the great hall.
"Oh now come on baby doll. How 'bout I let you pick your replacement? It's only for a little while." James said in an attempt to comfort her.
"The school year's gonna be over by then! There's no way in hell I'm going to get on a proffessional team anyway!"
"Sidney..."
"No just forget it!" She got up and stormed off leaving James and Sirius to their own musing.
"I'm going after her." Sirius said getting up from his seat. Lily grabbed his arm as he walked past her.
"No Sirius. Just leave her be."
"Lily."
"Just take your seat Sirius."
He went back over to his seat and sat down.
"What was that about?" Peter said watching Sirius take his seat.
"Just back off Wormtail." Sirius growled.
"Okay.." He said taking another bite of his breakfeast.
Sidney was outside in the Quidditch stands watching the Ravenclaws practice. Wiping away her tears only for more to come. She'd never play again and it was killing her. She felt the baby move and she put her hand on her still flat stomach. She smiled and stopped crying. It could be worth it.
The rest of them had finished their breakfeast and it was almost time for class and Sidney still hadn't shown up. Sirius looked frantic, James looked guilty. Remus looked concerened and Lily looked annoyed.
"Look the three of you go to class. I'm going to go look up in our room for her, cause she's probably there. Sirius,Sirius look at me."
He snapped out of it and looked in Lily's direction. All of his fear melted at the look in her eyes.
"It's going to be fine. She's okay,"
"Alright Lily. Thank you." He hugged her and went to class behind James and Remus. Lily went out to the Quidditch field and walked up to the stands. She knew she'd be up there watching practice. She saw Sidney, her elbows propped up on her knees, with her head resting on her knuckles. She was watching the practice contently and Lily thought about just leaving her alone, but then decided against it.
"What's going on?"
"Ravenclaw. I'm not supposed to be watching them but I won't ever get to play again. So they won't have to worry about me."
"Sid. I'm gonna tell you what I tell James all the time. Quidditch is just a game. You will gain a lot more than you lose from just letting it go now."
"I know, but Lily losing Quidditch to me is like losing James to you."
" James is important to me, but I could live without James. You get hit in the stomach you will lose the baby. By then you or Sirius couldn't live."
"Aren't you supposed to be in class or something Miss I know everything?"
"That's where your supposed to be."
"Well come on and I'll walk with you."
Sidney smiled and stood up and followed her friend to class. They were about ten minutes late and the Proffessor wasn't happy about it.
" I'm glad the two of you have decided the rest of us,"
"Oh it was no problem. " Sidney said taking her seat behind James and Sirius. Sirius snickered into his sleeve. Lily sat down quickly next to her.
"Fifteen points from Griffindor, for Ms. Edwards lack of courtesy and respect."
"I had a previous engagement!"
"Five points for back-talking."
"That's not fair!"
"Five more, Ms. Edwards! We can keep going."
"Proffessor Beegley!"
"Five more and dentention after school Ms. Edwards. Now sit down and turn in your books to 245" He said turning his back to Sidney. She threw herself into her seat and slammed her books down. Creating as much noise as possible making Lily jump at the same time.
They got done with their first class. Sidney had stayed behind, but the other three of them were headed down the corridors. Sirius and James were absorbing in Sidney's actions.
"The way she told Beegley she had something else going on!" James said laughing "That was hilarious."
"I knew she was my girlfriend for a reason!"
"And that's because she's exactly like you and doesn't know when to shut up?" Remus said mockingly.
"Sidney's the exact opposite from Sirius Remus. She does it with class." Lily said correcting him.
"Hey I have plenty of class. Thank you very much. As I rember before Sid I was never without a girlfriend." He said proudly.
"Oh, you do mean you were never without an easy girl who you could have some fun with and leave for the next who would gladly have you right?"
James busted out laughing as did Remus. Lily was waiting on his response. Sirius hadn't expected her to say something like that.
"That's not true. I've had girlfriends."
"Oh yeah? Name one."
"Ummmmm."
"Exactly."
Sidney was standing infront of Proffessor Beegley's desk waiting for her 'punishment'. He was taking his sweet time with it and Sidney was running out of patience quickly.
"Report here at 6;30 and you can help scrub out the cauldrons."
"That's fine." She said through her teeth before storming out of the room. She ran smack into Peter and they both fell down.
"Oh Sidney! I'm sorry Sidney! I'm sorry! Please don't tell Sirius! I'm sorry!" He rambled. She got back up and held up her hand to silence him.
"It's okay Peter. It was my fault." She said quietly.
"If you don't mind me asking. Where are the rest of them?"
"They're probably headed for next class. I got held back."
"Well...would you mind if I walked with you?"
"Sure Peter. You can walk with me."
The two of them headed for their next class, which to Sidney's appreciation they were on time for.
