A/N: Hey Readers! Sorry it took so long to update, I just got braces, and school has been so time consuming I can hardly keep up with homework. Please forgive me Sashi, I know I said I'd update when someone guessed who the boy was correctly, and you got it right faster than I could get time to upload! Anyway, this chapter heats up the early "friendship" Scottie & Lily have, and the early "friendship" Lily & James have, and thanks to all my reviewers, and to my friends.
Meanwhile, I would like you to help me with a few ideas for super powers, if you have any, please send them through your reviews and I'll mention you in my next chapter! Please R&R!

Chapter 7- Fellowship of the Phoenix- A Mix-up and Quidditch Things
"I see you finally got home Maggie." The boy said looking at Maggie.
"I'm not Maggie." Maggie lied, "She is." Pointing to Lily, and trying not to laugh. "I'm Lily."
The boy gave the real Maggie a puzzled, but not completely confused look.
Charlotte was desperately trying to keep herself from laughing, and she was beginning to lose.
"Charlotte are you alright?" The boy asked. Once again, in a puzzled manner.
"Sure… sure James, it's just the fact that you have- I mean- had your own cousin mixed up with Lily." Charlotte gasped.
James heard every word Charlotte had said, and he knew she was hopeless at keeping secrets. He smiled at Charlotte in an "I'll-play-along-but-I'm-on-to-you" sort of way, and began walking over to the real Lily, laughter in her eyes.
"Well welcome home then, Maggie." James struck the word 'Maggie' with emphasis.
"Um- thank you-" Lily stifled the laughter she felt inside, and looked at Maggie. She didn't know his name.
"James!" Maggie mouthed to her.
"- James." Lily tried to keep the giggles inside. He must have been confused.
However, Lily finally collected enough courage to look him in his hazel eyes, and she saw a knowing look, and a mischievous, yet compassionate shine was to his eyes. Lily could tell he was Maggie's cousin. They had the same smile, joyful and friendly, and they both had hazel-green eyes. And he looked as if he knew their joke, although thanks to Charlotte, Lily didn't doubt that he did.
Speaking of Charlotte- she was sprawled on the floor, mouth covered, holding her stomach, with closed eyes wrapped in pure giggles, and tears of laughter were escaping her brown eyes. The entire group, before long, was enveloped in laughter.
James looked at his real cousin. She was also beginning to fall on her knees from laughing like Charlotte.
Then he looked at Lily. Her eyes were dancing in happiness, though she was composed, and standing, as she giggled along with her friends. She looked up at him, and partially stopped though she still smiled. A beautiful loving smile, just like his Aunt Margaret, Maggie's mother, and Maggie herself would always smile.
Then he saw it, not knowing exactly what it was. Only knowing it added to the wonderful sparkle of her eyes.
The healer jewel.

All Lily could think about that night, were the flying lessons she was to have before a three-on-four game with Maggie, Charlotte, James, Scottie, and Lydia.
After they had finished laughing, the girls introduced Lily, and asked James if he would join them for a game of quidditch at the pitch the next day.
He had accepted, on the condition, with Maggie, that Sirius, a boy named Remus, and a boy named Peter, both of whom Lily didn't know, could join them.
Then she fell into her dreams.
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
"Lily, take Harry and go he's found us!"
Lily was horrified. The haunting dream was back!
The same Evil voice. Only this time she understood the spell, and knew whose voice the snake-like drawl belonged to.
Voldemort.
The curse remained in her head for what felt like hours. And this time she heard all of what the woman said.
The curse, avada kedavra, sounded.
The man fell to the floor.
Only this time she felt she knew the man, and her thoughts were confirmed, as she heard the woman shriek the name logged in her head.
James
For a moment, everything was frozen, though Lily herself could move. The older Lily, however, was the only other moving, her fingers in a strange position.
The baby boy was frozen in a position, wide-eyed, and innocent in her arms.
Voldemort had his wand still directed at the dead man who was lifeless, and staring up through full moon glasses with hazel eyes.
Yet, the woman was walking freely setting the frozen baby down in a crib, and walking towards her frozen, lifeless husband.
She kissed him once, then looked to the very place where Lily was, as if she knew Lily was there. Sparkling tears falling down her pearl cheeks, and she looked at the man again. She whispered with a sad smile.
I love You.
The woman walked back to the baby, and picked him up. She strode quickly to the closest door, and whispered something Lily couldn't hear to the baby boy. The woman looked up again, rose her right hand, and clicked her fingers together.
Instantly, Lily heard a scream, and jolted awake.
"Lily are you alright?" Maggie and Charlotte were cowering over Lily's sweat drenched face.
"Bad dream!" Lily answered.
"Are you sure it wasn't more? You were screaming out James' name once, and then you were just lying there shrieking. It was rather awful." Maggie told Lily.
"I was scream-" But in that instant, the door swung open to reveal Scottie standing in the doorway.
"I heard a bunch of screams, what are you guys doing playing murder? Besides we need to get down to the pitch soon it's past seven already." And he walked out.

Lily and her friends rushed down to breakfast, shoveling forks full of pancakes in their mouths once Maggie and Charlotte had become quite content Lily would be okay. Then quickly raced back up again to get changed.
Lily wore a pair of long comfortable brown pants that ruffled in the wind, and a nice white tee. Her hair was in an easy knot that looped in the back gracefully.
Maggie wore a pair of middle-length light blue pants, and a light brown top. Her hair was in a French braid, to the compliments of Lily, which bounced behind her when she walked.
Charlotte wore a yellow top, and a pair of short, light brown cacky pants. Her hair was in a simple ponytail, which waltzed behind her as she ran down the stairs.

Maggie led the way down the now familiar path, to the Potter's home. She brought them to a small shed, a little ways from the pitch. She pressed the door in to a stash of brooms all lined up horizontally on each wall.
There must have been every kind of broom inside. Comet's, Saturn's, Cleansweep's, Lunar's, and so many others that Lily had read about!
"What about your Starlight 2000 Mag?" Charlotte asked.
"Oh yeah! That reminds me I have a special surprise for you when I get back." Maggie began to run towards the house.
It didn't take Maggie very long to come back. She held three brooms in her arms.
She handed one to Charlotte and one to Lily. They both had a special note attached.
To My New Twin Love Maggie
Lily smiled gratefully. They really felt like sisters now anyway. She looked down at the broom, and saw something embossed in gold lettering.
It was a Lonestar!
It was the fastest broom before Maggie's, but it was for her, it was too much, she couldn't accept it.
"Maggie you didn't have to get me this." However Lily's modesty was drowned out by Charlotte's squeals of joy. She jumped and hugged Maggie, thanking her millions of times for the broom she'd gotten. An Apollo 58, another one of the fastest models before Maggie's broom.
"I hoped you'd like them." Maggie smiled, "Now let's try them out." And Lily's lessons began.
Soon Lily was flying, inventing tricks to show-off,and enjoying herself more than ever. Completely oblivious of the audience, come to watch in the small set of bleachers below.
There was a group of not only kids, but a few of the parents had come to watch their children.
Emmitt was below commenting on the great job Lily did for someone riding a broom for the first time, and praising his closest older sister.
Willam and Elizabeth were complimenting each of the girls on their ability for flying.
Mrs. Potter had just come out to watch. She too was squealing at all the tricks the girls pulled, especially when they started passing a quaffle around.
Then there were the rest of the players.
Lydia stared in disbelief. At first she had looked at Lily and thought it was Maggie. Then Anne set her straight, because he had seen the girls leave, and Maggie hadn't been wearing a white tee.
Scottie too was amazed. Lily was already doing better on a broom then he had at the beginning of the summer!
"Who is that?" James said pointing at Lily.
"That doesn't look like your cousin mate. Do you think so Emma?" The boy named Sirius stated to a girl their age with long ebony black hair, snow shine skin, and sapphire eyes, wearing a light blue quidditch skirt, and a blue skinny sleeved top.
"That's not Maggie." The girl said.
"No, I've never seen her before." The new boy Remus answered.
"She's really good!" The new boy Peter exclaimed.
James stared. He knew who she was. Though he couldn't believe it. Maggie had explained she was a new addition to the wizarding world, however he never thought someone on a broom for the first time could be such a quick learner. Much less someone who'd never even seen a quidditch match before. He thought it was rather amazing.
He thought she was rather amazing.
And that's how James Potter began to fall for Lily Evans.

"Alright, this is going to be a one beater, one keeper, two chaser, and one seeker game." Lydia began. "Who are the captains going to be?"
Scottie and James raised their hands, and Charlotte shouted,
"I nominate Lydia! We need a girl and a boy captain otherwise it won't be fair."
Then Sirius spoke up. "We could just play boys against girls." All the guys nodded.
Then the new boy Remus spoke up, "That would give you girls an advantage with Lydia."
"Thank you Remus, but that wouldn't be fair." Lydia started, "You see Lily is new on a broom, and besides James and Scottie are too good for the balance to remain equal." And the debate was ended.
"The question still remains," The girl named Emma spoke up, "Who are the captains?"
"Well since Lydia is the only girl who was nominated, she should be a captain. If she wants to." Maggie stated.
Lydia shook her head, "That, aswas said, gives my team too much of an advantage. Scottie and James are the captains. Sorry Lottie." Lydia apologized. Charlotte looked very down trodden, and gave a few protests before finally being consoled by her older sister.
"Alright, then I choose first because I'm older." Scottie stated.
"Fine." James replied.
All the players lined up, and Scottie rubbed his chin in thought. He looked down the line.
James will probably choose his regular horde, so that knocks out Sirius, Remus, and Peter. But, I need to pick the next person he would want on his team. James can usually tell how the odds will work out with a certain combination of players, so he'll want the team that's in his favor. Scottie thought to himself.
He looked at all the players he could choose from. Emma was okay, but she cared too much about her hair, and James would probably want her too for Sirius' sake.
Lydia was really good, but he could choose her after James chose Sirius.
Charlotte was great, and so was Maggie, but James wouldn't be much at a loss if he chose one of them.
Then there was Lily.
He remembered seeing her practicing, she had executed some plays of every position perfectly! Plus she was new at the game, so the others might play nice on her more so then the rest of the team, which would give her an advantage!
He had also seen how James was staring at her while she was practicing with Charlotte and Maggie. It would truly be a loss to James's idea of the perfect team.
"I choose Lily!" He shouted.
James gave a frown in dismay, she would have been his first choice as well.
As for Lily, she looked up in all astonishment. Had she heard correctly? Had Scottie really picked her first? All eyes were looked her way, like a spotlight upon her on a stage. She quietly picked up her broom, as Scottie motioned her to his side, he looked quite pleased with himself.
Lily gave a sideways glance at James, her head bowed, he looked very put out, and seemed to be mourning the loss of her, rather than debating whom he should choose next.
James noticed her gaze, he stared back with his piercing hazel eyes, and gave a gesture with his hand, and mouthed the words bring it on, as Sirius took his place next to James.
Lily, feeling slightly put down, and a little more courageous and competitive gave her reply.
I intend to. She mouthed with a slight smile, and James only raised his eyebrows accepting the challenge.
A/N: I'd especially like to thank Maurder032, your review about the Scottie&Lily relationship vs. the Lily&James relationship inspired me to rewrite the end of this chapter to the way you see above. Thanks!
