Chapter 4: Quidditch

"Good luck," Lily said hugging her brother. "Yeah mate," Sate grinned. "Remember, both our parents are quick ass Quittitch players, you've got the genes," Sirius proclaimed. "Language, Sirius, language," Keegan laughed, playfully punching Sirius's arm. James took a deep breath. He noticed Claire and her friends doing the same thing. "Is Gillespie trying out too?" James asked hoping for the answer "yes". "Yup," Tala said smirking. James left for the field as Claire did.

"Hey, trying out?" James asked catching up with Claire's long strides. "No duh," Claire sarcastically said. "Ouch, that hurt," James laughed. "Sorry, I'm freaked," Claire apologized. "That's ok. I'm James Potter by the way," James confidently smiled. "Claire Gillespie." The two flirted all the way down to the pitch. "Good luck!" Claire giggled as the reached the pitch. She ran of to talk with a third year girl.

James stood there in his Quidditch uniform. He watched as Claire stood ahead of him. There was a gap for two beaters and they both wanted a spot. "Gillespie, get up here!" Justin yelled, handing her a bat. "Get up in the air and when the bludger comes near you hit it," he instructed. Claire flew into the air with an amazing grace. The bludger began to come in close proximity to Claire. She swung the bat with extreme force. The bludger went hurtling back. "C'mon down!" Justin hollered. "You did awesome, best so far, you've got a spot!" Justin said happily. Claire began jumping around and ran over to her friends Andrea and Rae. "Potter, get out of dream land and get your ass in gear," Justin said. "Do the same as Claire," he instructed. James mounted his broom and took off. The cold September breeze lashed his face. Swing. James hit the bludger brutally. "C'mon Potter, get down here," Justin hollered from the ground. James flew down. "You have the spot," Justin smirked. "Gillespie, Potter, hope you two like each other cause you guys are gonna be seeing a lot of each other," Justin pointed out. James had absolutely no problem with this, and he didn't know that neither did Claire. The two smiled at each other timidly. "Practice is tomorrow at 6 am sharp."

"Congrats," Claire beamed. She bent down to pick a lone daisy. "You too," James laughed nervously. "You're really good, where did you learn?" Claire questioned. "Well," James began, "both my parents are awesome players. My dad was a seeker in his first year." "But you and I are beaters, and we both got in when we were first years," Claire said. "Never mind. Where did you learn?" James retorted. Claire began to look down at the flower. She twirled it in her hands. "I know this sound cliché, but it just comes naturally," Claire replied, looking up at James to grin. James felt a surge of bliss come over his body. Soon they reached the portrait of the fat lady. "Well what do we have here?" the fat lady rang. "Chocolate Frogs," James muttered, embarrassed.

As they stepped through the doorway, Sirius came rushing in front of the two. "Get in?" Sirius eagerly chirped. "We both did," Claire interfered. Sirius glared at her for a moment, then a wide, stupid, idiotic smile lit his face. "Good for you," Sirius said, nudging James in the ribs. "See you at 6 James," Claire grinned, running to meet up with Andrea and Rae. "My God! Claire told us you got in!" Tala screamed, dashing up, pulling Lily and Greer along. As Tala shouting stopped, Greer slammed into Sirius, knocking the both of them down. This caused both to blush, especially Sirius. "Okay?" he asked, helping her up. "Yeah, I'm okay. You?" "Fine." There was an awkward moment until the attention returned to James. "James, this is so cool!" Keegan said. "Wait till Mum and Dad hear!" Lily exclaimed.

Suddenly Claire, Andrea, and Rae came up behind the group. Claire tapped James shoulder. James whirled around. "What?" he asked shyly. "Party tonight. Room of Requirements. One hour," Claire whispered, then she added, pointing to James, "you must be there."
