Ch. 11- Flying Without Wings

"Gotta love quidditch" Jordan sighed as Lily, Jordan, and megan headed across the grounds towards the quidditch pitch on the morning of the ever exciting Gryffindor-Slytherin match.

"Hopefully Gryffindor can put on a better show this year. Last year was embarrassing" Lily stated flinching at the thought of gryffindors 300-50 loss the pervious year.

"This year I think we have a better team." Megan added "and besides, last year Potter was sick in the hospital wing and Remus had to step in as seeker"

Jordan nodded her agreement

"Gosh you act like the rest of the team is crap." Lily snapped.

"No we're not" Megan responded calmly.

"Hopefully Gryffindor found someone decent for Keeper since Mitchell left last year." Jordan said referring to Ryan Mitchell, gryffindors keeper. He had been on the team since his second year and was offered a spot on Englands National Quidditch team. Unfortunatly for gryffindor, he had finished at Hogwarts the previous year and left gryffindor to find a new keeper.

"Didn't you go out with him Lily?" Megan asked.

Lily glared, "I went out with him once. Ugh, he was such a jerk. He was almost as bad as Potter"

"Hey Lils, how come you can't go 5 minutes without mentioning Potter?" Jordan asked.

"What are you talking about?" Lily demanded.

"Well you say you hate him but you're always talking about him so I just thought you know, you had a little crush on him" Jordan stated shyly not looking at Lily.

Lily stopped walking, "are you insane? I don't have a crush on Potter."

"Ok I just thought that-" Jordan began but Lily had started to walk towards the quidditch pitch. The other two girls ran to catch up to her and when they got close to the pitch there was a jam of students trying to go in. One they had finally pushed through they found seats in the top row and watched as the two teams marched onto the field. The girls cheered as the Gryffindors walked onto the pitch, and booed as the slytherins came out. The two captains, James Potter for Gryffindor and Matt Labinski for slytherin, shook hands and than the referee blew the whistle and the game began.

"And their off! Welcome to the first quidditch match of the season between Gryffindor and Slytherin!" James' friend Remus Lupin was doing the commentary, "Gryffindor in possession of the quaffle. Black passes to Lucas. Back to Bla-oh wait intercepted by Labinski of slytherin and they go the other way. Labinski dodges a bludger sent his way by Brian Lawrence. It's just him and the new Gryffindor keeper Allen McCain. This will be McCains first real test after replacing Ryan Mitchell who left at the end of last year, I hear he'll be playing with the English national team, and Labinski scores. 10-0 in favor of slytherin." Boos could be heard from the Gryffindor side, along with the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs who wanted to see the Slytherins defeated. However, the Slytherins made their cheers heard over the roar of booing from the rest of the stadium.

"Gryffindor back in possession after the slytherin goal. Lucas passes to Black. He dodges a bludger sent his way by Logan Ackland. Black passes the quaffle to Cam Rapkin, a good find by captain James Potter this year. Cam's a third year. Rapkin passes back to Black who dodges another bludger. He gets passed Avery Lamb, Connor Leavenworth, and Noah Hadley, the slytherin chasers and Cal Wallace hits a bludger towards Black, who dodges it. It's just Black and Ethan Mallard, slytherins keeper, and Black scores! 10-10 the score!" The Gryffindor supporters roared their approval.

The game continued until the score was 60-30 in favor of Gryffindor. James circled above the game looking for the snitch. He was being closely followed by the Slytherin seeker Andrew Thomas, who instead of looking for the snitch himself, decided to follow James and when he spotted the snitch try to beat him in the dive.

"…70-60 slytherin" Remus Lupin announced the crowd after Slytherin regained the lead after scoring 2 goals and hten being awarded 2 penalty shots, making both. Above the match, James, still being followed by Andrew, suddenly spotted something gold flying around during the slytherin goal posts. James turned his broom around sped in the direction of the snitch. Realizing he had spotted the golden snitch, Andrew took off after him. Within minutes James had reached the goalposts and had closed his hand around the tiny golden ball. James raised his arm into the air and the crowd erupted. The Gryffindors had won the game, As James was diving towards the ground, he felt something ram into the back of his head. He turned around and saw Cal Wallace holding his beaters bat and looking deadly. Madam Hooch, the referee flew up to Cal and started yelling at him. James barely reached the ground when he passed out.
