A/N I do not own Harry Potter and these characters are not mine. Enjoy my lovely readers. : )
Chapter 13:
Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Griffindor students made their way out to the Quidditch pitch after breakfast. Lily was in no mood to watch Quidditch, so she made her way up the stairs to go back to bed, but was caught out by McGonagall; who forced her to come and cheer for Griffindor. She made her way out to the pitch with the other students and sat in the Griffindor stands and waited patiently for it to start.
"Welcome to the third Quidditch Match of the season,"yelled out Keith Wellington.
"The two teams playing today are Slytherin and GRIFFINDOR, this game will defy the ranks between the houses!" Keith screamed over the top of the crowds cheers and boo's.
"I want a clean game from all of you," yelled the flying instructor, who eyed the team players as they flew onto the pitch.
The team captains eyed each other with pure hatred but shook hands anyway, not daring to drop the gaze between them.

The quaffle is up and Griffindor has the ball………
There was screaming and cheering from Griffindor, but boo's and hisses from Slytherins end of the pitch.
10 Griffindor, 0 Slytherin Keith yelled into the microphone as the game continued.
O'Brian has the quaffle, he races down the pitch…oooooo gets hit in the back by a bludger from Patterson, that was nasty. Gordon has the quaffle, he makes his way down the pitch, he shoots and he………scores, 10 points to Slytherin.

James takes off, flying through the sky, searching everywhere for that little sparkle of gold. He looks over to the stands and sees Lily sitting there looking as beautiful as ever, that pretty scarf around her neck and the ribbon in her wavy red hair. She was also cheering and booing. This made James chest flutter.
"She looks amazing" James thought to himself as he watched her.
BANG….
Shear pain went through James's right leg as he was knocked off his broom by a bludger. He grabbed the broom quickly and hung in mid air, holding onto the broom with only one hand. The pain in his right leg was overbearing but he knew he had to hold onto the broom. He swung his left leg over the broom, seating himself on the broom once again. He leaned into the broom clenching his leg.

"James is hit, oh my god" Lily cried out as she stood up and watched James hang in mid air.
"Potter is hit, Potter is HI; can he get back on the broom? YES he has made it, good on you James"
James heard the crowd applaud, he did a few loops and twirls and bowed his broom to the crowd.
"Show off" she smiled to herself as she watched the last of his twirls and bows.
"Is that the snitch?" Keith yells into the microphone.
The stands went silent as everyone looked around to find the snitch.
James looked up and saw the Slytherin seeker racing towards the stands. He looked over at the stands and that's where he saw it, the little golden snitch fluttering right next to Lily's ear.
James started racing towards the seeker, as he knew the Slytherin seeker wasn't going to stop at anything even if it meant hurting Lily.
James flew with all his might as he raced towards the seeker. He was near the brooms tail; he made grabbing movements at the broom but missed. The stand was getting closer and closer.

As Lily saw the bludger hit James she felt her stomach tie in knots. Her eyes filled with water as she saw his broken leg, but the pride in his eyes made her love him more. Lily had always had feelings for James; ever since their first interaction with each other, she knew she'd never feel these feelings for anyone else but him. She knew she was stubborn and kept grudges, but the way James had looked at her this morning made her think that maybe it wasn't a prank, that maybe it was his true feelings he was trying to show her.
"ARGHHHHHHHH" screamed the crowd that was in Lily's stand.
Lily looked around seeing students running from the crowded stand, but as Lily looked out to see why they were running. That's where she saw it, a little sparkle of gold, the snitch was right next to her and the seekers were coming for it.
Lily sat there petrified, her legs felt like jelly and her mind was a total blank. The mix of green and gold were coming closer to her, Lily closed her eyes not bearing to watch, but out of nowhere she felt a muscled arm grab her around the waist and hoist her up into the air.

"Lily, Lily" whispered a soft voice in her ear.
Lily opened her eyes and saw James's concerned face looking at her. She looked around and saw she was up in the sky sitting on James's broom.
"Oh my god" cried out Lily as she grabbed onto James neck, chocking him as she held on for dear life.
"Lily, its ok" coughed James as he grabbed her arms and pulled them off his neck.
Lily looked at him and smiled, she felt dizziness sweeping through her.
"You saved my life" Lily whispered to him as she fainted in his arms.

Thank you so much for the lovely reviews they are great, I don't mind if you keep reviewing the more reviews the better, I am so glad you are all enjoying my story it makes me feel proud tear. Anyways thanks for the help with the story line everyone but I say butterfly26 wouldn't it be a bit boring if I end it like that? as most of the stories I have read end somehow like that.
