Chapter 8: Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw

A/N This is my first Quidditch scene so I hope it's ok :) oh and there's a tad bit of swearing :/

Izzie's POV

"LILY! Obtenez votre âne HORS DU LIT DÈS MAINTENANT! THERE'S A MATCH!" I yelled at a half asleep Lily. I was in the middle of getting changed. I was wearing red jeans with a gold belt, a gold top with Sirius' old Quidditch hoodie that said 'Black rules!' and my black converses. Oh and a Gryffie scarf.

"Bloody hell Izzie! You take Quidditch seriously," Lily said as she climbed out of bed and got dressed.
"Hurry up Lils. We gotta get good seats! Laura's gone down to get us some food!" I shouted. Lily came out the bathroom decked in Gryffindor colours. There's nothing like showing your House pride!
"Let's go!" Lily grabbed my hand and we ran down the stairs, out the common room and into the corridor.

"We're gonna be late!" Lily screeched. Not if I had anything to do with it.
"Lily do you trust me?"
"Yeah... Izzie what are you planning?"
"This."

I grabbed her hand and jumped over the banister. We were hurtling down at top speed towards the Entrance Hall. I casted a quick Cushioning charm on me and Lily. We stopped a few inches from the ground. I did the counter-charm and we fell to the ground with a flump in front of some people. That just so happened to be the Gryffindor Quidditch Team.

"What the fuck! What happened?" James shouted at us as we got up and dusted ourselves off.
"Well we thought we were going to be late so Izzie," Lily gave me a pointed glare, "decided 'Oh instead of running down stairs I'll just jump off them!" Lily answered. Everyone on the team stared at me like I was crazy. I'm not that crazy.

"Uhh... Yes you are love," Sirius smirked. Oops I said that out loud.
"Come on you nutcases. Let's get to the pitch," shouted a tall slim brunette girl who I knew to be Eliza Helmsley.
"That's right. Black, Potter get moving!" shouted a Prewett twin. It was impossible to tell them apart. I had Fabian as my Charms tutor in 1st year.

*FLASHBACK*

"I don't get it Fabes!" I complained. I was wasting a perfectly good Saturday.
"I'm not Fabian, I'm Gideon!" the ginger whined. I slammed the textbook on his fingers.

He winced and while he was checking his fingers, I put him on the Full Body-Bind curse. I levitated him and took him to the Gryffindor common room. As soon as people saw me, they shut up and stared at me. I ignored them and found my mates. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter.

"Sit on him in case he comes free." I ordered. They knew what I was about to do.
"FABIAN ANDREW JOHN PREWETT! GET YOUR LAZY ASS HERE NOW!" I screamed and people were making a path through to where he was hiding. Under a table.

He came out and dragged him by the ear to his twin. I woke up Gideon and started ranting at them. When I rant, I can go on indefinitely. I kept slapping them. I tied them up and ran up to their dorm. I charmed all their clothes pink and to sing Celestina Warbeck. The Prewetts now respect me.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

"Well our story isn't interesting so see you later! Do Gryffindor proud!" I had spotted Laura and ran towards her with Lily. We grabbed the food and ran to the pitch as we went. A few minutes after we arrived, I heard Remus' voice projected over the crowd.

"Welcome to the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw match. Out come the 'Claws. Captain and Seeker, Li Chang. Chasers the terrible triplets Aggie, Beth and Charlie. Beaters Harry Boot and Daniel Goldstein. And Keeper Matthew Jacobs!" Remus shouted and all the Ravenclaws screamed for their house.

"Aaannddd the mighty Lions!" The noise was deafening. "Captain and Chaser Fabian Prewett. Currently scared shit- Sorry Professor- stiff of my mate Izzie! Chaser no.2 resident brunette beauty Eliza Helmsley. Finally the 3rd Chaser, 4th years 2nd heart-throb, prank genius, Marauder and my best mate its JAMES POTTER!" I was screaming myself hoarse.
"Gideon Prewett Beater no.1 and again scared of my mate Izzie!" Remus shouted.
"WHAT DID I DO?!" I yelled.
"Beater no.2 4th years 1st heart-throb, prank genius, Marauder and my best mate SIRIUS BLACK!"
"Keeper and player of the team, JOEY CASTLE! Last but nowhere near least, our resident ditzy blonde, MARLS MCKINNON!"
She flew out like a bullet towards the box and yelled, "I'M NOT A DITZY BLONDE!"

"The captains play 'who can crush the others hand' and we are in play! Ravenclaw take the Quaffle and Beth shoots off down the field. Intercepted by Prewett who passes to Potter who has the new Nimbus. Potter feints then scores. 10-0 to the Lions!"
"Wait has McKinnon spotted the Snitch early? She's gone into a steep dive..." Remus' commentary carried on in the background. I looked up and saw James repeatedly scoring goals while everyone watched for the Snitch.

"Marlene McKinnon has just performed the perfect Wronski Feint! Go Marlene! The score is 190-0?! What? Back to the game. Now Marlene has actually spotted the Snitch. Chang's closely following..." Again whilst everyone was distracted James, Eliza and Fabian scored multiple goals.
"MARLENE MCKINNON HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WIN 560-90!" Me, Laura and Lils were screaming and running down to the pitch to congratulate them.

"PARTY IN THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM!" Sirius yelled. We found Marlene and dragged her up to the castle.

*10 minutes later*

"I can't find anything to wear!" I wailed. Marlene threw two dresses on my bed. Both were rather short. I grabbed the longer looking one and pulled it on. I grabbed my black ballet flats and put on my mascara. All us girls hurried down the stairs and into the common room. We grabbed a Butterbeer and started scanning the room for the Marauders. They spotted us first and boy, did they look MAD!

"What. Are. You. Wearing?" James and Sirius hissed at me.
"A dress?" I answered. The dress wasn't that short, was it?
"Yes it is! It's just a piece of BLOODY SHINY MATERIAL!" Sirius yelled.
"Why are you so bothered that Izzie's wearing a dress Sirius? It's not like her first time." Laura walked over with Remus.

"It is way too short and barely covers you! You're a beautiful 15 year old girl. Some boys might take advantage of you!" Sirius yelled.
"You think I'm beautiful?" I said quietly. I looked down as I felt heat rising to my cheeks. I peeked out at Remus who was smirking at Sirius and me. What did he know?

"Of course you're beautiful. Your eyes are like melted chocolate and your hair a gorgeous curly mess. Your smile makes everyone happy and your laugh. Merlin, your laugh is amazing! One giggle brightens my day even when I feel like shit. You're beautiful inside and out." Sirius finished his tirade and smiled goofily at me. Without thinking, I went and kissed Sirius on the cheek. The common room went silent.
"Brother dearest you owe me 5 galleons!" Fabian shouted. Money exchanged hands everywhere.

"Thank you Sirius. You're the first boy ever to call me beautiful," I whispered in his ear as I hugged him.
"Izzie thanks for being my first kiss!" He whispered and squeezed him tight.
Little did we know that was the first of many kisses, hugs and sweet things for a long time to come.

A/N I warn you later. There will be some sensitive topics.
