I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. That is all. Have a nice day!

Well I survived, the first few weeks of practice were grueling and definitely tested my patience. Luckily, after realizing I could keep up, the guys eventually stopped treating me like a baby and started respecting me as a player. In fact, we worked pretty well as a team and had a good chance of winning the house cup. However, there were instances of sexism or just pervertedness.

Like last week we had one of the warmest practices yet, the temperature reached 98 degrees F, and Mason was not letting up even a little. After, only two minutes we were all drenched in sweat. The boys began taking off their shirts, but Mason would have none of that, "Now men, we have a lady in our presence, I know it's hot but your shirts will remain on."

"Ah come on man, were dying!" McKinght protested.

"Yeah, what if Evans takes off her shirt, then we are all even!" said James.

That night I particularly enjoyed watching Potter struggle up the stairs, Mason had made him run all practice for that comment.

I smirked to myself, somehow ruining Potters day always made mine better. That's kind of the way our relationship works, ever since first year. We always have picked on, teased, and tried to out do each other in everything. Academically, I am a much better student, however, James is wickedly smart when he applies himself. I swear, if we just took a test without studying beforehand he would hands-down beat me. Of course I would never tell him that.

Finally, it was the day before our first game against Ravenclaw. And let me tell you I was a basket of nerves! The day before I had received a letter from the Ministry of Magic stating that they would send a representative to view the game and make sure it was the right choice to let me play. Also, it could potentially lead to co-ed Quidditch next year. But you know, no pressure on me or anything. Also, I wanted to prove myself to all the sexist boys out there who think a girl can't take care of herself and for all those girls who actually believe them.

I was walking around the lake to cool down my nerves and sort my thoughts, there was no way I could go back to my dorm because Alice, as much as I loved her, would probably talk my ear off. She has a thing for the other new chaser Frank, who apparently has a muggle girlfriend back home or something. I honestly don't care much for drama. But you know Alice always over analyzing the situation, and right now I don't think I can stand sitting there smiling, nodding, ummhmming, and reassuring her. Plus, I like having time to myself.

Clearly, no one else wants me to have time for myself, because someone was running up the path calling my name. When the figure got closer I realized it was Mason.

"Hey Lily, I just wrote out this packet for tomorrow explaining all of our tactics and game plan and also the facts we know about the Ravenclaw team. I'm giving one to each player to analyze."

I inwardly groaned. "Well thanks Mason, I'll read it tonight."

"Great" he smiled. "So how are your nerves? Not to freak you out, but everyone will be watching tomorrow to see how you do."

"Yep, got it." I responded.

"But you will completely kick-arse, your one of the most skilled chasers I've ever seen. And you've got guts enough to join a stinky, smelly boys team."

I laughed. "Well I did have a charm put on my nose so I can't smell for the whole season." I joked to him.

"Well then, Can you smell this?" Mason asked while sticking his armpit in my face.

"Gross!" I shrieked. "Don't you have other kids to give homework to?"

"Right, well see you tomorrow bright and early Lily, get good sleep!" He said while running off.

I smiled; Mason was one of the guys I had grown closer to. He almost seemed like a big brother…who gave me homework. I again groaned and looked at the insanely thick packet in my hand. I began flipping through it when I ran right into the one and only James Potter. Could I ever catch a break?

"Oye, Potter watch where you're going."

"Sorry Evans, didn't see you there, so close to the ground."

"Haha, your so funny." I said sarcastically.

"Thanks, I try." he grinned, "So, I notice you've received Mason's book too."

"Unfortunately. How many game tactics do we have?" I said flipping through the quite through book.

"Tons, but you want to know the best one?"

"Enlighten me Potter."

"It's where you just flash the other team, they are so shocked and we easily can win. It's quite simple."

"Your disgusting."

"We are they only team with a girl, might as well use it to our advantage."

"Actually, our team has two girls."

"What?"

"Well considering the way you play I just assumed you were a girl."

"Well played, Little Red."

"Will you please stop calling me that!"

"Never!" He said turning and grabbing my arm. "Here let me escort you back to the castle to prove I am a gentleman, not a lady."

I shook him off. "It's to late for that." I turned on my heel and headed back the other way. "See you tomorrow Potter."

"If you get eaten by some monster, its your fault for not having me escort you!" He called.

I just shook my head. When would James Potter grow up?

Well fans did you recognize the names Alice and Frank? And what legendary offspring did they produce? Keep reviewing! Thanks!
