I love this chapter. I don't know why, but I do. It's only a few more chapters (like one or two) until the real romance starts. Thank you to everyone for your reviews. Please review more. I love getting feedback. I do not own Harry Potter, but if I did, Sirius Black would not have died...or Fred...or Dobby...or Hedwig...or Remus and Tonks.

Sam

I feel the rush of adrenaline I love so much about the game of Quidditch. I watch from above as Sirius and James make yet another goal. We're ahead by nearly 200 points. Ravenclaw doesn't stand a chance. In the stands, Kaelin is on her feet screaming at us cheerfully.

Though she doesn't play quidditch, it's her favorite sport, and we can always count on her to be cheering for us in the stands. Jase flies around hitting quaffles at the Ravenclaws.

Zooming above the players, I spot a flash of gold a few feet ahead of me. Darting after it, I see the Ravenclaw seeker do the same to my left.

I fly after the snitch ignoring everything going on around me. I reach my hand out. I've almost got it. I feel my fingers brush against its smooth body before it darts away again.

I follow it with the Ravenclaw seeker close behind me. The crowd is going nuts. Suddenly, I hear screams. They don't sound cheerful. They sound scared. Just as I close my hand around the golden snitch, I feel a sharp pain in my arm, and hear a loud crack.

I'm falling. I can hear the whistle of the wind as I fall towards the ground. Darkness threatens to engulf me, but I fight to stay awake. I can hear the cries from the crowd as I fall to my death.

Then, I stop. I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist, and I'm no longer falling. Instead, I'm soaring through the air. I look up to see Sirius smiling at me. I gasp as he lurches to the right, and my arm is crushed against the broomstick.

His face pales slightly when he sees my arm hanging limply at my side, and he dives down to the ground. When we land, Kaelin, Remus, and Peter run over to make sure I'm okay. James lands beside us.

"Sam!" Kaelin screeches when she sees my arm. I smile slightly releasing the snitch from my grasp.

"GRYFFINDOR WINS!" I hear the commentator shout. James is cheering, but everything's fading. Sirius grabs my arm steadying me just before I collapse and everything goes black.

Sirius

The game is going great. James and I score yet another goal, just as I see Sam streak by with the Ravenclaw seeker right behind her. A flicker of gold darts away from them. The crowd goes wild.

I see the bludger before anyone else does. Hit hard by a Ravenclaw beater. I yell out for Sam to stop, but she either ignores me, or doesn't hear me. She's inches away from the snitch. She looks determined. The crowd has now seen what I saw, and they are yelling at Sam.

A yell from Kaelin makes me turn my head, but when I turn back, Sam is falling. Streaking towards the ground faster and faster. I race down to catch her.

Grabbing her, I pull her up onto my broom smiling at her. It's all I can do not to kiss her right there. She isn't smiling. I turn the broom to the right, so everyone can see she's okay, but her face pales considerably.

I feel the blood drain from my face when I see her arm. It hangs limply by her side. It's obviously broken. I dive for the ground landing harder than I meant to. Sam cringes when we hit the ground.

Kaelin, Remus, and Peter are there in an instant, and Kaelin is freaking out. She sees Sam's arm and gasps. James lands next to us, and together we steady Sam. Shakily, she opens her hand. She caught the snitch.

The crowd is cheering, but I can feel Sam start to fade. Together, James and I catch her as she collapses being careful not to hurt her arm anymore than it already is.

I carry her to the Hospital Wong while James takes our three broomsticks back to our dorms. Kaelin follows me looking worried about Sam. Her breathing is ragged, but she's alive thank goodness.

Madame Pomphrey screeches when I lay Sam on one of the beds. "All these injuries! Why do they let you all play such a dangerous sport?" she mutters taking out her wand.

Sam's arm in healed in about three seconds, but she doesn't wake up. "She's gone into shock dear. She won't wake up for a few hours. You're welcome to stay as long as you like," Madame Pomphrey says quietly.

James comes in then. After we assure him Sam is going to be fine, he calms down and sits beside me. Kaelin is sitting on the edge of Sam's bed reluctant to leave her friend.

Jase stops by a few minutes after the accident. "I heard what happened," he says. "It's a good thing you were there Sirius." I mutter a reply. I still can't help but not like the guy even if is concerned about Sam.

It's late, around ten when Remus picks up a sleeping Kaelin. "I'll see you guys tomorrow," he whispers carrying Kaelin out of the room.

James speaks up as soon as Remus leaves. "You okay Padfoot?" he says concerned.

"Yeah, I just hope she wakes up soon," I say. There's no way I'm leaving until she does. No way.

"You think she can hear us?" James asks. I shake my head. She's unconscious, not in a coma.

"Don't be too hard on Jase, Padfoot," James says. "After all, we know who she really likes."

"The spell probably didn't work right Prongs," I say reluctant to admit Sam might actually like me.

"Sure Padfoot. Whatever you say. I'm going to bed. I'm assuming you're going to stay here?" he says. I nod.

When James leaves, I sigh, and settle into the chair I'm in. Sam stirs, and I sit up. She's mumbling something incoherently. I lean closer trying to make our what she's saying, but the words are so jumbled I can't. Probably nothing important anyways.

Just then, her eyes snap open and she sits up gasping. "Sam?" I ask a little worried. She whips her head to look at me, and I'm surprised to find her eyes are a dark red instead of the normal blue.

She opens her mouth to talk, but all that comes out is a low growling. I gasp as she gets up and begins to move closer to me. Something isn't right. Her wand is in her hand, and she's raising it at me. She mutters something, and there's a flash of green light.

I gasp almost falling out of the chair I'm in. Looking at Sam, I see she's awake sitting up in her bed. Her eyes are blue again. It was just a dream. I sigh.

"Padfoot?" Sam asks. I look up at her. "What's wrong?"

"Bad dream," I say. "What about you. Are you okay?"

"Never better," she says smiling sleepily. "I feel like I could sleep for days though."

I smirk at her. "What was your dream about?" she asks. I shudder at the memory.

"Well, you were kind of trying to kill me," I say sheepishly.

She laughs. "Why would I do that?" she asks. I shake my head.

"I don't know, but your eyes were blood red. It was scary," I say.

"Well, it's over now. What happened? All I remember is catching the snitch. After that, nothing."

"You broke your arm and fell. I caught you," I say. "Then you passed out."

"And you stayed here all that time?" she asks. I nod. "Thanks."

"Anytime. I tried to yell for you to stop when I saw the bludger, but you didn't hear me," I say.

"Oh, I heard you. I chose to ignore you. I guess we all make mistakes and have to suffer the consequences," she says.

"Yeah," I say. "I've made a big mistake myself, but I don't know how to fix it," I say mostly to myself.

"I'm sure you'll think of something," Sam says.

"Yeah, if she'll ever forgive me," I mutter. Sam seems to have not heard the last part, and I don't mean for her too.

"Take me to bed?" she asks yawning.

"Of course," I say helping her up.

We walk back to the common room mostly in silence. When we get to the portrait hole, she stops and turns around. Looking right into my eyes, she whispers, "You're forgiven," and lightly kisses me on the cheek.

Then just like that she's gone, and I'm left here looking like an idiot in complete shock.

Thank you so much to everyone who reads this story. I plan to write many many more in the future. Please Review my story. :)
