It was a cold winter's day, and the Marauders made their way down to the Quidditch pitch. James sand Sirius are still annoyed that they had not been allowed to try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but their excitement for the game against Slytherin distracted them from their annoyance.
The boys took their seats on the stands, sitting by all the other Gryffindors, and in fact, almost all of the Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's. The commentator named Mia Thomas, a fifth year Ravenclaw, announced that the game was about the start. The Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team came onto the pitch.
"Captains, shake hands", Professor Hooch instructed.
The Gryffindor captain and the Slytherin captain quickly shook hands, both eager to start the game. Both teams mounted their brooms and waited for the quaffle, which is the ball in Quidditch, to be thrown in the air. Also they were waiting for the bludgers, which tried to knock the players of their brooms, and the golden snitch, which was a fast moving small ball, that if caught, ends the game and earns the person who caught it 150 points.
Professor Hooch blew her whistle and threw the bludger into the air, which was caught by a Gryffindor chaser.
"The game begins!" Shouts Mia.
The crowd erupted into cheers as the Gryffindor chaser Thomas Jones, threw the ball to another Gryffindor chaser Rhys Smith.
"Smith is making his way to the goal posts… and Gryffindor scores! Nice throw from Rhys Smith!" Mia shouted into the microphone.
The Marauders watched as the Gryffindor seeker circled the pitch, looking everywhere for the golden snitch.
"The quaffle gets caught by Slytherin chaser Kyle Smith, who just happens to be Rhys' cousin… I heard they're best friends as well, I've heard that-"
"Miss Thomas! Would you please talk about the game?" Professor McGonagall shouted from one of the stands.
"Sorry professor. Smith is close to the goal posts… and Slytherin scores!"
Just then the whole crowd watched as Gryffindor seeker Emma John dived for the golden snitch, closely followed by the Slytherin seeker Connor James.
"Miles and John are both trying to catch the snitch… and she's got it! Emma John has caught the snitch! Gryffindor wins!"
The Marauders cheer as loud as they can.
The Gryffindors were happily celebrating their win in the common room. The Marauders sat on the coaches, happily talking about the game.
"Did you see how fast Emma caught the snitch? She must be the best seeker in the school!" Sirius said excitedly.
"I know! We must have a chance of winning the Quidditch cup this year!" Peter said.
"And then when Sirius and I join the team we'll win it every year!" James told them all, which caused Remus to snort.
"We will Remus! You haven't seen me play Quidditch yet, I must be the best player in this school!"
"So, are you going to try out next year?" Remus asked.
"Of course we will!" Sirius shouted.
"Our next Quidditch game is against Hufflepuff, I heard they have some really good chasers this year", Peter said.
