Here's the next chapter. I'm beginning to just want them out of school. But I want all this other stuff to happen while they're in school. Mental arguments going on. But I'll keep them at school till I'm satisfied with their experiences.
Chapter 34: Match
Saturday came, bringing the match with it. It was against Ravenclaw, but they had a good team this year. Even beat Slytherin, so James was a mess. He was forever reminding the team of tactics and what to watch for. Sirius had threatened to kill him on several occasions, it was getting to the point others were telling him to just follow through with it already.
Lily got all dressed in scarlet robes and met James in the common room. The team was already in the changing room down by the pitch.
"Ready?" Lily asked him.
"It feels weird not being down there with them." James said.
"It's just this once." Lily reminded him.
"I know." James took her hand and began the trip to the pitch. "What if we loose?"
"We won't. The team is great. And you said so yourself, Jamie is amazing, she'll be brilliant."
"Right. But she doesn't play ruff. And we barely won the last game."
"Don't worry about it."
"But this game means everything. If we loose by too much we'll be forced into third. But if we can win by enough points we'll be able to bump into first."
"Because Slytherin is only leading by fifty points. I know. Just relax. The team will do great." Lily said. She was even getting annoyed by his constant Quidditch talk.
When the game began James was screaming his head off encouraging the team. All of Gryffindor was shouting as well. The team flew around the pitch, the seeker taking his time, distracting the Ravenclaw seeker, waiting until they had enough points. The chasers passed to each other and nearly had goals, but the keeper would block them or the other chasers would intercept.
The team roared when the first goal was made for Gryffindor. Booed when two were made for Ravenclaw. Nearly burst when Jamie knocked one of the Ravenclaws of his broom. Panicked when the opposing seeker came close to catching the snitch. Hollered when Gryffindor had fifty points and Ravenclaw twenty. Screamed when Ravenclaw got another ten points. Sang when Gryffindor received ten more. By the time Gryffindor had 120 points and Ravenclaw was behind at 60 it was time for the snitch to be caught. Quickly.
"GO! GO! GRYFFINDOR!" the team sang over and over. "GO! GO! GRYFFINDOR!" They erupted into cheers when Jamie scored yet again. 130 to 60.
"The seeker sees it!" James yelled over the crowed so he could be heard by Lily. She looked around, sure enough the seeker looked very determined as he soared closer and closer to the ground. Ravenclaw's seeker didn't seem to notice, his back was turned as he searched the sky.
"GO!" Lily yelled. "COME ON!" she was bouncing up and down the anticipation bubbling in her stomach. The whole crowed was on it's feet screaming and waving banners. "COME ON!!!" The seeker leaned down on his broom, pressing his body on the broom. "GO!"
The small snitch zoomed just out of his reach. Faster and faster they raced. Lily cupped her hands around her mouth yelling.
"GO! YOUR ALMOST THERE! GO!" His hand reached out, so close, but so far. Fingers could almost almost brush the gold.
"GO! GO! GRYFFINDOR!" the crowed yelled, getting louder, if that was possible.
"GO! GO! GRYFFINDOR! GO! GO! GRYFFINDOR!"
"GRYFFINDOR WINS!" the commentator yelled as the seeker held his hand high. The small snitch in his hand. James lifted Lily into the air while around them people erupted into loud cheers. When she was put back down she looked back at the team who was huddled around thumping each other on the back. But Lily found Jamie, making her smile vanish. Her legs were wrapped around one of the team members waist and she was kissing him. When they broke apart Lily could see that it was Sirius.
This is where I get a bit evil. I want Reviews. Really really bad. Don't review I won't post. Haha.
