VICTORY!
Beths POV.
Today is the day of the Quidditch match which has had James and Fred stressed out. Me and Katy are really worried about them. They are constantly whispering about game plans. It is really strange.
Katy and Fred are now dating exclusively. Many girls talking about her, and me. Apparently I am a threat to the James Potter rampage fans. They see the 'way he looks at me' and 'how close we are'. Its true. We are really close. We sit next to each other in classes, hang out at the breaks and free periods, his arm over my shoulder protectively (quote James 'To let all them guys who look at you that if they hurt you, I will be there to fix it'), we hug each other. I suppose from the outside we might look like a couple, but most definatley aren't.
I looked over at the Gryffindor table and saw James with an empty plate infront of him, same with Fred. I turned my head to Katy, she nodded. We stood up and walked over to the red and gold decorated table. I sat next to James While Katy worked on Fred.
'James, You have to eat.' I got a shake of the head as a response. I put some bacon and eggs on his plate. 'Come on James. Please. Remember what you promised me? You promised me that you would be careful and that you would be fine. You always eat before matches Al says.' He looked up. 'Please. Just eat something.' He sighed.
'Fine.' He started eating the food that I placed onto his plate. I smiled.
'Thankyou.' He looked up and stared right into my eyes. Its like were having a private conversation. Just us two. I felt like I could stare into his soul. I think this is the most in love any one person can be at a specific time. My heart feels to be pumping out of my chest and at the same time it hurts so much, knowing that he will never, ever feel the same way. This is when my eyes were forced away from his.
'I don't wanna break my promise.' Then he continued eating. Head down, his face looked... like a mixture of embarrasment and hurt. I don't know what I did. But I never want to see that look on his face. Ever.
James' POV.
That just proves it. I love her too much. It hurts, every time my heart expands, every time it contracts, everytime I look into her eyes and everytime I just see her from a distance. Knowing thats what its always going to be like, me her best friend and me in love with her. I suddenly had a flash of the future. Beth standing at an altar in a white dress facing a tall faceless stranger.
'Hey. You okay?' Freds voice dragged me to the present. I gulped.
'Yeah, fine.' We were stood in the chaging room, waiting for the match to start. I am really nervous and Lily is over at the other side of the changing room, pacing. It is her first year on the team. Our team is made up of
Chasers-James Potter, Lily Potter and Rose Weasley
Beaters-Fred Weasley and Anna Wood
Keeper-Charlie McLaggen
Seeker-Albus Potter
We all lined up, waiting to walk onto the pitch for the most important game this year. We walked slowly towards the Slytherin team, I shook hands with Stephen Flint. I mounted my broom and saw Albus intently watch the snitch as it went flying. We rose into the air, took our places. The bludgers were then released, The quaffle was then thrown into the air, I grabbed it and quickly threw it to Lily, then the games really started.
We were winning by 50 points. I have scored 5 out of the 9 goals. I got the quaffle again and was flying, dodging the bludgers that seemed to be coming at me a lot more lately. I saw Lily, But didn't want her to get hit with the bludgers. Then I saw one and it was heading straight for me. It hit me in the stomach and I flipped off the broom.
Beths POV
Oh my god. James just caught his broom after he got hit. So he is now dangling from his broom by his arms. He's in pain I can tell. His eyes are squeezed shut, I am really quite scared now.
'SOMEONE HELP HIM.' I kinda screamed. My eyes were wide and I was stood up leaning over the side of the stands looking at James. He looked at me and his arm slipped. 'HURRY.' Tears welled up in my eyes.
'ALBUS POTTER HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH.' Fred then finally got to James and got him down to the pitch safely. Me and Katy ran down. She ran straight to Fred, whereas I knelt down next to James who was sat on the floor.
'You idiot.' He looked at me and smiled slightly. I put my arms carefully round his shoulders, one of his arms snaked round my waist.
'I'm- they just, kept coming...'
'I know.' We slowly walked back up to the castle.
'At least i'm alive and concious right?'
'Come on, James stop being so weird, It does hurt, you can't say that it doesn't' I say while I am trying to get him to the hospital wing.
'It's really not that bad, Beth, Seriously. I'm fine.'
'Stop being so... stubborn, you are in pain, we are going to the hospital wing, now.'
'No, I'm going to go to the common room and sleep it off.'
'You can sleep it off in the hospital wing. Come on please James, just so I know that you okay, please.' I put my hands infront of me, begging gesture. I gave him the puppy dog face.
'Alright, fine. I'll go, but I am coming out in the morning.' I laughed. VICTORY!
'Wouldn't have it any other way.'
