"Alright everyone trying out for seeker go stand by Travis Doralyn, chasers over by Craig Marshall, and beaters by Sirius Black," James instructed as he and Sirius arrived at the pitch, late I might add.
I took my place near Craig, "Hi, I'm Avery" I introduced myself. He completely ignored me. So I looked over my completion which consisted of a third year Gregory Dunbar and the fourth year twins Katie and Elizabeth Wheaton.
"Now, I want six laps around the pitch from all of you," James yelled, "including those of you already on the team." He added blowing his whistle signaling us to start.
I was one of the first to finish so I stood by James as we waited for the rest to finish. After everyone completed their laps we started a mock game. Elizabeth had the quaffle and was getting ready to pass it to me when a bludger was sent my way by one of the kids trying out for beater. Luckily James warned me so it missed my head by centimeters. She insisted it was an accident but I had a feeling it wasn't. Everything was going fine, I scored a few goals but Dunbar was a far better chaser than I was.
"Avery catch, watch your left!" Sirius yelled tossing me his beater's club. I caught it and swung to my left. I almost fell off my broom with all the force coming from the collision of the bat meeting the bludger that was now heading in the opposite direction. Not too much after that James realized it was well after dark and called us all to the center of the pitch.
"Good work today mates, I want us all to meet after lunch tomorrow and I'll announce our new team," with that he dismissed us.
I ran back to the common room to tell Remus and Lilly how everything went.
"Oh my god it was amazing." I said plopping down next to Lilly.
"I wish I could say the same about how you smell, please go shower," Lilly whined.
"Fine!" I said and stormed up the stairs pretending to be angry.
I took a long hot shower the put on my flannel pajama pants and an old t-shirt and went back down to the common room. I sat next to Remus placing my feet over his lap, while Lilly finished her essay that wasn't due for a well, actually I don't think it has been assigned yet.
"So how was your day Remy?" I asked placing my arms under my head.
"It was okay I guess, I mostly did homework then read some of my book like always."
"Jesus Remus, you really need a girlfriend!" I shouted hitting him with a pillow.
"Actually I wanted to talk…" he started but was cut off by James and Sirius.
"Hey Avers, you want to go to the kitchens with us?" Sirius asked fidgeting like a five year old.
"Yeah I'm starving" I said getting up.
I was halfway through the portrait hole when I remembered Remus needed to talk.
"Hold on for a minute okay?" I asked.
"Hurry" they answered as I re-entered the common room.
"Remy what did you need to talk about?" I asked walking towards him.
"Nothing, we'll talk when you get back, go on, go eat." He said half heartedly.
"Alright" I smiled, skipping back to where I left James and Sirius.
"So do you want to know if you made it?" James asked.
"Not till tomorrow!"I yelled running towards the main staircase.
"But what if we really wanted you to know now?" Sirius pleaded followed closely behind James.
"Please don't ruin it for me?" I begged stopping and grabbing Sirius' collar and turning him so he was facing me.
"Fine, I won't tell you" Sirius pouted.
We finally made it to the kitchens where we were greeted by tons of house elves.
"How can I help you, miss and misters?" a young elf asked.
"Three hot chocolates and a cookie." I said.
"So what's going on with you and Remus?" James asked once we got our hot chocolate and the cookie I had gotten for Remus.
"Nothing I know of he just helped me last night because I was upset." I said not looking up from the table.
"What's was wrong love?" Sirius asked.
"Nothing just girl problems," I said still not looking up at them. They exchanged looks then looked towards me again.
"We don't believe you!" they said in unison tackling me to the floor where the held me down and began tickling me.
"Please stop," I begged breathlessly.
"Not until you tell us"
"It was stupid, don't worry about it" I pleaded.
"Holy shit Avers, where did you get that bruise from? Sirius asked after stopped tickling me.
"Nowhere, I fell you know how clumsy I am," I said nervously chuckling, before I darted out of the kitchens. I ran as fast as I could, until I ran straight into someone.
"Oh god, Remus help!" I panted.
"What's wrong?" he asked dragging me into a secret passage way.
"Sirius-James-tickling" I managed while trying to catch my breath.
"Breathe Avery Breathe." He chanted.
"So what did you want to talk about earlier?" I asked catching my breath a little better now.
"I... just...er..."and then he kissed me at first I was shocked, but then he pulled away quickly.
"I thought I was supposed to be catching my breath, and not for you to just take it away again?" I said with a smirk. Then I kissed him again, it was an okay kiss but I've had better.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he pulled away long enough to ask.
"Yes" I replied kissing him back.
After snogging for a good thirty minutes we headed back to the common room.
"Where were you Avery, we started getting worried?" James asked.
"Busy" and with that I ran to my dorm.
I laid down on my bed for awhile until I was sat on by Lilly and Chassidy.
"You're mean, you ruined my sex and got me a weeks' worth of detention." Chassidy whined.
"I'm sorry?" I answered half heartedly.
"So did you make the team?" Lilly asked thankfully changing the subject.
"I don't know yet."
"Oh I thought they would've told you." Lilly stated.
"I asked them not to."
"Oh that's cool, so what did Remus want to talk about?" Lilly asked, damn she asks a lot of questions.
"He didn't say much really, he just kind of kissed me, and then asked me out," I mumbled acting as if it wasn't a big deal.
"What did you say?" Chassidy piped in.
"Yes!" I said blushing.
"Aw, now we just have to talk Lilly into giving into James a chance and we'll all be with a marauder" she squealed.
"Not going to happen."Lilly replied in a matter-of-fact way.
"This is fun and all but I'm kind of tired, so if you wouldn't mind getting your fat arses off me, yeah that would be great?" I asked getting rather annoyed.
"Good night then." They said going to their own beds looking hurt.
"Oh Jesus, I was only joking. Now go to sleep." I sighed.
I fell asleep shortly after my head hit the pillow. I had a nice dreamless sleep, which were my favorite. I woke up and looked over at Lilly's clock, it was around noon.
"Shit I missed breakfast," I whined to myself. I went and took a quick cold shower and put on my skinny jeans and Stevie Wonder shirt. I pulled my hair into a messy bun before heading downstairs. I decided I wasn't too hungry so I was just going to work on homework in the common room. I pulled out my work when Remus walked up to me.
"Hey what are you doing?" I asked looking up and kissing him.
"Nothing really, but aren't you supposed to be at the pitch in... three minutes? He said glancing at his watch.
"Shit" I said gathering my things and kissing him before running to the field.
I actually made it just in time.
James came out of the locker room with a list in his hands.
"So now I guess you all want to know who made the team?" he asked with a sly smile. "Well our new chasers are Gregory Dunbar and Katie Wheaton." He announced.
I congratulated the two.
"Our new seeker is Samuel Sharp." Sirius announced patting the third year on his shoulder.
"And out new beater teaming up with Sirius is Avery Malfoy." James half yelled.
"What?" I asked completely shocked.
"That's not fair, she didn't even try out," the girl who tried out, that almost knocked my head off.
"Well as captain I think I say what is fair, and besides you weren't very good you almost wiped out the rest of us." James said. "Well that's our tea, practice is Tuesday after supper."
I slowly made my way back to the castle with James and Sirius behind me. Every so often I'd hear them snickering. I turned around and Sirius ran straight into me knocking me down.
"Bloody hell, watch where you're going Siri I'd rather not fall down every day." I said angrily.
"Oh sorry I thought you liked it on the ground love" he said with a smirk offering me his hand. I was halfway up when he was tackled knocking me down again. I was so pissed I could feel the steam coming out of my ears. I noticed it was Chassidy who tackled him which made me slightly angrier. James helped me up and we started making gagging noises towards the couple before we ran back to the castle.
We entered the Entrance Hall and then headed to the kitchens to get food. After eating James had to go to prefect duties so I headed up alone and quickly. Just managing to avoid another confrontation with Bellatrix and her friends I made it to my common room.
I gave Remus a kiss goodnight and headed up to the dorms. I was angry and upset but most of all I was tired. Which I didn't understand seeing as I slept most of the day, anyways I changed then climbed into my warm bed. I feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
