I just stood there staring at him, Sirius black, the Sirius Black, who i had had a crush on for five long years was asking me to be his girlfriend. Me.
'no' i said quickly Sirius looked shocked 'I mean, yes but not now'
'why not now?' he asked
'Just wait please?' i begged
'O-ok' He said confused
And then i ran, I didn't know what i had said to him, but i felt like i was about to pass out. i ran to the quiddich pitch and sat in the stadium, i sat there for hours, just waiting for the sun to set.
What the hell had i just done?
I walked back up to the castle slowly, once in the castle i bumped into Remus who looked at me as if i were a ghost
'Hey Remus' i said smiling
'H-hi Freya' he replied
'Are you ok?' i asked
'f-fine just fine' going slightly pale
'ok' i said slowly
'Look Sirius told me that you had found out' he said pulling at the collar of his shirt
'oh right yeah' I said
'I, well, i'
'i don't think any different of you, half the stuff in that book is wrong' I said
'you don't?'
'and i won't tell anyone either'
'Thanks' he said as we began to walk up the stairs
'I know you're not violent when its not, you know' I said being scarse incase of people over hearinf or eavesdropping
'Yeah, thats just what most people think, so how did you find out?' he asked
'I was in the library and found a book and just put it together'
'you, in the Library?' he asked, i looked shocked at him
'oi' i replied punching his arm, he just chuckled
'Thanks, for not thinking differently of me, or telling everyone and stuff' He said smiling
'No problem'
'Did you really say 'not yet' to Sirius. he came into the dorm devistated' Remus said, i looked down at my feet
'I'm socially awkward' I said slowly
'Yes you are' He laughed
'I kind of just paniced and ran' I told him
'Sound like a you thing to do' He nodded
'Retarded thing to do' I said sadly
'Exactly'
'Hey!' I said shocked, he laughed again
'Sorry, sorry, i couldn't help it, you keep setting them up!'
'you're forgiven i suppose' i laughed
'So what are you doing?' i asked
'Prefect duties, it's after curfew, but i'll let you off this once' he said with a small smile
'What's the time?' i asked shocked
'Eleven-ish'
'but- no way' I said
'Yes way' he replied
'Damn, well i'll be off to Ravenclaw tower, my bed awaites me, night Remus' i said waving
'Night Freya' he smiled and waved back.
i walked up the spiral stair-case to Ravenclaw tower, once there i crept into the dorm and got ready for bed.
That night i had the worst night sleep i'd ever had, i tossed and turned, fell out of bed twice and just could not get to sleep. When six o'clock came i slipped out of bed and put my uniform on, i crept down the stairs and made my way outside, i walked slowly to the beech tree and climbed up to my usual branch, but for once, i didn't turn upside down. i just sat there and watched as the giant squid swam in the lake,
'Freya' Someone called, i fell from the tree in shock, i had not heard anyone coming and no one ever really came to the tree, i jumped to my feet and came face to face with Sam
'H-hey Sam' I said brushing off my uniform
'Are you ok?' She asked looking shocked
'Fine, i'm fine' I replied
'You have bags under your eyes and you're all jumpy' She said putting an arm around me and walking me towards the castle
'I just didn't sleep well' i said slowly
'Any reason?' She asked
'No' i replied, she raised an eyebrow
'Really?' She questioned
'No' i sighed
'So what happened?' she asked
'Sirius asked me to be his girlfriend' I explained, Sam stopped dead
'He what?' she said in shock
'And i being me, the socially awkward idiot that i am, i bloody well said not now, what the hell was i thinking' i moaned sitting on the ground and burying my face into my hands.
'There, there it will all work out' Sam said rubbing my back 'Come on, lets get you to the hospital wing, you need to be in good working order for your match later' i groaned
'forgot about the match' I said as she lifted me up and supported me as she took me into the castle, We passed by Lissa and Jake on the way who both rushed over to me
'Is she ok?' Jake asked lifting my head up to look into my eyes
'She's in shock and she hasn't slept, i'm taking her to the hospital wing' Sam said
'Shock?' Lissa asked
'She said 'Not now' When Sirius asked her to be his girlfriend' Lissa dropped her bag, making the hall echo, i flinched and looked into Lissa's eyes
'Do you know what you've done?' Lissa asked incredulously
'Ruined my life' I groaned
'no, this means i'm going to have a whinging Sirius on my back' She said
'Wh-' i began
'Because, i'm his Auntie bloody Lissa, that's why' She said
they began to take me up to the hospital wing, Sam on one side, Jake on the other
'i can walk' I said
'You fell out of a tree' Sam said, i looked down at my leg to see i was limping
'Why don't i feel pain anymore?' i asked Lissa
'Because you have fallen, tripped, hit your head so many times in the past that now, your body hates you' she said
'Thank you body, thanks a lot' I said
'wobbley face' Lissa said suddenly, i looked at her
'Sad face' i replied
'What is wrong with Freya?' Came a voice from the corridor, the four of us stopped dead and looked to see who was there, James and Sirius were walking along the corridor. i made an odd rasping noise and tried to push Jake and Sam forward, but it resulted on me falling forward and trying to stop myself by using my feet, i yelped as i felt a throb of pain shoot up my leg
'Merlin, i just felt pain. Lissa maybe my body likes me again?'
'Probably not, no one likes you' She said grabbing me and helping me so i wasn't falling or putting weight on my foot
'Lovely' i said sadly.
'I do sort of like you a little bit, don't worry' She said patting my head
'I'm not a dog' I replied, trying to bite her finger, then i realised that Jake, Sam, James and Sirius were staring oddly at me
'H-hey' I said biting my lip and wanting to die on the floor.
'Hi' James replied 'So what happened to you?'
'Couldn't sleep, so i went to the tree and wasn't upside down so i fell out' i said shrugging
'oh right, fair enough' he said hesitantly
'Why didn't you sleep?' Sirius asked, great i bet i looked like absolutely cr-
'She was just, err, nervous about the match' Sam said catching my eye
'As if, Freya never gets nervous about quidditch' James said. I had the urge to strangle him
'Anyway, i'm in quite a bit of pain, got to go' I said quickly poking Lissa until she began to help me to the Hospital wing.
'Oh Merlin, not you again' Madam Pomfrey said as i was taken over to a bed
'Nice to see you too' I replied sitting down, James and Sirius have followed Jake and Sam. Great, Need to not look at Sirius, or may jump on him, and -
'So what have you done this time, fallen from another broomstick?' she asked
'No a tree' I said
'You look awful, are you feeling ok?' She asked holding her hand on my forehead
'Oh brilliant, so i look awful, and i have an audience' I mumbled
'Well?' She asked
'I'm fine, just tired and my ankle hurts' I said
'Lets take a look at your ankle' i lay down in the bed, and began to fall asleep, i could hear the voices growing more distance and blackness seemed to take over, but i was Quickly awake again as Madam Pomfrey moved my foot and pain shot through my body
'Don't move it, Merln' i said as i grimaced
'Sprained' she said walking over to the potion cabinet and i could hear clinking of glass vials.
'Typical Freya' Sirius said with a smile, i looked at him, but regretted it, If only i had of said yes, and not run off like a numpty.
'If you think about it, she's just proving the point that, With out crazy people the world would be boring, because i mean, we would all just be sitting round doing bugger all if it wasn't for her' Jake said thoughtfully
'crazy' I Said thoughtfully
'Yeah, crazy' Lissa said
'you won't put me in a crazy ward in st mungos will you?' i asked them
'Never' They replied
'Shame. free food' I said watching as madam Pomfrey came over to me, James and Sirius chuckled
'Here take this potion and i think you should stay in here today, you look close to death' and she walked off to her office but turned to the others
'And you have classes to go to, out, go on' she said
'nope, free period' Sirius said as the others made their way to the door
'That means you too Mr Black' she said
'but i have a free period' he argued back
'No, she needs rest'
'but poppy' he said giving her puppy eyes
'No means no, now go' She said, he huffed and came over to me
'See you after the match then i suppose, good luck' He said kissing my forehead, i just watched him as he left and the sighed as the hospital wing doors closed. I am such a tool.
'Drink the potion and then sleep, i'll wake you at lunch' Madam Pomfrey said, i drank the potion down, trying not to spit it out, it really was disgusting, and then went to sleep.
'Freya, wake up' Someone said poking me, i groaned and rolled over, falling out of the bed as i did
'ow' I said from the floor, i was completely knotted in my sheets and i was wriggling trying to get them off me
'Hey' Lissa said looking down at me from the bed when she appeared to be leaning across
'Hey' i replied, looking around the hospital wing
'The match is in half an hour, Madam Pomfrey thought you could do with more rest, How are you feeling?' she asked
'Great actually, except i'm kind of stuck' I said as Lissa began to help get me out of the sheets.
once they were off me we made our way down to the pitch where i met the rest of my team
'Hey everyone' I said
'Alright' Said Howard
the others just nodded to me looking rather pale.
'So Gryffindor are in the lead, yes, but if you score 60 points more than them, and i catch the snitch, we will win, obviously that would only make us win by ten points, but still, is that good then?' I asked, they nodded
'Right, Dylan, protect those hoops like you would protect a' I paused thinking what he would protect 'i don't know, but protect them well' he nodded
'You two' I said to the beaters
'Yeah?' Edgar said
'Watch those flying balls, and hit them hard, The bludgers i mean...' i said as people began to snicker.
There was the sound of hundreds of voices, i looked at the castle to see everyone was on their way.
'To the locker rooms' I said,
no one spoke as we all changed into our blue quidditch robes, and to make things worse, i hadn't eaten all day and i was extremely hungry, i knew that would change when i got on my broom, because i would be concentrating on other things, but my tummy was making odd noises.
I looked at the clock, it was time.
'Come on, team, we can win, we'll show them how it's done'
We walked onto the pitch, The noise that filled our ears was beautiful, The audience were not separated so much as when Slytherin's play.
Professor Flitwick was sat at the front of one of the Ravenclaw boxes, dressed all in blue and cheering us all on happily.
'And here are the Ravenclaw's' yelled the new Commentator, a seventh year Hufflepuff boy 'Newton, Harper, Laurent, Branchet, Morton, Morris and Captain Griffin, is thought of as the best seeker the school has had in years' There was a wave of cheers from the ravenclaw supporters
'And now the Gryffindor team, Poole, Finch, Long, Bunten, Isaacson, Mitchinson and Captain Potter'
James fist pumped the air and the Gryffindor's cheered. I rolled my eyes.
'Captains, shake hands!' Madam hooch called, i walked forward as did James, we shook hands
'Good luck' I said to him
'And you' He replied as we walked back to our teams.
'Mount your brooms!' yelled Madam hooch, we all obliged 'Three, Two, One' She blew her whistle, but it was drowned out by the roar of the crowd as i shot high into the air.
the wind whipped my hair and i relished in the feeling, the Gryffindor seeker, Isaacson followed me closely. So i stopped and kept a look out for the snitch to keep Isaacson away from it.
'Gryffindor in posession, Poole Of Gryffindor Heading for the Ravenclaw goal passes to Potter who dodges Morris of Ravenclaw'
'Come on Ravenclaw' I yelled towards Lissa and
'Great interception by Newton, now racing towards the Gryffindor goal, nice hit from the bludger by Bunten, great dodge by Newton, she shoots, she scores, Ten-zero to Ravenclaw'
The Stands erupted into cheers, i raised my arms in joy for Lissa
'Go Lissa' I screamed happily.
Out of the corner of my eye i saw the snitch shoot up about fifty feet, i dived down lower, Isaacson followed.
i flew closer to the Ravenclaw goal, Dodging a bludger that nearly skimmed my face,
'Laurent with the Quaffle, passes to Morris, dodges past Finch, passes back to Laurent, he shoots, ah good save by Mitchinson, Potter in possession, passes to Poole, Great dodge past Newton there, he shoots, oh a great save by the Ravenclaw keeper Branchet' the crowd cheered
'Go Dylan' i shouted, i looked to my right to see the Gryffindor seeker looking around for the snitch, i took off upwards after spotting the snitch hovering about an inch from the floor
'Passes to newton, shes tearing it up the pitch, great block by Finch, no Newton passes to Morris, who passes to Laurent, who shoots, and scores twenty-zero to Ravenclaw' The crowd let out a roar
'Ouch' I said as Isaacson bumped into me rising higher, i gave him evils and he chuckled
'Come on Freya, catch the snitch already' He said
'Oh no you don't' i said to him turning my back on him, if i caught it no we'd be twenty points down.
'Thirty-zero to Ravenclaw' I looked down to see That Howard had scored and now he was fist pumping the air, the crowd cheering at him
'Look out' I yelled at him, there was an intake of breath from the crowd as a bludger flew towards his head
'Nice hit by Harper, that bludger zooming away' i sighed, as the bludger flew off towards the Ravenclaw hoops.
'ah' I said as the beater smashed into me causing me to almost fly off my broom
'Jasper what the hell do you think you're doing' James yelled from below
'Improvising' He yelled back smirking
'Piss off' I said trying to fly away but he rammed into me again, once again i almost fell off
'Jasper stop or-' James said but he was cut off as the whistle blew
'Fowl on the Ravenclaw seeker, you do not knock people of brooms- penalty' Madam hooch said coming up to where we were on the brooms
Lissa took the quaffle, flew up to the Gryffindor goal post, aimed and scored
'Yes!' i said punching the air
I saw the golden glint of the snitch fly above me, about ten feet, so faking a look of concentration i dived, Vertical. the Gryffindor seeker followed. i continued to dive, spinning around upside down again.
'Griffin appears to have seen the snitch, is the game over so soon?' The boy said, i pulled up about five feet from the ground, the gryffindor keeper did too. almost falling off his broom.
'Why do we all fall for that' He groaned i laughed before shooting upwards once more.
The snitch had vanished
'Sixty-zero To Ravenclaw'
i saw James swear, and laughed, i could now catch the snitch.
i looked around and saw the snitch once more, it was flying around the Ravenclaw goal post
'And Potter has the Quaffle, he's flying towards the, Has Griffin actually seen the snitch this time?'
the whole stadium held their breath and watched as i neared the snitch, i was loosing the Gryffindor Seeker and i reached my hands out
'James potter scores Sixty-ten to Ravenclaw, and Griffin catches the snitch, what, what does this mean?'
'It means that both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw have drawed'
'For fu-' i said but i was tackled into a hug by Lissa
'We drew, Freya, it's fine' She said
'But, we drew, we didn't win'
'and?'
'we drew'
'yes Freya we drew, and also, Sirius has just come onto the pitch' I whirled around, forgetting i was on my broom, and grabbed the handle before i fell off
he grinned at me and i lowered onto the floor, walking through the people that were now grouped inside the pitch
'Does this mean there is a rematch?' i could hear people saying, i stopped near Sirius and grinned
I ran towards him
'So will you be my girlf -' he began but i had jumped on him, he staggered backwards but caught me, I just giggled 'I'll take this as a yes?'
'yes!' I exclaimed, and i kissed him, in the middle of the quiddich pitch, and he kissed me back, the crowds called with wolf-whistles and a few people could be heard yelling
'Get a room' But i didn't care, Sirius black was now my boyfriend. We broke apart and he grinned at me.
'Finally!' Lissa cried running over to us 'I've had enough of his winging, and enough of you're clumsiness for the past five years, it's a fricken miracle, thank Merlin and his wispy beard of wisdom for now i am free'
i just hit her upside the head.
