You

Chapter 6- Quidditch

Lily's POV:

I have no idea what the hell is going on. I . Didn't . Put . My . Name . In .

I make my way out the back, all eyes are on me and I feel terrified.

Terified...

I walk in and they turn around to look at me.

"Lily? What the hell are you doing here?!" Cedric looks at me. I open my mouth to say something but all the teachers come sprinting in after me.

"LILY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME INTO THE GOBLET OF FIRE!" Dumbledore grabs me.

"No! I swear!"

"DID YOU GET ANOTHER STUDENT TO PUT IT IN FOR YOU!" 

"NO!" He releases me and turns to McGonagall.

"Minerva what do we do?..." he sighs.

"There's nothing we can do..." Mr crouch interrupts. "The goblets decision is final... Miss Evans must compete..."

***

I'm in the Tri Wizard tournament... I still can't believe it...

"What do I do?" My eyes brim with tears and I stare into the fire by the common room. Not long after fred and george come in... george storming past me.

"Hey! George!" I run to him.
"You know you could have told your best friend about it." He looks mad but also upset.
"What..." I stutter.
"You know what, never mind, come on Georgie." Fred Is clearly upset. They make there way up to the boys dorm.

"I didnt ask for this to happen!!" Tears run down my cheek. They ignore me.
"Your being fucking stupid." I sob... and I sit back on the sofa, my head buried in my arms.

Julia's POV:

"Ginny forgot her wand again..." I sigh and I turn my head to yasmin.
"Does she do that every time?" She laughs. It seems like she does.

I make my way down the corridor towards the Gryfindoor common room. Ginny told me the password and I let myself in.

I see Lily sobbing on the sofa... head in hands.
"Hey... what's wrong?" I look at her concerned.

"Everything..." She doesnt even look at me she just sobs quietly looking down.

"Hey hey it's okay..." I sits down next to me and she buries her head into my chest...

"You believe me... right?" She look up at me. I know what she meant... I knew she didnt put her name in that goblet, that's not her.

"Of course I do! I dont care what people say." She looks up at me with her glistening eyes and I pull her close to me and she grabs my hand. I don't protest... I dont know why... I just dont.

Lilys POV:

I wake up and I'm still holding on to Julia's hand.
Fuck we fell asleep
I shake her to try and wake her up, she groans.

"Hey!" I snap my fingers in her face.
"Oh shit..." she looks around sleepily... realising where she was.

She stands up and hands me a wand.
"Can you give this to Ginny? She left it in my dorm." I take it.
"I will." She starts to walk out of the door.

"I wanted to say thanks... for last night..." I hurry. I was really nervous I dont even know why.
She smiles at me.
"No problem."

***

I couldn't concentrate... Oliver was giving us a pep talk before the match... I made seeker first year. Some argument with draco.

Its Julia's first match. She supposed to be really good, I bet she is. Shes on the other team but I still hope she does well.

"Hey Evan's!" Oliver looks at me, great.

"You listening?"
"Yes..." I hesitate, not the best liar...

He rolls his eyes and sighs.
"Doesnt matter, let's go." He picks up his broom and the rest of the team so the same... time to play some quidditch.

***

We are 20 minutes into the game already and I havent seen the snitch once.

Were playing slytherin which sucks... meaning I'm competing with some supposed amazing huffelpuff as a seeker... perfect.

My eye catches Julia as she whizzes past with the quaffle, scoring yet another goal... that's her 5th one... shes incredible. I mean I still wanna win... I need to get that snitch

I fly past her, smiling at her. Shes amazing.

I see a blur of gold fly straight past my nose... oh now you decide to show up.

I begin to chase the snitch... shortly followed by... shit I forgot his name, greeaaat.

It begins to fly upwards. Into the clouds.
"For fucks sake has someone hexed it again?!" I whisper under my breath. I fly until the sound drowns out.

The wind is strong... it knocks me off my broom, well, almost. I'm clinging on to the edge... for dear life.

The snitch I just hovering above it... I lost the other one ages ago. Here goes nothing.

I jump up for the snitch, just about managing to catch it with my fingertips, yet... I missed my broom.

I go plummeting down in the sky, I hear the stands gasp as I am about to hit the bottom of the pitch.

I hear the faint sound of someone yelling a spell, everything blurry until I hit the soft sand... everything once again coming into focus and I hear the stands cheer... well from one end.

"Lily Evan's has caught the snitch! GRYFINDOR WINS!" I brush the sand off myself and run and hug Julia, that was amazing... I know were on opposing teams... but she was incredible.

***

The only sound in the huffelpuff common room is the sound of Julia's name being called, me Hermione and ginny came with... were pretty friendly with huffelpuff.

Huffelpuff is the least competitive team... I don't think they even care they lost Its great. I smile to myself.

Everyone crowds around her.

I know Julia doesnt like publicity but she low-key seems to being enjoying it... she deserves it.

I'm standing next to hermione and turn around to find ginny... wheres Ginny?

I turn around to see ginny pushing through the enormous crowd and she runs up to julia as pulls her in for a kiss. I watch them lock lips and it feels like someone just punched me in the chest

My heart feels like its disintegrating... the world melts around me and tears fill my eyes. The music is drowned out and my heart thumps in my chest.

The only thing I recognise is my heavy breathing. I turn around and push my way out of the crowd... running back to the gryfindoor common room. Distraught with tears I run up onto my bed and sob.

I hear the door open and Hermione enters, she doesnt even say anything she just hugs me close... I dont know what just happened.
