"Get out James. Get out."

~~

January 30th, 1977

Gryffindor was losing to Ravenclow with 30 points difference. Both James and Electra were about to explode due to how their team was playing. The seeker wasn't doing his best after insisting that he wouldn't appear to all of the practices and the one Beater was actually playing against his own team. Somehow the one Bladger was always after Electra. Sirius was doing a great work protecting both the Seeker and the other players of the team. At times he was checking for the Ravenclow Beaters just to be sure that Diane was doing well away from the crazy Black Bladgers.

"AND TEN MORE POINTS TO RAVENCLOW" the commentator said whose commentation had nothing to do with humorous Sirius' ones.

Electra wanted to scream. The team was being humiliated and she was beginning to feel worthless. And apart from this negative feeling of coming second, of being humiliated she had the black Bladger chasing her like a hungry leopard chases a gazelle. Her eyes locked with the ball and she started whispering something between her curses.

"El! Stop it!" James' voice was heard but it was too late.

"ELECTRA STAR! You're out of the game!" McGonagall took the stand and shouted at the girl.

"I think you owe me an apology!" James said as soon as he entered McGonagall's office following Electra.

The girl turned to look at him with her lips pressed to a thin line. "I don't owe anyone anything! James this thing was chasing after me and you could have stopped it!"

"How could I stop it Electra? What am I? A mind controller?" James shouted back at his friend. He was furious not only with her but with the hole team. The problem was that he didn't know to who he was angrier. From where that anger steamed from. Was it from the incapability of his Seeker? Was it because his two Beaters were the one in favour to the other team and against Electra and the other trying to protect the other team's Chaser? Or was it angry at Electra who had broken the rules of the game and used magic to harm someone else? He had no idea.

"Stop shouting at eachother!" The woman with the high hat spoke eventually with her normal voice when it came to such things. "Miss Star, I think you have some explaining to do."

Electra looked at the woman, then at James and then she trailed her glance to face someone but no one met her eyes. She turned to her professor again and licked her lips having her head low. "I didn't want this to happen..."

"No one accused you for that. Why would you want this to happen?" McGonagall asked softly understanding the emotional state the girl was.

"Some people might. And I really care for one of this these people."

James looked at her and then at the professor who nodded him to leave them alone. He stole one more glance at his friend who was now facing directly the woman directly into her eyes and then turned to leave. He had to check on one more person. While exiting he felt the urge to shut the door behind him but realised that this was not going to lead him anywhere.

"So Electra you know what happened." McGonagall said as soon as James had exited. "What do you have to say? Actually no... What lead you to do it?"

Electra let out a sigh. Due to her frowned eyebrows you could tell that she was full of anger inside her but her eyes were filled with sadness. "Minn- Professor, I didn't want any of this to happen. I don't really know what lead me there."
