You Can Wish Potter, You Can Wish

Chapter 10 - The First Quidditch Game

Lily's POV

Today was the day of the first Quidditch game of the year, Gryffindor vs Slytherin. Before I went to Hogwarts, Sev tried to explain to me about Quidditch, but I didn't really understand it, and he said he doesn't really like it. So, today I'm going to see my first Quidditch game. It starts at eleven, so I have a bit of time before I go down to breakfast. I got dressed in Gryffindor colours, red and gold to show my support, brushed my hair and then I finished off my essay for Charms about the incendio charm, which sets fire to things. It was quite easy.

When I got to the Great Hall for breakfast, I looked at the ceiling and it showed the early November morning in the grey sky and the pummelling rain. I sat on my own, because all the other girls were still sleeping.

I reached to get the toast, and I sensed somebody sit next to me. Please don't be Po-

"Alright, Evans?" I mentally groaned and put on a sarcastic smile.

"Yes, Potter. Now what do you want?"

"Do I always have to want something to talk to you?"

"Well, yes."

"Actually, you're right. I do want something. Someone. You." He said, pointing at me.

"Yeah, right." I mutter.

"I want you," He starts. "to watch the game with me."

"Not gonna happen." I said in a sing-song voice. "You can wish, Potter."

"One day it will." He murmured, before standing up and walking over to Black and sitting down. I'm sure that it will NOT happen any day soon. Or any year.

"Hey Lily." I heard someone say.

"Hi Remus." Now, I know what you're thinking, I hate him, but I don't. Over the last two months, Remus was really nice to me and he was good competition in class. Also, he said that Potter and Black are clever too, but I rolled on the floor laughing at that. It's like saying that Dorcas is a fairy princess. He always tried to make me stay in the same room as Potter, and that really annoyed me, but he was his friend too.

"Has James annoyed you again?" He asked.

"Yes. AGAIN!" I spat.

"I'm sorry about him, he really likes you, but doesn't know how to act around you."

"He does NOT like me. He would be nice to me if he did. And what about those girls he snogged last week? Does he really like them too?!" Now, I was even angrier than when Potter was there.

"He just did it to make you jealous."

"Yes, and Sev is going to burst into the Hall wearing a ballerina tutu and have orange hair." At that, he burst out laughing, and I found out why a second later.

"POTTER!!!!!" It was Sev. He was trying to hide his hair, which was red (I was close) and he had a ballerina tutu on. I fell on the floor from laughter, but then I remembered that he was still my friend, however distant we may be.

"Lily, you should really consider taking Divination in third year." Choked Remus through a fit of laughter. Okay, it was quite funny, even though it was Sev.

"I should go to James and Sirius now. I'll see you at the game?"

"Yes."

Remus walked over to the twitching lumps on the floor, which were Potter and Black, shaking from laughter, and the plump boy, Peter.

"Lil! Have you seen Snape?" Shouted Marlene, walking into the Hall, dragging a hysterical Alice, a totally red Mary and Dorcas, behind them, pulling Pandora. They were all looking in the direction of the Slytherin table, where Sev sat, sulking behind his newly acquired red hair. To be honest, I think the colour suits me more.
