"What have you been hiding?" Sirius unexpectedly vocalized in my ear at the Ravenclaw verses Gryffindor Quidditch match. Lily and I thought we chose a different spot than the hooligans, but sadly, we thought wrong.
"What in the world are you talking about?" I called over the cheers of the fans as the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw Quidditch teams took the field.
"You and Remus. We know you're hiding something! He's not actually at home because his 'mother is sick'."
Trying to put on a straight face, I stared back into Sirius' silver eyes and replied hotly, "That is exactly where he is. If you don't believe me, just ask Remus when he gets back."
Once again, Sirius and his friends failed to realize the full moon over one of the Quidditch posts. They were too daft to connect all the signs of a werewolf to Remus' absences. Ignoring the trio, I turned my attention to the field. Honestly, I didn't care who won, either my house team will win, or Felix will.
"Let the match begin!" an enthusiastic voice boomed across the field and the players shot up in the air. With the cool, end of November air, it was a perfect afternoon for a Quidditch match. All the players zipped around the field, making me long to ride a broom again.
I watched Felix intently as he gained possession of the Quaffle and weaved through other players towards the hoops. He made a spectacular shot, one I thought would certainly score, but Gryffindor's Keeper intercepted the shot with an amazing dive.
"No!" I groaned through the cheering Gryffindors, feeling bad for Felix.
"Did you just feel bad for Ravenclaw?!" James asked in a horrified tone.
"Yes, that was my brother that tried to score," I pointed out and watched Felix chase after the Quaffle again.
"Him?" James pointed at Felix as he dodged a Bludger and gracefully caught the Quaffle. I nodded, and James' eyes followed Felix as he tried to make another shot that was once again intercepted by our Keeper. "He's a pretty good flier... But of course, not as good as me."
"This is James Potter everyone, future captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team!" Peter jumped in, making James do some sort of weird bow.
"Quidditch is my one true love! I'm going to make the team next year," James continued, getting a wistful look in his eyes. "Do you play Lexi?"
"Kinda... But I don't know what I would play for the team..." I remarked and thought back to practicing with Felix. Every time we played, I would be Keeper... And all of Felix's shots would easily go in. Whenever I played Chaser, I would drop the ball at the worst times. And Seeker? Forget about it! I was blind as a bad!
My eyes followed Felix as he approached the Gryffindor hoops for the third time. This time, I was nearly certain he would score after faking like he was going one way then whipping around, but I was wrong! Gryffindor's Keeper stopped it yet again!
"Nothing gets by Wood," James whistled.
"Wood?" I repeated while watching the slender Gryffindor Keeper guard the middle post, his red robes rippling in the slight breeze.
"Our keeper, Robert Wood. He's only in his third year and he's probably the best Keeper we've ever had!" James explained as if this were common knowledge. Lily and I turned our attention the Gryffindor goal posts where the brown-haired boy flew around blocking the hoops as if it were a sixth sense.
"He is pretty good," Lily whispered. Her green eyes were tracking the Gryffindor Keeper as well. Many girls in the stands seemed to be watching him just as we were.
