James and Abbegayle Potter

Quidditch

Chapter 12: QUIDDITCH!

"WELCOME! TO THE THIRD MATCH OF THE SEASON!" Yelled Luke Hamiester, the other seeker who tried out for the team. "TODAY WE WILL BE WATCHING A MATCH GRYFFINDOR VS Slytherin?" The Gryffindors and Ravenclaws gasped as the heard the change. Luke just shrugged and kept reading off the parchment he had with him. "NOW FOR THE GRYFFINDOR TEAM! LUPIN, BLACK, MCKINNON, POTTER, KEMBLE, SMITH AND THEIR CAPTAIN JAMES POTTER!" The Gryffinfors yelled as I flew out to the pitch with my brother, Remus and Sirius by my side. "NOW FOR THE SLYTHERIN TEAM!" He yelled.

I didn't pay any attention to the names of the players because I could care less whose arse I was kicking. I watched as James and the captain of the Slytherin shake hands. I gripped the broom tight and flew up so I could get a good view of the pitch to watch for the snitch. I watched as the bludger and quaffles flew through the goals of either team. "Come on Remus." I muttered under my breath as I watched him miss another. Right now the score was 70-90 in favor of Slytherin. I needed to find the snitch and fast. I spotted the snitch floating by Sirius and I flew over to him quickly. On my way over there I felt my broom start to jerk different ways. I held on tightly and tried to maneuver it towards Sirius.

"ABBE! JUMP ONTO MY BROOM!" I heard James yell from beside me. I looked at him like he was crazy. There was no way I was gong to make it but I might as well try. I jumped from my broom and I heard a collective gasp come from students and teachers in the bleachers. I, unfortunately did NOT make it on the broom. James grabbed my hands and yelled for Sirius. I looked down and saw that I was hanging 50 feet above ground with just the support of my brother. Suddenly I saw that Sirius had appeared under me. "LET GO!" James yelled at me. I once again looked at him like he was crazy. "WHAT!? YOU WANT ME TO FALL TO MY DEATH!" I screamed at him, one tear running down my cheek. 

"Just trust me." He whispered. I nodded and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and let go. I yelled as I fell through the cold winter air. I was caught in someone's arms but I didn't open my eyes. "Shh It's Okay." The voice whispered. I knew that voice. That was Sirius. I opened my eyes and hugged him tight. "Thanks." I whispered in his ear.

He nodded and we began to fly towards the stands so I could sit this game out and have someone else be the seeker. Sirius' broom began to twitch just as mine did and instead of flying towards the stands we flew towards the ground...fast.  I held onto Sirius as we began to get closer and closer to the ground. He tried desperately to get the broom to stop but he couldn't He gripped me tighter and we hit the ground very hard. Good thing there was snow on the ground even though there was only 3 inches. I stood up out of the snow and took Sirius' hand and pulled him up. We heard the whistle and knew that Slytherin had caught the snitch and the game was over. James came down to us and jumped off his broom. He gave me a big hug. "James, all I did was fall. I haven't been gone for very long." I said chuckling. He laughed also and so did Sirius. Remus also came over here to see if we were all right.

"Are you guys okay?" He asked, the question pointing more to Sirius then me. Sirius said a quiet 'fine'. Meanwhile I was debating whether or not to be nice to him. I wanted to be nice to him so bad but I couldn't find what to say. He got a date the day after we broke up. He must not love me anymore... I gulped loudly and tried to think of the right things to say. 'I think it's about time I apologize to him instead of having him apologize to me' I thought. I examined the bracelet on my wrist that Remus had gotten me for Christmas. I fingered the little charms and looked up at Remus wanting to tell him that I still love him. I opened my mouth to speak until I saw Brielle prancing her way over to us. I looked over to Sirius and he wrapped his arm around my waist. I hugged him tightly and began to walk away from them. We put our brooms away and began to walk to the Gryffindor Common Room leaving a very indecisive James behind.

"You okay?" Sirius asked me. I looked at him and smiled. I am glad he is like this right now. Usually he isn't this way but he can be when he wants to be. I nodded and then sniffled a bit.

"No you're not... Let's go to the kitchens and get you some ice cream." He said smiling. I giggled.

"That's not why we are going to the kitchens is it? We are going because you want ice cream aren't we?" I asked with a goofy grin, trying not to laugh. He nodded and grabbed my hand and pulled me in the direction of the kitchens.

We got to the kitchens and Sirius tickled the pear. At I giggled along with the pear and the portrait swung open. We stepped in and a house elf came to greet us. "Hello Miss and Mister, Rosey is Rosey's name." I smiled. That's a cute name.

"Hello Rosey, please call me Sirius and her Abbe." He said gesturing to me. I smiled and waved a bit. " Can you get me some Butterbeer ice cream and..." He said trailing off looking at me.

"Smores ice cream please." I said smiling. I looked to Sirius. "Smores are little sandwiches with a cooked marshmallow, chocolate and graham crackers. They are so good."

"Rosey will be right back." Rosey said scampering off towards where the ice cream was held. Sirius and I sat at a nearby table and began to talk.

"I think you know that I brought you down here to talk about Remus.." Sirius said trailing off a bit. I nodded and sniffled a bit more thinking about Remus. "Abbe, come on, talk to me." Sirius whispered as he sat beside me. Rosey came back in with our ice cream and we thanked her. We walked out of the kitchens with our ice cream cones and I began to talk and eat.

"Sirius...it's just that I still love Remus. I regret yelling at all three of you last night but I was just scared. I am still scared. I don't want to hurt him anymore. But now he is dating Brielle Freakin' Prince the hottest girl in the school. He said he loved me and that I would be his forever." I said sobbing by this point. Noticing that I needed comfort instead of ice cream he made the cones disappear. I hugged him tightly and sobbed into his chest.

"Don't worry. He's got to still love you. I mean who wouldn't love you." He said hugging me tight. "Remus!" I yelled into his chest. He rocked me back and forth until I fell asleep.
