Chapter 53

Chapter 53

The next morning the seventh year students were all in the Great Hall for breakfast early.

“I wonder who I’ll be teamed up with.” Lily said as she ate some eggs.

“I wish we could still be on the same team.” James said glumly.

Lily laughed gently. “You are always on my team silly.” Lily laid her head on his shoulder.

James kissed the top of her head.

“I like that idea, I think we should skip it and go to our room.”

“Yeah that won’t be noticed by others that you two have snuck off instead of competing.” Remus smirked at James, who smiled at him, with a wink.

“Besides James this is our chance to see how great we are and who is the better men here.” Sirius told him with a smirk on his handsome face.

“Hey we all know who it is.” James told him. “Me” James, Sirius and Remus said at once. They all laughed heartily over this.

“You mean who she is.” Lily chimed in.

The boys laughed at this, “We’ll prove it to you Evans by one of our names going on the other cup.” Sirius told her as she stuck her tongue out at him.

“It’ll still be me.”

A hush fell over the students when Dumbledore stood up. Everyone was watching him eagerly.

“Attention seventh year students we have a large wheel that has spun all the names around as I pull out the names for the new teams I want you to come up here to join your team mates.”

Dumbledore reached in and pulled out he first one, “James Potter, of Gryffindor.”

James smiled confidently as he lean over to kiss Lily. “See ya up there love.” James sauntered up to the teachers’ table standing there looking very impressive.

“Bellatrix Black, of Slytherin,” She walked up the aisle as though she was the queen of the school.

Lily watched her with great dislike. “She is so full of herself.” Lily told Black.

“Yeah she’s a right prat she is.” Sirius agreed he looked at her with loathing.

“James won’t win this one not with her on his team.”

Lily felt bad for him being stuck with her on his team.

The next two were from Ravenclaw and the last one from Hufflepuff. The girl from Hufflepuff made a squeal of pleasure as she ran up to the front. “hahaha I’m with James Potter.” The girl yelled to her friends who were looking very sulky indeed.

There were now three teams when Sirius and Remus ended up on the same team. They had three girls with them two from Hufflepuff and one from Ravenclaw; all three girls were just as enthusiastic as the one who had joined James on his team. Lily had noticed that Bellatrix was eyeing James in a hungry way as though he may be something she’d enjoy playing with or devouring for the pleasure of it. Lily’s dislike for her was growing stronger.

Peter who was watching fearfully looked up at Lily.

“I sure hope were on the same team.”

“Don’t worry Wormtail you’ll do fine, just have confidence in yourself.” Lily smiled kindly at him.

Peter looked as though he had anything but confidence.

The next team will consist of these five.” Dumbledore pulled out a name, “Lily Evans, of Gryffindor.”
