Lost in Love (A Harry Potter Love Story)

The New Quidditch Player

Lily's P.O.V

I close my eyes and try to sleep, but I just can't. I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, Harry will be dead. "Harry," I whisper. He turns around and faces me. "Yeah," he answers in a whisper. "I can't sleep, can you?" "No," whispers Harry. This whole conversation is in a whisper. "I'm scared that when I wake up you'll be dead," I say. "It's ok. I'll make sure that doesn't happen. You mean everything to me, and I won't let anything happen to you, even if it means putting my life at risk," said Harry. I smile and Harry smiles, too. "I love you," I say. "I love you too," Harry says. "I'll see you tomorrow, I promise," said Harry. "Goodnight Harry," I say as I start to tear up. "Goodnight, and it's ok. I'll be fine," Harry says. At this point I began to start crying, and Harry said "shh, it's ok." Harry then looked like he was in deep thought and said "I'll go ask Dumbledore something." Harry got up, and walked to Dumbledore. I see Dumbledore look over at me and nod. Harry comes back with a smile on his face. "What happened?" I gave him a look of confusion. "You can cuddle with me," said Harry. I immediately get up from my sleeping bag and join Harry. He starts to stroke and play with my hair, and the last words I heard before I fell asleep peacefully were "goodnight, love. I love you so much."

Harry's P.O.V

Lily fell asleep in my arms, and then I fell asleep with her in my arms. The next morning, I wake up and the thought of my Quidditch game against Hufflepuff tomorrow comes to my thoughts. I think both Lily and I forgot to mention Quidditch. Anyway, I wake up with Lily still in my arms. After I wake up, she wakes up. "Good morning," she says. "Good morning love," I say. Lily smiles and says "are you ready to beat Hufflepuff tomorrow?" I sigh and say "No, I'm nervous. What if I don't get the snitch first?" "It's ok, I'll still love you the same," says Lily.

Lily's P.O.V

Harry is nervous for his Quidditch game with Hufflepuff tomorrow. He's doubting himself on catching the snitch. I know he'll do a great job.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and I head to our DADA class but Hermione leaves again. When we get to the classroom, Ron sits at one table by himself and I sit with Harry at a table next to Ron's. After about 5 minutes, Snape comes in and says "turn to page 394." Everyone in the class starts storming to that page. "Excuse me, sir," says Harry, "where's Lupin?" "Your teacher is incapable of teaching at the current moment. Turn to page 394," said Snape. Ron was flipping a bit slow, so Snape flicks his wand which flips Ron's book to page 394. "Werewolves," asks Ron. I read the title- werewolves. This look of fear appears on my face and I hold Harry's hand under the desk, out of Snape's sight. "But sir, we've just begun to learn about Redcaps and Hinkypunks. We're not meant to start nocturnal beasts for weeks," says Hermione. "Quiet," says Snape. Ron gets this look of surprise since Hermione appeared out of nowhere and says "did you see her come in?" Harry looks at him and shakes his head. "Now, which one of you can tell me the difference between an Animagus and a werewolf," asks Snape. Hermione raises her hand and Snape says "no one? Pity." Please sir," as need Hermione, "and Animagus is one who alleys to turn into an animal. A werewolf has no choice. Once someone does the werewolf transformation, they don't know who they are, or who their friends are. They could kill their best friend in one night," said Hermione. Her words echoed in my head. They could kill their best friend in one night. A tear threatens to fall out of fear. Harry squeezes my hand in a comforting way and whispers "you ok?" "Yeah, I guess," I answer. "Now, for homework, two rolls of parchment on specific noting on recognizing a werewolf," said Snape. The class groans and Harry says "but sir, it's Quidditch tomorrow!" "Then I suggest you be extra careful Mr. Potter. Loss of limb will not excuse you," said Snape. Draco throws a piece of paper at Harry. Harry opens it and it's a drawing of Harry on his broomstick getting hit by a bluffer, then struck by lightning. I give Draco a look that says 'you jerk'. "The word werewolf is made up of the anglosaxin word were, which means man, and wolf. Man wolf, wolf man, now-" I dozed off and thought on the phrase Hermione had said earlier.

At the end of class, Harry saw that I looked traumatized and said "you ok?" "Yeah, I guess," I lied. "Come on, Lily. You can tell me," said Harry. "I think werewolves really scare me," I say. "It's ok, I'll protect you from everything you want me to, no matter what," said Harry. "You want to go down for lunch?" "Sure," said Harry. By this time, Hermione and Ron had caught up with us. "Hi love birds," said Hermione. I could feel my cheeks going pink. Harry and I were still holding hands. "You two made the CUTEST couple," said Hermione with a smile on her face. We arrived at the Great Hall for lunch, and the four of us sat together. I sat next to Harry, and Hermione sat next to Ron. We were on opposite sides though. We began talking about our DADA class. "That class traumatized me," I say. "Yeah me too," said Ron. We continues to talk about where we think Sirius black is. "I have to go to my Quidditch practice," said Harry. "Let's meet in the common room," I say. "Alright," Harry said. He gave me a quick kiss and left. "5 Galleons you end up together," said Hermione. "I think I should pay right now," I say. Hermione, Ron, and I laugh and continue to talk about anything. We head back to the common room and sit on the chairs by the fireplace doing some more talking. I wonder how Quidditch practice is going.

Harry's P.O.V

I got to my Quidditch practice and we start strategizing some game ideas to practice. At the end of practice, one of our Chasers decides to quit because she thought Quidditch was getting too rough for her. "Well, we'll need a new Chaser. Anyone got any ideas?" Said Oliver Wood, our captain. I thought of how Lily had always wanted to play Quidditch, and I said "I know someone." "Who?" "Lily Weasley. I could train her and we can get to the field early so she can show you her skills," I say to Oliver. "Alright, so we'll wait for tomorrow to see how good she is. She'll have to play this game anyway if she's not good. Let's get some sleep now and relax for tomorrow," said Oliver. We all left, and I went to find Lily. She was in the common room talking with Hermione and Ron. "Harry!" Lily said and ran to tackle me in a hug. I kissed her head and told her about the offer. Ron and Hermione were watching. "Hey, Lily?" "Yeah?" "How would you like to be a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" I could see Lily's face fill with happiness. "I'd love to, but I haven't trained." "Well, I could train you." "I'm afraid of heights, though. I thought for a moment. "I know how to fix that," I said, "let's go down to the Quidditch pitch and practice," I said. "Ok," she said. It wasn't late.

Lily's P.O.V

I've been offered a chance to be a Chaser in Quidditch!! I'm so excited!! I went with Harry to the Quidditch pitch and when we arrived, Harry put down his broom and got one for me. Harry handed me my broom and my fear of heights was coming back. "Harry, remember I'm scared of heights," I say. "What about when we rode on Buckbeak?" "I was with you, that's why I wasn't scared," I answer. Harry thinks for a moment and says "come on, I'll take you for a ride." I got on the back of his broom as my fear rises. Harry kicks off from the ground and we begin to fly. I tense up and feel like screaming. My face fills with horror and I cover my eyes. "Lily, you ok?" Harry asked me. "No," I answer. Harry removes my hands from my face and holds one of my hands in each of his. I'm forced to lean and Harry says "how does it feel?" "It feels great!" Harry flies back to the pitch and says "now I want you to fly me around the field and back. I'm terrified, but get the other broom and wait for Harry to get on. He gets on and Harry says "now kick off the ground nice and hard, and lean forward to fly forward." "How do I land?" I ask. "Lean downward and pull up just before the ground," Harry says. I sigh, and kick of from the ground. To my surprise, the broom raises up in the sky. I lean forward and the broom advances as I begin to steer us around the pitch. "You're doing it, Lily!" Harry replies. You fly around the pitch twice then land perfectly. "That was fantastic!" Said Harry. "Now I need to practice catching the Quaffle," I say. Harry finds the Quaffle, and we practice throwing. Once I get the hang of it, Harry says "you'll make a great Chaser." My cheeks turn pink and I say "let's head back to the castle. It's getting late." Harry quickly puts everything away and we head back to the Gryffindor common room. Harry's arm is around my shoulders and he says "you're great!" "Thanks," I say as my cheeks turn pink. We get back to see only Ron and Hermione in the common room. "How'd it go?" Asks Hermione. "Great," Harry answers. "Is she ready?" Asks Ron. "More than ready," said Harry. "I think we should go to bed," I say. After all, I've had a long day. "Yeah," the three of them say. "Goodnight, Harry," I say and give him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight, love," says Harry. Hermione and I head up to our dormitory where Hermione says "I'm serious about those 5 Galleons," said Hermione. I giggle and say "and I'll seriously give you 5 if you win." "Goodnight," Hermione says. "Goodnight." Let's see what happens at tomorrow's game.
