Chapter 11

Of course the stadium started to fill with students that had noticed the activity going on plus the many little dragons with a Catherine wheel joining them. Every time they hit each other they morphed into a large and small donuts, piglets and goblins with clubs.

No one was sure what the score was they were having so much fun switching Harry’s and Hermione’s broom for their own, casting other spells on each other and trying to dislodge a person from their broom. Harry had to help Hermione when she found herself hanging by her knees on her broom.

James found his own broom emitting small silver and green stars that were blowing into his face making it hard to see the others or a Snitch.

Several below wondered briefly and continuously even more then that why James Potter and Lily Evans continue to call the older boy their son, although they had to admit he looked just like James, just older by a few years.

Most assumed he was James older brother and it was some odd inside joke.

At this point no one had a clue what the score was, everyone was tossing spells at the opposing team, swiping the better brooms from each other and trying to take out the Keeper. Peter had found himself the target by his own team members leaving him puzzled why they would hit the Bludger at him. No one told him that it was he Peter who had hurt so many in their lives and ended Lily and James life at a young age.

After a while Harry had his Firebolt back once more. he was streaking though the air after the Snitch, it was then he found himself several yards away on a very old shooting star, lumbering along a lot slower than he was used to, he looked around in time to see his father catching the Snitch laughing hysterically holding it up. Harry yelled Accio Snitch; it zipped from his father’s hands to his own.

“Look who has it,” Harry bellowed laughing. Hermione hurried over hugging him tight kissing him.

James turned around to see his son laughing hard holding the snitch in his hand.

He burst into laughter with everyone else; it was they had to admit a very fun game.

They all slowly sunk to the ground laughing hugging and cheering loudly.

“That was great,” James hugged Harry, happily, “you are a superb player son,” James looked at him proudly, a few tears gathering in his eyes.

“You were amazing Harry,” Lily hugged him next, her own tears welling up in her eyes. “I just wish….”

“What mom?” Harry asked looking concerned. Snape slipped his arm around her waist.

“Don’t worry love, I’ll always be yours,” He whispered softly. She burst into tears taking him into her arms holding him tightly.

“Uh,” Harry looked concerned at his mother then father. He had no idea why his mom was so close to professor Snape since it didn’t seem that way in the memories he had received from his professor. He did wonder if maybe a lot of memories were left out.

“It’s ok Harry; she’s umm in love with…” James waved a hand lifelessly at the two.

“Oh, I didn’t realize, I knew he was in love with her but I didn’t know she returned it,”

“You knew” James forgot his pain at seeing Lily snuggled up and kissing Severus by this odd announcement.

“Well yeah before I fought with Tom Riddle, I had seen his memories, he umm gave them to me it was planned between him and Dumbledore for me to learn the truth,”

“The truth but what truth was that?” James asked turning away from Lily and Severus.

It was too painful to see that, Sirius and Lupin walked over placing their hands on his shoulder. They knew it was hurting him to not have Lily’s love the way Severus did.
