The Tale of the Marauders (Marauders Era Love story : Sirius/ Severus Fanfic)

Chaotic 2nd Year

Liza P.O.V
The gang & I were so excited to start our 2nd year. James & I were looking forward to quidditch tryouts since we were finally old enough. We had spent a good portion of the summer already practicing. Dad felt that we were ready & was confident that we would be picked.

Today was tryouts & all of our friends were spending their free time to cheer us. Cissy, Reggie, Sev, Pandora, Alice, Lily, Remus & Peter were watching from the middle section. I nudged James & Severus when I saw 4 other people join them.

"Prongs, Paddy look. Its our parents & grandparents! They're with our friends." I excitedly pointed out. All three of us looked in their direction & waved. They waved back at us & pointed at the captain so we would pay attention.

The captain split us into teams. He would lead one group while his #2 would head the other. Luckily the three of us were all on the captains team so we wouldn't have to compete against each other. They would be watching us during the game for the best players. Afterwards, we flew out onto the field to play.

The three of us did well as we zoomed through the field. We were scoring most of the points as we were stuck in a stalemate. Siri was a beater, James was a chaser while I was a seeker, the hardest job. I did do extra stuff like helping James get some balls but my main focus was on the snitch.

I spotted it halfway through the game. Unfortunately so did the other seeker. We raced after it as it sent us dipping & diving through teammates. We even got close to the bleachers, enough that my family could have touched us. The snitch began getting tricky as it looped around one of the towers before diving down into the rafters below. I managed to dive underneath the other guy to get ahead. I ducked & weaved through the beams as he was hot on my tail. I took a risk & got out of the rafters to wait farther ahead above. My plan worked as the snitch popped out a few moments later allowing me to snatch it effortlessly. With the snitch caught, the match ended & everyone gathered around to celebrate.

After my mini celebration, the captain had us line up on the field. Our "fans" were allowed to watch from the sidelines. The three of us held hands as we anxiously waited for their decision. After a few moments, they broke the huddle & came back to us.

"When you hear your name, come stand with us." The captain instructed before reading some name. The first few were old players which didn't surprise me. That left about 5 spots for newbies.

"Thomas Wallis & Johnathan O'Hara, beaters. James Potter & Sirius Black, chasers." The captain announced before staring at me. "Now, the most important position. Our youngest seeker in over the 30 years, Elizabeth Potter."

The boys quickly surrounded me as my mouth dropped open in shock. The four of them hoisted me up & began throwing me up in the air a bit. The girls, Reggie & Sev surrounded them as a mob formed. My parents & grandparents laughed at the sight as they took pictures. I turned red from embarrassment but quickly enjoyed the attention. They quickly put me down as our family approached.

"See pumpkins, I told you that there was nothing to worry about." Dad reminded us as he & mom drew the three of us in a hug

"I can't wait to see you beat Slytherin! We're so proud of you all." Grandma gleefully shouted as grandpa laughed beside her

"No matter what you'll always have three Slytherins cheering you on." Cissy added as Sev & Reggie smiled next to her

"We'll be the loudest ones in the home section."  Lily promised with Alice & Pandora eagerly nodding

"Thanks everyone, it be a lot easier knowing you'll be screaming your heads off for us." I said as I stood with my family. "Siri this is the only time you can tail me. I don't want to get knocked out on my first game."
