Chapter 13, Trying.

AN: Theres going to be more swearing from here and til 7th Year, so beware....ooooooh

*Lucy's POV*

     I was alone in the common room, in the middle of the freaking night, finishing a essay that Professor Blotchily our DADA teacher had assigned us. Ughh, I thought, Vampires are boriinggg. The only thing they do is live almost for forever, and drink blood. I dipped my quill into a ink bottle carefully since I didn't want to make a mess.

     "Still doing homework eh?" said a voice which startled me, making me jump and drop the ink bottle. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." I said, irritated at Sirius for making me drop the bottle. "Hey!" said Sirius, "You aren't supposed to swear, plus, I think you meant that I couldn't be Sirius." He said raising an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"I'm more Sirius than ever,"
*smack.*

     The next day we had Transfiguration after breakfast, at breakfast however, something interesting happened. I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked up, the team captain.
      "Lucy," he said, "Can I talk to you? Privately?" I nodded and went outside. "The first game is next Saturday, and we have decided that we will practice, in the evening this and next Friday and the mornings in Saturday's." He took his hand out and said,

       "I've never actually said my name, it's Jared, Mason Jared" said Jared. "You know me already so," I said awkwardly. "Now, be a dear and say this to James please." I glared at him and said, "Don't call me any of those names." And left. 
        I told James and we all left for Transfiguration.
        "You're late." said McGonagall, "Sorry Professor," I say, "it won't happen again." Finished Remus, and Professor McGonagall in response said, "Go ahead and sit down then." We muttered sorrys and sat down, James with Sirius, Remus with me, and Peter with a girl I think is named Marie.    

     We are all betting whether Peter likes her, he seems to become even more awkward around her.  Professor McGonagall started saying that we were studying different spells to turn different thing into different things. We then practiced on our quills, trying to make them into a sort of token. "Hulem Jaled." Was heard all over the classroom, James was the first person and I was second, seconds before him.

          The week past pretty quickly and the Quidditch game was soon there. "Ok, listen up," said the captain, "this is our last time to train, and the first game is going to be against Hufflepuff. They'll be easy enough." That last comment made me kind of angry, why does people see Hufflepuff as a spare? As the rest? As the useless? Because if they have a house, they clearly aren't the "spare." Lost in my thoughts, I realized James was the only one there saying my name, we were late to practice, even if we were already there.

       "If we get killed, it's going to be your fault Lucy." He said as we mounted our brooms to get there quicker I scoffed and said, "Well, then you shouldn't have waited for me." "Well, better me than the captain." I made no remarks to the comment, I don't get it, is he saying that he has a thing for me?

        "James, Lucy, where were you?" "Somewhere," "Just get into position." We spent the rest of the morning practicing, then eating, then getting ready to play. It was kind of nerve racking, it was the first game. After we ate, well Sirius forced me to, "To get my strength up." It reminded me of the first official day of school. I helped him and he's helping me now.

I was drinking my water when I heard the bell, the bell that signaled that it was 12! 12 was the Quidditch match. Everybody got up from their seats excitedly, but I, I was as nervous as I ever could be. I think James was too. At least from the looks of it.

"Shake hands!" Yelled Madam Hooch the team captains shakes hands. "Mount your booms! Now I want a nice clean game," a shout from Gryffindor was heard, "Will Do Professor!" "Very well then." Then a whistle was heard, I immediately went upwards it was what my favorite seeker always did.

A few minutes later, I saw a gleam of gold a good few yards away. I tired to be a bit discreet so that the other seeker wouldn't notice it right away. When I noticed from the corner of my eye that the seeker was following me suspiciously I dived for it, it's now or never I thought.

"It looks like Lucy found the snitch!" said the commentator, "And the Hufflepuff seeker, Kole, is right behind her! Such a cheater, can't even see." said the commentator, "Jordan!" Yelled Professor McGonagall, "Sorry Professor," He said, but I was more interested in the snitch, which was an inch away, so close.

"AND LUCY ROSS HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH EVERYBODY! GRYFFINDOR WINS! 250 TO 230! WHAT A GAME!" said "Jordan", I guess. I was in the ground with my fist up in the air, smiling like and idiot, I had indeed caught the snitch. Congrats and good jobs and you're amazing and just cheers we're heard in general. Some Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherin were booing, but there were most Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs down here with us, celebrating.

Red and gold colors were everywhere, and the cheers were deafening. Sirius was kissing a different girl this time and James was celebrating, while Remus and Peter were, actually where were them? I got a plate of food and tried to exit the common room. "Aren't you the reason for the party?" Asked the fat lady, "Yes, But I'm looking for someone." I told her.

Who does she think she is? My mother? "Lucy!" Yelled a voice, "Shit," I whispered I ran down the corridor and turned a corner. My uniform was a bit, bigger, than my normal clothes so they sagged. "Lucy?" said a voice too familiar, Jason. Or something like that. "Have you seen her?" He asked the fat lady my heart skipped a beat, she wasn't the best pers- painting sometimes. "No." I sighed, in my mind, I'm not going to give up my hiding space.

He left and I went for the hideout painting. I turned before getting in and thank her, "You need to watch out, it's happened before." I nodded, unsure of what she had said and got in. I heard snoring. I got up quietly and saw a Peter and Remus sleeping. The full moon had been a week before and Remus had barely made it to the game.

"Remus," I said softly, he mumbled and I told him softly once more, "Remus, you need to eat." He was opening his eyes now and he said in sleepy voice, "aren't you supposed to be down there." "I was, but you're more important than that." He scoffed. "Really Remus, you're telling me that when your name is 'Wolf Wolf?'" He smiled and said yes.

He ate and went back to sleep, I slept there too, wanting to protect him from the world, the cruel world that hates werewolves, even if they never asked for it.
