Nah, She Didn't

~ Part 43 ~ Not Like You Needed to Say Our Names, We're Famous ~

Thriller - Michael Jackson

-James POV-

The score is 80-70 to Slytherin.

We had to change this.

I make a gesture towards Ricky and Jenna, signaling for us to do one of our special plays.

I soar over the field, eyes straight on Ricky and Jenna, who are passing the quaffle back and forth on the other end of the field, maneuvering their way towards me so I can score. I meander around a few yards across from the Slytherin's goal post. I see Jenna and Ricky get closer to me, and I ready myself to catch the quaffle.

Ricky catches a pass from Jenna, then chucks it towards me. In a swift movement I catch it and turn around on my broom, throwing it through the bottom left goal post. The Slytherin Keeper dips down his broom, attempting to block it, but his hand misses it by a quarter-inch.

The Gryffindor stands, and a majority of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff stands, erupt into cheers.

"And Flint misses the Quaffle by an INCH! Thank Merlin for his horrid eyesight, and Potter, Johnson, and Bell's perfect play right ther-" Hal Jordan begins.

"Mr. Jordan! No biased commentary," I hear Minnie snap at him.

"Fine... As I was saying, thank Merlin for that awful eyesight and perfect play-" Hal starts again.

"Mr. Jordan!" Minnie says sternly.

"But I didn't even name any names!" Hal says. Minnie sighs exasperatedly and shakes her head. "Right! Well, it looks like-ooh! There goes Kirke shootin' down the pitch! Seems like my man Sal's... SEEN THE SNITCH! COME ON SAL! HURRY! OL' BLETCHLEY'S SEEN YA! HE'S COMING UP BEHIND YOU! HURRY YOUR ARSE UP!"

"Mr. Jordan, if you do not make your commentary less biased, I will be speaking for the remainder of this game," Minnie snaps.

"Fine, Professor, fine... KIRKE NEEDS TO HURRY HIS ARSE UP"- Minnie just gives Hal a sigh-"OR ELSE BLETCHLEY, WHO'S FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND, WILL CATCH UP!" Hal yells. "WOAH! I CAN'T SEE A DAMN SNITCH ANYWHERE, BUT-"

"Mr. Jordan-" Minnie starts harshly.

"-KIRKE'S REACHING OUT HIS ARM! HE'S LEANING FORWARD! HIS HAND IS CLOSING IN! AND HE'S GOT IT! KIRKE HAS GOT THE SNITCH EVERYONE! THAT'S YET ANOTHER PERFECTLY CONCOCTED WIN BY GRYFFINDOR! LET'S GO LIONS!" Hal screams.

After silently cheering, I fly around, searching the pitch for Sirius. Our eyes meet, and we both nod at each other and smirk. We shoot towards Hal, and before he can do anything to stop us-not that he would, he's quite the respectable fellow prankster and troublemaker-Sirius snatches the microphone and tosses it to me. I begin to speak.

"Everyone, everyone, James Potter and Sirius Black here. We would like your attention please," I say. Sirius leans over to me.

"Not like you needed to say our names, we're famous," Sirius mutters, but the microphone projects his voice, and everyone laughs. "See, they love us already. Okay, Prongs, hurry up."

"Right. Well today we have an ANNOUNCEMENT." I say.

"That SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR," Sirius follows.

"BUT IT IS THE SAD TRUTH, AND IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW IT, THEN I-"

"AND I-"

"WILL BEAT-"

"THE SHIT OUT OF YOU." Sirius finishes our overlapped sentence.

"RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL NOT BEAT AROUND THE BUSH-"

"AND JUST GO AHEAD AND SAY-"

"THAT LILY EVANS-"

"AND MARLENE MCKINNON-"

"ARE OFF LIMITS-"

"TO EVERYONE." Sirius finishes. Everyone starts looking around for Lily and Marlene.

"I AM SAD TO SAY THAT THE TWO LOVELY LADIES-"

"ARE CURRENTLY IN THE CASTLE-"

"BUT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS MANDATORY ALL THE WHILE."

"ME AND MS. MCKINNON ARE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER," Sirius says dramatically.

"AND ME AND MS. EVANS ARE BLOODY SOULMATES," I add.

"SO IF ANY OF YOU-"

"LAYS A FINGER ON THEM-"

"NO MATTER YOUR INTENTIONS-"

"HURTING, OR ASKING OUT-"

"YOU WILL ANSWER-"

"TO US."

Me and Sirius look at each other and nod.

"OH! AND THIS ONE'S FOR MOONY!" Sirius announces.

"MARY MCDONALD'S OFF LIMITS TOO," I explain. We look over at the Gryffindor stands to see both Remus and Mary blushing.

"WELL MY DEAR FELLOW PEERS-"

"I AM AFRAID THAT IS ALL."

"WE BID YOU GOOD DAY."

"OH! AND LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE FUCKING AWESOME GRYFFINDORS!" I yell.

A cheer erupts, and I charm the mic to go back to Hal. He catches it and grins at us, as opposed to Minnie who is glaring at us. I try to smile apologetically but it backfires and I end up laughing my head off with Sirius. We fly down and land on the now flooded-with-students ground.

"AFTER PARTY AT PRONGS'S PLACE!"
