Flames ( HP Fire Series #1)

17. Christmas VII

Sirius's p.o.v.

"And Hazel in possession of the Quaffle, come on, duck James!" Aurora shouted as she commentated.

"And Hazel scores!" I groaned and the girls whooped.

"Bloody hell! You'll think they are professionals!" I told James.

"Well, they're aggressive." He shrugged.

"I wanna play too!" Aurora whined but Autumn and James glared.

"Certainly not! You just got stabbed with a knife! You need rest!"

"Bloody rest!" She groaned. "Come on, I'm releasing the Quaffle again!" We swooped to our positions.

"James in possession, intercepted by Autumn's bludger, and now Rose in possession. Rose! Aren't you supposed to be watching for the Snitch?!"

"Oi! Focus on the commentary!" Peter yelled.

"A bludger from Sirius-Oops, Rose dodged it! Too bad, Sirius! Another bludger from Autumn, look how magnificent the girl can hit, Sirius! And, oh! Rose dives downwards with great speed! Has she seen the Snitch? Remus follows closely but he definitely looks sick! Hold on there, Rem! Don't faint! And... Rose got the Snitch! The girls win by 200 to 0!" 

"Bloody hell?! What a shame to us boys!" James said annoyed.

"Too bad boys! We girls have great teamwork!" Autumn smirked. Her hair was flowing down her back as her baby blue eyes twinkled playfully. I felt myself getting kinda jittery, gosh! What's wrong with me? I'm not falling in love with her! Yes, she's beautiful, kind, smart, charming, playful, funny... "Stop it!" I chided myself. Hell, she has a boyfriend! And she's my best friend's sister! Shaking the thought out of my head, I put my arm around her, ignoring the fluttering feeling in my stomach.

"Let's get something to eat, shall we?" I suggested.

"Merlin, I'm starving!" She laughed and I rejoiced in the musical sound of her voice. It filled me with instant warmth like the soft spring breeze.

"Sirius? Are you alright?" I was shook out of my thoughts by her concerned eyes.

"Yeah, just thinking." I mumbled.

"Well when has the great Sirius Black ever been so deep in thought? This is a miracle! James!" She ran away, her figure so perfect like a butterfly flying gracefully in the wind.

"When it is you." I sighed, knowing my chances with her was almost zero. 

"So, someone's in love." Rose jogged to catch up with me. 

"What? No! How could I?" I stuttered quickly.

"Now no need to be so defensive. Here." She handed me a leather-bound notebook.

"Autumn has one too. She's enchanted it so that anything you write inside will appear in hers. She meant to give them to you guys but I reckon she forgot. She's forgetful like this!" Rose laughed.

"Anyways, good luck! I don't like Will that much, though. He's creepy."

I listened to all this in silence. "Will? Her boyfriend?" I felt myself tense up at the mention of his name.

"Yeah, and don't pretend you aren't jealous. See you in summer!" She winked at me and hurried to pack her things. Gods, I almost forgot the girls are leaving tomorrow! Damn it!

Autumn's p.o.v.

"Bye guys! See you!" I waved, feeling a little sad of leaving.

"Bye!" They waved and I hugged them one by one.
