A Fifth Marauder? | Marauders Era

7. Quidditch and Quarrils

"Come on!"

"Can a girl get come privacy?"

"Well, if you don't hurry up, we're gonna leave you!"

Ugh. Boys.

We are going to the quidditch game. And you-know-who is rushing me. I wrap a scarf around my neck and head down the stairs where Sirius, James, and Peter are waiting.

"Where's Remus?" I ask.

"Said his mum was sick," says James.

"Uhhhhhh..... okay?" I say. "Let's just go get some breakfast before I starve."

We head down to breakfast, where I fill my plate with bacon, toast, and eggs. I don't know why but for some reason, I'm really hungry.

I think it is way too strange that Remus went home because his mum was sick. I mean last month, he told me that his sister was sick. And I highly doubt that he has a sister.

Wait a minute......

No. No, he can't be. Can he?

"GRYFFINDOR VS HUFFLEPUFF! LET THE MATCH .......... BEGIN!"

The players are off.

We enjoy the game for a while and Gryffindor wins. We never loose against Hufflepuff. Watching this game makes me realize how much I actually like quidditch and it also made me realize that I want to try out for the quidditch team next year. I either want to be a chaser or a seeker. James is definitely trying out next year, although he won't tell me what he's trying out for. I do know, however, that Sirius is trying out for the beater position. That will suit him well.

The quidditch game lasts about an hour and a half, and most students head up for lunch. I quickly eat my lunch, without saying much to anyone. The five of us are gonna take a walk by the black lake.

"Sirius," James says. "Would you rather..... eat a dozen raw eggs oooooorrrrrr....... be trapped in a haunted hospital for 24 hours?"

"Hmmmmmm," says Sirius. "Eggs. Chloe! Would you rather.... have kids who were bullied or kids who were bullies?"

"Um," I say. "I gu-"

"Speaking of bullies," an unfamiliar voice says. "Look who it is."

We all whip around so fast we almost snap our necks. Sitting on a tree branch is a boy who has long, greasy black hair and a hooked nose.

"Well, well, well," Sirius sneers. "If it isn't Severus Snape."

"Uh, who is that?" I question. No one answers me, they all just stare at him.

Snape draws his wand. "Levicor-"

"Expelliarmus!" Sirius draws his wand faster than I could even think.

"Flipendo!" James shouts. The Snape kid falls backwards off of the tree branch. James and Sirius laugh.

"Stop!" a familiar voice shouts. Lily runs to help Snape up. "I'm so sorry Severus, just ignore them," she mumbles, grabbing his arm to help him up.

"I don't need your help! You filthy little mudblood!" My jaw drops. Lily drops his arm and I can see tears form in her eyes.

"I- I thought- I thought you were my- my f-friend!" I can see tears running down her face. She runs away, her red hair blowing in the wind.

"Lily! Lily, wait!" I say. She keeps running towards the castle. I turn to Snape. "Don't you ever call her that again!" I snap, and ran after her.

"Uh huh, and what are you gonna do about it, mudblood?" He calls after me. I completely ignore him.

How does he even know I'm muggle born?

I make it to the castle and stop to catch my breath, clutching my side. I hear water drip on the floor.

Wait... I'm crying. I've been too busy trying to catch up with Lily that I didn't even realize how heartbreaking it actually is to be called a 'mudblood'. Before I know it, I am in the floor sobbing into my arms.

Lily, I remember. Go comfort Lily. She's probably still crying. I quickly get up and run to Gryffindor tower, half shout the password, run up to our dormitory, and hear sobs coming from her four poster bed. I gently open the curtains and slide in bed next to her. I sniffle and wrap my arm around her.

"It's alright," I tell her. 

"Thanks," she says, wiping away a tear. "I hate James and Sirius always jinxing him, but I thought he was my friend.  He wouldn't call me that if he was my friend would he? I mean it's just..." She dramatically throws her arms around me and I wrap mine around her.

"Yeah, I know. It's okay. We are strong. We can get through this. He wasn't a real friend anyway if he called you that." I whisper into her shoulder.

"Wait..." she says as though she's just realized something terrible. She pulls away from me. "You've been crying. He called you the M word too. No. No, no, no. That's where I draw the line." She slams her hand on the bed and sits up on her knees. I gently push on her shoulders so that it forces her to sit back down.

"Lily, it's okay." I say. "We are gonna get through this. Together. And I don't want you to ever feel that your blood status has anything to do with who you are or how smart you are. You are the smartest witch I know."

A/N

Hello person reading this. Sorry for such a short chapter. I have another question for you guys.

I know that in a lot of Marauder Fanfics there is a lot of controversy over wether James is a seeker or a chaser on the quidditch team.

What I need to know is if you guys want me to use the movies (seeker) or the books (chaser).

(That's why he won't tell Chloe what he's trying out for)

I want to make this book the way you guys want it so......

Yeah.

Seeker or chaser for James?

See ya! 😄
