the setup. (james potter x reader)

fifty one.

"Now we have the holyhead harpies! Today they have their newest addition to the team Y/N Lara-James Lupin who is their seaker that just graduation from Hogwarts now show your love for the newest player!" The speaker shouted.

My teammates nodded their heads towards me pushing me to go first, "Common Lupin. Go have your moment!"

Mounting my broom and pushing off i flew around the stand waving where the remainder of the team followed.

As the applause began to die down he called out the other team, Tutshill Tornados.

"Now everyone get in your positions!"

Flying i took my position and before i knew it the game started. Players flew to my left some flew to my right. Some went up and some went down.

But it wasn't my job to pay attention to them. But a little flying gold ball. Luckily today i had put my contacts in. Not like wearing glasses during a game would be my best decision. It's not hogwarts anymore. I'm no longer playing in front of a school, but now so many more.

I spotted the snitch from across the field and went towards it, "Lupin watch your head!"

Instantly I dived down turning to the voice of my teamate i shot a thumbs up and continued. The seaker from Tutshill Tornadoes. A much older player than me Abhainn Wusher. He's been seaker for this team from the year i started at hogwarts. He was not about to get beaten. He started heading towards my direction, eager to get the snitch too.

It wasn't hard to spot either team, us in bright green and yellow. Them in bright blue. The snitch flew up and down, left to right. Close to near impossible to catch.

"And another score from Hollyheas Harpies these girls are not to be messed with! They now lead 310 - 300."

I never knew the game had been going on for this long. Well to the extent of reaching this many points.

Abhainn and I closened as we both began to near the snitch, "First game Lupin. Not that bad."

"Could say the same for you."

He sneered, "Pathetic, a first timer. Trying to insult and hurt me. I've been playing this game longer than you've known of this existence."

"Maybe you should consider retiring." I spat back. Jumping from my broom i leaped to grab the snitch and before i knew it the game was over.

The tumble on the way down wasnt plesant. But the game was over. Landing on the ground with a thump i rubbed my head in pain before pulling myself up. But i stood up then held the snitch up, "HERE WE GO! LUPIN HAS GRABBED THE SNITCH TO WIN THE GAME FOR THE HOLLYHEAD HARPIES!"

"There we go!"

The stadium urpted in years and i looked over to the box and spot all of my friends cheering. James and Sirius especially.

Walking out of the change room i followed the team to where we created fans and what nort. Though stayed close to Cassidry. "Bite my buttons but Lupin we never thought you'd catch a snitch until your second season."

"Nice to know you all had faith in me, really warms the heart Cas."

After talking for a bit i walked out grabbing my bags and spotted James. He turned to me grinning, i dumped my bag on the floor running towards him and he picked me up and spun me before pulling me into a kiss, "My susperstar! Lupin! You won them the game!"

Remus and my father came over messing up my already sweaty hair, "My dear! You were fabulous. Looked like you were right back at hogwarts playing for ravenclaw once again."

"It's not like it's been years Dad. Only graduated a month or so ago."

"Oh i know! But you all have achieved so much since then it is so amazing,"

"Lara-J!" A female voice cried, I turned around to be greeted by Lily along with the other girls.

I pulled out of James's arms rushing towards them and pulling them each into hugs, "Oh my didn't know you were all coming."

Mel smiled, "Of course we would, think we'd miss your first game?"

"Suppose not. Oh i'm thankful for you all."

We all headed out of the stadium together smiling. If only this feeling lasted forever.
