After the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch Match
It was a miserable day for a Quidditch match -- overcast and damp, with occasional swirls of snow flurries, and the kind of cold that seems to settle into your bones.
But it was a brilliant match, with the lead trading back and forth a dozen times before Gryffindor finally won 370-230 when Raquel Clayworth caught the Snitch while spinning to avoid a Bludger, and Lily frankly isn't sure how she managed to stay on her broom.
She suspects Thomas Levy will be a bit hoarse tomorrow, after the commentary on that match, and looking around the common room, she suspect he won't be the only one, given that her housemates are still breaking out into cheers.
There's an explosion of red and gold sparks into the air from over near the fireplace and Lily turns to look. She catches Remus Lupin's eye as he does the same thing from the other side of the room, and rolls her eyes slightly. He smiles and goes back to his conversation. The prefects have an unspoken rule at times like this that they only get involved if it looks like someone is going to get hurt.
Lily has been waiting for about a half an hour to catch her roommate Cliona, who is one of the Chasers, but that's never easy after a match, and half the time Lily just has to wait till the party breaks up and they're back in their room. She's just about decided she'll have to wait this time, when the crowd around Cliona breaks up.
Lily crosses the room very quickly. "You were wonderful, Cliona," she tells her friend, with a careful one-armed hug that's meant to make sure neither of them spills their butterbeer.
