The rest of Christmas was surprisingly boring compared to our Christmas Eve and morning. The Redheads, including me, won the WizardHunt game and Molly pulled one out the bag for Christmas dinner once again.

It wasn't long until we were all huddled up in a compartment on our way back to Hogwarts for the next term of classes. "Snape's hanging round with Malfoy," Sirius commented as he joined us after a wander, my gaze snapped up to him and he smirked. "What do you think?"

"I think you should leave him alone," Lily suggested making us all turn to her, she pouted at me hopefully but I shrugged and got up, heading out of the compartment and following Sirius towards the Slytherins.

"Dad attached five second delays to my Dungbombs," I grinned proudly as we headed towards the compartment. "So what we're gonna do right, is you're gonna push me and make me stumble into their compartment and I'll drop a load of them!"

"Perfect," he smirked widely, "That one."

I nodded and shoved him slightly with a laugh making him catch on, as we passed their compartment he gave me a good shove and I stumbled into it, falling through the open door. "Oops," I giggled as he grinned down at me from the doorway, we were completely ignoring the Slytherins and I slipped some of the Dungbombs out of my pocket before letting him pull me out of the compartment and we walked away.

Just as we were about to go into our compartment down the train, a loud scream sounded and the Slytherins rushed into the hallway shouting, swearing and throwing curses towards us. Pushing Sirius into the compartment, I flipped them the birdie and slipping in after him with a broad grin. "Awesome!" Sirius yelled as we high fived and slumped back into our seats, James pouted at me and I arched an eyebrow.

"You went without me," he accused sadly, "I went the bathroom and you went to prank people without me?"

"Sorry babes," I pouted back and batted my eyelashes, "We'll prank without Sirius next time, I promise."

"Hey!" Sirius yelled in offence as James smirked at me.

"Sounds good," he nodded and I grinned before pressing a kiss to his cheek/side of his mouth.

"Welcome to the final match of the season!" Dedalus Diggle announced as we waited to go onto the pitch. "Gryffindor are only four points ahead of Slytherin in the running for the Cup. Let me introduce you to the Gryffindor team: Weasley, Prewitt, Prewitt, Longbottom, Potter, Black aaaaaannnndddd Lupin!" We flew out as one and the Gryffindor supporters cheered.

"And here come the Slytherins: Rosier, Black, Lestrange, Lestrange, Carrow, Carrow aaaaaannnndddd Malfoy!" The Slytherins cheered, but it was almost drowned out by the booing coming from the other three Hogwarts Houses. "The Quaffle is released, and the game begins!"

I darted out of the way as Frank caught the Quaffle and darted past me, sending a wink in my direction as he did. The game went like most Gryffindor/Slytherin ones... violently. As my gaze landed on the Snitch, I spun my broom around and took off after it, Malfoy close behind me.

We had the same brooms, so we were pretty evenly matched on that level but I let a small smirk cross my face still. It was time to show him who the better flyer was. The Snitch darted up, high into the sky and the two of us followed suit. I dodged Rosier, a Bludger, both Carrows and the barrel rolled under another Bludger before the Snitch quickly changed direction and darted down to the pitch again.

Spinning my broom around I followed it quickly, before Malfoy had even noticed the Snitch had changed direction. Down, down, down, down... we were only a few feet from the grassy pitch and Malfoy and I were neck and neck again. Sending him a small smirk, I noticed his eyes widen before he chickened out and pulled up... a split second later I did the same but I pulled up only enough so that I was skimming the pitch with my toes, my hand stretched out.

WHAM! I yelped in pain as a Bludger slammed into my arm, but I just gritted my teeth and swapped hands, my left hand now stretched out... my fingers curled around the little golden ball before I let out a victorious whoop and rolled off my broom with my fist in the air.

"Isabelle Lupin has caught the Snitch!" Dedalus announced, "Gryffindor win the match and the Quidditch Cup!"

Cheers erupted from the stands as I sat myself up and grinned widely as my team landed around me before they glomped me in a team hug. "Ow, ow, ow, ow!" I yelped as my arm was squashed between me and Gideon.

"You did your arm in again, didn't you?" he chuckled as he helped me up off the floor. I smiled sheepishly and nodded. "You won the match single handed!"

"Aww, babes, that was just a bad attempt," I shook my head with an amused smirk, the team chuckled before we moved to the centre of the pitch to accept the Cup from Dumbledore once again. James and Sirius each grabbed a hold of me and hauled me on to their shoulders as the Cup was handed to me. I lifted it above my head and grinned widely as McGonagall took our picture for the trophy case.

"Gryffindor's own Undefeated, Quidditch Team!" she announced to the crowd causing an uproar of cheers from the rest of our house.
