Chapter 1
Patrols, the only time I can think by myself, without being pestered. It's maybe half-an-hour past curfew so there aren't too many people around, mainly students trying to get back to their common room without being caught, but so far tonight I caught seven couples snogging in broom cupboards.
By the way my name is Lily Evans, it's the last term and well the last week of my 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and I am a Gryffindor prefect. I wouldn't call myself overly attractive but I can look pretty when I want to, I have dark red hair and green eyes, not that I want to very often, I would rather spend my time reading than doing my hair and make-up.
As I turn the corner and I see Snape standing there smiling at someone lying on the floor, the person on the floor seems to have passed out. "Severus Snape, what are you doing out of bed at this time of night?" I say forcefully.
"Just teaching, Lily." He answered, keeping that aggravating smirk on his face.
"Teaching what exactly?" I say cautiously, looking at the person on the ground.
"How not to be a 'toerag' as you would so nicely put it" he joked, still not removing the smile.
"Go to bed. Now. Oh, and 20 points from slytherin for being out of bed and cursing students." That made the smirk falter but only for a moment. Smile returning when his eyes flicked toward the unconscious figure, he turned in the direction of the dungeons and walked off. I slowly approach the person on the floor and gasp. It's Potter. Only he didn't look normal, his glasses were astray and cracked, his hair even messier than normal and it looked like he had damp cheeks as if he had been crying?
"Potter?" I say nervously he hasn't moved since I got here. "James?" still no response. Pulling out my wand I used the Featherweight charm on him, I stow my wand away in my robe pocket and lift the massive boy up into my arms. Staggering through the halls despite the charm, I didn't realize til then just how tall he is. I finally arriving at the hospital wing I yell for the nurse whilst I put James on a nearby bed.
Madame Pomfrey came hurrying out of her office/bedroom still in her night clothes and up to the bed I was standing next to. See took one look at Potter and turned on me.
"Miss Evans what hex did you use on him this time?" She said disapproval dripping in her tone.
"Hey, it wasn't me, I was on patrol and came across Potter on the floor passed out with Snape standing over him smiling." I defended, pouting a little at the woman's assumption.
"Did you say when you found him he was already unconscious?" She asked somewhat startled.
"Yeah, why does that matter?" I say confused.
The middle aged lady started muttering to herself, but I was listening closely and I swear I heard her say "That shouldn't be possible, no normal hex would even knock him out then alone for this long" Why wouldn't a normal hex knock him out? It's not like he's immortal. "Miss Evans kindly fetch Professor Dumbledore, come on hurry!" She said startling me out of my thoughts.
"Yes. Of course" I quickly exited heading up to the headmaster's office. When I reach the gargoyle there I say the password "Sour Plums" and walk through as it jumps out of the way, up the staircase. When I reach the large doors I hesitate for a moment then knock.
"Enter." I hear a deep voice say. Pushing one of the doors open I walk into the enormous study, where Dumbledore is sitting behind his desk fully dressed in his lavender robes. "Miss Evans, to what do I owe this late night meeting?"
Without hesitation I begin "It's Po- um James Potter Sir, he is in the hospital wing." I see his eyes flick to a calendar on the wall showing the cycles of the moon. "It's nothing to do with Remus Professor."
He looks at me with surprise for a second which turns to amusement "I see you figured out Mr Lupins, as the Marauders put it 'Fury problem'." Great. Even Dumbledore called them by their stupid nickname.
"Yes Sir, But Professor not to be rude but Madame Pomfrey asked me to bring you to the hospital wing."
"Very well, wouldn't want to keep Poppy waiting would we."
"No Sir."
The instant we walked through the door Madame Pomfrey started talking to Dumbledore, saying the same things she was muttering before, "It shouldn't be possible, no normal hex, the potion should have stopped, why didn't it work?"
"Poppy, calm down my dear lady, Miss Evans my guess is that you know what happened here."
"Sort of, I found Potter like this with Snape standing over him." I recounted.
"Do you know what hex was fired?"
"No Sir"
"Very well, your patrols have finished, you may go to bed."
"Thank you Sir, um is it possible to get word when he wakes up?"
"Of course, Poppy will send for you the moment Mr Potter has awoken."
I nod and turn to leave when Dumbledore says "And Lily could I please see you in my office tomorrow morning please?"
"Yes Sir, Good night" They both nod in farewell and I head back to my dorm wondering what the headmaster could possibly want to tell me.
