GOODBYE ISNT FOREVER
" Now dear , you can see him for 5 minutes but try not to disturb him " whispered Madame Pomfrey in a concerned tone since Lily looked like she was about to burst in tears as soon as she was left alone . Lily could just nod , glad that she was finally alone with James , without the Marauders or any of his female fans pretending to be concerned for James . She took a seat next to his bed and just stared at him in silence for a few minutes . He looks like an innocent child when he's sleeping and not thinking about new strategies to prank the Slytherins she thought with a bittersweet smile . She got up and went to stand near the window as if she couldn't bear to see James lying in the hospital wing , unconscious . Laughter from the grounds brought her out of her thoughts . Now that the exams were over , students were enjoying their time with each other before they went home for the holidays . Even she would be outside along with James , her boyfriend , enjoying their last day in Hogwarts before they went out in the real world , had it not been for an unfortunate event . She closed her eyes thinking about the all the occurances in the past week .
Flashback
" James ? " a whisper that was bearly audible reached James Potter which broke him from the blond who was practically clinging on him . The empty classroom with only its three occupants was filled with an awkward silence only broken by Lily's deep breaths trying to calm himself . " Li-Lily? " James managed to stutter whereas Lily was still too shocked to speak out . " I will see you later James darling " Pamela said with a sexy voice which only made Lily more angry and James more nervous . The moment she left the classroom James took a step towards Lily " Lily …. I can explain … " but was interrupted by the bang of the door through which Lily had left the classroom .
Lily ran as fast as she could , knowing that James was not so far behind her .
As soon as she reached the common room , James caught hold of her hand and held on firmly since she was struggling to get her hand free .
" Lily , I can explain …. " " EXPLAIN ? Whats there to explain ? I saw you kissing Pamela and it looked like you would have continued if I hadn't interrupted . " screamed Lily causing everyone in the common room to turn towards them and watch in silence .
" Pl..Please try to understand , Lily " stuttered James " Understand ? There's nothing to understand James . Its very simple . You cheated on me . AGAIN! And with the same person . Last time you said that Pamela started it and you got carried away . But I don't think your so skinny that anyone can just jump over you and start kissing you while you cant even push the person away . " by now everyone in the common room was staring at them but the seemed completely oblivious .
Before James could even open his mouth , Lily shoved his hand which was still holding her arm and said "Don't you ever come near me again Potter or else I till hex you till next week " even though it was said in a whisper just for James to hear , it echoed through the silent common room , allowing everyone present there to be able to hear it . Lily stormed off to the girls dorm having said what she wanted but leaving behind a desperate James and astounded Griffindors .
End flashback
That was the last time she saw James and now , here she was , with James lying in the hospital wing . This was not exactly how I planned to pass my last day in Hogwarts , Lily thought sadly . She wanted to pass her last days in Hogwarts with James , talking with him , playing pranks on her friends and the Marauders , but it seemed as if destiny was not on her side . Now everyone in the whole school thought that Lily had hexed James because he cheated on her . Even the marauders and her friends didn't trust her . This only convinced her that she didn't need friends who would trust everyone else but her .
She took a deep breath and stopped the tears , which were there with her since James ended up in the hospital wing , from streaming down . She regained her compusure and went near James bed to finish what she came
for . She kept the letter on James side table and gave a last kiss on his forehead . "Goodbye James " she whispered with trembling leps and left the hospital wing , her last hope being that she would never have to see a Potter again .
