Ok so beginning of a story, it's a little bit sketchy sorry, but I hope you like it! I just want to take a second to thank SecretlyAGriffyndor for all the help and inspiration she gave me!

Lily Evans tapped her pencil impatiently on the desk in front of her, working out the constant stress in her brain. She hated times like this. She didn't know what caused them, weather or not they we're natural, expected, harmless. Though, she thought with her eyes squeezed shut, it's hard to believe something this painful can be harmless. Every noise in the room seemed to be magnified and expanded until it was a roaring sound of pain. Her fingers shook and her head grew hot while her toes lost all warmth. Her Hogwarts uniform laid uncomfortable and heavy on her sweaty skin. Lily's breathe quickened. She felt as though she was going to throw up as a mysterious force in her head hammered on her brain like a woodpecker to a tree.

"Lily?"

A comforting voice sliced though the classroom ruckus and calmed lily's blood pressure. She cranked her eyes open, past the searing headache and into caramel colored eyes. Lily smiled a little at her best friend Gemma Collins. Gemma was beautiful: she was petite, with a small face, pretty eyes, and Blonde corkscrew curls that bounced with the same energy she had whenever she walked. She was just as beautiful on the inside as out, Gemma was one of those people who was only happy when her best friend was happy, and currently, her best friend wasn't.

"Lily, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just a little headache" Lily squared her shoulders and opened up her History of Magic book on the table.

"Of course, just a' little headache' that is getting worse and worse and more and more frequent."

Dang it, Lily thought, Gemma didn't miss a thing.

"I'm fine"

"Bull crap"

"Really"

"I don't believe you."

That's because it's not true, Lily thought. Something was wrong, She didn't know what, but something was wrong. Lily sighed, admitting defeat. She leaned forward and held up her face in her hands. Gemma slid her chair closer and rubbed her best friends back.

"It's ok Lily, It's ok" Gemmas' voice was like a fire in a winter blizzard, comforting and always welcome. Lily took a deep breath and slid her eyes out of her hands. Blowing air through her fingers. Her eyes were red and her face was wet, Lily hardly ever cried.

"We'll go to the hospital wing after class, it'll be ok"

Lily's face snapped up at that, her hands falling to hit the table. Her steadied heartbeat hitched up again.

"No, no. I'll be fine. Really it'll pass"

Gemma couldn't believe what came out of Lily's lips. She obviously was not fine. Lily saw her indignate expression and quickly explained.

"They pass, they always do, and besides we have homework, and a life, and you have Quidditch practice and." She ran out of reasons and Gemma wasn't paying attention to her anyways. Although Gemma was the best friend you could ask for, sometimes she could be a pain in the ass.

"We'll go during study, you know Professor Highler will let us do whatever we want. And next time your coming up with excuses, don't use homework, as we both know you have it done." She smiled smugly and Lily gave a sarcastic smile in return, which hurt her head, causing her to close her eyes, slam her lips together, and put her face in her hands.

" Hey Gem, Mom wants to know if your coming straight over to our- Lily, Good Lord, are you alright?"

Crap, James' voice. Gemma and James were cousins, their mom being sisters, and because of that, Gemma was spending a part of the winter holiday at James house. Lily wished that she could just ignore him but she knew that with his Potter stubbornness, it would be best to get it out of the way.. Trying to maintain whatever diginity she still had, Lily raised her head, opened her eyes as her head screamed in protest and nodded.

"yes-" A wave of nausea crashed down on her and she trapped her eyes and mouth shut. Her body pitched forward as she held the sheer pain of it in. The color drained out of her face and she waited for several seconds before the attack collapsed, and she darned to open her mouth again.

"yes. I'm fine" the moment the words were out she realized how much worse it made the situation look. Before she could say anything to fix it, another wave of agony broke down. Desperate tears streaked down her face with the sheer force of holding that sea of pain in. Lily didn't know how but her head ended up on the table, body trembling, heart pounding, tears running, and helplessness creeping up to conquer her .

"Oh yeah," Gemma said. "We're going to the hospital wing"
