I own nothing

A/N In this story Severus didn't invent Sectumsempra

(Lily's P.O.V.)

I was sitting by the Black Lake with some of the other Gryffindor girls when my friend Mary noticed a group of laughing students by the big Elm tree.

"Let's go see what happening over there." she said standing up. I stood up too and we walked over to see what had caused the uproar. What I saw made my blood freeze. Severus was face down on the ground in a full body-bind making odd gagging sounds. I broke off from the group and ran to his side falling to my knees as I rolled him on to his back.

"oh Sev." I breathed as I saw the extent of what had been done to him. He had blood poring from his clearly broken nose and pink bubbles coming from his mouth, he was fighting for breath.

"Anapneo." as soon as the word left my lips he started to take deep, hungry breathes.

"Thanks Lily." he said before inhaling deeply once again.

"Oi, Evens," yelled James. "Get out the way!" finished Sirius. I didn't listen to them. Instead I pointed my wand at his nose and muttered "Episkey." he winced as the bone leapt back into place.

"Sorry, Sev. I'm almost done. Tergeo." I began to wipe away the blood with my wand. When his face was clean I released the body-bind and gave him his wand back, as soon as he was on his feet he was pulled up about ten feet in the air by his ankle, his robes falling down around his shoulders. I could see the blood rush to his face as the sound of mocking laughter filled the air.

"Put him down!" I yelled, glaring at Potter.

"Fine." said Potter. The next thing I knew he was on the ground."Sectumsempra." I didn't even have time to register what Black had said before I saw long, bloody gashes suddenly appear all over Severus's body. A scream left my lips as I fell to my knees at his side once again. It didn't take long for me to tell that that he was unconscious.

"Mary!" I called. "Go to the Hospital wing and find Madam Pomfrey, tell her that Severus is bleeding really bad and that he's unconscious."

"Okay" I didn't which her go. I turned my head to Sirius, tears in my eyes.

"What did you do to him?"

"I didn't know that would happen, I saw the spell in a book." his voice was full of panic, not for Severus, but rather for himself. I turned back to Sev, I had to stop the bleeding.

"Ferula" I repeated the spell until all the wounds were covered. I charmed a near by branch in to a stretcher and, with the help of Remus, who had come over to see what was going on a few minuets ago, got Severus on it. James came over to help levitate the stretcher and together we made it to the entrance hall before Mary and Madam Pomfrey found us. I heard her let out a shocked gasp when she saw Sev's body, blood had already soaked though the bandages that I had made.

"Oh my-this is-we must get him to the hospital wing-Hurry." when we got there she got him in to a bed and told us to leave. I could hear her mumble some about having to stop the bleeding. A little while later Dumbledore came down to find out what had happened. He listened with out question as everyone had told what they had seen, before telling Sirius that he would be informed of his punishment by the end of the week. He left a little while later to send an owl to Severus's mother.

By the time Severus was able to receive visitors I was the only one still waiting. I felt tears come to me eyes when I saw him. His whole body was covered in bandages and his skin was paler then I had ever seen it.

"Will he be okay?'' I asked as I looked at him.

"Yes, now that the bleeding has stopped. I used Dittany on the smaller cuts and gave him some Blood-Replenishing Potion and a Pain reliever for when he wakes up, although it will where off in a few hours. Miss Evans, I'm not going to lie to you. If you hadn't cast that Ferula charm on him, he would of died." I looked at her with tears in my eyes.

"I didn't know it was so bad."

"You would make a lovely healer Miss Evans, but right now you should go be with your friend." I did my best to give her a small smile.

"thank you, for everything"

"I'm just doing my job. But you're welcome, Lily." she gave me a small smile before she left me alone with Severus. I walked across the room and pulled the bed-side chare so close to the bed that I had to sit with my legs crossed in front of me. I took his bandaged hand in my own smaller one before pushing his long black hair out of his bruised face with my other hand.

"oh, Sev. I thought I'd lost you." Tears were falling freely down my face. While I was waiting I realized why I was so scared of losing Sev, and wasn't just because we have been best friends for the past seven years, it was because I was in love with him. I promised myself that I wouldn't say anything about this new feeling until I knew how he felt. My hand fell from his face to my lap as I leaned over and rested my head on his chest, closing my eyes as I was comforted by the filmier sound of his steady heartbeat. And before I knew it I had been swept away to the land of dreams.

I hope you like it, tell me what you think!
