Disclaimer: don't own noffin Harry Potter related... all I own is my amazing plot... heh... xD
The
next morning Lily simply lied in bed snuggling her pillow. She had
grabbed her wand and fixed her ankle so that now only the bruises
hurt. Every once in a while, her eyes would jolt open as she would
feel watched, then she would nervously look around and to her window
to see that no one was there.
You're getting jumpy, she told
herself.
Meanwhile, James, Sirius and Remus sat downstairs in
the kitchen. Remus looked weary as he always did when the full moon
came around. Sirius stretched and leaned back in his chair.
"Do
you think Lils is up to casting those charms? We need them tonight,"
he pointed out.
"I know Sirius... I know," Remus rubbed
his temples.
"I'll go see if she's awake," James
suggested, lifting himself out of his chair and heading up to Lily's
room.
He
walked in to find Lily sitting up in bed, looking slightly
frightened. She jumped when she saw him and he could tell she seemed
kind of pale. He gave her a questioning look and walked over and sat
beside her.
"Merlins beard James... can't you knock?"
Lily asked wearily.
"Sorry... I didn't realize I would
frighten you..." James tilted his head to the side, "Lily...
you don't look well... what's wrong?"
She looked at him for a
moment and sighed, "James?"
"Yes Lily?"
"I'm
sorry."
"For what?"
"For not telling you
earlier..."
"Telling me what?"
"I..."
"OH GOD! You're with Sirius, arn't you! I knew it! Damn him
and his charm!"
"JAMES!"
"Sorry Lils...
I'll be serious."
"But you just sounded mad at him..."
"No! Not SIRIUS... SERIOUS! You know, s-e-r-i-o-u-s?"
"Oh
right..."
"So what's wrong?"
James
walked back into the kitchen looking thoughtful and slightly
worried.
"Will she do the charms?" Sirius asked as Remus
looked up from where he had laid his head on the table.
"Yeah...
she will..." James nodded.
"Then what's the matter mate?
You look like someone just dropped a dungbomb in your trunk,"
Sirius asked.
"Well... Lily told me something odd..."
James said, sitting at the table and ignoring his friend's joke
completely, "She said... when she tripped, it was because
someone had grabbed her ankle."
"But James," Remus
pointed out, "We're alone out here... she couldn't hav--"
"A
Death Eater, Remus..." James cut him off, "She said it was
a Death Eater."
Silence engulfed the kitchen, leaving the
three friends to look at eahother.
"A... Death Eater? Is she
sure?" Sirius asked.
"She's really spooked, and you know
Lils, she isn't spooked by much. I can see she isn't lying,"
James assured him.
"Well... we'll have to find out when she
comes down later," Remus yawned, "I'm gunna take a nap
before the moon comes out. See you later."
"We'll wake
you up if you arn't up before then, okay Moony?" Sirius
smiled.
"Of course Padfoot... later."
James looked at
Sirius as Remus walked out.
"What's this vacation gunna end
up like?" he mused, "It doesn't seem like it's going to be
as peaceful as I had hoped..."
"Thats for sure mate, but
don't worry, you've got me to cuddle if Lily goes loony."
"Sod
off Padfoot."
"Love you Prongs."
"Pfft."
"Did
you just 'pfft' me?!"
"No."
"Oh... alright
then."
