James

Everything seemed a blur as people came in and out of the hospital wing.

Broken Wrists.

Sprained ankles.

Spells gone wrong.

But as they were quickly cured and sent on their way, I felt myself envying them, that their problems were far too small to worry about and to come flooding in tears into the hospital wing, especially compared to mine.

"There he is; you alright mate?" I heard the familiar voice of Sirius ask me as footsteps surrounded the empty room.

"Hey James! It's me Peter! Feels like I was only here yesterday! Wait, I was!" Peter snorted with a laugh, before Sirius hit him in the arm and told him to shut up.

I ignored the commotion and stayed still, waiting to be left alone in the peaceful silence I'd gotten used to. When it appeared that they weren't going to leave, I turned to look at the two of them.

"Where's Remus?" I asked, my voice sounding tired and giving away that I was in no mood for visitors.

"He…He couldn't come, had to finish that stupid Potions essay he forgot to do…" I turned back to stare at the ceiling, knowing instantly that this was a lie. No way in hell would Remus have forgotten to do any Potions essay, especially when it had been given to us two weeks ago.

"And Lily?" I muttered, trying not to picture the stunning girl in my head.

"I couldn't find her anywhere, sorry mate. Peter, would you give us a minute?" Sirius asked quietly, sending Peter away before he turned back to me with a pained face.

"Look, the truth is that both of them can't face you. Lily blames herself because she was the one in your body at that point, and Remus…for obvious reasons. Mate, they feel shit and told me that they couldn't see you right now because of it," Sirius whispered to me with a sympathetic smile.

"Forget it Sirius, I don't care," I told him with a sigh, turning my back to him on the bed, "I need to get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning maybe."

Sirius didn't say a word as he got up and headed out of the hospital wing.

"Sirius?" I called out, hearing him stop, "Thanks for coming to see me, it means a lot to me mate…"

"No problem, I'll come back soon." And with that he was gone and I was alone again.

The gash on my leg began to sting painfully, causing me to wince in pain and shut my eyes tightly. I'd be finding out if it was a werewolf bite tomorrow evening when the results from Saint Mungos would be sent.

I heard footsteps from behind me, but I assumed they were Madame Pompfrey's, so I didn't say anything or turn around.

Quickly the steps seemed to fade, having changed direction and left the room.

After what felt like another hour but was most likely minutes which went by- I finally got sick of the loneliness and the pain in my leg which would not go away.

I propped myself up onto my elbows and looked around. There was no one here, I could easily get out if I wanted to. I pulled the sheets off of my body and glanced down at my bandaged leg. It would have to manage.

I slowly managed to get dressed and headed outside of the room. There was only one place where I could think, and I had to get there somehow.

Lily

"Remus, its not your fault, why won't you listen to me? You can't control your actions when you're a werewolf and you shouldn't blame yourself for it. It wasn't your fault that you were bitten," I sighed, looking out the window unto the castle grounds. I had gone to the hospital wing to see James a few minutes before, but I hadn't been able to face it so I'd left before he'd seen me. I couldn't stand to see the hatred he would have for me in his eyes.

"Then why do you blame yourself too?" Remus asked me quietly, causing me to grit my teeth.

"Don't bring me into this, James is your best friend," I told him softly, turning to glance at him. Remus ran both hands through his hair in agitation.

"I'm not so sure if I'm his best friend anymore though…Even if it wasn't my fault, which it is, James would still think it was. He doesn't understand what its like being a werewolf, and I'm not saying its his fault, but he has a very low forgiving rate…" Remus muttered through his fingers.

"I think you're wrong, I'm sure he'll forgive you eventually, he might not even be bitten! You heard Madame Pompfrey; she said we wouldn't have any chance of even guessing until the results came back," I reminded him, turning back to the window and looking out onto the green grounds. I spotted a small shape darting across the grass, running further and further away.

"Strange…" I muttered to myself, straining my eyesight to try and make out the shape further.

"What is it?" Remus asked me, standing up and walking over to the window where I was.

"Looks like a deer," I told him, turning to look at him as he stood beside me, before glancing back at the spot where the deer had been, before disappearing.

"Oh shit," Remus muttered, dashing from the room after glancing out the window. I paused, before quickly following him.

"What is it?" I shouted after him, seeing as he was about a hundred miles in front of me. Boys were so dramatic these days.

"James is an animagus," He told me over his shoulder, sprinting round a corner. How could anyone run so fast and not be out of breath?

"So?" I asked, turning the same corner about an hour after him.

"He turns into a stag when he changes," He explained slowly, as if I was a total moron. Which I was, but still.

"Are you sure that was him? It's not the first time I've seen a deer running through the school grounds," I replied. But I could see Remus shaking his head.

"No, it's definitely him. Oh, where the fuck is Sirius?" He cried in annoyance. As if in answer to his question, Sirius stepped out of a classroom just up ahead, looking extremely disheveled.

"Where have you been all day?" Remus asked him, stopping in front of him. I caught up and began to pant heavily, I really needed to get into shape!

"Not shagging Lucy Jacobs, that's for sure!" He said with a nervous laugh, running a hand through his hair. I raised an eyebrow; clearly he thought we were as thick as him.

"James has run off somewhere," Remus told him, lowering his voice, just before the classroom door Sirius had just exited was opened. Lucy Jacobs stepped outside and froze.

"Oh my God! I mean…Hi! I was just…finishing off some homework…I'll see you guys later!" She beamed awkwardly, side-stepping round us and walking briskly away. I noticed how her hair stuck out in all angles. Wow, maybe Sirius had found a girl as slow as him when it came to excuses.

"Shit, what direction did he go in?" Sirius asked us, tearing his gaze away from the girl walking down the corridor.

"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing he went to the shrieking shack," He told him thoughtfully.

"Right, I'll go check. Are you going to follow?" Sirius replied.

"Yeah, I'll be right behind, you go on and I'll catch up," Remus told him in a whisper as a few students walked round the corner and went past us. I felt slightly excluded from the talk, but at least I knew what was happening.

"Come on Lily, I'll take you back to the common room," Remus smiled at me, putting an arm round my shoulders and leading me in the direction of Gryffindor tower.

"What? I'm coming with you, aren't I? Why are you going anyway? Oh, you can still turn into a werewolf because the full moon night just passed…" I suddenly realized, but there was no way I was going to sit tight and wait for them to come back with Potter while they went off on some big mission and left me on my own.

"Ah, Miss Evans, I was hoping to run into you. I need a word with you on your Thom Fern essay, no need to panic, but it is rather important. Are you free now?" Professor Slughorn shouted down the corridor. I jumped, not even having seen him until now. Gritting my teeth, I turned back to the two boys.

"You're lucky I'm so smart and have to go discuss essays," I told them, turning round and heading off after Slughorn slowly. Let's face it, it wasn't as if the professor was going to break into a run was it?

"We'll see you in the Gryffindor common room later," Sirius shouted after me. I heard their running footsteps as they sprinted in the other direction.

Oh James…

R/R Please! After reading this, Im starting to realize that it is uncontrolably (clearly I can't spell that word) random! But hope you enojoyed it anyway! XOXNoemieXOX
