James's pov
Chapter 11 the elements
The chapter is dedicated to the most wonderful person in the world: Eowyn Grey Just to let you know everyone she rules!
I stared at Ethan it was hard not too. He sat there calm, composed and had a blank face. I remember Sirius's words to clearly…
Well, it is not just used for torture. That makes your, oh what is it called oh yeah! Appendix infect, then you have to get it out! The only way to seal the cut when they go to get the appendix is muggle stitches. The appendix thing hurts but the curse then activates making it like ten times worse…
When will it go off… that is the accruing thought going through my mind since Wednesday. I hope I am there when it goes off, the spell I mean so I can help him. However, what I have gathered from Ethan is that he is quite calm in a crisis. The teacher rambled on about the elements then said he was pairing us up. I perked up hoping to get Ethan, Sirius or Remus, not Peter he was hopeless in these situations.
"…. Mr. Riddle to Mr. Potter…. Mr. Lupin- wait where is he?" My hand shot up. Remus was actually sick today, it was not his 'furry little problem' that is what I call it in public.
"Professor," I told our normal teacher Mr. Bran bird, "Remus is sick," He nodded then said,
"Mr. Black, because your usual partner is not here, you will go with Riddle and Potter." I normally would have been happy, but Ethan's face told me otherwise. I think he might be a little, no not afraid but upset Sirius is with us. I would if someone cursed me as he did.
Sirius grinned with an evil spark in his eyes. I knew there would be trouble, especially with people he did not like. Lets just say Sirius + Ethan major Trouble. He and Ethan moved to the other side of me.
As the teacher got the rest of the people paired, I watched Sirius glare at Ethan to an unusual extent but Ethan kept to his book. Book, that is it start a conversation.
"So, Ethan what are you reading?" I asked with a slight interest. He looked up from the book and grinned slightly.
"Hogwarts a history, Lily told me it was a great book." I blinked; I forgot Lily talked to him. Just as Sirius was to say something to Ethan, the teacher had finished pairing us up and placed four tins on everyone's desk.
"As you see, there are four tins. One has a piece of wood in it for fire; another has a fan for Wind, water in one, and the last soil for Earth. We will be testing to see if any of you are elementals. If you are you will receive training when older." The teacher nodded for us to begin. I sighed and looked at Ethan who asked,
"Who wants to go first?"
Ethan/ Harry's pov
(Have not had it in a while!)
As those words left my mouth, I knew James would want to go first. He seemed to be acting odd around me since Wednesday…
"Hey James!" I said as I fight through the crowds. He seemed to have a blank look on his face, which scared me all too much. He normally was full of excitement. He attempted a weak smile as I dragged him to the Great hall. I was not too hungry but I knew James was usually looking for food, like Ron.
I plopped down cheerfully, but James sat down with a frown. He did not grab as much as he normally did but nagged me to eat more.
"Ethan you should-," But I cut him off with a mock madness.
"Seriously! James you are like a mother hen!"
For the rest of the day he seemed to be watching me more than often. I felt slightly unnerved as he did this. Once I caught him at the library looking up appendix symptoms, which made me, wonder what was going on between Sirius and James.
"Yahoo, Riddle anything in there oh wait there is nothing!" Sirius's short bark like laughter made me jolt out of my thoughts. I blinked as James was about to scold Sirius.
"Huh, did any of you go?" I asked. James shook his head as a no.
"Go ahead," James blinked and said,
"Do you not know that it takes years to make your element to respond?" I blinked and shook my head. I knew James would be good at this. I supposedly had the power of the entire elements so why would he have any.
"Here let me help," I decided that I would slowly bring his power out by a trance state.
"Okay what are we doing first?" James pointed to the wood on the desk. Ohh how stupid am I! I breathed deeply but not too deeply, my stomach has been aching, as if a sharp knife has been slowly placing its way into my stomach.
"Stare at the wood," I whisper to James. He stares at the wood. I could see from the corner of my eye Sirius making faces.
"Feel the heat, remember the burn of the fire," I say, I feel my powers slowly rising but I held them down. Suddenly the wood caught fire (but it was only a spark or two). Sirius jumped back but I grinned. James breathed out and the fire/sparks blew out.
The same procedure for the other three elements. No other results, Sirius hadn't any effect on the elements. Now that it was my turn, Sirius started bragging and whining about me mot having much power.
I closed my eyes breathed in but as I went to breath, in a little deeper a sudden pain in my stomach made me breath out. I opened my eyes to stare at the wood. I turned to my thoughts to fire.
'Let is burn in your mind, the heat wash over you, bring a spark-,' I felt my powers rise from me and the wood caught fire, but not a little spark like James had gotten but the wood was burning away. I heard Sirius stop bragging to the girls about his fake results; James had gasped. How to turn it off hmmm.
'Slowly come off its kindle, let the wind,' I imagined wind sweeping the fire. A gigantic breeze hit the classroom, making my fire go out like a light. The teacher, who was as oblivious as Lockhart, glanced up and said quite dumbly,
"Who opened the window?" I snorted. I told the wind (quite dumbly I might like to add,) to slowly calm down and to my surprise it did. As I was going to water, the bell rang.
"Okay class, homework is a four foot essay on the elements and how to control them!" the teacher shouted from his chair. I slipped out of the room. I went to turn to see if James was near, my stomach gave a sharp pain which left me almost breathless.
'Must have been something I eat… maybe!"
I thought as I plopped down at the Great hall's tables for lunch. However, I was not hungry. The hungriness was just slipping away and nausea was rising.
I sighed and got out Hogwarts a History that would calm me. Just as I opened the book, the people from every house came rushing in for food. It rather looked like a stamped.
The noise level bothered me to much; I needed somewhere quiet. However, where, oh wait the lake!
James was talking to Sirius and Remus as Peter shoved food in his mouth. I shuddered at the thought of having any girl look at him. I moved into the shadows of the corridors; then as I walked I realized the shadow element was calling to me. I ignored it.
I shifted my bag as I sat down at the lake. Its beautiful water shimmered, making the water clearer. I searched my bag for headphones; then I noticed they were attached to a headset… oh the possibilities.
I set the headphones on and turned on the headset. Music blasted against my ears, the song was Here without you by 3 doors down. I remember Dudley used to like this C.d. before it became 'old'.
A hundred days had made me
older, A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look
at this the same…
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face….
I hummed the song as I picked my
book out of my bag. I felt like singing but when I was younger, my
aunt always told me I had a bad voice; but hey, she was usually wrong
about me.
"But
all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming
of your face,"
I sang quietly, my voice sounded
good to me. I grinned as I picked up my page. I sang a few more bars
with a smile, "I'm here without you baby
but
your still on my lonely mind.
I think about you baby
and I
dream about you all the time.
I'm here without you baby
but
your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and
me."
The song stuck in my mind as I
listened to it. I knew immediately that I should recommend this for
the dance.
The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is
overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go
I closed the book and laid on my
back, my headset on my stomach. I'm here without you
baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you
baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
it's only you and me
Images of my parents came to me
as I laid there. Their happy faces, my mother's beautiful face; I
moaned with a sense of happiness but a loneliness. Everything
I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won't take
away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it's all
said and done
it get hard but it won't take away my love.
I'm here without
you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you
baby
and I dream about you all the time
"I'm here without
you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
it's only you and me"
"Hey James," I went to sit up but a pain in my lower side made me gasp and sit back. The pain hit again in my lower side; I held my side. I heard James say,
"Ethan? Ethan are you alright," I groaned softly and gave him the look that clearly said, do you think I am? James grimaced and helped me sit up, the whole way my stomach almost bursting with pain. I sat up holding my stomach in pain. It felt like the crutacious curse, but just centered into my stomach. I gripped my side hoping it would go away but it did not. My eyes, which had been held tight in pain, were opened and directed at James. I managed to gasp out,
"James help…" but I did not finish my sentence when another wave of pain hit me. James, who looked panicked, looked at me then the castle. He must have been thinking how far it was from here. Suddenly a voice rang out,
"Potter Whats, Ethan are you-," Lily, I could have kissed her. Nevertheless, it would be wrong on SO many levels. James ran up to her; he was explaining but I couldn't think of it or hear it, all I could think about was my pain. Lily must have run to the castle because that's all I heard before I passed out.
Location: Waiting room
Time: 3:00
James's pov
I have been waiting for an hour for Madam Phomprey to come and tell me,
'It's alright James' or 'He's fine'. However, I have not seen her since Lily and I had gotten Ethan to the hospital wing. The look of pain on his face would have made Voldemort not want to torture him anymore. I hope Ethan is all right.
The damn clock kept ticking for what seemed forever; I just wanted to smash it. I glared at it with such a look I hope it crackes. Then as I was thinking up ways to kill the clock, Lily's voice rang out.
"Po- James why are you glaring at that poor clock?" I hardly noticed she called me James.
"Because it just keeps ticking," Lily stifled a giggle. I went to mover Ethan's bag when a muffled noise made me glance at it. Lily looked up curiously. I opened the bag to see some kind of player. It stared playing some kind of song.
I can't stand to fly I'm more than a
bird...i'm more than a plane Wish that I could cry It may sound absurd...but don't be naive Up, up and away...away from me I
can't stand to fly I'm only a man in
a silly red sheet I'm only a man I'm only a
man Its not easy to be me
I'm not that naive
I'm
just out to find
The better part of me
More than some pretty face beside a
train
It's not easy to be me
Fall
upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never
see
Even heroes
have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you
concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to
be me
It's all right...you
can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant
to ride
With clouds between their knees
Digging for kryptonite on this one way
street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special
things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside
me
Inside of me
In a funny red
sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream
In a funny red sheet
And it's not easy, hmmm, hmmm,
hmmm...
The song reminded me of Ethan. All the way, I mean he was this song. Lily looked amazed at the song. As the song finished its last word Madam Phomprey came out; her robes were stained with blood. I almost gave up my lunch at the sight. She saw us staring and glanced down too. She gave us a sheepish look,
"I should have changed huh?" We sighed and I just had to ask,
"How is Ethan?" She smiled at my question.
"He will be fine, but for some reason I had to give him stitches." I nodded and Lily just stared.
"Can we go in?" Lily's voice was so soft that I almost did not hear it. Madam Phomphrey shook her head.
"I am sorry he can not have visitors. He's to tired for that." I nodded and Lily and I walked out of the waiting room with grim faces.
Location: Gryffindors common room
Time: 12:00
How to kill the clock in the Hospital waiting room.
Take it off the wall and stomp on it
Slowly take off the hands of the clock
Curse it with wrong time
Then someone else will kill it
Make it sing evil song then it will die
Send it to Voldemort.
That was the title of my essay for Potions. It was supposed to be for an herb but I gave up on that a half an hour ago. I glanced at Lily, who was having equally hard time with our homework. We both had one thing on our minds. Ethan.
I sighed and placed my 'essay' in my bag. It was no use. As I shuffled with the other essays, I noticed my invisibility clock. Bingo! Lily and I could sneak under it. However, she did not know. Well it is time she learned.
"Lily? Want to go visit Ethan?" Lily's head shot up then she snapped at me,
"We will get caught!" I smiled and too out my clock.
"You forget who you're talking to,' Lily smiled.
As we slowly walked to the hospital wing, Lily asked me question about the clock. I answered for each one the same response,
"No comment,"
As we reached the doors, I heard Ethan's soft breathing. Lily smiled as she first caught sight of him. I did not want to wake him just see him. He lay there, shirtless, the moon hitting just right. I saw the long stitches in his side and I winced.
Lily took off her side of the clock and sat next to Ethan. She seemed to have a motherly protection on him. She stroked his hair and murmured things in his ear. I just smiled. It seemed so right for her to be a mother. I heard a noise and whispered to Lily urgently,
"Come on Lily!" We put the clock on and ran out of there.
In the common room, Lily collected her homework. I smiled and said goodnight. She smiled but before she went upstairs to her dormitory, she gave me a kiss in the cheek.
"Thanks for letting me come," She glided up the stairs and then disappeared around the bend. I glanced at my 'potions essay' that would wait for tomorrow. I felt my check; it was still wet. This was the best day of my life!
