Chapter 12: Grass
-Miss Evans. Finally.- said Madame Pomfrey –How are you feeling?-
Lily focused her eyes and saw the figure of Madame Pomfrey close to her bed.
-What happened?- ask Lily numbly
-Apparently some kind of magic was swallowing yours.- said Madame Pomfrey while handing her a potion –Drink this my dear.-
-How long have I been here?-
-Four days. But don´t worry you were dismissed from all your classes and your friends have been helping you. They come here daily before dinner. And that Potter boy comes in each class change he must be getting late everywhere. He would rather stay but he wasn´t allowed to miss class and I want him to let you rest but, still he takes all his meals here and spend all his time here, I think he bothers as much as if he was staying here. We had to bewitch him to make him take the potion the day you both came.-
-Good morning Madame Pomfrey, Miss Evans how are you feeling?- asked Dumbledore while he entered the room
-Good Morning Dumbledore.- said Madame Pomfrey –You´re lucky Miss Evans has just wake up.-
-Good morning.- said Lily weakly
-But she will still feel weak.- commented the nurse
-Thank you.- said Dumbledore kindly while Madame Pomfrey left-Now Miss Evans do you remember what happened?-
Lily nodded –Yes but why do that happened?-
-Oh. Well as you are muggle born you should know about the Pandora box story and as you are one of the only students that pay attention in History of Magic you will understand if I tell you that Mr. Black found the bags.-
Lily looked surprised for moment. –But what happened to me?-
Dumbledore´s eyes twinkle and he smiled –Ah. Fabulous thing you achieved Miss Evans, I see you have been studying my selection of books. You performed and excellent water charm and a very difficult one, since you summoned the very essence, you must know that only very powerful wizards can do that. Unfortunately the bag recognised that, and tried to swallow that wonderful magic you posses. You must know that many wizards would have died or at least lose their magic.-
-Do I lost it!- exclaimed Lily worried
-No.- said Dumbledore smiling –Some wizards have magic and others produce it as they live. Professor Flickwick is very amazed, after this you will have the power to perform wonderful things, specially charms.-
They stood in silence.
-Am I the only one that produces magic?-
-No, but you're one of the few who founds the origin of it, and controls it. Now that you are well informed Mr. Potter you can come to see how is Miss Evans.-
Lily turned around but didn´t saw anyone. Suddenly James appeared near her.
The cloak.
-Sorry Professor.- said James nervously
-Magnificent cloak you have Mr. Potter, perhaps you can lend me it some time to inspect it?- said Dumbledore smiling
-Of course.- said James a little confused
-I'm sure you heard quite a lot right?- asked Dumbledore, James nodded ashamed –Well do you have any doubts?-
James hesitated. –Do I have the same powers?-
Dumbledore smiled again –Yes, Mr. Potter not quite the transformation as Miss Evans but you were too affected. Perhaps you should practice together every now and then your new strength?-
-Cool.- said James
-Yes.- said Lily excited for her news
-Now I will leave you alone.- said Dumbledore leaving
James stared at Lily.
-What?- ask Lily getting nervous
James approached and hugged her. Lily stood still. Finally James let her go.
-I´m so sorry.- said James
Lily notices something in his clothes. She looked at James and noticed some grass growing in James's clothes.
-What's that?- she said pointing to it
James looked confuse until she reached his clothes and touched it.-Oh. I was in charms, we are still in growing charms, I wanted to see you and kind of have an accident so Flickwick send me here.-
-You charmed yourself on purpose?- asked Lily smiling
-Course.- said James trying to stop the growing grass
She touch it again and the grass vanished
-Cool.- said James
Even Lily was impressed.
They stood in silence. James sat himself in her bed.
-Madame Pomfrey says you are getting late to class a lot.-
James blushed and looked at the floor. –Yes, but that´s not new. I never got in time.-
Lily looked at him. –Thanks.-
They stood silent again.
-Do you feel fine?- asked James
-Yes, I feel better now that I know I´m a super wizard.- said Lily laughing
Suddenly a group of people entered the room.
-Lily!- cried Anne
Lori, Isa and Anne entered, and started hugging her friend.
-Dumbledore told us you woke, and give us permission to come.- said Isa
-We were so worried!- exclaimed Lori
They started chatting about everything that happened. James just slipped away before the girls noticed him.
-You should have seen how crazy he was yelling at the teachers. McGonagall had to bewitch him to make him take the potion. And then he came daily at all hours, during meals, between classes, even when we came he was here, he only moved to a chair and leave us room.- said Lori
-Yes, Potter isn´t talking to any of the Marauders, he is too mad.- said Isa
-But what happened?- asked Anne
Lily was very impressed about what her friends told her, but her friends were even more impressed of what she told them. So they spent the rest of the day talking, until Madame Pomfrey told them to go as Lily needed rest.
