Disclaimer - I pronounced J.K. Rowling's name wrong since I was, like, four. Do I sound like I own Harry Potter, considering I can't even pronounce the name OF THE AUTHOR?!?!

Author's Note -Okay, I hope you all enjoyed having Sirius' POV but that's over now and I'm back to my third person writing, it is much easier, in my opinion.

May 27, 1977

She looked at me solemnly, "He promised this wouldn't happen."

Two days later, James had still not woken up, just moved around a couple times with murmured words that no one understood.

Lily hadn't left his side since she found out what had happened, Madame Pomfrey even let her stay through her classes today.

The young healer had seen the way Lily looked at James and wasn't stupid, she wasn't going to make her go to classes where she wouldn't be paying attention, just wondering what was happening back in the Hospital Wing.

She had also let Sirius and Remus stay, but Peter had mumbled something about not wanting to have to make up work before scurrying out that morning.

Lily was looking worse for wear, barely having slept at all during the nights, opting to just stare at James and will him to wake up. So far, it wasn't working so well.

Lily, Sirius, and Remus all believed it to be their own fault that James was hurt.

Lily because he hadn't listened to her warnings and wished she had been more persistant.

Sirius because it was when he was looking for Peter that Remus snapped.

Remus because he thought that he should have been able to control himself, even though it was obvious that he had no choice.

They all supposed that Peter must have felt a little bit guilty, as Sirius couldn't help James because Peter got lost, but no one really knew what that boy thought. Not that anyone would want to.

Whenever James moved, Lily got excited and Remus and Sirius always seemed to be awake when it happened.

Lily was staring at James, like she had been all day, when he moved again.

"I don't want to give my platypus a bologna sandwich!" he mumbled, and Lily just sighed, as though she actually expected him to wake up this time.

It was only hours later that James' eyelids fluttered open and Lily screamed with shock, sending both Sirius and Remus falling out of their chairs in surprise.

James ran his hand through his hair (which Sirius had turned back to normal because he was feeling so guilty) and yawned. "Wasgoinon?" he mumbled sleepily.

"You're awake." Sirius said, dumbfounded.

"Uh, yeah, I s'pose so."

Lily was still staring at him with a look of shock on her face.

When James noticed her, he smiled cheekily and said, "Well, hullo there, Lily. Whatcha doin' sittin' by my deathbed?"

Lily could only mumble something indistinct.

Remus yelled for Madame Pomfrey after recovering from the shock of James waking up.

While the nurse was attending to James, a thought occured to Lily. She gestured for Sirius to come over to where she was sitting.

"Is he going to be a Werewolf now?" Lily whispered.

He shook his head, "Nope, the bite only effects humans, not humans in Animagus form. Madame Pomfrey will know, but she never asks questions. She thinks if she does, no one will come here because they're scared of being ratted out. Which is probably true."

"Okay. I was just wondering. Not that it matters, but, you know--"

Sirius held up a hand to stop her rambling, "I get what you mean." He let a small smile show on his face, "You care about our little Jamesies!"

"What? No! Huh?"

Sirius just shook his head slowly, smiling, and returned to where he was previously.

"Okay James, you can leave tomorrow afternoon." Madame Pomfrey said. "And you three best be getting to your classes tomorrow."

Lily, Sirius, and Remus all nodded, Lily blushing.

When Madame Pomfrey disappeared into her office, James grinned at Lily. "Missed your precious classes for me? Aw, Lily, who knew you cared that much?"

"I don't. I just had to make sure you didn't get yourself killed." Lily said angrily before storming back to the common room, ignoring the paling of Remus' face at her last statement.

Sirius whistled, "Someone's got a bit of a temper, eh?"

James just ignored him, wondering what had gotten Lily upset.

Author's Note - Well, there's your chapter. I hated to get Lily mad at James, but something's going to happen soon that has a big part in the plot so don't hate me. Why she got mad will be explained in the next chapter. *sigh* I hate to get Lily mad at James as though they never became friends. (They still are, she just acted similar to how she would, were they not)
Oh, and I'm sorry it's so short but the chapters when we get to where I know the story's going they will be longer, for now I'm just winging it before the things I've already decided on happen.
