DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything that J.K. Rowling had written in her Harry Potter Series, but would like to thank her for letting me use her characters to my own twisted pleasure.

Also I would like to thank to reviewers that I have gotten feedback from so far. They made my day I hope you enjoy this next chapter as much as you have the other twelve.

Chapter Thirteen

When Matt returned back to the house he saw James and Sirius cleaning.

"What are you two doing?"

"What's it look like?" Sirius replied sarcastically. "I'm polishing the stairs. Its keeps me shape for my detentions when I get back to school."

James snorted. "I on the hand am trying to keep my night interesting, by helping out the house elves. I does a body good you know."

They both went to throw their rags into the bucket at the same time. James's landed, while Sirius's landed on James. Sirius gave a cry of triumph. Giving an annoyed look to Sirius first James threw the other rag into the bucket.

"Peter and Remus should be here soon we can have a game of quidditch then."

"It's the middle of the night."

"I know this."

Matt looked at James strangely.

"You don't have to join us," Sirius spoke from the stairs with a piece of candy in his mouth. How he stayed relatively thin who knows.

"If you want to that is," James added quickly. He just wanted information really. Lily was on his mind more this summer it seemed like. "My love, she has had a good summer so far I hope."

"As good as can be a this point," Matt said quietly and started up the stair case. "I'll think about your offer for the game."

James and Sirius watched as he headed up the stairs.

"I swear there is something going on, we have to get into that room."

James looked over at him and went in for a jab at his stomach. Sirius easily moved out of the way of James's fist and stuck his tongue out.

"I will get you one of these times Padfoot just watch you'll see."

Minutes pasted on as Sirius watched James move things around.

"I don't know about you mate but this sucks. Come on Prongs lets make our escape while we can."

James shook his head as he laughed a Sirius serious face.

"Come on you'll been thinking again to much," Sirius said bounced out of his funk as he practically ran for the kitchen. "I want pie."

"Hey, save a piece for me mate."

James had to run to keep up, knowing if Sirius got there first the pie would be gone.

Matt opened the door the bedroom to see Lily asleep on the bed. Moving over to the desk he saw two notebooks laying with a note attached. Picking up the note he read aloud.

Here are your and Lily's journals. I want you both to write in them every day you can. It's not good keeping your feeling all locked up. Don't worry paper never tells those who don't need to know.

Matt grabbed to the blue and gold one knowing that Mrs. Potter must have put spells on them. So know one could read what was written. However leave it to a Hogwarts adult to still go by house colors but then when they go back to school the books will blend in better.

Matt opened to page one grabbing a pencil out of his bag (He prefers pencils to quills). Then slowly began to draw moving over the page with jerky movements. Looking up at Lily before moving the chair around to face the front of the bed he watched her; for movements as he drew what was in front of him.

When he finished an hour later underneath he wrote: 'A picture's says a thousand words'. The picture showed Lily's plastered arm and leg; and the bandages that poked out the top of her shirt around her neck. She was luckily the casts only had to stay on for a few more days and the wrap around be broken ribs was gone. Allowing her more movement then her first few days did. Mind that she really didn't move thought first few days. Matt guessed they healed the ribs before they left this morning.

Morning, he couldn't believe only one day had passed. Well not the whole day he knew. The guys were probably looking for him now as a chance to see in the room but Matt didn't want to play quidditch right now. Not that he played very well anyways. After all he's still was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Matt turned to look at the house elf. "Missy was told to bring you a tray."

He wasn't hungry much either. "Just sit it down over there," he said pointing back at the desk.

"Shall Missy come back an hour for it."

Matt nodded his head not really listening. When the house elf disappeared the noise woke Lily.

Startle she sat up quickly with a hiss. Matt moved out of his chair to her side reaching a hand to her shoulder. Lily jerked out of his reach before even looking to see who it was.

Looking closely through the barely lit room she noticed him next to her.

"Matt, where were you? There were people trying to brake into the room and that weird lady came by again."

Matt looked at her with concern. 'Braking in… already.' he thought to himself then to James and Sirius cleaning earlier.

"People trying to get in the room, are you sure your feeling ok," he said reaching to place a hand on her forehead. Which of course make Lily move again. "Your fine there's no needed to run from me. I mean does this look like a face that could do harm."

Matt moved to flick on more candles with his wand so Lily could see him better. Though when she did see Matt was batting his eyes like a girl.

"I see your point. Though I can't help but move away give me time."

"You can have all you need if you eat something. I sure if you turned sideways you'll disappear."

"You think so."

"Ha ha," Matt said moving a crossed the room for the tray. "Plus I don't want to eat it, so I'll need you to eat my share and yours."

"How about I just throw it at you instead," she asked sweetly.

"Ok, I few bites."

He sat the tray down in front of her and watched as she tried to lift the bad arm first before moving to the other one.

"When do I get these things off?"

"A few more days, the healers said there was too much damage to do everything by magic all at once, since your body was unaccustomed to it."

"Well, if your going to hurt someone you might as well do it right," she said as a memory flashed a crossed her mind. Looking down a the tray her stomach turned. "I'm done."

"You said a few bites not one."

Lily threw him an irritated look.

"Fine," he said moving to pick the tray and putting it back on the desk. He noticed the notebook in red and gold picking it up he brought it over to sit in her lap.

"Mrs. Potter wants us to write our feelings out in these journals. I started mine but you can wait until you feel better."

"Which would be never," she mumble to herself.

"Which will be in the future," Matt said sitting at the edge of the bed.

When Lily didn't move he slid more on the bed till he was laying by her side. Waiting a few more moments he went to reach a hand out to hold Lily's. She moved her arm out of his reach. Sitting or Laying by her was fine but when he tried to touch she moved.

Matt just waited he knew as soon as she fell back asleep she would move right for his body heat.

"We'll make it through this," he said aloud. "We always do."

Lily made no noise, Matt figure she fell back asleep and quickly followed.

Lily laid there till her eyes would no longer stay open before letting sleep take her away.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

When morning came Matt turned to his side and saw Lily was gone. Jumping up instantly he looked around the room. No one. Running quickly through the door to the sitting room he saw her sitting on the loveseat; Mrs. Potter was a crossed from her.

"Lily," Matt said taking deep breaths. "I thought something had happened."

Lily gave him a strange look then turned away facing Mrs. Potter again.

"Oh, dear that was my fault. I wanted to talk to Lily before going into work. I've set up an appointment at St. Mungo's for Wednesday in four days for your casts to come off." she said offhandedly.

"Wednesday," Matt repeated.

"I also wanted you two to know that James has some of his friends staying over for a week or two. They have been told to stay out of this wing since yesterday's mishap."

"See I wasn't crazy. Potter was trying to break in."

"Yes, well my son's a bit of a mischief maker," she said with a laugh. "but you would now that as you both go to school with him."

Lily said nothing. She knew it was probably better this women knew nothing of the relationship she had with Potter Jr.

"I must be going really now."

Matt and Lily watched as she moved about the room straightening as she walked to the door. Once the door was closed Matt turned in on Lily.

"How did you get out here?"

"Mrs. Potter"

"Why not just wake me? I could have move you without magic so you wouldn't have been uncomfortable."

She just shrugged her shoulders.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Another shrug.

"Yes. No. Maybe so."

Nothing.

"Ok well I'm going to make an appearance though I doubt they will be up," he said looking down at his watch. Lily knew who they were talking about. 8:17 in the morning.

"Do you want me to get you anything? Move you some where more comfortable maybe?"

"No, I'm fine," she said then turned to smile at him sweetly though the smile didn't reach to the way she was saying fuck off with her eyes. Nor did it say anything about the don't touch me vibe coming from her body.

Matt looked down at her then a crossed the room at the door way for the bedroom. Making a quick decision he grabbed some books and laid then down on the notebook in front of Lily.

"I'll see you in a few."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Walking out of that room was hard for Matt as he watched Lily stared out into space again. The end of this summer she would be much better, he keep thinking over and over. She'll be better by then, they'll all see. Now all he had to do was keep Potter and Black away, he thought as he walked down the halls.

Looking at the walls as he made his way slowly down the stairs he noticed moving paintings like Hogwarts. Some showed places and landscape's, others showed Potter's family, but even most just showed an empty frames.

The house was big; bigger than any other he had every been in. Potter it was definitely a pureblooded family. He had known reading it some where at Hogwarts through history books. The pureblooded families that were left of the wizarding world. Though the Potter's held no signs that Slytherin's showed of muggleborns like him and Lily. Matt wondered what it would be like to be raised a wizard. His parents had been around a lot. They practically raised Lily and himself together but so far it seemed James did most what he wanted. Parent moving on a different network.

Then again that could explain why he couldn't get over Lily telling him no. Or why he and Black are practically glued to each other. Both pureblood but Matt heard to stories about Sirius's family. A shiver went down his spine at the thought of Sirius's family and Lily's mother. They must have been from the same breed somewhere down the family lines.

Taking a look out one of the windows he passed Matt no longer wanted breakfast. A long walk yes. Get familiar the out doors he had a feeling that he was about to spend a lot of time cooped up.

Author's Note:

Now I'm telling you all this now I have only profited half of this as I wanted to finish and I only had half of the chapter done when I started. So if I had mistakes I will try to fix then later this week.
