Chapter 14: Still the same
"LET ME OUT!" Lily screamed pounding on a white wall with her fist, "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Lily yelled.
She had no idea where she was or how she got there, all she knew was that she was in an all white room with no doors or window and no way out and she'd been there for a couple of hours.
Lily let out a frustrated growl, "DIFFINDO!" Lily yelled pointing her wand at the wall trying to rip it in two but nothing happened.
"I WANT OUT OF HERE!" Lily yelled smacking her fists hard onto the wall angrily.
She didn't know what was going on. All she remembered was that Morgan was cornered by death eaters at the lake so she went and helped. Then she got hit by a spell and... nothing, she couldn't remember anything else so she had no idea how the hell she got here.
"FLAGRATE!" Lily yelled pointing her wand at the wall. Flames shot out of her wand and hit into the wand, the flames licking the whiteness. When Lily stopped she hadn't even made a mark on the wall.
Lily sat down defeated and put her head in her hands feeling tears well up in her eyes, "Where am I?" Lily said quietly tears starting to fall down her face.
"Shh, don't worry Lily, you're going to be fine," A voice behind Lily said as Lily felt a hand on her should. Lily whirled around to see James Potter sitting next to her.
"James? How did you get here? Where are we?" Lily asked confused as she wiped away the tears from her face.
"Calm down," James soothed raising a hand to Lily's face and stroking her cheek, "Everything's going to be ok. We're in your mind."
"My mind? What?" Lily asked confused. How could she be in her mind... that didn't make any sense whatsoever.
"Remember when you were fighting off those death eaters?" James asked, Lily nodded, "Well, you were hit with three illegal curses and now you're unconscious."
"Well how do I wake up? I've been trying everything I could have thought of to get out of here!" Lily exclaimed exasperated.
All she wanted to do was go back to her dorm, curl up in a ball and go to sleep and pretend Halloween had never happened. It was the absolute worse night of her life.
"Wait... how did you get here?" Lily asked, "How're you in my mind?"
"I'm here to try and help you wake up. Everyone's really worried about you Lils. We all want you to wake up," James said running a hand through her hair.
"But I don't know how to! I've been trying to get out of here! That's what I've been trying to tell you! You got in here, you must know how to get out, please James, tell me!" Lily begged feeling extremely frustrated.
"I can't tell you how to get out Lily, you have to get out all on your own," James said.
Lily got up and walked away from James frustrated, "You just said that you were here to help me and now you're saying that I have to do it all on my own, gee thanks a lot James!"
James smiled and stood up putting his hands in his pockets, "You're not going to get out of here if you're angry,"
Lily looked over at him skeptically then rolled her eyes, "Well I don't have much to be happy about right now do I? I'm trapped in my mind with no way out and here you are saying you're here to 'help' me and all you're doing is pissing me off!"
"Lily, we're in your mind. Did you ever think of oh I don't know... making your own way out?" James asked innocently.
"Making my own way out? What do you... OH! Do you mean all I have to do is think of a way out of here and then it will just happen?" Lily asked excitedly. James just shrugged but he was smiling so Lily took that as a good thing, "Wow, that's so easy! Ok, I want a door out of here!" Lily said closing her eyes and scrunching up her nose as she thought of a door.
When Lily opened her eyes One of the white walls had a white door in it with a gold knob. Lily squealed excitedly, "Yes! Oh James we did it!" Lily said happily looking over at him with a huge smile.
"No, you did it Lils," James said smiling smally.
"I would have never thought of it without you, thank-you!" Lily said walking over to him and giving him a huge hug.
"It was–no problem," James said as he hugged Lily tightly back.
Lily leaned back, her arms still around James and his arms still around her, and she looked deep inot his hazel eyes. They looked sad yet happy all at once as they gazed at Lily.
"Thank-you," Lily whispered never taking her eyes off of James's.
"You already said that," James said quietly staring into Lily's emerald green eyes.
"I know," Lily said.
Slowly both of them leaned into each other and their faces got closer and closer until...
Lily bolted upright breathing heavily. She felt ill, she felt extremely ill. Lily looked over to her bed side and saw a bucket and quickly grabbed it vomiting into it.
When Lily was done she lied back down feeling pain spread through her body. She looked around the room and saw she was in the hospital wing. Lily rubbed her head feeling a pain spread through it and looked over to her right to see Jade and Piper asleep in the chairs next to her bed.
Lily smiled at her two friends who looked so uncomfortable in the chairs next to her. Lily reached over and grabbed the Bertie Botts that were sitting next to her bed and threw one at each of them.
Both Piper and Jade stirred stretching and yawning and then looked over at Lily and freezing. Both of their eyes went wide and then they started to fill up with tears.
"LILY!" They both cried and crushed her with hugs.
"I was so scared!" Piper sobbed into Lily's shoulder.
"Don't you ever pull that brave shit ever again! Just be a coward and go get help like everyone else you git!" Jade choked.
Lily smiled, "Guy's I'm fine! I've only been out for a couple of hours," Lily said weakly, finding she was having difficulty speaking. Her voice felt dry and raspy.
Jade and Piper looked at Lily confused, "Lily... you haven't been out for a few hours, you've been out for almost two weeks," Piper told her as she wiped her eyes.
"What? No I haven't," Lily said waving away Piper's explanation.
"Lily, it's November 12th," Jade said quietly.
Lily looked at Jade and Piper horrified, there was no way–she couldn't have, "I've missed so much homework," Lily said quielty.
Jade and Piper both laughed, "Good, you're ok," Piper said sniffing.
"How're you two here in the middle of the night? Madame Pomfrey doesn't let people stay here this late," Lily said confused.
"Madame Pomfrey is terrified of Jade," Piper explained.
"What?"
"She's not terrified of me,"
"She is to. Madame Pomfrey told Jade she couldn't come see you and Jade started cursing and throwing hexes around and even threw a hex at Madame Pomfrey herself. Now Jade can come and go as she pleases and Madame Pomfrey goes and hides in her office,"
"Jade, how could you curse Madame Pomfrey,"
"I warned her,"
"Still,"
"Hey, I said 'If you don't let me in there I'll curse you Madame Pomfrey' and she didn't so I did,"
"Didn't you get in trouble?"
"Technically...yes. But James is doing my detention because he thought I should be here, but he says I owe him one since it's a week long detention, wonder what he'll make me do..."
Lily laughed and then started to cough and closed her eyes. She was starting to feel very tired and wanted to go back to sleep.
"Lily, you should rest. We're going to go back to the common room, but we'll be here first thing in the morning," Piper promised as she stood up.
"Before you even open your eyes!" Jade said.
"Ok, bye guys," Lily said tiredly not being able to keep her eyes opened any longer and falling back asleep.
"Don't make me drink that! It's black and chunky, its not even a drink, I'm going to have to chew it!" Lily protested as Madame Pomfrey handed her a potion.
"Are you having pains jetted throughout your body still?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"Yes," Lily admitted begrudgingly.
"Would you like those pains to stop?" Madame Pomfrey asked.
"Yes,"
"Then stop whining and drink the potion," Madame Pomfrey said strictly.
"Fine," Lily said through her teeth. She looked down at the gross concoction that Madame Pomfrey was making her drink and held her nose with one hand and quickly chugged the drink.
Lily started to cough almost throwing the drink back up. It tasted disgusting! Lily put the cup down and continued to cough.
"Oh that was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted in my entire life!" Lily complained.
"Good then it's working. I'll be back to check on you in a couple of minutes," Madame Pomfrey said as she walked away.
"Hello Ms. Evans," Professor Dumbeldore said coming into the room.
"Hi Professor Dumbeldore," Lily said as she tried to stop coughing.
"How're you feeling?" Professor Dumbeldore inquired as he sat down in the seat next to Lily's bed.
"I'm feeling better thank-you," Lily replied.
"I thought that you'd like to know that the three students who attacked you and Ms. Larson have been expelled," Professor Dumbeldore informed her.
"Good," Lily said bitterly her eyes clouding over with anger.
"I must apologize once again for what happened. I try to believe the best in my students–" Professor Dumbeldore began to say but Lily cut him off.
"Don't apologize Professor, it wasn't your fault at all," Lily assured him.
"How is Morgan?" Lily asked.
"She was in the hospital wing for a day while Madame Pomfrey healed her ankle which had been broken, otherwise she is fine. She actually wishes to speak with you, she is outside right now, I said I'd come in first and see if you were up to having visitors,"
Lily felt her face go red. She decided to leave out the fact that Piper and Jade had just left to do homework after spending the whole day with Lily in the hospital wing, "Sure," Lily replied.
"Before I go Ms. Evans, I have to say, I quite admire you. At a time where most students would have run away, you rose to the challenge and defended those who needed help. You are a role model to students in this school," Professor Dumbeldore said seriously looking Lily straight in the eye who blushed furiously in return.
"Thank-you," Lily said shyly. She couldn't believe that Dumbeldore was giving her such a compliment.
Professor Dumbeldore smiled at her and then left the hospital wing. After a few minutes Morgan appeared at the door hesitantly and slowly made her way over to Lily's bed.
"...Hi Lily," Morgan said awkwardly.
"Hi Morgan," Lily replied politely.
Morgan sat down in the chair Professor Dumbeldore had been in moments before looking extremely nervous.
"I haven't got a chance to say... thank-you. Thank-you for saving my life. If you hadn't come, I don't know what would have happened... I could be–" Morgan started to say
"You would have been fine," Lily said firmly cutting Morgan off.
Morgan looked up at Lily shocked them smiled at her nodding her head, "It was really an amazing thing what you did for me... I know I haven't been really nice to you, and I'm really sorry for that,"
"It's all right," Lily said quietly.
"It's not though. I was always so insecure around you because of how much James likes you. I never understood it, why he could never like me as much as he does you. I think I do now. You're one of the last truly good hearted people left in this world Lily. You think of others before yourself, you try to be nice to everyone, your smart your pretty, and just an all around great person," Morgan said.
Lily felt her cheeks heat up, Morgan was being really nice, "Wait. You keep saying how much James 'likes' me. Don't you mean 'liked'?" Lily asked confused.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. James and I broke up during the Halloween Ball because he still likes you... a lot," Morgan said.
Lily sat there staring at Morgan and felt a ball of happiness swell up inside of her. James still liked her? Did that mean she still had a chance with him?
"Why're you telling me all of this?" Lily asked.
Morgan sighed, "You saved my life Lily and I think you deserve to know the truth. Do you remember the boyfriend I had all last year? Gavin?" Morgan asked. Lily nodded her head, "Well, we broke up at the beginning of this year and I was really heart broken and I really wanted to get him back. James came up to me with a proposition,"
Lily's ears perked up...a what?
"He said that he knew the perfect way for me to get Gavin back was to make him jealous by dating him. I didn't understand why he would want to do this until he explained more. He was going to date me so I could make Gavin jealous... and so he could make you jealous,"
Lily just stared at Morgan unable to believe her ears.
"I thought this plan was working so perfectly, Gavin even told me he wanted me back but I had fallen for James. When I told James this, he broke up with me. He said he couldn't do it because he only liked you. I thought he was a jerk at first... but at least he didn't lead me on,"
Lily felt anger started to spread through her body but she kept her face calm.
"I know it seem's like a really jerk of a thing for James to do to you. Date someone else just to make you jealous, but try to remember Lily, he really likes you and didn't know what else to do to make you like him. I thought you deserved to know this, and I'm sorry about everything," Morgan said as she got up, "Bye."
"Bye," Lily said tightly as she stared straight ahead of her.
She didn't know what to think, she didn't know what to feel. She just kept staring straight ahead of her a million thoughts rushing through her head not sure which one it was that she was suppose to listen to.
"Professor please, can I go now?" James pleaded to Professor Mcgonagall whom he was helping mark test papers.
"We're not finished yet Potter," Professor Mcgonagall said sternly and she looked at James over her glasses.
"I know Professor, but Lily's been awake all day and I still haven't been able to see her!" James protested.
Professor Mcgonagall continued to mark papers ignoring James, then stopped, "Fine, you may go," She finally caved in.
"Thank-you!" James said excitedly grabbing all of his things together and running out of the door.
James had been ecstatic when he found out that Lily had woken up, he couldn't wait to see her, to tell her... everything. He really needed to talk to her and hoped that she was going to be able to except everything.
James ran through the halls trying to get to the hospital wing as fast as possible and stopped when he finally reached his destination.
James took a couple of deep breaths then walked in. He saw Lily on one of the beds sitting up and reading a magazine. James smiled and walked over to her.
"Hi Lily," James said announcing his presence.
Lily looked up at James, "...hi," She replied giving him a small smile.
James took this as a good thing and sat down in the chair next to her, he went to say something to her but she caught him off.
"Wait," Lily said putting up a hand, "I need to say something before you do or else I'm not going to get it out. I want to say... thank-you, for saving my life. It was a very brave thing that you did for me."
James grinned even wider, "It was no problem I would–"
"I'm not done," Lily cut him off, "It was a brave thing you did and for that I will always be grateful towards you, but other then that James Potter I want you out of my life." Lily's eyes hardened and her tone was venomous.
James stared at her completely confused, "What?"
"You haven't changed, you haven't changed one bit. You've led to me to believe that you had changed, that you weren't the same prat you were before, and I believed you. It's really mostly my fault, I should have stuck with my gut instinct and realized that you were a slime ball and always will be a slime ball," Lily said angrily.
James felt like he had been hit with a semi-truck, he had no idea what was going on, "What're you talking about? Why're you saying these things?" James asked feeling extremely hurt by Lily's harsh words.
"You led me to believe that you were actually a decent person when this whole time it was all just apart of your stupid plan," Lily spat, "I see you still looked confused, let me help you out, even though you don't deserve it, Morgan came and talked to me today."
Slowly, James realized what happened and he felt his heart break. Morgan had told her what happened, "Lily, I was going to tell yo–"
"DON'T! Don't even to try and say you were going to tell me because it wouldn't make a difference at ALL! The fact is you did it! Why would you ever do that! WHY!" Lily demanded angrily.
"Because Lily, it was the only way for you to notice me!" James explained.
"That head of yours is really thick isn't it Potter. I noticed you before you started dating Morgan, you didn't need her," Lily hissed.
"But you didn't Lily! You were never going to give me a chance. I had to find some way to show you what a great boyfriend I could be, for you to think that maybe you could have a future with me!" James pleaded.
"By dating another girl just despite me? You disgust me Potter. Get out! GET OUT OF HERE! Don't ever speak to me again!"
"Lily I Lo–"
"DON'T EVEN SAY IT! You don't know what love is Potter, you have NO idea what love is so don't try and say that you love me because you don't! You're a conceited bigheaded git who loves nothing but himself. For a fraction of a second I thought that maybe you had changed, I see I was horribly wrong, now get out!"
James stared at Lily feeling completely hopeless. He didn't know what else to do so he stood up and started walking towards the door, "Lily, I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you,"
"It's a little late for that isn't it,"
James bowed his head and walked out of the Hospital Wing. He didn't make it much farther when he fell against the wall and down to his knees bringing his hands to his face and started to cry. He lost Lily, he lost her for good. She was so angry, she hated him.
As James sat there crying, he would never know that just a few feet away in the hospital wing a certain red head was crying as well.
