After returning back to James' house the rest of the holidays went by fast.
It felt like just yesterday they got off the scarlet hogwarts express, and
they would already be going back. It was early morning, when Lily, and
James woke up. They quickly got dressed, and double checked the house for
forgotten things. Lily was going to miss James' house it was so beautiful,
and her stay had been so much fun. They had just got back from Diagon Alley
a few days ago, and had met up with Lily's friend Angela who hadn't had
nearly as much fun on her summer vacation. James also loved having Lily
stay over, because he loved being with her all the time. Both Lily, and
James were happy to return to Hogwarts because it was their last year, and
would probally be the most fun. James picked up both his, and Lily's
suitcase, and loaded them on his fathers rented car. He looked around for
Lily, and found her in the bathroom fixing up her makeup. " You look
great.. now lets go!" he yelled. " Oh all right." she said, and snapped her
compact, and ran to catch up with James. They piled in the car, and started
driving towards the station.
The car ride went by fast, and in no time at all they were standing in the middle of a crowded King's Cross Station. The station was packed with muggles, and it was almost impossible to disapear without being seen. " James you go first."Lily suggested. James nodded "Bye Mom, Dad!" He yelled, as he disapeared. " Bye Mr., and Mrs. Potter, Thanks!" Lily shouted, as she too fanished. Lily repeared on the other side of barrier, she could see the large scarlet express ready to go. She saw James heading over to his friends, and she too decided to search for her friends. She walked through a bunch of excited first years over to Angela. " Hey!" she yelled, and hugged her friend. They were happy to going to school again. They chatted for a few minutes, and decided to board the train. They searched for an empty compartment, and sat down.
"Hey James over here!" Remus yelled. James quickly ran over to join his friends. "Where's Lily?" Peter asked quitely. James shrugged, and contiuned talking to Sirius. They soon decided that they should board the train, seeing as it was leaving soon. " Lets find Lily." James suggested. He knocked on five or six doors before hearing the soft voice of his girlfriend. " Come in" Lily said. James slid the door open, and he, Sirius, Remus, and Peter sat down. The compartment was only meant for four so it was a tight a squeze for the six of them. Lily was in a heavy conversation, about the new headmaster Dumbledore. She was just about to say something when she felt something brush against her legs. "Ahhhhhhh!" she screamed.
"What!" James jumped. Lily looked down at her feet, and saw two rats nimbling at her toes. "Rats!" Lily yelled. "Peter" James sighed. Peter bent down, and picked up the two creatures. "Sorry Lils didn't realize they got out." Peter apolgized. Lily hadn't known much about Peter he was so quite. " You like Rats?" she asked. " Well I-I" he stuttered. Sirius, Remus, and James shook there heads madly at there very nervous friend. "Your What?" Lily demanded. "Nothing!" Peter said quickly, and continued to stare at the floor. Lily had this feeling that they were keeping something from her, but was distracted when the trolley lady came in.
"Anything off the cart?" the plump lady asked. James purchased some chocolate frogs, and pumpkin pasties. He still couldn't believe how close Lily had come to finding out his secret. He had never told Lily that he was an Animagus because it had never really come up, but he felt that he might just have to tell her soon. The rest of the train ride flew by. James was feeling very tired so he could only nodd, and smile, he felt his eye's getting droppy, and he must of driffted off because before he knew he was being prodded awake. "James wake up were here." Sirius yelled in his ear. James slowly stood up, and made his way to a carrige with his friends. He, Sirius, Remus, and Peter shared a carriage, and Lily, Angela, and some other seventh year shared one. "You haven't told her yet." Peter asked James. " What am I supposed to say. Hey Lils umm I'm a Animagus, and so are Sirius, Peter, and Remus. Yeah she'll go for that." James answered. " Well you better tell her before she finds out." Remus added. "I know, I know I'll tell her soon." James said annoyed. " Surrreeee you will" Sirius said said in a sarcastic tone. James shot an angry grin at Sirius, and sat back, and enjoyed the quite carriage ride up to the castle. Lily, Angela, and to other girls Stephanie, and Margret all shared the same carriage. Lily was still felt that she wasn't being told something, but never had the cahnce to ask James because he fell asleep. " What's eating you." Angela asked. " Nothing" Lily lied. She didn't feel like explaining that she thought her boyfriend was keeping secrets, Angela already disliked James because of last year. Lily decided to forget her promblems for now, and get ready for the great feast. It wasn't much longer until the carriges came to a stop infront of the large golden doors. Lily jumped out, and ran to meet up with James.
The Hall was packed with excited students, everyone had tooken there seats, and the sorting cermony was about to begin. The extremly nervous first years had just entered the hall, each face more scared then the next. The sorting took over twenty minutes, and the new students had found there seats amoungst the rest. Everyone was quite when the old tranfigueation teacher, now the new headmaster Dumble stood up. " Welcome students." he said cheerfully. " Another new year has begun." he said. James had stopped paying attention after that he caught a few more words about the forest, and that was it, the next thing he knew the golden plates had begun to fill. "Ummmm... my favorite part." Sirius said filling his plate up wiith food. James took a little bit of everything, and began to feast. He looked over at Lily, and noticed that she wasn't eating. " What's wrong?" he asked her.
"Oh nothing." she lied. Lily wasn't feeling very well, she could feel her head getting hot, and eye's starting to droop. "Lily are you okay." James asked again. Lily was about to reply when the hall started to slip away, and at that moment everything went blank. "Lily!!" James cried, and pulled her off the floor. James picked her up, and carried her to the hospital wing. He wanted to sray with her, she looked so limp, and helpless, but Madame Leberg had shooed him away. He didn't feel like going back to the hall so he headed up to the gryffindor tower.
Lily awoke very late that night, she looked around nervously not remebering where she was. She sat up quickly seeing the clean white beds surrounding her. "Ahhh she's awake." Madame Leberg said emerging from the darkness. "You scared me." Lily replied very grogly. Madame Leberg stood beside her. "Your temperatures down." she said feeling her froehead. "I think you should spend the night here, and return in the morning." she said again, and turned away. Lily had much to think about her head was overwhelmed with thoughts. Madame had given her some sleep potion, and the room began to dissapear as she entered her dreamless sleep.
James hadn't wasted much time he was up very early, dressed, and ready to go. "James what are you doing up it's 6:30?" Sirius moaned. " I'm going to see Lily." he answered, and hurried down the stairs. It didn't take him more then fifteen minutes to get to the Hospital wing, he was very anxious to see Lily. He entered the hospital very quitely, not wanting to disturb his sleeping princess. She was beautiful. Her firey hair rolled down onto the white sheets, and her glowing cheeks lit up the room. "Lily." he whispered. He tried three times before Lily had made any sign of movment. Her looked up slightly revealing her emerald green eye's. "Oh Lily are you okay?" he asked softly. Lily nodded her head much to tired to speak. James sat down on the chair next to her, and quietly held her hand. "And just what do you think your doing here Mr. Potter?" Madame Leberg had just entered the room. James was lost for words, he stood up quickly. "I-I just wanted to see her." he stuttered. Madame Lebergs frown had dissapeared, and replaced itself with a smile. "Ok, but only five more minutes. She'll be out of the hospital today." she added. James was thankful for her kindess, and left after five minutes.
Lily had finally woke up, she dressed, and very quickly raced down to the great hall to join her friends. James was the first one to great her, she took his hand, and sat down beside him. "You gave us all quite a scare." Sirius said. Lily blushed she was very embarresed that she had passed out. " Oh.. well Thank you for being worried, but you hadn't needed to. Madame Leberg said it was just stress." she said quickly. Lily was very hungry, she hadn't eaten last night, and was making up for it. "Whoa Lily slow down." James said watching her stuff her face with a little bit of everything. Lily quickly swollowed her food, and began to eat at a normal pace. Lily was talking to Angela, but was inturrupted by the loud voice of Proffessor Dumbledore. "Good morning Students." his voice bellowed through out the hall. " I just wanted to annouce that the Welcome Back dance will be held this Friday, proper attire will be worn, and you may invite a partner." he finished. The hall had erupted in chatter, and James had given Lily a little nudge in the side. "Dance eh... could be fun." he said wiggling his eyebrows.
The car ride went by fast, and in no time at all they were standing in the middle of a crowded King's Cross Station. The station was packed with muggles, and it was almost impossible to disapear without being seen. " James you go first."Lily suggested. James nodded "Bye Mom, Dad!" He yelled, as he disapeared.
