Pranks and Wands - Part 7: You fell


Lily knocked on the door.

"Dewy?" She asked. "Dewy?" Her voice sounded worried. She walked around the room until she reached my bed. "Dewy," She sat down. "What's wrong?"

"My parents are dead." I thought it would be better to just say it.

"Oh, Dewy," Lily hugged me, "I'm so sorry." I nodded.

"And I don't know what should I do now." I started crying - Again. "they're dead, and...and I don't know what to do!" I never knew how to express my feelings, but she seemed to understand what I meant.

"Well, how about going to dinner?" Lily asked. "they wouldn't want you to starve to death."

I put a few tissues in my pocket and followed Lily out of the dormitary.

James was nowhere to be seen in dinner. A feeling of anger started to grow in me. How could he dump me like that? But I let it go. James probably had enogh on his mind now. He didn't need me, also.

Lily and I were sitting in a corner of the common room, Lily playing chess with Anne Tarnoy, I reading a book, trying to hold back the tears that came every once in a while. Frank Longbottom, the third year, burst through the portrait whole.

"James," He panted, "Flying towred the forbidden forest," He colapsed into a chair. Peter, Remus and Sirius ran out of the portrait hole. Lily and I followed them. We grabbed brooms from the broom cupboard.

It was beautiful outside. The sun was setting over the lake and the squid was nowhere to be seen. The ground was covered with fluffy, two days old snow. There was coldness in the air, but it didn't feel omnimous. There was a spot flying in the air towred the forest...That was James!

Remus, Sirius and Lily started flying towred the forest while Peter ran for Professor Dumbledore. I was standing there, shock striken, trying to decide which party to join. After two seconds of quick thinking I grabbed a broom and kicked off. I kicked off a little too hard - I knew I would fall off. I fell to the ground, only subconcously aware of that.

I was spinning...It wasn't an uncomfterable spin. It was quite soothing, actually. I felt like a three years old back on my grandfather's knees, falling asleep...

Next thing I knew I was in the hospital wing, surrounded by white walls. I could see Lily, Remus, Sirius, Peter and James looking at me.

"You fell," Remus said, to break the silence.
