Soul Mates… or Playmates? Part 5!



Suzanne was crying in Remus's arms, and Remus was trying his best to soothe Suzanne.

"I -- can't believe th -- that this ha -- had to -- ha -- ha -- happen to LILY!!" she sobbed in the Hospital Wing.

Lily was in the intensive care bed at the moment, and James was sitting by her side. He looked terrible. He barely slept, and his usual mischievous twinkle in his eye seemed to have gone out. The teachers were just as bad as James, only they tried hard to conceal it.

Sirius was soothing Nadia, and trying to soothe himself as well. Sirius was so torn up inside, he couldn't bare it. He had a murderous look in his eyes every time he looked at the Slytherin table. He wasn't positive who it was, but he knew it had to have been Malfoy and his gang. He was plotting revenge for quite a while, thought it was time for some drastic action.

At lunch the next day, Sirius went up to Snape and tapped him on the shoulder.

"What do you want, Black?" Snape spat.

"If you want to see something worth seeing, tomorrow night, the night of the full moon, touch the knot on the Whomping Willow that is in between the two biggest branches. That freezes the knot, and then a small passageway will appear. Crawl into the passageway, and go down the passage. Remus will -- no doubt -- be at the end of the passageway, and he'll show you something worth seeing than Snape." Then he walked away, leaving Snape thoroughly confused.
***********************************


Lucy looked sadly at the high curtains blocking Lily from view. She tried to go to Peter for comfort, but he didn't seem too keen on talking about it. (A/N L0L, I'm such a dork! *slaps self* 'keen' L0L…) She wondered why this was. Every time she started crying about it, Peter seemed very uncomfortable -- almost like he knew something about it that the others didn't.

Suzanne came and sat next to Lucy. Suzanne's eyes were extremely bloodshot. Sirius came and looked very satisfied about something, and Peter followed. He however looked somewhat evil. Remus came in looking like he didn't know what to do with himself now that Lily was in such condition. Nadia came in, carrying a tissue, and burst out in tears again. Sirius jumped up, and held her close trying to comfort her.

James was sitting next to Lily with his head in his hands. Then he heard a movement.

"James?" it was Lily. James almost jumped up for joy.

"Yes Lily?" he asked while gently brushing her hair away from her face.

"Wh -- why am I in here? Wh -- where's everyone? OW! My head!" Lily seemed very confused. (A/N ya think?)

Lily sat up suddenly and grabbed her head, she was gasping in pain. James stuck his head out of the curtains, and called for Madame Pomfrey. Madame Pomfrey came running in, and quickly asked what happened.

"She just woke up, and seemed very confused, then she grabbed her head in pain." Said James, somewhat hysterically.

Madame Pomfrey shooed him out because he was so hysterical.

"Sirius, come here and watch after James." She said.
**************************


In the Common Room that night, Sirius and Peter were playing chess, with James watching them.

"Hey, Peter, did you here what I did to Snape at lunch?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, you told me remember? You told Snape to press the knot that freezes the tree, and to go down the passage. Do you think it'll work?" Peter said.

"WHAT?!" James screamed. Sirius looked up at him in mild surprise.

"James, I only told Snape to do that for his own good. He sneaks around trying to get us in trouble, and I'm sure it was one of his gang who did that to Lily. I told him to go tonight, and he'll meet Remus… Where are you going?"

For James had just jumped up and ran out the portrait hole. He was sprinting down the halls, and burst out the front door. He picked up a long stick, and pressed the knot that froze the tree, and dashed down the passageway that led to the Shrieking Shack. He heard snarling, and sped up. He saw Snape backing against the wall, and dragged him out.

"RUN! RUN NOW!" James yelled, pushing him in front of him. Remus -- who was in werewolf form -- was snarling, and trying to chase after them, but James was holding him off with his wand. Then he dashed back outside, and found Snape sitting against a tree.

"Are you all right?" asked James fiercely. Snape looked up at him his black eyes glinting strangely.

"So… Remus is a werewolf? And so, you tried to get me killed - you'll pay for this Potter."

James just stared at him, "Come on, let's go to Dumbledore, we need to tell him what you saw," James grabbed Snape by his upper arm, and dragged him to Dumbledore's office.

When James explained what happened, Dumbledore didn't give any punishments, but he looked Snape straight in the eye and said,

"Severus, if you tell anyone -- ANYONE -- what you saw, you will get a detention each night for two months, and you will get suspended from this school. Do you understand?"

Snape just nodded, his black eyes still glinting.




*******************
About one month later, Lily emerged from the Hospital Wing feeling fine. The whole school knew about Lily's 'episode', and seemed to be very shocked by it. Everyone liked Lily, except of course the Slytherins. They went out of their way to look at Lily, and Lily just wanted to go back up to the Gryffindor Tower. When she got there, James seemed to be crying. When he saw Lily, he jumped up, picked her up, and swung her around. Then Lily kissed her. Sirius ran over, and pulled Lily in a huge hug. Lily smiled, and sat down.

"Anyone want a game of Exploding Snap?" she asked, perfectly normally.



***********************************

Lily woke up to a huge bang. She quickly pulled back the hangings, and looked wildly around. Standing in the doorway was Lord Voldemort. Lily took one look at him, and screamed.

"HELP!!!!!!! SOMEBODY! HELLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!" Lily ran towards the window, away from Voldemort. Suzanne, Nadia, and Lucy stuck their heads out.

"Lily?" Suzanne asked, "What's the matter?" Voldemort turned to her and shouted,

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Suzanne was dead.

Then he turned to Lucy, and killed her. He killed everyone except Lily. Slowly he advanced on Lily.


"Look here, Mudblood. I will get you over to the Dark Side. I will kill your child that will defeat me. I will not kill you now, but I shall give you a dose of pain before I go. CRUCIO!"

Lily was screaming louder than she ever screamed before. She was screaming as if her body was on fire, or a werewolf was slowly advancing on her.


"LILY!! LILY! WAKE UP! LILY!!! GET UP!!!" Somebody was shaking her. She rolled over, and opened her eyes.

"Su - Suzanne? You're alive? Ho- how can that be?" Suzanne looked at her strangely.

"Lily," she said soothingly, "it was only a dream, we're all fine, it's all right."

Suzanne pulled Lily in a hug, "We're not going anywhere Lil'."

Lily sighed, and got out of bed, and looked around at her friends.

"You guys are the best. You know that right? You will always be my best friends." (A/N *snifflez*)

*********************
(Skip to Valentines Day)

Lily walked into the Hall, and blinked. Every single boy was staring at her with love struck expressions on their faces. She wished they wouldn't, she never like it when that happened.

"Hey guys!" She said happily, and sat down next to James.

"Hey sweetie," James responded. Then he gave her a peck on the cheek. The boys that were staring at Lily quickly looked away, feeling jealous. Sirius was grinning at Lily, and said,

"Lily, you're going to get so many owls, they're going to suffocate you."

Lily just rolled her eyes, and threw her muffin at Sirius. Sirius pretended to fall off his chair, and die. Lily jumped out of her seat, and helped him up. She tried hard not to giggle, but failed. She playfully slapped Sirius, and said,

"You're so stupid!! How did you manage to pass your O.W.L.s?"

Sirius just shrugged, and sat back down. Just then, the mail arrived. Lily looked up, and sure enough, there were about 100 owls soaring towards her.

"OH MY GOSH! SOMBODY HELP!! LILY'S BEING ATTACKED BY OWLS!!" Sirius shouted.

Dumbledore watched this, his eyes twinkling. More than half of the owls were soaring toward Lily. Lily got up, and ran away, but the owls just followed her.

Lily plopped back down in her seat.

"I give up! They're following me everywhere!"

Lucy was laughing so hard, she fell off her chair. Lily threw a muffin at her too.

"Shut it you." She said.

Lily turned to all of the owls that were trying to give Lily her present first. She received five large teddy bears, and 17 normal sized teddy bears. The most peculiar gift she was given was a picture of a tree. Attached to it was a note. It said:




Remember that night sweet Mudblood? Remember that night. I was just making sure you didn't forget it.
Love,
You should know…


Lily paled; she looked over at the Slytherin table, and remembered. It was Malfoy. Malfoy waved, and winked at Lily. Lily got up, and marched over to him.

"You slimy git," she hissed. Then she put the picture of the tree in a pitcher of pumpkin juice, and smashed it on his head. She turned and marched back to the Gryffindor table. The Hall started clapping, and then they went completely silent. Marching towards Lily was Malfoy.

"Can I have a word… Lily?" He said 'Lily' like it was a pile of dog poop[A/N L0L… hee hee ^_^]. Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed Lily by the upper arm, and yanked her violently out of the Hall.

"Never do that again, Mudblood, if you do you will be very sorry." He spat. Then he pushed Lily up against the wall, and started kissing her. She struggled to get away, but she couldn't.

"Let GO!" Lily said. But Malfoy pretended like he couldn't hear her. Lily kneed Malfoy right in his thy, and then smacked him.

"NEVER DO THAT AGAIN MALFOY!!" she shrieked. She then stormed back into the Hall, where the owls once again swarmed her. Pretending as though nothing happened, she joked with her friends. She got a gorgeous ring from James, and at the moment she was 'thanking' him.

While they were kissing, Dumbledore stood up, and cleared his throat. Lily and James didn't hear him, so they kept on kissing. Dumbledore saw them, and cleared his throat even louder. Everyone started laughing, and Suzanne smiled mischievously.

"LILY! JAMES! PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE IS TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SUCKING EACH OTHER'S MOUTHS AND LISTEN?" She screamed.

Lily and James broke apart, their faces burning.

"Sorry, Professor," they mumbled.

Dumbledore just smiled, and said, "Thank you Suzanne." Suzanne bowed.

"Now," said Dumbledore, "The marjority of you wanted a dance for Valentine's Day. You will be pleased to know that we will be having one," he paused while he waited for the students cheers to subside, "however, there will be a contest to see who is the best couple at Hogwarts. First years are welcome. If I see any trouble, or harassing other students," his eyes flickered over to the Slytherin table, "I will personally suspend you, or expel you. The dance will be held at 8:00 sharp. Thank you!"

Lily pretended to look overwhelmed.

"I don't know who to go with, what shall I ever do?" she said.

James got down on his knee, "Oh Lily, my love, will you please do me the honor of escorting me to the dance?"

Lily bent down and kissed him. "Oh of course James!"

********************************


It was time to get ready for the dance. After every single boy asking Lily to the dance, she was exhausted. Everyone asked Suzanne out as well. Peter mumbled something about not going, so Lucy was heartbroken. She was soon asked by a Hufflepuff.

Suzanne was asked by Sirius, and Nadia seemed pretty angry, but was soon cheered up because Remus asked her. Nadia recently seemed to like Remus a lot, and vice versa. Lily, of course, was going with James [ A/N imagine if she went with Malfoy, or Snape!!].


Lily was dressed in a pale, pale pink dress robe that amazingly didn't clash with her vivid hair. She wore her hair up in a half French braid, and silver hair clippies across the braid. On her feet she had white strappy sandals, that were only one and a half inches tall.


Suzanne was looking very pretty as well, and so were Lucy and Nadia. When they went downstairs, the girls all gave her jealous looks when there boyfriends' jaws dropped.


James accompanied Lily to the dance, and when they got there, the room went deadly quiet. Everyone seemed to be looking at them with a look of utmost terror.

"What?" Lily asked.

Nobody moved, they just continued to look petrified. Lily slowly turned around, somewhat regretting what she would see…
