chapter 3.
----song lyrics i thought could be in reference to this chapter----
i don't need anyone
to tell me i'm wrong
i know that you love me
i don't care what they say
i'll be there from the start
i'll be there when you need me
why do you think you can treat me this way...
-soulDecision, I don't need anyone
----after you read the chapter, did you catch my drift?----
Lily didn't wake for quite a few days. Madam Crinchee was quite shocked when she found 'Miss Evans' in the bed instead of 'Mr. Potter.' Dumbledore had performed a simple memory charm on her and she forgot that James was supposidly the one who had entered the infirmary.
James had never left her side.
Not in the whole course of the eight days Lily was out cold on a hospital bed did James move. Only to go to the bathroom. He was excused from classes. Meals had somehow been arranged to get delivered to the hospital wing, most likely care-of Dumbledore. Otherwise, James was permanently in that chair beside Lily's bed.
If you asked James why he did it, he would not be able to answer. You see, he didn't really know why he did it. He just sort of did. And usually, his only companion was Oz. [the red Gelato had been taken in by the MOM for questioning]
On the day of Lily's awakening, the first thing she said was, "Yes, I'm me again!" Which was soon followed by, "What are you doing here?"
James, not knowing the real reason, quickly muttered, " 'Cause Dumbledore told me to stay."
"Oh. Really. Well, how do I check out of this place. Madam Crinchee? I'm all better, can I go now?"
Madam Crinchee hurried into the room. "Miss Evans. You are better now? Well, the Headmaster told me to believe you when you woke up. You are to go to the Headmaster's office now, Miss Evans."
" 'Kay, thanks. By the way, how long have i been here?"
"Eight days."
"EIGHT DAYS? What did you do to me?" she demanded from James.
"I swear, I didn't do anything!" James shouted.
"Oh sure, Mr. Potter. Am I supposed to believe you? Like Dumbledore even told you to stay."
"Yeah! And how come Dumbledore trusts you so much?"
"Maybe because I'm a better student that you are?"
"Says who?"
"Not me." James and Lily turned to find Dumbledore walking in. "Are you okay, Lily?"
"Yes, Professor. Do I still need to go to your office? I mean, you're here and everything..."
"You can just go to your dormitory, Miss Evans. I'll see you at dinner."
''Okay." She threw a snotty look at James, who didn't do anything back. Under normal circumstances, he would have shot back an equally snotty expression. But these weren't normal circumstances at all.
"Um, James. I see Lily is as relieved as you are that she is 'alive' again."
James was a little surprised to find Dumbledore at a loss for words, but replied anyway. "Yeah."
Wistfully, he left the infirmary, dragging his feet behind him.
He didn't notice the blue Gelato following him into his dorm room, peering in on all of the thoughts going through his head..
