Chapter Five
Boy's dorm room ~
"Sirius, are you all right? I mean nothing bad has happened, right?" asked Remus, as he cautiously entered the room.
Sirius glared at the intruder, but his gaze softened when he realized it was his friend. He thrust his broom in front of Remus and waited for the reply.….
"What…..happened?" asked a VERY confused Remus.
"Well, let's see, I was going to get my broom to play Quidditch with you guys, but now it doesn't seem possible."
"It still functions properly, right?"
Before Sirius could reply, James entered and looked around. His eyes widened when he saw the broom.
"What the bloody hell?" started James, "Why is your broom bloody pink?!"
"Ask the girls."
Back in the hall ~
Lily and Xeria raced down the corridors as fast as they could when the boys entered their dorms. They knew it wouldn't be long when they found out what Xeria had done for revenge. Peter, who was confused, stayed by the boy's dorm; in hopes that the boys would come out and explain it to him.
They stopped for a breath and began giggling uncontrollably. Wondering where they were, Lily peeked around the corner and let out a silent gasp. They were just five classrooms away. James was leading.
"Lily, Xeria, payback time," said James, in a singsong voice.
She motioned for Xeria to hurry and they sneaked off to another hall. Suddenly, Lily felt a sharp pain on her shoulder and looked down to see her whole arm bloody. Then she fainted.
James and his friends hurried over when they heard Xeria's shriek. He looked at Lily in surprise, expecting her to jump at them. But what he saw, compared to nothing he had ever imagined. There was Lily, her whole arm coated with bloody red and dripping to the floor. Xeria was looking around frantically; she spotted James.
"James! Don't just stand there! Get help!"
Without thinking, he strolled over and picked Lily up. Carefully, he took her to Madame Pomfrey. As he walked through the halls, the blood flowed faster. He stopped once to rip a piece of cloth from his robe and banded it around Lily's bleeding arm. It soaked up quickly, and he added another layer. When the bleeding slowed down, he continued the path toward the nurse again. Every once in a while, he would glance at her, and finally, not noticing, he reached the nurse's door. Madame Pomfrey popped out to see the bloody Lily and quickly ushered them inside. The nurse checked her over and shook her head sadly.
"James, if you want to know, Lily isn't going to be waking up any time soon. You might as well go back to your dorm and rest."
The door opened to reveal Xeria, Sirius, and Remus. Madame Pomfrey scowled.
"Okay, enough of this! Two of you can stay, but the rest has to go!"
The group agreed on letting James and Xeria stay by Lily's bed, and the rest trudged back to their own rooms, slowly.
"Come on, you two! Out, out!"
Sirius and Remus picked up their pace and ran out.
One month later ~
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hurried you guys. Without me, you guys could have avoided the injury."
Suddenly, James sat up.
"Are you sure that it was an 'accident'?"
Xeria caught on and her eyes lit up.
"Should we take a stroll?"
Back to the place where Lily's injury took place ~
Both of them hunted around for clues when James spotted a dash of silver. He walked over and picked it up. The thin piece of silver that he was holding was no more than a millimeter wide, but was two inches long. His eyes examined it.
"James! Look what I've found!"
Xeria held up a gold ear ring and scrutinized it.
"I may be imagining it, but I swear that it says 'Hufflepuff'!"
"What?!"
Girl's dorm ~
Xeria had fallen asleep after the hard 'detective work' and woke up to see green eyes hovering above her.
"Ahhh! It's a ghost!"
Lily patted her friend's back, trying to calm her down.
Xeria turned serious and turned to face Lily, "When did you wake up?"
"A few minutes after you guys left."
"How'd you know?"
"Well, apart from the door closing and Madame Pomfrey telling me, I have my secret ways."
Xeria punched Lily's arm playfully.
"Ow!"
"Oops, forgot. Sorry."
Lily glared at her.
Lunch ~
James stared dully at the Hufflepuff table, having nothing else to do. Sirius and Peter were discussing about the types of food. Several girls thought that he was looking at them and started flirting with him. James glared back in distaste. Not taking the hint, they continued.
He's eyes traveled around the room again and landed on a redhead. Lily! Is she okay? I hope she isn't mad at me. thought James. As if to answer him, Lily flashed him a mischievous grin. Unnoticed by anyone, a certain Hufflepuff glared at them.
Charms ~
"So, how are you doing, Lily?" asked James, nervously.
"Apart from having to be nursed for a month, yeah, I'm alright."
James looked at the girl, bewildered. Was she mad at him or not? Lily turned her attention back to the front of the room. Her forest-green bandana facing his face again.
"Hello, can I sit here?"
James looked up. A girl with chestnut brown hair and deep blue eyes stared back. Her hair was cropped short and she had freckles all over her cheeks.
"Yeah, go on."
He turned his eyes back toward Lily when a small hand tapped his shoulder. Distracted, he turned to face the new girl again.
"Would you like to be my partner, for the new project I mean."
Is she ever going to stop bothering me?
"No, sorry, Sirius already asked me."
Sirius turned, hearing his name.
"Wha….."
"Right, Sirius, I'm your partner, remember?"
Sensing his friend's discomfort he nodded. The little girl dropped her eyes to the desk in front of her and sat silently for the rest of the class.
After Charms ~
An extremely good-looking guy with brown hair (A/N: Imagine Remus's hair, except lighter) walked up to Lily. She looked up and stared, confused. He was one foot taller than she was.
"Hi, I'm Santen Jaccs, from Slytherin? I'm not as ignorant as the rest and though they might not say it, quite a few boys adore you from there." He flashed her a shy grin.
"So?"
"Out of my curiousity, I want to ask you something."
"What?"
"Would you go on a date with a Slytherin?"
A/N: SORRY! I just had to do a cliffie! Maybe you'll find her answer on the next chapter, or discover who her attacker is…. although you might have a good idea already. Does this chapter sort of hint that James likes Lily? I hope it didn't. Well, BUBBIE, and see you in the next chappie!!!!! Oh, yeah, don't forget to REVIEW……..
