Chapter 7
All three girls felt a tap on their shoulders, and quickly turned around to find none there.
"What the hell was that, did you guys feel that?" asked Lily.
"I don't know what that was. It was weird though I swear someone tapped me on the shoulder." said Emilia.
"Yeah weird. But anywho where are the guys?" asked Tabby.
"We're right here said a voice, from behind the girls. The girls turned around to find no one again.
"OKAY. This is officially started to freak me out." Said Emilia.
"Yeah me too." agreed Tabby.
"Yeah.... wait a minute. Do you guys hear that, it sounds like snickering coming from right over hear." said Lily walking over to the sound and punching it really hard.
"OOOFF!" said James. "What did you do that for?" he said taking off the invisibility cloak revealing Sirius and Remus.
"I did it because I knew u were there. I remembered you telling about this cloak and you guys snicker so loud, I heard and took a punch. I thought it was Sirius. Sorry James." Explained Lily.
"Aww it's okay." replied James.
"Okay lets go dance!" said Tabby grabbing Sirius's hand and leading him to the portrait door.
They were one of he first groups to arrive.
"WOW!" said Emilia. " You and James did an excellent job. It looks fantastic."
"Thanx." said Lily and James together.
"Yeah! You guys did an excellent job," said Tabby, nudging Sirius to say something about the hall.
"Ouch! … Oh yeah it looks great guys." said Sirius rubbing his side. Tabby smiled and kissed him. "You can hurt me anytime," he said to Tabby, kissing her back.
"Umm...er guys.." said Remus.
"AHEM!" said Mrs.Macgonall. "Will you two stop showing off emotion and set a good example for the young kids."
"Oh... sorry Mrs. Macgonall. We wont do it anymore," said Tabby quickly.
"I hope so," said Mrs. macgonall, and with that she turned and walked away.
"Why didn't you guys say something?" said Sirius a bit mad.
"I tried but it was already too late." explained Remus.
"Anywho lets get this party started!" announced Lily.
The ball went smoothly, nothing happened, that is still Snape asked Lily to dance.
"No!" said Lily sternly.
"Well I don't care what you say. You're dancing with me and that's that." he said grabbing her and dragging her to the dance floor. Lily tried to get away from him but he had too strong of a grip.
"Hey have you guys seen Lily" James asked his friends.
"No, maybe she's dancing with someone," said Sirius.
"Okay, thanks, I'll go and look." James said, starting to walk towards the dance floor. And sure enough there was Lily dancing with SNAPE, what in hell is she dancing with him for. That bastard.
"James!" Lily cried out. "Help me!" James strode over and punched Snape in the nose, then he grabbed Lily and they walked out onto the balcony.
"Thanks James." Lily said and then kissed James on his cheek. James then went to hold Lily's hand.
"OUCH!" yelped Lily.
"OH I'm sorry Lily, I didn't mean to," he said looking at her.
"No its wasn't you, my wrists really hurt," she said rubbing them.
"Let me look at them" he said with a concerned look.
"No. They're fine, just a little sore. That's all," she said hiding her hands in her robes.
"Lily, just show me you hands!" he said sternly. She gave up and showed him her hands. She would only let him see the tops of her hands though.
"Oh my gawd! Lily you're wrists are all bruised. I'm going to kill Snape! Let me see the other side of them. Lily, let me see the other side of them." He said getting worried.
"They look the same as they do on the top," she said with a single tear running down her face.
"Lily, are you hiding something from me? Other wise you would let me see the other side of you wrists." He said concerned now.
"NO! I am not. Now let go of me your hurting me!" she said getting weak. But James wouldn't give up so he grabbed Lily's arms by the elbow and turned them over and what he saw made his eyes and water and his brain ask questions.
"Lily, what is that on your wrists. It looks like someone cut them." James said, he was going ask more questions but Lily shook herself out of his grip and ran away. "LILY! Come back here!" he yelled. He ran after her.
~~¤¤~~
Lily was a pretty fast runner; she could out run anyone, even James. Why did he have to try and hold my hand? None of this would have happened if he would just keep his distance. Lily thought to herself as she ran to her tower.
~~¤¤~~
What is going on with Lily? Why are her wrists slit? Oh my god she isn't... James thought running after to her. He could catch up if he knew where she was going. They both ran to the tower. Lily said the password and ran up to her dorm. James just made it before the fat lady closed. He ran up to the girls dorm and threw the door open.
"Lily what the hell is going on with you?" he asked looking around the room. She wasn't there. He looked in the bathroom and under the bed. She was nowhere to be seen. He went out onto the balcony and looked around. As he started to walk back into the room he noticed a ladder off to the side of the door. He climbed up the ladder, and there was Lily with her arms wrapped around her knees, crying. He slowly walked over to her and sat down beside her.
"Lily." he said quietly. "Whets going on with you??"
"Nothing." she said between sobs
"Yes there is either wise you wouldn't have run away like that," he said rubbing her back.
"Just leave me alone Potter." she said and got up and walked away. James wasn't going to give up that easy. He walked after her, turned her around and hugged her. They hugged for along time. They did not talk until Lily broke the silence.
"James you have to help me," she said. "I think I have a problem.
"What is it??" he said willing to do anything for her.
"Well those slits are from me, I was hurting myself, but I didn't have the courage to actually kill myself, I cant stop, every time something goes wrong, I do it. You guys have never noticed because I wear long sleeved robes all the time. But I want it to stop. You have got to help me," she said looking into his eyes.
"Well what should I do?" he asked her.
"I don't know, I guess watch me closely. That's all I can think of." she said.
"Then that's what I will do." he said kissing the top of Lily's head. " Lets go back down now, and enjoy the rest of the evening."
"Yes lets." said Lily. James went down the ladder first and then Lily, but then Lily got a burst of pain though her wrists and she fell off the ladder. She landed on the balcony, unconscious.
"Lily speak to me!" he said trying to get Lily awake. " LILY!" c'mon wake up. ARRG!!! What was that levitating spell? Just then Tabby and Sirius walked in.
"Tabby, Sirius help!" yelled James. "She fell off the ladder and I can't remember the levitating spell." Tabby flew over towards Lily "LEVATOA!" yelled Tabby pointing at Lily and Lily slowing floating up.
"C'mon lets take her to Madame Promfrey."
"Hey how did you do that, you don't even have wand?" asked Sirius, as they were walking to Madame Promfrey.
"Well... er... all witches have special powers you see. I can do magic without my wand, Lily can see into the future and well Emilia can go transparent. That's about it in a nut shell." Tabby explained.
"O I see." she Sirius a bit confused.
"What happened?!" exclaimed Madame Promfrey.
"She fell off a ladder." said James. " And she wont wake up."
"Okay well quickly, put her on a bed." said Madame
"I hope Lily's all right." said Tabby crying on Sirius shoulder.
"Me too, me too." Sirius said rubbing her back. James was sitting beside Lily holding her hand. oh god please let her be alright. I'll do anything just let her be all right.
"Okay well it seems that Lily is fine, but she wont be waking up anytime soon, she has slipped into a coma. All we can do for her now is wait." said Madame Promfrey looking at Lily. "What happened to her wrists? They are all bruised and slit!"
"It nothing Snape was harassing her and was holding her wrists to tight. That's all," said James.
"Yes but how can you explain the slits." she asked James.
"Umm... er... I can't," he said trying to think of something to say.
"Spit it out Mr. Potter." said Madame Promfrey.
"She cuts herself ever time something bad goes wrong. She told me she can't stop it, like its some kind of illness. I only found out tonight." James explained.
"Oh my word!" said Madame Promfrey.
"What. O my lord. I knew something was up she would always go into the bathroom and cry, but I never thought she was hurting herself. It's all my fault, I should of asked her what's wrong and I didn't," she said crying even harder in Sirius shoulder.
"No it' not your fault , it's an illness that Lily has. It's okay she'll be okay," said Sirius as he hugged Tabby.
"I hope so," sobbed Tabby.
"Is she alright, is she gonna live. Oh my god Lily." Emilia said frantically.
"Shh. she's fine, she's in a coma right now." said Sirius.
"What happened to her wrists?" asked Remus. So they all told Emilia and Remus what had happened.
"Oh my god, poor Lily." said Emilia now crying on Remus. The gang sat there the rest of the night until Madame came and said it was time to go back to their dorms. But James refused to leave Lily.
"Oh all right Mr. potter, you may stay here with her." said Madame. " the rest of you can come back in the morning." and with that she shooed everyone out of the hospital wing.
The next morning James woke to find his friends back in the hospital wing.
"Hey James you up. Here we brought you some breakfast." said Emilia.
"Thanks." James said with a mouth full of food. "Oh god today is the day that everybody goes back for the holidays."
"Yeah I know, but we're not leaving. We're going to stay right here with you and Lily," said Tabby. "Cuz that's what friends do."
"Thanks Guys," said James.
~~¤¤~~
[Christmas morning]
James woke to the sounds of rustling. He opened his eyes to find his friends dragging in a Christmas tree and presents.
"Merry Christmas guys." James said sleepily.
"Merry Christmas," they all said together.
"Wha- who are you people?" came a soft and confused voice.
(well I hoped you guys liked that chappie. I'll try and write chapter 8 soon , but I'm sorry if I make you wait again. Well until chap 8. Megs) remember to keep on reviewing.
