Chapter Eight
James lowly got to his feet a look of utter bewilderment on his face, how could his lily be that things daughter. His sweet loving Lily was nothing like that monster. He appeared to gather his thoughts together and rushed towards Lily's still form.
He knelt at her side and checked her pulse, it was fait but at least it was there. 'I have to get her to the hospital wing' he thought to himself. He picked her up, surprised at how light she felt, he laid a kiss on her forehead and whispered,
"My poor, poor Lily, how long has this been eating you up inside?"
James walked as quickly as he could towards the hospital wing. He burst through the door and was met by a very surprised Madam Pomfrey.
"James what's going on" she gushed. James had a split second to make a desion what to tell her. He decided against the truth.
"Lily… well there is something wrong with Lily. We were talking and she said she didn't feel well and she just passed out. I didn't know what to do. So I brought her here." James laid Lily down on ones of the beds.
"Well you did the right thing." Madam Pomfrey said as she rushed around tending to Lily, "maybe you should wait outside"
James reluctantly went out to the corridor.
Sirius came bounding along the corridor, if James hadn't been so worried about Lily he would have laughed; Sirius was getting more and more like his Animagus form every day. Sirius wore a worried expression.
"Did you find her?" He asked then looked at where they were standing, "Oh my god! Is she OK? What happened?" James was tempted to tell Sirius what he had just seen in the forest but something held him back, 'Lily wouldn't want people to know.' He realised.
"She fell and bashed her head." James told his best friend, inwardly wincing that he had just lied to the one person he thought he could tell everything to. And it was a lousy lie at that. But Sirius took him to his word and didn't question James' explanation, assuming that James would have had to reason top lie to him.
James looked down at his watch.
"You're going to be late for Transfiguration," he told Sirius
"So will you."
"I'm not going, I am waiting here till Lily wakes up."
"I'll wait with you then."
"No" James said a little bit to quickly, "they won't allow two people to miss class for this, one they would understand but not two." 'Plus if she wakes up and freaks about what had happened I want to be the only person there.' He added silently. Sirius nodded.
"Ok then, if you are sure you don't need the company. I'll be sure to get you lots of Homework" He smiled wickedly. James managed a playful grimance at his friends parting comment even though he felt as if something was eating up his guts. He watched Sirius bound away while he waited for Madame Pomfrey to call him back in.
