The group was awaken the next morning by Dumbledore, he said that Lily was still sleeping but would be fine, she had suffered from a mild hyperthermia, but Beccy had done the right thing by pulling her out of the lake so quickly and James for bringing her up to the hospital wing.
Aurora, James and Beccy all received house 50 points to Gryffindor for their bravery. They were allowed to see Lily after breakfast. Lily woke up to the white curtains and walls of the hospital wing and for a while couldn't work out where she was, the events of yesterday still fresh in her mind she sat up and realised she was in the hospital wing, shrieking she tried to get out of bed but found she couldn't move past her current position with out getting extremely dizzy.
Madam Pomfrey said nothing about her efforts to commit suicide but instead was being really very nice, it was scaring Lily, all she wanted in the entire world was for her mother to sit next to her, give her a hug and tell her everything will be alright. But her mother was dead and her friends probably wouldn't speak to her again after yesterday, or so she thought.
Aurora, Beccy and Bella almost sprinted into the hospital wing after breakfast, all in a tremendous hurry to see if Lily was handling everything ok, the conversation that was overheard, wasn't very pleasant.
"Lily," asked Professor Dumbledore "Why did you attempt to commit suicide? I know you don't want to talk about this, but you must tell me why."
"My parents are dead and it's all my fault, if only I hadn't gone to Hogwarts and I wasn't a witch, they would still be here. Alive and happy." whispered Lily
"You don't believe that do you? Lord Voldemort is a strange man, his mind works in peculiar ways and no one really understands what his aim is.He had killed countless muggles and I guess he likes to see everyone, mostly young witches and wizards suffer, just as much as he did. You are very important to the magical community, you destiny is already mapped out for you, but at the moment you are a danger to all who are close to you."
"But..."
"No buts young lady, you know that if you don't snap out of this negative attitude you will end up dead. I want you to try and come to terms with your parents' death, if you must talk to Arabella I believe you know her? She is very advanced in divination and knows almost everything about you, she knows what you are going through, her parents and brother were the others killed that fateful night your parents were found dead, I know you don't want anyone to know this but you must stop hurting, I can't stress how important this is, I know no one wants to lose you, you are very valuable, please stop trying to hurt yourself."
With that he stood up, wished Lily a good day and walked out of the hospital wing. The choking sobs coming from within the curtains told the girls that Lily had started to cry again. Bella, Beccy and Aurora rushed in and Bella and Aurora gave Lily a comforting hug, Beccy stood back looking sad.
"I am sorry," she whispered "He hurts so many people, he used to be different, but when my mum died, he changed, he got mean and evil." Beccy trailed off leaving the girls to look at her in wonder.
Lily got a hold of herself and said "I'm so sorry for putting you through all this, but I still can't get over how terrified they looked, I was the first to find them, I can still see that image flying through my mind, it is a shocking state to see your parents in, lifeless and knowing that you led a dark wizard to them."
Madam Pomfrey decided at that moment to walk in and tell Lily that she could leave, Aurora helped Lily into some robes and helped her out of the bed, then Lily said to Beccy "I know I am acting strange at the moment but I think that I have to think about this and process it, maybe I should buy a pensive or diary. But I don't want to say something I might regret, because you all are great friends, and at least know that I will still have someone to talk to."
Beccy smiled and said, "That's true!" The girls linked arms and half carried lily back to the common room, They sat around the fire again, letting Lily read out aloud a bit of the secret garden, when she noticed that Bella and Remus were playing chess, James, Sirius and Aurora were chasing each other around the common room and Beccy was absentmindly playing with her hair and staring out the window, Lily sighed and went back to reading in her mind.
Beccy got up and walked out of the Common room, only Lily noticed and looked at her curiously, Beccy half smiled and continued her walking. She reached the potions lab and waited outside for Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy and their cronies to arrive, when they did she looked each of the carefully in the eyes and said, "She is closer than ever to death, we must not let my dad get to her, if we do, then surely we have no hope"
Malfoy added "But we are supposed to do what he says, he is the master"
"Yeah and I am the masters daughter," Beccy said her eyes glowing red and her face narrowing "I hate having to use my powers to get my way, but if it must be the I will do it"
"You know something? I never worked out why you were never in Slytherin, if your Masters daughter shouldn't you have been put there?"
"The sorting hat was trying to put me in Slytherin, but I was already good friends with Bella and wanted to be put with her, the hat agreed if you have a problem with that take it up with your master or professor Dumbledore"
The Slytherins slunk back off to their common room and Beccy walked back to hers, when she reached it she said the password 'Banana' and climbed through the portrait, Lily saw the colour of Beccy's eyes and gasped, the rest of the common room turned and looked at Beccy, whose eyes were still glowing red. They slowly started to change back, and she walked past most of the common room and up to the dorm.
Lily, Bella and Aurora followed after telling everyone to "Stop gawking and get back to what you were doing" Once they were in the girls' dorm Bella shut and locked the door, Aurora sat on the bed next to Beccy and Lily stood behind her. Bella spoke first.
"Beccy, honey, your eyes were glowing red, last time that happened." Bella broke off leaving her words to linger in the air.
