Lilygurl88- I explain where Remus was later in the chapter. I read your story and it was very good, so keep writing.
'It's all my fault'
When James reached the Infirmary, he rushed to Mme. Pomfrey.
"Mme. Pomfrey. You have to help her." James yelled as Mme. Pomfrey took Lily out of James' arms.
"Oh God. What happened to her?" the nurse demanded.
"I played a prank on her, and I guess we went too far, and then, " James couldn't continue. "Please, tell me that she will be alright. She's too perfect to die. Oh God! What have I done. Its all my fault."
"Calm down, Mr. Potter. Now, leave me alone while I work. Go!" Mme. Pomfrey ordered.
James reluctantly exited the infirmary, and decided to walk out down by the lake. As he reached a Weeping Willow by the shore, James realized that this was Lily's favorite spot to get away from life.
'I know so much about her. I didn't even realize it. If she dies, its all my fault.' James thought as he sat down under the protection of the branches. He realized that he was dead tired, but he didn't feel like going inside. So, James Potter fell asleep by the shore.
The next thing that James remembered was Sirius prodding him in the side with a stick.
As James opened his eyes, Sirius declared, " Yeah, he's not dead."
"Will you just shut up, Sirius?" James agitatedly said. He was not in the mood for jokes.
"Hey James," Remus said, desperate for conversation, " did you hear about Evans? They say that she cut herself. That prank probably wasn't the best idea."
As James was reminded of Lily, not that he could forget, he got up and ran back into the castle. When he finally made his way to the Infirmary, saw Mme. Pomfrey.
"Mr. Potter. What are you doing here? Oh wait. Let me guess. Lily Evans." Mme. Pomfrey guessed as she saw James.
"How is she?" was all that James managed to get out.
"She'll live. You can see her if you want. She's in the last bed, the one with the curtains around it." Mme. Pomfrey said, with a knowing look in her eyes.
James slowly made his way to Lily's bed. As he pulled open the curtains, he couldn't help but think how beautiful Lily was when she slept. A small smile made its way to James' lips, and he didn't try to hide it.
Lily slowly opened her eyes to the site of James Potter, looking at her with a smile on his face. Realization dawned on her as she saw tears falling from his face.
"Hey" was all she said.
"Hey." Was all that was said back.
A questioning expression crossed over Lily's face and she asked, "What are you doing here?"
All he could say was a simple, 'I'm so sorry.'
That was all that it took for Lily to smile.
He continued, " Its all my fault."
Lily smiled and put her finger on his mouth to shush him.
She then said, " Do you realize how cute you are when you care?" And with that James bent down over Lily and gently placed his lips on hers. That small kiss started something. True love.
*********
Every night for the rest of the week, as Lily wasn't allowed out of the Hospital wing, James visited Lily under his invisibility cloak. He never told his friends where he went every night.
They talked about everything and anything. From school to gossip. That week Lily and James grew so close that by the time Lily was let out of the Hospital wing, James escorted her, hand in hand, back to the Griffindor common room.
When they reached the entrance, James asked Lily a very important question.
"Hey Lily." He asked.
"Yeah." Lily replied.
"Do you want me to tell my friends? I don't care anymore if people know that I like you. If you want me to tell them, I will." James asked hurriedly.
"James, I don't care. It's up to you. I would tell my friends, but theres one problem." Lily replied.
"And that is?" James countered.
"I don't have any." Lily looked down as she said this.
"Hey. Don't say that. I will always be your friend, even if things between us don't turn out. And I'm sure that the guys will love you once they get to know you." James assured her.
"You only became my friend because of what I did. They weren't there. They don't know. Sirius and Peter and Remus don't know anything." Lily replied.
"Oh Lily. Remus didn't have anything to do with the prank. He was working on his Potions essay. He didn't even know about it. Don't be hard on him. Do whatever you want on Sirius and Peter, but not Remus."
"I hope I don't have to remind you that you are very cute when you care, and when you worry." Lily said.
And with that Lily leaned in to kiss James. Their kiss was passionate, and full of love. I would have been perfect if only the portrait of the fat lady had not opened, revealing an angry Sirius Black, and a confused Remus Lupin ( Peter was playing with himself, as no one would want him.)

Until next time . . .
Good Bye everyone.
