WATCHING LILY FALL
With only six weeks till the end of the year life at Hogwart's took on a frenzied pace. The entire student body was studying for the end of year exams and the Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch teams were training hard for the final match of the season. The sun shone brightly which caused more trouble for the Marauder's, who were being held captive by their female counter parts.
"Please can we go out side…We've been studying for the last two hours" Sirius whined at Aggy, who had been assigned as his study partner.
Rolling her eyes at him "Sirius act your age and stop whining like a two year old…We are not going anywhere until we have finished this" and she pointed at the potions revision.
Sat at the other end of the table Lily wasn't have much more luck with James. "James if you would stop staring at the window we would have finished this by now"
"But Lily I hate charms and we could be having a Quidditch practice" moaned James.
Remus and Marie were discussing defence against the dark arts and oblivious to the grumbling of the others. Peter was studying alone curled up in the chair near the fire and Annie had taken herself off to the library to meet Danny. This was a regular scene in the Gryffindor tower as the girls had been forcing the boys to do revision for the last two weeks.
As the study session came to an end James and Sirius dragged Lily and Aggy out to meet the rest of the Gryffindor team for another practice.
In the changing room James surveyed his team for a moment and then said "Ok everybody listen up". Pausing to make sure they were all looking at him "Tomorrow is the big game so we need to really focus today…No messing about" he shot a look in Sirius' direction. And he motioned for them all to go out.
Two hours later seven very tired Gryffindor's struggled back through the portrait and into the common room. They all headed off to the dorms to get cleaned up for dinner. The great hall was a live with the talk of the big Quidditch game, the Gryffindor team getting shouts of encouragement and luck from the Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's as well as from the rest of the Gryffindor house.
By 10 O'clock all the Gryffindor players had been herded into their dorms by their team captain, who collapsed onto his own bed once the task was done. James decided that he would do a little more research on the chastity charm before going to sleep.
****************************************************************
The Gryffindor's soon found themselves stood waiting in the tunnel leading up to the Quidditch pitch tensions were high and the seeker looked positively ill. Noticing the look on the boy's face Lily moved a little closer to him.
Smiling at the second year Lily thought I wonder if all Weasley's have red hair "Robert…Don't worry…just do your best" and she ruffled his hair. At that moment the doors opened, they mounted their brooms and flew into the sun-drenched arena.
From high up in the stands Annie's voice boomed down "Gryffindor take to the field lead by their captain and chaser James Potter, closely followed by Lily Evans and Adam Bell. Sirius Black and Aggy Court are the impressive Gryffindor beaters and flying over to the goal is Lance Brown keeper and finally Robert Weasley the Gryffindor seeker". The Gryffindor's flew around the stands waving to huge roars of applause and cheers. As the Slytherin team took to the air the noise in the stadium subsided and only cheers from one side could be heard. Annie announced "The Slytherin team is as follows Chasers Flint, Malfoy (Captain) and Snape; Beaters Goyle and Crabbe; Keeper Bulstrode; Seeker Zabini"
Annie bellowed over the noise of the crowd and the game was soon underway. Madame Turner blew the whistle and released the quaffle. Robert was following the orders of his captain and staying out of the way, he circled way above the rest keeping a constant vigil for the illusive golden snitch. The game began fast and furious James scooped up the quaffle as it was released and headed for the Slytherin goal. Closely on his heals were the other two Gryffindor chasers, they quickly got into the Hawkshead attacking formation with James in the middle. Steaming towards the Slytherin's the Gryffindor Chasers broke apart at the last moment, James flicked the quaffle to Lily and she skimmed under Malfoy and darted around the keeper.
The scream of "Gryffindor score" followed by a loud "Woohow" came from the commentator.
Flying back towards the centre lily came up along side Malfoy and said "Get use to it Malfoy" and smiled at him.
Malfoy sneered at her and thought You will regret that mudblood…before this game is over…you will pay
The game continued at a tremendous pace and it wasn't long before the score was Gryffindor 80 Slytherin 30.
"Slytherin have the quaffle…Snape passes to Malfoy"
Malfoy managed to dodge the bludger that Aggy had knocked his way and he turned to find his path blocked by Bell, forcing Malfoy to pull up sharp. Malfoy noticed Flint to his right and spun the quaffle towards the waiting chaser unaware that Lily was directly below him. As he released the quaffle an out stretched arm plucked it from the air and its intended target. Leaning forward the quaffle tightly clutched under her arm Lily headed for the Slytherin goalposts. As she neared the target a bludger winged past her clipping her shoulder knocking her off course slightly. Glancing sideways she signalled to Bell left switching the quaffle and watching him shout past her on her right side and then James perform the same move in reverse and score. As James flew away from the goalposts Goyle swung a bludger right into his back causing James to loose his grip and control of his broom. Gasps from the crowd alerted the rest of the Gryffindor team that their captain was in trouble and Bell and Evans speeded over to right James and he called for a time out.
At one side of the pitch the Gryffindor's were planning the next play and James stretched to try and ease the pain caused by the bludger. But at the other end the Slytherin's were planning a different kind of attack.
Madame Turner blew the whistle and the game got underway again, with Slytherin taking possession of the quaffle and scoring. For the next ten minutes the game went the Slytherin's way and they scored twice more. Bringing the score to Gryffindor 90 and Slytherin 60.
Adam Bell took the quaffle and zoomed down the left side glancing at the shadow that was following him knowing that at any moment Lily would pop up at his side and that James was waiting for them at the Slytherin goal posts. Lily watched as a bludger came beating towards them swerving to avoid it and came up along side Adam smiling at him. Passing the quaffle between each other ducking and diving between the on coming bludger's and Slytherin's.
At that moment the Gryffindor seeker caught sight of a glint of gold and sped towards it but at the other end of the pitch a different battle was taking place.
The play was under way and Adam passed to Lily and then chased around to the other side of her, Crabbe and Goyle took this opportunity to hustle Lily. Sandwiched between the two huge beaters Lily was in trouble more than she realised. Goyle broke to the left and was replaced by Malfoy who was close enough to Lily that his knee brushed hers.
An evil grin on his face he said "Hope you can fly without that broom" and he turned to look if everything was set.
Lily noticed Snape coming into the position that Crabbe had been in and she felt a little relief. Malfoy watching the beaters moved to come along side Snape as the two bludgers' flew towards the trio. Timing was crucial and Malfoy judge it perfectly, nudging Snape.
Severus Snape ploughed into the side of Lily and knocked her right into the path of the on coming bludger's. Both of them hit Lily at the exact same moment as the stadium erupted with screams and applause and Annie's voice boomed "Gryffindor wins…Weasley caught the snitch…Gryffindor Wins".
Turning back to the pitch to announce the final score Annie stood frozen for a second at the sight of her friend plummeting towards the ground. In a split second Annie screamed "LILY…OH MY GOD…HELP!" At the sound the entire stadium was brought back to earth as they watched the horrifying scene of Lily Evans falling through the air. James was speeding towards Lily from one side and Sirius was heading towards her from the other, with the whole population of Hogwart's watching the chase wondering if they would get to her in time.
Five foot from the ground Lily's fall was broken as her limp body collided with James and Sirius, knocking the two male students from their brooms. Lily landed on top of them and the three lay motionless for a couple of seconds. Groaning from the fall James move slightly and Sirius' eyes opened and the pair manoeuvred Lily so that she lay on the ground.
Staring down at Lily James said "What the hell happened?…How did she fall?"
Sirius shrugged "Last thing I saw was Snape coming along side her"
It wasn't long before teachers surrounded the students and Lily was being transported to the hospital wing. James followed leaving Sirius to sort out the rest of the team and to try and find out exactly what had happened.
*************************************************************
Lily had been in the hospital wing for twenty-four hours and had not regained consciousness. Professor Dumbledore had allowed James to stay with her and he had slept in a chair resting his head on her bed never letting go of her hand. The others had taken it in turns to visit Lily and comfort James. Watching James in pain was hard for Sirius to deal with and his frustration at not being able to solve the problem was eating into him.
Later that night Sirius bounded around the Gryffindor common room only Remus, Peter, Aggy, Marie and Annie had stayed the rest of the students had decided it was safer to go to their dorms. Marie had tried to get close to him but he had brushed her off a glint of evil was flashing in his eyes. Every now and again some thing would smash against one of the walls and Sirius would follow it with a string of expletives.
Sirius moved over to Aggy sneering at he "You let her trust Snape…He nearly bloody killed her today…When will you girls learn not to trust bloody Slytherin's"
For the first time in her life Aggy actually held her tongue something in Sirius's eyes told her that confronting him would be a bad idea. She had never seen him this mad.
Remus grabbed hold of his friend "Sirius…This is not her fault" as Sirius struggled against being constrained "Calm down…Padfoot please…this is not helping" and Remus looked into his friends eyes.
Sirius broke and Remus hugged him "I'm sorry" and stepping away from Remus "I'm alright…Thanks Moony"
A serious look flashed over his face and Remus said "Sirius I need to know that you will not do anything stupid"
The meaning behind Remus' words dawned on Sirius "Oh shit…Its nearly time for you to go" and a wave of guilt spread over him. "Moony I'm sorry…I've been taking my frustration out on you guys without thinking about any of you" looking at the others he said "I'm sorry".
Marie stood up and went over to him, the pair of teenagers stood hugging in the common room for a long time.
The following afternoon the sixth year Gryffindor's found them selves up in the Hospital wing. Aggy gave Remus a last kiss and she held him in a tight embrace until Madame Pomfrey touched Remus' elbow "It is time to go" and she lead him from the room.
Stood in the corridor hiding in the shadows' unseen was Severus Snape.
********************************************************
It had been nearly two days since Lily had been hit by the bludgers' and had nearly fallen to her death. James was not faring to well, Madame Pomfrey had only managed to get him to eat a little chocolate since the incident and she had not been able to persuade him to leave the hospital wing for a moment.
The rest of the sixth year Gryffindor students carried on in body only, the went to the great hall attended classes and went up to the hospital wing every opportunity they got.
Aggy sat curled up in a chair in the Gryffindor common room and thought two more days and Remus will be back…I really miss him when he has to go to the Shack. Opposite her was Annie reading a book and Marie and Sirius were sat on the sofa.
Sirius thought need to do something and he gave Marie a squeeze "I think I'll nip down to the kitchens and pick up some supplies" noticing the worried glances "Its alright…I won't do anything stupid" watching the girls nod he got up and headed for the portrait.
Walking down the corridor he wished he had gone and got James' cloak. He made it to the kitchens with no trouble and tickling the pair he entered and was immediately surrounded by house elves. Within five minutes they had handed him a basket filled with all sorts of goodies. Thanking them he quickly headed back to the common room.
Sirius came around the last corner and saw the fat lady's portrait, walking up to her and smiling he was about to give her the password when he heard some one sneeze. Sirius put the basket down and slid along the wall in the direction of the sound, reaching out his hand he grabbed hold of the front of a set of robes.
Pulling the body towards him he caught sight of his prey "What the bloody hell are you doing?" but the boy he was holding just spluttered "You have some nerve coming round here after what you have done"
"Get your bloody hands off me Black" the tall boy sneered "I have not done anything"
Sirius dragged Snape closer almost nose to nose "You almost killed Lily you arrogant shit"
Snape's eyes narrowed "Oh get real…If you and your bunch of idiotic friends left her alone she would be alright…Potter is pathetic…Lupin has done his usual disappearing act and you don't deserve to even breath"
Sirius lost it and head butted Snape but then a thought came to him and he said "You want to know where Remus disappears to…Do you?" he leaned in closer to and whispered into the other boys ear.
Up in the hospital wing Lily opened her eyes, after a couple of seconds she remembered where she was and what had happened. Looking down she noticed a head full of black unruly hair and smiled, slowly she ran her fingers through the hair. James twitched and brushed his hand over his head. Turning to face her James smiled and raised up "Hello beautiful…Glad to have you back" and he kissed her.
A throat cleared causing the two teenagers to break apart both blushing as they looked at the mediwitch.
Smiling to her self, Madame Pomfrey said "If you could give me a moment Mr Potter so that I can check Miss Evans" and she waited for James to leave the room. After five minutes James was allowed to come back in. Madame Pomfrey left them alone as she went to get the pair some hot chocolate.
James held Lily and they talked about what had happened. After they had drunk the hot chocolate and talked some more. James said "I'd better go back to the common room and tell the others your awake." Kissing her he got up and left the hospital wing.
For the first time in two days James walked through the portrait into the Gryffindor common room, it was late but he was pleased to see his friends sitting in their usual spot. James smiled at the worried looking faces and sat onto the sofa.
James told them that Lily was ok and then explained to them that it was Malfoy who had caused her to fall.
Sirius ran his hands through his hair, looking at him James noticed him biting his bottom lip. "Padfoot she's alright" and he received a nod in reply "Padfoot what's wrong?"
"We thought it was Snape…Shit James…He's such a slimy git"
Being called James was a very worrying signed "What have you done Sirius?"
Sirius was now pacing "I may have let it slip where Remus disappears to every month". Sirius covered his face to shield him self from the look of horror. "I caught him up here earlier snooping about…He was his usual obnoxious self and I just lost it".
Before anybody could say anything else James was already running out of the common room. He shouted "Sirius go and get Dumbledore and I'll meet you at the Shack" and he was gone. Hoping to hell he got to Snape before Moony did.
Fifteen minutes later Sirius and Professor Dumbledore arrived at the Whomping willow just in time to see James pull a stunned looking Severus Snape out from beneath it.
As the two boys lay on the ground recovering from the under ground ordeal Professor Dumbledore said "I think it would be best for you to all follow me to my office" and with this he started to walk back towards the castle.
