A/N: Hi, peepz! How've ya been? I am OK. I only gained forty-five pounds on Thanksgiving, so it's all good. Lolzers, j/k. Anyways, here's Chapter Eight!
Chapter Eight: Hmm...What Should This Chapter Be Called? I Dunno.
When they entered the hospital wing, they saw Madame Pomfrey mending Bones', well, bones. They attempted to stifle their laughter at him as they pulled their chairs around Lily's bed. They didn't do too well, either.
"When d'you suppose she'll wake up, Sirius?" James asked. "My apologies are falling on deaf ears."
Remus gaped at James. "That made sense...and it was smart," he whispered to Peter. "How odd." Peter nodded vigorously.
"She'll wake up soon, James, don't worry." Sirius patted James on the back. "Don't worry." He said that last bit more to himself than to James.
One cold Saturday in December, the fourteenth to be precise, James was sitting on a chair next to Lily's bed, per usual. There was a Hogsmeade trip and Sirius, Remus, Aimie, and Peter had gone to go Christmas shopping. They tried to get James out of the hospital wing, but he wouldn't move. So they promised to buy him some Honeydukes candy and went on their way. They really needed to get out of the castle.
Lily opened her eyes. The light was blinding and she snapped them closed as quickly as possible. She had the most horrible headache. She cracked an eye when she heard someone humming to himself as their quill scratched the parchment it was writing on.
Then Lily realized who it was. "James, that you?" she whispered.
James' head snapped up. He had a look of disbelief on his face. "Lils! You're awake!"
"Huh?"
"You've been out of it for over a month," James explained. "Oh, Lily, I'm so glad you're awake." He hugged her and, without thinking about what the hell he was doing, kissed her.
Realizing what he had done, he let go of a stunned Lily Evans and muttered, "I'll go get Madame Pomfrey."
When the nurse came in, James said, "I'm going to go into Hogsmeade and find the others. I won't be long."
"SIRIUS! *SIRIUS*!"
"James? I thought you wanted to stay with Lils," Sirius said.
"Si, she woke up! Lily's awake!" James said happily.
The four shoppers dropped their candy (they were in Honeydukes) and ran out behind James.
"Lily!" Four voices shouted upon entering the Hospital Wing.
"Hello," Lily said casually. She was then engulfed in hugs.
"Hello? *Hello*? Is that all that you can say?" Sirius said in a mother-like tone.
"So," said Aimie, "why were you up in that tree in the first place, Lils?"
Lily's eyes misted over. "It was a letter that I got," she said slowly.
"What was it? Who was it from?" Sirius asked.
"Petunia," Lily said. She reached into the pockets of her robes and pulled out the muggle paper. She gave it to Sirius.
"I'm going to *kill* her. That's it, she's dead!" he said.
"Sirius," Lily said in a warning voice. "No." She knew he would kill Petunia if he had the chance.
"But-"
"No."
"What is it?" the rest asked.
Sirius handed James the note. He had the same reaction, as did Remus and Aimie. Peter simply looked 'disgusted'.
"Curfew is in ten minutes, people," said Madame Pomfrey. The Marauders had spent all day with Lily in the hospital wing.
"All right," said Aimie.
"G'night," they all said.
"Night, guys," said Lily.
Madame Pomfrey set Lily free after a week or so in the infirmary. When she walked into breakfast, she was met by the Slytherin boys singing 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' in very girlish voices.
A/N: There, she's awake and James kissed her. Too bad I didn't make him stick around after he kissed her, eh? Awell. Hope you enjoied! The only way to let me know is to review (hint hint).
