Remembering James, Remembering Love: Chapter 6: Linky Is Very Pleased To Help
That night, James had trouble getting to sleep. So instead of Lily dreaming strange dreams, it was James dreaming. DREAM
James sat up and recognized being back in that old hospital bed at Hogwarts. He looked at the bed next to him and saw Lily sleeping. He knew exactly how this was going to go. He almost didn't want her to wake up. HE wanted to wake up. He didn't want to be having this dream. It was torture enough to have to go through this once but TWICE??!! It was just too much for him. He slapped his face a few times but he didn't wake up and that only resulted in pain. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 3:30 AM. The same time that he had woken up when this originally. He knew that Lily wouldn't wake up until 6:45 and that he would be waiting quite a while. He thought that maybe if he did something different the dream would be different. He decide to try and go back to sleep in his hospital bed instead of staying up for her like he did before. But he couldn't sleep these words going over in his head, as he knew exactly how things were going to be when Lily woke up.
I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing
I wonder what are we fighting for
When I say out loud
I want to get out of this
I wonder is there anything
I'm going to miss
I wonder how it's going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there
How's it going to be
When there's no one there to talk to
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in, swings empty
Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me
I wonder how's it going to be
When it goes down
How's it going to be
When you're not around
How's it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me
Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
And how's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
And how's it going to be
Want to get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I want to taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion, oblivion
How's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore
How's it going to be, How's it going to be
How's it going to be
(how's it going to be by third eye blind)
Those were the last things he remembered thinking before waking up in his bed at home.
The next morning James sat up, got dressed and ran out the door and left for Hogwarts. He had to see Linky, Lily too, but Linky first and more importantly, so he COULD go just see Lily whenever he wanted. When he got in the kitchens, he was as usual, greeted by exceptionally tiny house elf, Linky.
"Hello to you too, Linky." James smiled as Linky dusted herself off and curtsied before her 'master.'
"Hello, Master James. What can Linky do for you?" Linky asked while grabbing a pile of chocolate frogs and then holding them out to James.
James accepted them, knowing how much Linky loved to please him, "Actually Linky, I'm here to talk about Lily again, but thank you nonetheless."
"Oh well Linky is pleased to help Master James. What can Linky do for him?" Linky smiled.
"Well, Linky you know how Lily doesn't remember me." Linky nodded, "Well I think that if we were just friends I would have been able to get to remember me easier. But since we were more than friends, since we were in love.she doesn't remember me and I can't just say 'Hey Lily, we were in love' you know what I mean Linky? Anyway you can't tell her that we were in love.what I need you to do is help her fall in love with me again. If we could do it once we can do it again. But Linky, you have to promise that you won't tell Linky that we were in love. Tell her anything else. That would ruin it, if that happened she might think that I was using you to stalk her or something. Do you understand?" James looked worried that Linky's big mouth on her tiny body would blurt it out.
"Oh, Master James, do not worry! Linky promises! Linky may forget but Linky keeps promises! Linky can tell you that for sure!" Linky said making James reassured just a little and making the other elves furious, just a lot.
James looked at his watch and told Linky that he had to go and left right after Linky practically strangled him hugging his neck as that was the only thing her arms could reach all the way around to hug.
Linky couldn't restrain herself from talking to Lily. As soon as she got a break she ran up to Lily' s chambers screaming, "MISS LILY! IT IS LINKY! YOO HOO!"
Lily got up and went to meet Linky at her bedroom door, "Yes, Linky?" she said yawning, as she must have been asleep.
Linky smiled as smile as big as her little face would hold, "Oh Miss Lily, Master James came to see Linky today and Linky wanted to tell Miss Lily."
Lily closed her eyes and said, "Linky.couldn't you have waited until morning?"
Linky shook her head no rapidly and spoke, "Oh no, Miss Lily, Miss Lily must know by now how bad Linky's memory is! Does Miss Lily forget too?"
Lily remembered and motioned Linky to come sit down on the foot of the bed to talk. Linky cautiously walked towards Lily and the bed then asking, "Miss Lily, please do not make Linky fly today. Linky is too tired right now."
Lily smiled at the thought of the elf still being afraid of the bed, "Of course I won't Linky."
"Oh well that is good, Miss Lily.''
"Now continue with what you were saying about James, Linky" And Linky started to tell her. "Well you see, Miss Lily, Master James came to the kitchens to talk to Linky about Miss Lily. He wanted Miss Lily to remember Master James from before. He said that again he wanted Miss Lily and Master James to be in lo- --OH LINKY IS BAD LINKY! MASTER JAMES SAID NO LINKY! BAD LINKY!" At that moment Linky got up and started banging her head on Lily's dresser. Lily swared later that if she hadn't grabbed her she would have gotten serious brain damage. Lily was worried that if Linky said something wrong again that she would kill herself so she sent Lily back downstairs. After Linky was gone, Lily went to sleep and dreamt.
