(A/N Hey every one thx for reviews. My deepest apologies to Aie Dust about the spelling errors but when you are writing a story about magic a lot of words like Hogwarts etc come up and its so annoying to see spell check come up every time you write a word they don't recognise (which is a lot) so I have turned it off. I'm sure you can follow the story fine though.)

Chapter 12

Lily felt James's arms around her. "James?" she whispered. She felt a sharp pain in her head. She heard screams around her.

"She's bleeding James she's bleeding!" one girl screamed

" Just go get Professor Mcgonagall!" shouted someone back at her.

She felt someone stroke her hair and James breathe into her hair. "It's going to be ok Lils. It's all going to be ok."

Lily relaxed James would protect her. She felt another sharp pain in her head. Her mind felt like lead. She just felt like going to sleep.

*********************************************************************

Lily opened her eyes groggily. She immediately saw a blinding amount of white. Her eyes focused and she realised that she was in the hospital wing. She looked around and saw James asleep in the chair. his head was resting on her bed.

she poked James in the head. "wake up." she rubbed his neck.

"umm." said James he sat up slowly straightening his back. "ow ow ow." he said.

"his eyes snapped open when he realised Lily was awake.

"Oh, Lily." he sighed relieved. He hugged her.

Madame Pompfrey came over and popped a thermometer in her mouth and felt her forehead with her hand.

"Yes, your on the mend dear, you need your rest though. Potter I think it will be best if you leave."

"No I want him to stay." Lily said awkwardly as she still had the thermometer in her mouth.

Madame Pompfrey eyed the two. "ok then that's fine. If you really want him too."

She took the thermometer out of her mouth turned on her heel and left. James scowled after her.

"I can't believe she asked me to leave. Doesn't she realise who I am." he grinned.

He leant over Lily and gave her a kiss. "I'm glad your better. He looked down. "I was so worried when you fell. I thought you had died or something." he bit his lip.

"and then you were unconscious for days...........I'm so glad your ok."

"what?!?" asked Lily shocked. "I was in some kind of coma or something?"

"yeah, oh Lils I was so worried."

"That's so weird. How long was I unconscious for?"

"It's been 3 weeks 4 days since you fell."

"THREE WEEKS!"

"ssshhh." whispered james putting a finger over her lips. "there are other people ill and asleep in this hospital too loudmouth." Lily stuck her tongue out at him.

Lily heard a loud clattering of feet and the hospital wings door's burst open.

"Lily the silly billy!" shouted a familiar voice. she turned to see Sirius, Remus, Katie, Liz and Peter come running towards her. Sirius gave her a cheeky smile.

"Glad to see your alright darling."

"Darling?" said Lily with her eyebrows raised. Liz, Katie and Remus all came forward to give Lily a hug. Sirius came in last giving her a swift kiss on the cheek.

They all took their seats around the beds. Lily scanned them quickly. Her eyes did a double check when it came to the last seat. Peter was sitting there. Tears began to well up in her eyes.

She looked at James Pleadingly. She watched James eyes flick from Her to Peter. He squeezed her hand.

"Peter I think you should go." he said looking down at the floor.

"what? but I thought we agreed."

"Yeah we did but please just go." Peter scowled but stood up and left.

Lily rolled over on to her front. Her face into the cushions. tears were rolling down her face. They had all made friends with him. Why had they done this. why?

Lily felt James rub her back.

"Can everyone please go I want to talk to Lily alone." Said Sirius. Katie, Liz and Remus all stood up willingly but James seemed reluctant to leave her side. Katie walked up and put her arm around James "come on let's go." she said quietly. James nodded and they walked out.

"come on Lily." Sirius said. Lily could tell he was smiling. He grabbed her side and pulled her over so she was now lying on her back.

"Now look at me." Sirius said teasingly.

"why I don't want to be sick." Lily said coldly.

"oooooo now who got out of bed the wrong side this morning?" he added with a grin. Lily laughed. Even though she tried she could never stay mad at Sirius he was just so loveable. Sirius jumped onto Lily's bed.

"get off me." Lily said giggling. Sirius always knew how to cheer her up.

"Now Lily Evan's Listen to me." Sirius said his voice turning serious. Lily fell silent.

"Peter came back to school and well he was so pathetic." Sirius gave a laugh. "He came crawling back to us apologising. He said that he felt out of place. That we didn't accept him. that's why he kissed you. To feel part of it."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!" Lily screamed at Sirius. He looked taken back. "Sirius if you haven't forgotten." said Lily lowering her voice. "He really hurt me."

Sirius looked into her eyes.

"I'm sorry Lils." He stepped off her bed. "I think it will be better if Peter was back in our group, you have to put this all behind you and this is the way to do it."

He bent down and kissed Lily on her forehead. "Now if you'll excuse me. Ellie is waiting for me in the entrance hall."

"new girlfriend?" enquired Lily.

"exactly." he gave Lily a wink and skipped away making her giggle.

When he had gone Lily punched her pillow. How was she going to cope with having to hang out with Peter all day?
