James and Lily - By grahm_craker_gal
Chapter Four - Tears, Realizations and Departures
After making sure Lily was all right, James had shuffled up to the Gryffindor tower and fallen into a restless slumber. He had a horrible nightmare during which Lily and Snape got married. But right after Lily said, "I do" she died and the wedding became a funeral. Throughout the whole funeral service Snape and Malfoy were laughing hysterically.
At around nine o'clock that next morning, Sirius woke up and hollered at the top of his lungs for everyone else get up. When James refused to obey his orders, he jumped on his bed until James said, "Shit, Sirius, can't you let a guy get some sleep?"
Sirius decided that his job was done and sat down contentedly on the side of James' bed. He then began to interrogate the weary James. "You got in late last night, mate. So tell, who were you with? Was it that hot chick from Ravenclaw? You know, the one with the huge-"
"NO, Sirius. I wasn't snogging with some girl last night," James refuted.
"Really," Sirius said, his disbelief apparent, "If you weren't getting busy last night, where were you?"
"I can't tell you. Besides it wouldn't interest you."
"Well, fine then mate. If your gonna be like this, I'll just go talk to Peter," Sirius said and then ran over to terrorize Peter, who was currently yawning and considering going back to sleep. (AUTHOR'S NOTE: Mua-ha-ha! Peter gets terrorized, how lovely!)
After making sure Sirius was suitably occupied, James went down to the Great Hall to get breakfast and then to the hospital wing to visit Lily. When he got to the immaculately clean ward, he saw Madame Pomfrey dozing at her desk. Assuming it would be all right if he went to see Lily, he snuck quietly into the small room she was sleeping in.
It nearly broke his heart to see her there, lying so still and pale and looking almost lifeless. He observed her still body for about half an hour until she began to stir and awaken.
"What the hell." Lily began.
"Shh, it's all right," James comforted, "Last night, after Snape broke up with you, you fainted so I brought you here."
Lily laid, or rather collapsed, back down onto the bed and closed her eyes, tears dropping out the corners of them. James hurriedly brushed her tears away and said, "It's okay. Everything's fine. You're better off without him," in what he hoped was a comforting voice.
"He dumped me because I'm too fat, didn't he?" Lily asked mournfully.
"No, Lily you're not at all fat. In fact you're TOO skinny. You need to eat something." James conjured up a mouthwatering display of breakfast foods.
"I can't eat James. Maybe if I lose more weight Severus'll take me back."
"Don't even think about getting back together with that slime. And I'm not leaving until you finish this," James said, gesturing to the breakfast.
Lily began to pick at her food without interest. After about ten minutes James exclaimed, "Jesus Lily, you're the least fat girl I know. Here, look in the mirror, mirrors never lie."
Slowly, supported by James, Lily walked over to the mirror and inched up her nightshirt. When she saw how skinny she was, she burst out crying.
"It's okay, Lily," James comforted, holding her gently as she sobbed into his chest, "We're going to get you help. It's going to be okay."
* * GRADUATION DAY* *
After the incident with Snape, Lily had gone to an eating disorder counselor and gotten adequate help. She was now healthy and looking more beautiful than ever. James and Lily had gotten closer and closer, but contrary to popular belief, nothing romantic had happened. That didn't mean James didn't want it too, though. He had gotten something of a crush on Lily. He hoped that away from the pressures of Hogwarts they could be more than just friends.
Lily and James had already given their speeches and everyone had received their diplomas, now people were milling about aimlessly. James spotted Lily and signaled her over. "Lily, hi. Congratulations."
"Thank you, same to you," Lily replied.
"Listen, Lily, I was wondering if maybe we could do something sometime. You know, together," James said awkwardly.
"I really don't think so," Lily replied coldly. James had no idea how much she really wanted to say yes. However, after her whole ordeal with Snape, she didn't think she could stand being in another relationship. She had decided to swear off men for the rest of her life.
James, now completely embarrassed, made up some bogus excuse and fled quickly, leaving Lily alone and melancholy. She wiped away a tear that had been falling down her cheek, squared back her shoulders, and held her chin up high. To the rest of the world she looked like the picture of confidence. Inside, she secretly wondered if she'd ever see James Potter again.
