Chapter 7
Surprise
By the end of March, Lily and James were both back to normal. James and Sirus had resumed their prank war and it was worse than ever. James told Lily that he was making up for the last few months when the war had been put on hold.
One day after Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Severus came up with the perfect prank for James after he left his books in class. Lily, who was still in the classroom talking with her friends, noticed the books and joked with the two girls next to her about how forgetful James was. She said that James could forget his head if it wasn't attached to the rest of his body. The three girls were laughing so hard that none noticed Severus put multiple hexes and curses on James' books. Severus walked back across the room with a smug smile on his face as he waited for James to retrieve his books. Severus never thought that Lily would be the one to get James' books for him.
Severus watched in horror as Lily picked up her own books and then went to get James' books. As Lily touched the books, all the spells hit Lily at once. Some of the hexes and curses shouldn't have been mixed together and the side effects caused Lily to fall backward, trip over a chair, and hit her head on a desk before she fell unconscious to the floor.
James had returned to get his books just in time to see Lily get hurt. He ran to Lily, picked her up in his arms, and ran with her to the hospital wing. But James didn't miss the look of horror on Severus' face that told him that Severus was responsible for what had happened.
James laid Lily on one of the beds and waited as Madam Pomfrey began removing the various hexes and curses. After all the spells had been removed, Madam Pomfrey did a full body check of Lily to make sure she didn't break any bones or have a serious head injury. It was at this time that Madam Pomfrey discovered that Lily was pregnant. She told James that Lily and the baby were fine and lucky.
Soon, Lily woke up and was very surprised to find out that she was pregnant. Yet, both her and James were extremely happy about their baby. James was allowed to stay with Lily for a few more minutes before he was kicked out of the hospital wing so Lily could get some rest.
As James walked back to the common room, he ran into Severus. James grabbed Severus and pinned him against the wall. He told Severus to never pull another prank on Lily again. He told him that the prank war was between them had nothing to do with Lily. Severus apologized and said that the prank was never meant for Lily and that he would hurt her. James told Severus that lily was pregnant and that the side effects could have seriously hurt or killed the baby. Severus swore to James that him had no intention of hurting Lily in the first place and that he would make it clear to his friend that Lily was off limits, but the war between them was not over by a long shot. So an agreement was reached and Lily was never put in the middle of the war again.
