~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~
Once inside they were faced with a problem. The only way to the hospital wing was through the great hall. It was currently breakfast time. Everyone would be there. They stopped just outside the doors.
"What are we going to do?" James asked, looking at himself and the others. They were all covered with Lily's blood.
"We have to take her to the hospital wing Prongs! even if it means going inot the great hall at breakfast!" Sirius said, and Peter nodded.
"You're right Padfoot. Let's go" James agreed and they walked into the great hall.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
James walked bravely into the great hall, carrying Lily's torso and head while Sirius supported her legs and Peter walked beside them like a member of the national guard.
All the heads in the great hall turned simultaneously to the Marauders, and jaws dropped. The entire great hall was silent for a few seconds, then loud whispering and talking broke out. James, Sirius and Peter continued walking, still carrying Lily's fragile and broken body, until an obnoxious, nasal voice rang out.
"James Potter! I didn't think you'd actually *kill* her!? What will my father say!? What will your father say!? What if I'm not allowed to marry you anymore!?!?", Nicola shouted and ran over to them. James shook with anger and a few tears fell from his eyes. Sirius sighed at Nicola's disgusting behaviour.
"Would you like to come with us to the hospital wing? After all, you *are* her best friend", Sirius said sweetly and relished the look of distaste and disrespect on Nicola's face. Nicola picked up one of Lily's almost lifeless hands and dangled it by her fingertips, as if not wanting to get her muggleborn 'germs' on her.
"Best friends!? With Lily Evans!? I don't think so! She's nothing but muggleborn scum! I don't even know why you're bothering to help her now. She's probably faking the whole thing. That's probably not even her real blood. You can buy fake blood down in Hogsmeade. This is just another pointless and stupid cry for attention-", Nicola said but was cut off by James' yelling.
"SHE'S NOT STUPID AND THIS IS NOT A CRY FOR ATTENTION YOU STUPID BIMBO! SHE'S ONE OF THE FINEST HUMAN BEINGS IN THIS ROOM AND YOU WILL RESPECT HER LIKE YOU WOULD ANY PUREBLOOD!"
The whole hall grew silent again, for no one had ever heard James yell at anyone like that, let alone his girlfriend. Nicola just smirked at him and dropped Lily's hand, which hung lifeless by her side.
"Heh.. That's not what you were saying yesterday afternoon. I'll see you later, sweetie", Nicola said, and sashayed back to her seat, giggling with the other Gryffindor girls. James shook with rage and barely controlled himself.
"Mr Potter! Mr Black! Mr Pettigrew! I believe you should be getting Miss Evans to the hospital wing. Allow me to escort you", Professor Dumbledore said as he walked over to the boys and Lily. James nodded hesitantly, feeling sure that today would be the day he finally would be expelled from Hogwarts.
Dumbledore turned and walked out, with the Marauders following him, being careful not to move too hastily for fear they woudl hurt Lily even more. They reached the hospital wing quickly, taking shortcuts through rooms and portraits they had never seen before, with Sirius mentally noting to write them on the Marauders map. Madame Pomfrey ushered them in, having been floo messaged by Dumbledore beforehand. James layed Lily carefully on a bed and Madame Pomfrey quickly examined her, making disapproving and worried clucking sounds. She turned around to Sirius, James and Peter.
"Go on now, shoo. You did well in bringing her here, but I need my concentration to heal her now, and when she regains conciousness, she's going to need time to rest and get better. You have to go", Madame Pomfrey said, with a small hint of regret at seeing these deeply concerned boys having to leave someone they took such good care bringing to her. James, Sirius and Peter simply nodded and walked out of the hospital wing and started to wlk back to their dormitories, still in stunned silence. Dumbledore cleared his throat and they all turned around.
"I believe there are still matters regarding Miss Evans we need to talk about in my office. Mr Snape is already there with Mr Malfoy, and they're hoping to give us some insight into the situation aswell.", Dumbledore said soberly, without the usual glimmer in his eyes. James didn't glare and protest like he usually did when Snape or Malfoy were mentioned, he simply frowned and didn't say anything at all. Sirius and Peter looked at James, then each other, and frowned also, worried about James. Dumbledore sighed and gestured towards his office and the Marauders walked in silence behind him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As the Marauders entered Dumbledore's room, they were interested little in the new objects that filled the shelves, or even the fact they would have to sit next to Snape and Malfoy. They were too filled with worry about Lily and being expelled to worry about such petty things. Dumbledore resumed his usual seat behind his desk and magicked some more chairs around his desk and gestured to the Marauders to sit. James sat on the very end, with Sirius in the middle next to Peter. Peter sat next to Severus Snape, with Lucius Malfoy sitting at the opposite end to James. Though they were little worried about the usual enemity, Dumbledore still noticed the tension and slight anger between the two houses, most evident with James and Lucius.
"Severus, Lucius, we have just returned from the hospital wing... It appears Lily went through with her threats.", Dumbledore said sadly. Severus and Lucius tensed and looked deeply hurt, confusing the Marauders completely.
"Please, Professor, tell me that she didn't kill herself. Please", Lucius said, anxiety and worry clearly evident in his voice. Dumbledore shook his head and sighed.
"No, Lucius, she didn't kill herself, though it came close. She was barely living when Mr Potter, Black and Pettigrew brought her in. Madame Pomfrey is worried, but she'll be able to make Lily alright again."
Lucius and Severus let out a sigh of relief and Lucius patted Severus on the back, comfortingly. James' anger finally got the better of him and he stood up and shouted.
"What the hell is going on here!? What threats!? Why do they know about them!? Why are they even here!? They never liked her! They never did!", James shouted then sat down on his chair and started crying. Though he covered his face with his hands, his tears were more than evident to everyone in the room. Sirius and Peter put a comforting arm around his shoulders and sighed. Severus and Lucius looked baffled at James' display, but Lucius stood up and started shouting at James.
"What would you know, Potter!? You wouldn't have noticed if she'd grown an extra arm unless it made her more attractive! You never noticed anything about her! You always teased her and picked on her and made life hard for her! Severus and I have done nothing but console her and wipe away her tears THAT YOU HAVE CAUSED! YOU'ER A SELF-CENTRED BASTARD WHO DOESN'T EVEN SEE PAST THE END OF HIS NOSE! DIDN'T YOU NOTICE HER TRIPS TO THE LIBRARY HAVE BECOME MORE FREQUENT!? SHE HASN'T BEEN IN THE LIBRARY! SHE'S BEEN IN THE SLYTHERIN DORMS WITH US! YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE SHE WAS GONE YOU FUCKING ARSEHOLE! YOU'RE JUST A -"
"QUIET!", Dumbledore shouted and cut Lucius off, "I'm sorry for yelling, but this is no time for arguments, but will everybody please calm down!?"
Lucius sat down, breathing heavily and nodded. James wiped the tears from his eyes and glared at Lucius and nodded.
"Good. In answer to your questions, Mr Potter, Lily Evans has written suicide goodbye notes to all people close to her. I believe when you return to your dormitory you will find them, as Severus and Lucius here did. Severus and Lucius are here because they came to alert me when I was at breakfast that Lily may try to commit suicide. They are here because they are friends of Lily and have possibly more right to be here than you do"
"But.. But.. They're Slytherins!", James spluttered and spat out the word 'Slytherin' as if was something bitterly distasteful. Lucius smiled patronisingly at James.
"Yes James, we *are* Slytherins, good observation", he said and James' face grew red with anger. Dumbledore sighed and stood up.
"We are getting nowhere with this conversation. I suggest you all go have something to eat and take the day off to rest. I can imagine you have all had a very traumatising morning. I will talk to you all after classes finish or I will send word if anything important happens"
The Marauders, Severus and Lucius nodded and stood up. Lucius leaned over and embraced Dumbledore, who wore the same shocked expression that the Marauders wore.
"Thankyou Professor. Please make sure you take care of her. She means a lot to me", Lucius said, gestured to Severus and walked out, closely followed by Severus.
The Marauders just left.

Author's Note: Well, that was the chapter, whether it was worth the wait or not. Please review. If there is a substantial lack of reviews, I don't think I'll bother continuing, because the chapters are getting harder and harder to write. Please review. Anonymous reviews are welcome.
