Hate, hate and hate plus how about more hate?
Chapter 4: Out And About
"Madam," Lily pleaded a week later, "I swear to god I am now fine. Don't you know how much work and stuff I am missing out on just staying here lying in bed with all my injuries and everything heeled days ago?! You can't lock me up here for ever!"
The Matron eyed her with bafflement, "So the counselor really did her job properly? Are you mentally fine?"
Lily looked offended "Are you suggesting I should shift to St. Mugos? Madam, ofcourse I will have my problems and painful memories and flashbacks but that's natural; but it's not even like I'm gonna all of a sudden drop dead and faint you know, I recovered slightly and had my head put together."
Madam Promfrey hesitated a little, "Lily, there's something you should know: Lucius was unpunished, all he got was a detention for his carelessness. He's still here."
Lily's eyes grew wide; how come no one's told her that, "You mean committing rape isn't bad enough for someone to be expelled?"
"I'm afraid it seems he hadn't done it on purpose." The woman said stiffly, "It appears he was under the Imperial Curse; it was against his will. Later two students found him unconscious, they reported to the Headmaster who revived him. I'm sorry."
Lily's eyes filled with terror. No, she chased her fears away, I'm strong now, and I am powerful, in control and can handle everything!
"Madam," Lily said, sighing, "I can deal with 15 wrestlers and even Lord Vol- the Dark Lord himself! I feel strong and like I can deal with anything at the moment. Don't you see? When one goes through something dramatic and survives; they slowly heal and can go through any advanced obstacle set up to them as they've already been through the worst."
The Matron rolled her eyes, "Very well. If you're completely sure; you may go. Goodbye Ms. Evans, it was a pleasure having you here."
"You too." Lily cheerfully replied, getting off the bed and grabbing her robes, starting to set off.
Even though her body; thanks to the nurse, was healed physically, something about her mind made them slightly shake as she walked.
But that's only because it's been a week since I walked, Lily thought stubbornly, I'm not afraid! Nothing scares me!
She stepped out into the corridors, now her hands began shivering under her robes. But she was prepared to face society on her own! She had dealt with them all for 7 years! She is expectant and aware incase Malfoy or anyone tried to hit on her! She is NOT afraid! That was all that was running through her head.
She reached the Fat Lady.
"Goodness, Lily," she said happily, "It's great to see you again, all strong on your feet. Know the password?"
"Uh, nooo.." Lily whined, "Please let me in! I'm Gryffindor Head Girl who spent a whole week at the school hospital!"
"Sorry hon, but it's against my account to let you in without the password." She replied firmly. "How do I know you aren't some Slytherin under the influence of Polyjuice Potion, hmm?"
Lily was just about to look desperate when she heard a shriek of "Lily!" behind her. Before she knew it the twins had come flinging their arms around her squeezing the breath out of her. As she shakily hugged them back; she shivered, last someone had touched, hugged and squeezed her like that was..
"It's so good to have you back," Diana whimpered, wiping away tears. "We won't ask you to tell us anything about that night. But we want to make sure you know Dana and I will take special care of you from now on so you won't have to worry about anything or anyone."
"Thanks guys," Lily said, forcing on a smile, "It's really cold; can you please let us in."
Dana turned to the Fat Lady who was now beaming, "Inky Quill," she said. The Lady opened to let them in.
No one was there. Lily came in and started to go up to the dorms, she found her cloak and draped it around her. She didn't feel like talking to the twins really. She just wanted to be left with her thoughts.
"Where is everyone?" She asked them.
"It's Dinner time at the Hall now. We're on diets so we've had enough." Dana answered, looking at her with concern, why was she so cold?
"So.." Lily strained her brain to think of something to say, "Who's been in charge and responsible while I was gone?"
"Prefects." Diana answered simply, she was noticing how weird Lily was too, and so she added "As for the class work I'm sure you'll have no trouble catching up being a genious and all. We didn't have that much of homework throughout the week, with the exception of Potions, so you're going to be all right."
Lily looked down, "Do people know?"
"They're gossiping about it," Dana said quietly, "But we managed to correct any romours that went out of hand for you and everyone is against fucking Malfoy."
"Um, well- I'm just really sleepy. Thanks for everything you've done but I'd really like to go to bed." Lily stated.
"Without eating?" Asked Dana.
"Madam Promfrey already fed me up before I left," Lily said truthfully, "I'll see you two in the morning."
"Goodnight then Lils." Said Dana, upset that their friend was so distant and un-open to them.
Diana and her were going down the stairs feeling uncomfortable, out to report to the rest of their friends of her return. "She'll be fine and back to the Lily we knew, Dana" Diana assured her sister, as though reading her mind.
"Yeah, I know.." Said Dana sadly. The truth was, Diana and Dana were not that close to each other. In fact, if they weren't twins they'd be the worst of worst enemies. They both were closer to Lily than they were closer to each other. They only were on speaking terms because what other choice did they have being twins? All they did was fight over things and opinions, got jealous of each other and compete, and hate it when people mistake one for the other. They also didn't like disagreeing because if they did it would be like starting World War 3 so it's best if they kept their mouths shut or pretend to agree and suppress it all. They were forced to do everything together!
They re-entered the Great Hall in silence. They spotted the Marauders wolfing down their food as usual and joined them.
"Guys, guess what?" Dana said.
"What?" All four said together.
Diana was getting hot; she wanted to be the one to break it to them first! She felt she was better at explaining than Dana
"Lily is back!" Announced Dana before Diana opened her mouth, "She's fine, a little quiet and shivery, but she's OK."
The Marauders looked at each other, smiling grimly with evil glints in their eyes.

Hey there, thank god I got this done over with. I'm sorry I didn't manage to make Lily and James face each other but hopefully that will soon change if I manage to whip up the next part ofcourse.
