Chapter Eleven~ I Come Bearing Gifts

James Potter sat in the middle of the Quidditch Pitch. It wasn't that cold outside, considering it was November. A certain red head girl with bright green eyes was on his mind.

The poor girl's life had been turned upside down in about two days. It wasn't her fault that she was one of the most amazing witches Hogwarts had ever seen, but she was from a muggle family. She was still a witch all the same!

Shaking his head, James thought about his mother. She didn't like muggle borns one bit. Didn't agree with them going to Hogwarts. It was a trait her mother hadn't shown much when James' father was around, but after his death she had showed it more.

Running a hand through his hair, he knew what he was going to do. Whether his mother liked it or not.

Madam Pomfrey sat in her closed quarters later that night around eleven, preparing to go to sleep when an owl flew to her window and began tapping like a mad man.

'Who sends owls at this time of night?'

Going over to the window, she let the snowy white owl in. Flying in, it dropped a package on her desk, causing books to fall over, and it flew right back out again.

"How odd." She muttered. Walking over to the package she opened it carefully. As the last piece of string was untied a small bottle with light blue cream rolled out.

Lotion Remover for all Scars was the name of it but Madam Pomfrey didn't need to look at the front to know that, she would have known this type of cream anywhere. It was the only cream that removed all dark scars except the kind, Dark Marks, which Voldemort gave to his servants. If Voldemort's actual hand had touched you, the mark could not be removed.

"Who would send this to me?" She mumbled and as she sorted through the brown paper wrapping she came across a small piece of parchment.

Madam Pomfrey-

I knew this would help one of the students in the Hospital Wing.

No name was signed.

"Miss Evans!" Madam Pomfrey cried, coming into Lily's room the following morning, behind her were Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore.

"Good morning." Lily said solemnly.

"Miss Evans, Madam Pomfrey has some exciting news." McGonagall said, not being able to contain the grin.

"Really?" Lily said, perking up a bit. She could use a bit of good news.

"Someone donated the lotion needed to remove the scar on your right collarbone!"

"What?" Lily cried, shocked. "Who? Why?"

"There was no name, it just came with a snowy owl in the middle of the night."

"When can you apply the cream? When will the scar be gone?"

"We can apply the cream now!" Madam Pomfrey said, perking up. "The sooner the better! Once we apply it, it'll disappear instantly! I'll do one more check up and then you'll be able to go."

"Really?" Lily asked, her green eyes lighting up.

"Yes m'dear." Pomfrey said.

Carefully Madam Pomfrey dipped a finger into the cream and then had Lily expose the scar. Gently, the nurse rubbed the cream on Lily's right collarbone. Everyone gathered around the seventeen-year old girls bed and watched as the scar slowly dissolved.

"I love magic." Lily said smiling. The three adults chuckled and Dumbledore and McGonagall exited the room so Madam Pomfrey could begin examining her patient.

"Poor Lily." Sirius said, "She's stuck up in the hospital wing doing nothing, when she could be down here… doing homework."

"You mean your homework, right Black?" Vivian asked, raising and eyebrow.

"Erm- no!" Sirius said gulping. 'That Vivian girl is one tough cookie. Remind me never to mess with her.' "She could be helping me though! I'd never cheat!"

"Uh-huh." Vivian said, returning back to her History of Magic homework.

"I HATE PROFESSOR TREWLANY!" Gabby cried, standing up and stomping on her blank piece of parchment. "WHO GIVES A DAMN IF WE CAN READ FIRE OMENS? NO ONE IN THE DEPARTMENT FOR MAGICAL CREATURES, THAT'S FOR SURE!"

"You mean the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures?" Remus asked, his head shooting up.

"Of course! It's been my dream to work with magical creatures ever since my bro-" Gabby paused and Vivian eyed her. "I MEAN WHAT DO THEY CARE IF I CAN READ FIRE OMENS OR NOT?"

"Girl, take a chill pill." Sirius said eyeing her.

"Leave her alone, Padfoot." James said.

"Thank you James!" Gabby cried, "At least someone cares."

"Hey, Remus cared too." Sirius said. "It's Pete and I that don't give a shit what you want to be."

"Someone's a bit cranky." Vivian said, eyeing him.


"You would too if James took all his anger out on his friends. For some reason he feels like it's his fault Lily's in the Hospital Wing." Sirius whispered to her.

"Yeah, well how do you think Gabby and I feel?"

Sirius and Vivian's eyes met.

"I'm sorry." Sirius said, "I didn't really think about that."

"It's okay." Vivian said, her eyes softening. "You guys have been there for Gabby and I through it all, you deserve to be a little cranky."

And on that note, Sirius leaned in and pecked Vivian lightly on the lips. When they released, Vivian looked at him.

"Mr. Black, I do believe you just kissed me."

"Why yes Miss. Carwin, I do believe I did." Smirked Sirius, "And I would like to do it again." And with that he dived in for another kiss.

"Apparently they've had some bottled up emotions for quite sometime." Remus said to his other friends as they watched Vivian and Sirius go at it.

"Finally." James muttered, "I've been waiting for that one for a long time. Now only if you and Gabby hooked up, maybe I could sleep at night."

Gabby and Remus both turned bright red and went back to their work.

As Lily walked up to the Gryffindor Common room later that Sunday night, she began to grin. It was going to be great to go back and be able to hang with her friends. She hadn't seen them in what felt like years. And she would be able to start flying and playing Quidditch again. Her life was back.

"Flapping fairies." Lily said clearly to the portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Yes indeed." She mumbled, and flew open.

"I'm beginning to think I should just drop Divination all together." Gabby's voice came through the room.

"Then you wouldn't have all the credits." Came Remus' voice.

"I could always pick up Muggle Studies or Ancient Runes."

"Whatever you do, don't take Ancient Runes!" Came Sirius' voice, "That class sucked!"

Lily grinned and entered the room.

"Personally, I vote for Muggle Studies." She said smiling.

"LILY!" They all cried, and tackled her into a giant hug.

"Why are you out of the Hospital Wing?" Vivian asked, confused. "What about the scar?"

"Look!" Lily said, and pulled back part of her robes to reveal the collarbone area. "Someone donated the cream!"

"Holy Merlin!" Gabby cried.

"That's amazing Lil." Remus said grinning.

"It's great to have you back, Lily!" James said.

"Now we can really beat those Ravenclaw's next week!" Sirius cried, and the rest laughed.

It was good to have Lily back.
