Previously:
"Professor please the story can wait. B-but Lily s-she ..." Rhi couldn't finish, she burst into tears.
The Head of Gryffindor hadn't noticed the Princess' weak state and she gasped in horror.
"Someone!! Hurry! Get Professor Dumbledore!!" McGonagall screamed to anyone and everyone. Many scurries were heard downstairs in the Common Room and the headmaster came gliding in with a worried look on his ancient features.
"What is it, Minerva?"
"Lillian!! She's ... I don't know exactly!!" McGonagall cried. Dumbledore took one look at Lily and immediately took the girl from Rhi's grasps and put her limp form onto a stretcher and hurried to the Infirmary.
**************
Present Time:
Lily was on the bed, no color on her lips, pale and cold. And lifeless. McGonagall and Dumbledore had left earlier after being nagged by Madame Pomfrey, insisting Lily was going to be fine. And she was right. All Lily needed was a bit of rest and a Pepper-Up Potion. Rhi, was still crying, and muttering things to her unconcious friend like, "Please don't leave too." "Damnit, Lils wake up!!" And either Sirius or Madame Pomfrey would hold her and tell her everything would be fine and that Lily would wake up any moment.
It was late at night when Lily woke up. Her emerald orbs scanned the room and saw Rhi sleeping in another hospital bed and a feeling of dread filled her. A feeling of horror. A feeling she'd felt once before.
'Was the shield not strong enough?' Lily thought in panic.
"Miss Evans! You're awake!!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed as if on cue to walk in.
"Barely..but is Rhiannon...?" Lily looked at the nurse, her eyes desperate and pleading for an answer.
"Oh no dear. She just fell asleep waiting for you to wake up, and I presumed the hospital chairs would be uncomftorable for her. The poor dear, losing her brother and you giving her a shock." She answered looking at the sleeping raven-haired girl with sympathy, hoping she would be fine.
"Now that you've brought that up, is there any sign of Aiden Brooks?" Lily said yawning every moment or so.
"I'm sorry, but no." Madame Pomfrey said, frowning at the thought.
Then a lingering question that was placed in Lily's brain a few days ago finally found its way out, "What about the cat?"
"Pardon me?" Pomfrey asked a bit confused.
"The cat that was on the .. you know."
"Dear heavens, child that's none of your business."
"But..what if it is? What if I'm the one Voldermort's talking about?"
"Child, don't bring up silly accusations of what that.. creature does or does not do. Don't poke into things that don't concern you. If it were you, you'd know by now, wouldn't you? Just rest and get some sleep. And about the cat. It's still unconcious... I personally have no skill in the matter. But it will be fine. It's just petrified. It should awake in a week or two. But I still have no idea why I'm telling you this. This kind of matter doesn't concern an innocent first year like yourself. All you need to think about now is how to get better. And I do think a Pepper-Up Potion will do the trick. I mean that was quite a shield you put up. Yes I know, I heard Ms. Brooks telling the Headmaster the whole story. - she said seeing Lily's questioning look - That girl, Aviva, has gotten a week's worth of detention I'm happy to see. Awful girl, she is." Madame Pomfrey went on rambling and rambling until Lily interrupted her.
Lily sighed. "But may I at least see the cat?"
Madam Pomfrey saw this as a loosing battle and nodded her head "Yes." In reply. She led Lily through what seemed to be the Hospital Bathroom, it reeked of distasteful medicine odors. And through what seemed to be a walk in medicine closet they came to a wooden door. Madam Pomfrey opened it to reveal a small bed with the poor feline on it.
Lily looked at its features closely. 'This isn't the cat from the common. I mean, the one I first met. No wonder it was so strange around me, earlier on. And the spot on his head.. is brown. This a tom cat ... with Rhi's same sapphire eyes.' Lily closed her eyes thinking ... putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
"Oh my god." Lily whispered.
"What was that my dear?" Pomfrey asked once again confused.
"I need Professor Dumbledore." Lily said fast. The nurse saw the urgency in the young girl's eyes and summoned the Headmaster at once.
"What is it.. Ms. Evans? Good to see you awake, you gave us all a shock -" Professor Dumbledore started.
"Sir!! That cat is Aiden Brooks!!" Lily shouted wanting to get it out as fast as she could.
A/N: First year is going to be a loooooooooot longer than expected. I promise I'll make 2nd and 3rd year short so the REAL plot of the story can get more "juicier." Lol. Okay well I warned you this was short. I won't be updating as much because school's starting next week. *screams and cries and kicks around the place* Wonderful. Just pure bliss, eh? Anyways.. please review!! I'll review yours if you review mine..;P. *Ally*
