If you have read this far before July 16th then you should go back and read the other chapters because I have made some/a lot of changes and this might not make sense if you don't go back and read them. If you don't want to read them all then at least go back and read chapter 5! Thank you and happy reading!
Now onto the story…
_~*^*~_
Why did they come visit me? Why would they care? They don't even know me and by all rights, I should be dead… wait a sec…Lily called for Madame Pomfrey, the nurse to come. "Pardon me Madame Pomfrey, but how did I get here?"
"Oh darling, James Potter brought you in, on his broomstick actually. Quite a fright I a had there, seeing you limp in his arms and poor James covered in blood…"
"Oh." Lily said disappointed.
"Well, yes. You however need your rest. You've lost quite a bit of blood and you'll probably be in here for the rest of the week."
Great four more days… "Thank you Madame Pomfrey." Lily said with a fake smile as she thumped her head back down on the pillow. Oh well… might as well sleep…
_~*^*~_
James quickly walked ahead of his friends, wanting to think alone for a while. Why doesn't she like us? I mean, I only saved her life…James thought bitterly as he entered a room furnished with multicolor beanbags and stone floors. It was a room that Peter had found accidentally in first year. He had walked by the suit of armor guarding it and had accidentally made the axe that the suit of armor was holding come crashing down. It was then that Peter had been made a part of the Marauders. The Marauders was a group of pranksters made up of Sirius, Remus, James and Peter. They were known by everyone throughout the school because of their brilliant pranks. Also, although unknown to the rest of the school, the Marauders had become animagi during the summer between fourth and fifth year. That is, everyone except for Remus. Remus was a werewolf; and the Marauders had become animagi to help their amber eyed friend through his transformations. James had become a stag and therefore had been nicknamed Prongs. Sirius had become a dog, with fur as dark as his own black hair and his nickname was Padfoot. Peter's nickname was Wormtail, because he had become a rat. Remus had been just as withdrawn as Lily is right now, before he met us.
James flopped miserably down on a pink and purple polka-dotted bean bag chair, raking his hands through his perpetually messy dark brown hair.. Does she even know that I found her on the tower? Why did I find her on that tower? I mean where did that premonition thingy come from? I'm pretty sure I'm not a seer or anything… nothing like that has ever happened to me before…James sat brooding for quiet minutes while he unconsciously wormed little beans out of a hole in the faded bean bag he was sitting on. Suddenly James felt a quiet rumbling in his stomach. He glanced at his watch and found that it was dinner time. My gosh what a hectic day this has been with finding Lily classes, pranks and visiting Lily. She really slept for a long time, for it to already be dinner…
James made his way down to the Great Hall where he ate in silence. When James was finished he looked up with his chocolate brown eyes and found Dumbledore staring at him. He motioned for James to come with him, so James quickly excused himself and followed Dumbledore out of the hall.
_~*^*~_
"James I would like to ask you a few questions about the incident with Miss Evans this afternoon." Professor Dumbledore said as he sat down at his desk.
"Okay." James answered meekly, taking a sitting gingerly on the rickety old chair in front of the Headmasters desk. James looked around the room which he had become familiar with, due to his many detentions. The room was full of tidbits and gadgets and all manner of miscellaneous items. Some muggle some magical. Another part of the office had floor to ceiling bookcases filled with all manner of books. The other walls in the office however were covered with pictures of previous Headmasters.
"First of all, how did you find Miss Evans?" Dumbledore asked jolting James out of his reverie, and offering him a sherbet lemon.
"No thank you" James said shaking his head at the Professor's offer of a sherbet lemon. He continued "Well sir, I was on my way to charms, my first class when all of a sudden I saw this picture in my head…"
"Can you describe this picture?" Dumbledore inquired.
"Well it was, well it was a picture of a girl with red hair lay in a pool of her own life's blood; an emerald encrusted hilt jutting out of her chest, stark against the red of her blood and the navy of the sky. At the time I didn't know that it was Lily, but I ran where this sort of tugging at my heart told me to go, and it led me to her." James explained shakily.
"I see." Dumbledore murmured , letting none of his feelings show through his normally expressive eyes.
"Professor? Do you know why I got that picture of Lily in my head?" James asked hesitantly.
Dumbledore took off his half moon glasses and carefully folded them and laid them on his desk. "James, I believe that you have a special connection with Lily. One so strong that you will do anything to keep her from dieing. Do you understand James?"
"I-I think so…"James said as his forehead creased in thought.
"Very well. Keep her safe James, the future of wizard kind could depend upon you two." Dumbledore said with a tone of finality.
"I-I'll try," James said nervously.
"Very well. That is all I ask of you. I believe that you will find Professor Satre waiting outside of the gargoyle, if you could let her in? Thank you for coming James." Dumbledore said as he put his glasses back on.
"Of course, Sir. Goodnight," James said as he exited and kept the gargoyle open to let the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher in, "Hello Professor." James said politely.
"Hello James. I don't doubt that you'll want to go find your friends, I believe I last saw them sneaking off to the kitchens," Professor Satre said with a wink.
"Thanks Professor," James said smiling quickly before sinking back into thought as he headed off towards the kitchens.
James had a lot to think about.
