Three weeks passed with James leaving the Hospital Wing only to go to the
bathroom, and the one night he went out with Sirius and Peter since it was
the full moon. Not once had James cried, and it was starting to get to him.
He was watching Lily one day after Poppy had come by and given him his work. She had sniffled and told James, "It isn't very likely that she's ever going to wake up."
James had just held onto Lily's hand and watched her breathe. His emotions finally got the better of him, and James cried. He cried and cried and cried, ignoring everything but Lily and his tears. One he was done crying, James whispered, "I'm sorry I never told you. Now I may never get the chance, and I can't live without telling you, even if you can't hear it. I love you. I've loved you since I first saw you, and since I got to know you my love for you has grown. Every time I see you my heart contracts, every time you smile I feel like my knees have turned to mush. I love you more than life itself, and I don't care if you suddenly sprouted a purple mustache, I would still love you. Please, just please wake up so I can tell you to your face. Please, Lily Flower, please just wake up."
James fell asleep holding Lily's hand that night, and Lily woke up with wide eyes right after James fell asleep.
~*~
Lily had been sleeping, it was so wonderful, she didn't have to think or talk to anyone, she just got to sleep. She started to get bored, though, and she knew her body was repairing itself, but she wanted to see her friends again. She knew everything that was going on in the outside world, and she was very sad when people cried over her. Lily decided that she was going to wake up when she heard Poppy saying she might not ever wake. That just made Lily double her efforts so she could see everyone again, and that was when she felt tears on the hand that was always held. She knew it was James, and she was shocked that he was crying over her. Sure she knew he liked her, but she always thought she was a conquest. But when she heard James talking to her and proclaiming his love, Lily's own heart contracted. She wanted to wake up, she needed to wake up, if only for James, so she did. It was very difficult, but she did it. Of course, it was night and no one else was there, but she could see James, and that was enough for her. She kissed her fingers and put them to James' lips saying, "I love you too." Lily then fell asleep, one of her hands being covered by James', and James' hand being covered by Lily's other hand.
~*~
The next morning James was woken by Poppy's shriek. James woke up quickly, thinking something was wrong with Lily when he felt his lips tingling slightly, and he saw Lily on her side, with her other hand over his. James' heart leapt as he moved his hands so they were encompassing Lily's. He whispered into Lily's ear, "Come on, Lily Flower, I didn't get to say goodnight to you last night, Lily Flower."
Lily stirred slightly, but didn't wake fully. Poppy ran to her side and used the consciousness spell, but Lily still didn't wake. James turned to Poppy and asked, "Does this mean she's ok?"
Poppy sighed and said, "I think so."
James sighed and kissed Lily's hands. He whispered into her ear, "Come on, Lily. Wake up and see your family again."
With that James ran out of the Hospital Wing to find his friends.
~*~
Poppy moved Lily to a special room just off of the Hospital Wing, and Flooed the Headmaster. He came immediately and used the consciousness spell with Poppy. Lily slowly opened her eyes and muttered, "Hey. Hope you weren't too worried about me."
Albus ran forward and hugged Lily with everything he possessed, with Poppy close behind him. Albus sat next to her and asked, "How?"
Lily looked down and said, "At first my body was just healing itself, then I was just enjoying the reprieve from everything. After a little while I wanted to see everyone again, since I could hear them all, and then I heard Poppy telling James about my not waking up. I wanted so hard to wake up, but it was James in the end."
Poppy looked up and asked, "What did he do?"
Lily blushed lightly as she whispered, "He told me the truth."
She smiled slightly as she leaned back against her headboard. Albus smiled brightly. "This is marvelous. Would you like to see anyone?"
Lily's eyes got a glint in them, and a small smile formed on her lips as she said, "No, I think I'll wait a little while. After all, why outright tell them when you can surprise them?"
Albus smiled as well, and Poppy had to cover her mouth with her hand.
"A brilliant plan."
Lily beamed before settling back against her pillows. "As much as I would like to stay and chat, sleep is calling."
Poppy and Albus smiled knowingly, and Lily fell asleep again.
~*~
James ran straight to the common room and looked for his friends. It was odd enough to see James, as he had not left Lily's side in so long, so Remus was up in a flash. Sirius would have been, had he not been snogging Sarah senseless.
Remus ran up to James and asked, "What is it, what's wrong?"
James caught his breath and said, "She's going to be ok."
Remus' eyes got very wide before he did something no one had ever seen him do: he jumped up and yelled, "YES!"
Sirius looked up and asked, "Are you ok, Moony?"
Remus turned around, the smile on his face bigger than ever. Sirius saw James as well and his eyes widened. "Yea?"
James nodded, his smile bigger than ever as well. Sirius grabbed Sarah and all four ran to the Hospital Wing, only to see Lily's bed empty. The looked around the room, finally spotting the Headmaster in a chair in front of a wall. He beckoned them forward, a smile firmly in place. "Good morning. I assume you have heard about Miss Evans?"
Everyone nodded and were practically jumping from anticipation. Albus looked at each of them, but most specifically James. "She has woken, but fallen back to sleep. She will not fully wake for another few days, but she is in perfect health."
James almost fell over from relief, but Remus was there for him. Sirius and Sarah were doing a very odd victory dance, and Albus smiled again. "Unfortunately none can visit her at the moment, but when she wakes you will be the first to find out."
Everyone nodded, and Remus, Sirius, and Sarah all left. James looked at Albus and said, "Thank you."
Albus smiled and said, "No, thank you. Miss Evans has told me that it was you that woke her."
James' eyes widened, and he blinked a few times before getting out, "Huh?"
Albus' smile grew slightly and conjured a chair. James sat down, and Albus smiled even wider. "When I asked how she woke up, Miss Evans informed me that she wanted to see everyone again, but that you told her the truth, and that was what woke her up."
James blinked as his jaw dropped. "She heard that?"
Albus smiled and nodded his head. James blinked again but couldn't say anything. Albus noticed and said, "She seemed quite happy about it as well, if I do say so myself."
A new voice entered and said, "Yes, she seemed to glow when she mentioned it."
James saw Poppy appear out of nowhere, but he didn't question it. His smile was extremely bright as he stood up. "Thank you so much. Both of you."
Albus and Poppy smiled and watched as James walked from the Hospital Wing, but looked as if he could have gladly skipped with joy.
~*~
The next few days were spent passing the time until they saw Lily for the Marauders and Sarah, and recovering for Lily. She was finally back to her old self after four days, and she set her plan into action. She would be putting a charm on herself so no one looked at her twice, then would sit right next to James and take the spell off. Everything was set, and Albus was even a part of it. He would make sure no one sat next to James, and he was quite excited about it himself.
Lily finished all of her work that she had missed in the four days she was awake, and felt that she knew everything she needed to know. She made sure she had everything she needed for school the next day, seeing as it was Sunday, and then she went to sleep.
~*~
James sighed as he went to sleep on Sunday night. He wanted to see Lily again, but knew that he had to keep his distance until she was ready to see people again. He made sure he had all of his work, and got into bed, his mind awhirl with thoughts of Lily, and nothing else.
~*~
The next morning, Lily was up before Poppy was, and got dressed and ate while going over her plan in her head. Poppy was helping her by telling her if the charm worked. Lily applied it and walked out of the room with her bag. Poppy looked at her, but then quickly averted her eyes. Lily smiled and took the charm off. Poppy noticed her and smiled, walking over. "Well? I'm guessing it worked, right?"
Lily smiled and nodded her head before giving Poppy a huge hug. "Thank you for all of your help."
Poppy smiled and nodded her head before watching Lily walk off.
~*~
James was up a little later than usual, but he got to breakfast on time. He sat down and started to eat, occasionally talking to Remus, who was next to him.
Sirius and Sarah were in deep conversation about something or other, though it was probably Lily.
James was thinking about said person when a girl slipped into the seat next to him. James nodded, but then turned back to Remus. The girl asked, "Could you pass the toast?"
James grabbed the toast, and Lily took the charm off herself. James handed it to her, but looked back as well. Lily put the toast on the table, as it had slipped from James' grasp. James' eyes were very wide as he whispered, "Lily?"
Lily smiled and conjured a mirror. She looked in and said, "Would you look at that? I do look like her."
Lily put the mirror down and put her head on her raised hand. Her elbow was rested on the table, and she was just looking up at James. James moved over and hugged Lily with everything he possessed. His friends came out of their conversations and asked, "You ok, James?"
Lily replied for him and said, "Well, this is James we're talking about."
Remus spit out the juice he had been drinking, while Sirius choked on his toast. James hadn't let go of Lily yet, and she had to say, "Umm, James? I kinda do need to breathe."
James let go of Lily, but didn't move too far away. He had tears in his eyes as Remus came up and hugged Lily. Sirius finally stopped choking, and Sarah stopped helping him, and both jumped the table. Lily was caught in a many-armed hug that made her feel very happy. She smiled and hugged everyone back, though it was James she hugged the most.
Once everyone settled down and went back to their seats, Lily took a sip of her juice. She smiled and said, "Hey guys."
~*~
Everyone started to eat again, but also talk to Lily. She was sitting between James and Remus, with Sirius across from her. She had a smile on her face as she spoke to everyone, and it didn't go away, even when Malfoy came up. "Well, well. Is the little mudblood back to normal?"
Lily smiled up at Lucius and licked her lips. Lucius became very docile, and Lily smiled at him saying, "Please leave."
Lucius nodded and scurried off, Lily laughing hysterically with all of her friends. No one else bothered Lily, though quite a few asked how she was doing.
Albus had told the school what had happened, and almost every had been worried about her, even some of the Slytherins. Just before breakfast ended, Lily said, "So, what're we going to do for the end of the year?"
Sarah looked at her friend, but Lily was dead serious. James thought for a little while before saying, "I've got the perfect idea."
Lily raised her eyebrow, but James wouldn't tell her. Lily pouted, but James just tried to grab her lip. Lily sighed and said, "You're no fun."
James laughed and put his arm over Lily's shoulders. "No?"
Lily thought for a minute and said, "Nope!"
James smiled slightly, and he started to move his other hand. Lily noticed and started to move her own hands. They both hit at the same time, and their friends had to laugh at the tickle fight that had started. Lily ended up losing, but only because James almost fell from the bench he was sitting on and Lily caught him.
While she wasn't a vampire, or hybrid, anymore, Lily still had some of the things associated with it. She was fast, strong, and didn't need to breathe as much as a regular person. She had timed herself at thirteen minutes without breathing, but she was incredibly dizzy by that point.
Lily got up and grabbed her bag, a smile on her face as she looked at the sky. James came up and put his arm around Lily's shoulders, Remus grabbed her hand, and Sirius her bag. Sarah walked in front of her and said, "No one is bothering you today, Lils."
Lily glared at Sarah, and James laughed from it. Lily turned to him and said in a dramatic voice, "I understand! You don't love me anymore!"
She fell to the side, but Remus caught her. Lily smiled at him before moving back to in between James and Remus. James cleared his throat and said, "Could I talk to you for a minute, Lily?"
Lily shrugged and said her farewells to her friends, making funny faces at them until they left her sight. Lily shouldered her bag and asked, "What's up?"
James was about to answer when Lily up a hand over his mouth. "Never mind. What did you need?"
James smiled behind Lily's hand, so she dropped it. James shrugged and continued to walk, Lily's hand in his own. "Ja-ames!"
James smiled as he dragged Lily into an abandoned classroom. Lily sat on one of the desks and watched James as he paced back and forth, back and forth. She finally said, "Jeez! Stop, I'm getting dizzy just from watching you!"
James smiled again and stepped in front of Lily. Lily looked up at James and raised an eyebrow. In return, James put both hands on either side of Lily's legs and looked Lily straight in the eye. "Did you hear everything we said when you were in the Hospital Wing?"
Lily smiled and nodded her head. James looked down and sighed, but then looked back up at Lily. "Then I'm just going to repeat this. I love you."
Lily thought that if she smiled any more it would break her face. She hugged James and said, "I love you too."
James smiled as well, and he picked Lily up off the desk, twirling her around. He finally stopped and put Lily's feet on the ground, but didn't let go of her. Lily's arms were still around James' neck, and she started to pull him closer. James' arms were around Lily's waist, and he pulled her closer too. James looked into Lily's eyes and said, "I am so glad you're ok."
Lily smiled slightly and said, "Me too."
James leaned down the rest of the way and kissed Lily. It was long and sweet, and made both ache for more. They broke apart, both panting lightly, and Lily smiled from it. James did as well before saying, "We have class in three minutes."
Lily thought for a minute and said, "It's all the way across the castle."
James nodded, and Lily pulled him back for another kiss. When they pulled apart James asked, "Be mine forever?"
Lily smiled up at him and replied, "Only if you will."
They both smiled before moving in for another kiss.

Whoopie! I'm done! Ok, I can write an Epilog if you want to, but I need to know, ok? Ok! Sorry for the wait, and confusion - Kristin - not enough sleep from school can do that to you. Reviews are nice! Tell me if you want the epilog so I can write it quickly!
