The Flower's story chp21
"When I find myself fading, I close my eyes and realize my friends are my energy."
-Anon.
Yet again Lily awoke to find herself in the Infirmary, but it looked different. The usually white room was now dark, gray, and cold. It was as if no possible happiness could touch her, it was just a pure evil lurking somewhere. She turned her head sharply towards the door when she heard footsteps. It was then that she noticed the bed next to hers was occupied.
Sleeping on the bed was a boy not much younger than she was. He had round glasses, messy jet-black hair, a round face, and Lily then realized that it was James only younger. But she noticed something on his forehead; she couldn't exactly make it out because his bangs were covering his head. She started to push the bangs away even though a gut feeling told her not too. Her hand brushed away the bangs but before she could tell what it was, a cold scabby hand had grabbed her wrist. She looked dead into the eyes of her cousin when he screamed "WAKE UP!"
*-*-*-*-*
Lily's eyes shot open as she tried to sit up, but something whammed into her head. It was hard and it hurt.
"Lil! What's the deal?" sirius complained rubbing his head
"Darling if you weren't leaning over me you wouldn't have a bloody bump on your head right now!"
"What did you say? Did you say I have a bump on my head? A dreaded bump? Lily Evan's has just ruined the most precious beautiful thing in the world!" he said having a very fake pissy fit
"Oh really, and what's that?" she asked sarcastically
"My face!" she snorted "It's true! You have ruined what the Great Wizards above have given to the simple-folk as a gift! I will make you pay Pirate!"
"Simple-folk? Pirate? Beautiful face? I must be dreaming because usually I find it hard to look at you!" she said
"That's just because you are blinded by the glow of it all!"
"Oh, that explains a lot!" her eyes wandered to the empty beds sitting next to her "Where's James? What happened? Is he all right?" she started to panic
"Slow down you little hippogriff you! James is perfectly peachy, he's asleep in the dormitory. Dumbledore didn't think he was injured enough to sleep down here with Lily darling! Personally I thin he just didn't want any frisky business going on around here!"
She glared at him "So why are you here? Isn't it breakfast time?" Sirius never missed a chance to eat something.
"Lil when you got back here last night, you were in such bad shape that I thought you were dying or something. James on the completely opposite hand was fine. He only had a few bruises and scratches. We were so worried about you Lil!" he paused for a moment "What exactly did happen?"
She smiled. Sirius always wanted the goods on the situations.
So she relived the horrific and painful night. She told him of her cousin, and how he was serving Voldemort. She told him about his new so-called wife. Then when she got to the part when she put the cruciatus curse on her. Lily had to stop for a moment; she remembered that terrible pain, how it seemed to burn you inside out.
She then remembered that girl Kayla. "I don't really remember what she was doing but, I remember helping me get back to Hogwarts and now I'm here!"
Sirius gave he a sympathetic look but she shrugged it away. "It's already happened Sirius there's no use crying over it! So why aren't you eating?"
"Oh.....So I'm not allowed in here? It's all right for lover boy to pop in anytime for some snogging but the poor wittle puppy isn't allowed? Nobody likes the wittle puppy!"
He gave a pouty face and and started whimpering.
"It's not that! It's just that you drool to much..."
They laughed
*-*-*-*-*
By the time James woke up and sauntered to down to the Great Hall, it was already lunch time. He saw Sirius, Remus, and Peter grabbing food and stuffing it on to trays. Remus looked up and waved him over.
"I thought you'd wake up soon!" he pulled another tray from under his own and gave it to James.
"And what exactly am I suppose to do with this? He asked still half asleep
"Put food on it darling! We're going to eat with your little sweetheart."
A light clicked inside James head. He remembered all of last night. He remembered Lily's strangled screams. Her screams echoed inside his head. He dropped his plate down on the table and ran for the Infirmary.
"I guess he wasn't hungry!" Peter squeaked absentmindedly
Remus and Sirius rolled their eyes at him.
*-*-*-*-*-*
James ran all the way to the Hospital wing. He even knocked over a few Slytherin first years. That didn't exactly make his day worse though...
He caught his breath when he got there, and tried to make himself look composed. He opened the door to find Lily sitting on a bed with a quill out. She seemed to be copying something out of a library book. Even though she had a red rash on her cheek and a black eye, to James she looked more beautiful than ever.
She looked up and saw him just staring at her. It made her a little nervous but she just smiled right back. He walked over to her bedside and sat down next to her.
"I'm sorry Lil!" he finally said after a while
"For what?" She pushed his bangs out of his eyes
"For not being able to help you! For not being there for you when you needed me!"
She smiled at him "James, you don't always need to be my night in shining armor! You don't always have to come galloping in on a white steed! If you just hold my hand and say everything will be all right, then that's fine with me!"
James took her hand! "Everything will be all right Lil!"
"Thank you" she whispered. They shared a kiss for only about a moment when the rest of the gang came in with piles of food!
"Merry Christmas love birds!" sirius yelled
He had about one hundred presents in hand and poor Remus and Peter were lugging a cart full of food through the room.
"What's all this? What's going on?" Madame Pompfrey screamed coming out of her office.
"Where's your Christmas spirit Poppy?" dumbleodre said lugging a few more presents and flowers. "How are you feeling this morning Ms. Evan's?"
"Fine thank you. Professor where did all these present's come from?"
she asked curiously still holding James' hand.
"Well, apparently someone had sent owls to many people yesterday about what happened! All these gifts are form the whole school to you and Mr. Potter here!" he nodded his towards James.
"who sent the owls?" James asked
Right about then the door flung itself open and two girls came running in.
"Oh Lily, James what happened?-"
"Are you allright?"
"Sirius told us what happened and we floo powdered right here!"
Tasha and Molly were frantic! Lily didn't exactly feel like talking about it at the moment so she changed to subject.
"So it was Sirius who sent the owls!" Lily announced
"No! Sirius sent just us an owl, We sent it to everyone else in the school!" Tasha leaned over to the both of them "Only the Slytherins didn't get owls, but I huess you expect that from us!"
Lily smiled at them. "Merry Christmas everyone!"
"Merry Christmas" they said in unison
AN: Sorry that took so long! I've just been really busy with this play I'm in an the show is this Wednesday. I'm still learning my lines so that's mostly wht I've been doing lately! I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible but other than that R&R please. And no flames! Thanks
Disclaimer: I don't own them! Leave me alone!
