The Flower's story chp22
When your sick, see a doctor!
-ANON.


The next few months were quite unconventional, well if you didn't count all the lessons Lily and James were having. James was getting very good at his mind reading thing. But Lily was doing terrible. She had no idea what her special power was, and even if she did have one, it wasn't coming into the picture any time soon. It was only a few days to the end of the year feast but today James seemed a bit more downcast, so Lily tried to cheer him up by pointing out how terrible she was at finding the power.

"I don't get it!" Lily said as they walked down to lunch one afternoon

"Don't get what?" James asked

"You can contact people in Albania, and I don't even know what my 'secret power' is!" she said as they sat down to eat. Most of the students had finished their lunch.

"What if Dumbledore was wrong hmm? What if I'm not related to Slytherin? What if I've gone through all this for nothing!" by now Lily was just mushing her porridge.

"Lil, would you stop worrying about it? We're going to be on Holiday in a few weeks! Sirius said he could stay with us for a while, and um.........yeah!" He seemed annoyed by this

"Oh great! Another lazy chap to clean up after!" she said jokingly

Nothing was working with him today. Lily looked at her porridge, it looked like cat barf. She was suddenly not hungry anymore.

She stole a glance at James and saw that he was also not eating. Lily just couldn't stand it anymore.

"James what the hell is wrong? You've been like this for days!" she said exasperated

"Today is my............" he trailed off

"Your what?"

"My mums birthday!" he said sheepishly "I know it's stupid and that I'm being a prat but I just can't believe that they're gone! Did you know that my mum was pregnant?"

"Oh James, I had no idea..............." Lily felt bad for James that his parents were dead but the thought of HOW his mum got pregnant was kind of gross.

James looked at Lily and saw the grossed out look

"Please Lil! I've thought about that plenty, but you know....................."

"I know I know! Well, I'm not hungry anymore! How about you?"

He shook his head no.

"Let's go see where everyone is!"

" All right!"

"And James?"

He looked at her as they walked to the tower.

"Does Sirius really have to stay with us?"

"I'm afraid so! But don't worry I'll protect you!" he kissed her on the forehead.

"I'm sure!"

*-*-*-*-*-*

The year came to an end. They were extremely amazed on how they passed the O.W.L.'s. Lily had actually gotten 11 OWL's. SO had Remus. But as usual Sirius and James had gotten the highest possible. Sirius said he doesn't even try.

Peter had scraped just as many as he could and Tasha and Molly had gotten pretty good scores. But Molly thought she did terrible. They were on the train when Molly voiced her opinions for the 50th time!

"My mum is going to kill me!"

"Well you have Arthur to protect you!" giggled Tasha "I mean...you two have been spending an awful lot of time together!"

Sirius, James, and Peter perked up. They had no idea what was going on with Molly and Arthur.

"What happened?" James asked

"When did you spend time with him?" Sirius questioned

"Who's Arthur?" Peter asked

They rolled their eyes at him and didn't bother answering his question. He's been acting strangley lately. He always gets this weird look on his face when Lily and James are together.

"OOPS!" she looked to Lily and Molly " They don't know?" they shook their heads no "I knew Remus knew so I thought all of them knew. I'm sorry!"

"What's going on! I don't understand!" sirius whined

"Too bad!" Tasha said

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

The beginning of the Holiday didn't go to well. At least in Lily's opinion. Sirius went straight to their house. He said that he couldn't stand his mum anymore. But Lily thought that she wouldn't be able to stand him. Worse was that Lily had gotten the flu, and it wasn't pleasant. It was the kind of flu where you threw up about once an hour. Tasha came over practically every day to make sure she was taking care of herself. But she kept asking if Lily was pregnant, so that really wasn't a big help.

Remus had almost bitten his arm of during one of his transformations. SO they had to pay to just get it looked at. Lily was thinking of getting a job, but James said she was to sick to leave the house.

"James if one of us doesn't get a job sooner or later, we're going to have to sell things to get money!" Lil complained again one night at dinner

"I'll get a job!" Remus volunteered

"You're in no condition either to get a job!" Sirius piped up walking through the front door with Tasha

"Why did you give him a key?" Lily asked

"Because I thought it was a good idea! If I knew he would be dropping in everyday I would have thought otherwise!" he said defensively

"I knew no one liked me!" Sirius said and he pouted

"I like you!" Tasha said

"That's good! Because if you didn't I w-"

"I'm sorry to interrupt but the people who actually live here are in a bit of a crisis!" Lily interrupted

"Sorry." They said as they sat down at the table

"Anyway, since you won't let me leave the house, and since Remus' arm is too swolen to even move, who's goin to get the job?" she looked at James

"FINE! I'll get a job! I am sixteen, I should have a job anyway!"

"Wow, James is taking on some responsibility! I'm impressed!" Tasha exclaimed

"I'll go tomorrow morning to Diagon Alley to look for something. Happy?"

"Yes!" Lily said before getting a look on her face and fleeing from the table.

"Where'd she go?" Sirius asked

"The bathroom. Probably to throw again." Remus shrugged it off

"She should see a wizard doctor you know!"

"Well you know Lily! She doesn't think she's sick at all!" James replied

That night James wrote to a wizard doctor that he knew. He asked him to come over the next day to check up on Lily, and Remus.

*-*-*-*-*

The next day James left bright and early to look for a job so that he wouldn't be home when the doctor came. He just didn't want to get into trouble with Lily.
*-*-*-*-*-*
Lily dragged herself off the couch when she heard the doorbell. She was feeling worse than ever that day and when she got up she felt as though was going to throw up her insides.

"Remus get the door!" she yelled as she retreated to the bathroom

"All right!" Remus was prepared to do anything for Lily right about then. He had never seen her so sick.

"Hello?" he said to the strange person in bright yellow robes.

"Hello! I'm Doctor Robert Jonah." the man said. He looked a little bit like a taller Flitwick, long beard and stubby face.

"Mr. Potter owled me to say that two people in this house were sick?"

"Oh right! Yes um, Lily is throwing up in the bathroom and my arm is puffing up like a marshmellow!" James had mumbled something about a doctor on his way out so Remus knew he was coming.

"Come in Sir! I'm sorry about the mess! It's just that I can hardly lift anything, Lily gets sick whenever she stands up and James has been looking for a job!" He led the doctor into the living room.

"Well that's all right! Let's have a look see at this arm of yours hhmm?"

In about fifteen minutes Remus had some sort of goo slopping all over his injury. He was very fortunate that the doctor didn't mind werewolfs.

"So your already a werewolf?"

"Yes sir!" Remus mumbled

"Please call me Jonah! All my friends and patients do! Come to think of it all my patients are my only friends. Oh well! Well if you keep this goop on for a day then your arm will be fine!"

"All right! Thanks Jonah!" Remus said

"Now where's this little ms. Evans? What did you say you thought she had?"

"The flu!" They heard the toilet flush "Here she comes!"

Lily dragged herself out of the bathroom and looked from Remus' gloppy arm to the man in the bright yellow robes!

"What is the sun doing in our house?" she asked groggily

Jonah laughed "Oh that's funny but I'm afraid I'm not the sun, I'm a doctor and you look dreadfull! SO please do sit down Ms. Evans."

"I'm sorry but I hat doctors!"

"I know you do but sit down!"

She sat down on the nearest thing. The floor.

"Well all right if the floor is the most comfortable place you could think of!"

"Yes! It is." She snapped

It took awhile for her to cooperate but Lily finnaly let Jonah look her over. Every now and then he would make little side comments like "Not good" or "That should be purple" It just made her dislike this doctor even more.

"Well dear, you are very sick! I suggest you take this." A vile with blue liquid magically apeared out of nowhere "Stay in bed for two whole days and only neat things that you don't have to chew! All right?"

"What does this do? And what's wrong with me?" she asked through a pounding headache

"Someone put a curse on you! That's the only thing that can make you this sick! Well I must be off, Send James my hello!" he smiled and left through the front door.

Remus helped Lily onto the couch and helped her take the medicine.

"It's like ice!" she shivered

The door suddenly slammed and in walked James beaming like there was no tomorrow!

"I got a job!" He said proudly

"You sent a doctor over you prat! You know I hate doctors!" But it was hard for Lily to protest because she was feeling better already

"But Lil you look better! What color robes was he wearing?" James asked

"Bright bright yellow!" Remus said remembering

"He knows I loved when he wore funny looking colors!" James remembered

"Well thanks my arm is feeling good!" Remus said

"No problem! I'm going to clean this place up, it's a wreck and it stinks of throw up!" He took his wand and swished it around. There was no stench in about a minute of the wand swishing.

"I'm hungry! Lets eat shall we? I think we shall!"

Lily rolled her eyes and flopped back onto the couch.
