Chapter Two: Shock and Answers
James looked at Madame Pomfrey and promptly asked her questions. "What's wrong with Lily? Why do I have to leave? Professor Flitwick just said you needed to wake her up and she would be fine!" Madame Pomfrey gave him a stern look and once more told him to leave. "Fine!" James shot his hands up in the air, as in defeat and stalked out the door. He shoved his hands into his pockets as he walked through the dark halls of Hogwarts to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Purple Fairies," he said to the Fat Lady and the portrait swung open. Once in the common room, he was swallowed by the questions people were asking him. "Where's Lily? Is she alright? Did you do anything stupid Potter? I swear if you hurt her, then I'll kill you!" James looked at Lily's friends and yelled at them.
"I don't know what's wrong with her! Madame Pomfrey kicked me out, and no, Ashley, I did nothing to hurt Evans," he spat. "Now, if you all would excuse me, I would like to do my homework. Good day." With a curt nod, James left the common room, up to his dorm.
*
Lily was running through a corridor. It wasn't an ordinary corridor. It was dark and she could hear the steady drip of water. It seemed as though she was in some kind of dungeon. The musty smell ached her senses, and her mind was plagued with an eerie feeling, as though something or someone was watching her...chasing her...
"Hello?" she screamed. "Is anybody there?" Her heartbeat quickened as she heard something call out to her...in an echoing whisper...it seemed distant, but it swallowed her in a thick fog, capturing her. She struggled to breathe, but she couldn't.
Gasping for air, her eyes snapped open, and she was staring into the bright lights of the Hospital Wing. It took a moment for her heart to stop beating so fast, and for her breathing to become regular, but when it did, she saw that Madame Pomfrey and Professor Dumbeldore were looking at her from two chairs set next to her bed. Professor Dumbeldore's eyes looked full of sorrow, and pain - she immediately knew something was wrong...
*
James sat on his four-poster bed staring at the wall ahead of him. He was concerned about Lily, and wanted to see her, but he knew that was impossible. He knew that he had probably sounded like a prick downstairs in the common room, but he didn't care. He was sick of being treated like a criminal by Lily's friends, who seemed to think that any time he would be alone with Lily he would do something to harm her in some way. He had put up with six years of being treated like this by them, and he couldn't take it anymore...As he entered his seventh year of Hogwarts, he had vowed to himself that they would see him as a different person, instead of who they knew him as in the past.
It wasn't as if he didn't deserve being treated that way, because he did. James played countless pranks on both Lily and her friends, as well, always showed off in front of everyone at school. This earned him the reputation of an "insolant prat" and "egotistical jerk" by Lily and her friends. Oh yes, he did deserve to be treated the way he had just been treated, but he vowed that would change.
Sighing, James pulled out his Care of Magical Creatures homework and began to write his three-foot essay on The Most Dangerous Beast in the World: The Nundu, when the dorm room door burst open, and in walked Sirius Black, James' best friend.
"Hellooo, Prongsie. Whatcha doin'?" Sirius asked, as he rummaged around on his dresser, turning around to reveal a brush in his hand, which he so carefully ran through his black hair.
"Hey Padfoot," James replied, "I'm working on my essay for Care of Magical Creatures. What are you doing up here?"
"Oh, nothing," Sirius replied with a wink. "Just getting ready to go out with Suzy." James rolled his eyes at Sirius and continued writing his essay. He could hear Sirius muttering to himself about how great he looked, and fought to contain his laughter as the mirror replied that he was a "vain dingbat".
"I am not!" replied Sirius, as he began towards the door. "I'll see you later James. Oh, and by the way, Desirée and Jacqueline are really pissed at you, so I'd stay out of their way if I were you." James nodded at Sirius's warning, and took it to heart. Looking down, he read about his essay so far...
The Most Dangerous Beast in the World: The Nundu
A Nundu, only found in east Africa, is given a Ministry of Magic Classification as highly dangerous, and known to kill wizards. It is arguably the most dangerous beast in world, and has yet to be defeated by any wizard - what's more, has never been defeated by one hundred wizards working together. This beast takes the form of a gigantic leopard which moves silently, and whose breath is poisonous to anyone who breathes it. Its diseased breath is known to kill entire villages...
Sighing, James put down his essay and devised to finish it later. It was just too hard to concentrate. He wanted to go visit Lily... he wanted to talk to her...he needed to talk to her. Devising a plan, he got off his bed, stretched and dug out a silvery material from his trunk, which sat at the end of his bed. Wrapping it around him, making sure it covered his body. James invisibly crept out of the common room, unknown to everyone, and made his way to the Hospital Wing.
*
Lily sat in silence, her eyes gaping as Professor Dumbledore quietly explained to her about her "condition". She was shocked...utterly shocked, and had no idea what to do. She wanted to scream, yell, throw something, cry out "Why me?!" but that wasn't an option...she couldn't get any sound to come out. When Dumbledore was finished talking to her, she nodded as if giving him a sign that she understood, and watched as he walked out of the Hospital Wing. Madame Pomfrey shakily told her she needed rest, and that tomorrow she could return to her regular classes and her own dorm. Again, Lily nodded and watched as Madame Pomfrey walked into her office and shut the door.
Lily was staring up at the ceiling wondering what all this meant, when the person who she least expected to see walked into the Hospital Wing.
"Hello, Lily," said the soft, yet deep voice of James Potter. Stalker, she thought.
