A/n; Ok, probably the only reason two chapters were released in the same day was because… I didn't have writer's block for once in my career! So, now I'm working on chapter 11 obviously. Ooh! I saw Lord of the Rings on Saturday! MAN THAT MOVIE RULES! I must go to buy the books now considering… well… * looks nervous * I never actually read them. But I plan on writing LOTR stories when I do read them, so look for some 'exciting' LOTR fanfiction coming when I finish the series. Happy reading!

Lily's eyes felt like ten-pound weights were placed on them as she tried painfully – and rather unsuccessfully – to wake up. The room she'd been resting in was almost too quiet for Hogwarts.
"Lily?" A voice asked, echoing off the walls. Lily immediately tried to respond, but found she couldn't move her lips at all, and her limbs seemed to be plastered to wherever she was lying.
I'm here, whoever you are! Lily thought to herself.
James sighed and folded his hands in his lap. He'd been trying to communicate with Lily for the past forty-five minutes and she still wasn't responding.
"How's she doing?" Sirius asked tentatively, knocking on the door. James turned around with some difficulty, as the chairs were very hard and very plastic.
"Not so good," James said sadly, turning back to a pale Lily.
Sirius sighed heavily as he sunk into a rather scary looking blue plastic chair he'd suspected one of the larger students had sat in.
"She's bound to wake up in no time, James, I know it," he said, trying to sit in a comfortable position or nearly attempting the impossible.
James stared at Sirius for a few moments, watching his friend squirm. When Sirius finally settled, defeated, Madame Blank, the nurse came teetering in on over-exaggerated white high-heels.
"It's the chicken lady!" James hissed, ducking his head so she wouldn't hear him. Sirius cocked an eyebrow.
"What?" He whispered fiercely back, looking confused.
"She's the lady who took care of my bloody nose that one day… the one that I told you fancied me?" James said exasperatedly as he repeated himself.
"Geez, aren't you the modest one!" Sirius said in an undertone, rolling his eyes.
"Well it's the truth!" James hissed.
"How is Miss Evans doing? Any signs?" Madame Blank asked, her spectacles catching the sun and practically blinding Sirius. He waved his arms around trying to block out the daunting rays from her glasses and was promptly due on the floor several seconds later.
The thud on the floor must have caused a chain reaction from the ground to Lily's bed because suddenly her right arm moved and she wrinkled her face in irritation of disturbing her coma-like slumber.
James immediately leapt up in his chair, careful to step over a writhing Sirius.
"Lily? Can you hear me? It's James," he said loudly, making sure that if she was awakening that he was heard.
"MY EYES!" Sirius yelled. He'd outgrown wriggling on the ground and was now running around the room with bad aim as he catapulted into a stack of neatly piled cotton swabs.
"What are you trying to do? Give us all heart attacks?" James hollered, trying to catch Sirius who was now being chased by Madame Blank as well. She stepped on James' foot with her thin 6-inch heel and he suddenly stopped moving to yelp in pain.
Lily's eyes slowly opened to havoc being wreaked in front of her bed. James was hopping up and down on one foot yelling obscenities; Sirius was running around, cleverly ducking a rather slow Madame Blank, wobbling on embellished white nurse shoes.
"HEY! LILY'S UP!" Sirius hollered cheerfully, quickly sitting down on his previously claimed lumpy plastic chair. Madame Blank gave a shriek of surprise as she fell to the floor with some extra momentum from heaving herself towards Sirius.
"Where am I?" Lily asked weakly, looking around the room.
"Um… well, you kind of fell 50 feet in the air from your broomstick into the dark abyss of the lake. I rescued you after it threw you," James said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Lily looked at him with her eyes big. "Are you serious? A broom threw me off?"
James looked grave. "We'll try and find the person who hexed the broom… well, we think someone hexed it, but we aren't sure."
"It's ok, I mean, as long as I'm fine-" Lily started. James put a hand over her mouth suddenly.
"Trust me, Lily. We are definitely getting revenge on whoever did this. You nearly died!" James said, looking deep into her eyes. Lily shrunk back slightly.
"O-ok James," she stammered.
"Miss Evans! You're finally awake!" Madame Blank crowed. Her hair was rather disheveled looking and it made her look more like a rooster than a chicken. Lily almost burst into hysterics.
"See if you can move your… hips." Madame Blank said, looking at Lily expectantly. Lily looked repulsed and wondered briefly if James had set Madame Blank up to this with a trial lap dance.
Lily slowly shifted her weight and felt immediate pressure on her ribs. She tried to move her shoulders but her ribs ached in protest. Her head whipped up to look at Madame Blank.
"What'd you do to me?" Lily shouted.
"I didn't do anything, all I did was bind your ribcage because they looked broken." Madame Blank said innocently, looking honest.
Lily spluttered for a few seconds, her face turning a medium red. "They looked broken? I can barely breathe, lady! Much less move my hips!" She said, flashing James a look of pure venom. James shrugged suggestively.
"Don't be pert, young lady. Mister Black assisted." Madame Blank snapped. Lily's face turned from red to an interesting shade of pink.
"Sirius… helped? With binding… good lord!" Lily said, and fell back onto her pillows in another dead faint.
"You're joking, right?" James said, looking at Madame Blank, who was frantically trying to revive Lily.
"No, I'm quite serious! Mister Black said he'd had impeccable medical training and I let him help," she said truthfully.
"Sirius Black! Does this insane woman speak the truth?" James hollered rounding in on Sirius huddled in a corner.
"Um… well… she shouldn't have trusted me in the first place!" He squeaked.
"I cannot believe you'd do something like that!" James said. He briskly stood up and grabbed Sirius by the ear and marched him outside, all the while Sirius screaming loud curses at his companion.
