"Help me!" A patronizing voice screamed. A blinding red blaze filled the
empty darkness. A loud shrill laugh filled Lily's mind.
"Jody?" A deep once called. Lily screamed along with the woman as the burning sensation ran up her legs. Pain overtook the dream as the distant man and woman hollered. Fire spread over Lily's body, flames flickered in the darkest parts of her brain, and death hung in the very air she breathed. A green light was shot forward with a bang. The sight of a skull wrapped in a slithering Serpent made Lily gasp, but she could not expand her lungs, she attempted to cry out as smoke filled her lungs. Tears slipped down her cheeks as she screamed making no sound, and a heavy darkness covered her.
When Lily's eyes finally fluttered open she realized she was surrounded by the familiar white linens that hung in the Hospital wing. She was relieved to find that breathing wasn't painful. She let out a sigh, and immediately tried to raise her hand to her, now throbbing throat, but couldn't move it. Every bone in her body was frozen. She let out a soft moan, as she tried to speak, hoping that Madam Pompfry would notice that she was awake. Somebody stirred at the end of her bed. She remained puzzled for a moment staring down her nose, unable to lift her head. Another moan was released.
"Lily?" Madam Pompfry said worriedly, and instantly the hanging were retched open, blinding Lily with sunlight. Madam Pompfry smiled at her and twirled her wand muttering a spell. A tingling sensation filled the coldness that had settled on her bones.
"Drink This" Madam Pompfry held out a cup containing a bubbling green liquid to her. Lily realized she could move finally and reached out for the cup. She raised an eyebrow at it but drank it anyway. As she drank a warm feeling spread over her sore throat.
"Ahh!" She smiled, when finishing her cup. She could talk now.
"Shh!" Madam Pompfry warned, "You'll wake up Mr. Black!"
"Sirius?" Lily repeated surprised,
"Yes, the poor dear has been with you all night,"
"Madam Pompfry?" Sirius questioned sleepily lifting up his head.
"She's awake now Black," She smiled at him and the clicking of her shoes carried her out of sight.
"Lily!" Sirius cried grinning as he slid the chair he was in up to the front of her bed.
"Sirius what are you doing here?"
"Oh Lily, when we came in last night, we could hear you screaming from the corridors."
"Bu-"
"Dumbledore ran past us through the portrait hole, we followed him and he muttered something before dashing up the stairs. A few minutes later her returned carrying you in his arms, you were screaming something wild, and lashing out at him. Lily you were soaked in sweat."
She blushed realizing she had been wearing a white nightgown.
"The dream," She whispered,
"And then he ran you here, and I followed, Oh I was soo worried,"
"But how did you-"
"He dashed in here and shouted for Madam Pompfry, she immediately but a body bind spell on you and forced down some nasty looking medicine, before Dumbledore placed you on this bed." Sirius explained rather than answering her question, "And I sat here, and Dumbledore said something to Madam Pompfry about your dream, and about your visions, your seeing ability."
"Siri-"
"And Lily you were right!" he cried, "You were right about last night," he brought his face closer to her, "Remus bit somebody!" he whispered with tears forming in his eyes, "You scared me!"
"Siri-"
"Lily," he pleaded, "I am sorry, I am so sorry I ever doubted you, I really care about you!"
"Don't worry about it,"
Sirius reached out wrapping his arms around her and hugged her close. He held her like that for a while, before whispering into her ear,
"I was just scared Lily, what you told me came as a shock," Lily pulled away and saw the dark circles around his deep shining eyes, and his concern had drawn itself over his face, " I don't want to loose you,"
"You won't" Lily promised.
After a little while Sirius looked in her eyes,
"Lily, what was your dream about?" he questioned.
"Well," she hesitated, "Well, it was about a fire, a woman, screaming in agony, a laugh, a burning sensation, the smoke, the smell of death, and," she shuddered, Sirius took her hand into his and squeezed it encouraging her, "A green flash, a skull wrapped in a serpent,"
Sirius jaw fell,
"The Dark Mark?" He whispered.
Lily looked up at him,
"Its the mark of the Dark Lord, I saw my brother practicing it once, to many wizards and witches it means fear,"
Lily was confused, but didn't get to ask because Madam Pompfry was bustling towards them,
"Alright you two, Evans, you need rest, Black, head back to your dormitory and get some sleep, you are excused from class,"
Sirius looked longingly at Lily before lowering his head. He kissed her lips softly, and Lily responded just as he pulled away. He smiled at her, touched her cheek. Madam Pompfrey clucked disapprovingly, as Sirius lowered his head down beside Lily's. She could feel his breath against her the side of her face,
"Lily?" he whispered,
"Mmm?" she smiled, because of the kiss, and because Sirius's breath was tickling her face,
"I love you," He stood up straight and grinned at her, as she lay their dumbstruck. With out another word he left. Madam Pompfry busied herself fixing Lily's sheets and telling her to go to sleep. As Lily lay their wondering about Sirius, and the kiss they had just shared, Madam Pompfry muttered to herself, "KISSING in the HOSPITAL, REALLY!"
