Lily woke up staring at a white ceiling. Madame Pomfrey bustled in carrying a goblet.
"Good, you're awake. Drink this."
Lily peered at the orange liquid inside.
"What is this?"
"It's pumpkin juice, Miss. Evans." Madame Pomfrey said, looking at her oddly.
Lily sheepishly smiled, and heard a snigger from the corner. Her head whipped around and she spotted James sitting in a corner.
"Potter, what are you doing here?"
He looked mildly surprised. "You passed out as soon as you saw me." Suddenly he grinned. "Of course, all girls fall at my feet."
Lily groaned and rolled her eyes.
Suddenly she sat up.
Madame Pomfrey seemed to have a sixth sense of movement because at that moment she rushed in.
"Madame Pomfrey, could I leave now?"
Madame Pomfrey nodded, and Lily almost ran out of the hospital wing.
Harry and Ron collapsed onto a couch in the common room. They looked at each other.
Ron spoke up first. "D'you realize that people will be mistaking you for your dad?"
Harry nodded. "Well, considering my mum, I mean Lily, I think so too."
"Maybe there's some sort of spell that can disguise your hair...?" Ron waved his wand vaguely. It made a cackling noise. Ron stared at it. When he looked back at Harry, he burst out laughing.
"Ron? Ron! Why are you laughing?"
Ron stopped laughing. When he opened his eyes again, he burst out laughing again.
"RON! Ron, what is it?"
Ron managed to wheeze one word before he started to cry with laughter.
"HAHAHA.....hair!...HAHAHA!"
Harry was confused. He knew his hair was uncontrollable, and Ron knew since their first year. Harry picked up a mirror in a cupboard (A/N: *shrugs* this chapter is not very good. I like the other chapter better.), and looked at his reflection. He checked his hair.
"PURPLE?? YOU TURNED MY HAIR biPURPLE/i/b????"
Harry tackled Ron, who was still laughing, and knocked the wind out of him. Harry was furious.
"CHANGE IT BACK! CHANGE IT BACK!"
"I DON'T KNOW HOW I DID IT! I CAN'T CHANGE IT!"
"CHANGE IT BACK! CHANGE IT BACK!"
At this time, Lily ran in, closely followed by James (A/N : this sounds like a race).
Lily gaped.
James grinned. "Can I join in?"
Three voices shouted, "NO."
Harry looked up, and immediately stopped pummelling Ron. He stood up shakily and walked towards James and Lily.
i And this must be my dad.../i
"Are you-James Potter?"
James stared at the boy in front of him.
"Er-yeah. Why is your hair purple?" He looked at Ron. "How did you do that? Can you show me the spell?"
Lily ignored James and turned to Harry. "Could you tell me who you are?"
Harry gulped. "I...I'm Harry Po...Harry Porter. And this is-" -he indicated Ron over his shoulder- "Ron Waters."
Lily held out a hand and tried not to stare at his hair. "I'm Lily Evans."
She was surprised when he said, "I know."
Harry hurriedly explained, "I saw you this morning. I think you thought I was...James."
Lily remembered James and Arthur. "That was you two?"
They both nodded.
There was silence for a while before James spoke up. "Er- Ron, was it? Do you have that spell?"
Lily glared at him. James ignored Lily.
Ron looked confused. "Look, I dunno how I did it- I just kind of waved my wand a bit-" he waved his wand-"and I was just wondering if there was a spell to change Harry's hair."
At these words, Harry's hair started to flash the colours of the rainbow in order. James and Ron burst out laughing, and Lily looked torn between anxiety and amusement. She handed Harry a mirror.
Harry took one look at it and hollered, "RON!"
Lily grabbed his arm and pulled him back from strangling Ron.
"Potter, Waters! GET OUT!"
James and Ron stumbled out of the portrait hole, still howling with laughter.
Harry was grumbling. "And he calls himself my friend..."
Lily sat down. "Let's see if I can fix your hair. It was black, right?"
Harry nodded as he sat as well. Lily pointed her wand at his hair and muttered a few words. All the spell did was halt the colour-changing, and his hair colour was now an orange colour that reminded him of Ron. Lily tried a few other spells that didn't have any effect at all and started to grumble.
"Just ihow/i am I supposed to fix it if I don't know the spell that caused it?"
Harry smiled wistfully. Lily reminded him of the mother he never got to know. iWhat are you talking about? She /iisi your mum, only...younger./i
Suddenly his hair flashed through all the colours that they could possibly imagine before halting at the same black hair Harry had. Harry looked into the mirror, then back at Lily as his face cracked into a grin.
"Thanks Lily!"
He stopped grinning. Lily looked as if she'd been hit by a truck.
"Lily? Is something wrong?"
Lily whispered, "Your ieyes/i!"
She was scared. iNo-one/i she had met before had eyes like her. No-one, it seemed, except this Harry Porter.
Harry suddenly smiled, a sad smile. Lily smiled back, unnerved by her-no, his-eyes. iWow, he has such a beautiful smile...and his eyes, even though they're like mine...they're beautiful too.../i
Lily suddenly realized she was staring, a hurriedly looked down. She was uncomfortably aware how close they were on the couch.
Harry smiled inwardly. He never thought he see a mother so uncomfortable around her son. But then again, she didn't know he was from the future, never mind her son.
Suddenly a noise came from behind them.
"WOOOHHOOO! James and Lily! Alright! You owe me 50 galleons!"
Another voice mumbled. "Alright, hold on."
Harry turned around. His jaw dropped.
