Chapter Five
Lilly, despite the weakened state of her body, sat straight up in bed gasping for air. "Thank Merlin." James whispered as he fell to his knees beside the bed and wrapped his arms around his wife. "Why am I all wet?" Lilly asked as she wiped several drops of water from her face, unaware of the man sitting across the room, as she pulled back and glared at her husband. "Sorry love, it was the only way I could get you to wake up." James said as he scrambled to his feet. "Oh." Lilly replied as she heard someone clearing their voice. "Lilly, my dear child, we thought we had lost you." Albus said as he crossed the room to stand next to his son. "Now that you are back with again, I am afraid I must cut my visit short. I must go and prepare for your return." Albus said as he gave his son a quick hug, nodded at the stunned look on Lilly's face and disappeared before either of them could utter a single word.
"What is talking about James?" Lilly demanded afraid to believe that they were finally returning to the world that their son lived in. "Dad is going to take us back Lills!" James exclaimed happily as he hugged his wife. "When?" Lilly asked. "Well, right now Harry is traveling around the states with Remus and Sirius. So we decided that as soon as they returned, which should be within the next few weeks, then dad will arrange for us all to meet a week before the next term starts at Hogwart's." James replied happily. Lilly sat staring at her feet as she debated with her self on weather or not to tell James what had happened as her soul had drifted through the clouds. For a very long time, she had suspected that James's father was manipulating them all, however as she had no solid proof of this, except for her own suspicions, she had yet to voice any of it to James. "Are you sure James?" Lilly asked, hoping that she had been wrong about Albus. "Yes. My father would never lie to me." James said full of confidence as he helped her to her feet. "Let's go eat dinner." He added as his stomach began to make noises, reminding him it had been several days since they had eaten anything. "You go ahead, I think I will just take a bath for now." Lilly said as she fought to try and clear her mind of all the confusion that seemed to be clouding her thinking. "Alright. I will bring you a tray up later." James said as he dropped her hand and walked out the door. Lilly nodded before making her way into the bathroom. Hoping that a long hot soak in the bath would help to clear her jumbled thoughts so that she could figure exactly what was truly happening in the wizarding world. Lilly quickly stripped off her clothing and stepped in the massive tub filled with bubbles. Easing her tired body into the hot water with a soft sigh, she could not help but feel that Albus was lying to them. He had always been so instant that Harry needed the time away from his parents to grow and explore the wizarding world despite the fact that Lilly and James both disagreed with him. Harry would be much better off, mentally at least, if his parents were a part of his life.
Instead, Albus had decided it best if Sirius, who was always getting in trouble, and never took life seriously, raised her one and only child. It was the this thought, that caused her to recall the visit with Sirius in the Spirit realm and the one that had her scrambling out of the bath and throwing on her robe as she hurried to find James.
"James he's lying." Lilly stated angrily as she stormed into the kitchen to find James in the process of making a tray of food to bring to her. "Harry and Remus and Sirius are NOT traveling around the states. Sirius is dead, and Merlin only knows where Remus is and Harry! I don't even want to think about where my baby has ended up at." Lilly exclaimed as she paced angrily around the kitchen. "Lilly, calm down and explain what you're talking about." James said as he watched Lilly move around the kitchen banging pots and pans around. "James I am telling you that your father has lied to us again!" Lilly stated in as calm of a tone as she could muster. "He has no intention of sending us back to Hogwart's or any where else for that matter. I seriously think that your father has us just where he wants us. Stuck somewhere out of the way so that he can manipulate the rest of the world to do his bidding." Lilly said as she sat down at the table. "That's a bit farfetched don't you think?" James asked, not at all inclined to believe a word she was saying about his father. "Farfetched?" Lilly asked in disbelief. "Have you not heard a word I have said?" Lilly demanded as her temper once again rose to the surface. "I heard you, I just refuse to believe what you're implying." James stated angrily. "The fact that we are stuck in this god forsaken place speaks for its self. You don't have to believe me. But I will say one thing, I will find a way out of here if it's the last thing I do!" Lilly stated as she rose to her feet and started out of the room. Pausing briefly to glance over her shoulder, she could not help by drive her point home with a few last words. "When exactly does the next Hogwart's term start?"
