From the previous chapter:
Sirius realized what was going on and started to beat the Bludgers furiously towards Montesque, but it was futile. Bellatrix Black and Rudolf Lestrange took control of the Bludgers and aimed then at James. James was 20 feet away from the snitch, 15 feet, 10 feet when suddenly, a Bludger hit him square in the back. James heard something crack, but he didn't care. All that mattered was getting the Snitch.
James started to wobble uncertainly, but he was only feet away from the snitch. He reached out and made a wild grab. He felt the cool metal in his hand and he knew that they won. He was just about to relax when the second Bludger hit him square in the head.
James tilted to the right, unable to feel anything and fell 30 feet to the ground. He landed in a crumpled heap and did not move.
Quidditch part three
Lily looked horrified at the sight that met her eyes. Her boyfriend had just gotten a Bludger to the head and back and had just fallen 30 feet off of a broomstick. She let out and anguished cry and ran to the field. She arrived at his side even before his teammates. She was shaking like mad, but she felt his pulse. It was there. She put her hand near his face and she could tell he was breathing, although it was very raggedly.
Dumbledore was rushing towards them and turned James over. He magicked him onto a stretcher and rushed up to the hospital wing with half of the Gryffindor house in his wake. When he arrived at the hospital wing, a harassed Madame Pomfrey refused to let anyone in the hospital wing. Everyone was forced to wait outside.
Lily couldn't sit still. The entire Gryffindor team, Remus, Amanda and Selina were all waiting outside. Sirius had disappeared and Remus said that he was probably trying to drown himself in the showers. Remus got up and headed off to the boys bathroom to prevent Sirius from committing suicide and told them all he'd be back later.
Amanda was curious to why Lily was so worried. "Lily, what's wrong? He'll be okay. Besides, its not like he's your boyfriend or anything. My goodness, if it was Sirius-"
Lily cut Amanda off abruptly. "What do you mean not my boyfriend?! Even though we are going out doesn't mean that I wouldn't care this much if we weren't!"
Amanda looked dumbfounded, then realized what Lily had said. "You guys are going out? That is so cute!"
"Amanda? News flash! We're in the middle of a crisis right now! Go find your boyfriend before he drowns!"
Amanda was surprised. Lily hardly ever yelled at her unless it was something serious. It was perhaps good that Remus and Sirius reappeared right then. Sirius was clutching a bottles of butterbeer and handed them out to the people sitting outside. He looked very upset.
At that moment, Dumbledore exited the hospital wing. Lily and Sirius jumped up. Dumbledore's face was grave. "It's going to be awhile. I suggest you return to Gryffindor tower to celebrate your win."
"Sir, how is he?" Lily asked breathlessly.
"It's difficult to say. As of right now, we can tell that he shattered his left shoulder, crack 3 vertebrates in his back and has a serious concussion." Dumbledore took a look at the horrified expression on Lily's face and reassured her. "Don't worry Lily. There is nothing Madame Pomfrey can't fix. All of you should head back to your tower."
Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement and headed in the direction of the common room. They headed back in silence and when the portrait hole swung open, Lily didn't enter. She turned around and headed back towards the hospital wing. She wasn't in the mood to celebrate. She didn't want to go to the hospital wing though. She decided to wander around the castle. She took a right after the portrait hall and headed in the opposite direction of the hospital wing. She was walking fast and was unaware of the tears streaming down her face.
She leaned up against a wall and slid down into a sitting position. She was joined shortly after by Remus and Sirius. They didn't want to celebrate either. They just sat in silence for awhile then Lily decided to break the silence. "James asked me to be his girlfriend this morning." Remus and Sirius turned to her. "I said yes." They both smiled weakly.
"It's about time. Remember, when you have kids I get to be the Godfather." Sirius said jokingly, trying to lighten the moment.
They just sat in silence for awhile when a portrait of a young witch with long red hair and blue eyes interrupted their thoughts. "I just got word from Dumbledore to notify three forlorn teenagers that their best friend can have visitors now. Would that be you three?" Remus, Sirius and Lily all jumped up as if they were sitting on bed of nails and thanked the witch hurriedly as they dashed to the hospital wing.
Dumbledore was outside waiting for them. His eyes were twinkling. "See, I told you, Ms. Evans. Nothing serious to worry about. He's probably sleeping, so be quiet."
"What are his injuries?" Remus asked quietly.
"Nothing that won't mend quickly. He did indeed crack three vertebrates, so Madame Pomfrey won't allow him to sit up. Nothing else is that horrible. You three can head on in there."
Lily opened the door quietly. She scanned the room and saw that there was only one other occupant. Jessica Ducharme was still in the hospital and was sitting up reading a book. She waved at the trio and pointed behind a curtain. Lily slipped quietly over there and James was lying in the bed. His eyes were open and it was quite apparent that he was quite bored. Madame Pomfrey bustled out of her office with a goblet in her hands. "Here you are Mr. Potter. One last potion and then you can visit with your friends."
James' eyes scanned the room and he saw Lily's head sticking out from behind the curtain. James tried to sit up but Madame Pomfrey pushed him flat on his back and gave him the potion. He gulped it down as quickly as he could lying down and handed the goblet back to her.
"Okay, now your friends can see you."
James' face split into a grin. "Thanks Madame Pomfrey." He motioned for Lily to come sit down. Remus and Sirius followed after her. Lily sat on the bed while Remus and Sirius fought over the single chair. Remus won and Sirius was left standing and fuming.
"Take it easy Padfoot. While you're standing, go steal pillows off of the other beds so I can sit up." James took Lily's hand and smiled up at her. Sirius came back with three pillows. "Good. Now prop me up like the king I am."
"Bloody ridiculous," Sirius muttered and was just about to prop James up when Lily snatched the pillows from him.
"I'll do this. Go find a bloody chair so we don't have to listen to you moan and groan." Lily put the pillows behind James and took her place back on the bed. Sirius came back with a chair.
Sirius sat in his chair and his face split into a grin. "So I hear you two are finally engaged."
Lily turned crimson and muttered, "We aren't engaged."
Sirius gave her a knowing look. "You might as well be. Come on, when's the wedding? What are the kids names going to be? I'm going to be the godfather, right?"
James was laughing. He feigned a looked of seriousness and said, "Kid's names. Haven't thought too much about that. How about Harry James Potter and Haley Lillian Potter? Sound good Lily?"
She was laughing as well. "Perfect. And Sirius, yes you can be the godfather to our first born. I don't know if I want to torture the rest of them. We're supposed to have 20, remember?"
"Oh, yea. Does that mean Remus gets to be a godfather too? How about Peter?" Sirius asked.
"Where is that little rat anyway?" James asked craning his neck, wincing in pain.
Lily started to massage his neck and said, "I have no idea. Marissa wasn't at the game. Maybe she cornered him or something."
Sirius didn't look concerned. "Who cares? He's been hanging out with a few shady Slytherins lately. I wonder what's up with him."
James cut him off. "Like you said, who cares? Lets talk about the match."
Lily groaned, but she didn't mind. At least James' concussion wasn't that serious. Jessica got up from her bed and joined them. She wanted to hear every detail of the match since she wasn't there. After an hour and a half of endless Quidditch talk, Madame Pomfrey came back to check on them.
"James Potter!" She screeched. "I told you not to sit up! You could damage your back even more!"
"But Madame Pomfrey, he is propped up on pillows-"
"I don't care Mr. Black! He could still- Propped on pillows you said? Well at least you aren't total idiots. Mr. Potter, drink this."
She held out a steaming goblet to James. "What is it?" He asked apprehensively.
"It will strengthen your back. Drink it."
James pinched his nose and downed the nasty smelling liquid in one gulp. Once Madame Pomfrey was satisfied that he had drunk the potion, she exited and James began to gag. "Get me water!" Lily gave him a cup of water. He drank that and he shuddered. "That stuff is foul."
"What did you expect? Pumpkin juice?" Lily asked him with a grin on her face.
It was nearing the evening. Madame Pomfrey bustled through again and told the visitors that it was dinner time and to leave the hospital wing. James looked crestfallen. Lily turned to Madame Pomfrey. "Madame Pomfrey, would it be okay if I brought James and Jessica some food and ate dinner with them?" Lily asked, her voice dripping with sweetness.
"Of course you can dear." Remus and Sirius opened their mouths, but Madame Pomfrey cut them off. "But only you."
"Thank you." Lily dashed down to the kitchen and got three plates together. She shot Remus and Sirius a pitying look, but ran back up to the hospital wing. Jessica had vacated back to her bed and had a book out. Lily gave Jessica her food and went to eat with James.
They sat and ate in silence until Lily broke it. "You played very well today."
James smiled. "Fanks." He swallowed his mouthful of mashed potatoes and grinned. "Thanks. I'm glad we won. I must have missed quite a celebration in the common room. It was a bit like the Cup last year. Same line up and everything. We played a fair game. Wouldn't say the same about the Slytherins, but lets not go there."
"They didn't play fair. I did think it was funny that Reggie didn't get the Quaffle once though. He looked a bit clumsy."
"Sirius got all of the Quidditch skills in that family. Bella just plays dirty and his older cousin Narcissa thinks she can play, but it's all talk."
Lily sighed. "He has a really big family."
"Yea, all purebloods are connected somehow. Sirius is like my third cousin twice removed on my mother's uncle's side. Some distant relation, but with the exception of a few people, most of the Blacks don't associate with Potters. Most Blacks are into all of that Pureblood stuff, but Potters don't care."
Lily smiled. "I'm glad that you don't mind associating with people who aren't purebloods. Like me."
"Like I could ignore you anyway!"
Madame Pomfrey came in. "Good to see you brought food Ms. Evans, but visiting hours are ending in a few minutes, so say good bye."
"Ok, thank you for letting me eat her Madame Pomfrey."
Madame Pomfrey nodded and went back into her office. James lowered his voice. "Listen, I have a cloak I want you to use tonight. Ask Sirius to get it. You can sneak back in here later around midnight. Madame Pomfrey is usually asleep by then."
"What do you mean a cloak you want me to use? I have my own cloak-"
"Not like this one. This is an Invisibility Cloak."
Lily stifled a cry of outrage. She whispered, "I knew you must have one! That's how you were always sneaking out in the middle of the night. I wanted to catch you so bad."
"Well now you know. Ask Sirius to get it and you can come back later tonight if you want."
"Ok, but if I get caught, I'll blame it on you."
"Not like the teachers would be surprised. Now get out of here before Madame Pomfrey comes back."
"Okay, bye." Lily exited the Hospital wing and went to Gryffindor tower. She spotted Sirius and asked him to fetch the invisibility cloak. He did so willingly, saying "That it was about time Lily began to digress and start to break rules."
Lily bit back her remark, as difficult as it was, and sat in the common room working on all of her weekend homework. At five minutes to 12, she packed all of her books away and scanned the common room. She was the last one in there. She slipped up to her room and put on the invisibility cloak. She slipped stealthily down the stairs and wasn't surprised to see Amanda and Sirius on the couch. She guessed that when she had went upstairs, they had vacated downstairs. She didn't say anything and exited the portrait hole.
"Who's there?" the Fat Lady squawked. Lily didn't answer and just kept on walking. She went all the way to the hospital wing without any encounters. She edged open the door and breathed a sigh of relief. Except from the faint light coming from James' bed, nothing else was on. She slipped over to his bed and watched him with interest for a few moments. He was reading a book.
She slipped off the invisibility cloak and sat on the bed. James' face lit up and he tried to hide the book he was reading, but Lily was too quick. She snatched the book and read the title. It was Charming Charms by Charisma Sherm. James reddened. "Just for a bit of background research you know. I'm horrendous at charms and-"
Lily shushed him with her finger. She crawled into his arms and just lied there. They didn't have to say anything. They were perfectly comfortable. A bit too comfortable in fact. They both fell asleep.
They were awoken by the annoying prodding around 5:30 in the morning. Sirius and Remus were looking down at them, grins playing on their faces.
James groaned. "What are you doing up this early Sirius? Did the tower catch on fire or something?"
Sirius' eyes were twinkling. "No, something just told me that we should get up here and check on you. Good thing we did too." He motioned towards Lily. "Imagine what Madame Pomfrey would say?"
Lily turned over. "Well thanks for waking us up. I should probably get back to the common room before the girls realize I'm gone."
Remus looked at her. "Too late. Selina didn't know where you were. She didn't know where Amanda was either, but Amanda and Sirius fell asleep on the couch but she was worried about you. She asked me where you were and Sirius grudgingly agreed to come up here to make sure everything was okay."
"Well I'm going to go back to the common room then. Classes start soon."
"Lily, calm down. It's Sunday." Sirius rolled his eyes. "The only thing academic today is all the homework I put off. Can I copy yours?" He gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Sorry Padfoot, but no. How will you ever learn?" Lily stood up and stretched, ignoring Sirius' look of confusion. She gave James a kiss on the cheek and sauntered out of the hospital wing.
Sirius looked at James accusingly. "Padfoot? How does she know about that?"
"Well, she needed help in Transfiguration, so I decided to help her out. Besides, she's my girlfriend. You said yourself that we're going to get married someday. Trust is key in a relationship."
They all burst out laughing. They heard a sound in the next room and quieted down.
"Hey James, since she knows about us, you should sneak to the Shrieking Shack for a date. Have a little picnic thing." Remus suggested.
"That'd be nice. Only she doesn't know about us. I didn't tell her about you Moony. Wanted to make sure it was okay with you first."
"It doesn't really matter anymore. We're in final year and we're all friends. If she doesn't want to talk to me because of something trivial like that, oh well."
James shook his head. "Lily isn't like that. You've known her for seven years. She's put up with me, I'm sure she can deal with that."
"You're right. In fact, I'd feel better if she knew. Just tell her not to tell Selina. I want to tell her myself."
James nodded. "She won't tell. Now about this shrieking shack date."

"You're right. In fact, I'd feel better if she knew. Just tell her not to tell Selina. I want to tell her myself."
James nodded. "She won't tell. Now about this shrieking shack date."

Authors Note: I love pointless drama! I should be a soap opera fan, but I'm not. Anyway, I've decided that unless I get 65 reviews, I'm not updating for two weeks. I'm mean, I know. The more you review, the faster I'll update, so read and review!!!
Review!! See that little button on the left hand of the screen.? Click it!
