Title: Open the Flower Inside of Me.
Disclaimer: I own nothing that is out of the Harry Potter books or movies. I will be adding some of my own characters.
*~*~* Chapter 3: I Am So Sorry *~*~*
Lily had been back at school after going to Hogsmeade for about four hours. It was quite late at night. She had been studying in the library when she fell asleep. She got up and started to walk back up to Gryffindor tower. 'I wonder what the Marauders are doing now?' she thought.
*~*~* The Prefects Bathroom *~*~*
Sirius had turned away while Snape got changed and into the bath. He watched him swim to the other end of the bath. The bubbles had risen high so he wouldn't be able to see Sirius, even though he was under the invisibility cloak. Once Sirius was sure that Snape couldn't see him he muttered a spell.
" Beatuifeminaltation" (Beauti-femin-al-tation) (A/N: you will find out what it means soon.)
Snape still hadn't seen or heard Sirius so he carefully got up and crept outside. He stayed behind a suit of armour while he waited for Snape to run outside.
*~*~* The Other Marauders *~*~*
"Ok there is Malfoy, so on the count of three. One…Two…Three" James announced. All at once they said their spells.
Remus said: 'Pinkulius' (Pink-u-li-us)
While James said: 'Mindsnapegirlius' (Mind-snape-girl-e-us)
Peter said: 'foolpicardius' (fool-pi-card-e-us)
Malfoy rose up into the air while a bright light shone upon him. Once he was lowered down he had transformed. His hair, eyes and skin were bright pink and his clothes looked like a fool's.
"Where is my Snape-e-o?" He shouted, "I want my Snape-e-o!" He was screaming.
*~*~* Meanwhile *~*~*
"AAAHHHH" Was heard from the prefect's bathroom.
Snape looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he was…
"I'm a girl," He cried "I'm not supposed to look this way. Whoever did this is gonna pay."
*~*~*
Lily was walking past the Prefect's Bathroom when she heard a scream.
'I wonder who that could be?' she thought to herself.
'Maybe I should go and see." She was about to open the door when someone came out. This person pushed Lily to the ground she went flying across the floor just as Sirius stepped out he tripped over and kicked Lily into the wall…
*~*~* In the Hospital Wing *~*~*
Lily opened her eyes weakly, she had a splitting headache and could hardly remember anything. She suddenly heard a loud shriek and then she was choking.
"Bella get off me." She choked
"Sorry" Bella whispered.
"LILEEE" Sirius shouted.
"Well hello miss Lily." Remus announced taking her hand and softly kissing it.
"Hey Lily how are you feeling?" James asked from the bottom of the bed.
"I have a headache but I will be ok. Hey where's Peter?" she asked looking around.
"Oh he went down to dinner he said he was hungry. I don't know why he isn't here. It was partly his fault it happened.
"Wait how was it his fault?" Lily asked a little bit confused.
"Well…" Sirius started
"Just tell her. She will understand." Bella said.
"Ok. Well you see, the Marauders and I decided to do a prank on Snape and Malfoy. I turned Snape into a girl, Remus changed Malfoy's features all pink, Peter changed his clothes to look like a fools and James…"
"I made him think that Snape was his girlfriend. It was the best prank ever, until you were put in the middle of it." James finished.
"I still don't understand how I got in here." She said but more calmly.
"You see, when Snape ran from the bathroom he pushed you over. I tried to get out of the way but instead I tripped over you and slammed you into the wall. You got knocked out and have been here since Sunday." Sirius bowed his head.
"Wait a minute. Since Sunday? What do you mean?" Lily asked again.
"Today is Wednesday." Remus told her
"WHAT!" Lily screamed. "It can't be. Charms is on Monday. It is my favourite class." She told them.
"Well Madam Pomfrey said that you won't be out till Friday." Bella exclaimed.
"And I don't blame her. You had quite a blow to the head there Lily pad." James said
"Lily pad?" Lily asked.
"Yeah its my new nick name for you." He told everyone.
"That's it out, everyone out miss Evans needs her rest." Madame Pomfrey shooed everyone out and just before she pushed Sirius out the door…
"Wait, can Mr. Black stay? Please he will be quiet while I sleep its just I like having company." Lily told her. She huffed and got quite red in the face but in the end let him stay.
"You have been so nice to me, yet you don't realise I put you here." Sirius said
"And you don't realise that I used to come here all the time because of you that I really liked knowing that this prank wasn't aimed at me and that I had friends to come and see me. It makes me feel loved. I thought I was never going to have friends and now I do." She now had tears in her eyes.
"Lily you will never loose the friends you have now. I'm so sorry I put you though so much torture. Will you ever forgive me and the Marauders?" He asked his eyes showed that he meant it.
"How could I say no?" She told him. She then pulled him into a long hug.
Just then an owl flew in through the open window and landed on top of Lily. It had a green enveloped letter and a nice big parcel. She took off the parcel and letter then the owl flew off out the window. She looked at the letter.
"I know howlers are screaming letters and are red, but what are green letters and what do they do?" She asked Sirius, as he was a pureblood.
"Just open it." He said. " It isn't bad," He added
She opened the letter carefully and it said in a normal voice, nice and sweet…
"I'm sorry Lily. Will you forgive me and the Marauders?"
She recognised the voice as James.
"You can tell him through the letter. Just speak to it and seel the letter again." Sirius told her.
She looked at him strangely but ended up speaking back into the envelope.
"Yes James I forgive you and everyone else. Thankyou for caring so much." She said.
Lily then opened the parcel. Inside was a box of Bertie Bott's every flavour beans and a broach of an emerald lily. Yet again tears appeared in Lily's eyes. She had never been so happy before.
"Mr. Black I'm sorry to say, but Miss Evans has to get some rest now. You can come back tomorrow." She told him and before Lily could say anything she had shut the door behind him.
"Rest Miss Evans. You need it. Now this might taste bad but it will help you get some sleep." She said as she passed her a glass of thick orange liquid. Lily made a face as she drank every last drop. Before she could gag she was asleep.
Lily was dreaming but of something new…
*~*~* Lily's dream *~*~*
Lily was spinning. Faster, Faster, Faster until suddenly she stops. She was in the middle of a forest and she was facing a path. She knew what she had to do. She had to go down that path. It was her road to the future. Just as she stepped onto the path it melted so that all she could see was nothing. She started to fall and as she was falling she noticed her friends to. They were all going to be in pain soon…
*~*~* End of Dream *~*~*
Lily woke with someone staring at her. She couldn't scream her mouth was blocked.
"Is Miss alright?" Asked a small House Elf. "Mint saw Miss turning over in her sleep. Miss looked upset. Is there anything Mint could get you?" Asked the House Elf again.
"I'm fine, but could you go up to the Gryffindor tower and find Sirius. He will be in the 6th year's dormitory. When you find him can you tell him that Lily had a nightmare. Tell him that she wants you here right after breakfast or sooner, but not now. Tell him I need to be alone for a little while. Can you do that?" Lily asked.
"I will do that for Miss Lily. Mint likes Sir Sirius. He is Mint's friend along with Sir James, Sir Remus and Sir Peter. Now Miss Lily you get some rest. Don't worry Mint is a very good House Elf. She will tell him your message." And with that she jumped off Lily and disappeared.
*~*~* In the Boy's Dormitory. *~*~*
"Sirius Black Sir. Sirius Black Sir. Wake up. Mint has important news from Miss Lily." Mint called. Sirius still didn't wake up, but James did,
"What's wrong with Lily?" He asked
"She asked Mint to tell Sir Sirius that she had a nightmare and that she wanted him to come se her at breakfast or sooner, but not now because she needed time to think." Mint told James.
"Did she tell you what it was about?" He asked again.
"No Sir, but she was tossing and turning in her sleep." She told him.
"Thankyou Mint. You may go now." He told her.
"Yes Sir." She bowed and then left.
'I'm going to go to Lily now' thought James. He grabbed his invisibility cloak and left for the Hospital Wing…
