Sorry this took sooooooooo long! I kinda had a brain fart. The inspiration is going fast. But don't worry, I'll still finish this story.

Chapter 7: In the Hospital Wing

Lily came out of the library, and looked out one of the windows facing the Forbidden Forest. Suddenly, a tiny figure was limping across the grounds. Lily was startled as to why someone would go into the Forbidden Forest, because of all the creatures that live there. Hmmm . . . I wonder who that is. Lily questioned herself as she walked to the Hospital Wing. Lily wanted to be a healer, so the only way to gain experience was to work as an intern with Madam Alexandria, the school nurse.

James was almost to the castle. He would've just apparated, but it was almost impossible to apparate inside of Hogwarts. He raced up the many stairs to Dumbledore's office (I don't know where his office is, so bear with me). He stopped almost instantly in front of the stone gargoyle and said the password, "Sugar Quills" (sorry if I'm not original). He walked up the magical staircase and was about to knock when Dumbledore told him to come in. How does he do that? James thought shockingly. He limped inside and winced, he forgot all about the pain.

"Dumbledore, sir, you were right! There were Death Eaters in the forest. And they were talking about someone, I think it was Lily Evans, sir. And then we attacked, some of them apparated, but we knocked the others unconscious," James said all of this quickly, but Dumbledore got the point.

"What about Sirius and Remus?" asked Dumbledore with concern.

"They're fine, sir.

"Okay, go to the Hospital Wing and get your ankle fixed. I'll go to the forest with some other teachers," he said hurriedly.

"Yes, sir," and with that he left.

James limped out of Dumbledore's office and was going in the direction of the Hospital Wing.

He walked in and was suddenly bombarded by Madam Alexandria. She was fussing all over him.

"Goodness gracious, dear! What happened?" Madam Alexandria asked hysterically, getting him to the nearest bed.

"It was just an accident. I was on one of the school brooms and it kind of bucked me off," James lied.

"Oh, dear. I knew flying was dangerous. I keep on warning the students and the teachers, but do they listen to me? Nooooooooo. It's like they know more than I do. But who's the one with the medical degree? (I don't know if they have medical degrees) Who did the finest magical, medical doctor out there train? Who's the one with the white cap and gown?! Not them! But me! ME! ME!!!!!" she was screaming now.

"Um. Madam, my leg kinda hurts," said James meekly. He was starting to get a little freaked out.

"Oh, I'm sorry child. I'm just not feeling good. My intern will help you. She's almost as good as me," she chuckled warily, "She'll be back in five minutes."

"Ok," James was glad that Madam Alexandria wasn't going to be here. He was waiting when her intern showed up. He was dazed. Lily Evans was her intern?! God, she looks even more beautiful up close.

"Oh my goodness, James? Are you alright?" she asked.

He snapped out of his daze. "Uh, yeah. Just a little flying accident."

"Oh. What happened to Madam Alexandria?" she asked, searching the cabinet for some potion to soothe the pain.

"She kind of lost it. She was screaming on how everyone thinks they know better than her, or something like that."

Lily shook her head. "She gets like that sometimes. She - oh here it is," said Lily, holding up the navy blue vial in her delicate hands.

"Here. Just drink all of this up and the pain will go away," said Lily pouring it inside a huge cup.

"Does that thing taste disgusting?" asked James, wrinkling up his nose. If the taste wasn't disgusting, the smell sure was.

"No, it doesn't have a taste," said Lily handing him the cup, "Now, drink up. You don't want all of this pain, do you?"

"I've had worse," said James modestly. Remembering how he lost his bones in his right arm from a Gilderoy Lockhart incident. He drank the cup in one gulp and the pain was gone.

"How does it feel?" asked Lily, trying not to stare at him.

Oh my gosh, he looks so hot. Even if he was in pain, he still looked cute.

Wait up, Evans. Don't you be saying that about him. Remember the other times you thought that about a guy? They broke your heart.

I know, I know. But I can't help it. I'm falling for him, and fast.

She tried not to focus on the really hot guy with windswept hair, those very deep eyes, and that cute smile.

"So, what did you get yourself into?" asked Lily, trying to block out the really provocative images from her brain.

"Well, I was on one of the school brooms when it bucked me off, from like 20 ft. in the air. I guess I just twisted my ankle and got a few bruises," said James, like it was nothing. It wasn't nothing. He didn't want to lie to Lily.

"Well, please be careful, James. It would be kind of sad if you fell and all the girls found out and started to fuss over you. I would never be able to get to help you then, you know," she just realized what she said and blushed. Good thing she was turned around at the time.

"Well, yeah it would be kind of sad if you didn't even get to help me at all," said James.

Oh my gosh! Is he flirting with me?

No, Evans. Don't you even think about that! Don't forget what Amos Diggory, Josh Langley, and, even, Michael Klein did to you. Don't let that happen again. You have to be careful!

I know. I just wished there was a guy different from all of them.

Lily sighed. She did wish there was someone special for her. Not all those phonies that say things they don't mean just to get inside your pants.

"Is there anything wrong, Lily?"

"No, nothing. I'm just a little bit - exhausted," she finished, then collapsed.

"Lily!" panicked James, "Madam, Madam! Lily just collapsed!" )*&^%^&*)(*&^%^&*)(*&^%^&*)(*&^&*)(*&^&*)(*&^
