Chapter 26-I'm Not Dead! (Strike One)
"I can't believe that James is dead. I still can't believe it. It's been hours since Phillip told me, but really, he just can't be dead!" sobbed Lily, still being hugged by Sirius. They had searched for James and Carrie for about five hours and there was still no sign of them. Lily had finally began to lose hope when they found James' pocketwatch laying in the forest near the fire.
"I...well, we can...I mean..." began Sirius, but he could not think of what to say. This was all to hard for him, he kept sobbing with Lily, not caring that Lauren was watching him cry, not caring that he hadn't done any of his normal beautification practices, and not caring that he hadn't moved from that spot for about 45 minutes.
"Sirius, are you feeling any better?" asked a soft voice from behind. Sirius and Lily both turned around and saw Lauren standing behind them, holding out a few mugs. "I brought hot cocoa. It's from the packet, defenatly not as good as yours was, but I think it will make you feel a little better. Cocoa always makes things a little better."
"My best friend is dead and you think hot cocoa will make it all better? What the hell is wrong with you? How can you possibly say that?" yelled Sirius, causing Lauren to start crying. Then Sirius, who always stayed calm and confident under pressure, came to his senses.
"I'm sorry. I didn't understand what I was saying. I'm sure that the cocoa is great. Why don't you come sit over here with me on this nice, comfy log?" said Sirius, kissing her tears away. Lily noticed this strange behavior but said nothing. She had bigger fish to fry.
"Is everything okay over here? I heard screaming." said Remus, sitting down on the other side of Lily.
"That would have been me. I kinda lost control back there..." explained Sirius.
"You want some cocoa?" asked Lauren, handing Remus a mug.

"So exactly what kind of a hospital is this?" asked Carrie as they walked into the hospital at the top floor of the ministry building.
"The kind where they make you better when you're sick." said James, quickly tiring of Carrie's ignorance of the magical world. Then he remembered what kind of situation she must be in, so he went a little easier on her. "Sorry, they will give you something to drink to take away the pain and then they'll mend it. The whole think will be painless."
"So is this a kind of homeopatic remedy?" she asked. James had no idea what she was talking about.
"Sure, if you say so."he said, and then he took her over to an empty bed and called over the medi-witch.
"This is my friend," he explained. "She got pushed down and I think she broke her ankle."
"Ok, I'll be able to fix this is a couple of seconds. Just lay down and-" but she was cut off as Adamus Snape entered the hospital room with Severus and a white haired 5th year that James recognized as Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy didn't look so well, he was blue in the face as if he wasn't breathing too well, and he had horrible looking red sores all over him. Even James, who had hated him since he had known him, felt sorry for him
"I'm sorry to interupt this, um, important procedure but Mr. Malfoy here has been poisioned. He can barely breathe." said Adamus.
"Looks like a severe case of dunmator poision to me. He'll need help immedeatly. I'll have to take him to emergancy care. James, is it ok if my apprentance Poppy heals your friend? She's great with bones." asked the medi-witch.
"Sure, that's fine," said James as the medi-witch took Malfoy out of the room. Soon a cheerful looking nurse who's name tag read Poppy came into the room.
"So, broken ankle, eh? That will be easy enough to fix. Now if you will just tell me if there are any potions you are alergic to?" said Poppy.
"Um, I'm alergic to cats?" responded Carrie, not knowing exactly what to say.
"She's fine. Just do your thing." said James. Poppy smiled.
"Got it," she said. In a few seconds she had everything healed up, and Carrie was free to go.
"Wow! How did she do that?" asked Carrie.
"Like you said, homiopattycake or whatever," said James. Carrie smiled.
"You're funny." she said, laughing and touching his shoulder. James sighed, he had not tried to be funny, and he definatly didn't want Carrie back to her old flirty self.
"Listen, there is this place outside called Diagon Alley. I want to pick up some jewelry for Lily, as a kind of gift. Will you help me?" asked James.
"Sure, gold, silver or platnium? I would suggest silver, gold won't go with her skin tone and platnium costs so much money." said Carrie. James had finally figured out how to get her to stop flirting with him. He led her down three spirial staircases and one moving one that would take them down the rest of the way. Then they were in diagon alley.
"Wow," said Carrie. Wow was right, there were decorations up for the summer fiesta, and merchants everywhere. James stopped at one of the merchant stands, but Carrie wouldn't let him look at the jewelry there.
"Look, it's cheap. We want real jewlery, none of this imitation stuff. Where's the real jewelry store?" asked Carrie. James pointed straight ahead. "Oh, that looks nice. We'll have to go in and see what they have." Carrie grabbed James hand and pulled him over to the jewelry shop.
"This is pretty," said James, picking up a gold bracelet.
"Yeah, if you want to look like a cheap whore. What about this?" Carrie asked, holding up a diamond ring.
"I want to get her a present, not ask her to marry me. I like this little-WOW!" exclaimed James, looking at the glint of silver that had caught his eye. He picked up a delicate necklace, it was adorned with a lily made of diamonds and silver, and it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry that James had ever seen.
"Oh...My...God that is so perfect. You have to get that!" exclaimed Carrie, rushing over to the counter to ring up the necklace.
***
"Oh my God do you know what I just realized?" asked Lily. Her eyes were red, but she had stopped crying, not by choice but because she felt as if she didn't have any more tears to cry.
"What?" asked Sirius soothingly.
"James' parents don't know. We've been sitting here all day crying over him and his parents don't even know that he's dead!" exclaimed Lily. She heard a noise behind her.
"Um...I'm not dead," said James. Lily turned around and couldn't believe what she was seeing. She quickly got up and hugged James tightly.
"Where were you, what happened? Are you ok? Are you hurt at all? Where's Carrie, is she ok? Did you just escape the death eaters? Oh, you have to tell me what happened!" exclaimed Lily, sitting down again and pulling James with her.
"I'm fine and so is Carrie. We were over at the ministry office," explained James.
"The ministry office, did they save you?" asked Lily.
"No, we went there by floo powder and-" started James, but he was interrupted by Sirius.
"Floo powder? That was the first thing that we thought of, but Phillip's detecting charm couldn't find any traces of it. Are you sure you're telling the truth?" asked Sirius.
"Yeah, you can't just go to the ministry by normal floo powder. You have to use some special stuff that's not detectable." explained James. He noticed that Lily wasn't looking too happy.
"Ok, let me get this straight, you left and went to the ministry office, you were safe and sound and you didn't even think to drop us an owl and let us know that you were ok? What were you thinking?" asked Lily. James stiffened, what had he been thinking?
"Well, Carrie was hurt. She broke her ankle so we had to get her up to the hospital. The medi-witch fixed her up and then we-" but James stopped. What would they think when he told them he had been shopping for a present for Lily? In retrospect everything he had done seemed really stupid, how could he tell Lily?
"And then you what? Go on James, I sure would like to know the great reason you have for putting everyone through so much misery." said Sirius.
"We went shopping," James mumbled under his breath.
"You went SHOPPING?? We were here worried sick about you and you were out in diagon alley shopping? How could you do this to us James, how could you do this to me? Did you forget how to think? Really, I'd like to know before I kill you!" yelled Lily.
"But I got you this-" started James.
"Whatever it is, take it back. I don't want it. Leave, now. Go somewhere else in this campsite, go home, go wherever you want as long as it's not here. Just leave, I can't even look at you. The sight of your face disgusts me!" yelled Lily. A defeated James trudged back up to his tent and shut the door.
A/N- Ooh, Lily and James have had their first fight! Oh, this is not good. I bet you wonder what will happen? Well, if you want to find out sooner, click the little button and review. You know I love it, me being the little review junkie that I am, and you guys' reviews really give me motivation to write more.
Disclaimer- I'm not J.K. Rowling, although I wish I was. I don't even look like her, much less write like her. So if you're looking for J.K.'s books, you'll have to try a real bookstore, cuz I am definatly not her.
