~*~GREEN EYES~*~
Chapter 54- Love Conquers All...
"So what happens now? We just locked our best friends in with someone who must be completely insane!" exclaimed Lauren as the mirror lost its trancparency.
"Oh my God, they're going to die and it is all my fault!" Pandora said, tears falling from her piercing blue eyes.
"No, it's not your fault," stated Sirius simply. "Well, not completely. Why would James put everyone in so much danger? If he found out how to get Jamie, why didn't he go to Dumbledore? Why does he always have to be so damn impulsive?" Sirius grabbed a ceramic vase off a nearby table and threw it against the wall. He watched as the broken glass, water and dead flowers fell to the floor with a thousand tiny thuds. Pandora wiped more tears from her eyes, willing herself to stop crying.
"Sirius, you're scaring me," Lauren said, backing away towards the door.
"I'm sorry. Come on, let's find Dumbledore before something really terrible happnes," Sirius then walked out of the room with Lauren following closely behind and Pandora trailing at their heels. Sirius lead them almost all the way to Dumbledore's office, they had just reached the stone gargoyle that guarded the entrance when they heard a creul voice form behind them.
"Where do you think you're going?" Filch asked, picking up his insanely old tabby cat, Mr. Boggins. Running after Mr. Boggins was a new kitten. Filch trained new cats when the old ones looked as if they wre going to die out soon. Of course somehow Filch's cats lived abnoramally long lives.
"We need to see Dumbledore, it's urgent!" excliamed Sirius
"Well well well, isn't that too bad for you? Dumbledore's away on an important business trip," Filche smirked, obviously reveling in their dissappointment.
"Alright, then what about Professor McGonagall?" asked Lauren.''
"She's done with him. Get back to your common room, you don't want to get in trouble for being too suspicious," Filch said, turning away from them and walking toward a secret passage. "Come, Mrs. Norris," he added to the kitten in an almost sweet tone. She had been playing with Lauren's shoelace but now bounded after Filch.
"Shame," said a familar boice behind them. "That kitten would be so cute if I didn't know how evil it would turn out it be," Sirius, Lauren and Pandora turned to see Lily walking toward them. Although her brilliant red hair was quite messy, her eyes sparkled as she smiled at them.
"It's been such a lovely day," Lily said blissfully. Sirius frowned.
"Do you want to break it to her or should I?" he asked Lauren.
"You can have the honors," Lauren said at the same time that Lily asked, "Break what to me?"
Sirius quickly told Lily the whole story, and she was silent for quite awhile.
"So you're telling me that he might be...dead?" she asked, letting a tear fall down fom her bright green eyes.
"I'm so sorry Lily," Sirius said, pulling Lily into a tight hug and letting her cry on his shoulder.
"I can't believe I was asleep and couldn't stop him," she said through sobs. "Why couldn't you stop him?"
Sirius and Lauren exchanged glances before Sirius spoke. "I was kinda locked in a broom closet."

James stopped short when he was Dumbledore, who's bright blue eyes were shinging with disapppointment. James suddenly remembered something he had learned in the first year after he snuck out looking for the entrance to the kitchen: Professor Dumbledore could see though invisibililty cloaks.
"It's okay, Mr. Potter, you're safe now. Nobody should be bothering you for a little while, so why don't you take off that cloak so I can get a good look at Jamie," Dumbledore said, beconing for them to come closer. James pulled off the cloak and brought Jamie, who was still quite unconcious, to Dumbledore.
"I haven't been able to wake her, but she seems to be breathing," James said as Hagrid took Jamie's limp figure from James. "She needs medical attention soon," he added, as if Dumbledore didn't already know this.
"She jus' looks like she has a bad cold, an' they don' seem to be feedin' her too well," Hadrid said symphathetically,
"We don't have anytime to linger here Albus," Professor McGonagall remined Dumbledore. He nodded.
"I'm sorry, but we don't really have any way to get you home. We all apparated here, and Hagrid is the only one that is cleared to have a charm cast on him to get home," Dumbledore explianed to James and Crystal. He then gave them a little smile. "But considering the circumstances, and since you are at the top of your class in transfiguration, I guess I could bend the rule a little bit."
"What about Crystal?" asked James.
"In France you can apparate when you turn sixteen," she said. "I got my license last summer."
Professor Mcgonagall quickly explianed the process to James, who nodded. He had acutally been trying to learn how to apparate since his second year. Of course the farthest he had gotten was from his bedroom to his bathroom, but he was confident he could do it again.
"I'll cast the spell for you and Jamie, alright Hagird?" said Professor McGonagall. Hagrid noeed, Professor McGonagallwaved her wand and muttered something under her breath. In an instant the two had vanished.
"Crystal, why don't you and I go at the same time?" asked Professor Dumbledore. Soon they had gone too.
"I can cast the spell for you if you want me to," said McGonagall when she and James were the only ones lieft. "But I believe in you, you'll manage." Right then the front door opened, and a dark cloaked man man came out, his wand at the ready.
"Now!" McGonagall yelled, and james apparated with a pop. He felt a strange sensation as his body started moving apart, as if his molecules were moving away from each other. He somehow managed to pull himself into a more centralized location. It felt like flying extremely fast, and he concentrated on Hogsmeade. After about five seconds he pulled himself back together and fell, hard, onto the concrete. The others were already there.
"Nice job, James. Impressive for a sixth year," Dumbledore said, smiling at James. James felt his hip starting to brusie as he got up.
"Come on, we need to get Jamie back to the castle," said Hagrid, and they quickly started to make their way home.
***
"Maybe we should go to the owlery and send them a letter," Lily suggested.
"Yeah, and then we can go visit Remus in the hospital wing, it's right next door," added Sirius, not bothering to wait for a response before walking toward the nearest spiral staircase. Pandora gave them a weary smile.
"I think I will just go back to the common room," she said weakly, hoping they weren't mad at her. After all, if she had watched guard better everyone would be fine.
"Alright, we'll meet you back up there after we're done," said Lily. "Oh, and don't worry about what happened. No one thinks it's your fault."
Sirius, Lauren, and Lily had gotten halfway to the hospital wing when someone called out to them.
"LILY!" she turned around and saw James' messy black hair before he emerged from a staircase. He ran towards her and flung his arms around her. She was too confused, and relieved, to know what to even say to him. Behind him came Crystal and Hagird, carrying Jamie.
"Oh my God, James, I thought I'd lost you," she said, sobbing. He pulled her close and they stayed like that for quite awhile.
As they walked to the hospital wing, Hagrid told them the story. By the time he finished, they had handed Jamie over to Madam Pomfrey. As she was laid down on a bed, James said happily, "I'm so glad we saved Jamie."
That was the last straw for Sirius, who had been fuming as he listened to Hagrid's account of the story. "You didn't save her," shouted Sirius. "You could have killed her. You were the ones who needed saving, I can't believe you're too arogant to see that."
"What the hell do you mean?" asked James, upset that Sirius would blame him for this.
"He does have a point," said Lily.
"What do you mean he has a point!" screamed James.
"Well, you did something really stupid," she explianed calmly. "You put everyone at this school in danger."
"I can't believe you guys don't appreciate this!" exclaimed James.
"I can't belive you think you're a hero!" Sirius shoted back.
"Come on, let's just calm down-" Lily started.
"No way, I can't calm down when my own girlfriend does appreciate me saving her BEST FRIEND!" James yelled. Lily was about to yell back when she heard a faint command from the corner.
"Please stop." They looked over to see Jamie, who had lifted herself from her bed. Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked over at Remus, lying in the bed next to her,
"Oh Jamie, I'm so sorry," said Lily, rushing over to her friend and gently wiping her tears away.
***
Remus' dreams had been vivid at the beginning, but now they were getting fainter. He didn't understand this world he was living in. Was it heaven or was it hell? It didn't really seem to be either, more like an interm place. He was starting to suspect that he hadn't succeeded in killing himself.
I think that I need to get back up to the ice, he thought, and desperately struggled to get back to the suface like he had so many times before. Usually, he saw shadowy figures gesturing for him to break though the ice, but as he got closer, all he saw was a bright light.
I'm dying, he realized. This time I'm really dying.
But as he got closer, he realized that there seemed to be a person up at the surface producing the bright light. He swam toward her, but found this to take more effort that it ever had before. The ice seemed to be melting, but it was forcing him downward into the dark.
Remus tried to get through, but he couldn't handle it. He was about to give up when he heard a voice from above. "Remus, I love you."
It was Jamie. With one more burst of strength, Remus was home.
***
With Lily's help, Jamie got out of bed and knelt down next to Remus. He face was pale, his lips blue. Without knowing what had happened, Jamie could tell that she was losing him. She desperately kissed his mouth, getting nothing in response.
"What--" Jamie started, but couldn't finish before she started to sob again.
"Remus is in a coma. He tried to kill himself after you left and we can't revive him," Lily explained softly. Jamie didn't respond, she just clasped Remus' hand.
"Remus, I love you," Jamie whispered.
A change seemed to come over Remus as he heard those words. Slowly he opened his eyes and say Jamie above him. With the little strength he had, he squeezed Jamie's hand.
"I love you too."
A/N- Sorry guys, I don't have a good excuse for this being so late. I hope you liked it though!
