Remus and Sirius were relieved to find Lily sleeping with James on a chair,
beside her. A smile crept on both of their faces, they didn't like the
guilt they had felt and were feeling now, about causing someone pain,
discomfort and depression. Someone had nearly died because of them. Someone
who wasn't a Slytherin. At least with Lily alive, they could still make it
up to her. Sirius of course, didn't like feeling this somber and serious so
he dragged Remus off to paint the Slytherin common rooms Gryffindor colors
with pink polka-dots.
All too soon, the sun rose. The first rays of sunlight streamed through the windows of the ward. Her personal ward. Lily woke to a world of pain. She felt that she was in hell, her body felt completely drained of any fluid whatsoever. She looked down at the blood soaked bandages that wrapped her wrists, a cynical laugh escaped her lips, she couldn't do anything right, not even dying.
Tears rolled down her cheeks, even as she tried her utmost best to stop them. The tears that rolled down her cheeks were tainted, a watery red color. Mixed with blood. Her body racked with sobs, thus waking the boy next to her up, James Potter. He looked at her and held her. He cared.
He looked at her with care and compassion. No one looked at her like that in her life. Her 'parents' looked at her with scorn and disgust, her 'sister' looked at her with loathing and hatred. It finally became too much for her, her body racked with sobs. James closed his eyes, sat next to her and held her. Just held her in his arms.
She looked at him and smiled, a smile of gratitude. Maybe it wasn't so bad, maybe she wasn't alone. At that moment, they found something in each other, he found someone to care for, she found comfort and maybe some meaning to her life.
But, as you know Murphy's Law, at that very moment, our favorite werewolf and mischief maker ran in.
"HEY!!! GUESS WHAT?" A very hyper Sirius was at Lily's bedside.
"He made Snape red and gold with pink polka dots." This came in a monotone from Lily.
"How did you guess?" Sirius pouted.
"Wasn't hard."
The other two people were shocked that Lily had the energy to speak to an extremely exuberant Sirius after a suicide attempt. James was still glaring at Sirius for destroying his moment.
Remus coughed and loosened the tension in the room. This caused three eyes to turn on him, "Uh, guys, as we can see, even thought it's amazing that Lily has recovered so much in such a short time, we still have to get her out of here."
True to his words, Madam Pomfrey was shocked to see Lily up so fast and completely healed as well (A/N:- Don't worry this has a reason as well.). It still took quite a bit of persuading to convince her that Lily was alright now, slightly depressed, but not likely to try to kill herself anytime soon. After all, who can resist Sirius, even if it is Madam Pomfrey. ^_^
They packed Lily's things and she looked at them curiously, after all, they've never given her the time of day before, except to prank her that is. They smiled at her and James lifted her off the bed and to the dorm room, THEIR dorm.
She was still very puzzled to why they were doing this and said so, they smiled back at her question and said that they wanted to be her friend and friends help each other. Why would anyone want to be her friend, no one knew her and she doubted anyone even knew her to her name.
===A few hours Later====
When she was lying on her bed, Professor McGonagall walked in to the room, a worried frown framing her face. She sat next to Lily on her bed and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"As well as I could get. Thank you for asking."
"Why did you do it?"
A sad smile appeared on her face. She looked at Professor McGonagall, her gaze saying all that needed to be said at that moment. Professor McGonagall was shocked, the depth of emotions that she saw in Lily's bright green eyes surprised her, they bespoke of experiences no one EVER should take, and depression, she was very depressed. And another very strange emotion, curiosity. Curiosity for the Marauder's actions she supposed, she had heard of what they did and she was thankful to them. Lily was like a daughter to her.
"Ah.I see, I won't be removing your position as Head Girl, but Lily, be careful. If you have any problems, you CAN talk to me or any of the staff. I'm sure even the Marauders would oblige you."
Lily acknowledged her with a tired nod. Professor McGonagall pet her on the head before leaving the room. This left Lily with her thoughts and that wasn't a pleasant thing. If she didn't promise James that she wouldn't try anything while he went to get her lunch, she would probably have tried to kill herself again. She decided to draw, seeing that she had nothing better to do anyway. She took up her sketch book and a pencil and drew, even though she could do all sorts of drawings, she particularly liked to draw people.
James walked through the door and saw Lily absorbed in her sketching. Holding the tray in one hand, he looked to see what she was drawing. It was him. Him and the other Marauders, it was in amazing detail. Even though it was a rough sketch, it was a whole lot better than what their art Professor could do in a few hours with them in front of him, and here was Lily doing it from memory.
Lily felt someone look at her draw and she looked up to see the face of startled James Taylor Potter. She scowled at him as he gracefully gave her her lunch, it was her favorite, Fish and Chips. She smiled gratefully at him and began to eat, not noticing him taking up her sketchbook and flipping through it.
