Disclaimer: I will state the obvious. I am not worth more than the
Queen of England, and I do not know what will be in the sixth Harry Potter
book, and I won't until it comes out, so there for, I am NOT J.K. Rowling.
Got it? Harry Potter and all the rest of the characters of the books belong
to J.K. Rowling's brilliant mind. Enough with the babble, and let's begin.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning, Lily went back to the hospital wing to talk with James about the night before. She was very nervous about talking with him. She hadn't known what had come over her last night, crying in front of him, and THEN, the worst possible thing, she kissed his cheek! What was she thinking?
Lily couldn't even begin to imagine what he would have to say. She would probably end up saying she was sorry a million times, and making a complete fool out of herself. She shook her head hopelessly.
What did James Potter think of her now? As if she wanted to know. He was so arrogant sometimes, and acted as if he was the best thing since sliced bread. And, he had the overly annoying habit of running his hands through his hair. That drove Lily absolutely nuts.
When Lily opened the door to the wing James was sleeping, or so it looked that way.
In reality, James had just closed his eyes, because when he woke up earlier that morning, the sun was bright, and hurt his eyes. So, he closed them. He head the hospital doors open, and was temped to open his eyes. But, it could have been Madam Mariah, just waiting to give him some more disgusting medicine. So, he left his eyes closed, just in case.
Lily walked over to James' bed and sat down in the chair that was there next to it for visitors to sit in. She gazed down at his "sleeping" face. She took his hand in hers, just like she had done last night, when he was sleeping. James inwardly smiled, as he knew who was there now, and almost opened his eyes. But then, Lily started talking to him.
"You know James, if you tell a single soul about last night, I'll simply deny that it ever happened," said Lily softly. "Or maybe I'll just make your head swell to the size of a watermelon."
James wasn't sure what a watermelon was, but he guessed that it was something muggle, and something large. He didn't want to take his chances, whatever this watermelon thing was.
"I should just make you forget the whole thing," Lily continued. "That way you, being your arrogant self, wouldn't tell the whole entire school that I cried in front of you, or that I hugged you, and best of all, you wouldn't be able to tell them that I kissed you. Even though it was on the cheek, you would probably tell them other wise."
At the sound of the hospital wing doors opened again, Lily let go of James' hand, much to James' distaste. It was the rest of the marauders, coming in to see how their missing member was feeling. Lily stood up.
"Why, if it isn't Miss Lily Evans," Sirius said grinning. "And what might bring you up here, Lils?"
"The same reason the three of you are up here," Lily replied as calmly as possible. "I was coming up to see how James was doing, if that's okay with you," she said curtly.
"No need to get snappy, Lil. It's fine with us if you come to see our good friend James Potter," said Sirius as if Lily really wanted their permission to come and see James.
"Well, I am going to the library to get some of my homework done. When he," Lily said, pointing at James, "Wakes up, you can give him all of his homework that he's missed so far. I believe that Madam Mariah also wants to give him some medicine."
Lily made her way through the marauders and back to the doors. After one final look at James, she opened the doors and walked out.
"Well mate," Sirius said to James, who opened his eyes after Lily left. "Did you get to talk to her yet?"
"Not today, but I talked to her yesterday," James said furtively. "Last night, after dark. Lily came in when I was sleeping, and when I woke up, she was holding my hand."
"No!" shouted Sirius with delight. "Come on, James! Tell us the rest! Didn't you talk to her?"
"Of course I talked to her," James said with a sly grin. "I talked to her right after she hugged me." James knew that this news was just too good to keep to himself. Plus, he also knew that it was eating Sirius alive.
"Oh come on! Please, just tell us already!" Sirius moaned. He was just dying to get his hands wrapped around this piece of juicy news.
"Well, she apologized for wishing that I would get hit with a bludger and fall off my broom before that game, and then after saying she was sorry over and over again, she just started crying."
"Crying?" the three gasped in unision. They were as shocked as James had been. They had never, in their six years of knowing her, seen or even heard about Lily crying.
"Crying," James repeated. "Lily started crying. I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything at first. Instead, I-"
"You didn't do anything?" Remus asked. "You see the girl you're obsessed with crying, and you don't do anything?"
"Calm down, Moony," James said, annoyed that Remus had interrupted him. "I said I didn't do anything at first. I didn't know what to do. But then, I got out of bed and I sat next to her, because she was sitting at the end of my bed, and I patted her back. It was really awkward at first.
"But then, I told her that it was okay that she wished all of those things," James continued, staring at the ceiling. "I told her that we all say things we don't mean when we're angry-"
"Get on with it, Prongs!" said Sirius, who was getting very impatient with James, who was lingering on the details. "Hurry up and get to the good part!"
"You're so impatient, Sirius," James said grumpily. He was upset about getting interrupted again. "So, anyway, before she left she kissed me."
"You're kidding!" whispered Peter. "Lily Evans, kissing you?" Peter shook his head in disbelief. "It can't be true."
"It is true!" protested James. He sat up in bed. "I swear! It was only on the cheek, but still!"
"All right you three," said Madam Mariah. "It's time to leave Mr. Potter alone for a while. He needs his medicine and his rest. Go on! Shoo!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"James," someone whispered. James opened his eyes and saw darkness. He sat up and looked around. "James," they said again. It was a girl's voice, and James instantly thought of Lily.
"Lily?" James whispered into the blackness. "Lily, is that you?" He heard some footsteps about two or three feet ahead of him. James got out of bed. He was a bit dizzy, but he didn't care.
James walked forward, and he could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer to him. Finally, he felt a hand on his arm. The hand scared him, and he jumped back a step, but the girl followed.
Suddenly, the room flooded with light, and there in front of him, was Lily. The most light surrounded her, and it seemed like her form was outlined with light.
"Lily?" James said, stunned. "What are you doing-"
"Shhh," said Lily, walking closer to James still. She put her finger on his lips, and then said, "We wouldn't want Madam Mariah to hear us, now would we?"
Before James could answer, he felt Lily's lips upon his- ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
