A/N: Wow! I only got two reveiws for chapter seven and I updated it two days ago! Absolutly amazing XD
Snowbabyjoe: Ak! Please don't hurt me! Book lover990: Yet another reveiw, thanks :D Chapter Eight
Lily sat through History of Magic, thinking of Tereesa. She tried to think of happier things, but everything came back to Tereesa.
She heard the bell ring, but ignored it.
Clare was about to tap her on the shoulder, when Lily sprang up from her chair causing it to flip over.
Lily grabbed her bag and flew out of the room towards Dumbledore's office. She had a brilliant idea.
Lily ran down the corridors, bumping into people's shoulders, and skidding across the stone floors.
When she reached the gargoyle statue, she came to a halt.
'Damn it! What's the password?'
Lily guessed the password for five minutes and eventually sat on the ground and kept guessing.
"Miss Evans? Aren't you late for class?" Professor Ives, the herbology professor, asked from behind her.
Lily stood up so quickly she made herself dizzy, causing her to fall down again.
"Miss Evans?" Ives repeated, a little worried.
Lily stumbled up, "I'm fine professor. Could you tell me the password? This is urgent." Lily asked, staring at Ives' blurry figure.
Ives muttered the password and the gargoyle sprang to life.
Lily quickly thanked the professor and pushed open the doors.
She looked around the room and her eyes widened. She couldn't even begin describing how many facinating things were in the room.
"Miss Evans?" Lily looked up and saw Dumbledore walking down a staircase.
"Professor! I need to ask you something important." Lily said and the old man gestured her to sit down in front of her desk.
"Is everything alright?" He asked.
"Oh, yes, Professor. I was just wondering if me and a few friends could visit Tereesa...er...today." Lily asked anxiously.
Dumbledore gave Lily a searching stare.
"Who are you planning on bringing with you?" Dumbledore asked.
"Clare Traiker, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and James Potter...and perhaps Peter Pettigrew as well." Lily said.
"I'm affraid I can only allow you to bring two people at the most."
Lily looked disappointed.
"Yes, sir. When can we leave?"
"You may see Professor McGonagall with the two people you wish to bring after classes. Tell her I said that she should bring you to St. Mungos for a short visit. I assume she'll know what to do afterwords."
Lily couldn't have been happier, "Thank you, Professor." She said and hurried off to find Clare and tell her the good news.
"I talked to Dumbledore and he said that me and two friends can visit Tereesa today!" Lily said excitedly.
Clare jumped with joy.
"Who else will you bring?" Clare asked.
"Bring where?"
Lily and Clare turned around you see Sirius.
Lily's face lit up, "Sirius! Would you like to see Tereesa today with me and Clare?"
Sirius looked at Lily, "Seriously? Lily, that would be great! When are we leaving?" Sirius asked excitedly.
"I'm going to talk to McGonagall now." Lily said and she rushed off.
Lily, Sirius, and Clare stood behind McGonagall in the line to talk to the receptionist.
McGonagall moved forward to the front of the line, "Excuse me, me and my students are here to see a patiant, Tereesa Fewint."
"Magical Bugs, second floor, wing four. Next!" The blonde receptionist replied in a bored tone.
"Come on, then." McGonagall said the three students and they followed her to the second floor.
When the four reached Tereesa's room, they saw a sign that said 'Healer-in-charge: Doris Cherrymotyf, Trainee Healer: Winslow Toffer'.
Lily was first inside and directly in front of her was Tereesa, stuffing her face in chocolate frogs her friends sent her.
Tereesa looked up at the visitors and she dropped the small box she was holding.
She swallowed and wiped her mouth. "Lily! Clare! Sirius! Oh, hi, Professor." Tereesa said and Lily ran over to hug Tereesa.
"How have you been?" Lily asked, pulling up a chair.
Tereesa shrugged, "Well, the food here tastes disgusting, and these clothes they make the patiants wear," Tereesa plucked at her polka-dotted nightgown, "are absolutly hidious!"
Everybody laughed.
"I meant your health." Lily said, smiling.
"It totally sucks having this disease, ("Miss Fewint!" "Sorry, Professor.) but the Doris healer said she would let me out tomorrow."
Everybody grinned, "Tereesa, that's wonderful!" Clare said and hugged Tereesa.
"What, don't I get a hug?" Sirius asked, a lopsided grin plastered on his face.
"Oh, come hear." Tereesa said and they hugged.
"Sirius, your crushing me!" Tereesa said in a muffled voice.
Sirius pulled away, slightly blushing.
"Yeah, the nurse also said I would only live six more weeks." Tereesa said casually.
Clare gasped, Lily looked like she was about to cry, and Sirius' jaw dropped.
"WHAT?!" Lily yelled.
Tereesa winced, "Lily, quiet down. Look, everybody has to die sooner or later! Calm down, I'm going to die peacefully. I'm just glad I can spend the rest of my life with the people I love most."
Tereesa said and offered them all jellybeans.
Clare and Lily were crying now.
Sirius looked shocked.
"You are the most amazing girl..." his voice cracked and he rubbed his eyes.
"This better not be some sick joke!" Lily sobbed.
She was hugging Tereesa.
"I don't want you to go, you mean everything to me!" Lily sobbed.
"I don't want you all to be like this! You guys can be so...predictable! I want you all to live life and go to the extreme! I don't want you all to be ordinary. I saw something different about you guys, that's why I wanted to be friends with you! Lily, you are the most outgoing person I know. You are carefree and always cheerful, that's what I love about you! Clare, you are lovin and caring, you believe in second chances. And Sirius, you...you..."
tears started rolling down Tereesa's cheek and she sniffed before coninuing.
"You are so...indescribable. You are energetic, and romantic, and...you...Sirius, I don't know what to say."
Tereesa wiped her eyes with her blanket.
"Damnit, guys! Now your making me cry!"
Tereesa sniffed again.
"Look, let's just act like everything is normal, and that I'm just going to be on a long vacation. After I...you know...I want you to forget about me and move on."
McGonagall sniffed from behind them,
"You all should say goodbye to Tereesa now, we have to leave."
McGonagall wiped her eyes with her hankercheif.
"We'll see you tomorrow, alright?" Lily whispered to Tereesa and walked out of the room, letting tears fall down her face freely.
"I promise to do what you told me to. I'll never forget you." Clare whispered and followed Lily.
McGonagall turned to Sirius, "Mr. Black?"
"One minute, Professor." Sirius replied and sat in Lily's abandoned chair.
"You are truly amazing. For once in my life, I fell in love. And look what happens." Sirius almost sounded angry.
"Goodbye, Tereesa." Sirius said and left, leaving Tereesa to cry, alone.
