Chapter 4
DC: I'm I forgetting these? If I am, sorry I don't own Harry Potter, or James, Sirius, Lily, Remus, Peter, aka- Prongs, Padfoot, SilverPaw (SP), Mooney, and the stupid git.... I mean, lovely little Wormtail, but I do own his GF Betty-sue Kingsling!
Lily fell asleep, but didn't have very nice dreams. She dreamed about her father's abusive ways, and her mother crying. Petunia got all the attention, and she just lay there slowly dying. Lily woke up in cold sweats, about four times that night.
'Maybe I should have went to Madame Promfry...' She said to herself.
The next morning all four Marauders went down to the Great hall, together, for breakfast. They sat down in the order they were in yesterday. Lily looked a mess. She kept on falling asleep only to be jerked up from the bad memories. She looked pale and didn't feel herself. James noticed this and asked her questions.
"Lily, or SP, are you sure you're okay? I think you should go to the hospital wing. Do you need to?"
"James, Prongs, I'm fine don't worry!" She said. James gave her a concerned look before looking at their schedule. Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Transfiguration with Hufflepuff." He grumbled.
"Looks like we have double Potions with Slytherin." James said.
"Then history of magic with Ravenclaw." Remus said.
"What a boring day." Sirius concluded.
Lily was again falling asleep in her food. This time she landed in it. Sirius jumped up. He ran around the table to get to the other side and shook her. James watched Sirius run around before he saw Lily. Remus got some paper towels, and wiped what ever was on Lily's forehead off. Sirius held her upright, and James went to go get Madam Promfry.
------------
Lily slowly opened her eyes and she was in a bed. She raised up slowly, only to be pushed back down.
"Miss Evans? Did you get any sleep last night?" She asked.
Lily shook her head.
"I should have listened to the Head Master." She said. Madame Promfry left the room, and returned with a bottle.
"Drink up. It'll get you through the day, and before you go to the common room for the night come and see me." She said.
Lily drank the potion. She got up, and saw her books were on the table beside her. The clock said ten thirty, so they must be changing to Potion in the dungeons soon. She groaned inwardly. She wished she could have slept through Potions. Waving Madame Promfry good bye, she went down stairs, and waited for the class to come out.
The students came out, and wasn't long before Lily could see James and everyone else coming down stairs. Remus was first to spot Lily, and he pointed. Sirius did a goofy wave, and they came rushing towards her.
"Are you feeling any better SP?" Sirius asked. Lily smiled at the little nickname.
"Yes I'm feeling a lot better. I think we should go inside before Professor Hindel gets us." She said. (A/N: Hindel is before Snape)
They went inside. James sat with Sirius and Remus with Lily. Professor Hindel wasn't in there, and Lily heard someone none of them wanted to hear.
"So Evans is back from the Hospital wing? I heard she was sleeping in her food." Came a voice from behind Remus and Lily.
"Shut up, Lucius!" James called.
Lucius Malfoy smirked and kept on taunting Lily.
"What's your excuse this time, for your bruises? Lily fell off her bed, and got banged up? You must bruise easily!"" He said. All the Slytherins started to laugh. Lily felt saddened, but that sadness turned into anger.
"Shut up Malfoy!" Sirius said. Malfoy just kept on laughing. Lily raised up and pinned her wand against his throat.
"I will hex you into next year if you don't stop!" She hissed. Malfoy stopped and became nervous. He knew Lily was the best at charms, and hexes. Mostly everything! Everyone knew you shouldn't mess around when she's angry.
Sirius and the other Gryfindors started to snigger and giggle. Remus smiled, and James heard footsteps.
"SP sit down it's the Professor!" He said. Lily went back to her seat, right before Prof. Hindel came in.
"Okay class, settle down. Today we will make a potion that could put three mountain trolls asleep." He said. Everyone got out the ingredients he was putting on the board, and got out their cauldrons. Before they could start he sorted them into pairs.
"Miss Evans and Mr. Snape." Lily felt bad. She didn't really want to work with Severus Snape but it couldn't be helped. Waving goodbye to Remus, she moved to the front of the classroom with Snape.
"Mr. Black and Miss. Bellatrix Black." Sirius put his head down. He had to work with his cousin Bellatrix. He slowly moved next to her.
"Mr. Pettigrew and Mr. Potter." James almost died. Why Peter? Peter had a look of disgust on his face, as he moved over to James.
"Mr. Lupin and Miss. Narcissa Black." Remus thought it wouldn't be bad to work with Narcissa. She was calm and nice, but Malfoy is her boyfriend. Malfoy gave him a very dirty look as he past him. Remus also thought that Sirius had too many girl cousins in Slytherin.
Prof. Hindel went on about the list. Brandon Johnson with a girl named Patty Henderson. Luckily Frank Longbottom was with his girlfriend Alice Holmes. Malfoy with a guy named Ben Parkinson, and more pairings. (A/N: I don't know Alice's maiden name so forgive me ) Finally they got to work.
In the end, Remus and Narcissa, Lily and Snape, Frank and Alice, Sirius and Bellatrix (After a lot of arguments), James and Peter, and Brandon and Patty got their potions right. Now they were to test them. Lily dreaded this part. Hindel got to pick which person had to test it. He picked on the girls that day, and Peter out of James's group.
"Okay Miss Narcissa drink up." She hesitated but drank it. After a couple of seconds, she fell to the ground falling asleep. Malfloy watched her carefully as Professor Hindel reversed the effect. She sat up, and Hindel congratulated them.
"Miss Patty go ahead." Patty Henderson drank her potion, and Brandon caught her. She started to drool, and he dropped her. She didn't move an inch. Hindel reversed the effect, and congratulated them. Patty gave Brandon a nasty glare, when she felt the back of her head.
"Okay Peter go ahead." Peter drank it and he was knocked out cold. James wished he would stay like that, but he reversed the spell. And congratulated them also.
"Miss Black go ahead." Bellatrix was about to drink it, but poured it into Sirius's mouth. Sirius fell asleep snoring, loudly, and she laughed with all the other Slytherins. Hindel reversed it and congratulated them. Sirius got up, and sat next to James mumbling bad things under his breath
"That was nice of you Mr. Black." He said and Sirius glared at his cousin, who was still laughing.
"Miss Alice." Alice drank it and leaned against Frank and slept. Frank swayed and almost fell, but Hindel reversed it, and she awoke apologizing to him. He congratulated them and turned to the last group.
"Okay Miss Evans, drink up." Lily drank it and felt herself falling asleep. She grabbed on the desk, and brought herself to her knees. Then to her side, and fell asleep. Hindel was going to reverse it, but Lily began screaming.
