Forwards in Time

Chapter Five: Making Up and Breaking Up

Lily woke up and saw she that she was in the Hospital Wing. She tried to sit up but felt a throbbing pain in her head. She groaned and felt her head, it was bandaged up. She turned and saw someone on the bed next to her. It was James, his head, too, was bandaged. She also saw that his chest and stomach were bandaged as well.

She wondered what happened, she looked over at James again, he looked unconscious, and then she remembered. They were on the Quidditch pitch.

FLASHBACK

Lily watched as Sirius hit the bludgers. It annoyed her greatly how he would hit it and laugh. She was really low on the ground and she decided to go higher. When she was at Sirius' level, which was really high. A bludger headed towards her and she tried to hit it but with the force she fell off her broom. She screamed and all the players turned to her.

"LILY!!!!" Remus yelled as he dove down and tried to catch her, but in the process flipped upside down. He was holding on his broom, upside down, with one hand and Lily with the other, but he was only holding on to three of her fingers.

"JUST HOLD ON!!!" he yelled, blood rushing up his head and saw tears in Lily's eyes.

"I CAN'T!!" she said as she slipped.

"NO!!!!" Remus yelled.

She fell but felt something catch her, it was James. She looked over to where Remus was and saw Sirius helping him get back on his broom. Lily buried her face in James' chest and was thankful that he didn't comment her.

"WATCH OUT!!!" Lily heard Sirius yell and was knocked out.

END OF FLASHBACK

How could she be so stupid, she shouldn't have done that, it was stupid. She thought about it as tears started to roll down her cheeks. She wondered what else happened after she blacked out. She looked at James again and started to cry harder.

"Lillian, you're awake," Hermione exclaimed as she, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Sirius and Remus entered the Hospital Wing.

"Hey guys," she said as she whipped the tears off her cheeks.

"Why are you crying?" Remus asked soothingly.

"Want me to get Madam Pomfrey?" Sirius asked serious making Lily laugh, it was the first she ever saw him that serious.

"No, it's okay," she replied.

"Alright, what's the matter then?" Sirius asked as he looked over at James.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Well, after Joshua caught you, Simon started to help me to get on my broom and little did we know that the Malfoy kid and this pug faced girl put a spell on the bludgers to start chasing you," Remus started.

"Then I saw the two bludgers go after you and tried to warn you guys but it already hit you," Sirius continued.

"Yeah, then it hit you but luckily not as much as Joshua," Harry said as he looked at his father's unconscious figure.

"Why, what happened?" Lily asked as she too turned to look at James.

"Well, Joshua turned the broom around so the bludgers hit him," Ron sighed.

"But, but didn't we fall or something?" Lily asked as she sobbed.

"Yeah, you guys did, but when the bludgers followed, Joshua was still awake and he covered your body, so they hit him instead of you," he said as Lily gasped.

"Is he okay?" she asked, choking on her words.

"Madam Pomfrey said that he broke a lot of bones," Ginny said as she pointed to the bandages.

"What time is it? When will he wake up?" she asked eagerly.

"Lillian, you've been here for two days," Remus said.

"What?!" she said.

"Those bludgers did really bad damage to you guys," Sirius pointed out.

"Wait I," She shut her eyes quickly knowing that she hadn't performed the spell to change their colour.

"Lillian, what's wrong?" Harry asked.

"My head hurts, can I talk to Richard and Simon privately please," she said, her eyes locked tight.

"Uh, sure," they said as they left.

"Lily, what's wrong?" Remus asked.

"Are they gone?" she asked.

"Yeah," Sirius replied confusingly.

Lily suddenly opened her eyes and said, "I completely forgot about my eye colour. They're still green," she said worriedly.

"No they're not," Sirius said matter-of-factly.

"What? Yes they are, I didn't do the spell," she said confused.

"Don't worry Lily, Sirius and I did the spell on you two each morning just incase you two would wake up," Remus said as he looked over at James worriedly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Remus, I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have tried out for that Quidditch thing," she said sadly, looking over at James.

"Don't blame yourself, it was just an accident," Remus assured her.

"No, if it wasn't for me, James wouldn't be here and you almost got hurt, too, because of me," she said miserably.

"Don't worry about it, Lily, it's not your fault," Remus said with a warm smile.

"Yes, it is," she sighed.

"Well, James had some part in it too," Sirius said, trying to cheer her up. "Lily, I knew James had a crush on you, but this, he wouldn't have never have done this for any other girl," Sirius said, obviously surprise at James' actions.

"But-," she was cut off by Madam Pomfrey saying, "Get out you two, she is in no condition to talk right now!"

"Calm down lady, we're leaving," Sirius said at her rudeness.

"Remember Lily, it's not your fault," Remus said with a smile.

"Yeah, don't beat yourself up," Sirius said as they left.

Lily was surprised of Sirius' kindness towards her and thought about what Sirius had just said. She felt horrible, she was so rotten to him and now he risked his own life to save her. The tears started coming again as she looked at James.

She looked out the window, she didn't know what to say to him, or how to thank him. It felt like she'd been staring out for hours when she heard someone groan, she looked over at James and saw him move. She tried with all her might to get up and walk over to his bed. She looked down at him as he opened his eyes and smiled at him.

"Lily," he said weakly, then noticed she was crying, "Why are you crying? Are you okay? Do you need me to get Madam Pomfrey?" he asked as he tried to get up but she just pushed him back down.

She never saw him care so much, except when Snape and Malfoy (senior and junior) called her a mudblood. "James, I'm so sorry, please forgive me," she said as she tried to wipe her tears away but more came.

"No, Lily, it's my fault," he said frowning.

"No, it's mine," she protested.

He chuckled. "Stop that!" she snapped.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help but notice that whatever we talk about, we always argue," he chuckled weakly.

"Oh, sorry," she mumbled.

"Don't worry about it," he said, his voice still weak.

"Oh and um, thanks for what you did," she smiled, her face flushed.

"Er.. Don't worry about it," he said, as he too started to blush.

"How's your head?" he asked as she went to lie down on her bed.

"It hurts a bit, but it's fine. How are your injuries?" She asked as she looked at all his bandages.

"Oh, they're okay, but I can't seem to move," he smiled.

"Sorry," she said and smiled back.

"It wasn't your fault, it was mine," he said as he turned his head to face her, but she could see he was having a great deal of difficulty.

"I shouldn't have accepted your challenge," she said looking into his hazel eyes.

"I shouldn't have challenged you in the first place," he said with a warm smile.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Sirius and Remus dropped by just a while ago, and so did your son and his friends," she said as she looked away from his eyes. It felt like she was being hypnotized.

"Really? Darn, I really wanted to talk to Harry," James frowned.

"You know, he's a pretty nice kid," she smiled.

"I know you like him," he laughed as her mouth fell open. "I was just joking," he smiled.

"Good, you better be," she smiled back. She never thought she would ever have such a civilized conversation with James Potter.

"I wonder where he got that ugly scar on his head. Makes him look a little weird," James said confused.

"Probably hit himself when he was young," she laughed.

"I guess. I want to ask him if he thinks I'm a good person," he sighed.

"I wonder if he knows me, but I doubt though, because you know how we hate each other," she chuckled.

"Well, maybe he does, you never know what the future holds," James said.

"Yeah, I guess," she said.

"Miss. Eve," Madam Pomfrey greeted as she came out of her office. "I think you're well enough to leave, here just drink this potion, and you're free to go," she said cheerfully as Lily drank the potion that was handed to her.

The potion worked and Madam Pomfrey took off the bandages on her head with a flick of her wand. "Well, I'll let you continue you're conversation with Mr. Topper, but only for five minutes alright. He needs his rest," she finished as she went back to her office.

"Well, I better go," she said as she headed for the door.

"Wait," she heard his weak voice say as she stopped and turned around.

"Can you ask Harry if he thinks I'm a good person?" he asked with a smile.

"Sure," she smiled back and left.

Lily walked to the Gryffindor Common room, since classes were over and saw Remus and Sirius talking on the squashy chairs in front of the fire place. She walked over to then where they smiled at her.

"Hey guys," she smiled and took sank down on one of the chairs.

"Hey Lily, did James wake up yet?" Sirius asked.

"Oh, um, yeah," she replied.

"So, what did that madwoman say?" he asked.

"She said he needs some rest," she replied.

"How long do you think he'll be there?" Remus asked worriedly, knowing a full moon is about to come.

"I'm not sure, but I don't think it'll be long," she smiled.

"Oh, alright, that's good I guess," Remus said, relieved.

"Um, where's Harry?" she asked.

"Why?" Sirius asked confused.

"Because James told me to ask him something," she said.

"Oh, what is it?" Sirius asked nosily.

"He wanted me to ask Harry if he thinks James is a good father and person," she replied.

"Oh, I think he's with his girlfriend," Sirius said.

"Don't worry, he'll be back soon," Remus assured her.

"Alright," she said as she looked into the fire.

"What happened to those Slytherins after they did that bludger thing?" she asked.

"They each got 100 points taken," Remus smiled.

The portrait hole suddenly opened and they saw Harry and Ginny walk in, holding hands, followed by Ron and Hermione arguing about something.

"Harry! Can we talk to you for a second?!" Sirius bellowed, as Harry left his friends and went over to them.

"Yeah, what is it Simon? Oh, hey Lillian, are you all better?" Harry asked with a smile but he didn't really want to talk after a fight with Malfoy's cronies.

"Yeah," she said as he sat down beside Sirius.

"So, what was it you guys wanted to talk to me about?" he asked.

"Uh, Harry," Lily began. "Was your father, uh, a good man?" she asked.

Harry didn't like talking about his father, especially not to people he'd just met. 'Was this a joke?' He thought to himself. Everyone knew about what happened in his past. "Yeah, I guess he was," he replied.

'Was?' Lily thought. 'Uh oh, what if James abandoned Harry with his mother?' she asked herself. "Oh, uh, was he a good father?" she asked, making Harry angry.

"How am I supposed to know!" he yelled, his temper rising and ran in to the Boy's Dormitory.

"Um, Lily, maybe James did something in the future that, um, made Harry you know," Sirius said gesturing to the Boy's Dormitories

"Yeah, you guys want to tell James?" Remus asked.

"I think we should, so in the future he'll change his actions. Poor kid, James can be such an ass sometimes," she said outraged.

They all stood and walked to the Hospital Wing where they saw James awake, but was looking up. They walked over to him, all of them nervous to tell him what happened.

"Hey guys," he said, his voice a bit stronger than before.

"Hey Prongs!" Sirius greeted.

"Hey Prongs, how are you feeling?" Remus asked grinning.

"Better than before," he grinned then turned to Lily and asked, "So, did you ask Harry about me?"

"Yeah, about that," she started and looked over at the two nervously.

"Prongs, I don't think Harry even knows you," Remus said carefully.

"WHAT!?!?" he asked surprised.

"Well, you see, Lily asked him if you were a good man and he said 'yeah I guess he was'," Sirius said seriously.

"Yeah, then Lily asked him if you were a good father and he said, well actually, he yelled, 'how am I supposed to know!' and stormed off," Remus finished looking at the hurt in James' face.

"You've got to be kidding me," he said angrily.

"Maybe in the future, Potter, you shouldn't jump from one girl to another," she snapped thinking of how hurt Harry would have felt.

"What!? I do not jump from girl to girl," he said angrily.

"Yes, you do! Admit it," she said her temper rising.

"How would you know, Evans, do you keep track of every girl I go out with?!" he spat.

"Excuse me, have you forgotten that you are the one who says, 'Evans, don't be jealous, you'll have your chance,' every time you get a new whore? Well guess what, Potter, I was never and I will never be jealous because you will still be the same arrogant git you've always been!" she snapped and stormed out.
