Thank you to those of you, who reviewed chapter 9, I'm glad you liked it,
so I think I'll carry on with that plot. Unfortunately I just deleted half
of chapter 10 and I'm feeling mighty pissed. But I'll start again.

Chapter 10:
"Potter get off me, you're suffocating me." Lily said into James's jumper.
"Sorry Lily, I thought you were dead."
"Yeah, I figured," Lily said.
James looked at her. She was dripping wet and blue with cold. "We need to get you inside." He said to her.
"Can you help me up then?" Lily held out her hand to help James pull her up. He took it and heaved her to her feet. "Oww, my legs are numb." She whimpered.
"You can lean on me." James was tempted to flex his muscles but resisted, because he didn't think Lily would be very impressed.
Lily leant on James and he helped her walk up to the castle. "Just out of interest." James said cautiously in case Lily bit off his head, "why were you out in the grounds at this time in the morning?"
Lily didn't seem to be in the mood for snapping of peoples' heads, because she answered quite calmly, "I went out last night and I fell asleep."
"You're mad." James replied shaking his head slightly.
James helped Lily up the steps and through the door, where they were hit by a blast of warm air. They were just about to go up the stairs when they met Professor McGonagal going down them.
"This is a bit early for breakfast isn't it?" She said, then she leaned closer and said in mock disbelief, "Are my eyes deceiving me? Is this Lily Evans and James Potter walking together without taking chunks out of each other?" She leaned even closer and said, "Good heavens Lily, what have you been doing? You look dreadful."
"Thank you professor."
"I'm quite serious Miss Evans, I think you should go to the hospital wing immediately. Potter you can escort her there. Make sure she goes."
"Okay Professor." James said before steering Lily in the direction of the hospital wing.
"I don't think I need to go to the hospital wing, I feel loads better." Lily said, letting go of James's arm. Her legs buckled underneath her and James grabbed her to stop her falling.
"Yeah, sure you're better." James said sarcastically. "Professor McGongal told me to bring you to the hospital wing, so that is what I'll do."
"Since when have you been so keen to follow rules?" Lily asked huffily.
James gave her a shocked look, "I always follow rules Lily, are you suggesting I'm some kind of rebel."
"Oh shut up and bring me to the hospital wing." Lily said in an annoyed voice. But James knew she was enjoying this particular argument.
When they reached the hospital wing Lily stopped and said, "Well thanks for bringing me up her Potter."
"No problem."
"You can go now."
"Nah, I'll come in, make sure you've not got hypothermia or something."
"Gee Potter, I never knew you cared." Lily said with a smile.
"Yeah you do." James said pulling her into the hospital wing.
"What an earth have you been doing?" The matron asked Lily, disapprovingly.
"Well it was raining and I was outside and I got kinda wet." Lily said.
"Hmm, the thing these children get up to these days," The matron muttered to herself, "off with your boyfriend here." She said, nodding her head at James.
"He's not my boyfriend." Lily looked horrified, "He's ... Potter."
"Hmm," The matron said again. "Well this Potter can take himself back to his common room, while I go and get you some warm dry clothes." She said, disappearing off to find something for Lily to wear.
"Well, I better go then." James said.
"Yeah," Lily said, turning away from him. But when he was almost at the door she turned back around and yelled, "James."
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
James smiled and left the hospital wing before stopping, punching the air and saying triumphantly, "Yes!! She called me James!"
Okay, I know nothing much happens in this chapter but I thought that would be a good place to stop. Review and tell me what you think. Thanks xxx
