"Where were you guys, and where is Liv?" Jenny asked when she spotted us.
James, Sirius and I exchanged looks before we answered Jennys question. Just the thought of it, made me crumble, luckily I held myself before they knew what was happening.
"Liv is upstairs in the dormitory, and we have something to tell you all, but not a word about this to anyone else, Ok?" James said and the others just nodded. I sat back exhausted from the nights events and last nights revelations. James and Sirius told them what they had told me, and what Dumbledore warned us against. I opened my eyes when they finished.
Remus was in shock, as was Jenny and Nimi; Peter looked scared. There wasn't a single eye dry around the fire. After going over our own thoughts in our minds, we were pretty wiped out. We went upstairs to our dormitories, the boys stopped at our dormitory to check on Liv and then proceded to their own dormitory. Then as tired as I was could not close my eyes and surrender to the wishes of the Sandman. Jenny and Nimi probably heard me restlessly moving around, because soon they were at my bedside.
"Lily are you all right?" Nimi asked anxiously. I smiled at my friends and nodded reassuringly.
"I was just wondering what kind of creature is this that wants to destroy all muggle borns, what is wrong with them?" I started babbling suddenly feeling very vulnerable; I guess I was thinking that could probably be my family one-day. With that thought I nearly collapsed. Thankfully Jenny snapped me out of it. We sat there for the longest while, just comforting each other.
The next thing I knew, the rays of the bright sun were shining through the draperies and on my bed. I opened my eyes to see, Jenny and Nimi still on my bed fast asleep. I smiled as I saw their angelic faces, I did not want to wake them up so I decided to try a little spell.
"Wingardium Leviosa," I said clearly as I pointed my wand to Nimi, and to my surprise it was working. Nimi was being lifted off the bed and floating towards her own bed directed by my wand. Encouraged with my previous levitation success, I started the same process on Jenny; slowly she was lifted from my bed, Jenny stirred and slowly opened her eyes.
"What the?" she said confused and a bit alarmed by her current position of floating above my bed.
"Oops, sorry, I did not want to wake you," I said sheepishly, as I lowered her onto the bed.
"Dont worry about it," she replied and went on to get dressed. I looked around, my hands itching to find something to do. I went around the room, looking for Celestina, instead I found Angel, Liv's owl perched on her mistress's bed, looking quite disgruntled. I looked at her cage and saw it was a mess, I cleaned her cage and and gave her some food and water. Liv stirred and then started screaming. I quickly ran to her side followed by Nimi, Jen.
"Liv, Liv...get up, you are dreaming...LIV!" I called out alarmingly. James, Sirius and Remus, who had heard all the screaming, ran upstairs to find us calling to Liv. They all looked extremely alarmed at the sight of Liv flailing her arms and screaming. Finally Remus, who was very pale, came over to the bed and shook Liv very hard and tried to hold back the tears from his eyes. With a jerk, that scared every one of us, Liv laid still, not moving a muscle. The stillness of her body was the last straw for all of us, I broke out in racking sobs and then none of us could keep in our tears any longer. Remus looking quite shocked just stood over Liv, staring at her closed eyes.
"What is going on here?" said a voice behind us, after what seemed like hours and hours, when it was only ten minutes that had passed. I didn't even bother to turn around to see who it was, but I knew anyway.
"Oh my," Professor Mcgonagall gasped as she saw Liv's motionless body, "Mr. Weasley get Professor Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey quick." A boy who had come behind her scuttled out the doorway.
Remus stood over Liv's life less body; he looked appalled with himself, as if thinking it was his fault Liv was not moving. Liv stirred, a glimmer of hope arose in Remus' eyes.
"No please, no not mum and dad, Sarah, no please no, this cant be happening, NO!" screamed Liv and then lay still once again, eyes closed once again and paler than death itself.
The glimmer of hope in Remus' eyes flickered and then disappeared.
"Minerva, if you could please assist Madame Pomfrey in taking Ms. Parker to the hospital wing while I talk to her friends," a voice said behind them. Professor Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey came into view.
"Of course I will," Mcgonagall replied as she took out her wand, "Locomotor Olivia," she continued and Liv floated in midair and trailed behind the retreating backs of Professor Mcgonagall and Madame Pomfrey.
