Lily spent the next few days in the infirmary, waiting for Madam Pomfrey to bustle in each morning with medicine.
"Now this is for your own good." Madam Pomfrey said sternly. "You do want to get better, don't you?"
Lily made a face at her as she turned her back.
"The only way for you to recover from this poison, you must-"
"Take medicine every day because of how the poison has affected my body. I know." Lily said. "I can walk! May I please go to class?"
"No." The nurse said in the same stern fashion. "Tomorrow you may start classes. If you do not...er.vomit anymore."
"So, may I please go to dinner tonight?" Lily pleaded.
Madam Pomfrey looked at her with confusion. "You are probably the first student in Hogwarts history who has wanted to leave the infirmary for classes."
"If I want to keep my title as Prefect, yes!" Lily sat back grumpily.
"Professor Dumbledore knows perfectly well that you have been poisoned and it was by his request that you stay here for as long as possible."
"What?" Lily asked. "Why?"
"He says that you should keep from students so that you are not poisoned again." She looked at Lily with pity on her face. "Whoever did poison you... They were not finished with their work. A very clever person did this to you, and it will be hard for you to escape whoever it is."
Lily sat back. They weren't finished with their work. What did that mean? Was somebody going to poison her again? Great, now all she had to do was walk off a cliff and everything would be perfect.
"Hey Lil." She heard Cassie's voice and perked up. Laura, Sirius, James, Remus, Peter, and Cassie stood at the foot of her bed.
"Hey guys!" She said happily. No one had come to visit her but her best friends.plus James.
"How are you feeling?" Laura sat on the edge of her bed carefully.
"Better." Lily smiled. "Honestly, stop treating me like I'm awaiting on my death bed."
Remus and Peter looked guiltily at her.
"Stop!" Lily demanded. "I am so serious, I am perfectly fine-oh no."
"Oh no?" Sirius panicked.
Lily pushed the blankets off her body and ran into the infirmary bathroom.
"Where is she going?" James asked, pulling up a few chairs from the other beds.
"She's throwing up." Sirius said feeling a little nauseated himself, putting a hand on his stomach. "I don't feel so good."
Laura slapped his arm. "Shut up. This is serious."
"Poor Lily." Cassie cooed.
Lily walked back, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand quickly.
"Are you alright?" James asked, sitting in one of the chairs he had stolen from the other beds.
"I'm fine. Don't make a fuss or Madam Pomfrey will hear." Lily said as she climbed back into the bed, pulling the sheets up to her neck. "Man, its cold in here."
"Its cold outside." Remus said. "But, they always keep the infirmary warm." He knew this of course, because of his monthly visits after he did his business in the shrieking shack.
"I'll go get Madam Pomfrey." Cassie said, walking away from her sickly friend.
"No.." Lily moaned.
"Lily, you have to stay here in order to get better." Remus said seriously.
"I AM better." She said stubbornly.
"No you aren't." James said. "Please, Lily. Stay here."
Lily looked at him and her heart softened. She remembered how many times she had given into that stupid, arrogant, insensitive James Potter all year.
"Fine." She mumbled.
"What is it, dear?" Madam Pomfrey asked, Cassie standing next to her.
"She barfed again." Sirius stated.
Laura gave him a death glare and he just grinned sexily at her.
Lily giggled. "You guys are so cute."
"Sometimes." James rolled his eyes.
"It gets annoying really." Remus said.
"Well, at least they aren't ignoring the fact that they love each other anymore." Lily said.
Madam Pomfrey fed Lily some disgusting tasting liquid and walked back to the other patient in the infirmary.
"Yuck." Lily sputtered.
"When do you get out?" Laura asked.
"I don't know. Madam Pomfrey said that if I didn't throw up at all today, I could go to classes tomorrow." Lily said sadly.
"Lily, I'd kill to be in your position right now." Sirius said.
"No you wouldn't." Lily looked at him. "Throwing up every two hours, morning and night. I have this stabbing pain in my chest, and a constant headache."
"But you get to miss classes." Sirius said and then pulled Laura onto his lap.
Laura put up a little struggle but eventually gave in.
Lily stared wide-eyed at him. "Miss classes?"
"Lily loves doing work, Sirius." Laura said. "Haven't you noticed yet?"
"I have." James said. "But don't you want a little break?"
"This is hardly my idea of a break." Lily motioned to the bottles of goo on her nightstand and her avocado green pajamas.
"There is only a week left of school until Christmas break." James said. "You should just stay here until then."
"You don't want me around, that's it." Lily huffed.
"No Lily, you just need to get better." Remus said. "We do want you around."
"No you don't." Lily said stubbornly.
Cassie sighed and stroked her arm. "No one said we don't want you around. The sooner you get better, the sooner you can be with us."
"Excuses, excuses." Lily folded her arms under her chest.
Peter sighed.
"PMS." Sirius stated as he got up to leave.
Laura slapped his arse.
"Ow. Feisty." He smiled the sexy smile and then turned to Lily. "We love you Lil. We want you to get better."
"Bye." Lily said meekly.
She watched them walk out, feeling so jealous of each of her friends. Sirius had this attitude that would brighten anyone's day. Cassie had an extreme amount of courage, but still cared for her loved ones. Laura as well as Cassie had great boyfriends. Remus had a heart of gold and was the calmest person Lily knew. Peter was very sweet and he always did things in good for others. James was...James. James the star chaser, James the hottest guy in school, James the one she liked so much.
She couldn't help but think about what would have happened if Gina had never lived. She is the reason James asked her to the Ball. Would he have asked her if Gina hadn't bugged him not to go with her? Or would he be going with the school's biggest bimbo, as he always did?
Confused and worried, Lily rested her head on her pillow for a nap.
"Poor Lily." Cassie said again. It seemed to be the only thing she said lately.
"She isn't dying." Sirius said.
"Yes, but she very well could have." Laura said softly. The thought of her best friend dying was horrible.
"But she didn't and isn't and we are all glad for that." Sirius said.
"Okay guys, no more moping around, Lily will be out of the infirmary in no time. I know you are upset I am too. But moping around the castle will not make her better." James said.
"Whoa, golden-boy caring for another." Cassie said.
James continued, ignoring her. "We have to do something, to brighten her day. We have to liven the atmosphere."
"That's a good idea." Peter said.
"What can we do?" Laura asked.
"Let's bring her flowers." Cassie said dreamily.
"I've already done that." James said.
"You have?" Laura eyed him.
"Yes." James looked back at her with a raised eyebrow.
Laura smiled. "Getting a teensy weensy crush on our Lilykins?"
"No." James said flatly. He didn't like Lily. Not that he knew of, anyway. He just felt like he needed to help her out and be a true friend to her. Yet, he had never done that for a girl before. Most girls (with the exception of Laura and Cassie), he dated, snogged, and dumped. He could not do that to Lily...not that he had and intention to.
"Hello, earth to James?" Remus snapped his fingers in front of James's face.
"Sorry." James snapped out of his thoughts.
"We were saying we could surprise her with fireworks." Remus said.
"Inside the infirmary?" James asked.
Remus stared at him. "Or course not, we were thinking on a picnic or at Hogsmead. You sure you are feeling alright?"
"I'm fine." James said.
"Well, come on. We have Ancient Runes next." Sirius said and ran up to Laura, grabbing her around the waist.
Laura squealed and ran off with him to God knows where.
"James." Cassie stopped him and let Peter and Remus walk ahead of them.
"Hmm?" He turned to her.
"Why did you tune out when Laura asked you if you fancied Lily?" Cassie asked bluntly.
James did not expect it and it hit him hard. "I-I don't really know."
Cassie looked him up and down. "Do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Do you fancy Lily?" Cassie asked, getting a little annoyed with his arrogance.
"I don't know."
"How can you not know?" Cassie asked.
"I didn't before." James said. "But now, I like her so much as a friend. And, well, lets face it, my reputation isn't the best."
"True." Cassie said, wanting to get more out of him.
"Besides, its not like she'd ever like me. She hates guys like me." James said.
"You'd be surprised." Cassie muttered under her breath.
"Excuse me?" James asked. To him, it sounded like: "Yoot see ruprise."
"Nothing." Cassie said and wandered to a seat next to Laura.
Professor Monaghan explained the theory of a particular set of Runes and announced that a group essay would be due at the end of the week.
"Pick your partners!" Professor Monaghan said.
Cassie paired with Laura, Remus paired with Sirius, Peter paired with a sixth year Hufflepuff so that he didn't have to do any of the work. James looked around. Everyone had a partner except him, but something caught his eye. Gina walked towards him.
"Hey James." She slid in the seat next to him. "I guess we're partners."
"Like hell we are." James muttered. "Why did you poison Lily?"
"What?" Gina asked. "I didn't do that to her!"
"Yes you did." James said angrily.
"James, I swear I did everything up until that point." Gina said seriously. "I don't know how to put together a complicated potion with poison. I don't even know where to get the poison."
"You're right." James said. "You don't have the brains to."
James walked up to the Professor and cleared his throat to get his attention.
"Yes, my boy?" he asked.
"Lily Evans is in the Hospital Wing today. I don't have a partner." He said quickly. "I was wondering if I could partner with her for this project."
"That is fine with me as long as you give her the instructions and share your notes about today's lesson." Professor Monaghan studied James. "She must know what she is writing about."
"She probably already does." James mumbled as he walked away, past Gina with a smirk on his face.
Once the day's classes were over, Lily showed up at dinner. She walked awkwardly past the stares and murmuring. She reached her friends at the usual spot and took a seat in between James and Laura.
"Lily, You're my partner." James whispered.
"Partner for what?" She asked.
"A group essay in Ancient Runes."
"Why?" Lily asked. There was still a bit of the Personality Potion in her.
"It was either you or Gina." James said.
Lily glared at him.
"What?" He asked.
"Why is it, whenever I'm paired with you for anything, it was either me or Gina?" Lily asked quietly.
"Because Laura, Cassie, Remus, Sirius, and Peter are always paired up with someone else before I get to them." James said.
Lily glared at Cassie. "I know what you're doing." She said finally.
"Me?" Cassie asked innocently. Remus flushed a little and the others squirmed in their seats.
"I knew it!" Lily said to herself.
"Lily!" Sirius asked laughing nervously. "Are you out of the Hospital Wing?"
Lily eyed him. "Nice way to change the subject. Yes I am."
"Good now we can finish-" Peter said and then Remus clamped his hand over his mouth.
"You can finish what?" James asked, putting his napkin down on the table rather abruptly.
"Finish our homework with Lily's help." Remus said. Sirius gave a nervous laugh.
James and Lily eyed them and started a conversation of their own.
"No way am I spending all of my free time in the library." James said seriously.
"What, will it interfere with your snogging sessions?" Lily asked with her chin resting on her hand.
"No." James said. "What about Quidditch?"
"James!" Lily said. "We have a week. You do not have Quidditch until after Christmas!"
"Yeah but-"
"James please." Lily looked at him. "What is the harm of being seen in the library with me? Will it ruin your reputation?"
"No." James looked at her.
"What?" She asked irritably.
"Your eyes turn dark green when you're frustrated." James smirked.
Lily rolled her eyes. "You don't have to spend all you free time in the library. Just an hour or two a day."
"Well.okay." James finally gave in.
"We can work in Hogsmead too-"
"No!" James cut her off. "Only a few hours a night."
"Fine." Lily said.
Wait. He looked at her eyes. Why did he look at her eyes? What business did he have looking at her eyes to see their color? Okay stop freaking out Lily.
"What are you doing now?" Lily asked him.
"Now your eyes are lighter." He smiled.
Lily ignored him and started eating her stew.
"Now they are dark again." James said. "Am I frustrating you?"
"Just a little bit." Lily said through gritted teeth.
James laughed as Lily flung a small potion of spinach from her spoon onto Sirius's face.
"What the HELL?" Sirius roared. Lily shook with silent laughter.
He looked down at her and pretended not to see her. He knew she had done it, but accused some Ravenclaw boy of hitting him. Sirius threw some food at him and this started a food fight in the Great Hall.
Laura screamed when some mashed potatoes hit her square in the face. Lily saw it come from Gina. She picked up the jug of juice near Remus and poured it down Gina's back.
James stopped throwing food to see what Lily had done. Lily crept back unnoticed by Gina's friends.
"Nice one." James smirked. Lily's heart melted.
"Thanks." Lily said before Dumbledore broke up the fight with a grin on his face. She looked at Professor McGonagall and saw her hide a small under her hand.
Lily, James, Remus, Cassie, Laura, Sirius, and Peter walked back to the Common Room talking about who they hit with which food.
"You should have seen Lily." Laura giggled and turned to her. "I've never seen you throw so fast or hard."
"Yeah, yeah." Lily muttered sheepishly, wringing the pumpkin juice from her hair.
"She got Gina really good with the juice." James said.
"I don't know how you hit Snape with the potatoes from so far away." Lily said to Sirius and James. He was their main target.
"So I see you've started calling him by his last name." James said.
"I did, didn't I?" Lily smiled to herself.
"Finally." Remus rolled his eyes.
