Chapter 19: Dear Diary
"One day your prince will come, mine just took a wrong turn, got lost, and is to stubborn to ask for directions," Morgan said to Lily, trying to keep a straight face, but tears were starting to form out of laughter. Lily rolled her eyes and grabbed the candy from Morgan's hands.
"What was that for?"
"You've eaten too much, it's my turn!" Lily smiled, starting on some Licorice Wands.
"Fine," Morgan pouted.
"Tell me again what happened last night," Jeannie asked, still amazed at what Morgan just told them. It was a Sunday afternoon and the girls were hanging out in their pajamas and eating junk food. All three girls were still tired from last nights events so they snuck up food from the kitchens and decided to relax for the whole of Sunday.
"Ugh, I just told you," Morgan complained, still mad at being deprived of her candy.
"Please, it's a good story!" Lily said simply, munching on Morgan's candy pastries.
"Only if you give me some candy," Morgan bartered.
"Here," Lily said, throwing some Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans at Morgan.
"Ok! So you wanna know?" Morgan asked, jumping off her bed and regaining her hyperness.
"Yeah," Jeannie replied, lying on her stomach and propping her hands under her chin to hold her head up, like a little girl.
"Alright. You know most of the story already, but whatever. So, I walk into the Great Hall with you, Lily and Sarah Knight. Eventually we separate and I walk over to the food table. This guy comes over, dressed as a vampire and starts to flirt with me. I play along because I see that my friends are all occupied. Jeannie with some loser, she probably thought it was Remus, but I knew better!"
"Hey," Jeannie yelled, throwing a pillow at Morgan.
"You wanted to hear the story! Anyways...I saw Lily with a werewolf and Sarah with a guy dressed as a Knight. I decided that I'll go for the vampire," Morgan laughed.
"What happened next?" Lily asked, even though she knew the outcome.
"After some...ummm...very interesting conversations, the werewolf came over, the same werewolf Lily was with. Anyways, the werewolf dragged the vampire away from me, scared if his friend would do anything he would regret later. But...the vampire promised to meet me at the revealing."
"Sweet stuff," Jeannie giggled.
"Very," Morgan continued, "Midnight came and I met up with him. Blah, blah, blah, the masks came off ...and it was Sirius. Me and Sirius!! We started to argue I bit...silly things, but then we just...you know!"
"No we don't!" Lily said.
"Yes you do!" Morgan argued.
"Just tell us again!" Jeannie said.
"Well, we kissed," Morgan said shyly. "Kissed?" Jeannie snorted, "More like full frontal snogging!"
"Shut up!" Morgan said, throwing the nearest pillow at Jeannie's face.
"Hey," Jeannie yelled, falling of the bed. Jeannie grabbed the pillow and threw it back, aiming for Morgan, but missing and hitting Lily in the stomach. Lily took the pillow from her bed and threw it back at Jeannie, feathers flying everywhere.
"Oh no you don't," Morgan screamed, chucking pillows at her friends.
The great pillow fight began.
Pillows were swung everywhere. Morgan had cornered Lily and was about to take a swing, when Jeannie jumped, from the bed, on to Morgan, who collapsed. Lily was set free. "Ouch! Hey!" Morgan laughed as both Lily and Jeannie started to pound Morgan with the pillows.
Common Room
James, Sirius and Remus were sitting in the empty Common Room as they heard some laughs and followed by crashes coming from the Girl's Dorm.
"What the?" Remus muttered.
"Maybe one of us should check what's going on up there," Sirius said.
"You go," Remus said, pointing to James.
"What? Why me?" James asked.
"Just go, you're closest," Sirius said.
"Fine, fine..." James said, getting up from his comfortable spot on the couch walking up to the foot of the bed. James grabbed the railing and hoisted himself up to the middle step and then the top step. Before the stairs melted away and turned into a slide, James put either foot on the side ledge of the stairs and held himself up by the railing. James was about to bang on the door, when the door itself opened up and Lily came running out into James. Lily came running out so fast that James staggered on to the steps, Lily in his arms. The steps melted away and James, with Lily in toe, slid down the 'stairs' and tumbled across the room, Lily hitting her head on the railing.
"Bugger..." Lily whispered, though she landed softly, on James, she hit her head. Lily rubbed her head as she sat herself up, no intentions of moving because she was so dizzy.
"Hem, hem," James coughed; he was sprawled out on the ground with Lily sitting on him.
"Oh My God!! I'm so sorry!" Lily muttered, rolling herself off of James.
"Not like I mind," James laughed intently. 'Now I've done it!! She's going to explode!!' James thought. He waited for Lily's retort, but it never came. Confused, he looked at Lily.
Lily was sitting on the ground, hugging her knees to her chest, with her head buried in her lap and her fingers rubbing her temples.
"Lils, you ok?" Remus asked, sitting beside Lily. Lily didn't answer right away, "Lily?"
"Huh? Oh...I'm ok, I just hit my head," Lily said.
"Are you sure?" Sirius asked, joining the conversation.
"I'll be fine," Lily whispered.
"Here. Let me help you up," James insisted. Surprisingly, Lily didn't object, so James grasped her under the arms and hoisted her up on her feet.
"Thanks," she murmured. He let go of Lily, so she could stand by herself, but she was so weak and dizzy that her knees buckled. Lily was about to hit the floor when James grabbed her again. But this time, instead of letting her go, he picked her up and carried Lily in his arms. Lily didn't say anything, her face was screwed up in pain...her head dropped...Lily had feinted.
"What's going on?" Morgan called from the top of the newly formed stairs, Jeannie speechless at her side.
"We have to take her to the Hospital Wing," James said urgently, running out of the Common Room, Lily in his arms, before anyone could say anything. James ran out into the hallway, and up onto the staircases. James started to breath deeply as he rounded the corner and up another flight of stairs. Quiddich did him good...
James heard footsteps behind him as kicked open the Hospital Wing's door. "Mr. Potter!! Quiet, I have patients that need rest!! What is all the commotion?" A young Madam Pomfrey said running to greet James, "Miss Evans!!!! What happened? Explain yourself, Potter!"
"She...hit her head and feinted," James said, telling the truth, but not saying how.
"Very well, place her on the bed," Madame Pomfrey said, running back to her office. James gently placed Lily on the hospital bed. He stepped back and looked at Lily; she looked peaceful, even though she was in pain. He brushed some of her red hair off of her face, she looked so beautiful. James studied her lips, if only...
But why not?
James leaned in, over top of Lily. He shut his eyes....3 inches away...2 inches away...1 inch...
Lily woke with a start and sat up on her bed. James for some reason, who was on her, fell off the bed.
"What the?" Lily asked, but then there was a sharp pain in Lily's head and she clutched her forehead.
"Lily...I...I'm sorry! I was just..." James stammered, but Lily wasn't listening.
"Shit..." Lily muttered, rocking back and forth, clutching her head.
"Sit back down, Miss Evans, you'll only get a bigger head ache," Madam Pomfrey said, returning with a steaming goblet. Lily reluctantly lied back down on the pillow as Madam Pomfrey fed her the goblet, "Mr. Potter, you can get off the floor and leave. Ms. Evans is in safe hands now, but thank you for your concern!"
"I would prefer to stay with Lily," James said.
"Well, there really isn't any need for you to stay..." Madam Pomfrey began but then the door exploded open and Jeannie and Morgan ran in, with Sirius and Remus at their heels.
"I think...I'm going...to die," An exhausted Sirius said, between heavy breaths, clutching his side.
"How...can you...run so...fast?" Remus asked Jeannie and Morgan.
"Try taking one of Morgan's work out classes...then you'll understand," Jeannie said casually, then spotted James, "James!! Where's Lily? Is she alright?"
"I'm not sure, but by the looks of it, she has a splitting headache. Madam Pomfrey is giving her some sleep potion now..." James said wearily.
"I must insist that you all leave. Miss Evans needs her rest...she has a concussion; by the looks of it...it needs to be quiet. Shoo!!" Madam Pomfrey said, waving her arms madly trying to get them out of the Hospital Wing. The 5 of them left, without seeing Lily.
"Bugger," Jeannie whispered as the door slammed in their faces.
"Now what?" Sirius asked.
"I know one thing we could do," Morgan said coyly, facing Sirius. Sirius smiled, but didn't answer. He wrapped his hands around Morgan's back and pulled her closer, kissing her on the lips, deepening by the second. Remus and James looked at them confusedly, not knowing what happened the previous night.
"Jeannie?" Remus whispered, pointing to the snogging couple. Jeannie just giggled.
"Ok, ok...not here!" Jeannie laughed, and walked away. Remus and James ran after her, not wanting to stay where his best friends were making out...together.
"Well? What's with Sirius and Morgan? Tell me!" Remus demanded, as he, Jeannie and a silent James strolled away from the Hospital Wing.
"She was the Green Fairy," Jeannie replied.
"What? Who?"
"Morgan was the Green Fairy at the Halloween Ball last night. She ended up with Sirius. One thing lead to another and here they are!" Jeannie laughed.
"Ohhh..." Remus concluded. Remus turned around to look back at Sirius and Morgan, but they were no where in sight.
The next Day
Morgan was helping herself to some toast when someone wrapped their hands around her waist, pulling her into a hug.
"Oh, Hey!" Morgan smiled at Sirius.
"Hey! Hogsmeade Trip today," Sirius said, sitting beside Morgan.
"Yes, so?" Morgan asked, taking a bite out of her toast.
"Want to come with me?" Sirius asked.
"I was going to go visit Lily...but I'll come with you after," Morgan agreed.
"Good stuff! So, I'll meet you in the Entrance Hall at," Sirius checked his watch, "11 o'clock?"
"Perfect," Morgan said. Sirius kissed her goodbye and walked out of the Entrance Hall. Jeannie and Remus walked in after Sirius left.
"Hey, you two!" Morgan singed between mouthfuls.
"Morning!" Jeannie said, smiling.
"What time did you guys go to bed?" Morgan asked, "You were still awake when I got back into the common room!"
"Late," Remus yawned.
"No wonder," Morgan laughed, "You two were looking very comfortable together by the fire!"
"What? We didn't do anything..." Jeannie responded, her cheeks tinting pink.
"Just homework," Defended Remus.
"Exactly!" Morgan laughed, collecting her things and walking out of the Great Hall, "See you in the Hospital Wing, Jean!"
Hospital Wing
"There you are," said Morgan, waiting outside the Hospital Wing for Jeannie.
"Sorry," Jeannie said, walking up to Morgan.
"You and Remus must have been REALLY busy for you to be this late, if you know what I mean," Morgan smirked.
"Nothing happened!" Jeannie said truthfully.
"Riiight," Morgan laughed, walking into the Hospital Wing, Jeannie following.
"Lily!!" Morgan yelled, "So glad to see you awake!!"
"Not so loud," Wined Lily, "I've got a splitting headache."
"How are you feeling?" Jeannie asked Lily.
"Horrid...I hit my head on the railing as I fell down the stairs...I fell on James...I couldn't get up, I was so dizzy...I really don't know what happened after that. And then I woke up and James was leaning over me. But right after that, Madam Pomfrey gave me a sleeping drought," Lily said, confused at the order of events.
"So you don't know how you got here?" Morgan asked, her eyes twinkling.
"No." Lily replied straightly.
"James carried you up here, after you feinted," Jeannie laughed, "You didn't know?"
"I had no idea, I must thank him!" Lily said, clueless.
"God Lily, I think that bump on your head did some sever damage," Morgan said, rolling her eyes.
"Do you know why he did that?" Jeannie asked, smiling, looking Lily in the eyes.
"Ummm...because I feinted?" Lily guessed.
"Yes and no!" Morgan said, "He also carried you because he's madly in love with you!"
"Loves me?!" Lily yelled hysterically.
"Yes, love!" Jeannie replied.
"He can't love me...a crush, maybe...you can't love someone...like me...when I don't even like him...ugh, this thinking makes my head hurt even more," Lily complained.
"We'll leave you to rest and think what we said," Jeannie said, getting up from her chair.
"Yes, I have to go meet Sirius now," Morgan said, looking at the clock on the wall: 10:55.
"So are you two a couple, now?" Lily asked.
"Maybe."
"You should have seen them after they left the Hospital Wing last night," Jeannie smirked.
"Get well soon, Lils...see you later!" Morgan smiled, ignoring Jeannie and walking out of the Hospital Wing.
Hogsmeade
"Where to first?" Morgan asked Sirius, hand in hand.
"Anywhere but outside, I'm freezing!" Sirius replied.
"Fair enough...Three Broomsticks?" Morgan asked.
"Sounds good," He smiled. They walked across the muddy street and into the Three Broomsticks. Morgan got them a table while Sirius paid for some drinks. When Sirius returned, Morgan was looking, with interest, to a table across the room.
"Look," Morgan said, smiling and pointing to a table.
"Where?" Sirius asked, sitting across the table from Morgan and setting the butterbeers down.
"There," Morgan smiled.
Sirius looked to where Morgan's finger was pointing. There, across the room was Jeannie and Remus, sitting together at a booth talking intently. Sirius laughed.
"Interestingly enough, because we're together, Lily's in the hospital Wing and James is sulking or hiding...Jeannie and Remus has been spending a lot of time together," Morgan said.
"Wonder what they're talking about?" Sirius wondered, and looked at Morgan, "Care to have some fun!"
"Oh yes!" Morgan laughed. Both of them grabbed their butterbeers, walked up from their own table and walked in front of Jeannie and Remus' booth. Before invited to sit down, Morgan plopped herself beside Jeannie and Sirius sat down beside Remus.
"Wh...what are you doing here?" Remus asked surprisingly.
"It's a Hogsmeade trip, of course we're going to go to the Three Broomsticks!" Morgan laughed.
"Do you have to sit with us?" Jeannie smiled, through her teeth.
"Yes! We do!" Sirius said leaning across the table.
"Why?" Remus said, glaring at Sirius.
"To see what you're up to!" Morgan said cheerfully.
"We're not up to anything, so you can leave. Now!" Jeannie said, still shocked.
"I'm not finished my drink yet," Sirius said, taking a tiny gulp. Remus getting frustrated with the whole situation grabbed Sirius drink from his mouth and dunked it on top of Sirius head. You would expect Sirius to be mad, but he wiped the butterbeer out of his eyes and smiled.
"I wonder why you did that." Sirius said, know perfectly why Remus would do something like that. Being best friends for almost 7 years, you learn what makes them happy, sad, their weak spots and how they get pissed off. Sirius knew how Remus got pissed off (well, one of the ways).
"Don't start," Remus warned. Morgan was laughing, while Jeannie was still in shock.
"I do think that Remus here is having a date!" Sirius said, "It's the only way to explain this." Sirius pointed to his soaked body.
"A date? With whom?" Morgan smiled. Remus had his hand was covering his face, while Jeannie was still in shock, but her face was terribly flushed.
"Why it must be our own little girl, Jeannie," Sirius said, mimicking shock.
"No!" Morgan acted, pretending to faint, "But she's only a baby."
"She's been plucked from the nest!" Sirius said, facing Remus, "How could you?"
"Yes, Remus, How could you take our baby girl away from us? She's not ready for the world of men!" Morgan argued, sarcastically.
"Morgan...you can stop now," Jeannie hissed.
"I don't think we can leave...not until you admit what you were doing here," Sirius said, smugly, folding his arms across his chest. Morgan placed her elbows on the table and propped her head on her hands. Both were waiting for an explanation.
After several awkward minutes, Morgan sighed, "Well?"
"Why should we tell you? We have every right to be here," Jeannie said.
"Oh come on...we already know why you're here, we're just getting you to admit it," Sirius said.
"Then why can't you leave? You already know that we're having a...a...date" Remus argued.
"It wasn't that hard, was it Remus?" Sirius asked.
"I think we will be going now...thank you so much for admitting what you're doing here," Morgan laughed, getting up from her seat.
"Shall we?" Sirius asked, offering Morgan his arm.
"We shall!" Morgan said, slipping her arm through Sirius'. They started to walk out of the Three Broomsticks, when Morgan turned around.
"Do take care of our baby, Remus," Morgan called back, sending Jeannie and Remus into a fit of redness, "Ta Ta!"
Lily screamed as James' lifeless body dropped to the ground. A shrill laugh wafted through the air.
Lily woke with a start, cold sweat dripping down her face. Her heart was pounding in her chest as her shaky hand reached for a candle. She took a deep breath as the candle lit up her familiar surroundings and reached for her bed stand, where a thick black book lay. She opened it up, leaving off where she had last ended and wrote:
November 2ndDear Diary,
It's happening again. Sometimes it varies, but mostly they are of James Potter dying. I don't understand this dream-- Why does it keep reoccurring? Why am I having it? What does it mean? It seems so real.
Every time I wake up, I'm sweating and shaking all over, I wish it would stop. It doesn't make sense to me. In Divination we learnt about the meanings of dreams and whatnot, but this is so specific! I don't think that I could look up James Potter and Voldemort and find a meaning in my Divination textbook! What am I to do?
On the lighter side, I'm feeling much better, though my dream just makes me more confused and my head starts to hurt even more. Madam Pomfrey has allowed me to rest in my own bed up in the Girl's Dormitory (where I am writing at the moment). I feel so much more comfortable here...where I can be in private.
I think I can here someone coming. It might be Jeannie or Morgan. I don't want them to see you, Diary, for I have never told them about you. I write my darkest desires and thoughts in you...even if they are my dearest friends, I don't want to imagine what they would do if they found you! What if you are read? I cannot begin to imagine.
Yours truly,
Lily Evans
