Hello! I'm sick and off school! Wo0t!

Okay... to answer some of your questions. Yes, that really did happen. Though as I've said, James might be exaggerating a bit. But main plot of his story is true. It's not like Lily dumped him again and he thought it was a yes. LOl, hunni you're funny! Lolx that rhymes.... More now.

Post 49

"That's really sweet," I said.

"That was a really mushy ending," muttered Peter.

"You really love her don't you?" I asked.

"Ever since 3rd year! Our Jamesie was the first to fall in love! Awww," joked Remus, earning a punch from James. "We always played jokes on Lily and Nikki... until James fell in love, he refused to anymore. I remember how mad and betrayed Sirius felt."

"Yeah," said Sirius with a sad shrug. "His undying love took the fun out of life..."

"When I turn nineteen, I wanna get married," announced James proudly.

"What?" said everyone in unison. But James was already in his own little world.

"And we shall have 2 children! The first shall have James as his middle name! And if it's a girl, then it shall have Lily as its middle name..."

"He's already planning for children... Lily better be careful," muttered Remus darkly as James continued on ranting about what type of house they shall have, and how many bathrooms there'll have to be.

"Life is beautiful!" He ended with a sigh.

"Keep it down," warned Remus.

"Who's gonna hear us? The bedpans?"

"Madam Pomfrey maybe?" challenged Remus.

"You don't honestly think she sleeps in the Hospital Wing do you?"

"No, but she could be somewhere near and she will catch us here..."

"Remus the prefect," James sighed despondently.

"Shut up."

And suddenly there was a small click of a door closing. Soft as it might have been, the sound echoed around the room, reverberating across the walls and high ceilings.

"That must be her!" Squeaked Remus in fright, his face suddenly pale as sheet.

"Hide!" Hissed Sirius.

Immediately, like a pack of rats sensing danger, the sprinted in all directions. James and Peter slipped into the wooden cupboard at the end of the room. Remus hid behind the blue screens at the other end of the room and Sirius ducked right under my bed.

A moment later, a couple of candles by the entrance flicked alight and a tall woman's silhouette could be seen. She walked with short quick steps.

"Are you feeling alright? I heard voices," she said, her voice tinged with suspicion. Something told me she suspected the Marauders.

"That was just me," I replied quickly. "I was... singing." I nodded truthfully. "I can't sleep and I was getting bored."

She cast me a very disapproving look. "Glad that Black kid's finally gone... my patients need their rest and it isn't helping with him around."

I smiled weakly.

"Here, let me take a look at the wound..."

I opened up the nightdress to reveal the wound and she looked at it. It was slightly blood soaked, the bandages, but it was lesser than before.

"The potion is working perfectly, how are you feeling?"

"Just aching a bit..."

"I expect so... that curse took almost all your strength away," she stated. "Students these days. Where do they learn these things!

"Chilly night, isn't it? Would you like more blankets? I can get some from the cupboard," she said but she was already moving towards the cupboard.

I gasped. James and Peter were in there!

"No!" I shouted but lowered my voice. "I mean... I'm pretty warm here... thanks. I mean, wow, it's unusually warm tonight isn't it?" I fanned myself with my hand and pretended to wipe the sweat off my forehead.

"Are you sure?"

"Inescapably sure," I said, grinning my most innocent smile.

"Well then... goodnight, Miss McKinnon," she replied and swept across the room in small quick steps.

"'Night," I called after and when she shut the door with a small click, I sunk into my bed with a sigh.

A few seconds later, the boys jumped, crawled and slid from their hiding places.

"Well, I guess we better go," said James cheerfully with a slight shrug.

"Okay," I replied. "'Night!"

"You guys go ahead, I'm staying here..." said Sirius and he settled once more upon the chair next to my bed.

"Madam Pomfrey already thought you were gone," Remus pointed out.

"Well I'll just tell her I had to use the little boy's room for a while," he said with the slightest of a frown. "Okay, goodnight guys," he added with a tone that clearly meant it was final.

"See you in the morning," said Peter.

James threw the cloak above all three of them and we didn't see them anymore, just the low footsteps and the occasional grunts that meant that Peter had stepped on someone's foot. I turned towards Sirius.

"You should go, you know," I insisted worriedly.

"We've been through this already, okay?" He replied gently, running his fingers through my hair. "You don't really want me to go do you..."

"Not really," I admitted.

He grinned.

"Maybe you could take that bed?" I suggested, looking towards the bed next to mine, separated by the bedside table that held a jug of water and a glass.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure ol' Madam Pomfrey wouldn't mind..." he said cheekily and threw himself onto the bed where it bounced a few times, a few springs squeaking. He relaxed on it, putting his hands behind his head and putting one leg over the other.

I turned heavily onto my side to look at him.

"Thanks Sirius," I said softly.

He too turned onto his side and smiled. "What are boyfriends for?"

I returned the smile and not before long, my eyelids got heavy and sleep soon took over me.
