Chapter 5: A New Day
Lily woke up the next morning pounding with newfound energy. Looking outside, she saw what a lovely day it was and decided to do some reading by her favorite tree. Her spirits were lifted when she found the Heads Common Room empty. That meant James is either getting a full night's rest or he had finally been ready to leave the dormitories. Either way, it meant that she wouldn't have to face him at that particular moment.
As quietly as she could, in case he was asleep in his room, Lily snuck out of the Common Room and made her way down to breakfast. It wasn't very early (around 9) but, thankfully, the Hall was empty save for a few students. After a quick breakfast, Lily visited the library and checked out a few books dealing with defensive manuevers aganist multiple opponents (for some light reading, of course). She strolled down towards the lake until she came upon a small grove of old trees, even the smallest too large for Lily to wrap her arms around. Settling down, she began to read.
James woke up slowly and looked around him. He was in his room, with no memory of how he got there. Glancing over at a clock, James saw it was already 11:00 am. He could hear Sirius snoring and saw that both Sirius and Remus were still asleep, both draped over armchairs near a table on the other side of his room. He sleepily searched his mind for the night's events. He remembered going to the kitchens and the three of them eating themselves sick... Then... then... nothing.
He threw his head back and hit his headboard, making a loud THUMP noise and adding to his already painful headache. Rubbing the sore spot on the back of his head, James saw his friends begin to awaken, just as groggy as he was. Brows furrowed, Remus looked at his surroundings until the lightbulb went off. It seemed to James that at least ONE of them remembered what had happened that night before.
Sirius was currently doing his best to rub the sleep from his eyes and walk to the bathroom at the same time, causing him to continuously bump into things, until he walked striaght into the bathroom door. Now fully awake, Sirius walked into the bathroom, ignoring the stifled giggles of Remus and James. Remus yawned loudly and stood up out of his chair, streching. James turned to him with a confused expression.
"Moony, do you ... well... remember what happened last night by any chance?" James asked, running his fingers through his hair nervously. You would almost think he was afraid to find out! Remus smiled and sat back down.
"Well, mate.... we went to the kitchens for a bite-" He began, but James inturrupted him impaciently.
"Yes, yes. I remember eating- A LOT, mind you, of food at the kitchens. But after that, it's kinda blank, mate."
"Oh, well. We ate for over an hour and a half, to a point where even Sirius felt sick. By then, it was passed curfew, so we snuck back to the Common Room as best we could. I'm surprised Filch didn't catch us- too much food can make us quite sleepy, you know, and quite stupid. You especially seemed out of it, knocking into everything, acting a bit drunk if you ask me. Sirius seemed to be enjoying himself nearly as much as you, though he was slightly more in control of himself. Anyway, we managed to stumble into your dormitory and then we all basically collasped and fell asleep. No big deal. I do wonder why you don't remember, though." Sirius walked back into the room, smiling smugly.
"He doesn't remember because I spiked his drink! Well, actually, all of our drinks were a bit irish, 'cept it's James who can't hold his liquor. Sorry, mate, but I did it for your own good! You were just far too mopey, talking all the psycological mumbo-jumbo with dear, Professor Moony over there. Besides, I don't think Evans would have been all too thrilled if the three of us continued to discuss her as if she were some kind of new exhibit in a zoo, for us to figure out and study and stuff. You wanna know whats wrong with her? Ask her!" Done with his speech Sirius looked around and found the map on the floor near James' bed.
James and Remus sat still for a moment, absorbing all that Sirius had said. He was right, of course. Lily would be furious if she had found out that the three [well, two] of them had been discussing her as if she were some kind of problem that could be solved or something. After a few moments of silence, Remus asked if anyone else was interested in a late breakfast. Sirius automatically agreed and James followed the pair out of his dormitory.
James immediately searched the Great Hall for any sign of Lily, to no avail. James and Remus ate only a little, not very hungry just yet. Sirius, on the otherhand, devoured his meal as if he hadn't eaten in ages. As Sirius ate his weight in breakfast, Remus was shocked to hear about "the big kiss". Finally, Sirius announced he was full just as lunch began in the Great Hall and the trio left the Great Hall, walking towards the Quidditch Pitch with Sirius in the lead. A bit of flying would do James good and get some freash air into him, after being cooped up in his dormitory for so long, Sirius thought to himself.
They flew for around hours, until around 4 in the afternoon. James was exhilerated while his mates were exhausted after flying for so long. Full of energy, James bounded his way back into his dormitory, with Sirius and Remus trailing behind him. They all cleaned up and met back in the Common Room. James and Sirius began a game of chess while Remus read a book he had got from the library.
Soon enough, Remus had fallen asleep and Sirius seemed ready to take a nap right then and there. After James won the third game in a row, Sirius had finally nodded off with his head on the board. Deciding it was best not to wake them, James picked up a book of his own and read until dinner.
Around 6, James was starting to get hungry and his friends were still asleep. He knew it was virtually impossible to wake either of them up, so he went off to dinner alone, enjoying the momentary peace and quiet. Of course, as soon as he entered the Great Hall, his peace and quiet was a thing of the past. He had forgotten how LOUD the Hall could get during mealtimes, all that chatter.
A quick sweep of the Gryffindor Table told him Lily wasn't there. He hadn't seen her all day, which was a bit of a relief, mostly because he had no iea what he would say to her if he did see her. But still, it wasn't good for her to go missing meals just to avoid him. With an inward sigh, James knew it was pointless to worry, he'd find her after dinner. Hopefully, she'd stick around long enough for them to talk about what had happened, because thinking about it was driving James crazy! He wanted to know what it meant, and the only person who might be able to tell him was Lily.
