Author's note: Here's the next chapter! Again I say I'm spoiling you
people! I updated yesterday. But its spring break so don't get used to
this. Once I go back to school. It'll be back to getting one chapter a
week. Enjoy.
** Everyone knew it was Peter but since I want this story to fit in with JK
Rowling's books James, Lily, and everyone else won't know that**
Lans: Yay! A new reader! I'm glad you like my fic. I try to put action and comedy as well as romance in it. I hope it's working out.
Hukuna Matata: Thanks for reading. You don't know how much it means to me that you say my writing is good. Thanks again and keep reading.
The all mighty and powerful*M: I agree with you. Peter should die a very slow and painful death.
Mione-xavier: I hate him too.
^Lily^: Ok, I'm way ahead of you. Just read. I try to match it up best with the books. That's one goal I hope to accomplish with this fic. And your reviews mean a lot to me. Keep reading and reviewing.
~I'm Sorry~
"Ok everyone out! I let you stay here for a couple hours but these people need their rest. I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Madame Graham said coming over to Lily and her friends. They had been reading all Lily's 'Fan Mail' and talking about how Voldemort cold have found out about their little trip to Hogsmeade.
"Ok we'll come by tomorrow morning and after classes are finished ok?" Sam said and she stood up from the chair she'd been sitting in.
"Yeah, I hope you feel better tomorrow Lils." Jo said getting up from her seat and Remus, seeing that Jo stood, stood up next to her.
"I'll bring you food, Prongs and Padfoot." He said.
"You better." Sirius said.
"He will." Anna said and started moving everyone to the door. "Let's go." She saw Madame Graham glare at them.
"Ok everyone to your own bed." Madame Graham said shooing Cat, James, and Sirius away from Lily's bed.
"Night everyone." Sirius said as he lay dramatically down on his bed as if he was dying.
"Night Sirius, Lily, James." Cat said climbing in her bed with was across from Lily's and next to Sirius'.
"Night Lils." James said lying down in his bed.
"You say good night to Tiger Lily but not your best friend?" Sirius sat up in his bed acting offended.
"Shut up and lay back down." James said from his bed.
"Everyone quiet!" Madame Graham shouted and turned off the lights by mutter a simple spell. "Nox."
~3 hours later~
"James?" Lily awkwardly sat up. It still hurt. "Is that you?" She squinted at a figure walking in front of her bed.
"Yeah." James whispered back. "Sorry if I woke you up."
"No you didn't." Lily said laying back down. "I can't sleep."
"Me either." James said. "I think I've gone to the bathroom five times in the last three hours."
"You wanna talk?" Lily asked. She didn't know why but she thought it would help.
"Yeah sure." James said taking a seat in one of the chairs next to Lily's bed.
"So..." Lily started but didn't know what to say. They sat there for a few minutes in silence. It wasn't uncomfortable it was just quiet.
"I'm sorry." James said suddenly.
"Sorry for what?" Lily asked curiously. He hadn't done anything lately. Not since the thing on the train oh and the food fight. At the thought of the food fight she let out a little giggle. It was kind funny.
"What's so funny?" He asked. He didn't think apologizing was so funny.
"I was just thinking that you hadn't done anything since the food fight that was worth apologizing for. And that got me thinking about the food fight. It was pretty fun." Lily explained.
"Oh well I wanted to apologized for what happened in Hogsmeade." James said softly.
"Oh, James that wasn't your fault." Lily said taking James' hand to reassure him.
"Yes it is." James insisted and absent-mindedly played with Lily's hand. The hand she had touched his hand with to comfort him. James may not have been aware of what he was doing but Lily was suddenly very aware of her hand and blushed. "They were looking for me and if I hadn't dragged you, you wouldn't be hurt like this. I'm so sorry Lily."
"Oh, James I don't blame you. You shouldn't blame yourself either." Lily wanted to cry. She couldn't believe James was blaming himself for this. "I wouldn't have let you take me if I didn't want to go in the first place."
"It's still my fault." James said stubbornly.
"James Harold Potter!" Lily said harshly but still in a whisper. "If you better not keep blaming yourself."
"Sorry. I'll try not to." James said as he traced the lines along Lily's palm.
"James, stop that tickles." Lily balled her hand into a fist and tried to pull her hand away but James grabbed it back. "James no!" Lily laughed. James just smiled.
"So know I know that our Tiger Lily is ticklish." James laughed and tickled her palm again.
"James stop!" Lily gasped she was laughing so hard.
"Lily it's just your palm." James said. "Not many people are ticklish on their palms."
"Well, I'm not like most people." Lily said now that James stopped tickling her she could breathe and talk.
"No your not." James agreed.
~Next Morning~
"Aww!" Sam exclaimed. "Look how sweet they look."
"Shut up." Cat said sharply and slapped Sam on the arm. "You'll wake them up." Remus, Jo, Sam, Peter, Cat, Sirius, and Anna were all standing around Lily's bed.
Lily was laying on her right side and James was sitting in a chair that was pulled up close to her bed. His head lying on her bed and was holding her hand.
"Well, that little love birds need to wake up!" Sirius said loudly. "It's morning and if I have to be stuck in here another day they had better be awake to entertain me." Then he stuffed a biscuit in his mouth Remus had brought from breakfast.
"Get over yourself." Cat slapped Sirius across his chest making him spit out the biscuit he had just put in his mouth.
"OW!" Sirius exclaimed.
"That's disgusting!" Sam exclaimed.
"Someone's violent today." Anna commented. Cat sent her a glare and Peter snickered. He looked slightly nervous about something but no one noticed.
"James get up." Remus said gently and shook James' shoulder.
"Five more minutes mummy." James muttered.
"Mummy?" Remus said offended. "Do I sound like a woman?"
"Moony's a mummy! Moony's a mummy!" Sirius sang in a singsong voice and did a little dance.
"Oh shut up!" Cat smacked the back of his head.
"Quit hitting me Woman!" Sirius hollered.
"No Remus you do not sound like a woman." Jo said softly. And Remus smiled.
"Yo! James get up!" Anna bent down and shouted in James' ear.
"What? Who? I'm up! I'm up!" James jumped out of his chair, his glasses askew because he'd fallen asleep with them on.
"Good morning Sunshine!" Sirius smiled.
"Right." James grumbled. He looked down at Lily and remembered last night. They had stayed up late talking. He must have fallen asleep next to her bed. 'Great now I'm never going to hear the end of it.' He thought.
They all saw that Lily was now stirring. They weren't going to wake her because her injuries we much worse than the rest of theirs.
"Great Anna you woke Lily up." Sam chided.
"Did someone say my name?" Lily asked half awake.
"Yeah. Kind of. A little bit." Anna answered.
"What?" Lily said now fully awake and hoisted herself up into a sitting position.
"Wait-"
"No-"
"Lily-"
"Hey-"
"Don't-"
"What-"
"Sit-"
"Be-" Everyone shouted at the same time when they saw what Lily was doing. She cut them off before any of them could finish their thought.
"Calm down!" Lily smiled. "I'm fine. I feel much better today." She reassured them.
"Just be careful." Cat scolded.
"I feel much better. I promise." Lily said again. "It must have been the potion Madame Graham gave me yesterday." She told them. 'Or that talk with James last night.' A voice in her head told her.
"Miss Evans how do you feel today?" Madame Graham asked coming out of her office.
"Much better thanks" Lily said for what felt like the hundredth time this morning.
"That's wonderful." Madame Graham. "I'm keeping you here for another day but Mr. Black, Mr. Potter, and Miss Watson you are free to go."
"FREE, FREE, WE ARE FREE AT LAST!" Sirius bellowed standing on a chair. "Get down you stupid git." Cat said and pushed Sirius down.
"HEY!" Sirius yelled and hit the ground with a load thump. "Ow..."
"Sorry to say this mate but you deserved that." Remus said giving Sirius his hand to help him off the ground.
"Shut up Moony." Sirius muttered.
"So how much longer am I going to be in here?" Lily asked Madame Graham both ignoring Sirius.
"Probably another day or so." She answered.
"Don't worry Lils. We'll bring you all your work and I'm sure Cat or Jo will take notes for you." Anna said.
"Are you sure I can't leave today?" She looked at Madame Graham.
"No dear you need some more rest and I want to make she you don't have any new pains." Madame Graham.
"New pains? She's going to get new pains?" James asked worried.
"It's very possible." Madame Graham explained. "Many people who have been under the Crucio curse don't experience some of the effects till days or even weeks later."
"Oh great." Lily moaned.
"Since you were in so much pain yesterday I don't think you will have any other side effects but I'd like to keep you here just incase." Madame Graham said.
"Oh we'd better get going or we'll be late for Charms." Jo said worried.
"Ok you five go and James, Sirius, and I will meet you there." Cat told Sam, Anna, Jo, Remus, and peter. "We need to change."
"I'll write you three a pass." Madame Graham offered. "I'm sure Professor Flitwick will understand."
"Don't forget to get my assignments." Lily called after the group as they made their way to the do of the hospital wing.
"Don't worry Lily. I won't forget." Jo yelled back and they left.
"Well, today should be loads of fun." Lily muttered to herself.
"We'll be back at Lunch." Cat said and pushed James and Sirius out of the Hospital wing so they could get to the Gryffindor Tower and change.
"Bye." Lily said softly to no one in particular. She had never stayed in the hospital wing. Let along by her self. She was a little scared. Though she shouldn't have been. She'd find out soon that the worse thing that could happen to you would be that you'd be bored to tears.
*Ok yeah I update yesterday. I was going to update sooner today but then I had to eat dinner and then I got stuck doing the dishes and that took forever. I'll try to update tomorrow but I won't for a couple days after that because I'm going to Ohio! YAY! You know what to do. Hit the button and drop a review*
