Chapter 26

Lily was pacing back and forth, and back and forth outside of the Hospital Wing. Madam Pomfrey hadn't let Lily, Sirius, Remus, Gabriella, Peter, or Amy inside of the Hospital Wing. No one was saying a word, just sitting there speechless staring out in space. There was a sound, as if someone running down the corridor and when everyone turned their heads to the noise of the footsteps and there was the owner to those feet. The feet belonged to none other than Alice Westbrook.

"What are you doing here?" Cassidy said with absolute dislike dripping off of her words.

"I'm concerned about James," Alice said in surprise that Cassidy would address her with such hate.

"Oh are you really?"

"Cass," Sirius said giving her some eyes.

"Stuff it Siri, I don't want to hear it. Alice isn't really worried about James, she's being little miss…"

"Cassidy!" Lily yelled, "Just stop."

"What?!"

"Please just stop."

There was another pair of feet running down the hallway, this time the feet belonged to Sarah Potter. "J…James, where is he?" She asked with tears streaming down her face and she was shaking. Sirius jumped up and embraced Sarah, trying to comfort her.

"He's inside the Hospital Wing," Gabriella said still looking at the floor.

Sarah pulled her head out of Sirius's shoulders, "Why aren't you guys in t…there with him?"

"That hag won't let us in," Remus growled and everyone began to laugh. "What?" He asked innocently.

"I've never heard you talk so hostile about someone else…well that is except Snape," Lily giggled.

"Well?" Remus stuttered starting to blush.

"When can we see him?" Sarah asked walking over to Lily.

"I don't know." Lily sniffled.

"I want to see him."

"I know you do Sarah, we all do."

"You shouldn't be here," Cassidy repeated to Alice.

"Why not? James is as much my friend as he is yours, and I'm concerned about him."

"Like you were concerned about Lily and Gabriella, but you and your boyfriend hang out with Amos and Ludo?"

"I don't have to take this…you wouldn't understand."

"Then tell me?"

Alice rolled her eyes at Cassidy, "Whatever! If you're going to be a prat about this I can come back later." Alice turned attention to Lily, "If you get to see James before I can get back around without Miss Smarty-pants. Can you tell him that I said I hope he get well soon?"

Lily nodded, and Alice stormed off.

"What's wrong with you?" Sirius hissed at his girlfriend.

"What do you mean what's wrong with me? There is nothing wrong with me, but there is something wrong with Westbrook. She's been hanging out with the enemy, Ludo Bagman and Amos Diggory. And she expects us to just welcome her back into our crowd? It's just…"

"Cassidy please just shut up," Gabriella hissed finally looking up from the spot she'd been looking at for the past hour.

"Excuse me?"

"Well it's not like she really has a pick of who her boyfriend hangs out with," Lily spoke up. "I mean if you weren't dating Sirius would you actually hang out with the Marauder's as much as you do?" Lily didn't wait for Cassidy to answer and Lily went on, "No you wouldn't. You'd be around every once in a while, like Alice tries to. But at functions you'd be with your boyfriend. Alice is kind of force to hang out with those losers because her boyfriend shares a dormitory with them." Cassidy knew Lily was right but she wasn't going to admit it at this time so Cassidy just rolled her eyes and leaned into Sirius arms and waited like the rest of the to find out what was going to happen with James.

Remus woke up at about two hours later to find Gabriella asleep in his arms, Sirius and Cassidy were asleep in each other's arms, and Sarah was asleep with her head in Lily's lap; while Lily ran her fingers through Sarah's thick black hair.

"Everyone crash on you?" Remus asked with a chuckle as Gabriella fell into Remus's lap and slept there.

Lily chuckled with Remus, "Yeah after you fell asleep they all started dropping like flies. Sarah cried herself to sleep, but I think she was trying to hide her tears from everyone. She's really worried about James."

"Yeah we all are." Lily nodded at Remus's comment. "Has any teachers come down here?"

"Yes," Lily nodded again. "Professor Dumbledore has made a few visits, and told me that Madam Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Sprout are still in there trying to wake James up. Mrs. Potter has also been by here. She talked to me for a while, but she's gone to bed now. Dumbledore promised her as soon as they know what's going to happen with James that she'll be addressed first."

"So I guess we're all staying here for the night?" Remus asked Lily.

"Guess so, Dumbledore didn't tell me that we needed to go to bed and we're all just out here bothering no one. Dumbledore has passed by every thirty minutes or so."

"Miss Evans?" Madam Pomfrey asked sticking her head out of the doorway of the Hospital Wing.

"Yes?"

"Can you please go get Professor Dumbledore please and tell him to get Mrs. Potter as well?"

"Yes ma'am." Lily got up and transformed her purse into a pillow for Sarah's head. "Watch her for me Remus, and if she wakes up tell her I'll be right back."

Remus nodded and Lily headed towards the Headmaster's office to get Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Potter. It was obvious to Lily that something had progressed or got worse in James's condition. Lily just wished that Madam Pomfrey had told Lily something, as she had been worrying about James since the end of the game. The game had ended about four that afternoon and it was now almost two o'clock in the morning. Lily reached the stone gargoyle that protect the Headmaster's office from trespassers that didn't know the password or had no business to be at the Headmaster's office. Lily repeated the same password she'd said just days ago, "Lemon Drops!"

When Lily had reached Dumbledore's office she found his office empty and quiet. "Professor?" Lily asked and she heard a noise behind her. Lily turned to see a room that was closed by a door, and a light flickered on. Lily knew this because she saw light leak out from under the door crack.

"Who's there?" Came a sleepy Dumbledore voice.

"Lily Evans."

"Oh! Miss Evans just a moment." That's all he took too.

Dumbledore was wrapping a bathrobe around himself, "Is there anything I can do to help you Miss Evans?"

"Madam Pomfrey told me to come up here and get you and to also ask you to bring Mrs. Potter with you when you arrive at the Hospital Wing."

"There must be a progress with James's health. Did Poppy say anything to you about Mr. Potter?" Lily shook her head no and Dumbledore went on. "I did tell her to tell no one about James condition, but I thought she'd at least tell James girlfriend, for what almost two months now?"

Lily blushed and nodded.

"Would you like to come with me to go and collect Grace?"

"Sure, I enjoy her company."

Dumbledore smiled, "Yes she is a very pleasant woman to be friends with. James and Sarah are lucky to have her as a mother, and Harold is lucky to have her as a wife."

"Have they found Mr. Potter yet?"

"I'm afraid they haven't yet Miss Evans." Dumbledore said stepping out of his office with Lily following him. "We have however think we have an idea where he's at and what going on."

"Well if you know where he is, why aren't you guys going in to get him?"

"We've got to strategize before we go in, we've got a spy on the other side and they'll let us know when the time is right. Besides we're not completely sure that he's actually there. We do know that Voldemort has him captive."

"You said his name?" Lily asked not afraid but astounded.

"Miss Evans could you do me a favor?"

"Anything Professor."

"Never be afraid of his name. Please do not call him 'You-Know-Who' or 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.' Only call him by his name, Voldemort."

Lily nodded, "Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing."

"That's a very wise interpretation. Do you mind if I say that?"

"Nope," Lily said shrugging her shoulders. "The quote is all yours."

They stopped in front of a room Lily recognized only too well, "What are we doing outside the Room of Requirement?"

"Oh you know of this room?"

Lily nodded, "It helped sooth me when I found out my grandmother died."

Dumbledore gave her a questioning look, "I thought Mr. Potter found you and soothed you."

"Yes, well he helped," Lily said shrugging.

Dumbledore knocked on the locked door of the Room of Requirement, "Grace it's me Albus. Poppy is calling us." The door sprang open and there was Grace Potter in a bathrobe and her face looking flushed.

"What's going on with James?" She asked worried.

"I don't know yet," Dumbledore answered honestly. "Poppy sent Miss Evans to come and collect me and for me to come and collect you. I asked Miss Evans if she'd like to join me to come and get you and she agreed."

Grace smiled at Lily, "Well that was nice of you dear."

"Thank you Mrs. Potter."

Grace chuckled, "I told you before Lily dear, please don't call me 'Mrs. Potter,' please call me Grace. You make me feel old when you call me that."

"I'm sorry," Lily apologized."

"Don't be," Grace said shrugging it off. "Let's just go see how my boy is doing. I bet your almost as much of a nervous wreck as I am."

"Probably," Lily said feeling horrible.

"Did you see him fall?" Grace asked, and Lily nodded. She didn't trust herself to talk at this moment, she was too afraid she'd break down into tears.

When Professor Dumbledore, Mrs. Potter, and Lily arrived at the Hospital Wing; everyone was awake and Sarah ran to her mother. "Mummy! What's going on? How is James?"

Grace wrapped her arms around her daughter, "Sarah dear. I'm as clueless as you are. Madam Pomfrey asked Lily to come and get Professor Dumbledore and me, so we could see how James is doing. I'm guessing something has changed."

"Can I go in with you?" Sarah pleaded with her mother.

"Of course you can," Dumbledore said smiling at her. "I'm going to go against Poppy's wishes, as I do so often. You can all come in to see how he's doing. Grace, Sarah, Sirius, and myself."

"No let Lily go in my place. I can wait to see James and I know she's about to have a nervous breakdown," Sirius waved. "I can wait until Cassidy, Gabby, and Remus are allowed to go in."

"Are you sure Sirius?" Lily asked, "You guys have been best friends since…forever."

"Yeah but you're his girl, he'll want to see you. And I know you're dying to see him."

"Thank you Sirius!" Lily said jumping to hug him.

"It's cool Lils," Sirius said fearing Lily was going to squish him to death.

"Miss Evans, we're going in now."

Lily nodded and followed the rest.

"Albus, I'm sorry I must object. The girls can not…"

"Poppy, listen. Miss Potter is James's sister and she will see him. She has as much right as her mother and I do. Miss Evans is James's girlfriend and is having a nervous wreck, she has my word to see James. And after we leave I want you to allow Miss Martinez, Miss O'Brian, Mr. Black, Mr. Pettigrew, and Mr. Lupin inside to see Mr. Potter for five minutes."

"What happened to Amy?" Sarah asked Lily.

"She went back to her dormitory."

Madam Pomfrey began to speak, "He's responding now to the medication and should be waking up soon." Madam Pomfrey walked to the very back of the Hospital Wing, in which everyone followed her to the very last bed with a curtain all the way around the bed. "He's behind here, I'll just move the curtain and the four of you may sit around him and wait for him to wake up."

"Thank you Poppy," Dumbledore said. Madam Pomfrey nodded at him and opened the curtain up.

"Albus can you come and tell me when Mr. Potter wakes up? I need to give him a few more potions when he wakes up."

"Yes poppy, I'll come and tell you myself."

Grace sat on the right side of James's bed, Sarah sat right next to her mother, and Lily on the left side of James; in chairs that Dumbledore flicked out of his wand. Grace grabbed his right hand in her hand, and Lily had James's left hand in hers.

"How long do you think we have to wait until James wakes up Mummy?" Sarah asked with tears filling up in her eyes.

"I don't know dear, but hopefully soon." Grace said kissing Sarah's forehead.

Then there was a jerk from both sides of James and he'd grabbed both of his hands from the two women that were sitting on either side of him.

"James!" Lily gasped smiling at him, "Are you alright? We were all so worried about you."

"You were?"

"Yes, yes of course. Sarah, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Gabriella, Cassidy, and I have been sitting outside of the Hospital Wing all night worried about you. Professor Dumbledore owled your mum and told her what happened."

"What happened?" James asked confused.

"James, honey…you've got to remember." Lily leaned down to kiss him and he shrugged away from her.

"You keep talking about this James person, who's James? I only see you females, oh were you talking to that old man that just left?"

"No," Lily gasped. "You do remember me don't you?"

James stared at her blankly, "No. Should I?"

"James?" James turned to his right to find an older woman and a young girl that looked similar to him.

"Yes?"

"Do you remember either of us."

"No."

Sarah gasped, but Grace kept talking. "I'm you mother, this is your sister Sarah, and to your left….that's your girlfriend Lily."

James gave her a peculiar look, "You're my girlfriend?"

Lily nodded, "Yes James. We've been going steady for two months, and I've cared for you for half a year, and you've loved me since our first year here."

James nodded his head, "Hmm."

"James?" Came a voice and James turned to see an older man addressing him with a nurse following the old man.

"Is that me?"

The older man nodded at James, "Yes. James is your name. This is Madam Pomfrey and she's going to give you some medication."

"For what?"

"You had an accident today. You were playing Quidditch against Slytherin and you fell off your broom…about a thirty foot drop."

"I play Quidditch?!" James asked amazed.

"Yes you play Quidditch," Lily spoke to him again. "You were just named Quidditch Captain for Gryffindor Quidditch team."

"I'm captain too. Wait you said Gryffindor? I'm at Hogwarts?"

Lily looked at him stunned, "Yes what school do you think you go to?"

"I don't know."

"How old do you think you are?" Grace asked her son.

"I don't know…" James just stood there just quiet. "I don't know anything."

"Alright, alright. I think we're smothering Mr. Potter. I'm sorry Professor, I'm not going to be able to let the others in tonight. Possibly tomorrow. I need to give Mr. Potter his medication, and I can see he's suffering from memory loss. And he won't remember any of you, and if he does it will be a miracle. Give it a few days and he should be alright."

As Lily walked out of the Hospital Wing and joining James and her friends she felt as if she'd completely break down.

"Is he awake?" Gabriella asked and Lily nodded.

"Great! When do we see him?" Sirius asked.

"I'm afraid not until tomorrow," Dumbledore said coming out behind Lily.

"What?" Peter asked, "I thought that you said that we'd be able to see James tonight?"

"I did, but I'm sorry I have to break my promise. James is suffering from memory loss and can not remember a thing. Madam Pomfrey kicked us out and has to give James some medications and some potions. But you can see James tomorrow."

They all nodded and began to walk back towards the Common Room. Sarah hugged her mother goodnight and followed Lily back to Gryffindor Tower.

The next day everyone went to go visit James in the Hospital Wing, except Lily. Lily felt absolutely crushed. Lily felt so many things for James and he couldn't even remember who she was. Not that she blamed him, it wasn't really his fault. But it still broke her heart.

Lily thought she'd cast a proper silencing charm on her bed the night before, but she didn't and all of her roommates heard Lily cry her eyes out until she fell asleep. Cassidy had tried waking Lily up to go see James with the rest of them, but Lily just acted like she wasn't waking up.

"Leave her alone, she needs to be alone." Alice said placing her hand on Cassidy's shoulder, and Cassidy just nodded. Cassidy knew this wasn't the time to yell at Alice; Lily was too upset right now.

Lily didn't go to breakfast, lunch, or dinner that day and she didn't leave her room all day, except to take a shower.

As a matter of fact Lily was sitting in her bed with her draperies around her as she was reading her favorite muggle book, Gone With the Wind. Lily heard her bedroom door slam and then saw her curtains fly open, and in front of her was an angry looking Cassidy O'Brian.

"What's got your panties in a bunch?" Lily asked looking back down at her book.

"You."

"Me?"

"Yes you. You're avoiding everyone and James because he can't remember you? Hell Lily he can't remember anyone! Paris has been corrupting his mind all day."

"What?!" Lily said throwing down her book and jumping to the floor.

"Yeah," Cassidy said shaking her head. "She dumped whatever scum bag she was with this time. She went to see James and he told her she was hot, and that he wished she was his girlfriend."

"Oh Merlin," Lily said trying to fight her tears.

"So Paris jumped on it…."

"Their together?"

"I don't know yet. You should go see James before it's too late."

Cassidy didn't have to say anything else because Lily sprinted out of the room, Common Room, and on her way to the Hospital Wing to see James.

Lily opened the door to the Hospital Wing to see James's bed had been moved up to one of the first beds you saw as soon as you entered the Hospital Wing. Lily sat down beside him and he gave her that questioning look that always made her melt.

"Can I help you red?"

'Red?' She asked herself, "Don't you remember me?"

"Yeah from last night. You're the girl that said that you were my girlfriend."

Lily nodded.

"No offense red, but I don't see it. You are a bit pale, bright ass hair, and a bit thin." Lily gasped, James had never spoken so ill towards her.

"I guess," Lily said refusing to cry. "I heard you are dating Paris."

"Yeah, she came in today and damn she was hot!" Lily nodded again.

"Glad your happy James," Lily said getting up and getting ready to leave and she felt his hand grab her arm, instant butterflies in her stomach.

"You're leaving?"

"There's no point in me staying James. You don't remember us dating, you insult me, and you are now dating the school whore. You've completely thrown mud in my face and called me a hag. I need to go now."

"Miss…."

"It's Lily, but not that you would care." Lily said yanking her arm back and storming out of the Hospital Wing.

"I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," James said to the air. "Maybe I did find her attractive, that anger is like fire."

"Jamie!" Paris cooed walking in with a wide smile on her face, "What was that redhead doing in here."

"Saying I was her boyfriend."

"She's just brainwashing you," Paris said leaning in to give James a passionate kiss.

Lily was running through the school sobbing her eyes out and not caring who saw her and what they said about her. Then…she ran into someone and fell onto the ground that made her tears fall more.

"Here let me help you out," the man's voice said trying to help pick her up off the floor.

"No!" Lily cried dramatically lying face down on the floor, "Just let me die here!"

"Wow Lily, you've gotten a bit dramatic since the last time I saw you."

"What?" Lily asked turning over and seeing none other than Tyler Smith. "Tyler?" She whispered, "W…what are you doing here?"

"Looking for grandfather. I've been busy on work for The Order and I have some reports for him." He eyed her suspiciously, "Why are you crying through out the halls and not having the famous Hogwarts Quidditch star James Potter comfort you…that is as he is your boyfriend."

"Let me die!" Lily gasped throwing herself into Tyler's arms.

"Uh….what happened?"

Lily backed up as she tried to wipe away her tears, "Yesterday was Slytherin vs. Gryffindor Quidditch match and James fell off of his broom, a thirty foot fall."

"Ouch."

"Yeah, well he was unconscious for a while and he came to last night. He doesn't remember me, and doesn't believe that I'm his girlfriend. He said I a bit pale, got bright ass hair, and a bit skinny. He's never spoke to me like that. An..and he's now dating that whore P…P…Paris!"

"Lily it will be okay, when he gets his memory back…"

"He won't and it will be too late! He's with Paris and I'm all alone!"

"Lily you are being a little irrational."

"Tyler I cared for him!" The Lily did the unexpected, "Forget him! I made the wrong choice in the first place. Tyler kiss me."

"What?!" Tyler asked in complete shock, but he didn't have time to say anything else.

Lily threw her lips on top of Tyler's in which he melted.

Five feet away, standing there in awe was Sirius, Remus, Gabby, Cassidy, Amy, Peter, Alice, and Frank.

"What in the hell?!" Sirius asked looking at all the rest.

"I guess she heard about James and Paris," Alice said feeling very sorry for her very good friend.

"You've got to admit that Tyler isn't a bad thing to fall into," Gabby said licking her lips.

"Gabby?!" Remus looked at her in awe.

"What? He is a bit yummy.

"Yeah, but James doesn't even know what he's doing! He doesn't know to believe Paris or Lily!" Peter yelled at his friends in outrage that Lily would betray James like this.

"Well Lily probably feels that James has betrayed her, I know I would." Amy said nodding hear head.

"Potter is going to be furious about this when he finally wakes up and realizes he's lost Lily," Frank said wrapping his arm around Alice.

"What is she doing?!" Sarah said walking up to them and looking five feet in front of her to see Lily snogging with Tyler Smith.

"She found out about James and Paris," Cassidy said turning to Sarah.

"Oh my." Grace said walking up and grabbing Sarah's hand, "Lily's heartbroken by James and she's going for the first guy she runs into."

Sirius nodded, "Yup it's a rebound."

"Yes, but a very yummy rebound." Gabriella giggled and everyone looked at her oddly.

"What?!"
