Chapter 9 – leaving for the hospital and meeting Mr. Right?
Lily and James both arrived at their new dormitory at the same time. Lily brought all her stuff but was only leaving some of it there. She was taking her muggle clothing with her to the hospital since she would be "living" there for the next few weeks.
Lily had told Michelle and Becka after she broke the news to James at lunch. It had made them cry also, but they promised to visit her every Saturday. James had promised to visit also. Little did she know that he was also going to write to her in the muggle way, since it would be quite odd if an owl showed up at the hospital for her.
Lily had also told Michelle and Becka the password for her room so that they could hang out in it while she was gone if she wanted.
As lily and James walked into their "common room," lily's jaw dropped; the room was beautiful. It had huge windows that reached all the way from the ground to the ceiling. There were dark royal red curtains with gold at the bottom edge draped over the window. There was a pretty fireplace, which already had a fire lit in it. There was a pretty oak table in the center of the room. In the center of the table, there was a pretty little bowl full of sweets. There were four chairs that matched the curtains; they were dark royal red and had small silky gold pillows on them. There was also a loveseat that matched the chairs exactly. The floor was a beautiful, shiny wood and there was a pretty red rug under the table that had gold designs in it and the Gryffindor symbol right at the center.
"It just so...wow...amazing," Lily said in awe of the beautiful sight, as she looked around at everything. Then she burst into tears.
James was completely confused, but he put his things down and pulled lily into a hug, "Lils what is wrong?"
"I was just thinking that I won't be able to make memories here in this room until a month later..." Lily said as tears felt down her cheeks, onto James' chest, soaking up in his robes and making him wet.
"Oh lily don't worry, you can still make lots of memories when you come back. It is only the second day of school. You still have plenty of time," James said drawing designs on lily's back with the hand that wasn't around her waist.
"Oh James..." Lily said as she pulled away and wiped the tears off her face, "I am sorry that I am so emotional."
"It is ok lils. Come on I will help you put your things away," James said, as he levitated lily's luggage.
Lily walked over to the door that said head girl above it. "Head boy is an arrogant prat," Lily said and then realized that James was behind her.
The door swung open and lily turned around before walking in, "Sorry about the password James. I will get it changed as soon as I return."
"It's ok lils," James said trying to hide his hurt.
Lily turned back around and walked into her new room. Once again her jaw dropped at an amazing sight. "I love it!" Lily exclaimed.
The room had one large window that had curtains identical to the ones in the common room. There was a beautiful set of drawers for her to put her belongings in. She had a pretty desk to write letters on. The desk had plenty of parchment and quills for her. Against one wall she had a large canopy bed. It had velvet red and gold pillows and a beautiful red velvet blanket with a gold border. The bed had semi see-through cloth that draped down in each corner and could be pulled across to hide the bed behind the curtains. On the head post of the bed there was a name carved in it: Lily Marie Evans. There was a small table next the bed where she Dumbledore had left empty picture frames for her to put pictures of her family in.
"Wow lily, this is really nice. I can't wait to see my room," James said getting excited. "Padfoot is going to be so –"
James was cut off by lily grabbing him and pulling him into a passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around James' neck and made the kiss deeper. Lily felt James' arms wrap around her waist and pull her in closer to him. Lily heard all her luggage fall to the ground, but that could be dealt with later. Then James did something that completely surprised lily; he started tickling her.
"I dare say myself that Ms. Evans had a thing for me," James said as a huge grin spread across his face and he continued to tickle her.
"I do not James Potter!" Lily said between giggles.
"Is this denial I am hearing from head girl?" James asked raising an eyebrow at lily as he stopped tickling lily and laid down on the floor and started laughing himself. Lily looked really adorable when she laughed.
"James Potter you really are something," Lily said as she gasped for breath from laughing so hard.
"I know," James said with a twinkle in his eyes as he rolled over to face lily.
"You want to kiss me don't you?" Lily teased.
James stuck out his bottom lip and attempted a pout, "Please?"
Lily answered by pulling him into another kiss. James just loved how he felt when he was around lily, but the special moment was soon interrupted.
"Bloody Hell, Prongs, get a room!" Sirius said from the doorway.
"Sirius, if you were too stupid to notice, we actually are in a room, my bedroom in fact. You're the one who walked in on us," Lily said trying to cover up how embarrassed to have Sirius find her snogging James on the floor of her own bedroom after the whole note passing in transfiguration.
"She has a point there, Padfoot," James said as he blushed. "Oh and thanks a lot for ruining the moment," James said sarcastically.
"Anyway James, the point is you can't have lily all to yourself on her last night here for a month," Michelle said as she popped up behind Sirius with bags full of goodies.
"Wow lils, this is a nice room," commented Becka as she appeared in the doorway.
"Well don't lay there all day Ms. And Mr. Potter. We have a party to get started," Sirius announced, which got him a glare from lily and a grin from James.
"We are not married you stupid git," Lily said jumping up off the ground and smacking Sirius across the face.
"Control the anger," Sirius said, as the cheek where he had been slapped turned red from the hit.
James got off the ground and walked back into his and lily's common room to find Remus sitting in an armchair.
"Are they all finished?" Remus asked Sirius, getting himself a slap from James and another one from lily.
"And I thought opposites attracted. Children, violence is not the answer!" Sirius said pretending to preach.
"Oh and like words are?" James said.
Lily then smacking James, "Violence is not a good way to solve things James, words are."
"Then why do you keep smacking me?" James asked.
"Because it is the only way to get you to listen, Prongs," Sirius informed James, which got him a punch in the arm from James.
"God damnit people," Becka said and everyone started laughing.
The party went on for about 1 hour and then Sirius, Remus, Becka and Michelle all left lily and James to go to bed and clean up the mess. Or at least that is what they thought lily and James were going to do. Lily and James quickly tidied the room with magic and then snuggled up on the couch next to each other and fell asleep.
-----------------------------------------
Lily awoke to a tapping on the common room door. She opened her eyes and quickly slid out of James' arms. She was still wearing her robes from yesterday so she quickly went her room and changed into a bright yellow tank top and some baggy blue jeans with a hole in one of the knees.
"Bye James," Lily whispered into James' ear right before she grabbed her luggage and opened the door to find Dumbledore and McGonagall waiting for her.
"Lily, we shall miss you. You can aparate to the train station and we had your parents get you a taxi to take you to the hospital," Dumbledore said and gave lily a small hug and then McGonagall pulled lily into a hug as well.
"I hope to be back soon Professor and headmaster," Lily said and then waved goodbye and aparated from Hogwarts to the train station.
Sure enough, there was a taxi waiting for her. She got in and the taxi pulled away. Soon enough she was standing in front of the hospital.
-------------------------------------------------
"Name please," said the secretary at the desk.
"Lily Marie Evans," Lily replied as she took in her surroundings.
The secretary's name was Jocelyn Smith, or at least that is what her name badge said. Lily watched Jocelyn type away at the computer and then got lost in thoughts of James and the fast movement of Jocelyn's fingers over the keys.
When Jocelyn finally spoke, "You are down that hallway to the left," Jocelyn pointed to a hallway, "Take the elevator on your right and go to floor three. Then down another hallway to the right and you should see a sign that says 'Teen Psychology' or at least something along those lines," Lily jumped at the sound of her voice. Lily had been so far off in her own little world that she had left everything else behind.
"Yes ma'am. Thank you," said lily and then left off down the hallway that Jocelyn had pointed to.
-----------------------------------------------------
Lily had to ask quite a few people for directions, but she finally found her destination. She walked in and waiting at the front desk until the secretary looked up. She was quite a large woman. She had a huge crooked nose and thin, red hair that looked like it was going to fall off her head soon. The lady had an ugly frown on her face and a look of disgust as she saw lily. Her nametag read Bernice.
"You must be Lillian. You're late, follow me," and with that Bernice came around the desk, grabbed lily's belongings and walked off down a hallway. Lily followed obediently.
Finally the pair stopped at a room. They walked inside and there were already two girls there. One bed was still empty out of the four. It was lily's. Bernice put down lily's stuff and motioned to the two girls, "That is Sasha and that is Melanie. Diana is in the bathroom." Bernice then left the girls to themselves.
Sasha had beautiful chocolate colored skin, with a pinkish tint to them. It must have been makeup because Sasha looked like a girl that no one could make blush. She had dark brown eyes that looked almost black. They had an empty look to them, like life was no longer there. Her hair was jet black and done up in all braids. Sasha was wearing a black sweater and dark blue jeans. Even though the clothing was so loose, Lily could tell that Sasha was about the boniest girl Lily had even seen. It seemed to her that there was only a small layer of skin covering her whole body.
Melanie was African American also. She had lighter skin than Sasha. She had the same dark eyes as Sasha, but Melanie's were full of life and love. She had thick full lashes and she looked a bit shy. Her hair was brown and full of blonde streaks. Her hair was dead straight and just left flowing down her back. She was wearing a tie die t-shirt that was quite pretty and showed off her lovely figure. Then lily noticed that Melanie's arms were covered in scars. Melanie had on a pair of blue, worn sweats.
"Hi, I am Lily Evans," Lily said shyly and made her way over to the empty bed against the wall.
"Sasha Johnson, as you know," Sasha said.
"Melanie Jordan," Melanie said as she looked down at her bed.
Just then another girl entered. It must be Diana. "Who is she?" the girl asked and pointed at lily.
"I am lily," Lily said and looked over at the girl.
"Oh, you're the new girl. I am Diana White, a pure psycho as you know it," Diana said.
Diana was white and had the pale skin. She had jet-black hair with lightning blue and crayon red streaks. Her hair was cut quite short, just like Michelle's. She had amazing blue eyes that matched her blue streaks perfectly. She was quite pretty Lily had to admit. She had red mascara on that matched her red streaks. She had black lipstick on that made her skin look even whiter. She was wearing a dark tank top with the words 'Comfort the disturbed, disturb the comfortable,' written across it. She was wearing huge black pants that did everything put cling to the girl's legs. Diana was quite a sight to look at.
"Come on you guys, Sarah wants us all in the 'therapy circle'," Diana said, rolling her eyes when she said the words therapy circle.
---------------------------------------------
(In the therapy circle)
Sarah was one of the counselors at the hospital. "Ok now you all know what we do when someone new comes. Who would like to start?" Sarah said.
There were 12 teens, including Lily.
"I'll start," said Diana, "I am Diana White. I am 15. I am here for bipolar disorder, self-harm, anxiety and family problems. One rule here is no sharing anything, except thoughts and feelings."
"Left or right?" said the guy to the right of Diana.
"Right," Diana said.
"I am Josh Madison," said the guy, "But you can call me Mr. Right. I am 18. I am here for anger management and a mild case of depression. One rule here is confidentiality; what is said in here stays, unless one of us threatens to hurt ourselves or someone else, then the adults tell our parents or guardians."
Josh was quite cute. He had shaggy brown hair that fell over his blue eyes. He had really pretty, full lips that lily couldn't help but stare at and then blush when she realized she was doing it.
The boy sitting next to Josh went next, "Hey, I'm Brendan Seeler. I am 18 also. I am here for anger management and OCD. One rule is watching your language. You can only curse in this group, but you can't curse at anyone else."
Brendan was kind of cute also. He had blonde hair and looked like a surfer. He had brown eyes and a really cute smile.
Next went a girl, "Hi, I am Brittany Jade. I am 17. I am here for bulimia and depression. One rule is respect. Don't interrupt people, no sleeping, no side conversations an no putting down what other people say."
Brittany was very pretty. She had long, straight blonde hair with light brown streaks. She had big green eyes. She had a nice smile also. Brittany and Brendan kept smiling at each other, lily noticed.
Next it was Sasha's turn, "God she already knows me do I really have to go?" Sasha asked obviously annoyed with everybody and everything.
"Yes," Sarah simply said.
"Sasha Johnson, one rule is no touching. Did you hear that Brittany and Brendan?" Sasha asked and made everyone laugh. "Oh and I am 18 and I am here for anorexia and anxiety."
It was another guys turn now, "I am Drake Spence. I am 19. I am here for depression and family problems. One rule is if you need space, take it."
Drake had short, spiky, black hair. He had amazing green eyes. He didn't smile though. Lily thought he looked very evil. She shuddered as she looked at him. He noticed he shuddering and looking at him so he raised an eyebrow and laughed at her.
The girl next to Drake started speaking, "Tiffany Wilson, 16, one rule is guys are not allowed in the girls' rooms and girls and not allowed in the guys' rooms. I am here for bipolar disorder and anxiety."
Tiffany had brown curly hair. It was a little longer than shoulder length and had a few natural blonde streaks. She had really pretty light brown eyes that matched her hair.
Next was Melanie, "I am Melanie Jordan. I am 16 and here for anxiety and self-harm. One rule is no talking about anyone who isn't here."
Now it was Lily's turn. Just when lily was about to start, Sarah said, "You get what we are doing, right?"
"Yes. I am Lily Evans. I am 17. I am here for mild depression. I don't know the rules yet," Lily said.
Next went the guy next to Lily, "I am Raymond Slater. I am 17. I am here for OCD and anger management. One rule is if you want to talk about something, but don't feel comfortable bringing it up then tell a staff member and they will bring it up for you."
Raymond wasn't very good looking. He was a little bit plump and had really bad acne. He had greasy looking hair and dark brown eyes.
"I am Trish Jackson. I am 16. I am here for self-harm and anxiety. One rule is no threats." Said the girl next to Raymond.
Trish was a quite small girl. She had curly blonde hair with faded red streaks in it. She had pretty green eyes and a small smile on her face.
It was now the last girl's turn, "I am Shannon Miller. I am 17. I am here for mild depression and anxiety. One rule is no weapons, alcohol or drugs allowed."
Shannon had red hair with small waves in it. She had light brown eyes and caramel skin. She had a really nice smile and looked friendly.
"Now for group. What would you guys like to talk about today?" Sarah asked after Shannon had finished.
----------------------------------------------------------
Lily was so exhausted from the day that she fell asleep right away after everyone was dismissed to his or her rooms. Lily drifted off to sleep, but instead of thinking about James Potter back at Hogwarts, her mind was on Josh Madison.
