The New Girl

Chapter 8

As Emily she entered the hospital wing and approached the bed where Lily was sleeping, well it seemed she was having more of a nightmare.

Lily was turning over a lot in her bed and had a look of extreme pain and horror.

Emily decided to try and wake Lily up.

"Lily," she said, "Lily it's Emily. Wake up, you're having a bad dream."

Lily didn't seem to hear her, and began to toss and turn more roughly, and began to mumble some things.

"No... leave them alone.... please leave them be....NO! Remus! Sirius! No....please stop.... don't harm anyone else please.... NO! Emily...please leave her out of this.... no....She's gone...gone..."

Lily's voice faded and looked over to the nurse and headmaster, asking them silently what she should do.

She was just about to try and wake her up again when-

"NO! JAMES!" Lily yelled.

Lily screamed and sat up, suddenly awake.

She didn't seem to notice the three people next to her bed and began rocking her self back and forth.

And when Emily tried to comfort her Lily flinched and whimpered.

"Lily!"

They all turned to see James coming towards them.


When James had heard Lily scream out his name he bolted into the Hospital wing.

When he saw Lily there in her bed rocking herself back and forth sobbing, he rushed over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

Lily tried to push him away at first but when she look up and saw who it was she broke down into his arms.

He looked surprised at first but soon sat down behind her and brought her into his lap and began rocking her back and forth whispering words of comfort, as if she was a scared child.

Soon Lily calmed down and fell asleep. James saw that the headmaster, Emily and Mme Pomfrey had left the room.

James then glanced down at Lily and smiled.

She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping and saw a small smile appear on her lips as well and blushed as she cuddled into his arms.

James sat there for a while just rocking Lily and glancing down at her every once and a while.


It soon began to get light out and Mme Pomfrey came out of her office a little while later to check on Lily and she noted that all her wounds had healed except for a few bruises.

James was glad it was Sunday and he wouldn't have to worry about classes in a few hours.

At around seven o'clock, the nurse said she was going to let the others come in and see Lily because they were getting anxious.

James nodded and slowly lay Lily down on the bed but did not leave her side and put her hand in his.

When the others came in and saw James holding Lily's hand, they smirked and teased James a little.

"Oh James likes Lily." Sirius said an annoying singsong voice.

James just smiled and said nothing.

He had realized something the night before when he had been comforting Lily.

'Oh dear, I think I've just fallen for Lily Evans.'

He thought and found himself smiling again.

Emily smiled and squealed when she saw his smile.

"Oh look at his face! He DOES like her!"

James blushed as Sirius, Remus and Peter looked over at James and saw his goofy smile and began to laugh.

"Mother of Merlin! He's got it BAD!" said Remus laughing again.


After everyone saw that Lily was ok, James suggested they go upstairs to sleep for a couple of hours and then come back and check in on her later.

Of course James wasn't putting himself into the suggestion and never left Lily's side.

After the others had left he glanced down at Lily and wondered how or if he was going to tell Lily of his feelings for her.

On the one hand if he told her and she liked him back it would be fine.

But on the other hand she might not like him and it might ruin their friendship for the rest of their lives.

He sighed and found himself falling asleep next to Lily's bed.


A few hours later Lily woke up to the sun shining on her face.

She blinked and looked around.

She saw that she was in the hospital wing and wondered why she was there when all the memories came back to her.

And she flinched when some of the pain came back.

She saw that Mme Pomfrey had healed all her cuts but there were still some bruise and if she moved the wrong way it hurt.

Then she noticed someone was holding her hand.

She turned and saw James, sleeping with his head lying on the bed.

Lily smiled, James looked so cute with his bangs slightly over his face and that small smile he seemed to always have on his face asleep or awake.

Then Lily remembered the nightmare she had had last night and shuddered.

She had had a dream that Voldemort, an evil wizard that was rising to power, had captured her and her friends, and when Lily had refused to tell him anything (she didn't know what she had to tell him at the time, but she knew she wouldn't tell him) he had killed her friends one by one.

Then she remembered waking up and feeling so alone, but then James had come and comforted her, and suddenly in his embrace she knew that she would be all right because James was there.

She also realized something else.

She had fallen for James Potter.
