Chapter 6 – Hey Homie! I see your doodle!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily's eyes fluttered open and she tried to focus on what it was exactly she was seeing. She was very groggy and found herself looking up into high ceiling rafters bathed in soft moonlight coming from the stained glass windows of the majestic looking hospital wing.
Gasping slightly, the events of the afternoon slowly came back to her. Remus...James...The omen.
She looked across to her left and saw the limp form of Remus Lupin sleeping in an armchair as he so often did. Lily looked then to her right and saw a dumb look on the face of James Potter who also appeared to be sleeping.
Soft, warm lamplight was coming from the clear window of Madame Pomfrey's station and Lily saw that she too had nodded off over her tapestry.
Lily decided she would test her legs, so she clumsily sat up her in the white cotton clad bed and fought the strong feeling of nausea overcoming her. Her warm foot finding the cold marble floor, she stepped out of bed and turned to her bedside table.
She reached out to bring the small clock on the table closer to her, but because her focus was groggy and the night dark, she instead knocked her empty fruit bowl to the ground.
"Shit!" she whispered as she heard a soft moan emit from Remus' awakening from. She panicked and looked over to where James lay and was relieved to find him still sleeping.
"Lily?" called Remus drowsily. Lily shuddered at the sound of his voice, and turned slowly towards him.
"How are you feeling?" He asked. Taking her arm in his hand and staring penetratively into her eyes. "You shouldn't be out of bed. James gave you quite a shock..."
"James didn't do anything. He doesn't scare me." Lily said defiantly before sitting back down on the bed and recomposing herself.
"Well something must have scared you for you to react the way you did..." Surmised Lupin. Lily rolled her eyes as she suddenly grew very embarrassed.
"If you must know, I...I saw a rabbit. It was eating a rose." Muttered Lily, who began to blush profusely.
"Um, is that a joke?" Asked Remus. He wondered if Lily had hit her head in the fall...
"No. I read a book about death omens during the summer and one of the very rare ones was to see a rabbit eating a rose. However, there are certain exceptions. For example if the rabbit is eating a yellow rose, that means good luck. But if found eating a read rose, that means your lover will die..." Said Lily quite coherently. She knew how insane she sounded but was determined to remain dignified through the whole shameful experience.
There came a chuckle from the entrance to the ward, and both Lily and Remus jerked their heads around to look at the owner of the familiar laugh.
Sirius black was standing there holding a tray filled with apples, chocolate and (now readily available) poptarts; He had heard Lily describe her ordeal.
"You are batty, you know that Lils?" He said gleefully before shoving the tray onto the bedside table and plopping himself onto the end of Lily's bed, making her jump.
"For your information Sirius, if you had read the full context in which that death omen was explained, you would have had a very similar reaction. Not to mention display your great ability to scream just like a girl." Said Lily with a smirk.
Sirius gave Lily a cold look before ignoring her and turning to Remus.
"Well aren't you just the devoted fan, Moony." Said Sirius slyly. "Been here all night?"
"It doesn't hurt one of us to care about our best friends." Said Remus offhandedly.
"Hey, I brought food didn't I? And there appears to only be one conscious friend. So I really didn't feel needed." Smiled Sirius warmly as he cast an amused glance at his sleeping friend and threw Remus a slab of chocolate.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Madame Pomfrey was fuming when she woke up the following morning to find Remus Lupin asleep in an armchair and Sirius Black sprawled over the floor in a blanket; his face covered in jam filling and a silly grin plastered on his face.
Torn between punishing the evil and waking the ill, she bustled off in a huff to fetch her pokin' stick. That would be good enough compensation for not being able to scream at the offending characters.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After a good old poke, Sirius and Remus had been shooed out of the Hospital wing with a detention on Saturday night.
The boys made their way to Gryffindor tower to get ready for their sleepy day to come.
A very irritable Madame Pomfrey had served Lily and James a breakfast of toast and marmalade before telling them they were to spend the day incapacitated, at least while she was observing them.
The night before she had healed James' ankle and issued him with a sleeping potion after he had woken up long enough to teach Madam Pomfrey some words she had not quite wanted to learn.
There was stiff feeling in the air as the two Gryffindors ate their breakfast silently.
Almost keeling over from the awkwardness of the situation, Lily turned her head to the side wishing she was anywhere else. She almost found herself wishing he would say something to break the monotony.
It was almost midday before James finally spoke; "Can you pass me an apple please, Lily?" He asked timidly.
"Sure," She said awkwardly, and passed him a shiny red apple. She knew he loved them when he was depressed. "Sirius came to see us during the night. You were still asleep when Pomfrey brought out her pokin' stick."
"Sorry about yesterday." Said James. Feeling more confident now. "We were both running pretty blindly."
"Yeah." Said Lily, smiling softly. "I felt rather seblanriet even before I saw a death omen." She finished glumly.
"I'm sure it wasn't a death omen. It was pretty dark, it could have been anything." Said James reassuringly.
"It was two in the afternoon, James." Lily informed him. James shuddered involuntarily at the sound of his name coming from her lips.
Recovering quickly, James shrugged and said "It could have been during one of those eclipse things." James squinted at his own stupidity and scratched his head as he wondered whether he had been brain damaged during the attack.
"There was no attack James." He told himself solemnly, making Lily screw up her nose in confusion. James shook his head and said blankly, "I think I'll have a little lie down before breakfast." And he plopped his head back down on his pillow and fell asleep almost instantaneously.
Lily squinted and tried to make sense of what James had been babbling incoherently about. Failing, she sighed and summoned one of her crap magazines from her dorm to read until Madame Pomfrey came around with the lunch trolley.
