Chapter 7- Jade still hates odd numbers! And Sarah shouldn't write when she's watching The Simpsons!
James woke up about an hour after he fell asleep, and he lay in his bed watching Lily. She was flipping idly through some girly magazine and twirling a few strands of her hair around her finger. She looked so peaceful and pretty and James just wished he had a camera there to capture it.
Thinking of photos, he sat up and stretched, alerting Lily to his state of consciousness. She glanced at him for a second and then looked back at her magazine. Satisfied that he wouldn't shock her by being awake, he reached for his wand and summoned a scrapbook from beside his bed.
Lily gasped slightly as the worn out book flew past her head and she put the book down to stare at James.
James smiled to himself as the book flew into his hands, he'd gotten her attention with the book and hopefully she recognised it.
"Is, is that what I think it is?" she half whispered, her voice slightly hoarse from lack of talking.
James looked at her and smiled, patting the bed as if asking her to sit next to him.
Lily looked weary, but slowly stood up nonetheless and hobbled over to his bed. She perched on the edge of the bed as far away from him as possible, and looked over at the book.
James ran his hand down the cover, which was a patchwork of coloured paper with the words 'Friends Forever' in cut out letters. Lily bit her lip to hold back tears as she too reached out and stroked the aged cover.
James opened the book and closed his eyes; he didn't need to look at the page to know what it said: 'Lily Evans and James Potter. May our friendship never cease.' Reading over these words, the tears in Lily's eyes that had threatened to fall before were now well on their way to her chin.
"Do you want me to keep going?" whispered James, breaking the silence.
Lily gulped hard, and nodded. She knew what page was coming next.
**Flash Back**
"Come on James, write something pretty!" laughed a ten-year-old Lily, her red hair in pigtail-plaits.
"Nah, I cant!" said a small boy with messy black hair, his face was grubby and he pushed a large scrapbook back towards his best friend. "You go first, you're a great writer." He said.
"Fine!" she sighed, picking up the pen carefully. She began to write in her best handwriting under the heading in gold that said: 'Promises.'
"I, Lily Marie Evans" she said, as she wrote down the same words. "Do promise to always remember and care for my best friend James Potter, no matter where my life may take me. And I shall forever and always cherish the friendship we have and this book that symbolizes it." She carefully signed her name and handed the book towards James, before writing the same thing in her own scrapbook.
"Now you write something similar." She said, putting both books in front of James.
"Okay," he said, with the pen in his mouth.
"I, James Edward Potter," he wrote, and then paused, looking over what Lily had written. "Do promise to always remember and care for my best friend Lily Marie Evans, no matter where my life may take me. And I shall forever and always cherish the friendship we have and this book that symbolizes It." he signed it and then repeated it in the second book.
Lily picked up her book and looked over what James had written.
"Hey! You copied!" she cried, scandalized.
"Yeah," said James, looking down at his feet and blushing. "I thought it would be best if we wrote the same thing." He said quietly.
"Okay." said Lily smiling and grabbing the box of photos that sat beside her. "lets stick the photos in then!"
**End Flash Back**
Sniffing slightly she ran her hand down the page, along her ten-year-old self's handwriting. It looked so childish but she remembered thinking it was so important and official when she'd done it.
"We thought we'd never see each other remember?" said James, handing a tissue to the angel of his childhood.
"Thanks." She said, wiping her eyes. "Yeah, I'd just gotten my Hogwarts letter and I knew I couldn't tell you, I said my parents were moving me to a girls' boarding school, and you thought that was really funny coz your parents were moving you to a boys' boarding school. I was so scared you'd hate me if you knew I was a Witch, after my sister's reaction I didn't want to tell anyone!" said Lily, her mind back in a more peaceful time.
"Yeah, and I'd always known I was a wizard but never told you. I remember making sure every trace of magic was hidden every time you came over. It was lucky my parents had a lot of Muggle things too, or else you would have thought our house was very strange!" James laughed at his own childish naivete.
"Turn the page James," Lily said, looking away from him.
On the next page and all the pages after that were photos of the two of them in various stages of their childhood, and notes that they had written about those times.
They spent the few next hours looking through the photos in almost silence, laughing to themselves at their childish antics.
*****************************************************************
When Madam Pomfrey came around with lunch she saw two teary teens sitting on one bed looking through a very old looking scrapbook.
She split them up and sent Lily back to her own bed before supplying them with a lunch of toasted Cheese and ham sandwiches and large goblets of pumpkin juice, which they both ate heartily.
After tucking them into their beds and telling them to make sure they made the most of their rest as they would join the school again for dinner, she left the room to teach her 7th year Medic Class.
After the Medi-witch left the room, Lily sunk down into her pillows and summoned her own copy of the scrapbook. Flipping through the pages, and listening to the rhythm of James doing the same thing, her mind wandered back to the rabbit.
Had it just been an illusion? Or was James just trying to make her feel better? She had been sure she'd seen a bunny eating a dark red rose, but then she'd blacked out, maybe it was just a hallucination. She tried to keep her mind away from the thing that was worrying her most, but everything she thought of came back to it.
"Is James my true love? Am I going to lose him?"
