A/N: I re-wrote this chapter. Made some adjustments. Hope it's all right. The potions master...yea...I made him up. Nyah...sorry for any errors. - me

Lily walked alone through the halls of Hogwarts trying to keep the grin from off her face, and failing miserably. She had just gotten back from another check up and Pomfrey had said everything was still okay. Despite her initial fear of telling James, she was now excited. She was going to be a mommy. In the shadows, stood Narcissa Black. As Lily approached the corner where Narcissa was hiding, the blond stepped out, causing Lily to jump back. Instinctively, Lily placed one hand over her stomach as the other came out in front of her, as though trying to keep Narcissa at a distance.

"Oh, Narcissa. You scared me."

Narcissa smirked in a way that made Lily uncomfortable. She knew that Narcissa was cruel but there was something different in those cold blue eyes.

"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to scare you."

Lily raised an eyebrow, "Is that why you were lurking in the shadows?"

Narcissa chose to ignore the rise of anger in the redhead's voice. She began to walk around Lily, studying her. Lily eyed her carefully.

"How are you today?"

"I'm fine, thank you for asking. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to meet James."

Narcissa stopped in her tracks and Lily started walking away. As she got to the staircase, she was grabbed from behind and forcibly turned around.

"Let go of me, Narcissa."

The smile that spread across Narcissa's caused Lily to start to panic. She leaned forward until her mouth was next to Lily's ear.

"No one will believe you."

"What are you…NO!"

Before Lily could finish speaking, Narcissa shoved her back. Lily lost her balance and couldn't find anything to grip on to. She tried reaching for Narcissa but the blond stepped back.

Lily felt as though she was momentarily flying…until she hit the first step. When she first got to Hogwarts, she had a habit of counting stairs when she was nervous. She knew this staircase. There were 43 stairs…and she'd probably hit every other one. Lily tried to scream but it seemed Narcissa had thought this through; she had put a silencing charm on her. It felt like an eternity before Lily finally hit the bottom of the stairs. The pain was excruciating. Before she blacked out, she felt warmth begin to flow from between her legs. Her last memory was a prayer…she was praying that the warmth she felt was not blood. Though, in her heart, she knew it was.

James ran through the halls of Hogwarts towards the Hospital Wing. During his potions class, he had gotten an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of his stomach. Moments later, Dumbledore had rushed into the room and talked to Professor Frenzwillin. He whispered quickly and then both men turned and looked directly at him. It was then that James definitely knew something was wrong. He stood up and walked towards them. Frenzwillin only had to say one word.

"Lily."

As James turned to run out the door, he heard Dumbledore yell "Hospital Wing" behind him. He got to the hospital wing and rushed in, someone grabbed him by the upper arm and he turned his head.

"Mr. Potter, you can't see her right now. She is still being checked."

James had no idea how Dumbledore had beaten him there but he didn't really care. He slumped forward a little and Dumbledore let go.

"What happened, Professor?"

Dumbledore sighed, "As far as we can tell, she fell down the stairs."

James shook his head, "Then why can't I see her? She's just bruised, right?"

"No. There was a lot of blood. Madame Pomfrey is trying to figure out why she was bleeding."

Just then, Pomfrey opened the curtain.

"Professor, can you come here please?"

James moved to go but Dumbledore shook his head.

"No James. Let me go first. I'll come back to you."

Ten minutes later, as James was pacing back and forth, Dumbledore pulled back the curtain, closing it behind him. James stopped pacing and met the professor half way.

"What's wrong sir?"

"James, did you know that Lily was pregnant?"

The words hit him like a brick wall. Pregnant?

"What?"

Dumbledore waved his hand at the chairs next to the door. James sat down and gripped his hands to try and stop them from shaking.

"James, the reason why Lily was bleeding was because she miscarried. She was pregnant. Madame Pomfrey says she was about 5 weeks along."

Lily had been pregnant with their baby. James couldn't stop the tears that sprang to his eyes. Dumbledore put an arm around the younger man's shoulders and James quietly cried. Minutes passed and James finally stood up. He turned back to the professor.

"Can I see her?"

Dumbledore nodded.

Lily lay as quietly as possible in the bed. She could hear Dumbledore whispering but couldn't make out the words. Finally, she gave up trying to eavesdrop and turned onto her side. She had suffered a broken arm, four bruised ribs, cuts and bruises, and a miscarriage. She handled everything well…except for when Pomfrey told her that she had lost the baby. The curtain opened again and Lily expected to see Dumbledore again. Instead, James stood there. Lily could see the tears in his eyes. He stepped forward, closed the curtain and sat on the edge of her bed. James brushed her hair back from her face and she tried to smile.

"I love you, Lily Evans."

"I love you too, James Potter."

James kissed her cheek.

"Are you okay?"

Lily nodded, "I'm going to be fine. I just took a little tumble, that's all."

"You were never clumsy, Lily. What happened?"

Staring up at him...looking into his eyes that were filled with such love and concern...stopped her from lying to him.

"Narcissa pushed me."

James looked at her in disbelief. "What?"

"I really don't know why but she pushed me down the stairs."

James stood up, fury clear upon his face.

"She could have killed you!" He started pacing again and turned back to her, "That conniving, heartless, stupid…"

"James!" Lily tried to sit up; she gasped from the pain and gave up, lying back against her pillow. The anger that was on James' face only moments before was replaced once again by concern

"What's wrong? Do you want me to get Pomfrey?"

Lily shook her head, "I'm fine. James, I don't want to fight with Narcissa or any of the other Slytherin's for that matter. School is almost over. Lets just forget about it all."

James sighed and then sat back down, taking her hand in his. He looked back up at her.

"I don't like it but…okay."

"Okay? That's it? You're not going to fight me on this?"

James shook his head, "I want you to be happy Lily. And I don't want to see you hurt again. I'm not going to start something and risk losing you."

Lily put her other hand over his gripped it tight.

"You'll never lose me."

A/N: There IS a reason I made Lily pregnant. I want to establish an evilness in Narcissa ('cause I have a plan for her). Please bare with me.
