A/N: I got straight to writing this chapter for you guys since I love you all so much and here it is, hope you like it.

Chapter four, night in the hospital

Albus Dumbledore walked down a warm street somewhere in Surry. He walked down the sidewalk until he reached number ten. It was a simple white house with a white picket fence. Opening the little white gate he made his way to the front door and knocked. A minute or so later, Lily Evans answered it, wearing a red tank top and short shorts and her red hair tied up in a pony tail.

"Professor Dumbledore." Lily said shocked.

"Miss Evans, just the person I wanted to see." the Professor replied, "May I come in?" he asked.

"Oh yes, of course." Lily answered, still shocked. She moved aside for the professor to come in.

"Lily dear, who is here?" A female voice sounding just like Lily's called out from the other room.

"My Headmaster, mum." Lily answered no less shocked than before. A slightly older version of Lily walked into the room. The only main difference was the eyes. Instead of green they were blue.

"Why how lovely to meet you, Lily has told us so much about you." Mrs Evans said, smiling politely at him.

"Yes a pleasure meeting you as well." Albus replied, "Now you are both probably wondering what I am doing here so I will cut to the chase. Today I saw two of my grandchildren for the first time since they live in Australia. Their names are Harry and Hermione Potter. I would be very grateful if you would come and stay at my house for the rest of the summer. I would spend time with them myself but I am busy with running Hogwarts. I would also like Hermione to make one female friend before school starts and you would have a perfect influence on her." He explained.

"Of course I will Professor." Lily replied, "Just so I am not totally shocked when I get there, one question: When you say Potter, that isn't any relation to James is it?" Lily asked.

"Yes, they are James's cousins." He answered, "That won't be a problem will it?" He asked.

"No, if I can put up with the big headed git during the school year I can do it during summer as well." Lily answered, "No offence." She added.

"None taken, I am quite aware that my grandson's head is too big." Albus replied and chuckled. "I remember the first time Sirius stayed over, he tried to use a deflating charm on it." He added.

"But I thought we weren't allowed to do magic out of school?" Lily questioned.

"Potter Mansion can not be detected at all, that means magic used inside the grounds as well." Albus answered.

"Well Lily, go pack. You can take the triple choc cake with you." Mrs Evans said shooing Lily upstairs.

"Yes mum" Lily replied, disappearing upstairs then reappearing ten minutes later dressed and carrying her trunk. Her mother handed her the cake, which tasted like heaven.

"Ready to go?" Albus asked her.

"Yep." Lily answered. "See you next summer, Mum." Lily said hugging her mum.

"Bye Lily. Your father, Petunia and I will write." Mrs Evans said.

"Don't you mean you and dad will write and then sign Petunia's name at the bottom as well." Lily corrected.

"Yes. I guess your right" Mrs Evans admitted, "When you graduate make sure to invite all your friends over for dinner." she added smiling innocently.

"Oh I will." Lily replied, just as innocently. She turned towards her professor "I'm ready." she added.

"Yes I will just activate this portkey," He said taking out an empty can of diet coke. "Grab on and say Marauder mischief." Lily raised her eyebrows questioningly. Albus chuckled. "James, Sirius and Remus thought of it," He said, answering Lily's silent question.

"Marauder mischief!" They said and in a second they were gone.

Lily opened her eyes to see she was in a large pale blue entrance hall.

"Gramps you got to get your ass down to St Mungo's right now. Something has happened to Hermione and it ain't good" James's voice filled the whole house.

"Ok slight change of plans Lily you can either stay here or come with me to St Mungo's" Albus said going over to the fireplace, Lily following.

"I'll come with you" Lily replied. They flooed over to St Mungo's, quickly found out where Hermione was and went to her room to find two beds in there. One being Hermione's and the other James's.

"Hey gramps guess you heard my note then." James said.

"Yes I did, but it didn't say anything about you needing a bed." Albus answered.

"Yeah that sort of happened when we got here, he fainted." Remus explained.

"What, did his head finally decide it was too big even though it passed that ages ago?" Lily asked, stepping into view she noticed Hermione and fainted. (A/N: A lot of people will faint in this fic. Note to self: must receive help for making people faint addiction)

"Sirius, can you please go tell the healers another person fainted?" Albus asked, sitting down in one of the vacant chairs.

"Yes Professor." Sirius answered.

"So what exactly happened?" he asked Hermione.

"I went into an EIC." Hermione answered.

"And what pulled you out?" He asked.

"Harry saying he would kill himself if I didn't come back." Hermione answered.

"Yeah she said imitates Hermione's voice which also sounds a lot like Lily's (A/N: it runs in the family) Harry Potter if you even dare try and kill yourself I will hunt down your sorry ass goes back to own voice and Hermione is scary when she is pissed off." Harry added.

"So are you, you nearly gave the woman at the front desk a heart attack" Remus stated.

"Yeah I suppose I should go apologise." Harry admitted. Sirius walked back in, a healer following him. The healer lifted Lily up and put her on a bed, then wheeled it over next to James.

"You should both be lying down and resting." She scolded Hermione and James.

"Yes Ma'am" They replied, saluting the healer, then lay down in their beds. The healer shook her head laughing silently. Being the Potter's personal healer, she had got to know James well; being victim to a few of the Marauders pranks herself. There was the time during the first summer Sirius had stayed over at Potter Manor; James had walked in with a head the size of a pea. It seemed Sirius had wanted to deflate his ego so he went for the head, since the girl James had liked said he had a big head.

"Ah and what may I ask did you three do to this young lady?" the healer asked the Marauders, mostly James and Sirius.

"Jamesie do something to Lilykins, that's a crack up." Sirius replied laughing.

"Oh, so this is the famous Lily then." The healer said.

"I'm famous?" Lily asked groggily.

"You are to James." The healer answered. "Well my work here is done. We would like Miss Potter to stay over night though, just for observation." She added.

"Can I stay here as well?" James asked, "You know how much I love your food." He added. Sirius and Remus nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yes, yes. But I suppose that means I will have to put all three of you down for observation and the rest of you as guests." She answered. "Will you be staying as well Professor Dumbledore?" She asked while writing on three clipboards.

"No, I have dinner plans with Minerva." Albus answered. "And Lolly please call me Albus now that you are out of school." He added and bid farewell to them all, disaperating with a pop.

"Ok I am confused, why does James's cousin Looks just like me?" Lily asked no one in particular. Lolly left the room (A/N: if anyone is curious to whom she actually is. Her name is Lolly Smith and she is Molly Weasley's twin sister)

"We don't know that exactly. Maybe you have a clone running around in Australia making little baby Potters." Sirius answered.

"Ha, ha, ha Sirius very funny." Lily snapped. "Oh and by the way, I heard you call me Lilykins, so now you must pay." she added. Sirius yelped then ran out the room.

"Sorry if I made you faint before." Hermione apologised to Lily.

"Nah it was nothing, just a bit of a shock." Lily replied.

"So ah, something just occurred to me. If we are all staying, where are we going to sleep?" Harry asked them all.

"Well I don't care where I sleep as long as it is not with James or Sirius." Hermione answered.

"Yeah me too." Lily added.

"Why not us?" James and Sirius asked. Hermione and Lily raised their eyebrows questioningly at the pouting boys. "Ok we get it," They said, answering their own question.

"Well how bout this; Hermione and Lily in one bed, Harry and whoever in the next and then whoever and whoever in the other?" Remus asked.

"I bags Mooney." James called out. Harry, Hermione and Lily looked at him, confused. "What? Siri snores." James said.

"Oh great give me the dud." Harry joked.

"Of course dear cousin of mine." James replied.

"I'm hungry." Sirius moaned.

"Then go get some food from the cafeteria." Remus replied, "Can you get me some as well?" He asked and handed Sirius some money.

"Me too?" James added.

"And me some chocolate?" Lily begged.

"Oh yeah same with the chocolate please." Hermione pleaded.

"Okay but someone has to come with me so it can all be carried." Sirius answered.

"Harry." Everyone replied pointing at Harry.

"Why is everyone intent on keeping me around Sirius?" Harry asked. Everyone but Harry and Sirius found an amusing spot on the roof. Harry and Sirius walked out of the room and down the long corridor until the reached a lift and took it down to the cafeteria.

"Tell me about my life in the future?" Sirius asked Harry.

"Well let's see. You graduated from Hogwarts and no I do not know the answers to the N.E.W.T's. I don't know what job you get or where you live, but when dad and mum die you are accused of betraying them and telling Voldermort of their location. So you cornered the real betrayer in a packed muggle street. He does a curse killing thirteen people but to the people who saw it, it looked like you. The guy transforms into his animungs form, not before cutting his finger off, and escapes down the sewer. Landing you in Azkaban. After twelve years in the joint you escape. You make your way to Hogwarts knowing that I am there and that my best friend, Ron's, pet is the betrayer. Near the end of the year you manage to get Ron, Hermione and I down in the shrieking shack, where you tell us and Mooney what really happened. Everything was going great until Mooney transformed and the bastard escaped. Anyway you went into hiding, but at the end of mine and Hermione's fifth year your, cousin Bellatrix said a spell and you fell through the veil at the department of mysteries. A few weeks later she and the rat faced bastard killed Mooney because he wouldn't tell them where Hermione or I were." Harry explained only stopping to pick up a heap of chocolate and other stuff then pay for it, Sirius getting the drinks.

"Hang on. The traitor it was or is going to be Peter isn't it?" Sirius asked.

"Yes the evil bastard. He is the reason I always thought my twin was only my best friend, the reason my parents died, the reason you died and the reason Mooney died." Harry answered "You can not tell Hermione the last thing I just told you, she will blame herself because he was protecting us." He added worried.

"Don't worry I won't, but just let my guess, she liked him more than a friend right?" Sirius questioned.

"A lot more than a friend" Harry confirmed. They walked back to the room in silence. When they got their they found James and Lily arguing and Hermione and Remus snogging.

"We are gone for five friggen minutes and two are snogging while the other two are arguing!" Sirius exclaimed. That stopped Lily and James but not Hermione and Remus.

"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed. No response.

"Snape is out side doing the Hokey Pokey in a pink tutu," Sirius said. Still no response.

"CHOCOLATE!" Lily shouted. That got Hermione's attention. She pulled away from Remus looking around.

"Where, where?" Hermione asked. Harry passed Hermione the chocolate.

"So what is exactly going on in here?" Harry asked. Hermione and Remus blushed.

"Well umm... you see ah we started talking and then ah..." Remus started but was cut off by James.

"What Mooney means to say is the started talking about God knows what because they were talking in whispers and a couple of seconds later they just started snogging and then a couple of seconds after that, me and Lily started arguing about how romantic it was." James said answering Harry's question.

"Yep that sounds about right," Lily added, taking what ever was left of the chocolate and a bottle of pumpkin juice from Sirius.

"How did you know how to get her attention?" James asked.

"Oh that, that was easy. By the look when she said she wanted chocolate I knew she was an addict just like me (A/N: and me. One of my all time favourite lines is: I was going to start going to chocoholics anonymous, but on the brochure it said that they don't serve chocolate) and that is all that would get my attention at a time like that." Lily answered. James picked up a Twix.

"What would you do if one half of the last Twix was in my mouth?" James asked.

"Get it back," She answered innocently. James put half of the Twix in his mouth. Lily walked over to him putting her mouth right up to the chocolate, which was very close to James's lips. Lily opened her mouth to put it over the chocolate, which would in turn mean kissing James. At the last second Lily lifted her hand and snapped off the bit off chocolate that wasn't in his mouth. "You didn't think I was that easy did you?" Lily asked, smirking.

"A guy can dream can't he?" James asked.

"Yes as long as I'm not naked or wearing a pink thong." Lily answered.

"Too late." Sirius replied snickering. James paled.

"JAMES POTTER YOU DISGUSTING, PERVERTED, MALE, PIG. HOW DARE YOU, YOU BIGHEADED GIT. I HATE YOU!" Lily screamed and stormed out of the room. Hermione glared at James then Sirius. Hermione followed Lily down hallways until finally after ten minutes Lily stopped and slid down a wall. Hermione could see her puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks. Hermione ran over to her.

"Lilly what's wrong?" Hermione asked sitting down next to Lily and wrapping her arms around her.

"Don't hate him, I like him, I really like him." Lily answered sobbing into Hermione's shoulder.

"Then what's the problem?" Hermione asked.

"I don't want to end up like one of his many rumoured whores," Lily sobbed.

"Ok I haven't known my cousin for that long but I do have a twin brother who looks just like him. Lily I am going to tell you something that not even my grandfather knows. Harry and I didn't always know we were twins, it was actually quite a recent discovery, but we have been best friends for as long as we have known each other. Anywho in our fourth year at school Harry was competing in a very publicised inter schools tournament and this real bitch of a reporter twisted and manipulated everything that Harry said in the end there was a lot of rumours created but that's the thing the were only rumours."

"I can see that James really likes you, that look runs in the family. Harry had it with Cho. I had it with well never mind that. But the point of this is maybe they are just rumours." Hermione said.

"Yeah, you're right." Lily replied, getting up on her feet, Hermione doing the same. Lily yawned.

"Want to go back and go to bed?" Hermione asked Lily yawning.

"Yep lets go" Lily replied and they walked sleepily back to the hospital room to find the guys already asleep. Hermione and Lily stumbled over to their bed and fell asleep within seconds.

A/N: Wow 2836 words. But I made sure I got this done for you beautiful people. Especially my wonderful and talented beta Mel who should be allowed to eat as much caramel as she wants and not have to get braces.
