Chapter 5: Freedom

Lily and James got down to breakfast early the next morning. Lily always woke up early and plus since she was injured she had to go down earlier otherwise she would be greeted by a thousand of bustling Hogwarts students. Lily sat on the edge and James across from her. They ate in silence for the next couple of minutes. Lily took James's plate and staked it on hers. She took out her wand and made the dishes disappear. She looked up and smiled at James; James smiled back.

"Did we learn anything interesting in Potions yesterday?" Asked Lily. She knew that she would have to do Mr. Slughorn's homework or otherwise she would be taken out of the group that she found very highly to her.

"We learned how to make a illegal love potion?" Said James. Lily let out a low laugh; afraid to disturb the just arriving students.

"Typical." Said Lily under her breath. James let out a chuckle.

"We should get going, breakfast will be over soon." Said James standing and holding out Lily's crutches to her. Lily stuck them and smiled in thanks. James took his and Lily's books and headed toward Charms. On the way there they bummed into some people.

"Lily!" Said Michelle running to Lily and give her a hug around the neck.

"Your so lucky that James was there, that tree could have killed you." Said Michelle.

"I spoke to Dumbledore, he said that he would take in attempt to make the tree less active and dangerous." Said Maya. Remus smiled at her. Maya looked at him and blushes.

"Sorry Lily that I wasn't there for you, I just d-d-.." Said Dorcas. Lily cut her off.

"It's okay Dorcas, I heard that you were having trouble with your essay. I totally get it." Said Lily.

"We should have a girls night out in our room today." Said Michelle.

"Yea that would be like way cool." Said Sirius sticking out his hands like a girl, asking for her nails to be painted. Everyone began laughing.

"Sorry, guys can't I have a lot of work to catch up on, plus I don't get to sleep in the room anymore. I have to sleep in the perfects room till my leg gets better, with James, not Remus. Dumbledore changed everything." Said Lily

"Oh man." Said The three girls.

"Well we'll have it when you can sleep in the room again." Said Maya.

"Can we go to breakfast now." Asked Sirius. His stomach was grumbling. The girls moved on.

" Later." Said Lily over her shoulder. And heard the same response.

Later on in Charms class

"Mr. Potter could you please help Ms. Evans?" Asked Professor Pumblina. James looked over at Lily. Lily was frustrating so bad that her hair ends were sticking up. James took all the objects that she had around her and placed them on the other side.

"Relax." Said James.

"How can I relax. I don't understand this." Said Lily.

"Breathe."

Lily took a deep breathe.

"Now, take the cup and place it to the north, the feather to the south, the rock to the west, and the lizard eyes to the east." Lily did as she was told.

" Then point your want in the middle and say Compasso (A/N: Compass in Portuguese).

Lily did what she was told. And got all of the simple objects that you could find in a forest into a golden compass.

"Thanks." Said Lily.

"No problem, but you have to relax." Said James.

Lily nodded. Professor Pumblina came around, looking at everyone's work.

"Good, good, excellent James excellent, fantastic Lily." Said Professor. She went around the rest of the class and said what she thought. She then turned to the front.

"I would like all of you to right a paragraph not an essay, and tell me if you could find these things in a forest and were. Make your own forest in your amazing minds and explain it to me, use pictures and etc. Well that's all we have today. Now off to your next class, Lily and James stay behind please." Lily looked at James. James just shrugged.

"Please come here." Said the professor. Taking a seat behind her desk.

"As you may know, Lily you have been struggling and I find it the utmost important that you get your education to become your job, further there on I would like to appoint James your new tutor if that I alright with you James?" Asked Pumblina .James nodded.

"You may leave." Said Professor.

"ouch, that was a little harsh." Said Lily as they walked down the corridor.
