disclaimer: not mine

Jen opened the front door to Lily's house, it was seven o'clock in the morning, but she wanted to check on Lily before she went to work. She put her keys on the hall table.

"Lily? Are you here?" she called

No answer

"Lily?"
No answer. Jen panicked, she walked towards the bedroom. Lily wasn't there.

She frantically searched the rest of the house; she didn't find Lily. She came to the last room. The bathroom. She slowly pushed the door open; there she was. Lily, lying there unconscious on the cold tiled floor. There was crimson blood on the bath mat. She was dressed but her hair was still wet. For a minute Jen just stood there and looked at her, she was so frail and sickly.
"Oh my god Lily!" she shouted "Lily please wake up!" she checked her pulse, it was there, but it was very slow. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at Lily "Wingardium Leviosa." Lily's body floated up into the air, Jen guided it along the hallway back to her bedroom and slowly placed her on the bed.

"Wakiri Ospatish." She said, pointing her wand at Lily once again. Lily's eyes shot open. She looked left to right.

"How did I get in here?" she asked

"I think you collapsed in the bathroom. I levitated you and brought you in here. I didn't want to revive you with magic, because you know the side effects. But I had to, you wouldn't wake, I'm so glad that…"

"Jen, stop ranting." She whispered, "I want to sleep. Is James back yet?"

"No, he'll be home soon, and he'll bring you some medication." She reassured her. Jen wasn't actually sure whether James would be able to find a cure, but she knew he would do literally anything to save Lily. Before she left Lily alone, she took one last look at her. She was already asleep.

James braced himself for what was about to happen, he was very nervous.

He was going to meet his seventeen-year-old son for the first time. Snape walked up the stairs right behind him was a tall, thin teenager. He had jet black hair just like James, but his eyes were a brilliant emerald green, they were definitely the same as Lily's, he had round glasses covering them.

He looked up at Dumbledore, then he turned his head and his eyes met James'.

"Dad?"

"Harry?"

"Professor Dumbledore, is it really…" but he stopped when he saw Dumbledore nod. He ran to James and embraced him in a tight hug.

"How did you come back?"

"I came with a time turner, I'll explain it all later." James said, he wasn't sure how to act.

"But you only look about my age."

"I am eighteen."

"I can't believe it. Where's Mum?"

"In 1978. She couldn't come."

"Why are you here? How long for?"

"I'm here to get something, and I'm going home tomorrow." James said regretfully.

"Tomorrow? That's unfair, no you have to stay longer! Professor Dumbledore!" Harry said, hoping that Dumbledore could make him stay longer.

"Harry, your father must leave tomorrow, otherwise history could change, your mother needs him at this time." Dumbledore said kindly "But you have all the rest of the day to catch up with him, I will have the house-elves bring your dinner to your dorm at seven o'clock."

"But I have two more lessons."

"I'm sure you can have the rest of the day off, your friends can collect your homework for you."

"Thank-you so much sir." Harry said.

James and Harry spent the rest of the day talking; they spoke about Harry's life before Hogwarts, Harry's life at Hogwarts, James' life at Hogwarts and James' after Hogwarts.

Jamesdecided not to tell him about his mother's disease, he didn't want to upset him when they had so little time to get to know each other.

Lily slept for that entire day, after her passing out she was very tired, and she didn't feel as well as she had the previous day.

When she woke she felt very hungry, so she walked into her kitchen and crunched on an apple. She found a note from Sirius, which meant he had checked in on her, the note said:

Hey Lily,

It's 3:00pm, I'm going to go and do your grocery shopping, I should be back at five. Don't worry; James will be back soon. I hope you are feeling better; Jen called me and told me what happened. You know you aren't supposed to shower or do anything when one of us isn't here. At least you're okay. I left my owl at your house, she's probably on the couch, if anything happens she's going to come and find me or Jen.

From Sirius.

She smiled; he was very brotherly, it was a good idea of his to get his owl to do that. She couldn't wait until James arrived home. She tried to clean up the house a bit, but it was very hard, because of her illness, she got tired easily.
