Lily woke up feeling very soar. Half her body was extremely cold and she was lying on something hard. That was probably why it hurt so much. She hadn\'t registered it -maybe in denial, no one knows- but lying down on any surface seemed to become more and more uncomfortable. As the only one, she hadn\'t realized it was because her bones were jutting out of every part of her body.
She pulled herself off the floor, which she had finally placed as marble, and looked around. Em was lying a few meters away; her limbs sprawled randomly on around the place. Finally, Lily remembered what had happened last night. Not understanding, or not wanting to understand, she forced herself not to think about it...it was all so confusing. Why had she been crying? And then laughing? No, just don't think about it, her inner voice said. She used her arms to exhaustedly pull herself over to Em, and shake her awake.
"Em," she whispered. "Em. Wake up. I think we might have missed Arithmancy." Em just turned over and kept sleeping.
"Em.!" Lily whispered, desperately. Em's eyelids fluttered. She must have realized where she was lying, because she soon shot up like someone had bit her or something.
"Oh my God, Lily, where.?" She panicked. "We missed Arithmancy? You sure? Oh my God, Professor Vector is going to be really mad Lils! We better get going!" She pulled Lily to her feet. She couldn't help notice how very skinny and frail Lily's arm seemed.
They rushed out of the bathroom to a fully active corridor. They received some weird looks from some of the Gryffindors who had noticed they hadn't been up in the tower last night.
"Shit." Em muttered under her breath. Arithmancy was on of her favorite subjects, but the Professor Vector usually wasn't very merciful. She led the already exhausted Lily to the Great Hall. It was empty. Ems' stomach grumbled, though not as loud as Lilys. Lily tried to hide it, but it wouldn't work. Was she really hungry? No, she decided. She wasn't. But it was obvious that Em was. She had started to run up to the Gryffindor common room, knowing that she had a snack bar somewhere on her bed table. Lily didn't follow her, for once. She went to her next class. Divination.
As she walked up the stairs toward the North Tower, her mind was blank. But it was still buzzing. A very weird sensation, Lily thought. Not really pleasant, but not unpleasant either. Just extremely frustrating. As she was pondering over this, she heard someone come sprinting up the stairs behind her. It was Em.
"Hey, Lils wait up!" she panted. "I brought your books. You didn't come to get them." She handed Lily her books as she caught up.
"Thanks." As Lily caught the heavy books in her arms, her knees crumpled the slightest bit. Em looked at her worriedly.
"Are you ok?" she asked.
"Yeah," Lily whispered weakly. Em wasn't convinced. She kept a look on Lily as they went up the rest of the stairs.
They could soon smell the heavy smell of her classroom, and Lily started to feel very faint. As they crawled into the room, Lilys head started to spin. Her whole body lost all of its strength. The feeling was increased by the thick aroma that hung heavily in the air. She collapsed.
Em heard a thump from behind her. She turned around.
"LILY!" she screamed. "LILY! GET UP! GET UP! Please, just get up!!" She threw her books aside, and fell to her knees. Tears were welling up in her eyes, as other pupils started to crowd around them. She didn't notice. Lily was all that mattered.
"Lily. Please. Wake up. Please." Her voice was nothing but a whisper, and tears were rolling down her cheeks violently. She started panicking. She grabbed Lilys' shoulders, and shook her as hard as possible. Lilys head banged against the floor. The students started realizing that this might not be very good for Lily at the moment, and pried Emilie off her.
Remus, who was in the same Divination class, looked down at Lily. Strange. Why hadn't he realized it before? She was too thin. Way too thin. Anorexic. No. Lily? Anorexic? No way. Trying to deny this terrifying truth, he picked up the extremely light Lily, letting her knees rest over his left arm and her back over his right. He walked slowly over to the trapdoor in the floor, his goal this Hospital Wing. Em, who had seen Remus handle Lily, calmed down. The 5 students who had been holding her let go. They allowed her to follow Remus. She was almost in a trance, but she knew where Remus was heading.
When they reached the door of the Hospital Wing, Remus knocked, as the gentleman he was. His face was tremendously calm, while Ems was confused; looking like her brain was trying to process what exactly was happening. Remus pushed open the door with his body, and walked quietly in. Em followed. Madam Pomfrey first noticed Remus, and her face was confused. Then she noticed who was in Remus' arms. She immediately became white. Was that her Lily, lying there? All frail and white?
"We need help, Madam Pomfrey," Remus said, his voice still calm. "I think Lily might be dying."
