The days that followed were some of the quietest Hogwarts had ever seen. Sirius, Remus and Peter kept to themselves, mostly sitting next to the unconscious James as much as possible. Their only happy thought was that the whole Slytherin team had gotten a week worth of detention, except for the two beaters, Raton and Cole. They had been set the task of cleaning the castle everyday from 5-8 pm for a month. Slytherin had also been stripped of 250 points. It was only because of this that the Slytherins did not walk around gloating.
Em was also in the hospital wing most of the time. She did her homework there, spent her breaks there, and only left when the clock read 7 pm. Lily was sleeping less now, and she had slowly begun to eat things like soup. Though Em could not detect a change in Lily's physique, she was still satisfied. She had become good friends with Sirius and Peter and was closer than ever with Remus, as there was nothing else to do in the hospital wing than talk to each other. Time passed very slowly.
Lily sometimes pretended to be asleep. Sometimes to let Em have a break from taking care of her when Madam Pomfrey wasn't, and sometimes Lily was tired of having to answer Em's endless questions about her health. The following Thursday was one of those days, where Lily was very tired of everything, so she faked sleeping. After a few minutes, she heard the scrape of Em's chair and footsteps leading away to her left.
"Any improvement?" she heard Em's voice say, weirdly saddened.
"No," came Remus' voice, just as sad. "What about Lily?"
"She's getting better, I think! I mean, she is eating a bowl of soup everyday now!"
"That's good."
"Yeah," said Sirius' voice, though he didn't sound as though he meant it very much.
"She's extremely pretty, you know. Or she was."
"I know..I'll tell her that when she wakes. Thanks Remus."
The conversation went on, but Lily wasn't listening. All she was thinking was "Silly girl. Stupid girl. Getting better? I am by no means getting better. I have always been the best, anyway. But, oh, if she only knew what I do when no ones around.if she only knew." And with that, she drifted off into a real sleep.
"Lily? Lily, wake up."
Lily turned over
"Lily, your lunch will be getting cold!"
Lily covered herself with her blanket.
"I'll slap you!"
Lily kicked out her feet, apparently hoping she might be able to kick a certain annoying person away.
SLAP!
"FINE!" Lily, yelled, throwing off her covers in a very tantrum-like way. "That wasn't funny!"
"You're wrong. It really was," laughed Em. The look on Lilys face was priceless.
"Hmpf."
"Oh, stop feeling so sorry for yourself! Here; here's your soup," and Em handed Lily her bowl of soup.
"You two be quiet!" shushed Madam Pomfrey, coming out of the supply closet with a needle containing a very suspicious green liquid in her hands. She strode purposefully towards James' bed. Sirius and Remus looked absolutely petrified.
"Oh, stop it you two! You're not the ones getting the injection!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed bending over James and injecting the needle into his pale arm.
"Why do you have to do that? He doesn't need it," barked Sirius, ready to charge at what he now considered the enemy. Remus grabbed his sleeve just in case.
"Perhaps you are blind, Mr. Black, but unlike the rest of us, you haven't seemed to noticed that your friend is dead to the world! In what I hope isn't a permanent state! I am merely trying to help him!"
Sirius looked as though he didn't agree with the helping part, but sat down reluctantly. Em giggled.
Even though all this drama seemed to have amused Em, Lily had gotten a bad headache. Her head began to spin and her eyes swam. Everything went black. She fainted.
Em looked down.
"Well, so much for lunch."
"Lily dear, here's your soup"
Lily cracked an eye open. Madam Pomfrey was standing beside her bed, holding a steaming bowl expectantly. Lily sat up and shook her head as though to make it hurt less. It didn't help. She weakly propped her pillow up against her bed. Madam Pomfrey handed her the soup. Lily took it with both her feeble hands and looked down into it. Vegetable soup. Again. Full of pieces of carrots, asparagus, and celery. Ha! Lily only ate the liquid. She saw to her amusement, that they had tried putting pieces of bread in it. They were obviously hoping she had changed overnight, and thought soggy bread and vegetables looked yummy. By "they", Lily guessed she meant the authorities at Hogwarts. But she was never quite sure. "They" just seemed the perfect people to blame everything on.
She finished her soup (leaving the bread and vegetables at the bottom) in an hour. She was very slow at eating, as it was a newly recovered routine. She put the bowl on her bedside table, stubbornly ignoring the pile of homework next to it. Who cared about homework?
After a few minutes of lying quietly, ignoring Madam Pomfreys pestering questions, Lily pretended to drop off to sleep. When she finally heard Madam Pomfrey final bids of goodnight to her and James (which was stupid, Lily thought, as James couldn't hear a thing, anyway) and her footsteps retreating into her private quarters, Lily opened her eyes. Waiting for a definite quiet from Madam Pomfreys room, Lily lay still. When the first sound of a snore was to be heard, Lily crawled out of bed, wand in her hand, and tip-toed to the bathroom door. She carefully opened and closed it, trying not to make a sound. Then she muttered the silencing charm, so no noise could be heard from the cubicle. The thought of what she was about to do still scared her, but she opened the toilet seat without hesitation. Lily closed her eyes and jabbed her finger down her throat.
The sensation came quickly. An uncomfortability that Lily would rather avoid. But Lily didn't have to think about that. She bent down towards the toilet as her stomach started churning. And then it all came. Lily only managed to suppress a sob as her stomach contents roared up her throat and out her mouth. All Lily was thinking about was what Em would do if she found out.
*********************************************************
(A/N: Kill her, probably..the future is NOT bright! Btw, SORRY ME CHAPPIES ARE SO SHORT!!!! I just write.uhm.short chapters, I guess.)Ok, well.there was the seventh chapter. I find it ok, but I should probably have used a bit more dialogue. Oh well. Oh, and Im wondering, is uncomfortability a word? Cuz the computer says it isn't. Well..if the computer is right, I'll just say I made up the noun form of uncomfortable. Like, Benji and Joel from Good Charlotte thought they had invented a guitar chord in high school, but it turned out it was one of the major chords which had been around since the guitar came to be (you know, the A, D, G kinda chord thing. I find that hilarious!!! Anyway, to my reviewers! I would never have gotten so far (uhmm.not that I am very far.like, my story is very short and all) without you!
