Time Heals Everything: Chapter 2
James watched Lily sleep. He didn't think that she had been seriously ill enough to take to the hospital wing, so he had simply carried her to her room, laid her down, and watched her sleep.
She stirred. Luckily, she didn't wake up. It was a good thing because it gave him time to think and process his thoughts. The letters had been the same and had said that Lily and James would have to go to the Leaky Cauldron and stay there from December to March. Right now it was mid-November, and Dumbledore had informed them that they would get to skip Hogwarts and he thought it was best to inform them a while before they left. However, that wasn't the part that had made Lily pass out. The letter had also said that Dumbledore was very sorry but he couldn't find two separate rooms available and there was only 1 left. So, they would have to share a room for 4 months. Its not like they hadn't lived together before. Their Heads' room was similar. Well, to him anyway.
Dumbledore had also added that The Leaky Cauldron was the only place he trusted with two of his students. So, they couldn't go anywhere else either. Lily had fainted right away at the sight of the words I'm very sorry but you and Mr. Potter will have to share a room together. There is nothing we can do about it, and we are all very sorry. Please handle the situation in a dignified manner. Thank You.
Lily awoke to the sound of soft knocking at the door. A moment later, it was followed by sharper faster knocking, that Lily could've sworn belonged to a different person. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about it. James was opening the door now, and four people walked in. Lily couldn't make out the faces, but she could tell there was two girls and two guys. She made out the voices to be Sirius, Remus, Meg, and Sara. What were Sara and Meg doing here? And why were Sirius and Remus walking over to her instead of going to James' room? She tried to get out of bed, but suddenly everything was black.
She heard voices. Three male, and two female. She faked being asleep, so she could hear some of their conversation.
"Prongs, what was it that you said that made her faint?" it was Sirius.
"Now Padfoot, give James his time." Remus, it had to be.
Her two friends didn't say anything to the guys, but stood by the door, having their own private conversation in whispered voices. Lily decided that it was time to wake up, and blinked her eyes as a sign.
"Moony, Padfoot, girls, its Lily!! She's awake!!"
