Chapter 6- Speaking with Gabriel

Lily woke up in extreme pain she couldn't remember why she felt this way. She forced herself to stand up. She looked around the hospital wing and saw Gabriel.Why was he still at Hogwarts when Renee is at Drumstrang

"Lily are you awake?" She faintly heard from Gabriel.

"Yeah, Gabriel what are you still doing here I thought you move and had to go to Drumstrang now?"

"No only Renee went to Drumstrang I'm staying here."

"But why?"

Lily watched as Gabriel moved to the bed next to hers and sat down. "I'll tell you why. Renee became a full fledged Death Eater yesterday. She had been thinking of it all summer. She told me se. The reason I came in late the Welcome back Feast was because I knew that Renee was getting ready to tell the Death Eaters she wanted to become one. I was thinking of a way to stop her. She knew what I was trying to do so she threw me in the lake when no one was looking. It took me a long time to get out. "

Lily's face was horror struck. "Oh Gabriel I am so sorry."

"It's ok. I knew Renee had spoken to the Death Eaters telling them she wanted to be one. I couldn't do anything because I was stuck in here. When I had come bursting into the Great Hall the first night Renee wasn't crying because I was close to death. She was crying because I lived.

Renee started writing letters to the Head of Drumstrang asking to be switched there. It took her awhile but the Head Master finally agreed. Renee then wrote to father begging him, to let her go. My father finally allowed her to. HE wrote to me asking if I wanted to join my sister in switching schools. I didn't, I don't want to be Death Eater like her. She came to me and told me to join her. I told her I didn't want to join her. She didn't want to listen. She just kept telling me how good it was. When she wasn't looking I was able to steal her diary. I have read three times now. She was always jealous of you Lily. You, Christine and Emilie.

In her mind you guys were so smart, so pretty could have any guy you wanted. She thought the only stupid things you ever did was say no to James Potter. Renee watched this year as you and James Potter became close friends. She was mad and angry you had become friends with James Potter and Sirius Black.

The last entry she wrote before I stole her diary was 'Dear Diary,

Today I told Lily, Christine, and Emilie my father wanted me to go to Drumstrang. They actually believed me. The smartest girls in the school believed one of the dumbest lies. As they left Severus came from behind the book shelves. He told me of his plan to get Lily to join our ranks. I could tell he liked Lily but he didn't want to make it seem obvious. The other day in Potions he was so happy to get to be Lily's partner. I don't see what guys see in her. She is just like everyone else. I don't see anything special about her. Anyways he asked me if I was ready to join Voldemort's ranks. I of course said yes. It was so smart. Why stay on the loosing side and stay week. When I could be on the winning side and be strong. Diary I will admit to you. I love Sirius Black and have a small crush on James Potter. Oh course Sirius had to ask out Christine. Christine said yes and was so happy. I hate her. I am glad I am on the opposite side of her. I can destroy her now. I can't wait for the moment that I destroy Christine Knight. I must go now I must tell my brother I am leaving and try to get him on the correct side. I'm not sure if I will be able to. HE is one of those Dumbledore Lovers.

-R.Q.'

Lily I'm scared. I don't know what to do please help me."

Lily turned to Gabriel thank you for telling me that. When James, Remus, Sirius, Peter, Christine, and Emilie come back we will have a talk with them. I need you to tell them exactly what you told me and if you cant ill tell them. Gabriel can you do my one more favor?"

"Yeah Lily?"

"Can you get Madam Mitchall?"

"Sure." Gabriel went off and got the head nurse. She reminded Lily of what happened and why she was in so much pain. Madam Mitchall gave Lily some more sleeping potion and Lily fell into a dreamless sleep.

When Lily awoke the next day she could hear voices. "Will you two please keep quiet your going to wake Lily?"

"Sorry Emily." James and Sirius said together.

Lily slowly opened her eyes. The room was very bright. She winced at the pain. She heard the doors open. "Minister please can you leave her alone. She went through a lot last night."

"Professor McGonagall I can not do that."

"What is the meaning of this Minister?" Lily heard Dumbledore's voice.

"I need to speak with Miss Evans."

"You shall not speak with her. She has been through a great ordeal. There is no reason you should bother her for it is not matter of the Ministry's."

"Fine have it your way." Lily heard the Minster leave and Madam Mitchall come out.

"Incase you haven't noticed this is a hospital wing and Miss Evans needs her sleep."

"My dear Alexia. I am so sorry I have given these students permission to stay in here as long s they like. One of their Best Friends has been cursed and hexed many times."

"Fine Head Master. All of you I will be putting you to work then if you are to be staying."

Lily heard her friends groan. "Ma'am can Christine and Emilie stay with me for a bit. I mean with out working." Lily whispered.

Everyone jumped no one had realized that she was awake. Madam Mitchall came over to her. "Why of course my dear."

Very quietly Lily told them all the Gabriel had said the night before. Neither of them could believe it. They were both shocked. Lily talked to them a bit more before Madam Mitchall told them that everyone needs to leave the area around Lily's bed. Everyone wore a confused look on their face. Christine and Emilie hurried over to the Marauders and told them in whispers what Gabriel had told Lily.

A Healer walked into the hospital wing. Emilie and Christine stopped telling the story quickly when the Healer walked in. Remus's face dropped. Along with the other Marauders.

"Mom what are you doing here?"

"Remus I am here to help Miss Evans. I will have a talk with you when I am done."

Healer Lupin walked over to Lily's bed. She handed Lily a few potions and told her the different directions for each.

"Now Miss Evans if you don't feel well in about a week tell Madam Mitchall and she will contact me."

Lily nodded and watched as Healer Lupin went over to her friends. She could only watch for a tiny bit because she fell asleep.

A week later Lily was better. She was scared and jumped at everything. In potions Lily was switched so she could work with Christine and Emilie. Severus had to go join Goyle who had lost a partner when Renee left for Drumstrang. Severus kept turning back to look at Lily. James couldn't help but glare at him every time.

Potions ended quickly. Life was pretty much back to normal except Christine and Emilie could not leave Lily's side. They were scared for her. They had all the right to be. After what Ryan had said to her and after what Severus had said. Lily really wasn't safe. The brilliant eyes were full of fear now. She couldn't give her piercing glare because she was too scared of everyone.

That night the group sat in a circle in the Room of Requirement.

"Should we listen to what Gabriel said? I mean he is her little brother."

"James you didn't here him say it. He told it all to me. He was scared, not knowing what to do. Gabriel had been threaten and Christine, Emilie and I are going to go get him in a minute whether you like it or not."

The Marauders couldn't help but smile they hadn't heard Lily give the smallest of orders since the accident. The girls left the Room of Requirement and came back about five minutes later with Gabriel. He looked scared of the Marauders.

"Ok since now we have everyone here we can start." Sirius began.

"And now that we have everyone here we can talk." Christine butted in.

They talked about what Lily had felt when she was so scared. Gabriel told his story to everyone else so they could hear it from him. James wanted to hold Lily so bad. He loved her and he knew it. But he was finally on good terms with Lily and didn't want to ruin that with asking her out. i If only /i he wished. i If only I could tell her how much I care about her with out her getting mad. /i
