CHAPTER 17
Before Lilly joined her friends at the table for breakfast she needed to give her list to the Headmistress. She walked up to the table All the while she felt Professor Browning eyes on her. It was making her extremely uncomfortable.
"Headmistress, here is the list Professor Lovegood asked us to make. I am sorry it is so short. I wanted to talk…."
"Now is not the time Miss Potter, to many little ears. We will meet soon until then please go with your fellow Gryffindors." The Headmistress said.
With out another word, Lilly walked back to her friends, feeling some what down. But she could still feel Professor Browning eyes in her. It was starting to creep her out. She tried to ignore it and focus on her eggs, bacon, and porridge but she could not shake the feeling. She suddenly was feeling trapped, she had to get out. Suddenly she was feeling a little queasy and some what faint. She needed to leave.
"Annie, Can you help me to the room, I am not feeling too well."
"Are you sure you don't want to see Madam Pomfrey? You aren't looking very well."
"No, no I think I just need to have a lie down, I think I will be fine."
"Ok, if you think that is what you need." Annie said as she proceeded to help Lilly out of the great hall. Annie could feel Lilly getting weaker. Just before they reached the moving stair cases Lilly collapsed. She would not come around. Annie was trying franticly to revive her. Annie was sobbing quite loudly when the Hagrid rounded the corner with fang rather large but seemingly harmless dog.
"What's going on here what is all the commotion?" Hagrid asked when he saw Annie standing over someone. "Annie what's the matter. Who is that there?" Hagrid asked a little worried.
Annie stood up with a tear stained face, when Hagrid saw his God daughter laying before him be broke down. He scooped her up in his massive arms and pretty much ran all the way to Madam Pomfreys. Annie was trying with all her might to keep up with him. She was in some what of a shock she could not think straight. Was Lilly going to be alright, what was wrong with her, is she dead? Annie couldn't breathe. Finally just before she felt like her heart was going to explode the reach Madam Profreys. Hagrid nearly knocked the door down trying to get it open. When Madam Pomfrey walked over to see what the commotion was about she say Lilly in Hagrids arms.
"What happened to Lilly, Hagrid?"
"I don't know I found her like this, Annie here was with her when I found her." Hagrid explained.
"Well, Annie what happened, we need to help her now, I need to know what she has!"
"I don't know madam. She asked me to help her up to the dorm, she said she was not feeling well, she did not want to come see you she said she just wanted to sleep. So, right before we got to the stairs she collapsed. I couldn't wake her. I didn't know what to do. I just started panicking."
"How long from the time she collapsed until Hagrid showed up?" Madam Pomfrey asked hurriedly.
"I am not sure it could have been 10 seconds, it could have 10 minutes, I do not know. I am sorry. I was so confused I didn't know what was going on, oh God I should have acted faster. I should have been more attentive, Oh, Lilly what have I done."
"Miss Jessup, please calm down, you did the best you could in the circumstances you had. Now please calm down. I have a few more questions for you. What was Lilly doing right before she stated feeling ill?"
"Well, we were having breakfast, we had a run in with Draco and Drucilla and Professor Browning broke it up, then he asked Lilly to hang back so she could speak to her. So she was some what late coming to breakfast. Her breakfast was sitting waiting for her."
"Did anyone disturb her meal before she go there, did any one get near her food before she stated eating?"
"Well, not that I can think of she was set to sit between my self and Jessica Flanagan, Well, there were two Slytherin I believe older like 7th years who bumped into me while taunting about the Quidditch match next week. But they were only there for a second. You don't think they could have put….."
"Poison, yes as a matter of fact I do. From the state of Miss Potter here I think it is an advance potion. Listen, Miss Jessup, I need to you go down and get the Headmistress and her cousin Danny, and yes Chris is allowed too. But to not alert anyone else, we do not want the school in a panic. Hurry, time is luxury we do not have at this time."
Without a second though Lilly left the hospital wing, she tried to look calm, but it was hard with her tear stained face. She whipped franticly and her face to clear away the stains. She was coming on the great hall, there was much noise like breakfast was still going on. How long was I sitting with Lilly, it could not have been too long. She entered the great hall and first went to Danny and Chris, she quickly explained to them what happened, and told them to leave casually and not to make a scene. Danny looked like he was about to cry Chris and Danny got up casually trying to joke around with each other like the always do. Once they were out of sight Annie slowly walked up to the staff table she motioned for the headmistress to meet her out in the hall. McGonagall knew Annie was not a very forward person so she knew something serious must be up so she followed Miss Jessup out into a the hall.
"Miss Jessup what is going on, this better be seriously. The Headmistress said, even though from the look on Annie's face she knew it must be.
"I am sorry to disturb you Headmistress but it is Lilly, she has been poisoned. Madam Pomfrey asked me to notify you. She wants you in the hospital wing as soon as possible." Annie stated on the verge of tears.
"Well then Miss Jessup, we must to dilly dally now must we, Lilly is going to be fine, we will find out what is wrong with her and correct it. Now I am sure Lilly would love for you to be by her bed side. Now let's hurry."
They walked in silence all the way to the hospital wing. The walked up and opened the doors, when they finally reached Lilly's bed some one started screaming, as if they were being killed or as if they were just watching their best friend being killed.

CHAPTER 18
The walked up and opened the doors, when they finally reached Lilly's bed some one started screaming, as if they were being killed or as if they were just watching their best friend being killed.
Annie was wondering who was screaming, she sat they and looked at her best friend. She was turned the ugliest shade of green Annie had ever seen. Still the screaming didn't subside. Then a hand covered her mouth, it was Chris hand. The screaming stopped. It was Annie who has been screaming and she didn't even realize it. Lilly was getting worse before her eyes. She watched as the head mistress and Madam Pomfrey tried healing charms, and potions, and everything they could think of, then Headmistress spoke.
"We have done all we can here. We will escort her to St. Mungos hospital. Annie and Chris and Danny, you are not only her friends but her family as well; I will allow you to use my fire place to use the Floo powder network to go and tell the family. Danny, please you will go home and alert your mother, father and grandparents, Annie and Chris I want you to go over to the Potters and tell them of what happened. They I want all of you straight over to St. Mungos. Tell no one else. Classes will be postponed for 2 days. We will keep an eye over all the food. This must not happen again. Now Hagrid, since you are her Godfather I want you to come with us to St. Mungos, incase Miss. Potter wakes up before her parents get there. Now everyone we must move quickly.
Annie had never use floo powder so she had to hold on to Chris to when they were going to The Potter's. Danny had used it several times so he went by him self first, then Chris and Annie.
Harry was reading the Daily Prophet relaxing by the fire, Ginny was in the kitchen cleaning up the breakfast dishes and suddenly there was a noise form the fire place. Harry glanced up from his paper and saw Lilly's best friends standing covered in soot with terrified looks on their faces.
"Annie, Chris what are you doing here, where is Lilly, Does McGonagall know you are here."
"Lilly, hurt, St. Mungos, trouble, go now." Was all Annie could manage to say.
"GINNY! Come quick its Lilly, she has been hurt." Harry screamed.
"Lilly, what's the matter with my baby!"
"Poisoned." was the only word Chris could get out."
"Ginny, grab Annie's hand, Chris take mine we will Apparate to St. Mungos." And with a loud POP! They were going.
Meanwhile at the Weasleys Danny slid into his living room right in front of his dad who was playing wizard's chess with his grandfather Arthur. While his mum and grandmother were walking into the living room to join their husbands in front of the fire.
Hermione was the first one to speak "Daniel, Arthur Weasley, did you get in trouble again, How many times do I have to tell……"
Hermione was cut off by Danny. "Mum I didn't get into trouble, its Lilly she has been poisoned, she is being taken to St. Mungos to treatment. We need to get there as soon as possible."
"Poisned?" Molly, Danny's grandmother asked. "Some one needs to tell Harry and Ginny, we need to get over there…"
"No, nana Annie and Chris have already been there, we need to get to St. Mungos now, She was turning a god awful share of green when I last saw her."
Alright Arthur said, he grabbed Danny and soon they had all apparated to St. Mungos.
