Chapter Five

DC: I don't own Harry Potter

Madame Pomfrey had Sirius and Lily lay in the Hospital Wing. Remus and James were told to go into the Prefects Bathroom, and take a bath there.

The two of them didn't like the fact that they were made to take a bath at the same time. So they grabbed dry clothes from their room, and headed down into the Prefects bathroom. Remus still knew the password. Making sure they weren't either next to each other, or couldn't see each other, they stripped off their clothes, and got in.

"This is awkward." James said. He was at one end. Remus was all the way at the other.

"This is why we can't see each other." Remus said. "The steam is too thick."

"I guess somehow Madame Pomfrey knew our shower broke…I forgot about that." James said.

"Yeah…"

It was still too awkward, so they just hurriedly cleaned up. They dried off, and got dressed in their dry clothes.

They walked out the Prefects Bathroom clean and feeling better. They were now going to check on Sirius and Lily. When they arrived at the Hospital Wing, Madame Pomfrey was standing outside the door.

"You've got to get them to stop!" She cried. "They're all over the place!"

Remus walked in first. The two of them were jumping on the bed, throwing pillows at each other. James came in, and put his hands on his hips.

"Padfoot, Lily!" He yelled.

The two of them stopped jumping and sat on the beds. Sirius's bruise was gone, as was Lily's. The two of them could tell they healed fast.

"What?" Sirius said, with a little smile on his face. "We can't have fun anymore?"

"You're not supposed to be tiring yourselves out." Remus said. "You never know when those bruises start acting up again."

"Can that even happen?" Sirius asked. He poked the black and blue mark on his stomach. "I don't think it will."

"Well if you keep on poking it, it will started to hurt, Padfoot." James said.

Lily slipped off the bed, and went over to James. She tugged on his pants, and motioned for him to bend down. "Daddy, the Doctor said I need my potions…what does that mean?"

"You don't have to whisper, Lily." James said with a laugh. "It just mean to protect you from sicknesses and such."

Lily nodded, and went back to her bed. Madame Pomfrey wanted them to stay the night just in case. She let James and Remus let them stay in the room too. It was only going to be for one night.

--------

They ate breakfast in the morning, and were lounging outside. Lily was chasing a nearby frog, as the other three sat under their favorite tree. It was a warm day, not as hot as it had been, and all of them felt lazy. Remus was reading one of his favorite books.

"So…it's warm…" Sirius said.

Remus nodded and yawned, and James just rubbed his eyes. Lily came trotting over with the green frog in her hand. She threw it onto Remus's head.

Remus felt the frog go down his shirt. He jumped up and started to a little antsy dance. The frog jumped out, and Lily smiled innocently.

"Lily!"

She started to giggle, and run. Remus was after her. Sirius looked at Remus's book, and James watched as Lily and Remus ran around.

"You don't think he'd kill her, do you?" James asked Sirius. Sirius was absentmindedly flipping through pages in Remus's book.

"No… What kind of stuff is he reading anyway?"

Sirius set the book down, and Remus carried a giggling Lily back under the tree. "I'm sorry Uncle Remie! I didn't mean to he jus sipped!"

Remus set Lily down and patted her head. "I know." He gave her a smile, and picked his book up.

--------

The day went by quicker. Sirius and James taught Lily how to play chess, Remus gave all of them pointers, and Lily had a lot of fun.

It came to dinnertime, and that night they were having peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and peas.

"Sandwiches and peas?" Sirius said, looking at his plate. "Are the house elves getting lazy?"

"I'm not sure, but peas are good for you so eat up!" Dumbledore said. He himself had a whole plate full of it.

The bread was dry, the peanut butter was hard to swallow, and the jelly…well there wasn't much of it. Everyone was getting large amounts of orange juice, which was the choice drink for the day.

Lily happily ate one dry sandwich, put glared at her peas. She detested peas with a passion. She was taking her spoon and smashing them one by one. Everyone watched as she did so.

"Miss Lily, peas are good for you." Dumbledore said.

"I don't like them Grandpa…"

Dumbledore tried persuading her more, as did the three Marauders, but Lily wouldn't eat a bite of it. They let it go, and hoped she was full with just that sandwich.

--------

"Well…that was interesting…" James said. They were now in their room getting ready for bed. Dinner was getting later and later every day.

"Ah well…at least Lily like those sandwiches…" Sirius said.

Remus gave a dry heave. "Those weren't sandwiches…those were peanut butter dry things on un-toasted toast."

"I did like them though!" Lily said, coming out of the bathroom. "They were good for my tummy!"

She climbed into her little green bed, and was soon asleep. Remus was already laying down, and Sirius was getting changed. James took off his glasses, and set them on the stand next to him, and was climbing into his own bed.

Sometime later that night, Lily woke up to a growling stomach. She knew she should have eaten more, but she really didn't like those peas. She was sad now. She wanted something good to eat.

She then remembered what her 'family' told her. There were kitchens with elves that would give you anything, if you asked politely. She also remembered where that kitchen was.

She carefully climbed out of bed, and slipped on her socks. She looked around. The hangings around her uncle's and daddy's bed were closed. This was her chance to sneak away.

Lily crawled around the beds, and toward the door. She carefully turned the doorknob, and made sure it didn't squeak. She was out the door within minutes.

"I'll be otay. I'll only be gone for a few seconds…"

Lily closed the door behind her, and bounded down the corridor.

--------

Remus and Sirius were awoken to the sounds of someone scurrying around. There was a loud curse word, then both Sirius's and Remus's hangings were wrenched open.

"Lily is missing!" She's not in the bathroom, or in her bed!"

Remus and Sirius threw on some clothes, and continued a quick look around the room. There were no other hiding places around the room, but they wanted to be sure. James cursed the day that Filch took the Marauders Map.

"Okay then… We'll have to split up and look around the castle!" James said.

James went outside, Sirius went up to the upper corridors, and Remus stayed on the first floor, and dungeons. They had their contacting mirrors, they used if they had separate detentions, and they'd meet up in the Entrance Hall after they were done. That is if they couldn't find Lily. Which also meant they would have to tell Professor Dumbledore.

No one really wanted to tell Dumbledore they had lost Lily. But they did agree on if they couldn't find her, they'd tell him. That would only happen if they couldn't find her.

Remus took a little look into the dungeons, and knew almost immediately after Lily wouldn't go down there. It was too dark and scary. So he stayed upstairs. He was looking around the second floor, when he spotted someone on the floor.

He went to this person, and noticed it was Lily. She was covered with a little blanket, and had stuff all over her face. Remus got his mirror, and contacted Sirius.

"I found her, she's over by the kitch—" The mirror slipped out of Remus's hand, and shattered on the ground. Remus tried to repair it, but the glass wouldn't go back together. He guessed the mirror was too magical.

Remus cursed, and hoped Sirius could get James. He bent down, and noticed she was still breathing.

Luckily enough, Sirius and James came running around the corner. They stopped and looked at Lily. She was slowly coming to.

"Lily!" They cried. Lily smiled up at them.

"Hello! What are you guys doing here?" She asked. She was a bit clueless.

"You scared us!" James roared. Lily looked taken back, and looked ready to cry.

"You can't run away like that!" Sirius scolded.

"I didn't mean to…" Lily cried. She started to sniffle, and a tear rolled down her face. They didn't mean to make her cry.

"Don't cry…" Remus said.

"Yeah were sorry for yelling." James said. He helped her up. "Are you hungry for breakfast?"

"No…" Lily said. "I already ate…"

They got it now. The stuff on her face was food. The three of them laughed, and lead Lily back to the room. They cleaned her fingers and face, and she got dressed.

Today was going to be another fun filled adventure for the four of them.
