Chapter Seven

DC: I don't own Harry Potter

Day number three of Hen Hocks was a quiet day. For some reason the two of them still had high fevers, and didn't really want to move around much. Their bumps and itchy blotches were slowly going away, but they still itched.

Madame Pomfrey had them in bed. The last two days were exciting enough. Now they just needed rest.

And before you knew it, the Chicken Pox had gone away, and they were feeling fit again. Sirius and Remus came right after lunch, the day after, and saw they had healed.

"Before you go," Madame Pomfrey said. "Lily will have her potions."

Lily was scared. She didn't want to take the potions.

"It's going to be like the shots…" Lily cried. She really didn't want to sit in the chair and wait. She was squirming a little, and looked nervous. All three Marauders sat in chairs next to her, telling her it would be okay.

"Don't worry Lily." Remus said. "It's not like the muggle shots. There are no needles."

"It's just a drink." James said.

"It'll burn your throat up, but it's only potions." Sirius added.

The other two gave him a glare, and Lily held her throat. She didn't want to burn.

Madame Pomfrey came in with four potions. She advised Lily to drink to the last drop, but didn't expect her to. So she added to drink what she could.

Lily drank each potion. No drops were left, but she was feeling kind of sick. Madame Pomfrey allowed her to take a nap in the Hospital Wing. James showed Remus and Sirius the lovely family tree they made together.

"Whoa…" Sirius said. He pointed to Professor McGonagall. "This is…"

"Your mother, sister, and wife?" Remus asked. "Er…"

James explained what Lily thought of their 'family'. Sirius had to silence him self, and then laugh. Remus thought it disturbing. No one in Hogwarts would actually do that.

Sirius un-silenced himself. "Our family is totally inbred. I wonder what Dumbledore would say…"

"That's a problem." Remus said. "So what if Professor McGonagall crosses paths with Lily? She'd probably say this to her. I mean she will eventually. The both of them will see each other at dinner."

James didn't think of that. "We'll just explain what happened."

"Yeah and she's going to question on how we raise Lily." Sirius said. "We teach her loads don't we?"

"She made this by herself." James said holding up his hands. "I didn't say anything."

They kept the picture anyway. It would be a great memory to laugh about in the future. Lily woke up an hour later, saying she was okay, but was looking a little sick.

They decided to keep it on a low level day. They hung out under the tree outside. Lily slept in James's arms, as Remus tried to explain his muggle book to Sirius.

"So this girl keeps this boy captive, because she loves him?" Sirius asked. "So…isn't that kidnapping?"

"Not exactly." Remus said. "You see the boy is a servant to the girl. He has to stay with her, or else something bad could happen."

"So… That means…he doesn't love her…" Sirius said.

Remus gave him a weird look. "Who said that? I didn't say he doesn't love her."

"Well does he?"

"Well…er…he doesn't."

"There's my point." Sirius said. "He doesn't love her."

Remus sighed in defeat. There was nothing he could get through to him. So he opened up his book, and started to read.

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Rubbish, those muggle love novels. They're going to take over your brain somehow."

James wasn't really listening. Lily's body was feeling hot. He looked over to Remus. "Remus…why is Lily so hot?"

Before Remus could ask him why, Sirius gave James a look. "Oh so your finally confessing? What do you do when Lily's in your bed? She's that hot huh?"

James rolled his eyes, and turned back to Remus. Remus felt her forehead. "It could be the heat from out here. It is kind of warm. We should take her inside, and cool her off a little."

James carried Lily inside, Remus and Sirius following. When they got to their room, Remus dug around his trunk. He pulled out some chocolate, and handed it to James. "When she wakes up, give her this. Chocolate helps some."

"When did that ever heal anything?" Sirius asked. "It makes me feel sick if I eat too much."

"You've never eaten it when you were sick, have you?" Remus asked. Sirius shook his head. "My point. But it does help."

James took it, and set it on his stand. The three of them decided just to stick around until she woke up. Lily did wake up about three hours later. Just in time for dinner.

"How are you feeling Lily?" James asked.

"I'm feeling much better. I didn't like the potions too much." Lily said. "Can we go eat? I'm hungry."

Forgetting about the chocolate, the four of them went to dinner. It was the regular circle table, with the seven chairs. That night they were having turkey, stuffing, and green beans. James wondered if the House Elves were feeling up and ready to cook all this.

Lily ate her fill, as was everyone else, but wasn't feeling too right afterwards. They were still in the middle of eating, when Lily turned green, and turned to the closest person to her.

"I don't feel so good—"

Everyone watched as Lily suddenly hurled up everything she just ate, and some. It was like slow motion. She held her stomach. James, Remus, Dumbledore, and McGonagall looked disturbed. Sirius was turned around in his chair. He already felt sick. His head was between his knees.

The table cleared itself, and new food popped up. Everyone, but Hagrid, had lost his or her appetite. He didn't seem bothered by this. He's seen worse.

James helped Lily down off the chair, as Remus rubbed Sirius's back. "Er…Just keep yourself like that Padfoot. Then maybe you won't throw--"

Just by the mention of it, Sirius lost his own dinner onto the floor. James and Remus flinched as he did so.

"Everyone to the Hospital Wing!" Dumbledore ordered. There was only the faintest hint of cheerfulness in his voice. "Or else we shall all fall ill."

Lala Rue here, and another, short yet still funny, chapter! Yeah, I wanted to make something happen on the third day, but I couldn't think of anything.

Sorry but Lily will stay four, until whatever happens, happens. I can't tell you what's going to happen, but there are a few more things that happen to the three Marauders and Lily. All of them funny in their own way!

So hope you liked!

I'll update soon, if I can get some reviews!

Love, Lala Rue!
