Chapter Four

"She'll be okay."LIly was awake, but she kept her eyes closed"Don't worry sirius.You'll have James and Lily back soon."Another voice said."Yea Sirius.You can't miss me that much."Lily said hoarsley."LILY!"Sirius's voice came.She heard footsteps and then a thunk as Sirius landed on the floor next to her bed.

Lily sat up.Her whole body ached but she ignored it."So how are you?"She asked.Sirius smiled."Fine."Lily was intentionally avoiding the topic of James because the last thing she saw before she blacked out was him jump after her.Remus plopped down next to sirius."Lily!"He exclaimed."Your awake."Lily smiled,she was happy to get alot of the attention, but she was worried about James.

Since when do I call him James? She asked herself.

"A knut for your thoughts?"Remus asked."Sure."Lily said playfully snatching the knut out of his hands.

Lily pulled the covers away from her.And crawled out of bed."Lily..."Remus started, but lily held her finger to her mouth and silently walked over to James' bed.She whispered something in his ear and he sat up with a start.Lily giggled, collapsing on the floor.Remus and Sirius snuck away because visiting hours were over.

"James..."Lily whispered,hugging her knees."Yea..."

"Why did you jump after me?"Lily asked looking towards James, who was running his hand through his hair."I don't know."He admitted."Why'd you jump?"

"Voldemort.It's all his fault.He killed my parent's.I found out when I got home.Petunia held the funerals without me.When I discovered my chemical romance and system of a down.I just...Changed.I used a charm to change my hair color.I got a warning for that."Lily talked about it calmly for the first time.

"And then you couldn't fake happy."James said plainly.He remembered it from the night Lily jumped."So you tried to hide it in your music.When you couldn't play.you jumped."

"Yea."Lily said standing up."I'll be right back"She said walking behind a curtain.

Lily came out with a smile.James stared.Lily had changed her clothes.She was wearing jeans,and a pink shirt and a black shawl.Her hair was still black,but short and layered, and she was wearing converses.Lily stretched."So...Potter.You coming?"She asked playfully, sneaking out of the Hospital wing.James quickly changed into jeans and a blue shirt and some black sneakers.

"Lily.Where are you going?"He asked. Lily stopped ahead of him."Hogsmeade.We'll have to sneak over the fence."She answered.James caught up with her andsmiled."Not if I can help it."He said, grabbing Lily's handJames led Lily to a statue of what looked like a one eyed witch.She watched James tap the statue with his wand, and mutter something.The witches' back opened.

Lily gasped as james climbed into the hole.Lily quickly followed,afraid of being caught.

Lily followed James out of HoneyDukes.James walked ahead of her.But Lily stopped.She thought someone was watching her.She spun around and let out a scream as a huge black shaggy dog knocked her over.The dog jumped away as a stag came charging towards him.They fought a little and then ran off, leaving Lily behind."Lily got up and walked into the three broomsticks.She sat down and ordered a Butterbeer.

Lily payed Madame Rosmersa and sipped her butterbeer.She was deep in thought about her hair when James walked in, panting.Lily nodded to him and sipped her drink."So Lily.Are you ready to leave?"James asked."Yea."Lily answered absent mindedly.

James and Sirius sat in the Room of Requirement.They were drinking ButterBeer and chatting."Anna's okay."Sirius was saying.Talking about his interest of the week."So anyway...Who do you fancy at this particular moment?"He asked.

"Lily Evans."James blurted."Lily!""Sirius whispered.James nodded,thinking of Lily."Man.YOu've gone nuts!"Sirius said."Why!"

"You've fallen for Lily.She's practically my sister."Sirius stated."Shut up, padfoot!"James laughed."Well.I'll leave you here to think."Padfoot said walking out of the room.
