Romance in the Hospital Wing
by Wo Ai Ni16
Chapter Six: A Glimpse of the Past
Saturday, First Week of August; 10:00 P.M.: Hospital Wing
"So…" Ameile began, fluffing James's pillow as he sat up. "Are you sure that there's nothing going on between you and Lily?"
James stiffened and he felt guilty as he lied, "Of course not." He stretched his legs before lying back down. "What would give you an idea like that?"
Ameile couldn't help but roll her eyes. Isn't it kind of obvious? She thought. "Come on, James, you forget that I was only a year behind you in Hogwarts. It wasn't really a secret how much you..er.. 'liked' Evans."
Damn, she's got me there. However, James was able to quickly recover. "Ameile, she's only my MediWitch, as well as yours. You don't have to worry about anything."
Ameile smiled. "Alright, if you're sure." She gently kissed his cheek before lying down on a cot propped beside his bed. "Well, goodnight, James. Remember, we'll both be going back to Headquarters by tomorrow afternoon."
James sighed. He didn't need the reminder. Moody will no doubt give him another one of his long lectures the instant he arrives. Taking off his glasses and placing it on a small table beside him, James lied down and instantly fell asleep.
Hogwarts, Tenth Floor, Guest Rooms: Lily Evans
Lily, wearing a light pale blue nightgown, stretched in front of her vanity mirror. Beside her on the floor were two trunks that were only partially unpacked. Ignoring her body's aching protests, she set out once more to unload her belongings. Already finished unpacking all her clothes, she moved on to her accessories, medical books, and other miscellaneous things.
At the end of the second trunk there was a small box. Lily frowned in thought. She didn't remember putting it in there, she must have just shoved it in the trunk in her haste of packing up. Taking the box out, Lily opened the lid to find her old diaries, the diaries she kept during her Hogwarts years. They looked new, having been kept in neat condition. The first one on top of the pile was her diary for her first year in Hogwarts. Her hands were paused a few inches over the cover, not sure if she should read it or not. Once more, a whole flood of memories came back to Lily.
The diary seemed to call out to her, tempting her to open it and read its contents that were kept for many years. Picking up the book, Lily walked over and sat on the edge of her bed and opened it.
Skipping practically half of the entries, Lily went to the ones that actually mattered, the entries she wrote during her first year in Hogwarts. She read the entry she wrote the day before her departure to Hogwarts:
Dear Diary,
Oh, I'm so nervous about Hogwarts, but at the same time, I'm so excited, I can't even sleep! Not even stupid Petty can ruin my day. I swear, my brat of a sister is just jealous of me. Did I tell you that I already read all of my books? It's best for me to be prepared, right? After all, since I am muggleborn (that's a term they use for non-magic folk, by the way) I will have to even double my efforts in order to succeed well in this school! I cannot wait to see everything for myself. I have read all about Hogwarts and it seems like such a fantastic place. Well, I will have to say goodnight for now, diary, mother is beginning to scold me for staying up so late.
Lily
The next was an entry written on her first day in Hogwarts:
Dear Diary,
I cannot express how wonderful this place is! I have to say, I was very scared this morning because I didn't know where Platform 9 ¾ was. Luckily I met a girl named Alice. She's really nice; she's a pureblood so that's why she was able to tell me how to get to the platform. Then we met Sarah on the train and we were able to chat and get to know each other. Apparently, Sarah is a half-blood, her magic blood came from her mother's side.
As we were settling down, a boy named James Potter knocked and asked if he could sit with us. He seemed awkward to be sitting with a bunch of girls but he said that there was no other room left. He sat down beside me. James seems nice enough. Alice knows his family a little bit. He's also a pureblood, and a very rich and wealthy one at that. From what I could tell, his family seems to be famous in the wizarding world. Maybe his parents are in a high position in the ministry?
Once we arrived we met Headmaster Dumbledore (he reminds me so much of the muggle version of Merlin!) and he gave us a brief speech before we ate our feast. The food here is amazing! It appears magically before your eyes! After that, we were led to our Common Room and then to our dormitories, which is where I am right now.
I'll write to you again, diary, I'm sure it will be a busy day tomorrow! Wish me luck!
Lily
Lily skipped a couple of more entries until she found a specific one:
Dear Diary,
First of all, sorry for not being able to write for a while. I've been having so many exams lately. But I have to tell you something, I have to admit it. I thought at first that I was wrong, but I can't deny it anymore… I like James Potter. And the thing is, diary, I don't think that this is just a simple crush. I mean I really, really, like him.
I'm not sure what makes him so special to me. Maybe it's because we're a lot alike? I have to admit, I don't have too many friends here; I don't really have much of a social life. I can't help it if I'm too preoccupied with my studies! I spend most.. okay, all of my time studying. But I hate studying in the library, you know what I'm like. For some reason, I prefer studying outdoors. That's why a week ago I finally decided to take a chance and went to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I decided to explore a little bit and I went down this small path into a glade. The place is perfect! It must be the only part in the Forbidden Forest that allows a good amount of sunlight to pass through the trees. So I went there the next day with my books to study. I thought that I was the only one who knew about the place, but guess who I found there? None other than James! Oh diary, you must've seen how red my face was! I swear, I was blushing like a ripe tomato.
I asked him what he was doing there and he said that he came to the clearing all the time to study and relax. Can you imagine that? I'm not alone! James is such a sweet, caring, shy young man, and that's what I love about him! He also studies a lot, but I guess not as much as myself. He didn't mind at all that his glade was no longer a secret as long as I don't tell anyone else.
So there you have it, diary. Everyday we meet there to study and talk with one another.
I can ramble on and on about James, but I'm sure I wrote enough for today.
Lily
Placing a bookmark in that page of the diary, Lily lied down on her bed, staring up at its canopy. Yes, she had liked James a lot during her first few years in Hogwarts. But back then, as she had written in her diary many years ago, he had been a shy guy, but something happened over the summer before their fourth year. Lily frowned at the memory. Whatever that something was, it definitely changed the nice James she liked into the arrogant, pig-headed, womanizing jerk that she hated. Lily looked at her room. It wasn't as clean as she hoped it would be but it would have to do for then. Snapping her fingers, the light in the room turned off and Lily fell asleep.
James was having a rather nice dream about a certain redhead when a bright flash, for lack of a better word, flashed before his eyes. He immediately opened his eyes wide, the whole room appearing blurry, and reached for the wand in the pocket of his pajamas. He put on his glasses and blinked. There, in front of the open curtains was a young man slightly older than him, wearing ordinary casual black robes. James looked at the i.d. hanging on the man's neck and groaned. Another bloody reporter, just what I need.
The reporter beamed, ignoring the obviously annoyed look on James's face. "Mr. Potter! It's such an honor, we've heard of another one of your recent victories!"
James ignored his comment and said sleepily, "What time is it?"
The reporter checked his watch, "It's exactly 8 a.m., sir!"
"And you woke me up at this time for an interview? What the bloody hell's wrong with you?" James narrowed his eyes. "I highly doubt that you're even allowed in here."
"James, what's going on?" A sleepy feminine voice asked.
Oh no…James thought.
It was Ameile. Sitting up on the cot, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. The reporter turned his curious eyes on the poor auror. Without warning…
FLASH
Ameile was awake by this time and gasped. The reporter had taken a picture of her.
Oh god no…
"Well, well, young miss, what's your name?" The reporter asked eagerly, too eagerly, in fact. An enchanted quill and parchment appeared beside him in the air, ready to record every word.
Ameile gulped and turned to James, not knowing what to do.
James sighed in defeat. Well, we did our best to keep it secret. He replied. "Her name's Ameile Collins. She's…" he took a breath, "my girlfriend."
The reporter beamed. To think, he was the first to find out! The entire press will have a field day! He took another picture.
"Goodness, who'd have thought? And how long have you two lovebirds been together?"
Ameile slightly flinched at the term 'lovebirds.' Deciding to speak up for them she responded, "About one year."
The reporter nodded eagerly, happy for all this information.
"And how exactly did you two meet?"
"Um…"
James sighed. It was better if they say the truth, otherwise the papers will just make up another one of their fake stories. Of course, they will have to twist the truth a little bit to keep the past auror missions a secret.
"Well, it was about a year ago," he began. "There was a private ball my friend, Sirius was having. He invited all the aurors from the ministry."
Ameile nodded, understanding what James was doing as she fabricated, "Yes and we met there."
The reporter's eyes lit up, "Oh, so you're an auror too?"
Ameile nodded, smiling.
"Goodness, what a charming couple you two make! So I suppose it was love at first sight?" The reporter winked at James.
The latter laughed nervously, "I guess you could say that."
The reporter snapped his fingers and instantly, the parchment and will disappeared to the inside of his briefcase. "Well, this has most certainly been a pleasure. This will be more than enough for the Daily Prophet. Thank you for your time, Mr. Potter." The reporter tipped his hat at Ameile, "Ms. Collins." Without anytime to spare, the reporter quickly walked outside, not giving James anytime to stop him.
"Well," Ameile said, turning to James, "that wasn't so bad."
James snorted, "Just wait until tomorrow. You'll be surprised how some papers can twist words around." He checked his watch, "And I can definitely expect a whole herd of reporters by this afternoon at least."
"We'll just have to leave before that time then."
Lily looked longingly out the window, watching the soft breeze flow through the trees before it reached her, playing gently with her hair. The cheery glow of the outdoors contrasted sharply with the rather gloomy aura of the Wing, which had the majority of its windows blocking the sunlight so as not to disturb the sleep of its patients. Turning back to the window, Lily stuck her head out slightly to invite more of the breeze to cool her sweat-slicked skin. How I wish to go outside, Lily thought. I don't think Madam Pomfrey will mind; after all, there's nothing much for me to do and Megan won't mind covering up for me. Her decision made, she smoothed out her uniform and made her way towards the main ward.
Turning the corner, she spotted Megan and called to her, "Megan!"
The MediWitch turned around and smiled, seeing her friend. "Hi, Lily, taking a break?"
"I will right now, is it okay if you cover up for me?"
Megan nodded and waved her right hand, showing she didn't mind. "Sure, sure, I just got off from mine anyway."
"Thanks," Lily said, taking off her apron and re-tying her hair into a ponytail. "If Madam Pomfrey asks, I'll just be outside in the fields. I really need some fresh air."
Megan frowned at this. "Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, with all the attacks…"
Lily laughed lightly, "Oh, come on, Megan, I highly doubt that even Voldemort-" Megan flinched at the name "-has the nerve to attack Hogwarts yet." Seeing that her friend still looked unconvinced, she added, "Really, I'll be fine, now stop worrying."
"Fine, but if you don't come back within an hour," Megan paused, looking at the clock: it was currently 10 a.m., "I will send someone to search for you, I swear."
Lily laughed once more, "Alright, alright." Shaking her head, smiling, she walked out the Wing and stepped into a long hallway. Going down several flights of stairs, she reached the grand main entrance hallway. Surprisingly, she didn't run into anyone. Opening the doors, she stepped outside and breathed in the crisp, fresh air. It was fairly mild for an August day, with the breeze around.
Lily smiled and ambled down the fields, walking towards the direction of the lake. She decided to sit down on a boulder near lake, taking of her shoes and dipping them into its clear waters. Lily sat there idly for several minutes before she remembered something: the glade. Standing up, Lily muttered a drying charm for her feet before putting her shoes back on.
Lily walked once more, this time with a destination. Upon reaching the edge of the forest, she continued walking, all the while looking down on the ground. Come on, I know it's here somewhere…Oh! There it is! Lily bent down next to her find: a medium-sized rock. It didn't' seem to be anything out of the ordinary, covered with moss. Lily bent down further and wiped it clean with the side of her hand, revealing the now shiny polished rock On its lower edge, right above where the rock met the ground were two initials placed on opposite sides of the rock, LE on the left and JP on the right. In the middle was a small, amber gem, glimmering in the sunlight.
Finally confirming that she was heading in the right direction, Lily walked into the forest. Walking along a small path, she rounded a large shrub to see a clearing in the forest. Smiling, she breathed in deeply, enjoying the scent of the flowers in the surrounding bushes. She continued walking, but stopped, gasping as she saw that she was not alone. There, lying on a clean patch of grass, resting his head on a log was James.
Oh god! What is he doing here? Lily thought desperately. He was turned away from her, so she still had a chance to retreat. However, god was against her that day; as she took one step back, Lily stepped on a fallen twig, making a nice crisp 'snap' sound in the quiet glade.
James immediately turned around and jumped into a defensive stance, his wand pointing directly at her heart. At that moment, Lily could not help but fell terribly afraid; James's eyes were ablaze and he reflected a strong aura of power. Lily finally understood why he was considered to be one of Moody's top aurors.
Once he realized that the intruder was only Lily, James relaxed and lowered his wand. "Hey, Lils, what brings you here?" He sat down and leaned against the log.
Lily was still thoroughly shaken, "Good god, James! By the way you looked, I thought you were going to kill me!"
He smiled sheepishly and laughed nervously, scratching the back of his neck. "Sorry, just… Auror training and my reflexes, you know? Which reminds me," he narrowed his eyes, "you're not supposed to be out here!"
Lily scoffed and kicked a stone on the ground, "I can defend myself very well, thank you very much!" She held her chin high, her arms akimbo. "And I wouldn't be talking, Mr. Potter, you should be staying in the Wing right now."
This made James laugh, "You're the same as ever, Lils. And I was bored, the weather looked great so I decided to go out for a walk." He patted the space on the grass beside him.
Lily smiled and took up his invitation, sitting down. "And I can practically say the same about you." She turned to look at him, "But why are you here? You haven't been here since-"
"Yeah, I know, I know. It's been a long time since we used to meet up here in our spot, huh?"
Lily further relaxed, leaning against the log. "Yes.. we haven't been here together since our second year." She picked up a daisy and idly plucked off its petals.
James's expression saddened, "I never forgot about this place, though."
Lily smiled sardonically, "Yeah right," her eyes hardened, "you completely forgot about our friendship after second year." She didn't really understand why she was saying all these things. For some reason, however, the words just flowed out her mouth without her control.
James leaned back and he looked incredulous. Not bothering to lower his voice, he asked, "What do you mean?! We became friends again in our seventh year." He looked less confident as he waited for Lily to respond. She remained quiet. "Right?" Come on, Lils, say something! He thought.
"Lils," he began, his voice almost pleading as he reached out for her hand, "Don't be like this…"
Lily tensed up. She didn't need this right now. "I'm going," she said simply, making a move to stand up when James held her arm back.
He looked frustrated as he pulled her, forcing her to sit down again. Lily groaned and sat down reluctantly. She knew where this conversation was going…
James was about to speak when Lily interrupted him, "Look, James, it's the past…"
He nodded and exclaimed emphatically, "Precisely! And you have got to stop running away from the past, Lily!"
That did it, he had hit a nerve. "It's called the past for a reason, James! Just forget it!" She stood up once more and James followed suit.
"Like bloody hell I will! How am I supposed to understand, Lily, if you don't tell me anything?!"
Lily stood still, deciding that no response was the best for her situation. The truth of the matter was, she didn't really know how to respond to his question. How can I possibly make him understand? Everything is just so complicated… the war, our 'history,' and we're not even single! Although he seems to have forgotten about that last part.
She bit her lower lip and tried to remain calm. Her first reaction would have been to make a come-back comment, but she didn't want to have a petty argument right now. Deciding to use another tactic, she tried to placate James, saying in a forced calm, "Look, James, let's just go back and pretend this never happened. I'm sure Ameile is getting worried-"
"Dammit, I don't care about her right now! Lily, I want to know what's going on between us!" The expression on his face was angry, hurt, and pleading at the same time. Lily felt almost sorry for him, but she remained her ground.
"Nothing's going on between us! You forget that you even have a girlfriend, James!" She responded angrily. A sudden thought came to her mind "Or are you still that womanizing jerk you've always been years ago? Ha! I should have known better than to think that you've actually changed!"
James looked gravely wounded by the comment but being equally stubborn he did not show how much it affected him for too long. He took a step back and Lily was surprised to see a smug look on his face. He smirked before responding, "Oh, so that's what this is all about! Ha, you're jealous!"
"What! Why, I- I…" Lily felt anger rise up in her. The nerve! That is so untrue, how dare he! "Don't flatter yourself, Potter-"
"Oh, great, so we're on a last name basis again?" He said sarcastically.
"Why would I be jealous? I'm engaged!" Lily said triumphantly, holding up her right hand, the expensive diamond ring reflecting the sunlight. James was about to say something but shook his head, closing his mouth. Feeling like she won the argument, Lily turned away from him, glaring instead at a tree beside her.
James watched her, a somber expression on his face. Tentatively, he walked up behind her. Although she was aware of his presence, she didn't acknowledge him. Hesitantly, he placed his hands on her shoulders and placed his head on hers, subconsciously noting her wonderful scent of vanilla and cherry blossoms. Lily tensed upon his touch, but relaxed, slowly melting into him.
"Look, Lils, I know you won't really believe me, but I still-"
A shout rang into the morning air: "LILY!" It sounded like Megan. Oh no, she must've thought that something happened to me! "It's Megan," she gasped to James.
"Damn," James muttered under his breath, silently cursing Megan in his head. I was so close!
Lily walked towards the castle, calling out, "Megan!"
There was a short pause before they heard the MediWitch replied, "Lily! Where are you?!"
"I'm fine, don't worry about me!"
James followed shortly behind her, cursing under his breath for being so rudely interrupted. Lily was taking swift strides, being careful not to trip over roots and loose rocks along the path. James turned around to take a quick glance of the glade before turning back to follow Lily.
When they finally reached the edge of the forest, they spotted Megan a couple of meters away, looking in their direction.
"You're ten minutes late!" She yelled angrily as she stomped over to them. "And Madam Pomfrey needs help with making some medical potions!"
Lily walked over to her friend and apologized, "I'm sorry, I got a little held back" she said, giving an annoyed glance towards James.
The auror just rolled his eyes and continued walking past them towards the castle. Megan watched his back with a questioning look.
"What happened between you two?"
Lily shrugged and replied, "Nothing of importance." She walked back towards the castle
Megan sighed and followed her friend, shaking her head sadly. "You're an awful liar, Lily," she whispered under her breath. However, she decided not to push the subject further. By the way that her friend was biting her lip and clenching her hands, something definitely happened between them.
-------------------------------o
My notes:
#1: After realizing that my last chapter was ridiculously short (although I don't think anyone commented on it, lol ) I decided to make this one extra long. Well, so you guys have a pretty basic idea of what transpired between Lily and James when they were younger. However, I will add more things in the future chapters so that you will have a clearer picture.
#2: Hopefully the entire "glade scene" wasn't too sappy. I was re-reading it over and over again critically, but when I asked some of my friends for their opinions, they liked it. If ever that it can be considered sappy, it adds good flavor to the story, they said. Maybe you guys could also give me your feedbacks?
#3: For those who wonder about how long this story may be… I think you could tell from my pacing that it will be pretty long. I mean, only about two days have passed so far! xD I am planning to split the entire story up into two or maybe three fics: a prequel, showing Lily and James' conflict in their past relationship; this fic; and a sequel of when Lily and James finally get together and start hiding from Voldemort. I'd best concentrate on this fic first and not get away though. What do you guys think?
To all my reviewers: I love all you guys, thanks so much for reviewing. And if you're reading this story and still haven't given me a review…. Well I hope that you do sometime in the near future! =P
---------------------------------------o

Adele Rising: Thank you very much! I'm happy that my story is one of your exceptions.
Flying-piggy-123: Thanks lots! Yes, Lily and James are also my favorite HP couple. They're the best!
Muses' Advocate: Of course you can have Sirius! As long as James is mine ; ) lol, thank you for your comment on my writing style, that's another thing that I'm concerned of. But seeing that you liked it, I'm happy =)
Child-of-scorpio: Oh yes, Lily's feelings are even more confused in this chapter. The poor girl.. and poor James too. Oh well, we'll just have to see how this goes, ne?

Dee: Thanks lots for having faith in me! Yes, I'm not going to abandon this story, no matter how long it takes me to update!
Princess Pixie Ice: Heyyyy! Long time no review or chat, I have to check out your story sometimes. Once all these exams are over, I have to make sure to read your story! Once more, I've only been reading in the anime section for these past months (Inuyasha to be more specific), so I'm waayyy behind in the L/J section! ;;
Kristinerz77: Yes, this chapter is longer, I just noticed that the last one was really really short --;; You were one of the very few who complained though! Lol

Kt: Thanks, hopefully you also liked this chapter too. I had to figure out a way to show you their history, when I thought, "hey, what about a couple of diary entries?" So yea =) And yes, you will see a couple of more entries from Lily's diary in the upcoming chapters.
lilyZWnam77: Wow, two in the morning? LoL, that's the time I usually sleep xD And about the long time it takes for me to update? Hopefully I won't suffer a writer's block like that again. ;;

And yes, the way Ethan and Lily got together was really unromantic, not to mention totally odd xD As for Sirius, I'm glad you liked him! I also have to find a way to include Remus and ahem Peter soon. James is still totally cool, he seemed really soft in this chapter, huh? I have to be careful not to make him too soft though. =P

Singer: LoL, thanks for your review! Yes, I will incorporate a lot of genres in my fic… some chapters will be overloaded with fluff and humor, others (such as this one and the previous one) will be more serious and realistic. Hopefully I balance all them out and it will all work out in the end. =)
Jessica: Wow, I don't have the ending to the entire story yet! Lol =D It would be really cool if I did, but as for now, nothing is certain yet ; )
PVBookworm: Yes, hopefully this chapter gave you much more insight. And I know that Ethan is really boring, lol. Perhaps we'll know Lily's reason in a future chapter? =)

Clyana: Sigh That's just James isn't it? = I hope I'm not portraying him as too much of a playboy, but he still does have feelings for Lily deep down. He also cares for Ameile but not in a romantic way. The future chapters will hopefully explain all these conflicts. Thanks for your review!
Jasmine: Hey, Jas, thanks mucho for your reviews xD Don't rub it in though! Lol. But thanks lots for your inputs and stuff, they really do help! Oh, don't forget.. you still need to send me the pix from the dance! =P

Vamperfly: Well, yes indeed, our dear Lilykins did (or does? =O ) have feelings for James, ever since Hogwarts. M-hmm, well this chapter definitely gave a bigger insight into their relationship. Do tell me what you think!
Dimpi: Oh, well, at least you like Ameile sometimes! Eheheh, so many people hate her totally, so if you like her sometimes, that's good enough for me! And yes, at least I was able to fit in Sirius.. now where can I fit in Remus? Hm…
