A/N: At the time of writing this, I have received one review for the last chapter. Thank you so very much, it is greatly appreciated. I'll make you a deal. If I get seven reviews for this chapter, I'll update by Wednesday pr Thursday. If I get less then that, I will add two days for every review less. And if you think your review doesn't count, IT DOES!
Disclaimer: Ha, as if. If I were rich, I would so be like skiing in aspen or something. I have no money since I don't own the Harry Potter Books.
Dedication: Hmmm, to…every single person who knows what it feels like to be a girl. In short, all girls.
I didn't sleep at all that night. All I did was toss and turn back and forth. I finally fell asleep around five in the morning, so I only had a few hours of sleep. When I got up, I yawned widely and got dressed. Kelsey was in a bad mood since she couldn't get her cloak fastened over her stomach; when I left she was shrieking.
In the common room, David was nowhere to be seen. Matt, David's brother, was waiting for me though.
"Hey Lily, what did you and David fight about anyway? He wouldn't tell me, but all night he was tossing and turning. He finally fell asleep, and he is still in bed." Matt said, and I sighed. I told him the whole story. Shaking his head, he went back to his dorm to wake David up and I went to DADA with Tyler.
Tyler could tell that I was tired, but I didn't care. The first thing I did was put my head down, and next thing I knew, I was lying in white sheets. I looked around quizzically. Tess was standing with Tucker, holding something out for me.
"What happened?" I asked, and Tess rolled her eyes.
"You fell asleep, that's what! They levitated you to the hospital wing, and now Madam Pomfrey is convinced that you are suffering from some weird illness… Good luck with her. Oh ya, this is from David." She said, holding out the package again.
I took it and opened it. Inside was a photo album. As I looked through it, I could feel myself almost crying. There were pictures that I hadn't seen in forever, even some that I had never seen at all. They started out from when my Dad started Hogwarts, then my mum worked into them. They ran all the way through now.
Tess had left by the time I was done. Before I had a chance to read the inscription in the back, I heard the door. It was David.
I hastily set the album on my bed stand and pretended to still be asleep. David came over and sat next to me. I tried my best to look asleep.
He lifted my hand and held it. He started talking to me, still thinking that I was asleep and couldn't hear him.
"I'm so sorry Lils. I never, ever meant to hurt you like this… you had already been hurt by Flint then I go and break you heart… I'm sorry. I did not kiss Marissa, but she kissed me. I'm sure you heard from Tess that it lasted a second or two before I pushed her off, but I was surprised. I know you can't hear me, but I Love you more then anyone on this earth. I would never do anything to hurt you. I'm sorry, Baby, I'm sorry." He said, his voice breaking slightly.
I squeezed my eyes open a tiny bit to I could see his face. He was looked like he was going to cry, and I felt so bad for being mad, but I wasn't going to let my guard down. We were still fighting. He reached up and kissed my hand, then left. I pondered what he had said. He had called me Baby. He's never called me that before.
I picked up the album and read the inscription. Well, tried to is a better word for it. It was all these symbols that I didn't understand. I set the book back on the desk and waited for Madam Pomfrey to be done examining me.
I was out of the hospital wing at dinnertime and I was very glad. After I was done eating, I went and found Kelsey, Tess, Tucker and Tyler all at one table in the library. Tyler looked up when I came in, and his face brightened.
"All better then?" he said, smiling. I nodded. I went and sat next to him and Tess. Kelsey was looking through a book of baby names, and Tucker was reading a book very fast. Tess smiled at me, and gave a large pile of homework that I missed. Tyler added to the pile. I groaned and started to work on it.
David came into the library, accompanied by Matt. I looked up and did a double take. I hadn't seen them together for a long time. Oh, by the way, Sirius's band went out the window when I was raped. Anyway, they looked a lot alike. I hastily bent down over my work when they came my way.
Matt went and sat next to Kelsey, and they began going through the name book together. David stood behind me, his shadow on my book.
"Lily, please, can we talk?" He asked pleadingly.
I opened my mouth to say no, we're over, but then Tess nudged me a little bit. I looked at her. She gave me a tiny nod, so I decided to chance talking to him.
"All right" I replied grudgingly.
So we walked. He led me to some deserted corridor.
"Listen, Lils. I love you so much and I'm sorry I did all this to you. I never meant for this to happen." He said, sounding sad.
"Y-You believed Marissa over me! How could you do that?" I said, my voice cracking as I choked back a sob. A few tears spilled over. David stepped forward to comfort me, but I backed away.
"Lily, I'm sorry! Okay, that's all I can say. I'm sorry." He said, softly.
I looked up at him, his face so full of pleading ness for me to forgive him. I wanted to so much to forgive him, but now, looking into his eyes for the first time in about a week, I knew it wouldn't be that easy for him.
I looked at my hands, and he seemed to understand what I was thinking.
"What can I do to get you to forgive me?" he said softly again. I looked up at him, trying to decide what to say.
"You do something you think that I would like." I told him finally.
All weekend, David tried to do things to get me to forgive me. He sent me flowers, he sent me notes, he went and got the books I needed without me even saying I needed them. None of it was good though. It was all something that a normal boyfriend might do on a lot. I wanted something different. On Monday morning, I got something different.
When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was that there were flower petals all around my bed. There was some stiffer ones mixed in, and I picked it up. In swirly writing, it said, I love Lily Potter. Love, David Malfoy. I laughed. I swung my feet out into what I thought was a petal free environment.
Well, it wasn't. It was covered in petals. There were red ones and white ones and pink ones, and some orange and yellow mixed in here and there. It was awesome. I thought that was all, but I was wrong again. The common room was full of them. I watched people picking them up and reading them, laughing, and setting them back down.
I walked over to the portrait hole, grinning. David was waiting there for me.
"See this? It's all for you. It took me all night, but it was worth seeing you so happy, even if you don't forgive me." He said, smiling like he thought this wouldn't be enough.
It was. Seeing him smile, even if it was a sad smile, and hearing him say those words made my heart melt. I hugged him hard. He stepped back slightly in surprise, but he hugged me to. He ran his hand through my hair, hugging me as hard as he could back. This was wonderful.
We walked down to breakfast together and had a nice little chat about trusting each other. He had his arm around me, and he even jinxed Alex when Alex called me a slut. I was so wrapped up in David I didn't even notice Marissa scowling at us.
In transfiguration, I did really well. I could concentrate again, but only in the beginning. Tess could tell that I was really happy, and so could everyone else. I had been sulking all week and now I was all happy. Tyler actually told me to concentrate so I could do my work, this time because I was so happy, not sad.
I just grinned at him and hugged him. His cheeks went slightly red, but all he said was, "Don't let David see you doing that."
I laughed. "Me and David had a little talk about trusting each other, so it's okay. Besides, I'm free to hug whoever I want." I told him, smiling. I was in to good of a mood to let anything bother me.
My mood lasted until after dinner, when I had to tackle the mountain of homework that I had let fall behind. Plus the weekend coming up was the third Quiditch match. I had practices three nights that week, so it was hard doing all the homework. I would be glad when the game was over and I could get back to a normal routine of a practice a week.
On Saturday morning, it dawned bright and cold. The whole team walked down to the pitch together. James was gabbing about our chances to win the cup, but I wasn't listening. I knew it was my job to grab the snitch and that was all. Well, get it fast, but still.
As we flew up, I searched around for it; I saw it nowhere. The other seeker was looking to. I didn't even hear the commentary going on around me. All I knew was that suddenly, there the snitch was. I zoomed after it, faster and faster, until, YES! I caught it. A split second later, it all went black.
"Isn't this her fourth or fifth hospital wing visit this year?"
"That bludger was hit after the final whistle, the beater should be expelled.
"Madam Pomfrey says there might be some damage, I guess we will see."
I heard all these words. I opened my eyes and squinted around. My head hurt a LOT, and there were a lot of people I didn't know standing around. A woman with red hair noticed I was awake.
"Hey honey, how you feeling?" she said softly, stroking my hair. I was rather taken aback by this. A woman who I didn't even know was stroking my hair. A man with black hair came over to.
"Hey kiddo, what's up?" he said, sitting on the end of my bed. I looked around. There was a girl with long black hair, and boy with black hair, a boy with dark brown hair, a girl with long blonde hair, and another boy with light brown hair. I didn't know any of them, but they all seemed to know me.
A woman in a nursing uniform came bustling up. Seeing that I was awake, she came bustling over.
"Tut, Tut. A bludger straight at your head, it's a wonder you didn't get more injured then you did. You're a lucky one, you are." She muttered darkly. She handed me a cup of potion, which I guess I was supposed to drink. I did; it was gross.
The room came into slightly sharper view. A few things cleared in my head. That woman with red hair… she was my mum! And that man with black hair was my dad. I looked at everyone else. The girl with long black hair looked really familiar, as did the girl with blonde hair. The boys didn't look familiar at all. I looked over at the one with light brown hair. He grinned.
I looked around at everyone around me one more time. I had no idea who the boys were. I couldn't remember anything about them. In fact, I could barely remember anything at all!
A/N: Oh No! Poor Lily has lost her memory… oh well, lets see what happens. Oh yes, and about the Alex character. He only acts the way he does because he is so jealous. And remember, your review does count. SEVEN REVIEWS! I don't even care if they are all from the same person, I would just like seven of them.
