I own no one apart from melissa but no one cares bout her anyways
-----------I could have-------------
"Am I in heaven?" I asked groggily as I attempted to sit up. I couldn't open my eyes properly; all I could see was a bright light.
"Nope, just the school hospital wing" I could hear a voice say, whose voice I couldn't quite decipher at the moment.
"Lily?" I asked, knowing full well it wasn't Lily at all, maybe just hoping that she had decided she was actually in love with me and had changed her voice in the past 2 hours.
"No" The person whispered, she (I could tell by the feminism of the voice) must have had her hand under my head because as soon as I said this she must have taken her hand away and I fell back on the bed I was lying in without any support.
"Who are you?" I asked still a bit on the groggy side.
"Melissa, you know the one who made a complete fool of herself in class, over…you" She chuckled slightly before sighing and resting her hand on my forehead.
"What happened?"
"Well you were about to get crushed beneath a shelf 17 times your own weight but…" She stopped for some reason, my vision was getting better and I could see a faint outline of her.
"You saved me"
"I wouldn't call it that…" She stopped again, "I would call it more a selfless and dangerous act of heroism"
I knew, even under the influence of some kind of potion, that she was trying hard to impress me, she made it sound as thought I owed my life to her. And hey I suppose in some ways I did.
"Thanks" I said grinning, I could finally make out her face and wow was she amazing. I don't know why I didn't like her, and then I remembered Lily's face.
That's why I didn't like her…
"Your welcome" She said smiling. Damn her teeth were so white…and perfectly straight.
"So…can I go back to my dorm now?" I asked starting to sit up.
"Err, I'm not sure, Madame Pomphrey was pretty worried about you, you had an awful fall when you fainted"
"But I feel f- ahh!" as I got to the sitting up position I felt a great pain in my side, then a pain almost like my head was splitting in half.
"Hey, lie back down" Melissa said supporting my head as she lay me back down.
"Thanks…again" I mumbled.
"No problem"
"So do any of my friends no I'm here?"
"I'm not that sure…you've been here for about 3 hours though"
"THREE HOURS!"
"Yep…you were unconscious for most of the time too"
"Oh Merlin! I didn't know I was unconscious!"
She giggled slightly then adjusted my pillow for me.
"Didn't you dream anything then?" She asked her eyes shining brightly.
"Nope…and I'm glad, I've had enough of dreams to last me a lifetime" She looked at me curiously and was just about to open her mouth to speak when I saw Sirius running down the infirmary towards me.
"James mate we've been worried sick…well Remus and Peter have" Sirius said breathlessly as he rested his hand on my bed stand.
"Thanks for that, so am I to take it that you weren't worried?"
"Course I wasn't, since when do I ever have to worry about you James?"
"Good point" I said attempting to grin but stopping because it had started to hurt my jaw.
"So, you saved my main man then Mel? He owes you a lot" Sirius smirked then gave her a small wink, just one small flick of his eye lid. How much I just wanted to swing a punch at him at that moment, but it hurt to even lift my arm.
"Nah, not really I just did the thing any person would have done"
Sirius raised his eyebrow, he was thinking, (and I know this), how could this girl be so blonde? I was literally waving James in front of her and she still didn't take the bait. I smiled slightly at the fault in his plan.
I saw Madame Pomphrey hustling over to my bed side; she placed a small cup of something green looking on my little table and with one sharp look at my friends she hustled back off again.
"Gross James that looks like phlegm!" Sirius said disgusted as he swished round the funny liquid in the cup.
"Thanks" I muttered eyes dark and serious looking.
"Your welcome mate…what did I do again?"
"Never mind Sirius" He shrugged then started talking animatedly to Remus who was standing next to him.
"I brought you some Bertie Botts every flavoured beans James"
"Wow thanks Peter" I took the box and tore it open; to find that half were missing.
"Oh yeah, I did get a little hungry on the way up here, sorry about that" He mumbled blushing slightly and shuffling his feet.
"That's ok mate, thanks for the thought" I smiled and he smiled, a really wide smile, he resembled almost a child at Christmas.
"So how are you feeling now James?" Melissa asked feeling my forehead.
"A lot better thanks. There's only one thing that would make this better" I said.
"What? What is it; I mean I can get it for you if you like?"
"Lily" I said softly.
The poor girl turned the same green as the potion I was about to swallow. She muttered something weak about having to feed her spider and quickly hurried out of the wing.
"Prongs you plonker why'd you do that for!"
"What?" I put on an innocent face.
"Don't play innocent with me; you know exactly what you've done"
"No I don't! I'm serious!"
"No I'm Sirius" He chuckled slightly forgetting to shout at me.
"Oh ha-ha Sirius that jokes about as old as your grandmother and she's been around for donkeys years!"
He scowled a little at me while Remus and Peter laughed heartily with each other.
"Well that's the last time I come to see you in pain" Sirius said and strutted off in the same direction as Melissa had just moments before.
The rest of us were still laughing by the time he left so we didn't attempt to call him back.
"So anyway what were you doing playing with the shelf anyway?" Remus asked wiping a tear from his eye.
"Well I thought I was in there alone but I heard something, so naturally I went to investigate it. I was getting really stressed out that it was hiding from me that I punched the shelf. Then I woke up in Melissa Cook's arms"
"Wow…I know a lot of people who would love to be the main character of that story" Remus said stroking his chin.
I nodded slightly then picked up the glass and with one swift move drank and swallowed the greeny yellowy goo.
"Argh, that is some NASTY stuff" I grimaced swigging some water from another glass on my bed side.
Remus and Peter went into another fit of childish giggles and sat them selves on the side of my bed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was getting really psyched because I was told I didn't have to attend class's tomorrow and then suddenly I was as psyched as you could get because in the morning as I was waking up and getting ready for a day of lazing around I saw my beloved Lily walking into the infirmary and taking a seat on one of the beds opposite me.
"Here you go Miss Evans you take this and try to get some sleep" I could hear Pomphrey say handing Lily an orange fluid. Hey how comes she got orange and I got a snotty green colour, life sucks like that sometimes.
Lily looked really tired and as soon as she had taken the potion she stirred a little then fell straight back on her pillow. It must have been some kind of sleeping potion, or she was just really sleepy.
This cheesed me off a little because I was hoping to have a nice cosy chat with her but then again she didn't like me much at the moment anyway.
I sat quietly for a while before hearing a small cough.
I jolted my head in the direction of the noise hoping it was Lily awake but all I saw was a painting.
I eyed it and noticed that there was a person now sitting in it were as before it was empty. My eyes flashed across the wall and I noticed that there was another person in the portrait next to it.
"Oh hello there Gertrude, didn't spot you there"
"Hello Jebediah, nice morning isn't it?"
"A spiffing morning Gerty, in fact I was hoping to have a small game of badminton over in Lord Worthington's frame later on"
"That sounds Joyous my dear, maybe I could pop over for a visit also"
"I'm sure there is enough tea to go around, why don't you"
I was watching the portraits with fascination, of course I had seen the paintings move, but never had I seen them, in all my 5 years at Hogwarts, hold a conversation about Tea and Badminton.
They continued their conversation with out noticing my fascinated expression, they then went on to a discussion on the colour beige.
"I've never like for the colour myself, but I must say it suits Lady Bosworth very well, you know with her complexion"
"Yes I agree fully my dear, she looks a million sickles in it doesn't she?"
"Indeed she does"
This was such a random topic of conversation but I was that bored that I found it extremely intriguing.
The clock struck 12 and it rung through the whole castle, I covered my ears and watched as the paintings on the wall shook slightly.
"Ahh 12 o'clock, funny time 12 o'clock"
"I totally agree my dear 12 o'clock doesn't come round very often now does it?"
"Nope, hardly ever"
How the hell I found this interesting is beyond me, but hey this is me we're talking about, I find the strangest things amazing. Take Peter for instance (laughs inwardly).
So anyway moving back to the real story, I was just about to drift off into my own sleepy spell when I saw Lily's head lift slowly from her pillow.
"Lily" I breathed.
And scene...
