Lily ran through the halls, avoiding people. She ran up and down various stairs. She had been running for nearly ten minutes when she ran to a door and went through it. Then she ran up the steps that she came to as she entered the room. She realized that she was in a tower. When she reached the top of the stairs and entered the room, she recognized it as the tower she and Sirius had been in Christmas last year when he professed his feelings to her.
She took off the cloak and set it on a seat. She looked out the window to see the most beautiful sight she had ever seen. Lily's eyes were losing their focus. She had been weak from using her powers and then she had run for ten minutes. Lily closed her eyes and fainted, falling to the ground.
Though it was noticed they weren't in class, nobody found Remus till after all the classes were over. As soon as their last class was over, James, Sirius, and Rini had gone straight to the Common Room. Rini entered first and saw Remus on the floor. "Remus!" she cried as she ran over and started shaking him. "Remus wake up! What's wrong with him?"
"Rini, stop panicking!" Sirius said. "Come on. We've got to get him to Madam Pomfrey."
So James and Sirius picked Remus up and started to carry him when Rini said, "Mobilus Corpus." They looked at her. "See? I'm not panicking." So they got Remus to the hospital wing.
"What on earth happened to him?" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed
"We don't know," Sirius said. "We found him in the Common Room like this."
Madam Pomfrey started looking for some sign as to what had done this. She saw a whole in Remus's robes in the stomach. "Oh no," she whispered. Then she looked at the three and asked, "Where's Miss Evans?"
"Lily?" Rini asked. "We don't know. We haven't seen either of them since lunch. You don't think she did this, do you?"
"I'm afraid she did," Madam Pomfrey said solemnly. "Look here," and she held out the robes for them to see. They gasped at the whole in the robes. "I need you to look for her. She was probably panicked after she did this, so you must look everywhere for her. "Not only that, she is very weak. She might even be unconscious somewhere."
The three nodded and went off. "I'm going to check to see if my cloak's missing," James said. Sirius and Rini said okay and split up to start searching for Lily.
It was nearly seven. Sirius had come to the tower where Lily had kissed him in their first year. Thinking she might have somehow wandered here, her opened the door and went up the stairs. Reaching the top, he saw Lily lying in the middle on the floor. He ran over to her, started shaking her and calling her name.
"Lily! Lily!" Lily heard someone calling her name. It sounded so far away. Then she realized that someone was shaking her. Slowly, she opened her eyes. Her vision was still blurry. In front of her was a guy with dark hair. James immediately jumped into her head.
She grabbed Sirius into a hug and kissed him. "I'm so sorry!" she said. "I never meant to hurt you or Remus!" She kissed him again and it was returned. "I'm sorry, James. I love you so much!"
Sirius loosened his grip on her. "Lily, I'm not James. I'm Sirius."
"No, you can't be!" Lily exclaimed. Slowly her vision became to focus and she saw Sirius's dark eyes. "Oh, Sirius! I'm so sorry! I'm such a terrible person! Leave me here and let me die! Just leave me! I can't hurt anyone else if I'm dead." she cried. Lily turned away and curled into a ball on the floor.
Sirius walked over and picked up the invisibility cloak. Then he went and picked Lily up. "No!" she whimpered. "Just leave me be to die in peace."
"I won't leave you to die, Lily," Sirius said with determination as he left the tower. Lily closed her eyes as silent tears ran down her cheeks. As Sirius was walking to the hospital wing, Lily went completely limp and became a dead weight in his arms.
When he reached the hospital wing, James and Rini had already returned. To his surprise, Professor Cauldro was also there. "Thank the Gods that you found her!" the professor exclaimed when she saw them. She took Lily from Sirius's arms and laid her on a bed away from Remus.
Sirius motioned for James to come out into the hall with him. When they got to the hall, Sirius turned around and said, "It's more serious than you think."
"Where'd you find Lily and how could it be more serious than Lily being driven to use her powers on Remus?" James demanded.
"I found her in the south tower. James, when I woke her up, I couldn't believe what she said to me."
"Why'd you have to wake her up?" James asked concerned. "And what did she say?"
"Well, when I found her she was out cold. So I woke her. Something must have been wrong with her vision. She hugged kissed me and said she was sorry; that she never meant to hurt you or Remus. Then she said that she loved you. When I told her that I wasn't you she became even more distraught. She said she was a terrible person and told me to just leave her there to die."
James turned around and punched the wall. "This is all my fault!" he yelled.
"James, how is it your fault?"
"Because I can tell you now that they were having an argument about Lily and me."
"You don't know that for sure. Now lets go have Madam Pomfrey fix your hand."
James looked down at his hand and saw it bleeding. He nodded and went into the room to have Madam Pomfrey work her medical magic.
Sirius told Professor Cauldro what he had told James in more detail. James sat down beside Lily's bed and grasped her hand. Madam Pomfrey tried to shoo them from the wing but Professor Cauldro insisted that if they wanted to stay they could stay. She conjured up a plate of sandwiches and a flagon of pumpkin juice and three cups for James, Rini, and Sirius. Sirius and Rini ate while James sat beside Lily, holding her hand.
"James, buddy, you've got to eat something," Sirius told him around eight.
"I'm fine!" James would answer whenever someone would tell him to eat. At around ten that night, Sirius and Rini left the hospital wing.
Sorry if I made Lily seem really weak in this chapter. I was trying to make her extremely distraught and I may have overdone it just a little bit. I hope you enjoyed it, though.
Love ya! Amoura
