Chapter 11: The Jacket.

I needed someone to feed
I guess you're just what I needed
(just what I needed)
I needed someone to bleed
Yeah, yeah, so bleed me

You're just what I needed
You're just what I needed
Yeah, you're just what I needed
Yeah, yeah yeah
(Just what I needed-The Cars)

While Remus and Severus were on the roof, James and Sirius were on hot pursuit of Regulus.

"Here it is." Sirius said when they reached the classroom. No one was around.

"Check the closet!" Sirius said quickly and James opened the closet door; Lily's body fell out into James's opened arms.

"Oh no!" James cried out and holding her, he checked her pulse. "She's only unconscious. Thank god!" James choked.
"Wake her up then. But Regulus is gone." Sirius said through gritted teeth.
"Enerviate!" James said and Lily's eyes flew open.
"Where am I?" she asked shakily.

"Don't worry everything is fine." James soothed.
"What…how did…did…something hit me!" Lily moaned.
"Don't worry, Lil." James held her for a moment then,
"Would…would you be able to make it to the hospital wing on your own." Sirius asked softly.

"…Yes…yes I can." Lily smiled, "Thank you." She got up from James's arms and started on her way.
"Why did you tell her that?" James demanded.
"Cause we have to find my brother! I know why he came here." Sirius snapped.

"Why?"

"For Snape's leather jacket." Sirius said grimly. James jumped up, "Where is he?"
Sirius looked down at the map, "According to this he's…three floors down from us!"
And so they flew down three flights of stairs.

"Hey!" Sirius called. The boy standing about five feet away from them jumped and turned.
"What?" he called back, then Regulus's face turned white.

Soon Sirius had his brother pinned against the wall and James's wand pointing at his face.
Regulus dropped the jacket he was holding, it looked like he had set it on fire; it had charred spots on it.
"Shut up!" Sirius said and his brother winced from his grip.

"Stop it! You're hurting…I'll tell mother!" Regulus whined.

"Really. Let him go Padfoot." James said to Sirius. Sirius let his brother fall against the wall panting slightly.
"There now you wont get in trouble by your mum." James said to Sirius. Then he turned to Regulus and aimed a hard kick to the chest.

"That's for Snape."
Then he aimed another kick to his chest.

"That's for Sybil."
Then Sirius pulled his brother up to a slightly standing position, and James kicked him hard in the groin.

"And that's for LILY!"
And with that he turned away from Regulus and picked up Snape's jacket.

"Oh and by the way Reggie?" James said turning back to Regulus,

"Don't ever, ever tell anyone!" then James spit in Regulus's face and sent a spell at him, BANG!
He and Sirius ran away.

"We have to get to…Lily!" James panted.

"DUH!" Sirius said.

They ran until they hit the hospital wing. They banged open the doors and ran to the office at the end of the ward.
Lily was sitting on a bed talking to the matron madam Pomfrey and Prof. McGonagall.
Once they reached the bed Prof. McGonagall turned to them, "Don't worry she told us everything."
James and Sirius stared with their mouths hanging open, "HUH?" James said sounding confused.

"But where is Remus?" madam Pomfrey asked looking over the boys shoulders.

"He went to search for Snape!"

"WHAT!" Prof. McGonagall shouted causing everyone to jump.

Then the doors of the hospital wing flew open and Prof. Dumbledore was striding into the room.

"We have a problem." He said swiftly.

Then Hagrid the games keeper of Hogwarts squeezed himself in; he was carrying something in his arms…
"Remus!" James and Sirius cried out in dismay as Hagrid lowered Lupin onto the nearest bed.

"He fell, off the roof I think." Hagrid said softly.

"That's where Snape was hiding out up there." Sirius said quickly, he, James and Lily rushed over to the bed where Remus was on.

"But where is Severus?" Dumbledore asked Hagrid quickly.

"Didn't see em."

"That's cause we got him!" said a triumphant voice from the doorway.

There stood Snape, he was green in the face and was leaning up against Kirkley. Sam and Sybil stood beside them.
"What? And leave you guys all alone! Don't think so." Sam said and they led Snape to the bed closest to Lupin's
"We found him, looking for you guys." Sybil said.

"Well know I cant have a week with out my favourite and usual patients." Madam Pomfrey said sadly as she started to tend to Remus and Snape.
