Sorry 'bout another long wait. Enjoy

The next morning, James just didn't feel right. Something in the pit of his stomach made him feel like he forgot

something. He woke up at ten o'clock and Lily was sniffling next to him. Suddenly, he held his hand to his mouth

and ran to the bathroom. After emptying the contents of his stomach, he slowly made his way back to the

bedroom. Lily had wrapped a blanket around herself and had a box of tissues next to her. She looked at him

with watery eyes. "Guess you're sick too," she said. James slowly nodded (since his head hurt). Together, the

two of them called the places where they worked and said that they were sick and couldn't come in for a few

days. Once Lily hung up, she sneezed and suddenly there was a roasted chicken on the table. "Where did that

come from," James asked trying not to look at it. She sneezed again and it was gone. James sneezed now and

Lily's hair went from long and red to short and purple. "Maybe it's some kind of magical flu," he said. "Fix it,"

she said between coughing. He tried but nothing happened. "Guess we should call the guys," James said

reaching for the phone. Before he got there, they appeared inside with books in their hands and looked slowly at

Lily. "What happened," Remus asked walking over. "Flu," they both said. They both sneezed at the same time

and Remus' clothes changed from black to bright blue. "Sorry, but we can't control it," Lily said wiping her nose.

Remus changed his clothes back while Sirius walked over to the fireplace. "Glad Albus connected you to the

network," he said throwing some sort of powder into a fire he started. "Come on guys, get into bed," Remus

said pushing them into their room. "Headmaster, Hogwarts school," Sirius called. He stuck his head inside and

saw him sitting at his desk. "Albus." The man looked over and saw Sirius in the fire. "What is it, Sirius?" "It's

them sir. They seem to have gotten that weird Magic Flu. Whenever they sneeze they do some sort of spell."

"Very well. Would you like me to send Poppy?" "Would it be okay to tell her?" "Yes, she wouldn't do anything."

"Very well, send her right over." Sirius stepped away and waited for her.

Remus was currently tucking the both of them into bed and conjuring some tea. "Have you ever heard of

anything like this," James asked. "Yes, actually I had it in our 4th year with interesting side-effects. I gave it to all

of you and we almost couldn't get out of bed for a week. The only thing we had to amuse ourselves with in our

room was the chess board and ourselves. Needless to say, we all had a pretty good bonding week." "So, we'll

get over it again, right?" "Sure, it's just like the regular one. Your body just needs to get it out of its system."

"Guess we'll need to wait a bit before starting lessons," Lily said blowing her nose. "That's fine," he said just

before she let out a loud sneeze.

Poppy finally arrived to see Sirius doing a crossword puzzle. "What kept you," he asked filling in a word. "I

needed to make sure that Albus had been telling the truth," she said putting her bag down. "Oh yeah, it's true.

Come on." He got up and led her to the bedroom. "Stupid Magic flu," Remus was saying as the two laughed.

"Having an identity crisis mate," Sirius asked. Since Lily sneezed, Remus was wearing a long flowery dress,

matching high heels and tons of makeup. "I feel like the Boggart Snape," he said changing things back to normal.

Madame Pompfry gave a small cough and the two men came to attention. "For now you can leave this to me,"

she said. She went inside and shut the door and locked it. "What do you want to do now," Remus asked.

"Crossword puzzle," Sirius said and ran to the one he was working on. "I'll never figure out how you can be so

good at crossword puzzles and be so horrible with spelling words like cat." "One time mate. It was only once,

let it go."

When Poppy first saw them, she almost wanted to cry. Oh, how she remembered all of those times when James

would have to stay overnight after getting into a fight or after a Quidditch match. Lily would usually get many

colds and would always come for some Pepperup Potion. "Good afternoon Miss," Lily said courteously blowing

her nose (again). "And how are the two of you today," she asked putting her bag down and rummaging through

it. "How do you think we are," James asked. He seemed to be fighting the urge to throw up again. Poppy took

out her wand and used a few spells to figure out the right way to help them. "What was your name again," Lily

asked. "Madame Pompfry but since you are no longer students you may call me Poppy." She put the wand

away and took out two small vials. "So, what's the verdict?" "Well Potter's you have the Magical Flu. It's a

curious little disease that affects most so it's nothing to worry about. You're just going to need to drink this

potion (she motioned to the two bottles) and you'll be better within a day or two." She gave them a smile and

was about to leave again when Lily stopped her. "You work at Hogwarts right?" "Yes, I'm the resident nurse."

"Our son goes there. Have you seen him recently? His name is Harry." Poppy stopped in her tracks. "You don't

see him often do you," Lily asked trying to get up. "Oh no, sure every so often but no." James looked her right in

the eyes. "You're lying." Both women looked at him. "When was the last time?" Lily looked back at Poppy to

see her quite red. She opened her mouth when Sirius opened the door with Remus right behind them.

"Everything all set," Sirius asked. "Yes," Poppy said briskly. She snapped her bag shut and went for the door.

"Just make sure that they take those potions and get plenty of rest and fluids." As soon as she got to the

fireplace, she grabbed the floo powder and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What was that all about," Remus asked. Sirius and Remus both watched her go. "Has our son often been in the

Infirmary," Lily asked. Sirius almost choked as they slowly turned to face the angry sick people. "Why would

the school nurse lie about our son?" "What do you mean lie," Remus asked. "I mean her eyes told us when she

said that she saw him every so often, that she was almost like fighting the urge to yell and or say something,"

James said. "Oh come on," Sirius said sitting in a chair. "He goes about as often as any kid. Actually scratch that

he's your kid and he plays Quidditch so he goes about as often as you yourself did James," Remus said. They

were about to protest when Sirius picked up the bottles of potion. "Time to take the medicine," he said in a sing-

song voice. He conjured two spoons, poured it inside and floated them over to their mouths and let them fall in.

James was about to say how disgusted he was when he began to feel really tired. The two of them fell asleep

right away. "Wow, strong stuff," Sirius said. Remus motioned for them to leave so they did. "Should we stay and

take care of them," Remus asked. "I have a better idea. Why don't we just put special charms on the building

and it'll tell us where they are going and if someone comes near their place for any reason," Sirius said taking out

his wand. "Are you sure this is allowed?" "Sure it is. And these days you can never be so sure when Death

Eaters might come in." He waved his wand in intricate patterns and finally after twenty minutes they finished and

apparated away.
