"Hey, how are you today?" Lily asked softly as she ran over to hug James.
"Really well!"
"That's so good, baby!" she replied, squeezing James' hand.
James was in shock. No, that was an understatement. Did she just- Seriously?! "Aw, thanks! Poppy says I'll be out of here in no time. Then we can hang out at Hogsmeade together, and down to the park to-"
Lily glanced at the large clock face above the hospital bed. "Oh, is that really the time? Must dash! What time you out...?"
"In around a week..."
"Hey! You said that last month," she cut in, accusingly.
"Uhm, yeah, but this time Poppy means it."
"See you soon," Lily bent down, lightly kissed James on the cheek and bolted to DADA.
"Bye...?" James half-asked, half-muttered, but Lily was already out of earshot.
"Hello, Lils! I' doing really well. Shame my, uh, leg needs some more work."
"James! It's fine! As long as you're OK, I'm happy. I'm so glad you are getting better."
He smiled, and asked, "Are Marlene, Alice and Mary coming over?"
"Yeah, what about the rest of the Marauders?"
"Yay! You finally used the name. Also, no. Siri's come over once or twice. Remus is here three times a month," James slowed down and gasped. What had he just done? Now Lily could know all about Remus' furry little problem. But, fortunately, Lily seemed unfazed and grinned.
"That's so nice of him! He used to share his books with me, so I already knew he was kind."
"Used to, eh?"
"Oh, well he still does. Speaking of that, I need to return Pride and Prejudice to him! Ooh! I should read it to you, get your poor leg better."
"Um, yeah. I thought-"
"Yes, but I didn't have any space left."
James nodded along. Whatever. He didn't care about that! James knew he had to get better ... and fast!
Uh! Shortie! But next time is a medium (so I got like a list of ideas and wrote how long the chapter should be for each of them) so watch out for it! xx
Also I have this super funny line for another/later in the fic that I got from my BFF at a sleepover (we were telling each other Jily fics we had read and then made them up)
.
"I was- was- was kinda reserving it..."
"What is this? A restaurant?! You've got a platter of girls, James, why don't you just go and serve them at your little restaurant?"
.
And this funny one (Lily and James being locked into a room with each other)
.
"Oh my God are you crazy? 30 hours? Are you going insane? They can't fall in love in that time! We need to make it 50! And Sirius, don't forget we have to make them fall in love, so we better add an extra 20!"
"Are you telling me we're going to lock them in a room for 70 hours?"
"Yeah!"
"You sure? Best be on the safe side, 80?"
"90."
"Deal."
.
GOLD. Oh, yum, watermelon. Byeeee xx
