Chapter 8 3D: Death, Denial and Despair

"Leave me alone, James." Lily said dully as James knelt by her. James stopped with his hands stretched out towards her.

"What?" he asked her, wondering if he had heard her correctly.

"You heard me." She whispered softly. James looked baffled.

"I thought something happened to you. I met up with that sick gay-ass bastard and became worried." James said.

"Yeah, like meeting up with Voldemort, taking the Cruciatus Curse head on and causing him and the rest of the death eaters to flee?" Sirius asked dryly, coming up from behind them with Ally and Dasani.

"VOLDEMORT?!" James bellowed.

"THE CRUCIATUS CURSE?!" Dasani, Ally and Remus bellowed. Sirius nodded while Lily looked at the grass.

"Yes. I think he was about to cast it again when I came. Lils was really mad at him. She was about to hex him! She has reason to though, although I don't think she believes the reason herself." Sirius said, looking down at his younger friend with sympathy. His expression quickly changed because he knew the sympathy was unwanted and that Lily would bite his head off for it.

"Lily? Is this why you're sitting on the grass? Hyperventilating? And sweating?" James asked, grabbing her upper arms. Remus had sat Lily on the ground when he saw James coming and sat down next to her. Lily didn't answer her fiancée, and kept her eyes averted. Allison opened her mouth to say something, but Dasani stopped her.

"Forget it, Ally. She's not saying anything. That means it's a 'yes'." Dasani said bluntly. Lily looked up quickly, straight into her friends eyes. Dasani had a glare in her eyes as if daring her to refuse to go to the medi-tent.

"I don't need to go!? Lily said defiantly, standing up.

"Lillian Serenity Evans! You'll go to that tent if I have to carry you there or not!" Dasani said. Lily stepped up in front of her friend who happened to be at least 6 inches taller than her.

"You can't carry me." Lily said with her trademark stance, hands on her hips.

"You want to bet?" Dasani made a move to carry her petite friend, but with a hand on her shoulder from Remus and a shake of his head, she stopped.

"Let James handle it." he stated simply. While Lily was looking at Dasani with a glare, James came up behind her and lifted her into his arms.

"HEY! PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN!" Lily yelled, pounding on James' chest (A/N: poor James, don't you think?). Remus and Sirius stepped up.

"Lily, you have to go. Do you think your parents would like it if you didn't get treatment when you needed it?" Remus asked.

"Let us help you Lils. You need not go through this alone." Sirius said seriously (A/N: Sirius is being serious for once!). Lily heard them but continued to pound on James' chest, though not with as much force.

"Put me down. Put me down! Put me..." Lily trailed off and started crying really hard into James' chest.

"They're not dead, right James?" Lily whispered through her tears as he carried her to the tent.

"Who?" he asked.

"My parents." Lily's voice was barely above a whisper. James almost dropped his distraught fiancée.

"Your parents? D-dead?" he asked. They entered the tent.

"Yes sir. Mr. Black brought Lily's parents' bodies in earlier. Not thirty minutes ago." An in training medi-witch said while passing by.

"No they're not." Lily denied. The witch stopped short.

"But, Ms. Evans," she started formally. "You know they are. Mr. Black said you were the one that found them." She said.

"THEY'RE NOT DEAD!" Lily cried out. The witch looked hurt but James apologized.

"Can we get her into a bed and a potion to recover from the Cruciatus Curse?" Remus asked.

"The Cruciatus Curse?" the witch repeated.

"Yeah, young Lilyflower here had a run in with Voldemort." Sirius said. The witch winced from hearing his name, but nodded.

Five minutes later

"What do we do about Lily?" Sirius whispered.

"I don't know. She refuses to take any potion. Any treatment. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zi-"James stated rubbing his eyes under his glasses.

"I think we get the point James." Remus stopped him.

"Hey James? Lily's going to be really weak if she doesn't take the potion and let her co-workers treat her. She's in bad condition as it is. If she gets any weaker, she could be hospitalized in Mungos." Allison informed.

"I'm coming." He said.

"Us too." Remus agreed. They went into the area of the tent where Lily was sitting.

"Force it down her throat, Kay. Force it down her throat." James said firmly, striding over.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, James. No matter who she is, I'm not entitled to do that." Kay said.

James sighed. "Give me the vile. I'll do it." he sat next to Lily. "Hold her wrists Dasani."

Dasani did as she was told and Lily finally became aware of her predicament.

"Don't you dare! I'm not going to take it! You can't make me!" Lily screamed. James calmly opened her mouth and drained the contents of the potion.
