LILY KILLED JILY, or did she?
CHAPTER 5:
"Now?" Sirius was impatient.
"Now."
The potion was ready. Lily brought it up to the stag, Sirius took the cauldron from her hurriedly and put it on the floor,
"So are you sure it'll cure the wound?"
"I am positive." She smiled crookedly.
"How much time will it take?" Peter asked her.
"A few hours, I suppose." Lily stood up. "I gather, you'll let the deer out? I am going to bed."
Sirius thought she smiled weirdly but right now was not the time to think about it. The wound was going to heal, in a few hours, Prongs's pains were going to be over.
"Come on, Jamesy, look at me." Sirius was looking at a very pale looking James.
He had just transformed back, the potion had drained all his energy. His eyes were shadowed and looked heavy. He was looking weak. He was still in pain. Peter was sitting near Sirius, he looked scared. Lily stood by the door and looked at all of them. This friendship and friend circle amazed her so much. they were there for each other, no matter what happened.
But the pain was not over for young James yet. The potion she made would hurt him, before healing. It was very effective but was very painful. It was a painful process. Lily couldn't watch so she slowly went back to the common room.
"Ahhhh," James screamed as his face screwed up.
He was screaming in extreme pain, the screams echoed, Lily wished she could do something, but she couldn't. It was supposed to be this way.
"James, Prongs, Prongs, it's okay,It'll be okay..." Sirius was constantly trying to soothe him, but it was like as if the wound was on fire.
"Who are we kidding?" Peter said slowly. "She knows this is James, and she hates him."
"Don't be a prat!" James snapped through his wound bleeding, which was now showing on his human form. It was getting smaller. But slowly and not to mention painfully.
The Marauders, were back together at breakfast the next day, James and Remus looked pale and a little ill. All of them had dark rims under their eyes. All of them were whispering and talking about something. Lily looked over, again and again, she was glad James was okay. She smiled.
"Hi,"
Lily's smile turned upside down, as she saw Mary join the Marauders, by sitting next to James.
"Hey,"
"James, want to go to Hogsmeade with me?"
They had forgotten about the free weekend they had, being OWL'S students they could go to Hogsmeade every week if they wanted.
"No, Mary, I think I'll sleep in, I'm really tired, but what about a dinner?"
"Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Not much."
"Why not? You went to bed, before I did, at like 10 O clock."
"I was out, in the grounds, plus I couldn't sleep."
"Okay!" Mary was convinced, she didn't see Lily come in that night either.
'James was running after Lily for five years, he just stops to date me, and forgets about her totally. I don't think so.' Mary's mind came to a conclusion what seemed obvious to her.
"What were you doing in the grounds?"
"Nothing."
"Really, you stayed out and you did nothing." Mary scoffed.
"Yes, I did nothing." James felt his temper rising, 'Why was she being so paranoid? Everyone knows I am "upto something" '
"Well, I don't buy it." Mary walked out of the great hall.
"What's her problem?" Sirius voiced what all of them were thinking. Even Lily.
James walked after her, he didn't wanted to. But he had to. He was tired and sleepy and a little cranky. He was feeling a little tinkle of of anger wanting to burst out. He took a deep breath, he had a jealous and suspicious girlfriend to deal with.
