James came outside, and sat in the garden. He laid his head on grass. It was almost middle of the night. But he couldn't be in a room. Not in the dark. Not alone. Not in the closed room.
He closed his eyes. The images came back. The picture of his dead father came back. He felt the power of the illegal curse, feeling and killing him on the inside. He felt the pain come back.
"I can't do this!" He opened his eyes. It was like a living nightmare.
"James?"
It was Lily. He heard keys jingle. She had just came home.
"What are you still doing up?" She took her coat off, and hung it on the rack, "God, look at yourself, you look like a raccoon, the dark circles, the eyes are all red."
He sat on the sofa, his head in his hands.
"I can't...I can't sleep!"
"Why?" She sat next to him, "What happened?"
"I keep, I keep seeing." He said, looking up. "All the horrible things I could vision during the curse. All of it, as soon as I close my eyes, I see it." He took a deep breath, "My parents, and all of the horrible and terrible things I remember!"
"Oh my God!" She said, "Do you think, it is an after effect?"
"Maybe!" James ran his hand on a cushion, distractedly. "Or maybe It is because I have so much free time, I think I'll go back to work tomorrow!"
"Are you crazy?" She asked impatiently, "It is not happening, you just went through a terrible experience, you should rest. And have fun a little, go for a vacation, somewhere."
She tried to convince him,
"I can't Lil!" James was looking sadder then eve, "I have to get myself busy, and I can't stay alone, I want to get out of the house,"
"Okay, okay!" She held his hand softly, "How about I get you a dreamless sleep potion for you, and you sleep through the night with nothing, a blank and peaceful sleep. And maybe fix all of this in the morning. I am sure, Dumbledore has a cure."
"Yes, please!" James said quickly, laying his head back on the sofa, but his eyes wide open. He couldn't close them. He didn't want to. He didn't have enough energy to do that all over again.
"Here," She held a bottle with a blue potion in it. "Drink up!"
"Thanks, Lil!" James drunk it in a gulp.
He laid back on the sofa, and closed his eyes slowly.
"Hey, Lil!" He mumbled,
"Hmm!" She sat on the floor, by his side. "What happened?"
"Don't leave me...please!" He was falling in a deep sleep. "I want you to be here, forever."
"Always." She threw a blanket on him, and squeezed his hand. She smiled, and left James to sleep.
