I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!
Hey Everyone! Hope you like this chapter, sorry it took so long to post. Love the advice and hope to hear from you.
Summary: I never wanted to be sick, I never asked for death to be knocking on my door, I never thought I'd be a witch and I never expected him; the one I hated most; to be the only one who cared.
Previously: "EVANS! Remus told me to bring you these" Vaguely I could hear some words before the door was pushed open. Looking up the last thing I saw was Potters deep gray eyes before darkness once again took me.
Chapter 3: The truth?
It felt as if a million bricks were crushing my skull. That's the only way to describe the mind numbing pain against my head. It didn't take me long to realize where I was; opening my eyes I saw the darkened empty Infirmary. The place I always ended and never wanted to be surrounded me.
A sudden overwhelming panic hit me oh my god! Potter knew, he saw, did he tell anyone, how did I get here, does Dumbledore know, all these questions swarmed my thoughts. Calming down I noticed a bottle of Poleton on the counter next to me. After taking a sip of the dark green gewy muck I slid out of bed and walked towards the large glass window overlooking the grounds. Pulling back the burgundy curtains the forbidden forest glowed with the first light of day.
Something bothered me; a noise came from the back corner. Quickly turning I saw him in the shadows. Deep hazel eyes stared back at me. Potter stared at me; hiding in the shadows on the farthest bed. I was thankful not being able to see all his face in the dimmed light. I knew he would have questions; he wasn't one to forget.
As I moved to to the bed across from him, his eyes watched me the entire time like a cat hunting it's pray. We sat in silence, both at a loss for words. His eyes were sullen and face dark; it looked like he hadn't slept.
"I brought you straight to Dumbledore. He said you would be able to explain to me what happened" Potters gaze pierced mine it was like he could see right through me. His voice was quiet and harsh, friend or foe I couldn't lay this burden upon him. He would of treat me different and the last thing I wanted was any more changes.
Finally looking up at him I heavily sighed; how could I explain this I wondered. Only more questions were going to arise as my time came closer.
"I saw the bruises and marks" he continued, "They looked like beatings Lily, What happened?" Potters voice cracked. Id never seen him like that before. He looked a bit frightened or worried, I couldn't quite figure out the look on his face. Why would he be worried about me? I was just the thorn at his side for six years.
He would never know the truth, he didn't need too I figured; no one did. Living a lie would be better then facing reality. I would of rather had him hate me then pity me.
"I got in a rock climbing accident" ok so not the most brilliant solution I could have come up with, but it was well known through Hogwarts of my massive fear of heights since first year.
"My harness wasn't attached properly and I fell. A few scrapes and bruises but ill be fine in a few days." I tried being as nonchalant about it as I could but I found myself unable to look him in the eye. I prayed he would just go away.
Potter looked suspicious, it was obvious he didn't believe me. I glared; I didn't need him questioning me any longer. "Unless there's something else I think you should leave." My head was spinning; I didn't want to miss my first day and knew I needed some sleep.
"The password to our common room is liberalis; it's the French painting of Elizabeth, next to our tower" He stood up and walked to the door. It was the first conversation I could remember without insults being thrown. The feeling was bitter sweet, but that was my life.
Heading back to bed I was thankful for the notion of another hour of sleep before facing the day. Potter stopped at the door "I'm not a fool Evens" He gave me one last look before saying "Ill find out the truth, believe me. I will."
That really unnerved me. Why wouldn't he just leave me alone. Laying on my bed I watched the sunrise suddenly feeling restless. Waiting for Madame Lexin to come and check on me I saw someone else I definitely didn't expect to see that morning.
"Adam…?" my shocked voice echoed off the infirmary walls. He smiled at me, and for the first time in what felt like an eternity I felt like everything was going to be ok. In that moment he came and held me and it felt like he would never let go.
