Chapter 9, Hating Snape.
Lily's fabulous mind sweetums.
-\/-
I dimly hear someone yell "PRONGS!!!" Then I'm puking… and puking… and just for a change, puking! I haven't eaten since breakfast and now it's like 5 o'clock so don't ask me where all this food comes from. About 30 seconds after I started, I hear some pretty… rude words then a weight lands on the bed and someone's pulling my hair back as I puke over the edge of my bed. Then someone's holding my shoulders back (that's the same someone) then someone else says Scourify then lots of shouts and about 5 minutes after I started, everything goes black.

Prong's blissful mind (we have rewound till when he leaves the room after talking to Lily)
So I've just kissed my Lovely Lily (ok, on the hand, leave my dreams alone!) and now Sirius and I are in my room.
"What the hell did Evan's do to you?!" he asks. He still hasn't forgiven Lily for hanging him in the air. I tell him in very short detail what happened. I just finish telling him about the kiss when I hear my summons: "PRONGS!!!" now this scares me shitless if you'll pardon my French, coz to hear Moony, panicking? It's just not cool! I realize Moony is in Lily's room. Within three seconds flat, I've jumped the bed and I've practically flown to Lily's room. To be met with one of my worst nightmares (the other involving an old friend, Padfoot and whipped cream ::shudder:: ) Lily's sick! Not just spewing, she's… well Padfoot after 21 shots of fire whisky! She's puking her guts up! I jump on the bed and hold her hair and shoulders back, supporting her, murmuring encouraging words to her. See, I'd make a good boyfriend! Bloody hell, what's wrong with Lily?!
"Get Pomfrey and McGonagall damnit!" Oh crap, what's happened to Lily? I see Sirius and Remus send a Patronus each. I don't get it. What could make anyone puke this much? This isn't natural so a potion? I saw Snivilleous and Lily talking, more like arguing really, at breakfast and then he poured her a drink… he could have slipped her something! That little (author beeps James' thoughts and glares at him)! I'll get him if it's the last thing I ever do! Right after I marry Lily. Back to the present: I look at Moony to see what to do and he looks… the best way to describe it is guilty. What's he got to feel guilty about?
"Remus?" I say quietly. He's looking at Lily. She's mine, all mine, you can have Em but Lily's mine!
"I, I gave her a Calming Draught, this might be an allergic reaction…" Moony explains. Oh crud. WhatdoIdo? WhatdoIdo? WhatdoIdo? WhatdoIdo? I know!
"Sorry Lily, but you've given me no choice. Stupefy." I'm so sorry Lils; at least she's stopped puking.
"Mr. Potter! What is going on here? You've been dueling with Miss Evans whilst she is in bed?!" McGonagall has arrived. She doesn't seem to have a very high opinion of me does she?! How dare she accuse me of that? I mean, ok I have the wand and Lily is Stunned in bed. Ok I can see her point. I look at Moony,
"You made a simple mistake mate, admit it and feel better," I say gravely. He sighs and tells the whole story to Minnie. By the time he's finished she's looking at me in- is it possible? - Admiration.
"Well Potter, 50 points for keeping a cool head in a situation," Minnie says. Minnie, giving me points?!
"And Mr. Lupin, it was an honest mistake, so what are you going to do to fix it?" Play favorites much Minnie?
-\/-
There was silence for about thirty seconds while Remus looks amazed. How do you reverse the effects of this?
"I suggest you start by calling Mr. Snape up here, he'll be able to fix it without mucking it up even more," she says, pointedly glaring at me. Is she implying I'd muck it up? Wait, SNAPE?! In Lily's bedroom? I so don't think so! Some of my thoughts must have shown on my face (or McGonagall has figured out that I dislike- ahem- "Mr. Snape"), for she then said
"Yes, Severus Snape, yes in her bedroom, now hurry up!" I can only grimace. He'll poison my Flower!
"Fine. Grace," I say to the portrait of a young Slytherin.
"Can you please get Snape and tell him that Lily 'needs' him and Minnie wants him and so does James- tell him it's an emergency with Lily," I shudder at the ulterior meaning of that. He'll come fast, its Lily… again, I shudder. Dangnamit, him in my Common Room? Lily had better appreciate this!
"Well, seeing as this is all under control, I'd better go…" asked Sirius. I need moral support but Sirius and Snape would cause more fights then support. I know!
"Sirius, my room, don't come out unless I say so. Professor, may I offer you a seat?" I add absent mindedly. I wave my wand and another gorgeous couch appears (A/N in Australia, these are like a 2 seater chair thing with cushions, all cushiony…) oh yeah, who rocks at Transfiguration? Oh right, Lily's unconscious. Hurry up Snape.
"James? There's a boy out here, black disgusting hair, he says he needs to enter?" that'd be the front door. I walk (ok, I run) down the stairs and say "let him in"- very regretfully but still. So then Snape walks in.
"Thanks Potter" he spits at me. Meany.
"Where's Lily?" hey, who said he had permission to call her Lily? I will pass over this minor slight this time.
"Ok, Lily's upstairs in her bedroom, she's had an allergic reaction to a Calming Draught and she was puking so we had to Stun her." I explain very quickly while we run up the stairs. I'm not joking, Snape, running! Note to self: laugh at Snape later, worry about Lily now.
"You Stunned her?!" Snape sounds shocked at me.
"She was hurling too much!" I reply. We have now reached the landing with her on it. I point out the door to my left and we go in. I could have sworn I heard Snape groan at what he saw. Hello? Don't you people realize that Lily is all mine?! Anyway, so Snape goes up to Lily and looks at her. He grabs something from the bag at his feet.
"Can you un-Stun her?" Snape asks. So I un-Stun her. He made a little potion and I watched very closely, so he didn't make a poison or a Love Potion (not that I'd know how of course ::ahem:: ) the potion was brewed in under 5 minutes and for three of those minutes Lily puked, (the other two she was to groggy to puke) Snape gave her the potion (it had to be forced down his throat). He was kneeling on her right side, clutching the bed cover so tightly his hands were white. I've never seen Snape look so anxious in my life, not even when he saw Remus as a werewolf. He was scared then but now he's… anxious and nervous. Why was Snape acting this way to a mud-ahem? Usually he was scornful not… sorrowful! MINE! Lily is mine, even if she doesn't know it yet. What is it with people- particularly Lily- and not realizing this?!
To emphasize my ownership of her (not that I'd ever tell her that) I climbed on her bed and held her left hand. The potion had knocked her out, but Snape said that was to be expected. So we waited for about ten minutes, me holding Lily's hand and Snape her bed covers, just as it should be. Suddenly…
Hehehe cliffy… I'm sorry, but I'm too tired to type more:P to all my reviewers, once again thanks and this is extra long just for you! Please review and make my tiredness worth it:P
