First off, Thank you to Padfoot7Prongs, (yes I love Alex too:) ) And to WestSide Love again! Bless you both! hehe

Sorry about the wait, it's also going to take a little while before I update again... I'm in the middle of my midterms and it's SO uncool! Writing papers for every day of the week is hell! Anyway, enough with my rant and on with the story!

Chapter 4:

Be Careful for what you wish for

'Cause you just might get it!' Lily said in a sing song voice to Alex. 'Remember when I told you that?' she said, hooking her arm with him as they went down for breakfast. They had talked over what had happened last night and Lily couldn't shake off her grin and neither could Alex. 'But see, that saying isn't good for me…' She added looking thoughtful 'I always wished Potter could get a conscience… Wouldn't it be a better world? He would stop intimidating the younger ones… He would quit pestering me with his Will you go out with mee?' She said that last part, trying to imitate his voice. 'Wouldn't that be good? Gosh. The ONE thing 'I' wish for doesn't happen...' to enhance her point, she growled.

'Swear to god Lily, you're going to be the end of me' he joked as they walked in the Great Hall and headed to their table. Iza and Brandon were already sitting down, eating away.

'Hiya!' said Iza as she looked up and saw her friends. 'I was just saying how I didn't want to go to Transfig, and that I probably should cut class… But then I thought that Lily would never let me do such a thing, so I found myself wishing that you were sick.' She said flatly and gave a pout.

'Gee, thanks Iza' said Lily sitting down in front of her 'For the record, even IF I was sick, I would have never let you cut class! Specially Advanced Transfig' she smirked as she saw her friends face contort in a frown. Brandon put his arm around her shoulders and she threw him a look.

'Not at the table Bee, I told you already'

'Oh sorry…' he said, smiling lightly at his moody girlfriend.

It was then that Lily realised she was the only one in her little gang, to be crush-boyfriend-less. If that word even existed… She was shook out of her reverie with a whiney 'Beeee'. Brandon had apparently tried to put his arm around her shoulders again. Lily rolled her eyes and started eating, turned her head towards Alex who was pouring over last minute reading for Muggle Studies.

Lily was scribbling down furiously her notes as Professor Mc Gonnagll talked, trying to ignore the pain in her stomach. The cramps came so hard she could barely breathe. Closing her eyes when they came, she saw black spots. But when they passed, she went back to writing down her notes religiously.

Iza sitting next to her saw that her friend was shifting uncomfortably in her seat and seemed really pale. She passed her a note, worried.

You okay? Lily glanced at the paper and merely nodded as another cramp hit her. She visibly winced.

Iza looked at her before whispering 'No you're not, we're going to Pomfrey's!' then shot her hand up 'Professor?' she said loudly getting the attention of the class. Lily took in a deep breath and shut her eyes closed, wishing that cramp away, but it just wouldn't. 'Lily really doesn't feel good… Can I bring her to the hospital wing?' She added as she gave a side glance at Lily who visibly didn't feel well.

What the hell… thought Lily as the cramp didn't pass. Mc Gonnagll seemed convinced, because she said 'Yes, yes, of course'.

Iza got up and started packing their things, as Lily stood. Lily looked at her with wide eyes before saying 'I think I'm going to faint…' Iza yelped as she saw her eyes roll back and her body start to fall backwards. She looked petrified as she froze on the spot, watching her friend fall.

James sprung from his seat to catch her while she fell next to his desk. He took her in his arms. Before anyone could say anything, Mc Gonnagll yelped 'Quick Potter! Bring her to Madam Pomfrey!' He nodded and briskly walked out of class, followed by Iza who had Lily's things. Iza had a worried look etched on her face as she saw Lily's head loll on James' shoulder.

The moment James set Lily onto the bed, her eyes fluttered open. The vibrant green that her eyes usually held was much more paler.

'Wha… Where… What happened?' she said in a very soft voice. Before she could register that James was next to her, he backed up slowly and closed the curtains around Iza and her. Just the look he had in his eyes confirmed to Iza that James had matured and still held very strong feelings for her friend.

'You fainted! That's what!' Iza said, not understanding why it happened. Lily groaned. 'Is everything okay?' she said quickly changing her accusing tone to a soft and worried one.

'No…' she said moaning 'The cramps are back' she gasped. As if summoned by magic, Madam Pomfrey was there.

'What is going on here? When did you too come in?' she said, quickly checking Lily's abdomen.

'Well we were in class just a few minutes ago and Lily fainted… 'Brought her here when she was still unconscious.' Iza said, on the edge of her seat, holding on to Lily's hand.

'Hmm.' Said the nurse as she continued her examination. Few moments later she stopped prodding Lily's stomach with her wand. 'Seems that you've been in extreme pain… That's why you fainted… Where does it hurt?' she said as she took in Lily's pulse.

'Stomach' Lily breathed as another cramp hit her 'I'm two weeks late, and I think it's my first day' she managed to let out.

The nurse stopped checking her and gave her a soft smile. 'Here, let me get you something' She said as she quickly left her bedside and went in her cabinet. She came back with a pink looking potion 'Drink this, it will ease the cramps' She said giving Lily the potion, which she drank as quickly as possible. 'It'll take just within five minutes to completely work. Does it always hit you like this?' she said as an afterthought.

'Not always, but it really hurts' Lily said shutting her eyes tightly.

'I'll give you the instructions on how to brew it, its really easy' she said, patting her shoulder before stepping back 'Well, I'm afraid to tell you that you are perfectly fine and you should go back to class' she said smiling.

'Thank you so much' Lily said, starting to feel the effects of the potion.

Walking back to their next class, Iza and Lily were having at talk about it. 'God, I HATE being late!' Lily said throwing her bag on her shoulder.

'I totally understand you, but you see, if you had a boyfriend…I think you'd be more panicked' Iza said casually.

'Oh my gosh, imagine the stress!' Lily said giving her a shoulder nudge. Iza merely grunted.

'I don't have to! I lived it!' She said rolling her eyes.

Lily gapped 'Whenever was that!'

'T'was a while ago, but anyways! Never been happier when I saw that dear auntie red again!' she said chuckling.

'Betcha that, eh?' Lily said as they turned the corner and came face to face with a crowd.

Snape and James both stood face to face, fuming and hands at wand. Towering behind James, was Sirius, Remus and Peter. Remus was resting his hand on James' shoulder as if to calm him down.

'Don't you dare say that again' James seethed 'I swear to god Snape, Merlin save you, for you'll wish you could walk again'

Lily walked closer to the both of them, wondering what it was about. 'Severus, Potter, what's this about?' she said sharply. James swivelled and anger still flashed in his eyes.

'None of your damn business, Mudblood.' Snape spat, not even bothering to look at her. He was still aiming his wand towards James. In an instant, James had turned and had his wand flush on Snape's neck. He was nearly growling.

But before he could do anything, Lily yelled out a shrill 'James!' This seemed to calm him down a little bit because he did not move. She walked closer and stared right into Snape's eyes. 'Let him say whatever he wants. They're just words… He'd never dare lay a finger on me' she said, glaring at Snape, clearly letting him know that she was aware of his crush on her. He reddened, be it from anger or embarrassment, but whatever it was, it made him leave.

Lily, wanting nothing more then to stop the conversation there, walked passed the Marauders, holding Iza's arm so that she would follow her and walked into class. Seconds later, Alex ran in panting, followed by most of the class.

'Stupid Muggle studies… Teacher had us in forever!' Seeing the faces of Lily and Iza, he stopped his rant and looked at them both oddly. 'What the hell happened?' Lily sighed and simply took her things out, readying herself for Binns' lecture.

Iza bent closer to Alex and told him everything that happened, from Lily's faint to Snape's diss. When she was done, the class was already five minutes in so Alex couldn't really talk to Lily about it. He merely said 'God, I missed a bunch, didn't I?' he said with a small smile.

Iza, still turned towards him whispered 'But you were with Julian, so that doesn't really matter'. To emphasize her point, she winked and turned towards the front of the class.

At the end of the day, the three went to sit at the Gryffindor table for a well deserved supper. Round the end, Brandon came to sit next to Iza. Acknowledged by a quick peck on the cheek, Brandon fell into a light conversation with Lily as Alex was in a discussion with Iza.

'Yeah, it was hell! Did you start your essay on the goblin war?' Lily asked, as she pushed her plate away.

'Nah, doing that tonight… Just one sec' he said, he put his hand on Iza's arm. She shrugged off his hand but turned her head towards him. He had a small frown on his face. 'Can I just talk to you for a bit?' he said seriously, his head tilting towards the exit of the Great Hall.

'Er... Okay?' she said, standing up, following him out of the Great Hall. Lily turned to Alex who shared her perplexed look.

Thank you so much guys:)

You know how Lily fainted? It actually happened to me! I was standing in line at a cafeteria with a friend, and I tugged her sleeve, telling her that I didn't feel well… Used to that sentence, she shrugged it off, telling me to take an advil… I tugged her sleeve again, to let her know I was going to faint. She was so shocked she just stared at me fall to the ground… lol it must have been a funny sight.. but I was so embarrassed when I woke up… lol had this really cute guy yelling at my friend to have let me fall like that lol sweet huh? Anyhowww
