Sirius Competition

I don't own HP. J. K. Rowling does.

Great Hall (Lily POV)

I really don't know why I kissed him- it just felt necessary. I guess it was to make Severus realize that... I would prefer to date James. I really didn't want to be anything more then friends with Severus. I guess I was being selfish. Seeing James in a state like this just made me want revenge on Severus. I wanted him to suffer. He was lying there in a pool of blood. His blood. It was all over me after I leaned down. It was all over Sirius too.

"I am going to kill you." Sirius had James blood all over him and his hands were reaching out to choke Severus.

"Sirius. Don't." I whispered. He looked at me. He was crying. Like sobbing. I realized that James was basically all he had. He didn't have family. "Let's take him up to the wing. He is alive."

"Okay." He picked up James by himself and went up. I looked at Severus.

"Never. Do. That. Again." I ran up to where Sirius was walking, my vision blurred by tears. "I'm sorry. It's my fault he did that spell." I couldn't talk right- my voice was all croaky.

"I did Levacorpus." Sirius said, hoarsely. We didn't really talk- we just walked. It must have looked quite scary- two bloody people carrying a bloody body. The body of James bloody Potter.

Hospital Wing (Sirius POV)

"Lily. If he dies, I'm going to kill Snape." I spoke finally.

"If James dies, I'll let you kill me." She said. Her response shocked me. She cared for James. It was a fact. But enough to commit suicide...? I doubted it. I really did. But the way she said it just shocked me. I really don't think that she, of all people, would joke about suicide and such. It just felt weird. Remus came to meet us. His face was also very tear stained.

"James." He croaked. He didn't blink- he just stared. I knew exactly how he felt. I just wanted to hug him so we could share the sorrow. So I did. It was magnificent. I was like hugging gave us both a fuzzy warm feeling. I sobbed into his shoulder- he just buried his head in mine. Lily was watching us. He look was- pity? Love? Anger? I really didn't care.

"Will he be alright?" Lily asked a healer. Moony and I broke apart then looked at the healer.

"We will send him to St. Mungos. Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Mr. and Mrs. Potter and Peter Pettigrew are the only ones who are allowed to visit him though." Lily frowned slightly, but I could tell that she saw that coming. "What caused this damage? I don't see any scars or bruises?"

"It was a curse." I said. "I had never heard it before. I was like... Setempra? Something like that."

"Hmmm. Who cast this curse?"

"I'm not sure. I think he didn't know what it meant." I answered. I didn't want Severus to get into that much trouble. I could handle him myself. Lily looked at me, bewildered. Moony obviously knew why I didn't tell on Snape, Moony always knew these things. I looked at the bed. It should have been me. Me who got hit by the curse. Me who lose blood. Me who almost died. Me who Lily kissed.

Slytherin Common Room (Severus POV)

Why. Why? Why did I try my stupid curse on James? Why was I so angry? Why did I feel that surge of anger when James didn't do anything? Why did Lily kiss James? It was quite complicated. Lily kissed James, James loves Lily, Lily loves James, Lily hates me. And this all goes back to Sectumsempra. If I didn't use it, Lily wouldn't have kissed James. Then Lily wouldn't show her love for James. Then Lily wouldn't hate me. I feel like an idiot. The worst part is, I made Sirius cry. James made Sirius cry. What I did to James made Sirius cry. I. Am. An. Idiot. I love Lily though. I love her beyond words. Beyond emotions. I. LOVE. HER. And James knows it. Sirius knows it. Remus knows it. Lily knows it.

Hey there! I updated, finally. Sorry for the wait. Keep reviewing- remember the goal! I really love writing these POVs. It is quite fun. I will add more humor when James gets out of St. Mungos. If James gets out of St. Mungos. *dun dun dunnnn*. Teehee. Thanks for reading!
