Chapter 27

Flying, Hospital Wing, and Answers

James was on the pitch, like Sirius had predicted.

He let his broom and the below-freezing air bring him higher and higher towards the quickly darkening sky. He was thinking.

Lily hated him now, that he knew. But why? What had he said? This afternoon's encounter replayed in his mind several hundred times. He said that they were drunk. That it had been a mistake; a misunderstanding. And now she hated him. They had been…friendly with each other since they had been named Heads. She hated him because…of what?

Out of the corner of his eye, as the rain started to pour from the cloudy skies, he saw a flash of red. His entire head whipped around, searching for it again. And he saw it. It looked like it was coming from the Head tower, but he wasn't sure.

He started towards it slowly; if it was Lily like he thought it was, it meant she was literally on the roof of that tower. He started to get scared.

He flew a little faster. She could fall. She could die. And it would be all his fault.

When he reached her, she looked unconscious. Or asleep; he couldn't tell.

He carefully landed next to her as he pulled his jacket off and wrapped it around her.

He placed her on the front of the broom, one hand under her torso, the other under her legs, clasping his broom, and mounted behind her, and pushing off into the cold air. If he didn't get her to Hospital Wing fast, her wet clothes would be the cause of her hypothermia in the freezing temperatures.

What was she thinking? Sitting on the roof, in weather like this?

His thoughts quickly turned into overdrive as she started to stir. He looked down at her face, her lips starting to turn blue from the cold.

"Why are you mad at me?" he asked before he could stop himself, his eyes searching hers for an answer.

Her eyes slowly began to close as she drifted back into the darkness. Before she dropped off into unconsciousness, she said in barely a whisper, "You said it was a mistake, that it meant nothing… when it meant so much more to me."

He just stared at her.

He took out his wand in a daze and placed a heating charm around her frail-looking body.

He flew towards the Gryffindor tower, unlocking the common room window as he flew in.

Ignoring the surprised faces of his friends, he landed in front of the fire, and wordlessly locked the window behind him. He let his broom fall to the floor, not caring for it right now.

He had to get her to the infirmary to make sure she was safe. He was still in semi-shock.

"James! Is-is she okay? What happened?" asked Sirius, worry pooling in his eyes.

"I found her on the roof," he responded, semi-robotically. "I think she's unconscious. It's raining now, and it's freezing out. We have to get her to the Hospital Wing."

"We'll take her," Rach said, "You should warm up by the fire. Come on, Kay, Lila."

She placed a levitating charm on Lily's quickly warming body and walked out with Lila and Kay, all of them crowding around her body to make sure she was alright.

James started to follow, but Remus put a hand on his shoulder, directing him towards the Gryffindor sofa instead. James made no protest, but sat, gazing into the fire.

None of his friends knew what to say to him.

Sirius put a hand on his friends shoulder. "Don't worry, Madam Pomfrey can heal anyone." He said, hoping it would bring some comport to his friends.

But James didn't really hear him, because he drifted slowly into the grip of sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily started to awake groggily. She tried to remember how she ended up in the Hospital Wing. She remembered sitting on the roof, sleep claiming her. Only it wasn't sleep. It was a scary darkness she wanted to wake from. She remembered being woken up by rain, and someone's warm body holding her. She felt like she was floating. The person holding her asked…something. She remembered saying something… something important…maybe a secret, she couldn't remember. It was all a blur. Then the scary darkness took her again.

Now Rach, Lila, Kay, Remus, Sirius, and Ben were crowded around her bedside her bed in the hospital wing.

"Lily!" Kay said, smiling. All their heads turned to look at Lily. "You're awake!"

"Hey," Lily said, smiling and sitting up. "Why am I here?"

"Prongs…James…brought you in last night. What the bloody hell were you doing on the roof, if I may ask?" said Sirius, a small smile twitching at his lips.

"Thinking," she said simply.

"Ah, good. You're up," said Madam Pomfrey, bustling around. "Mr. Potter's warming spell saved you from any hypothermia. Thankfully there was no real harm done. But I'm keeping you until tonight, just in case." She said and walked away to check on her other patients.

"Ugh…I hate hospitals." Lily said with a groan.

"Lily," Remus said softly, "James wants to talk to you." Pause. "Alone. So, we'll wait outside."

And all of a sudden, she remembered.

She remembered the deep voice, a voice she now recognized as James's, asking her why she was mad at him.

Did she answer? She must have. That's why James wanted to talk to her. Merde, and double poo.

"Eh, merde. Merde, de merde, de merde, de pooPutain, de catin, de merde," Lily said under her breath.

Remus laughed at Lily's bad language, even if it was in French.

He turned and walked out, the others followed him.

Lily sighed.
