Chapter 2

Of Hospital Wings and Shiny Things

A/N

this choppy is dedicated to YouMakeMyWOrldSHine! my first review! I got three reviews..id really appreciate more, again first story in years...

My name is LIly Evans and I do NOT like flying.

Call me a control freak, but I don't like having my feet off the ground. It just seems dangerous.

Plus it's not something you can learn out of a book…unfortunately. Quittach Through the Ages is useless.

So as James pushed off the ground hard I did exactly what anyone in my position would to. I closed my eyes, grabbed him so tight I may have broken one of his ribs, and screamed.

Wind rush at me, so I ducked and used James as a shield. I could hear him laughing the entire time. A deep belly laugh as though my horror was amusing. Damn James. Damn broomstick. Damn Valentines Day!

Then suddenly the wind stopped and we were still. I slowly and timidly opened my eyes. OK Lily, just 't look down. There's nothing down there. Don't look down. FUCK! I'm looking down!

I gripped James tightly, which just made him smile.

I hate him. I am absolutely never listing to him again. I mean really? It's freezing, I'm fifty feet off the ground...

"Lily stop yelling inside your head. It makes you look constipated."

"I…you…gash! Shut up! And get me down from here."

"I'm afraid I can't do that." He said with his mischievous lop-sided grin.

"Why the bloody hell not."

"Isn't it obvious. Then you'll let go of me!"

So this is when I did something really dumb.

Everyone calls my the smartest witch of my age. They are all wrong. Because I chose this time to get pissed and let go.

I am not graceful, or balanced, or coordinated in the slightest way. I trip over air, I slip-on my feet, and I fall off chairs.

Wait, who the hell is screaming! I tried to look around and see where the noise was coming from. I was greeting by massive amounts of wind. Fuck! that's me screaming. I'm falling….

HOLY SHIT I'M FALLING! SOME ONE SAVE ME! I DON'T LIKE THIS! IS THAT THE BLOODY GROUND. FRICK! DOUBLE FRICK! FRICK ON A STICK WITH A BRICK!

POTTER!

James's Pro

"It was supposed to be romantic! Their were candles and-"

"You broke half the bones in her body!"

"Yeah Prongsie-poo, you fucked up. Big time."

"Shut up Sirius. And Moony, can you at least pretend to empathize?"

"I mean, feel bad…but mostly for her…"

"She's gonna hate you…well even more than she already hated you. Which was a lot. Your basically fucked-"

"SHUT UP PADFOOT!" I said shoving him backward.

"This is not the time to get violent." Remus said finally putting his book down. "You," He said pointing a finger at me accusingly, "need to fix this. And fast."

"I…well…this beyond a get well soon card isn't it…"

"No shit Sherlock.."

"Sirius shut it. at this point your not helping helping. Prongs, what you need to do is go beg Sam for help."

"No! I refuse to let him ask for help from that…that witch!" Sirius cried.

"And what makes you think I would help you anyway." Came a voice from about twenty feet away.

"Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain!" Sirius whispered.

"You know I'm not a super hero, but I can hear you."

The voice stepped out form behind the curtain that surrounded Lily's bed.

Out stepped Samantha, a sharp tongued seventh year who was the Yang to Lily's Ying.

Sam had always been good friends with the Marauders…except for Sirius. They had been thick as thieves until fourth year…no one knew what happened…but now their distain for each other was evident.

"But James, if you want help I'll be happy to give it…for Lily's sake. Plus I think the two of you would be a cute couple." She said facing me, her back to Sirius. That really madam smile. See someone believes in me!

"LIly will be awake in about an hour." She added.

"Shows how much you know." Sirius laughed. "Madam Pomfrey said two hours."

She ignored him. "So you have sixty minutes to come up with a plan."

She's really quite beautiful in a weird way. Not that I have any interest. She's Lily's best friend, and I think Sirius secretly fancies her. Deep down. Very deep down. She's kinda his Lily…well kinda. She's the only one she rejects him, Even though it's obvious he wants her. It's sad really…I mean I don't think he's gonna marry her. And yes Lily and I will get married. And have lots of kids. And the first one will be James Junior! And we'll have a great house. And our own Quittach Pitch! YEAH! And James Jr. will be good at Quittich. Oh no! What if he's like Lily and can't fly? It would be awful. W by that can't fly..I mean-

Wait where was I? Oh right Sam. So she's really interesting looking. Like beautiful but not cute or classic. Kinda like Marylyn Monroe. If Marylyn was funkier. She has these giant eyes that are almost gold colored, well more amber…and rainbow hair! I swear. Its black with purple and orange and blue and green…and it's shiny…I like shiny things…Wiait where was I?

"Earth to James!"

"What?"

"Now you have fifty-eight minutes."

"Look just because the divination teacher claims you have a thread eye or some bullshit doesn't mean you know better than Madam Pomfrey!"

OK Maybe he doesn't like her…

"And just because the girls in the school claim your good looking or some bull shit doesn't mean you have a sex appeal any higher than the average cockroach!"

"Sam, just because you think you're so high and mighty-"

"I'm high and mighty? This from the guy who goes around telling everyone he's a god sent here to please women."

"That was one time! In fifth year! And it was a joke!"

"Yes but the retarded girls of our year actually believed it and-"

"How is that my fault? Just because you think they're all dumb-"

"They are dumb! They pad their fucking bra's with pages from novels I read!"

"Well just because you don't have to pad your bra doesn't mean you get to hate on less busty girls!"

"Can we not talk about my breasts-"

"Well maybe if you didn't parade them around. Bloody hell! Don't you own a shirt that covers your cleavage?"

"Oh this from the guy who shags he skankiest girls in the school! and I'll wear what I damn well please, if it bothers you don't stare at my chest!"

"Well it's hard not to! And it's not like your little miss innocent."

"That's none of your damn business! Who I date-"

"Of course it's my damn business."

"Oh yeah? Why the hell is that?"

"Because..well just because!"

They are really loud when they fight! this does make me feel better about my situation though...

"Um guys-"

"What Remus?" Sirius snapped.

"Your in the Hospital Wing and Madam Pomfrey looks like she's about to kill you both."

They both blushed red.

I know it's sad, but their disfunction really does make me feel better.

"So a plan?" I said timidly.

"Right." Sam said taking a deep breath. "So you need to be there when she wakes up. Don't let PomPom delivered the news 'cuz she always makes it sound worse than it is. Lils is not gonna be happy that she's stuck here for the next few days. So I suggest getting her favorite books, movies, and tea before she wakes up."

"What's a moovy?"

"It' like a moving, talking picture."

"All pictures do that."

"But these are the same everytime. Like a play…but in picture form."

"Isn't it boring if it's the sam each time?"

"James! Focus!"

"Right…ok…so where do I get these things."

"Luckily you don't need to run to find them because I have a wand."

She pointed her wand and an odd Black box appeared. It was shiny. I really do like shiny things…
