Chapter Three

Of Revivals, Amnesia, and Pride and Prejudice

A/N this chappy is for Truly Frightenin Lil Monster Alice (sry they wont let me do ur name as one thing) who reviewed BOTH chapters!

James' Pro

So I'm ready. Sam says I have about ten more minutes. You know Lil is even more beautiful when she sleeps. Don't get me wrong, she's hot when she's angry…but she looks so peaceful. Practically angelic.

James was adrift in his own world when he was ripped from his thoughts by hushed shouting.

"You prick! How dare you insinuate-"

"How dare I? this is entirely your fault!"

"My fault?"

And of course Sam and Sirius were at it again. Whispered screams filling the Hospital Wing.

I bet they'd have really great sex. Weird thought. But really. All that energy…I bet it'll be like that with Lil. Damn she's amazing. She has the softest hair. Wow…and it's shiny…I love shiny…

He ran his hand through her hair once more, wishing he could do it while she was awake.

It's like fire. Like hot sexy fire. Bloody hell I love her. I bet we'll have gorgeous kids. I hope they all have her eyes. They are like giant emeralds…like that bra. That was a great bra..I wonder what happened to it…I bet she looked amazing in it. And her brain! YEAH! They better all get her brain. She is so damn smart. Sam told me to bring her her school books. If I was I the Hospital Wing there's no way I would work. You know she's the only person I've ever met who looks sexy in potions class…everyone else just looks shiny. But not good shiny, bad shiny. Except for her. I can't believe she fell off the broom stick. Hell she is never gonna want to see me again. I'm royally screwed. What if I got her an awesome present. Like and apology gift. I could get her that box thing Sam says she like with the moving pictures…I don't see what's so special about it. It just stays black and shiny…I don't see any pictures.

"Ughh."

She's waking up! Holy shit what do I do!

"Sam…pst! Sam! Help!"

"James, shush. Hold her hand. Girls like that. And when she wakes up smile and offer her water or tea. And what ever you do, don't ask her out!"

"I wasn't gonna!"

"Well you've done it at even less appropriate times-"

"Ughh mm" Came Lily's muffled voice.

James took her hand gently and pushed her hair behind her ears once more, enjoying the feeling. Her eyes were now fluttering open. She moaned in pain.

She blinked twice as her eyes opened. Adjusting to the bright sunlight that filled the room.

"Please tell me this is heaven and not the hospital wing!" She grumbled.

James just smiled down at her.

"Potter?"

His smile disappeared instantly. Great back to Potter.

"What happened."

"I…well..you…" He ran his hand through is tangled hair. Moments passed as he tried to find the right words.

"See Lil," He said timidly, "you kinda, sorta, I mean you did...Well you fell off my broomstick…" He was visibly nervous.

"I what? Wait, what was I doing on your broomstick..I can't fly."

"Clearly."

She scowled.

"I mean…I'm sorry?"

Lily glared at him.

"Lily! You're up!" Sam barged through the curtain, clearly noticing the tension between the two. She quickly enveloped her friend in a long embrace.

"Sam, what happened?"

"Well from what I can tell you were having a very romantic night with Jamsie here, when you fell off a broom…but hey no blood no foul right?" Her dimples showing as she smiled.

"Is that some kinda a sick joke? A romantic night with him?" She said motioning to James, who quickly let go of her hand.

"Yes. Im told he's quite the charmer" At Lily's look of disbelief she added, "Ooh look Sirius is here to see you!" Sam coughed loudly in Sirius' direction.

"Oh right…" He muttered and slowly entered, him mind still on the fight he had been having. He donned a clearly fake smile. "Hey Lily-bean! Good to see your awake. You must have had quite the night with Prongsie here." he said clapping James on the shoulder. James looked up and glared at him friend.

"Is this a prank?"

"No sweetie." Sam responded. "PomPom said it might take a while to remember what happened."

"Well I remember being in the Common Room, with a book, thinking very poetic things…then…yeah James came in-"

VICTORY! I'M STILL JAMES!

"-And I told him to leave, but he wouldn't. And then…Um…something about speculating and my bra?"

"Yeah…" James said quietly blushing. "Uhhh...Then we went outside and-"

"Outside?"

"To the Quittich pitch-"

"The Quittich pitch! I don't fly."

"I know! You were just supposed to hold on!"

"To what?"

"Me!"

"What? Why?"

"So you wouldn't fall off the damn broom!" James practically yelled. His frustration getting to him.

Sam quickly place her hand on his shoulder in an attempt to sooth him.

"Lily, what he is trying to say…in a very uncouth manner…is that you let go and accidentally fell. He's been really worried." She emphasize the word hoping to sway Lily from the thoughts that it was all on purpose. Yes it was true in the past James did some pretty foul things to her, but never one that would land her in the Hospital Wing.

"Yeah…" James said running his hands threw his hair once again.

Lily looked at him warily.

"Ok…I guess… guys I'm tired." She said trying to change the subject now.

"Sweetie, why don't you get some rest, we'll be right here when you wake up again."

Sam grabbed James and Sirius and pulled them from the room as Lily's eyes fluttered shut.

"Wow…that was a fail!" James said sadly once they were out of the room.

"What are you talking about? Your in the clear. She has no idea what happened."

"Padfoot, you don't get it. The evening was really nice…she…she even said she trusted me."

"Prong just breath. She's gonna remember by the end of the day, then she'll start yelling at you. And everything will go back to normal"

"What are you daft?" Sam said smacking Sirius in the back of the head.

"No and um ow!"

"He doesn't want to go back to normal, he felt like he was making progress."

"Well he'll make progress another time then."

"Yes but that does away with all his work form last night!"

Their voices were rising yet again.

"Would you guys cool it already? I'm fucked and I don't need two of my best mates frighting right now."

"Sorry." They said in unison.

"So how can we help?" Sam said eventually after an odd silence.

"I don't know." James responded miserably. He leaned against the wall and put his head in his hands. "I'm screwed."

"Yeah and not in a good way."

"Sirius." James warned.

"Common, laughter can only help."

"Or hurt!" Sam chirped.

Sirius glared at her. She ignored him. Instead she chose to walk over to James and wrap her arms around his middle. She leaned her head on his chest.

"Jamie, you know we always work something out. We've been in worse situations. Remember when we hexed all the Slytherin's brooms to fly in spirals? If we could get out of something like that with only a month of detention, we can figure this out."

"She hates me." He whimpered.

"From hatred blooms the purest love…look at Romeo and Juliet! Well actually I personally think they were just horny…ok think Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy."

"Who?" Both boys looked confused.

"Don't you read? Pride and Prejudice? Anyone? Ok point is they hate each other, then something happens and BAM!" Both boys jumped back in shock as she shouted. "They fall in love!"

"Ok Madam Crazy how do we BAMMMM?" Sirius said mockingly.

Sam just smiled. Her eyes twinkling the way they always did when she was going to pull a prank.
