The first thing that Lily felt when she woke up was a dead weight on her legs. She tried to move them, but couldn't. Oh God she thought please don't let my legs be dead...
She peeked through her eyelashes and looked down towards her legs, expecting the worst. Instead she found the opposite. James was fast asleep, his head and arms resting on her legs, his body leaned over the bed from a chair that was pulled up by the bed. Lily sighed and put her head back on the pillow, staring up at the ceiling. What Happened? Lily racked her brain, trying to find a reason as to why she was in the hospital wing, with a banging headache and James sleeping on her legs.
James groaned and woke up, raising his head from Lily's legs. He looked at the clock and noticed breakfast was in 30 minutes. He ran his fingers through his hair and turned to look at Lily, noticing that her eyes where still closed. "I'll come back at Lunch" James said to nobody, or at least he thought. Lily's lips had upturned into a smile, but James didn't notice. His placed a kiss on her forehead and was about to leave as his felt a tug at his shirt. Lily! "Lily!" he yelled, pulling her in to his arms.
"Oww! James!" Lily cried, trying to pull out of James's hug, "that hurts!"
"Sorry! Sorry! I just missed you" James said, helping Lily rest back down on the pillows. "How you feeling?"
"Better" Lily smiled "What happened anyway? I can't remember anything"
James recapped to her what happened, and Lily's face got paler and paler as he spoke. When he had finished he took a deep breath, and looked down into Lily's calculating eyes.
"What you thinking beautiful?" James asked his mouth turning upwards into a smile.
"I'm thinking...WHY THE HELL DID YOU JUMP AFTER ME!" Lily shouted, bringing her hand up to slap James's face.
James, shocked, couldn't say anything, so just sat there and listened to Lily's rant.
"AND WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING BLAMING YOURSELF? HOW WAS ANY OF THIS YOUR FAULT! Jeez James! I thought you were meant to be the smart one!"
"Lily hunnie, I'm sorry that I upset you...but I did all that...you know, jumping after you because...well, I think I'm in love with you"
Lily opened and then closed her mouth.
"Lil's, you look like a fish" James said, a shadow of a smile on his face.
"James, I think I love you to" Lily said, taking his hand.
James grinned and took her other hand, leaning down to kiss her. They were just about to kiss when...
"James! C'mon! You're going to miss breakfast!" Sirius shouted, bursting through the hospital wing doors.
"Damn it Sirius!"
"Sorry! I'm sorry! It's just Yazzii looked like she was going to eat someone she was that hungry" Sirius said sheepishly.
James sighed and turned back to Lily.
"Ask when you can get out of here, I'll be back at lunch" James smiled and kissed Lily's forehead.
Lily watched James hit Sirius over the head as they walked out, a smile on both their faces. Lily closed her eyes contently and went back to sleep.
~#~
"She's awake!"
Yazzii jumped as someone screamed from behind her and started to choke on her Garlic Sausage sandwich. Gina started smacking her on the back as Danny was busy laughing at his girlfriend Claire's reaction at the Ravenclaw table. Claire had spit out her mouthful of pumpkin juice when she saw Yazzii chocking, and was now dying of laughter.
Remus was trying to contain his laughter as James and Sirius sheepishly sat down on the table.
"I think you two just successfully killed my girlfriend" Danny said, nodding his head to the Ravenclaw table. They looked around and saw Claire in a full laughing spaz, her head on the table, food long forgotten.
"I'm going to go and take her outside" Danny said to the group, before walking towards the Ravenclaw table and picking Claire up, talking her outside.
Sirius made kissy faces at them as they walked out.
"SIRIUS ORION BLACK YOU ARSE!" Yazzii shouted after managing to breathe again. "YOU ALMOST KILLED ME!"
"I love you?" Sirius said to Yazzii timidly, flashing a smile. Yazzii sent an evil glare at him before turning back to her food.
"So" Gina started "I take it Lily's awake?"
"Yeah" James smiled "I think she woke up last night when I was asleep"
"When's she allowed out of the hospital wing?" Remus asked.
"Not sure, I'll ask her at lunch"
The conversation ended as the bell went, signalling classes for the marauders.
~#~
Potions and transfiguration went slowly for the teens, with Sirius losing 10 points for Gryffindor when he pulled a prank on Malfoy, but Yazzii won them back when she perfected the potion.
Lunch time came around and James once again skipped it to be with Lily.
"Ah Mr Potter, back again?" Madame Pomfrey asked, walking past James and towards Lily's bed with a potion.
"As always" James smiled "Hey beautiful" James said, walking towards Lily.
"Hai Handsome" Lily giggled.
"Did you ask?" James kissed her forehead.
"Yeah" Lily scooted over in the bed, making room for James to sit. "I'm being let out tonight"
James smiled and kissed her. Lily snuggled into his chest and James played with her hair.
"How long was I out?" Lily asked, not bothering to look up.
"5 Days" James said.
"...Whoa"
"Miss Evans, so nice to see you awake" Dumbledore said, strolling through the hospital wing doors. James went to move.
"No no Mr Potter, you are perfectly fine there" Dumbledore smiled. "I was just wondering if I could speak to you both about what happened?"
"Of course" Lily smiled.
"Please, tell me what you remember" Dumbledore said, sitting down on the chair by the bed.
Lily took a deep breath before starting the story of what happened. She was a little hazy at points, so James filled in for her. James's arms tightened around Lily as she got to the violent parts, wishing that he could take her pain away.
"And, that's it I think" Lily said, talking another deep breath "Well at least what I can remember anyway"
Dumbledore stood up and placed a hand on Lily's shoulder. "That was all I needed Miss Evans, thank you very much"
Lily smiled slightly and closed her eyes, snuggling into James' chest. Within a matter of seconds, Lily's breathing has slowed into a clam rhythm. Dumbledore took this as his chance to leave.
"Ah, and Mr Potter, take the rest of the day off, Miss Evans looks rather comfortable there"
"Thanks Professor"
James dug into his back pocket and pulled out his two way mirror.
"Sirius Black" James told the mirror clearly. After around 40 seconds, Sirius's face appeared in the mirror.
"Yo Prongs!"
"Hi Padfoot, where are you?"
"Great hall watching Gina and Yazzii have a hot dog eating contest"
"Nice"
"How's Lily?" Sirius asked.
"Great, she's allowed out tonight"
"Woop! Party in the common room!"
James laughed. "Okay Padfoot, I'm staying with Lily this afternoon, Dumbledore's permission"
Sirius's jaw dropped "SUCK UP!"
"Whatever, see you later"
"Keep her occupied till 6"
"Gotcha"
"Over and out" Sirius said, ending the conversation.
~#~
At six O'clock that night, Lily, with the help of James, was making her way to the common room.
"Oww! Ow that hurt!" Lily cried, clutching her side.
"Here, let me carry you" James said, Picking Lily up bridal style.
"No, James! I'm perfectly able to walk!"
"Yeah Yeah" James said, ignoring Lily.
"James! Let me down!"
"Nope"
"Please?"
"Nada"
"Aw man!" Lily huffed.
James grinned and carried on walking with Lily in his arms. As they reached the common room doors, James looked at Lily.
"I love you" James said.
"Right back at ya" Lily smiled.
James grinned and turned his head towards the portrait of the Fat Lady. "Whomping Willow" and the door swung open.
"SUPRISE!"
"Oh my gosh!" Lily cried "Thanks!"
"Come on James! Share tiger Lily around!" Sirius yelled, taking Lily's hand and pulling her into a hug. "We bloody well missed you!"
"Lets paaaarty!" Gina slurred, holding up a glass of fire whiskey.
(2 hours later)
The party in the Griffindor common room was in full swing, Lily and James were cuddled up on a sofa, Claire and Danny had disappeared upstairs and Sirius and Remus were trying to get Gina and Yazzii down from dancing on the table.
"Yaz! Come down and dance with me hunnie!" Sirius shouted.
"Na'ah!" Yazzii slurred "To much fun up here! Sirius couldn't help but grin at her wild hand gestures and bad dancing. The idea that the Marauders had planned a week ago popped back into his mind.
"James, Remus!" He called, and they came over to where he was standing by the fire place. "You guys ready for the greatest prank the Marauders will ever pull off?"
"Lets do it" James said, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"3" Sirius said
"2" James said
"1" Remus said
"Macongiree".
