James and Lily, followed by Sirius, Katie, Remus and Peter, ran around the corner to the hospital wing only to be stopped by a quavering voice shouting "Where do you think you're running to this late in the corridors?"

They looked around to see professor Trelawney, hiding her cherry bottles under her arm.

"Professor we need to get to the hospital wing." James answered quickly.

"Prongs what happened?" Sirius asked astonished at how pale they both were.

"Honestly I don't know." James answered worry twitching at his normally levelled voice.

"Give me your hands!" Trelawney said holding out her hands, palm up.

"Sorry what?" Lily asked holding her hand closer to herself.

"Ugh give me your hand!" Trelawney said grabbing their hands as she started to hum quietly to herself.

Lily and James looked at each other trying to read each other before Trelawney shouted "Aha! I knew it! Your love lines have touched!"

Both students quickly grabbed their hands away from the still humming professor, screaming "WHAT?"

Trelawney, however, looked shocked at the outburst at, in her mind, such a simple thing.

"Your love lines, dearies. Love lines. On your palms." Trelawney said eyes huge through her large glasses.

"Oh...well...um." Lily started to try and say something before James said "How can you tell? How do you know anything about what you're trying to talk to us about? Did you go to some special school or something?" James said, starting to get angry until Lily stepped in saying "What James means is, how did you know our..."

"Love lines had touched?" Trelawney stepped in with.

Lily sighed then said "Yes. Our ...hands had touched."

"Well in answer to your questions, no I did not go to some special school or anything like that, I came here, to Hogwarts. I know what I'm talking about because my descendents before me were also seers, and I know that your love lines have touched because when somebody's love lines touch the person that has a prominent part in your life your hand vibrates or sends a gentle shock wave up your arm. Is that enough information to make you believe me?" Trelawney asked gently swaying on the spot, still clutching her cherry bottles tightly.

"Yeah, yeah sure. But you said that when you touch hands with the person it should only send a gentle shock wave up your arm yes?" James asked glancing at Lily as he said the last few words, his forehead crinkled-up with concentration.

"Yes only a little one that you can barely feel. Why how strong was the shock wave you experienced?" Trelawney asked starting to let worry touch her voice.

"It was really strong! It sent pain crushing into my head. I thought it was going to explode. Is that bad?" Lily asked urgently.

"Oh my. Oh my my my... We had better talk to Madame Pomfrey." Trelawney said hurrying up the corridor.

"Wait do you want us to come with you? I mean it might get a bit crowded and Poppy wouldn't like that." Peter asked cautiously.

"Of course we're going! Poppy won't mind." Sirius said starting after James and Lily.

"No go back to the common room. Poppy won't want you bothering her now." James said holding his hand out to stop them.

"Hurry up Mr Potter!" Trelawney called back from the door of the hospital wing.

James looked back to the professor then said to Sirius "Look I have to go just promise you will go back to the common room and not get caught by Filtch?"

"Fine." Sirius answered grumpily and he let the others drag him away as James ran to the hospital wing and to Lily waiting for him at the door.

"You ok?" Lily asked, concerned for her newly appointed friend.

"Yeah, just kind of worried about what's going on, you know." James said also concerned.

"Yeah, well I suppose we'd better get in there and get it over with." Lily said pointing her thumb over her shoulder.

"Yeah I guess so. But before we go in can you promise me something?" James asked.

"Yeah sure. What is it?"

"Whatever happens in there will you promise me that when we come out we'll still be friends?" James asked nervously looking at her.

Lily let out a light laugh and smiled at him "I promise!" She answered taking his hand "Come on we have to go."

And with that they entered the hospital wing and looked upon their fate.

"Do you think their ok?" Sirius asked for the seventh time that night as he paced circles in the carpet.

"Babe I'm sure their fine. Now please will you sit down?" Katie asked again for the seventh time.

Sirius stopped his pacing for a second to say "But what if they're not ok? What's going to happen to them? To us?"

"Do you think the carpet will get worn down if he doesn't stop pacing like that?" Remus whispered to Katie.

Katie glanced at Remus before standing up and grabbing Sirius' arm, pulling him to the couch and pushing him into a sitting position and saying to him angrily "Look we're all concerned for Lily and James but just calm down and we can figure out what we can do to help ok?"

Sirius looked up at her sulkily and mumbled "Fine, I'm just worried is all."

Katie sat down beside him and leaned on his shoulder, rubbing his arm and just started mumbling "I know, I know."

Sirius put his arm around Katie, pulling her up onto his lap. Remus, who was watching all this from the armchair, finally spoke out saying "I think we should all go to bed and talk to them about what Madame Pomfrey said in the morning, when we're all fresh and awake."

"Yeah, I agree. We have a better chance of understanding what's happening if we're all well rested." Katie said getting up off Sirius' lap and pulling him up.

Sirius just yawned, gave Katie a goodnight kiss, waved to the rest and walked clumsily up the stairs to the boy's dormitory.

"I think all that pacing wore him out." Peter said, yawning himself. "I'm going to go up too. Make sure he got to bed ok."

"Yeah I'll be up in a minute." Remus said to Peter as he gathered up his homework things from around the common room.

Katie walked up to Remus however and asked "Are you ok? You look really pale."

"Yeah I'm fine just tired. Anyway I'm going to bed I'll see you in the morning, yeah?" Remus said still not certain if he trust anyone other than the Marauders with his 'furry little problem'.

"Yeah, sure." Katie said cautiously, still wary of her friends' health.

"Did this ever happen before now?" Madame Pomfrey asked Lily and James as she stared at their palms.

Both shook their heads a look of certainty on their faces.

Madame Pomfrey continued to look at their hands for a few more moments until Professor Trelawney came over saying "Is it possible you made a mistake?"

"How could you make a mistake about a searing pain travelling up your arm and into your head? Wait what's that under your arm? Is that cherry?" James asked astonished at the teachers drinking habits.

"No no of course not. Excuse me I have to go." Denied the professor as she quickly exited the hospital wing.

"I really have to get her to stop dinking you know. It's terrible for her. Makes her mad. Anyway back to your hands. It's never happened before you say?" Madame Pomfrey asked again to be certain.

Again both students shook their heads.

"And you say the pain was unbearable?"

"Yes. Like falling off a horse and then have it trample on your head ten times over." James said grimacing.

"Ouch." Madame Pomfrey mumbled under her breath.

"Yeah it was really bad. Like getting your brain pulled out of your ear with a fish-hook." Lily said looking down at the bed she was sitting on.

Madame Pomfrey had had enough of the gruesome stories and was just about to tell them that they had to stay in overnight when Lily came out with a gasp.

"What if it's just what Trelawney said just bigger, like she said that if your part of someone's life you get a shock, maybe we're just really important parts in each other's lives since we got a really big shock?" Lily said, saying the last few words quieter as she realised what that meant, as she looked at James.

"So, what does that mean? We're really important to each other?" James asked Madame Pomfrey even though he was still looking deeply into Lily's eyes.

"Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not sure but I would like you both to stay in overnight for observation in case of any further pains or problems." Madame Pomfrey said, getting up and arranging some beds for them to use. Casually as she could she pushed the two beds a little further apart to check if being further away from each other made any difference, but when the two students came over to ask where they could change into the hospital robes and went to the separate changing room at either end of the wing she realised they would have to be much further apart and so gave up on that idea.

Lily and James got into their separate bed without a word and only said two words to each other before going to sleep for, hopefully, a night of fitful sleep.

"Goodnight James."

"Goodnight Lily."
