As people have noticed the tour has stopped it'll not be picked up again either as it was costing too much money to run lol As u all no I haven't been about in a while so I was wondering if any of you could recommend any good Lily and James fics preferably from 7th year up. I'm a bit sick of the fluffy fics want something a bit darker. If anyone can think of any please give me a shout with recommendations thank you. And I apologize for any errors and all spelling mistakes. Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 37
The hall went totally silent as everyone turned towards her. James ran to her and skidded down beside her. He lifted her head to see if she was okay, but she was out cold. James looked frantically around him, as if to see who did this to her. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall ran towards them.
"James take her to the Hospital Wing quick." Dumbledore ordered. Without hesitation James lifted her up and ran out of the hall.

Lily was sitting on a red and white chequered picnic blanket. She smiled happily as she looked at her surroundings. They were in a park near were they lived. Huge oak tress sparingly surrounded were she was sitting. Lily could see several families by the play area. A large lake was adjacent to where she was sitting. Several other families were feeding the ducks and smiling happily. The sun was high in the sky and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was perfect weather for the middle of August. Lily dusted of some crumbs that was on her white summer dress. Her flaming red hair was cascading around her shoulders. Lily giggled as she watched her husband with their one year old child. Her husband's usual messy black hair was in his eyes but he didn't care as he played with their son. Her husband was wearing a pair of stone washed jeans and a white shirt that had the top two buttons opened. He looked very handsome with his black wire framed glasses. The baby boy was wearing a pair of blue shorts and a blue and white stripped t-shirt. On his head was a blue hat to keep the sun out of his eyes and he had white sun cream on his nose and chubby cheeks.
"Come on Harry. Say Dada." James urged his son. Lily giggled as Harry was to busy chewing on his fingers. His first tooth had come through and it wouldn't be long until there was more. "Dada." James urged. Harry giggled as he watched his mother make faces behind his fathers back. James turned round and looked at his wife who quickly put on an innocent face. Harry giggled some more and started to wave his hands about. James then started to tickle his wife, which made Harry giggle more. Lily laughed and tried to push her husband away.
"Si Si." Harry said. James stopped tickling his wife and turned to Harry.
"What was that Harry?" James asked. But Harry wasn't paying attention because a butterfly had chosen that moment to fly around Harry's head.
"Fy Fy." Harry started to say as he clapped his hands.
"No Harry say Mama." Lily urged.
"Fy Fy." Harry continued not paying attention to his parents. James and Lily looked at each other.
"Mama was definitely his first word." Lily said.
"No he said Dada." James argued.
"It was Mama." Lily said again.
"Dada."
"Mama."

James sat by the side of Lily's bed. The hospital wing was quiet as there was no other patients. It was now Sunday evening and Lily had not woken up from the coma that she was now in. James' elbows were propped up on the bed and he held Lily's hand in his. James' lips gently brushing the back of her hand. James had been at her side most of the day, except when Madame Henderson and the trainee nurse Madame Pomfrey had done a check on her that morning. He had went and got a shower then and had a slice of toast. He stayed with Lily the entire night, hoping that she would wake up. James just stared at Lily. She was so pale and fragile looking. He hated seeing her like this. He hated her being like this. He wished he could make it all better but he couldn't, he didn't know how.
James couldn't live without Lily. She was like an addiction; once you had a bit of her you were hooked. On the table beside him were cards, flowers and sweets hoping that Lily would get better soon. James had no idea how they had gotten all this in a matter of a few hours. Lily's parents had been told about her condition but Dumbledore couldn't let them see her as it was against school rules to allow ordinary people on school grounds. James brushed a strand of hair away from Lily's face. He couldn't live without her. He needed her. He felt so guilty about the fight they had had the day before. He couldn't keep hiding things from her. He had to open up more or else he could lose Lily forever and he didn't want to do that.
James was so deep in thought he didn't feel Lily's hand move in his grasp. A small moan escaped from Lily's mouth and this caught James' attention. James looked at her and could see that her eyes were slowly opened. Suddenly her breathing became rapid and her body moved. She was having a seizure. He quickly jumped out of the seat and called for the nurses. Madame Henderson and Madame Pomfrey came running into the room. Madame Henderson was tall with grey hair and green eyes. She was a very nice woman and had always helped the Marauders out of scrapes they had landed themselves in. Madame Pomfrey had brown hair and blue eyes. She was a lot stricter than Madame Henderson even though she was a trainee nurse. They both wore blue pinstripe uniforms with white aprons. They ran towards Lily. Madame Henderson checked on Lily and Madame Pomfrey bustled James out of the hospital wing, much to James' protests. Just as Madame Pomfrey closed the door on James' face Sirius and Remus came round the corner.
"James, what happened?" Remus asked concernedly.
"She woke up, then she took some type of seizure and then they chucked me out." James said in shock still facing the door. He ran his hands through his hair and stared at the door. "Oh Merlin please be okay, Please let her be okay." James said as he paced the area outside the Hospital Wing. Remus and Sirius looked at each other with shock. Not only was their friend in a critical condition in the hospital wing but there other friend was breaking down. James' face was pale and there were red rings around his eyes. Sirius had only seen him like this once in his life, and that had been a long time ago when they had been younger. An hour and forty minutes later the hospital wing doors opened. Claudia, Michelle, Sophie and Kent had now joined the three Marauders. It was like slow motion for James as Madame Henderson came out of the hospital wing. Her face was neutral, not giving any information away. James had stood up and was looking at the nurse expectantly.
"She will be okay." Madame Henderson said. "She is awake but very weak. I am afraid I can only allow two of you to go in to see her at a time." Madame Henderson said looking at each person in the group. James sighed and sat down on one of the seats. He put his head in his hands.
"James do you want to go in first?" Sophie asked. Each person in the group watched as he shook his head.
"You guys go." James said his voice shaky. Claudia and Sophie looked at each other, and then both walked into the hospital wing together. The room was dark with a few lanterns lit. As Claudia and Sophie neared the bed they could see that Lily's eyes were closed. Sophie looked at Claudia who shrugged.
"Lily?" Sophie said cautiously. Lily opened her eyes and smiled wearily at her two friends.
"Hi guys." Lily said. Sophie and Claudia then hugged Lily. They talked for a while about how Lily was feeling then Remus and Kent came in, then Sirius and Michelle did. When Sirius and Michelle's time was nearly up, Lily asked a question.
"Where is James?" She asked quietly. Sirius looked at Michelle.
"He's outside Lily." Michelle said.
"Is he angry with me?" Lily asked, worry in her eyes. Sirius shook his head.
"He's just kind of upset about all of this." Sirius said. "He sat with you all night and day. He hasn't eaten."
"He did?" Lily asked with a hopeful smile, tears brimming in her eyes. Sirius nodded. "Is he going to come in and see me?" Lily asked her smile fading.
"Don't worry he will." Michelle reassured.
"Will you guys get him something to eat please? It isn't good for him if he doesn't eat." Lily said. Sirius and Michelle chuckled.
"Don't worry about him, you just concentrate on getting better okay?" Michelle said. Lily nodded. Michelle then kissed her forehead and Sirius did the same. They then left the hospital wing. When the doors closed behind them James stood up.
"She'll be back to her old self in no time, Prongs." Sirius chuckled. "Do you know she is sitting in there worrying that you haven't eaten all day? Don't mess this up James." Sirius said patting James on the back. James nodded then walked towards the door. He walked in and closed it behind him. He looked at the bed that Lily was lying in. She looked like an angel. Her red hair was fanned out around her and her face had a lot more color in it. James walked towards the bed slowly and stopped when he was beside her. Her eyes were closed and she didn't realize he was there. James put a hand on hers and she opened her eyes. She looked into his watery blue eyes then they embraced. James didn't want to let go of her, he couldn't. James sat down on the bed beside her.
"You scared the heck out of me Lily Evans." James whispered.
"I'm sorry." Lily replied.
"I love you so much." James said kissing her lightly on the lips. He pulled away and leaned his forehead against hers. "Do they know what is wrong with you?" James asked putting a hand on Lily's cheek. Lily looked at him curiously. She moved back from him.
"They didn't tell you?" Lily asked. James shook his head. Lily sighed. "This is my punishment for not telling you in the first place. James... I'm pregnant." Lily said. James' face dropped. There was a silent pause.
"What? How? What?" James asked in disbelief. "Since when can you get pregnant from kissing?" James said his eyes wide. Lily started to giggle.
"I'm kidding." Lily laughed. James put a hand to his chest.
"Don't... do... that." James said talking deep breaths. Lily continued to giggle.
"I'm sorry. But seriously, James." Lily said putting a hand on his shoulder. James looked at her. "I found out on Monday night that I have a very rare condition." Lily said. James face looked worried.
"Monday? Why didn't you tell me? I could've helped." James said as he put a hand on her arm.
"I- I was asked not to tell you about it. James I have ESP." Lily said. Lily searched James' face for any sign of anger. Fortunately there wasn't but he sure did look as if she was crazy.
"What's that?" James asked clearly bewildered. Lily sighed.
"It's like a sixth sense. Well seventh and eighth also." Lily said. James still looked confused. "It's the ability to move things, see things and hear things. Extrasensory Perception." Lily said.
"Well why didn't you say that?" James said.
"You still have no idea what I'm talking about do you?" Lily asked folding her arms. James shook his head.
"Not a clue." James said. Lily smiled.
"There are three parts of ESP; clairvoyance, telepathy and precognition. Clairvoyance is the ability to move objects with the mind. Telepathy is the ability to read people's thoughts. And Precognition is the ability to see the future." Lily explained as she lay in the hospital bed. James looked at her.
"How long have you been able to do these things?" James asked.
"Well it has only been recently that I could read people's minds." Lily said. James eyes went wide in shock.
"So you knew what I was thinking when we were studying on Friday night?" James asked in alarm. Lily smiled slyly.
"Those kinds of thoughts could color a young girl's mind." Lily laughed as James went red.
"Can you read my mind now?" James asked. Lily tilted her head and looked at him. She shook her head.
"I can't. But that's not unusual, I can't control these powers yet." Lily thought aloud. Just then the door opened and Dumbledore and Mr. Potter walked in.
"Dad?" James said his brow creased. The men stopped at the foot of Lily's bed. Mr. Potter looked so much like James it was uncanny.
"Hello James. Ah Lily, it's good to see you are better." Mr. Potter smiled. He smiled just the same as James. Lily couldn't wait to see what James looked like when he was older. But she had seen him. She didn't know how but she had. Lily smiled at Mr. Potter.
"Thank you." She said politely.
"Lily I was wondering if I could talk to you in private. James could you please?" Mr. Potter asked. James looked at his father then at Lily. He then nodded his head and motioned to leave but Lily took a hold of his hand.
"No! ... I want James to stay." Lily said looking at Mr. Potter. James looked at his father. Mr. Potter nodded.
"Very well. I take it James knows then?" Mr. Potter asked. Lily nodded as she kept a firm grip on James' hand. James had sat down on the seat beside the bed. "It seems that your powers have developed increasingly over the past few days. I am afraid that they have developed to fast for a person of your age. I know we said you had until your birthday to decide but I am afraid that we had to take the powers out of you." Mr. Potter said. Lily nodded understanding. She wasn't fit to control so much power and she understood. She had seen what had happened in the books she had read. Lily just felt bad that people could die now because she wasn't string enough to handle this. James squeezed her hand reassuringly.
"Lily I know you may have just been getting used to the powers but you nearly died. You could not control that much power." Dumbledore said. "So Michael and I decided that it would be best if the powers were given to someone who could handle it."
"So the powers will still be in use, but by someone else? So people will be helped?" Lily asked hopefully. Mr. Potter smiled and nodded.
"Yes. One of our top grade aurors is currently in training so that they can receive the power." Mr. Potter said nodding his head. Lily sighed and smiled.
"That's good. I thought that if I refused the power then lives would've been lost because of me. I'm happy to know though that they won't." Lily said putting a hand to her chest. James squeezed her other hand comfortingly again.
"Lily, you have given the world a great gift." Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling behind his half moon glasses. "Now if you will excuse us Michael and I have things to discuss." Dumbledore smiled. As the two men left Mr. Potter stopped and turned to his son.
"James you still have classes in the morning. So make sure you get to your bed early." Mr. Potter said with a cheeky grin.
"Thanks dad." James said sarcastically. When the two men had left the hospital wing James turned to his girlfriend.
"So... you don't have ESP any more. Did you receive all of the powers though? I know you read minds and made things move, mainly blew them up but what about seeing the future? Could you put Professor Donnelly to shame?" James asked with a hint of humor. Lily chuckled. Then it all came flooding back to her. The dream or vision - she didn't know what to call it - she had whilst she was unconscious.
"Actually while I was in the coma, I saw something. I was with my husband and son. And my son had said his first word, which was Mama." Lily said with a small smile.
"Are you sure it wasn't dada?" James asked with a chuckle. With that Lily laughed.
Over the next few days Lily was finally realized from the hospital wing. She hadn't told any of her friends about the condition she had. She didn't really want to explain to Michelle that her boyfriend lived up to the idea that men thought about sex every six seconds. However, there was tension between Remus and Claudia. Remus had told Claudia about his transformations and she hadn't taken it well. Lily and Claudia were sitting in the library doing their Potions homework. It was Wednesday evening and James and Sirius were at Quidditch practice whilst Michelle and Remus had went to make fun of the team. Peter as always was non existent. Claudia sighed for the hundredth time; Lily looked up from her parchment.
"Claudia, if you keep sighing I'm going to leave." Lily said irritably. Things of course hadn't been the best between the two friends ever since Lily found out that Claudia had been acting weird around Remus. Lily couldn't understand how someone could change their opinion just because of his illness. Claudia knew that Lily was angry with her for more than just sighing. Claudia went back to her work. Five minutes later Lily finally spoke.
"I can't believe you can be so narrow-minded." Lily said her voice dripping with bitterness. Claudia looked up at her.
"You wouldn't understand." Claudia said throatily.
"Try me." Lily said overconfidently. Claudia looked at her once again.
"Lily, I don't give a rats a$$ that he is whatever the hell he is, okay." Claudia elaborated.
"Then what the hell is your problem towards him?" Lily asked her voice rising. Madame Pince, the Librarian looked over at them above her azure glasses.
"Lily he lied to me." Claudia said as she slammed her textbook shut. "Just like everyone else does. I thought he was different." Claudia said.
"Yeah and he thought you were different. Do you know that Ruth actually broke up with him because she found out about his transformations? Do you know that the only reason why Remus is a werewolf because some evil werewolf wanted vengeance against his father? So before you start getting mad at him about lying to you, think about why he did it. He fell in love with you, Claudia. And he didn't want to lose you like he had everyone else." Lily said calmly and quietly. Claudia sat there with tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to say she was speechless.
"I feel so bad now. I've been so selfish. I have to go talk to him." Claudia said quickly jumping up and grabbing her books.
"Claudia, don't tell him I told you, okay? He's quite concealed about it." Lily said. Claudia nodded then ran off.
