Marauding About In Fifth Year

High Tensions

High tensions

Marlene and the boys jumped back through the painting and jumped onto the couches of the common room. Sirius grabbed a few butterbeers from the behind-the-sofa hiding spot and handed them out as the five began laughing,

'That was a great day, right lils?' Marlene asked looking around, 'where's Lily?' she asked as the boys began looking around the room as well,

'We should go look,' peter scribbled on his board as he turned it around,

'No its gone curfew and if we all go what if she comes back, we have the map we can just keep an eye,' Remus said, 'give her five minutes to get here.' he said as James pulled out the map and laid it down.

In the second-floor bathroom, Lily sat drifting in and out of consciousness. She was in a puddle of blood feeling absolutely futile. Moaning Myrtle was circling the drains as she flew into the room. She gasped at the sight as she jumped back into the toilet screaming. No less than two minutes later, Fabulous ran through the door,

'Lily?' He yelled running to her side, 'Myrtle go to Professor McGonagall now,' he added as myrtle floated out the room, 'what happened dear?' he asked trying to sit her up. 

She was so weak but she didn't want to be saved,

'Just leave, leave me alone,' she whispered as Professor Mcgonagall came running in. Her tartan dressing gown was flowing behind her as she gasped but tried to hide all emotion.

'Mr Prewett, Go to Gryffindor and ensure no one else is out, Ask one of the ladies to grab her bag and see if they can find her wand. Try not to disclose what happened to anyone,' she said as fabian nodded and ran out of the room.

Mcgonagall flicked her wand as a stretcher appeared as Lily was levitated onto it. With that, she was taken to the hospital wing.

'Is that her?' Remus asked, pointing at the second-floor bathroom. Lily was along with Fabian.

'What are they doing?' Marlene asked as Sirius shrugged,

'Don't think they're hooking up or anything right?' James asked as Marlene shook her head,

'Not in the slightest. Lily wouldn't do that to Em,' Marlene snapped as James nodded.

Peters fat finger landed on the page at Professor Mcgonagall, who was moving quickly towards the bathroom. They all gasped. For Mcgonagall to be running, well-after hours, towards a prefect and head boy... something had to be wrong!

Fabian's scroll moved from the scene and began running to Gryffindor tower,

'He's coming here,' Marlene said as James gulped and fell back into his seat. Sirius took a large mouthful of butterbeer.

It went silent. No one had the nerve to ask what might have happened. They all felt sick to their stomachs with worry. Marlene and Sirius were both used to having strong exteriors and idgaf attitudes however the two of them were hugging on the sofa. Remus was twiddling his thumbs and biting his fingernails and he watched the map. Peter was doodling on his board trying not to say a thing. He wouldn't admit it but he didn't really care. It was her fault for leaving. James was trying his hardest not to show it but inside he was freaking out. There had been a head boy and deputy head.
