OH BABY {James Potter}

LOVE

CHAPTER ELEVEN: LOVE

OCTOBER 1977 

James Potter could be described by his loved ones as loyal and exceedingly brave. So when he saw Florence and Remus standing near Severus Snape and his band of goons on the marauder's map he did not even need to think about his next move. He was nearly at the Slytherin common room before he realized he left his wand in his room.

"Fuck it" he huffed after feeling around his pockets realising he left his wand in his room. He kept making a beeline for the Slytherin commons. Nothing could have prepared him for the sight he saw when he arrived.

Florence was laid out across the floor, a pool of dark crimson blood pooled beneath her. It was in that very moment James felt his heart stop as he took in the sight of Florence in front of him.

"Florence.....Florence.....Flo" he yelled as he ran to her side kneeling down beside her. He started to shake her shoulders as he realised her eyes were closed.

"Come on Flo, wake up" he urged, continuing to shake the girl's shoulders.

"Flo" his voice croaked when he realized she was not waking up.

His trembling hands reached down to find Florence's limp hands. The boy clasped his hands into hers. He never realised that he had come to care for the girl so much.

He looked down at his hands intertwined in hers. The crimson blood made him feel sick to his stomach. His trembling hands rushed to pull her top up to find the source of the blood. His heart shattered when he laid his eyes on a multitude of deep cuts that were littered across her back and stomach.

He had not even noticed his werewolf friend until he felt a warm presence beside him.

Remus knelt beside his best friend and pointed his wand at her.

"Episkey" he uttered desperately trying to start to heal Florence.

"Episkey" he urged again when nothing happened.

"We need to take her to Madame Pomfrey" Remus shouted at his best friend who had a dazed look on his face. The werewolf took control as he noticed James' mind was somewhere else.

"James," Remus yelled. "Pick her up".

Remus's shouting eventually snapped James out of his haze as he followed the instructions and started to make his way to the infirmary.

James had not even realized they had arrived at the infirmary until he heard the shouts of Madame Pomfrey telling him to place her on a bed.

"What happened," the Mediwitch asked as she assessed Florence who was still unconscious.

James stared at her with his mouth agape. He was too afraid to speak, unsure if he could trust his own voice or not.

"Snape, he cursed her with some type of spell. I...I...I have never heard of it before" Remus stuttered ashamed he was no help to the Mediwitch or Florence.

"Right, one of you go and grab Dumbledore and the other Mcgonagall" Madame Pomfrey urged, pointing at the two boys to rush away.

Remus started to walk backwards before he grabbed James' arm turning him around and breaking his stare away from Florence.

"I know this is hard James but please go grab Minnie. I'll get Dumbledore" Remus rushed already heading towards Dumbledore's quarters.

James finally snapped out of his haze as he made his way towards Mcgonagall's quarters.

He loudly banged on his professor's door. He banged again giving the professor no time to answer.

When the door finally opened McGonagall appeared dressed in her nightgowns.
