(JILY) MARAUDERS AND VALKYRIES : THE FALL OF SERPENT

21.The Marauding Campsite

The Marauders enter the greenhouse, and Professor Sprout was retelling the class how to grow and care for the Dittany plant and its uses.

"Dittany is a powerful healing herb and restorative and may be eaten raw to cure shallow wounds." Sprout was saying.

James scanned the Greenhouse and found that someone was missing. He slid next to where Marlene was standing, she seemed to think the same as she kept glancing at the door with a worried look.
"Where's Evans?" he whispered to her.

"Donno, I am waiting for her too, last I saw her was after potions when she left to talk with Snape, I thought she would be here but till now she hasn't appeared. I am worried, you know I don't really trust that Snape." said Marlene.

"Don't worry I will find her." James returned to his place and took out the map and his eyes widened when she found her dot.

James jumped and shouted "Professor I am really really feeling sick, I have to go to the hospital immediately."

"Okay" said Sprout. And James ran out of the class.

"What was that about?" asked Peter.

"Dunno" shrugged Remus.

Oh, he was so going to kill Snivellus if he hurt Lily. First Mary then Marls now Lily.

James burst open the hospital door causing Lily to jump. Madam Pomfrey came running out of her office. "What happened?"

"Nothing Poppy, sorry, it's just I wanted to check Lily Evans if she was alright." and he turned to look at Lily, who was looking angry, but James could she the hurt in her eyes.

"Okay, Potter but next time don't do this, and Miss Evans is completely fine" with that she left near a small table to examine a bird. "And our little friend is also fine, he can start flying tomorrow." Poppy smiled to Lily.

"Thank you very much Poppy ." said Lily.

"Though are you sure it was just lying there injured ?"

"Yes, Madam Pomfrey."

"Well thank you Miss Evans for bringing him here, I think thestrals might have attacked him." said Poppy and left to her office again.

"How did you know I was here?" asked Lily.

"Um .... you didn't show up in Herbology and  Marls was getting worried and she told me you went to talk with Snape so I came to check if you were okay. And then checked you on map." Lily saw the concern in his eyes.

"What excuse did you made to bunk Herbology?"

"Just told Sprout that I was feeling sick." Lily nodded, she was looking at the bird now.

"So, what happened to you and the bird?" asked James.

"I don't want to talk about it." snapped Lily.

"That bad eh?" James said slowly.

"You should go back to class, now that you have seen I am fine." Lily said.

"No I am not going back, and you are not fine." said James. Lily made the mistake to look into his hazel eyes.

"Dont you see I am fine, I am standing perfectly fine." shouted Lily.

"Your eyes says that you are not fine and you are hiding your pain with anger." said James in a low voice and he moved closer to her. Lily found that he was right she has always turned her pain into anger, but how could he tell it by just seeing her eyes.

"Leave me alone Potter." she said but her voice was now low.

"You should not do suppress your feelings, let it out."
