-- James's POV --

After detention, when i got back into our dorm, i saw Remus and Peter were helping Sirius bandage his  bad burns. I cringed at the sight of one. Just then Wormtail decided to drop the guaze, and he was in a position where he couldn't get up, and reach it, so I walked over, and picked it up. Moony applied some kind of cream thing on Sirius's hand which probably burned guessing by the colorful language used by Padfoot. I Wrapped the gauze around his arm as Peter held it straight. Ya, I was mad at Padfoot, but after all this time, i suppose screaming at him won't change a thing. "Do you need anything else?" I asked, as I knotted the bandage and looked up at him. He shook his head. I put the gauze aside. "Look James I really -" "Don't. Don't say anything. I know you are sorry, and hey, you got hurt too." I could feel all three of them get shocked out of their skins. "Thanks Prongs." Sirius seemed truly grateful. I pulled a smile, "but next time I see you with your arms around Lily you are dead." Sirius raised his hands in surrender. "Hey in my defense she couldn't walk, and she is pretty." A smirk spread across his face. "Don't push it." I tried to sound serious, but i laughed. 

Slowly we broke into a random conversation, and it ended up like any other night between the four of us.

-- Lily's POV --

I woke up, with the worst of head throbs. I opened my eyes, and tried to adjust to the brightness, before i pushed myself up. "Ouch!" I winced, as I felt the blood rush into my brain. "Ughhh" I groaned loudly. I turned to my bed side table, and poured myself a glass of water. I swallowed, as the bitter taste in my mouth grew. I tried to stand up, but the floor rolled, so i sat back down, hands on my bed, trying to stabilize myself. 

memories of last night started coming back to me. Detention, and Sirius, and James's story, and everything. "Ughhh", I groaned as i eventually managed to get up, without hurling out my intestines. I walked to the bathroom, and noticed that Emma and Grace were gone. "Probably quidditch", I murmured to myself.

Once I came out of the hot shower, I felt much better, but nothing like the pain killers madame Pomfrey had prescribed. She had only given me two, and told me to use them sparingly, but I gulped down both at once. A few minutes later I found out why she told me to be careful. I felt like I was on cloud nine. Unicorns and rainbows! Yay! I felt the pain vanish from my muscles and bones as I walked down the stairs, and out of the common room.

I flew - per say- on my own little cloud all the way to breakfast. and when i got there, who did i see first? James obviously. so I flashed a huge toothy smile, and a loud embarrassing good morning. His eyes went wide, and all of my friends were gaping at me. I went and sat down, oblivious to their shock, and served myself a large bowl of cornflakes. I took out a huge spoon, and stuffed it into my mouth, before blubbering, "how was Quidditch? isn't it really cold? James you should make them work less. What would i do if my poor Sirius got sick?" When i mentioned Sirius, i leaned over the table and caught his hand. He jerked, but i held onto in anyways. I looked back at James, "The boy is already hurt, and if he gets sick..." I tried to sound menacing, but i ended up laughing.
