James and Abbegayle Potter

The Morning After

 Chapter 16

             When I awoke from my sleep I saw that I was in the Hospital wing. The memories began flowing back from last night and I looked over at Remus. He was not yet awake but he would awake soon. I kissed his cheek and got up out of the bed. I looked stound to see that we were the only ones in there. I remembered that I had class this morning and kissed Remus one more time on the cheek before I left to go get ready for the day. 

              In the dormitory I looked at Lily's muggle alarm clock and saw that it was 6:30 am. I decided that it would be a good idea to go take a shower. I walked to my dresser and took out my Gryffindor uniform and made my way to the bathroom. I turned on the water and quickly stripped my clothes off my body. I stepped into the shower and scrubbed all the dirt and grime off my body. I shampooed my hair and was out of the shower and dressed in a matter of 10 minutes. 

               I grabbed my wand and my bag with my books, quills, ink and parchment and made my way down to the common room. I used my wand to quickly dry my hair and put it in a side braid. On the couch I saw James sitting with my cat, Jynx in his lap. He was all dressed and ready to go to breakfast. 

"James." I called. He looked over at me. "Do you wanna go sit by the lake until breakfast?" 

"Sure!" He said jumping up and grabbing his wand off the table. We walked out of the common room and towards the lake. For it only being March, it was really nice outside. The snow had already melted and the animals were starting to come back out. We sat down at our usual spot by the tree. I leant my back up against the tree and James did as well.

"Are you okay?" James asked looking at me. I sighed. I should have known that he would ask sooner or later.

"I honestly don't know James. I mean I was out a day but what about Remus. How long was he there? He could haave been gone the whole year and we would have never known." I said truthfully, my voice raspy with tears.

"Hey. It's okay. You wanna get Sirius and talk to him instead. I know you may not want to talk to me about 'boy problems'." James said making apostraphes with his fingers. I giggled and nodded.

"Good because he is standing behind the tree." James stated. I quirked my eyebrow and looked around the tree. He was right. Sirius was standing behind the tree, holding his breath, trying not to make a sound. I held out my hand for him to take to bring him around.

"You were listening to the conversation weren't you?" I asked, knowing what his answer would be.

"What did you expect exactly? I'm Sirius Black. Second in command in the Marauders after James of course." I cut him off after he said that, with a clearing of my throat.

"Excuse me Sirius, but I was under the impression that I was second in command after James." I said smirking. "I mean he is your best friend but I am his sister."

"I think best friend beats sister any day. Especially if the best friend is a dog." Sirius said as he transformed into a dog. I stood slowly as he started to move towards me. I yelled happily as he started to run after me. I dropped my bag and wand down by James before Padfoot could get me. Padfoot chased me around the lake and back around the tree where James was sitting and towards the lake once again. I was starting to get warm and I dropped my cloak by James. I yelled again as he gained on me. I was running around through the grass and didn't noticed that there was a rock right where I wanted to step and I tripped and landed on my back. There was soon an immense pressure on my chest and I looked to see that there was a certain dog sitting there. I laughed as he licked my face.

"What are you doing on my girlfriend man?" I heard someone yell. I knew that voice from anywhere.

"Remus!" I yelled pushing Sirius off of me. I heard him whimper as he changed back into a person. Remus opened his arms and welcomed me in them. I hugged him tightly and buried my face into his chest. I looked up at him and I kissed him sweetly He kissed me back just as sweet. I pulled apart and I smiled at him and kissed him again quickly.
