Potter And Evans

Lily

I open my eyes and look around groggily. I study my surroundings and determine that I'm still at the Hospital Wing. The day and time, I have no idea. I lay there for bit before Madam Pomfrey comes in and sees me. "Miss Evans! How glad I am to see you awake. How are you?" She asks busily, I think for a second before responding.

"My hand hurts a bit," I say, my voice is rough and hardly recognizable.

Madam Pomfrey nods, "It might for a couple days. No writing for you, Miss Evans." I groan thinking of all the homework I'll have to make up. "Mr. Potter will be quite glad you're awake as well as the rest of your friends. They keep pestering me for your condition." I laugh because it sounds like James and the rest of the crew.

"Madam Pomfrey, what day is it?" I ask, she smiles.

"It's only the day after you fainted. Everyone's at class otherwise they'd be in here. Mr. Potter was in here all day yesterday." I smile and she laughs.

"Yes, that sounds like James."

"I also heard he had an outburst at breakfast this morning." My eyes widen and Madam Pomfrey laughs. "Don't ask me. I don't have a clue, dear." I laugh and take the medicine she gives me. She leaves and I lay there thinking about James and his outburst. What did that boy do this time?

I don't have to wonder long because my friends come bolting in shortly. They see me awake and gasp. They come running towards me. "Lily!" Marlene and Alice yell. I chuckle, I missed them. I looked at everyone and noticed that James was missing.

"Lily! I am so glad you're okay!" Marlene says and I laugh at her enthusiasm. "James blew up this morning yelling at us in front of the whole school. He missed you." She says, my eyes widen in surprise. "He was here, from about 30 minutes after you left him until curfew." I gasp and she continues, "He talked to you and held your hand. It was adorable. He'll be here soon. He went to get something. He wouldn't tell us what."

"I missed you too Lily!" Alice pipes up, she gives me a hug. I smile and look at all my friends who are looking at me with slight worry.

"Okay, what's wrong?" I ask Marlene and Sirius exchange glances.

"What are you talking about Lily-Flower?" Sirius asks I roll my eyes.

"I know you all. You're looking at me with more pity than you would a dead person. What's wrong?" I ask Marlene sighs.

"Told you she'd notice. We have to tell her." Marlene said to Sirius.

"Tell me what?" I ask Marlene sends a pointed look at Sirius who sighs.

"This morning James yelled at us. He yelled for a bit and then stormed off. Mar went after him and spoke with him." He started, I nod listening closely.

"I found him crying in a classroom. He went on about how worried he was about you and the war and all of us. He named each of us and told me how he thought we'd all end up. He thought that Remus, Ally, Frank, his parents, my parents, himself, you, and I would be dead. He thought Sirius and Peter would join the Death Eaters. The only ones who had a possibility of living where Molly and Arthur and their red-headed children." I gasp and realise that I'm crying. Marlene continues, though, "He was so depressed. I comforted him but I don't think he's still our lovable James." I nod and wipe away my tears.

"Thank for telling me Marls. I'll keep that in mind." She nods and the hospital wing door opens. James walks in slowly and wipes something away from his eyes. Tears, I realise. I glance at Marlene who smiles sadly at me. He sees us all looking at him and waves. Then he sees me. His jaw drops and he runs to me.

"Lily!" He breathes when he reaches me.

"Hi," I say weakly, he breaks out into a grin. He kisses me and I kiss him. It's filled with a passion and tenderness never before have I felt. When we break apart his thumb is rubbing my cheek.

"Lily." He says again, I smile widely. "Mum wanted me to ask if you wanted to come to mine for holidays."

"James! That would be amazing!" I yell, I throw my arms around him and he hugs me back.

"I'm glad you're okay, Lils." He whispers in my ear. I grin and pull away. I pull his face towards mine and kiss him. He grins and kisses me back.
