-- Lily's POV --

soon enough after barely having anything for dinner, I convinced Emma and Grace to let me go to the hospital wing. There was no way they were going to let me go on my own, so they were escorting me. As we walked down the stairs, I heard boys laughing down the hall. "Don't you have rounds with James tonight?" Emma inquired. I stopped in my tracks, and turned to face my two friends. My face full of worry. "Oh please you guys! Spare me! Please go occupy him. With any one, and anything. Please!" I took both of their hands in mine, and begged. "I am so tired, and I can not handle this tonight. pleaseeeee." "Fine." Grace grumbled. "I love you!" I jumped on her, in attempt to hug her, but i ended up strangling her. Emma pulled me down. "Be on your way then, i'll take care of Lily." Emma said. Grace nodded. "you confessed to the wrong person by the way." She spoke to me before turning on her heel, and walking away. I snorted. "I can't do it yet though." I murmured. Emma sighed, before turning me around to face the right path. We talked as we made our way to the hospital wing.

"Madame Pomfrey! You don't understand! I really need a pain killer. The pain may kill me otherwise! I screeched, as I followed her around the room, as she treated other students. She turned abruptly. "Does it look like i am free dear? I am a very busy woman, with sick to attend to. I looked around, there was a boy sleeping, and another with a blue hand (must be some spell or potion mishap) and twin girls with broken legs. "A blue hand doesn't seem as severe as a burnt one madame Pomfrey" Before she could cut me off i continued eager to get some sort of medicine in me. "And i only ask for some medicine, it wont take long." I pleaded, as she ignored my words and fed a potion into the blue boy's mouth. "Well you shouldn't have had it all at once then." She chided. "By the way, how did you manage that?" Her eyebrows furrowed, as she looked over the feverish boy's head. "With great difficulty." Emma chipped in. I shot her a look and mouthed "not helping", and she shrugged.

"Please - " "Oh for the sake of my ears! Will you stop your whining if i give you a pill?" Madame Pomfrey cat off my earnest begging. "Oh yes! I wont even be in your line of sight!" I got over excited. "Thank you! Oh thank you so much!" I was going to bear hug her, but Emma held me back. Madame Pomfrey walked to her cupboard, and pulled out a greenish tablet. Without thinking twice i popped it into my mouth. Emma ran forward. " Madame Pomfrey! Whats in it? How long will it take to wear out?" She held on to my hand. "Don't worry, its just a pain killer, she will feel sleepy soon." Emma breathed a huge sigh of relief, and I just smiled. "Thank you Madame Pomfrey! You are a life saver!" 

We walked out of the hall, and Emma asked me. "How are you feeling? Tired?" Just then Diana and lee Min were coming on rounds. "oh Lily! Fancy seeing you here! Aren't you on rounds with James tonight?" My eyes widened. Lee spoke. "He's looking for you." I turned to Emma in shock.  "You guy's should be on your way, we heard some guys down the hall, not long ago." Emma politely asked them to leave, while i stood there. As soon as they turned the corridor, I freaked out. "Emma! I can't see him! For Merlins sake. What would I say? Ughhh." I quickly thought of something. "Emma! You go to the dorm. I won't come back." Emma frowned. "Lily. Where will you sleep? You're sick." I held her shoulders. "Emma don't worry. Hogwarts will always help those in need. I shall go where you need only ask, if you know what you want." (( I know thats not the line, but it needed to make sense ok.)) Emma nodded. "Are you sure you will be fine?" I nodded, and smiled.

I walked into the room. Right in front of me, was a huge stack of frames. I walked around it, and found chests. I was tired, but the room of requirement, always made me curious. Just what could you find in here? I've been here before, and I knew that, if you really need something, you will find it, but up to what extent? As in can you ask for anything? I started thinking of things to ask.
