The day progressed slowly - too slowly for Lily’s liking. James was in the hospital wing all day, which made her classes ever more unbearable. She sat in class pretending to listen and take notes as best she could. For the first time ever, Lily actually made one of her potions wrong. Professor Slughorn was a tad surprised that his best student was distracted.

The only enjoyable part of Lily’s day was when she skipped lunch and visited James in the hospital wing. She walked in quietly, books clutched to her chest and made her way over to James’ bed. He was sitting up against a pillow, legs crosses in front of him, reading the Daily Prophet.

He looked up and grinned when he noticed her enter. Lily smiled warmly and took the seat next to his bed.

“Why aren’t you at lunch?” James asked even though he was pleased to see her.

“I wanted to check up on you. I don’t think I can survive the rest of the day.” Lily sighed. She picked up one of his hands and turned it over, his palm facing her. She traces her finger up the length of his hands and round the centre of his palm. Lily could feel his eyes on her. She smiled and closed bot of her hands around his.

She looked up straight into his eyes and let them stay there. James’ hand left hers and ran itself through Lily’s hair and then down the side of her face before dropping to her thigh. She smiled and spotted the same thick healing cream besides his bed that he used last time he was here.

She picked it up and unscrewed the lid. She dug out a scoop with her finger and spread it over his eyebrow and lip as gentle as she could. She sighed and put her head on the bed.

“What’s wrong?” James asked.

“I’m such a lousy girlfriend.” She mumbled. “You’re so sweet and you always make me feel good about myself and I’m just....”

“What are you talking about? You’re incredible, Lil.” James said, lifting her head up to look at him. Lily scoffed. James laughed and tolled his eyes before kissing her.

“I better go,” Lily said. “When will you be out?”

“I’ll be out before you finish classes.”  James told her. So she left and made her way to Transfiguration grudgingly. It felt like the longest day of her life. It wasn’t that she couldn’t function without James; it was just that he made everything so much easier. His presence soothed her.

Lily packed up her books and made her way to the Heads Dorm. As James had promised, he was waiting there for her. Lily slumped into her room, dumped her bag and then sagged on the couch next to James.

“This trip abroad is starting to look better and better.” Lily said, wondering how much longer she could put up with classes. She’d never hated class this much before.

“Don’t worry; I’ll make everything more interesting tomorrow.” James grinned and Lily laughed.

“And I was thinking we should go and talk to Dumbledore about Saturday.” James added.

Lily groaned. “Okay.”

James stood up and took Lily’s hand. She was still a bit uneasy about going to the wedding. She knew that Petunia wouldn’t have agreed willingly. In fact, Lily had no idea how her parents had convinced her sister.
