"James! What are you doing?" Remus looked at his friend, horrified. "Did you just slip something into Lily's drink?"

"What? No. Of course not!" Remus watched James suspiciously while James fidgeted nervously.

A few hours later the Marauders and Lily were crowded round a table. Remus and Lily were studying furiously while Sirius and James played cards and Peter watched.

"Shh. Too much noise. All these words are making my brain hurt." Lily complained, suddenly feeling a spike of pain. Suddenly she let out a scream.

"Yikes!" Peter jumped up, knocking over James' stack of cards. Remus grabbed Lily and notes fluttered everywhere.

"Ow, ow, ow don't touch me! It hurts!"

"Lily what's wrong?!"

"My head, it's on fire, the pain, it's like someone's pricking me with needles!"

James was by her side immediately. "Oh Merlin, are you okay? Baby please be okay!"

Lily blacked out leaving four panic-stricken boys. Suddenly James ran to his bag. Remus was still supporting Lily and Sirius was shouting and in the confusion James pulled out a small stone and ran back to Lily. Prying open her mouth he shoved the stone into it. She choked and James felt his heart stop as she convulsed on the floor. Finally, after his knees went weak and he thought she was gone, his Lily, gone, he felt a small hand grab at his.

"You can see her for 5 minutes. That's it." Madame Pomfrey stared at the distraught looking boys.

"Lily! Are you okay?"

"Hi James, guys." Lily smiled weakly.

"Do they know what happened?" Remus asked.

"Madame Pomfrey thinks that I might have swallowed something by accident... something that could have caused the headache and the faint... she's not sure what."

"She thinks you took something? Like you were poisoned?" Peter's eyes were wide as saucers.

Sirius, always the protective one jumped in immediately. "Was it one of those Slytherins? I bet it was! I'll kill them!"

James twisted his hands nervously. "Um... Lily? It was me."

"What?! I don't understand- why?" Lily looked at her boyfriend with shock and horror.

"It wasn't supposed to hurt you! It was a de-stress potion, you've been so panicked recently and I thought it might help. I'm so sorry Lily, I never would have hurt you on purpose. I'll never forgive myself."

Lily smiled. "Come here you idiot." She opened her arms open and James wrapped her arms around him. The others smiled and backed away, giving them a little time to themselves.
