Lily awoke with a start.
"Where am I?" She blurted out.
"St. Mungos." A woman in white robes said, fluffing her pillow.
Lily started to get up, but then a pain split across her head.
"Don't sit up." The healer commanded. "You took a potion for a memory charm and you won't be
able to walk for forty five minutes."
"Where's James?" Lily demanded.
"Who?"
"James Potter!"
"Oh, Potter!" The healer exclaimed. "He was bigger and took the memory charm better than you, so he
didn't need hospitilization."
"Memory charm?" Lily asked, confused.
"Yes. Someone put you under a memory charm four days ago. You'll have to go under some tests tomorrow."
"What did they erase?" She asked, groping her head.
"That's what we're trying to find out." The healer said. "Will that be all?"
Lily nodded.
"Dinner will be served in ten minutes." The healer said, leaving the room.
Lily observed her surroundings for the first time. The walls were peach, with white stripes on them. The bedspread was
bright green and it was old and beaten from the many witches and wizards who had used it before her.
"Disgusting." She muttered.
"What is?" James asked, walking into the room.
"James!" She cried. He hopped down on the bed next to her and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.
"Now that you're here I am." She said, kissing him.
He pulled away.
"Lily, there's something I need to tell you."
"Yes, James?"
"I heard from Alice Lyons that we were broken up before we got attacked."
"What did we break up over?" She asked, upset.
"I don't know, but it had to be really serious, and it made me think a bit, Lils," He said.
"So you still want to be broken up?" She asked angrily. "Over some stupid thing you don't even
remember?"
He shook his head.
"I thought about how much I love you, and how I couldn't live if I lost you." He said softly.
She wiped her eyes.
"Really?"
He nodded.
"And I want to marry you some day." He said.
She froze.
"Are you proposing to me?" She asked, shocked.
"No, but I'm telling you I want to marry you, and I'm going to do it someday."
She smiled.
"Okay." She kissed him on the cheek.
He smiled.
"Lily, I'll always be there for you."
She smiled.
"When you call out my name," He continued, "I'll be there. And I'll catch you when you fall.
I'll always be there to pick up the pieces."
A/N: OKay, so this is a SHORT chapter, but I'll have more, it's just that I was really super busy lately and I
didn't have a chance to write much. But this signifies the title. Definitely.
