Chapter 26: Reality Hits
Once she was well enough to leave her bed, May sat with both her brother and boyfriend. As she sat with them, she tried to piece together what had happened in Hogsmeade. She remembered being separated from the girls but after that her memories were a blur. “Stop thinking.” A voice croaked to her right. “It looks painful.” May gasped as she looked at her boyfriend, who was slowly opening his eyes. “Hello princess.”
“Oh Merlin!” She cried as she let go of James' hand and launched her arms around Sirius. “Don't you ever do that again. Don't you ever scare me like that!”
“Ow.” Sirius grumbled as his injuries hurt when she hugged him.
“Oh shit. Sorry.” She pulled away from him. “Are you okay?” She moved back as Madam Pomfrey examined his injuries again.
“Aching but good. Where are the others?” He reached out to hold May's hand and she gripped it back but remained silent. “May?”
May looked to her left where James still lay unconscious. “He's the only one who hasn't woken up. I'm worried about him.” A tear fell down her cheek. “What if he doesn't wake up?” The tears grew more frequently.
“He will. James is a fighter and he will not give up.” Sirius gripped her hand tightly and pulled it to his lips. “Just keep thinking positively.” Kissing her knuckles. “Come here. Let's get some sleep.” Holding his arms out to her, once he let go of her hand. May smiled and climbed onto the bed and into his arms. Both of them watched James and waited for him to wake up from his unconsciousness. Sirius fell asleep with his arms around May but she was still awake. She needed her brother and with him unconscious, she couldn't sleep.
May finally fell asleep after an hour of watching her brother. Her dreams were broken. She kept dreaming about the attack at Hogsmeade. She remembered seeing someone but couldn't see their face. They had pushed her to safety but began fighting against the villagers and older students. She jerked awake but a warm arm around her waist told her she was safe. Firstly she looked at James, who was still unconscious and then looked at Sirius, who was still sleeping. She sighed heavily and relaxed into his arms.
Hannah had returned and smiled when she saw May in bed with Sirius and also awake. She sat on the chair that sat between James and Sirius' bed. “How is Sirius?” She asked softly.
“He's fine now.” May's hand rested over the top of Sirius'. “Just waiting for James to wake up.” Sighing heavily as her brow furrowed in thought. “I think one of the students is a Death Eater.”
“What?” Hannah gasped and moved forward, closer to May. “What makes you say that?”
“I keep trying to remember what happened in Hogsmeade and I remembered that a student pushed me away from the danger and trying to get me to go back to school. But then I keep seeing the person running towards the Death Eaters and turning against the villagers.” She closed her eyes to try and picture the person but he was always blurry.
“Have you told any of the Professors about this?” Hannah asked in a panic. “Have you told Sirius?”
“You're the only person I've told.” May spoke quietly. “It might just be my imagination. Two people have moulded into one.” She gave a small smile as she moved into Sirius' comfort, who tightened his hold on her in his sleep. “It will probably come back to me soon.”
“I'll let you get some rest.” Hannah spoke softly and stood up, leaving May to try and piece together the of the attack on Hogsmeade. May fell asleep once again in Sirius' comfortable embrace.
“May...” A voice came into her slumber, followed by a pair of lips touching her nose. “Someone here to see you.” Sirius' voice grew more clearer. “Oi! Wake up.” He whispered in her ear. “James is awake.”
May groggily opened her eyes and she saw that James was lying on his side and smiling at her. “James!” She gasped at the sight of him wide awake. “Oh thank Merlin!” She climbed out of Sirius' bed and sat on James' bed. “Are you okay?”
“Much better.” He grinned at her. “I'm guessing you missed me.”
May leant down and hugged her brother but not too tightly. “Every second.” Sitting up straight. “Jamie, I can't remember much. Barely anything.” Tears ran down her cheeks. “I hate it.” The tears fell faster.
“Same here.” James sighed heavily. “Don't worry May. It will come back to you.” He raised his hand and got rid of her tears. “Cheer up. I'm awake.”
“That's why I'm crying.” May joked as she stood up and walked back to sit with Sirius, who was now sitting up straight. She leant into his embrace and her boyfriend put an arm around her. “Glad you're awake, Jamie. Was too quiet.” Until visiting hours were over, the friends sat around James and Sirius' beds and tried to piece together what happened. James and Sirius were like May and could not remember much.
The next day, Professor Dumbledore came to the Hospital Wing and asked to speak with the Marauders, Lily, Hannah and May alone. “Right, you all know that a certain wizard has been rising in the Dark Arts and now he is rising too high. Mr Potter, do you remember anything?”
“I...” James was about to speak but stopped. “I do. He was there!” He looked at the headmaster in shock. “He tried to get me to join him!”
They all gasped and stared at James. “What?” May gasped at him. “What did you say?”
“I said no, of course. He used the Cruciatus curse against me.” James closed his eyes at the memory of the terrible curse. “Does my mother know what has happened?”
“Yes.” Dumbledore spoke the simple word with a nod. “She was going to come here but she is unwell.”
“What?!” James and May said in unison.
“Why weren't we told?” May said in anger and stared at Dumbledore, who did not even flinch at the anger from the siblings. “What's wrong with her?”
“I don't know but she is recovering. It is not serious and she will be there to meet you at King's Cross tomorrow.” Dumbledore said as he stood up. “I'll leave you to rest, Mr Potter and Mr Black.” He left the Hospital Wing while whistling an unknown tune.
The remaining few stayed and talked but James and May were silently. They may have lost their father a few months ago, it still hurt them and to now be told that their mother was ill, it hurt them even more. The two of them were still young, too young to lose both parents. Madam Pomfrey came forward and shooed away the visitors but May refused to move. “Please, let me stay.” She begged the matron. “I don't want to sleep alone tonight.” Tears ran down her cheeks.
Madam Pomfrey sighed and nodded slowly. “Behave though.” Looking between May and Sirius, raising an eyebrow. But she was shocked when May climbed into bed with her brother, who wrapped his arms around her in comfort.
“She's fine, May. I'm sure she'll be fine.” James hugged her tightly. Sirius stepped forward, limping a little and pulled the blanket up and over them. “Thanks, mate.” Smiling at Sirius as he climbed into his own bed, facing them. “Get some sleep. Home tomorrow.”
May sighed and nodded. “Home.” It did not take them long to fall asleep.

The group of friends relaxed in the train compartment as the train rattled along the line back towards London. May and Sirius sat together by the window, watching the countryside pass them by. “Are you coming back to our house?”
“Yes. I need to sort a few things out before I go to the flat.” He held her tightly and kissed the top of her head. “Plus, it would not seem right to not see your mum.” She laughed lightly. “Besides, I need to ask her something.”
“What's that?” May spoke quietly and slightly nervously. She thought he had guessed her secret.
“To ask your mum if you could stay with me part of the summer. Not all of it but some of it.” He smiled softly as he watched the countryside disappear and slowly become buildings, which grew and grew. “Nearly there.” May twisted in his arms, turning her face up to face him and kissed him. “What was that for?”
“I felt like it.” She giggled softly. “For just being you.” Kissing him again before untangling herself from his arms and stood up. “I won't be long. Just going to the bathroom.” Walking out of the compartment and in the direction of the bathrooms. She didn't pay attention to who she was passing. A hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a compartment. Her shock grew when she saw the person. “Joshua!” She pulled her wrist from his grip. “Get it into your head! I don't want to be with you!”
“I...” He stopped himself and grabbed her wrist again. “I do! I love you May!” He pulled her into his chest. “I'd do anything for you.” Pressing his lips forcibly against her lips.
May pushed him away and slapped him hard across the cheek. “Stop it! What has gotten into you?” She tried moving around him but he blocked the way. “Stay away from me!” Pushing him.
“No!” He kissed her again and once again she pushed him away and struck him across the cheek. His anger rose in him. “I will have you!” He grabbed her forearms and forced her downwards onto the compartment seat. “The Dark Lord said I could.”
“What?” May gasped. Her eyes went wide as Joshua climbed off her and stood facing the door. “It was you! You were the student I saw turn and fight against us.” She scrambled to her feet and stared at him in fear. “I thought it would be a Slytherin, not a Ravenclaw!” she stepped away from him as he turned around to face her. “Why?” She asked.
“I'm an outcast in my family! I'm like your prick of a boyfriend. I was meant to be in Slytherin! The whole of my family have been in Slytherin and I'm the one who has disappointed and shamed my family. Joining the Dark Lord's cause, I have gained some respect with my family.” He slowly moved towards her, pulling his wand out. “He wants as many purebloods to join his cause. And what better purebloods than the Potter's?”
“No!” She shook her head. “We'd never join him!”
“I'm afraid, you'll have no choice.” Pointing his wand at her and about to hex her but she was quicker.
“Stupefy!” she cried and sending him flying out of the compartment door and hitting the train wall. Students came out to see what was happening. May quickly rushed out of the compartment and ran back towards her previous compartment but James and Sirius were already coming towards her, along with Remus, Peter, Hannah and Lily. “It was Joshua!!” Tears ran down her cheeks as she ran into Sirius' arms, as he was the first one to reach her. “Joshua is a Death Eater.”
“What?” James growled as he took out his wand and moved forward, only to find Joshua had gone. “What did he want?” He asked once he returned to May.
“Us.” She stared at James, tears streaked her cheeks. “The Potter's. He said that Voldemort wants to recruit as many purebloods as he can and that includes us.”
“What did you say?” His eyes wide with fear.
“I said no!” She spoke angrily at her brother. “Despite everything, I'm not stupid James!” She pulled herself away from Sirius and returned to the compartment to get her things. Sirius followed her. “I can't believe he thought I would actually consider joining!” Grabbing her bag and jacket. “He is such an idiot.”
“He was looking out for you, baby.” He grabbed his stuff too. “He thought you had be pressured into saying 'yes'. He was thinking about your safety.” He pulled her into a tight hug, kissing the top of her head. “Don't be angry with him. He loves you so much May. It would kill him if he lost you.” May relaxed in his arms. “He nearly did. When you fell down the Astronomy Tower steps and nearly didn't wake up. James was so close to giving up on life.”
“I forgot that.” May sighed against his chest as the train slowly pulled into King's Cross Station. “I hate it when you're right.” She giggled and he led her out of the compartment.
He moved her away from the direction James was, just in case they would both still be angry at the other. “I think you best write to Dumbledore about Joshua.”
“What's the point? He's finished school now.” May sighed heavily. “I'll still write to him but I doubt it would do any good. His family will protect him.” Shrugging her shoulders. “I actually felt sorry for him. He said he was like you. Sorted into the wrong house. His family were all in Slytherin but he was the only one to be sorted into a completely different house. But he is different to you. He wanted to be in Slytherin.”
“Oh right.” Sirius said in shock as he led May off the train and to get their trunks. “You should definitely write to Dumbledore. He might find it important.”
“Ok.” She sighed heavily as she pulled her trunk away from the train as Sirius went to get his own. James came walking towards her. “Hi.” She spoke softly. “I'm sorry.”
“Me too.” James smiled and took her trunk. “Mum and I will meet you and Sirius on the other side.” He gave her a one armed hug. “I really am sorry.”
“I know.” She chuckled lightly and the pair of them parted. May waited for Sirius, who soon returned with a red mark on his cheek. “What in the world happened to you?” Cupping his cheek. “Who the hell did that to you?” Sirius didn't say another word and looked behind him. There was his mother escorting Regulus away from the train and towards the pair of them. “Nasty cow.” May sneered. “Why did she do that?”
“Just for being here.” He spoke calmly and led May away towards the exit. “She was annoyed that I was actually near her.” He laughed loudly. “Plus I retaliated, which she hates.” the two laughed as they left the platform, away from Sirius' past family.

“I... I'm sorry my lord. I tried but she is too strong willed.” Joshua stuttered as he knelt in front of the intimidating wizard.
“Useless boy! You were told to get her! Not persuade her!” Voldemort snarled down at the cowering young man. “Crucio!” He said quietly and pointed at Joshua, who screamed and twitched violently due to the curse. Voldemort pulled the curse off Joshua. “Now! You will forcibly bring the girl to me and make sure her brother knows. As he will follow her.”
“Yes, my lord.” Joshua spoke as he stood up and bowed to him. “I will not fail you.”
“I hope you do not or it will be the death of you.” Voldemort sneered and disapparated away, followed by the rest of the Death Eaters, all except Joshua and his elder brothers.
“Don't fail, boy!” The eldest brother, Carlos, sneered in the same tone as the Dark Lord. “Don't fail this family.” He stood in front of the trembling 18year old and raised his hand and backhanded him. “Don't bring any more shame on us.” He and the second brother, Marcus disapparated away, leaving Joshua standing alone. It wasn't long before Joshua collapsed to the floor in floods of tears. He was in a tight spot now. The only way to get out of it was to get the Potter's in the hands of the Dark Lord.
