My summary is awful, and don't take my story to be as awful as that.

Here is the beginning of a very long Harry Potter fanfiction that starts off during the Marauders era with Snape, Lily, James, Lucis, etc and an original character of mine. Where it ends? Well... you'll have to find out.

I do not own Harry Potter, the amazing JK Rowling does.

In Severus Snape's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he hadn't expected to make any new friends, as his first year backfired when a group of Gryffindor's decided he was their, ahem, "play toy". Upon receiving the nickname Snivellus during just the train ride, he had given up hope on that lot entirely. As far as Severus knew, he had two friends. Lily Evans, a childhood friend and near love of his life; and Lucius Malfoy, a now sixth year Slytherin that befriended him the year before.

He hadn't paid much attention to the sorting ceremony, eyes boring holes into the red hair covered head of Lily who had been sorted into Gryffindor. She would have been safe with him in Slytherin, despite the Pure-blood mania surrounding the House, but at least she would be away from them. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter... Peter Pettigrew, he believed was his name. His hateful thoughts were disrupted when he had received a slight nudge from Lucius, he turned to look at his blonde companion.

"There she is," he gestured toward a girl walking up toward the sorting hat, sitting down on the stool. Short, choppy russet locks ended at her shoulders, bright blue eyes stared vacantly toward the sea of students before her. She was noticeably tapping along the stool, in an even beat. Her skin was creamy, a few freckles spotted across her cheeks but nothing too noticeable. What had been notable was the slight flush across her cheeks at the vast majority of eyes staring at her. "That's Christina Nooley. Her family is, what I'd like to say, involved with mine and their workings. She'd probably be beaten if she's not in-"

"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin table broke out into a roar of excitement as the blushing brunette found her way down from the stool and toward the table. When her cerulean eyes met with Lucius' pale grey ones, a smile slipped onto her lips as she waded her way towards him. Somewhat of a smirk replaced his scowl as he extended a hand in a slight wave, his way of greeting her and calling her to him.

"Lucius!" Christina gasped, sitting across from him between what she assumed was a fifth year and maybe a few third and second years. Her eyes glanced over Severus and he could swear there was slight contempt behind the friendly façade. "It's good to see a familiar face. Mother and father will be happy to hear of my placement." Lucius nodded in agreement, then made a sideways glance toward Severus. Christina switched her attention to Severus, and she put a hand out to him. "Christina Nooley, and you are?"

Severus was, to say the least, in shock. Even though he was in Slytherin; a pure blood, well as most people believed he was; friends with Lucius who was, to say the least, popular; alas, he still hadn't many friends. And here he was, a hand offered in a friendly manner in a greeting of sorts. Quick Severus! Snap out of it before she retracts her hand! Awkwardly extending his hand, he grabbed hers and shook it once before breaking contact and pulling his hand back into his chest.

"S-Severus," he started shakily, "Severus Snape." A chuckle escaped her mouth and he froze. He expected this to happen, why on Earth would someone who already knew Lucius to deal with him as he did? Impossible. Improbable.

"I wish my name was as interesting as both of yours. Lucius' name is two letters from luscious, and your surname is one letter change from snake." Severus decided that this girl was quirky, maybe somewhat like Lily who had assumed a quick friendship with him as well. Perhaps if he played his cards right, Christina, too, would become his friend. After all, Severus was in need of friends, having none at home sans Lily, and only one more at Hogwarts, Lucius. He felt a warmth on his face when he realized while Christina was talking to Lucius, she kept a steady gaze on him, the end of her lips perked up into a slight smile.

One gloomy butterfly fluttered in his stomach and he dragged his eyes away, back to staring at the love of his life. The conversation of the two besides him was lost in his ears as his eyes were lost in a sea of red.

Oh Lily...

Well?
