Chapter One

Lily Potter wondered as she caressed her seventh month pregnant belly she had decided to have a girl's night. It wasn't as though she could drink and while her friend got increasingly tipsy as the night wore on, she remained sober.

"Come on Lills, th'res dis spaal I wan' ya ta cast." She stared at her friend Megan, who after she drank about a pint started to have a slur to her speech. A slur that only got worse with time. "eef ou don' den I wheel!" She said and laughed.

"Oh alright what spell is it?" Lily asked and the girl took a paper from her pocket and handed it to Lily.

"'ere ou go Lils." Her friend said and patted Lily's hair.

"It won't hurt the baby will it?"

"Ieed nefer 'urt 'ittle 'ary." Her friend said and smiled at Lily. "Jus' say it okay?"

Lily frowned, if she didn't trust sober Megan more then anyone, she wouldn't be doing this spell. "Animaveritas." Lily cast the spell and felt as though she'd been hit over the head. Suddenly she remembered Potter staring at her as she drunk something in seventh year. Something that had obviously made her love him, when she didn't even like him. Even though they had been together for four years, she couldn't allow herself to continue a relationship built on a lie. Not to mention the fact that when the spell was cast, all her previous feelings of love for Potter were gone. He was a ponce and he never seemed that interested in what she was saying. She felt herself becoming increasingly angry at Potter and took several deep breaths as to not do anything rash.

However at the same moment in time a golden light filled the room for a moment, before Severus appeared on her dining room table. He was fast asleep and snoring with a nazal buzzing sound that she had thought adorable when Severus fell asleep in frount of her as a teenager. It had only happened a few times and only because Severus had been exhausted, never really being able to sleep properly with his father in the house. Now he seemed to be truly at peace for a moment, Lily gently caressed the face of her friend.

" 'ya need ta kiss him." Megan told Lily, pulling out a sobering potion and gulping it down. "It will break the spell."

"How did you know to counter the love potion?" Lily asked.

"Lily my girl, you don't go from hating to loving a bloke overnight. I knew there was something right dogey there and decided that you needed some help. Sorry that it took as long as it did."

"That's alright, I know you tried to find something as fast as you could. Thank you Megan."

"Don't go thanking me yet, Lily dear. You see that in order to release you from Potter's hold, I had to bind you to another. At least this time round its your soulmate and I might add a man that would do anything for you. The spell gives a person their soulmate, no matter where they might be, past, present or future. I plan to use it myself in a little while, after I move in and everything. Though Severus here won't waken till you kiss him.

"Lily flower, I'm home." James said coming out through the fireplace.

"Go away James I want a divorce! You used a love potion on me, how could you?"

"Lily...I..." James said.

"Go away now, or Harry will grow up knowing that his mother hexed off his father's bits. I will file for papers in the morning." She said and James looked stunned as she took out her wand, his face paled and he made a dash for the fireplace. "Now Megan I think you should be going home."

"Alright Lily, I know you need some time to figure out what to do next. Just know that I'm here for you Lily."

"Thank you Megan." She said and watched as her friend left. She then turned to Snape, seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she didn't have the heart to wake him up. Instead she gently levitated him over to the couch and covered him with a blanket. She moved his hair back from his face and smiled. Lily turned off the light and left the room, going to the guestroom, she couldn't stand to be near the bed she and James slept in. She felt tears come to her eyes and started to cry, she felt overwhelmed by everything that was hapening in her life. After some time, she stopped crying and fell asleep.
