A/N This is an alternate universe where Lily loves Severus and Severus loves Lily. The Marauders are best friends with Lily, James and Lily don't like each other at all. Severus never called Lily a mudblood and he gave up his dreams of becoming a death eater for her. Severus deserves his happy ending, so that's what I'm giving him.

OoOoOoOoO

Lily finished her makeup and threw her hair up in a ponytail. She walked out her room and threw the head's common room. The portrait of the mermaid swung open revealing Severus. Lily smiled at him, and rushed forward. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, enveloping her in a hug.

"Come on Lil."

"Where are we going?"

"To the lake."

"But it's all dark out. You know I hate the dark."

"Trust me Lil, you've never seen it at night. It's beautiful. Please." She softened at his pleading voice, and gave in.

"Fine." They started walking, and Lily grabbed Severus's hand. He smiled at her and they walked the way in a comfortable silence. Severus and Lily had been a couple since the end of fifth year. They were now almost done with their seventh year. Lily was secretly hoping he would ask him to marry her after they graduated.

Lily thought about how she wanted to have two children. They could move to Godric's Hollow. He had decided he wanted to be a Potions professor at Hogwarts. She wanted to be an Auror. It would hard to do with him being away most of the year, but they could make it work. They had to, they loved each other, and love could conquer all.

Lily stopped in her track and stepped closer to Severus who was giving her a questioning look.

"I love you Severus Snape." Then Lily kissed him. When she pulled away he had a huge smile on his face, a mirror image of her own.

"I love you too Lil." With that they turned back and continued walking. When they got to the lake, Severus threw down a big blanket and they both laid down on it side by side. Lily was holding tight onto his hand, trying not to think about what could be hidden behind the cloak of darkness.

"Watch the stars Lil. You have to wait a few minutes."

"Wait for what?"

"You'll see." She moved over closer to him, and rested her head on his shoulder, pressing her body against his. He wound his arm around her pulling her closer.



"There Lil, it's starting. Look over there." He said as he pointed. She looked up and smiled. It was a meteor shower. This was what he had been so eager about. He had been excited all week, but he hadn't told her why.

"Sev, it's beautiful." He smiled, he loved when she called him that. They remained out there until one in the morning. Lily had just fallen asleep, but Severus didn't have the heart to wake her up. He picked her up, holding her in his arms bridal style. He managed to pick up the blanket with her, wrapping her in it so she wouldn't be cold.

He carried her all the way up to the castle, through the corridors and up the seemingly endless stairs. He was exhausted but he kept going. He ran into James just he reached the portrait of the mermaid.

"Hello James."

"Severus." They got together alright because of Lily, but they weren't too fond of each other. After a second of awkwardness Severus walked through the portrait and went into Lily's room. He placed her gently on the bed and pulled the covers up around her. Severus kissed her lightly on the forehead and left. James already in his own room.
