Hello Wizarding World lovers!

I've been really really really busy but in honour of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", I've decided to start a new Fanfic. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the first chapter of this story I've created inside my mind. Sorry for any gramatical mistakes! Feel free to review, give me ideas, and constructive criticism.

I'll try to update as often as possible! Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing (sadly...) just the plot line.

Third person POV

On a playground near their house, two sisters were playing as a young small boy with long greasy hair was watching them from behind a bush.

The boy, Severus Snape, had been following the girls around for weeks without them noticing. The first time he saw both of them was when the Evans family was walking around the neighborhood and Lily Evans, the youngest sister, was making a small leaf levitate behind her back. A muggle family with a witch for a daughter. He was quite surprised when he found out that the red haired girl belonged to his world. Since then, Severus has been planning a way to talk to the red haired girl and hoping to befriend her before the letter to Hogwarts came. He wanted to impress her, tell her everything before anyone else could so that when the time was right to go to school she would never leave his side.

Summer had arrived a month ago and the girls came down to play in the park quite often. Sometimes with the whole family, sometimes just Lily and her oldest sister, Petunia, and other times both sisters and her friends. He tolerated Petunia and Lily's friends but he couldn't stand her muggle friend and, best friend at the moment, Sebastian Rogers.

The blond blue eyed boy fancied Lily, Severus was sure. He always brought her sweets and complimented her. However, the red haired girl didn't seem to notice and that was one thing the boy wearing the oversized clothes liked about her, her innocence.

Severus had been longing to talk to Lily but he didn't have the courage. He knew Lily had a good heart but with her sister it was a whole different story. Petunia knew who he was, she had seen him before and with disapproving eyes. Once, he had been sitting near a tree at the playground and before he could notice and hide, he overheard the kids of the neighborhood talking. Sebastian was asking Petunia where her sister was and she told him Lily was sick so she couldn't come.

At that point, Severus didn't know what to do, normally, he doesn't talk to muggles or anyone at all. He was disappointed because Lily wasn't there but relieved at the same time because the red haired girl wouldn't see him making a fool of himself. It was too late to hide or run away the other kids had seen him. He wasn't facing them, he just stood there in silence with his heart beating as fast as the fastest broom in the market.

The kids were laughing as they approached to were Severus was and Sebastian had pointed out they were 9. If they wanted the game to be even, since Lily wasn't there to play soccer, they would need someone else.

"Lou, look! We could ask that boy over there if he wants to play with us." - Marvin, one of Sebastian's friends, asked his sister Louise.

"No way Marv! Remember what father told us, the Snape's aren't the best people in the neighborhood." - said Louise.

"Where does he live? And why is he wearing those horrendous clothes? - Petunia asked in a high pitched voice.

"Down the street, near the river. My mother said I shouldn't trust the Snape's. I overhead her talking with Miss Samuels and she said they are weird." - Jake, another member of the group, said. - "My mom tried to be nice to them when they moved in and his father practically closed the door in her face shouting a weird word at her."

"I agree with you Lou, we shouldn't ask him to play with us. He looks like a freak." - Petunia remarked.

"But we're 9! Without Lily here the game won't be even" - Sebastian pouted. – "Seriously Tuney, I'm going to run back to your house and beg for Lily to come out to play if we don't find someone else. Let's just ask the Snape boy and if he tries something I will defend all of you."

Petunia laughed - "Don't worry Sebastian. Look, here comes Antoine! He'll play with us."

"Yes, I agree with the others, I don't want play with that Snape boy. Let's listen to Lou and Petunia, they are the eldest so they know better" - Elizabeth pointed out.

That was all Severus needed to hear, he stood up and ran back to his house. Those kids were never going to understand him, they didn't belong to his world but Lily did. He needed to talk to her but how? She was always surrounded by those muggles. He needed to be quick, he was running out of time, that Hogwarts letter would be arriving soon and if he didn't talk to her before that event he would ruin his chance of befriending Lily Evans. Severus decided that the next time he saw Lily he would speak to her but only if she was alone or with her sister, since it was her family, but never in front of those friends of her.

The days passed, Lily got better but she was never alone. If it wasn't her group of friends, it was Sebastian or her whole family who were with her. Severus was jealous, without knowing it, he had developed strong feelings for the girl. He had memorized her voice, her way of walking and even if she was miles away he knew it was her. He wouldn't admit it but he had been spying her for weeks, had practiced in his room what he was going to tell her and imagined they were friends.

July came around and finally the day arrived. Lily was at the playground only with her sister and Severus was hiding behind a bush waiting for the right time to make his appearance and fighting his nervousness.

Severus Snape's POV

The day has finally come and I have to talk to her before it is too late. Oh Merlin, my hands are sweaty... my heart is beating fast. I need to calm down, I've practiced what I am going to tell her but what if she doesn't like me? No, she likes everyone and she's sweet to everyone unlike the others. Hopefully, that Rogers boy didn't tell her about the incident the other day, that would ruin my plan. I saw him trying to hold her hand the other day but he failed at it because she was distracted... does she like him? I've heard they were best friends but best friends can like each other. I want to become her best friend that way she will like me.

What am I saying? Stop Severus, you are over thinking this situation and you sound like an idiot.
