Severus stood above his true loves grave... tears trickling down his face he stared down at it, and remembered the price the grave cost, and what he had to do,

Sighing to himself Severus sat next to the window in the Slytherin common room and watched the fish swim by (As the Slytherin common room was in the dungeons, and the window was just a view of the black lake.) The day before Severus had been talking to Lucius who was in the same grade as him, when James came by. Severus had always hated James, but this time something weird happened. James had smiled and winked at Sev. Lucius looking jealous had pulled Severus against him and glared at 's heart had flipped when he was against Lucius, and it pounded through his ribs.

James then stopped and hissed. "You can't keep him forever."

Severus had no idea what any of this meant but it gave him a bad feeling. Lucius replied with. "Watch me."

Severus shook his head and forgot about it for the moment. The charms homework was plentiful though it was easy.

"Hey Sev!" Lucius called walking into the room. Severus gave a start but looked around to see Lucius.

"Oh, hey Luce…."

"How are you?" Lucius asked.

"Uh… good and you?"

"I'm great… now."

Sev looked up at Lucius "Okay then… Dude… no offense but you are starting to scare me just a tiny bit."

Lucius laughed. "I'm only messing with you." But in his eyes something looked hurt.

"Right… I gotta go to class…. See ya Luce!" He replied smiling.

Lucius nearly fainted, he loved Sev's smile.

"Hey! Sev you got a moment!?" James called in potions. Severus turned around and fixed him with a glare before going back to his potion. "I'll take that as a yes…" James muttered walking over until he was an inch away, Severus could feel James's breath on his neck. "Look, I know this sounds really hard to handle… and I haven't told anyone… but… I think I love you Sev…."

Sev ignored how his heart just flipped and muttered. "That's nice." As if he weren't paying attention.

"Hey Sev… you gotta min…. James…" Sirius started to call across the room, he stopped seeing James.

"Go away Sirius!" James hissed.

"Shut it James." Sirius let out a low growl and wrapped his arms around Sev's waist.

Sev pulled out of his grip and continued to ignore them, and the way his heart fluttered.

"Come on Sev…" Sirius groaned.

"Go away!" James repeated.

"Make me!" Sirius growled.

"Why don't you both go away." Sev offered.

Severus turned around in time to see Sirius go flying across the classroom. James smiled. "I did!" James replied.

Sirius stood up and shook off, his eyes slanting to a glare. Suddenly James flipped around and bashed his head off the wall. "And I said I'm not leaving!"

Severus, confused and lost by this fight snuck out of potions and into the boys bathroom to think.
