This was two days late... sssh. There are two other pieces to accompany this that will be posted separately: Middle and End. Just go over to my profile and you'll see them. I've always been fascinated with Snape's relationship with Lily because I think you can write it from so many different angles and either of them could be the 'bad guy' depending on how you write them.
Beginnings
"How long do you think we'll be friends?" he asked, without looking up.
They sat cross legged in a patch of grass making daisy chains. He punched a hole in each stem with his fingernail and passed them to Lily, who threaded them together until it was longer than her arm.
It was a moment of peace for him, where he could forget the hunger in his stomach, the ache in his decayed teeth and the light in his mother's eyes that dulled every single day.
"Always," said Lily, and she looped the daisy chain over both of their necks.
Thanks for reading.
