On the Nature of Daylight

by Akoya8

Still the same story just a little revamped. Deals with the friendship of Severus and Lily before and leading up to their Fifth Year. Its sequel is "This Bitter Earth." More edits done.

"On the Nature of Daylight"

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (even though I should), nor do I own "On the Nature of Daylight" (it was composed by Max Richter), and I do not own "This Bitter Earth" (which is sung by Dinah Washington). The quotes that are taken directly from the books are italicized and are nestled between quotation marks.

Meeting

Meeting Lily Evans for the first time could only be measured against his first taste of ice cream.

She was sweet (and slightly sticky, as all children inexplicably are) and the feeling of watching her go could be equated with the sorrow that he felt when he realized that the ice cream was gone. And he had been in such a rush to revel in the new experience of having a friend that he forgot to savor the moments that he had with her.

When he got home that first day he decided that he had a new favorite color: Green, like the color of her eyes when they shone with happiness. Was there such a thing as an ice cream that had that same color of green?
