He was her best friend. Her first best friend, and she'd never forget it. He was her first real friend. Sure, she had friends at school, but it was always just her and her sister, and to be completely honest, her sister wasn't the greatest person to be around.
Then she met him. He wasn't her knight in shining armor, but he was as good as. He introduced her to a world of magic, her fairytale land with mountains, lakes, valleys. He showed unmistakable signs of being neglected, but he didn't seem to care, and if he was happy so was she.
Finally she went to her fairytale land, she was seperated from her best friend, but she still saw him. It was like he wasn't gone. There was always James Potter, though. Why did he have to be so mean? It all happened that one day. Her worst memory.
"Leave him ALONE!" Lily shouted. "What'd he ever do to you"
"It's more the fact he exsists if you know what I mean." James replied.
Lily was not amused. "Let him down!" she shouted getting closer to James, as if that would help.
"I don't need help from a filthy little Mudblood like you!" Snape shouted.
Lily turned away from James and looked at Snape, other than the fact she raised her eyebrow she seemed undeterred by his statement.
"Apologize to Evans!" James shouted.
"He doesn't need to apologize to me, " Lily said cooly. "I just won't bother in the future"
"Yes he does!" said James, "It's horrible for him to call you that!" James met Lily's eyes and he suddenly had an idea, Snape was still hanging in the air.
He turned back to Snape and sneered. "No, you're right Evans, " he said, "Snape doesn't need to apologize. Maybe we need to remind him who you are"
Lily had to think through what James was saying exactly, but before she could, James had grabbed her and pressed his lips to hers fiercly. She was slightly shocked at this but answered his kiss with equal ferocity. James was so surprised at this he dropped his wand and Snape fell to the ground with a thud, but James and Lily didn't seem to notice. Sirius grabbed James' wand so Snape wouldn't take it, but there was no need. No matter how hard Snape tried to keep it in, he couldn't he let out a huge sob that broke Lily back to reality and ran the other way. Lily pushed away from James and ran after Snape.
"Sev! Sev! Come back!" she called, but he didn't look back. "Evans!" James called.
"Leave me alone!" she shouted and ran after Snape again.
Sirius walked over to James, smirking. James didn't seem to register he was there until he moved again. He glanced over and said, "What does she see in him?" James asked.
"I don't think she likes him, mate. They're just friends." Sirius replied.
James looked at him unbelivably. "It's the other way around for Snape." Sirius said quickly, defending himself.
James looked back to the spot Lily dissapeared.
xxx.
"Sev!" Lily called again, she knew he was here somewhere.
"Go away." a voice called. Snape's voice was muffled. He was obviously trying to hide the fact he was crying.
"I'm not leaving 'til you come out." Lily said.
Snape walked out from behind a statue. His eyes red and tear tracks down his face. Lily felt terrible. "What'd you do that for?" he demanded angrily, wiping his eyes. "What'd you call me Mudblood for?" she shot back.
Snape was silent then said, "So was that all it was? Revenge"
Lily knew he was worried about this. "I dunno." she said calmly.
"Evans!" came James voice again.
"Go ahead, go. Go snuggle up with him in the common room, don't even worry about me." said Snape nastily. "Maybe I will." Lily replied, turning around and walking staight into James. She looked up at him, and he smiled.
"You should watch where you're going, Evans." She blushed and James turned to Snape. "What're you dirtying up the hallway for?" he demanded. Snape gave him a look of utmost loathing and walked away.
The title is from the song "Light up the Sky" by Yellowcard.
I think it fits for the Lily/Snape and Lily/James relationships.
Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you
Let me tell you why I would die for you
You should listen to it, it's good. Anyways, R&R.
