"Sev, wait!" called Lily.

"Hurry up!" Snape called back.

They were running through a field of tall grasses and dandelions. There was a tree in the distance, and that's what they were running towards.

Severus slowed down a little to let Lily catch up and he looked back smiling. She smiled back.

They finally reached the tree. Lily turned to Severus. "Is this what you wanted to show me? A big tree?"

He chuckled. "Well, yes. But come here." He started to walk towards the trees uncovered roots. "Down here."

She followed him down into the tree and was amazed to see that it was hollow. The roots created sort of a hidden entrance. Lily walked farther into the tree, marveling at its beauty. She turned around and Severus was standing right behind her.

She looked up into his dark eyes. Her heart was racing, her palms sweaty.

He leaned closer to her and she pressed her lips to his.

The Potions Master awoke in his bed and sat up. Only a dream… he thought to himself. A tear rolled down his pale cheek. Lily had been dead 15 years.
