Okay, this is a new story I randomly came up with! I hope you all enjoy it. Just a WARNING: it won't be happy in the end. Because, well, Snape and Lily just weren't meant to get their happy ending together...:( I am aware that some of the scenes were written into Deathly Hallows, only differently. I changed stuff but it's basically still cannon.
Here ya go!
The song for this chapter is Keep on Lovin You by REO Speedwagon
...When I said that I loved you, I meant that I'd love you forever... :
"Lily!" the young boy called across the train station to the girl with the braids. She turned to the sound of her name only to see the pale, black haired boy standing in between platforms 9 and 10. A tens, seemingly forced smile spread across her face.
She turned to her sister, almsot as if pleading, but it appeared to be of no use. her mother ushered her towards the expectant boy, waving goodbye to the tiny child.
The young girl, called Lily Evans, trudged over to the boy, named Severus Snape, with silent tears tumbling down her face like acrobats.
"What's wrong Lil'?" Severus questioned honestly.
"It's you!" All your fault! Tuny hates me! I don't ever wanna go away without her!" Lily sobbed, her wails now becoming loud and messy.
Snape was hurt by her accusation but wouldn't let it show. He didn't want her to know his only weakness. Her.
"Hey, it'll all be okay. Hogwarts will be amazing. Who needs family? Mine hates me, and I get off just fine. All we need is me and you."
He hoped he was saying the right things. All he wanted was to see her happy, safe, and alive. Each of those things he would take from her, one by one, but for now he desired only that.
Snape would forever regret not voicing his thoughts at that moment. At that time, he just needed her to see how deeply he loved her. Images and thoughts of Lily Evans would haunt him late at night when he lay all alone. He would break for her, and for him all at the same time, over and over again. Each tear he shed would pierce him like many knives, and he enjoyed the pain. Maybe, if he felt enough pain, it would make up for the pain in his heart. The pain forgotten by many, but never him. The pain of loosing Lily, many times. Once when he chose evil, again when she chose James, and then again when she died. And he would cry, again and again and again.
"Sev," Lily whispered, her voice breaking with emotion, "Petunia is all that I have, my best friend. I can't just forget her!"
Snape's picture perfect mask of a smile broke for a split second, but he soon recomposed himself.
"Come on, Lily. We're gonna miss the train. You'll never forget Petunia, but all you need is us. Me and you. I can be everything that you need." Severus was pleading now, hoping she would listen.
A slow smile spread across Lily's face.
"OK. Thanks Sev. Best friends. Always."
Snape grinned and grabbed his things with one hand and Lily's hand with the other. Hand-in-hand the two kids entered Platform 9 3/4.
Soon, the two friends arrived in an empty train car. They set their things down, with Lily's expression a stark contrast to her teary countenance of a few minutes ago. The two of them sat down next to each other, hands still joined. And Snape had never been happier. Because, Severus was in love. Maybe, its wasn't a healthy love, and it would never be enough. But he loved her with all that he had.
She was the first person he had ever really loved. His father thought of him as a gross disappointment, and how could you love someone who was constantly making you aware of how awful you were? His mother, so desperate to please the wretched man, shunned her only child as she fought with a muggle she thought she was in love with.
No, Severus had never loved before, and would likely never love again. Lily Potter had unknowingly captured one hundred percent of his heart. Even at eleven, there would never be anyone else for Snape. There was no one else.
Just then, two boys their age entered the compartment. The leader of the two, or so it seemed, had crooked glasses and disheveled hair (which apparently some girls found attractive). Behind him was a taller, prouder boy with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"And what is this? Sirius, could you tell me why a greasy boy like, that, would be with a beautiful girls such as this?" The first boy mocked, loudly making fun of the two children.
"I haven't the slightest, James! Perhaps they're brother and sister?" The other young man replied, smirking.
The two boys laughed, triumphantly. Snape had a dejected look on his face and waited for Lily to laugh along. He had be hurt to many times in his life not to expect everyone he loved to hate him.
"You leave us alone! You two are nothing but big meanies! As if anyone even likes you!" Lily was furious beyond anything. How dare they make fun of Sev like that?!
"Come on Severus, let's get away from these freaks."
"Oo, Severus!!" They cried mocking their every move, laughing all the while.
"Yes..Snivellus, why don't you go with your girlfriend. More room for us!" The one called James called after them.
Snape, on the verge of tears, fought to keep them inside. For Lily.
"I am so sorry Sev! I had no idea they would make fun of you like that if I said your name!" Lily said, compassionately.
"It's all right. I'm fine." Snape said, though it was far from the truth.
"I know what will make you feel better!" Lily exclaimed, and Snape waited.
Lily said nothing, but smiled.
Then she leaned in towards Severus and lightly pecked him on the lips. Their first kiss. Together.
They both blushed and ran towards another compartment, off to Hogwarts.
I hope you LOVE it!! Haha, I'm excited about this one. Please review lovelies!
