Her hair was like gold whenever she moved. It shone brighter than the sun as she stood in the day. Her smile gave him chills every time she looked at him. He loved her, there was no question about it. Vivian Bennington was the love his life. Many thought that Severus was in love with Lily Evans, James Potter's girl, but know one knew of his love for Vivian, the friend of James's group. She was Lily's best friend, confidant. But whenever Vivian looked at Severus, her smile brightened and it gave something to him, something to hold onto as James and Sirius antagonized him.

Severus watched from afar by a tree on the Hogwarts grounds. He watched Lily and Vivian lay in the sun on the grass. It was a Saturday, no classes for the day. Severus watched Vivian and Lily laugh and roll on the grass together. Then his smile faded when he watched James and Sirius run over to them, Sirius diving down to the ground, burying his face into Vivian's neck, causing her to erupt in laughter. Severus looked away, looking back to the book in his hands. She was with that dolt and there was nothing he could do or say. He turned back to the couples as James held Lily in his arms and Sirius held Vivian. He watched as Sirius and James exchanged jokes and caught a glimpse of Vivian looking at him. He looked back at her, looked at her deep brown eyes as if he could get lost in them forever. Vivian's lips parted as she looked at him, her smile broadening as she brushed hair from her face.

"Hey there, Severus!" Sirius shouted and Severus looked away from Vivian and looked back to the book. Vivian's smile faded and she shoved Sirius.

"Don't be an arse, Sirius. Leave him alone." Vivian said and Lily nodded, looking to Severus then to James who rolled his eyes. Sirius stood, leaving Vivian on the grass. Vivian looked up at him, her mouth open as she watched him move over to the tree. Severus stood, looking away from him and tried to get away.

"Where are you off to, huh? Next stalker meeting? Next topic, my girlfriend, huh?!" Sirius shouted and shoved Severus into a tree. Severus winced as his hand went to the back of his head, feeling something wet. He pulled his hand away and saw blood on his finger tips.

"Stop!" Vivian shouted and Sirius ignored her as James laughed and egged him on. Lily looked at James and he stopped but still had a smile on his face. Vivian ran toward them, her long blonde hair dancing behind her as she did. She reached Sirius and Severus and shoved Sirius off of Severus, knocking him to the ground. "I said, stop!" Vivian shouted and Sirius looked up at her from the ground.

"Bloody hell, woman!" Sirius shouted and Vivian shook her head, looking down at him.

"We're done." She said, coldly and took Severus by the hand and led him away from the tree.

"Wha?!" Sirius said loudly to her back. He watched Vivian walk away with Severus, seeing James and Lily look to him as they walked over.

"You alright?" James asked, helping Sirius to his feet. Sirius sighed, nodding his head as he watched Vivian walk into the school.

"I guess." Sirius said and walked away from them. Lily looked away from Sirius and looked to James.

"You two shouldn't treat him like that. What has ever done to you?" She asked and James sighed, looking away from her then looking back slowly.

"It's innocent fun." He said and Lily shook her head, pointing to the tree, seeing the blood smug.

"Does that look innocent to you?" She asked before moving away from James. James turned around and looked at the bloody spot on the tree trunk then looked back to Lily.

"Lil!" James called back to his girlfriend then ran after her as fast as he could to catch up to her.
