A/N: the lily is not lily potter, but Lily Snape. Remus' and Severus' adopted daughter.
Lily looked around; her father and her dad were no-where to be seen. She began to sneak into the living room turning so she could watch the stairs. She backed straight into her father. She whirled about looking Severus Snape right in the face.
"BUT Father! It's the largest party in the neighborhood. If I don't go to this I'll never have friends and I'll die old and lonely and all of my would-have-been friends will hate me!" she pouted and flailed her arms around in desperation.
"You will not loose all your friends just because your parents didn't let you go to this party." Severus responded calmly.
"What do you know! It's not like you ever had friends!" she turned and stormed off… right into her dad.
"Where are you running to?" Remus hugged his adopted daughter
"Daddy! Father won't let me go to the block party because there are boys there!" she pouted this time just for effect.
"You should apologize to him. I think you hurt your father's feelings." He looked at the offended Snape who immediately started to deny that he had been hurt.
"I'm sorrieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee." She wailed over Severus' denial "I just really wanted to go to this party!" she strung all her words together.
"Well you can't" her father said simply "you can only stay up an hour for how old you are. And how old are you?" he asked
"10. so I can only stay up till ten o'clock." She mumbled
"And how late does the party go till?" Severus continued
"Midnight" she mumbled again.
"But…" Remus prompted Severus
"Tomorrow I'll take you to see the skate tournament." Severus looked like he could have been talking about a vasectomy.
Snape sat next to his daughter holding the plastic magic fairy wand that he had bought for her looking like the grim reaper. Every once and a while the wand would give off a spurt of glitter dust, showering Snape's gloomy head. Lily Snape thought this was hilarious.
Walking up to sit next to Lily, Arthur's granddaughter, Madeline, ran up to hug Snape then stopped and looked at him. "Where is uncle Remy?" she whined. Arthur looked at severus
"He is having a spa-day and she couldn't go alone." Snape defended
Somewhere in a Japanese Onsen (hot bath) Remus let out a long sigh and sank further into the water. Smiling at his imagination; Snape cheering on the figure skaters.
