Hi all. This is my first fanfiction ever, but I decided that I was in the mood for some Snily fluffy-goodness. And, seeing as, in my own personal opinion, there is not enough happy endings to Snily stories, I've decided to write one! :) Reviews are welcome, as well as constructive criticism, but please, keep your flames to yourself.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, and trust me, if I did, it would not be the same.

Chapter One

It was dark in the corridor. That was the first thing Severus noticed when he awoke from his slumber. It was dark. He cast a charm to see what time it was, and he was shocked to see that it was already a quarter until midnight. He had been waiting for Lily. To tell her that he was sorry, to tell her how he truly felt for her. Obviously, he had fallen asleep again, but that was expected seeing as he had done nothing but worry and care for her and their friendship. By the time he removed himself from his thoughts, it was midnight, and then he heard the noise.

Lily had walked out of the common room to take a midnight stroll and dwell on what she should do concerning her best ex-friend, Severus. And then she noticed him, curled up in a charming little ball, thinking to himself as usual. She couldn't help herself.

"Sev? Are you okay? Mary said you had left already."

Severus looked up and saw her bouncy red curls and smiled sadly. He had missed her beautiful face and amazing green eyes.

"No, Mary told me to leave, but I couldn't do that to myself, so I stayed, fell asleep, and just now awoke."

Lily's eyes widened. Mary had lied to her? She'd never lied to her before, but then again, Mary hadn't been to happy with the idea of her crush on Severus, in the first place, she had to Lily that she should like a real man, like Potter. Lily shuddered within, Potter revolted her. She liked Sev, even after all the things he had said the other day. She just didn't want to ruin the relationship they had together.

"Oh, well, would you like to take a walk with me? To the astronomy tower?"

Severus nodded. "Yeah, I'd love to." Severus got to his feet and looked at Lily, and then, feeling particularly brave moved a stray hair from her face. "You know that if I had one wish, I would wish that scene never happened."

Lily looked at him. She then looked down at her feet, "I know now. You've proved it to me. I forgive you Severus. I really do."

Severus grinned. "Really? Oh thank you Lily! You won't regret it! I promise!" And with that, he took her hand and they walked to the tower.

Once up there, Lily and Severus sat on the edge of the tower, gazing up at the gorgeous night sky. Severus was holding her hand, and he was somewhat surprised when she spoke.

"Severus, what would you do, if I said I wanted to be more than friends with you?" She blushed at her brazenness, but didn't take the question back.

"I guess it would depend on a number of important factors. Such as if you were serious about it, or if it was merely some joke Potter put you up to. If you were serious, then I would do something."

Lily's response was so quiet that Severus almost didn't catch it.

"I am serious. I have been for quite some time."

"Then I would do this." And with that, Severus leaned over, and kissed Lily gently on her soft lips. He moved away somewhat quickly, but he knew Lily would want to take it slow, and he respected her for that.

Lily's eyes were shining when Severus finally glanced her way. "Sev, that, that was a-amazing. Ohmygosh! Does that mean that you feel the same way?"

He looked into her eyes. "Always have. From the moment I saw you."
