It all started on the school bus
You were nine and I was ten
Remember you had a walkman
All I had was a middle part and a pen
Oh sweet Louise
Whatever happened to her?
Severus Snape remebered getting on the the Hogwarts Express for the first time ever with Lily Evans. She looked nervous so he did his best to comfort her. He remembered thinking how incredible she was.
Then it all went down hill
You grew tall I stayed the same
I guess that that's just puberty
Making us boys play a losing game
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through
Those school uniforms made a joke
Made a joke of me and you
I'm glad I'm not back in school
Snape marveled with bitter amazment that a small thing such as a badge and a few colours could change so much. From the moment she was put in Griffindor he knew things wouldn't be the same again. It was just a uniform but it seperated them; made them different. She said he had changed when he started to be friends with other Slitheryns. He had.
She got an older boy-friend
Had a beard
Smoked Marboro red
How can I compete with that?
I don't even know the location of the bike shed
Oh sweet Louise
I always found it hard to work things through
Those schoool uniforms made a joke of me and you
When she started to go out with James, Snape couldn't believe didn't want to. The first time he saw them together he realised they were not meant to be. His Lily was lost to him, forever.
I remember short skirts
Long hair
My hormones flying everywhere
Her hair was striking. A ruby red colour; appropriate to her temper. Everything about her was beautiful but her eyes caught his attention the most. Whenever he looked in to them he was lost in a sea of green. He had made so many mistakes but the biggest was losing her. He would do what he could for her son. For her. Tears pricked his eyes as he remembered.
Those school uniforms made a joke of you and me.
I'm glad I'm not back at school
They should have been. What if...
