Remembering Lily

A/N: Sup people! Yeah, anyway, here's the deal. Professor Snape is grading papers when he remembers someone. If you can't figure out who it is, well, then you need help! :) Anyway...enjoy!

Disclaimer: If I was J.K.Rowling, I would be writing Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. For those of you who don't know what I mean, I own nothing except the plot and all stuff you don't recognize.

Chapter 1: Grading Papers

Professor Severus Snape was found one rainy night in his office grading some 4th year Gryffindor papers. He worked diligently, only pausing to switch papers. It was a lonely process, but he never complained. That is, until he got to Hermione Granger's paper. Hermione the perfect student whose greatest fear was receiving a 9 out of 10 on a piece of homework.

"Idiot girl," he said, "always writing more than what is asked for." As usual, she made a perfect score and wrote a whole parchment more than what was required. Nevertheless, he continued grading papers. Nothing interrupted his train of thought until he reached Harry Potter's essay.

Severus remembered how he had overheard a conversation Harry had with Cho Chang. From what he heard, Potter was trying to ask Cho to Triwizard Yule Ball. He was about to tell them to kindly not pass hormones in the corridors when they both quickly walked off, each looking embarrassed.

Severus quickly scanned the paper. Of course there were a few mistakes, but overall Harry did ok. He continued working on when he suddenly took out Harry Potter's paper again. All he did was stare at it through watery eyes. He knew he should just push it out of his memory. He did not want to remember this, and yet, he did. Potter's conversation with Cho made him remember...the rain made him remember...even Hogwarts made him remember...it was on this cold rainy night that the Potion Master remembered Lily.

A/N: I know it's short but there was nothing left to add. I already have the second chapter written...I just want some reveiws telling me if I should continue! Remember, you are welcome to comment and say just about anything. I don't mind criticism or suggestions. I love all my reviewers!
