DISCLAIMER; I do not own Harry Potter and never will. J. K. Rowling is the sole creator and I am but a humble fanfic writer who wishes to flex her story telling abilities.
It had been that day, all those years ago and he figured out what true love was like. He knew that the red hair and the beautiful green eyes were always going to make his heart melt. He had built up walls and attempted to keep everything as it was. Yet this young girl, with the flaming hair, touched his heart and soul.
All the days that had passed in the sunshine, talking about Hogwarts and everything that he was brought up with. She never had the chance to learn about all of that, and had never heard the simple stories that all children heard. They would lie in the grass and just talk and talk. Everything was perfect and there was nothing wrong with the world. She would tell him stories about a mythical world with strange named people. It was just an odd story. Each ago, he would have mocked this girl; his family wouldn't have allowed him to be-friend her. But now his mother had married a muggle and it was fine. For his parents anyways. The rest of the family weren't very happy about anything.
Eyes closed as he lay upon the bed and memories kept floating in and out of his mind. All of this was amazing really. That she could have such an effect upon him without being around him. They were supposed to meet today and he had made up the most amazing plans for her. She meant the world ot him and he was going to keep their friendship as one, until she was ready for something more. The Slytherin sighed and looked over as people came into the room laughing with a smile. Yaxley laughed, " Severus, what are you up to? Not thinking about that mudblood again? " he asked with a smirk as he threw a pillow at the boy.
Mudblood. That is what they called her. They knew his hate for the world but that is what they thought of her. "No...of course not." he lied easily, knowing they would wreck everything if they knew about it. dark eyes closed as they snickered amongst one another about the vile things she had probably done to get her magic. About all those she had probably murdered to get the magic from their blood. Finally he stood up and grabbed his wand, "I'm going out."he almost shouted at them as he walked out of the dorm.
How come they had to do that? Why did everything have to happen like that? He was put into a house where every single person hated her house and her guts. Butterflies came into his stomach as he walked from the common room and out into the drafty hallway. Sighing, he walked along and bumped into the Head of House. "Sorry Professor Slughorn." he said quietly and attempted to move past the man, but was unable to. "Mr. Snape, I meant to speak with you. Your potions essay...it was the best from your house. I can see great things for you in this field. You are a natural it seemed." he said with a smile and clapped the fifteen year old on the shoulder. Blushing, he pulled away and set off once more.
Walking out into the sunshine, he blinked a few times as he looked around. it was bright and sunny, perfect for his planned date with Lily Evans. That simple word before her name made him shiver with glee. A date. Though she never called them that. With a smile, he walked along until he reached the tree where they had always met. She had always been friends with him and they had claimed this tree in their first year. However, he turned his back to the school to see how alone they would be. Seconds later, small, gentle hands covered his dark eyes. Grip tightened upon his wand and he stood ready to fight. At the giggle and the voice-"Guess who Sev..."-he eased from her grip and hugged her. "Lily!" he said happily.
The red-head laughed and hugged the young man before her. Everyone called her crazy. They always had. He was a Slytherin and she was a muggle-born Gryffindor. Did that make any sense? He hated all the muggles she talked of and hated all other muggle-borns. But she didn't see that when she was around him. Around him was like being around herself. He was just like her, and knew everything she told him. Eyes shone as she hugged the boy and held onto his hand. However as they started to walk, it was her turn to have her eyes covered. " Sev? " she asked a bit worried.
"Calm down Lily, trust me."he said with a smile and walked behind her, leading ehr along slowly as they moved towards the spot he had created for them. He smiled and waved his wand with one final flourish and pulled his hands back from her eyes. "Well?" he asked, shifting from foot to foot nervously.
Lily stood in the middle of a little willow tree, a picnic blanket spread out on the grass beneath them. There were little candles floating around the area, lighting it up and a basket was upon the ground. Lily looked about and could see the water reflecting the sunlight not far away. With a smile, she spun around and hugged the boy. " It is beautiful! " she said happily and hugged him happily.
Severus hugged her tightly and smiled at the young woman in his arms. While they were the same age, he had already grown much taller than her. With a smile, they sat down and began to eat the food. The house elves had outdone themselves with the food and he was shocked to see how much she loved it. He tried to get everything she had liked (well it was hard to see because they were tables apart) but he seemed to have guessed right. With a smile, they kept eating until everything was gone.
Popping open a bottle of Butterbeer, he poured it into two glasses and smiled. They leaned back and started to drink, and laugh. It was just nice to sit together and be happy about everything. With a smile, he looked at her when they finished the first glass and looked at the white fluff upon her lips. Biting his lip softly, he leaned closer and rose a pale, shaking hand. Wiping it from her lip, he looked into her green eyes. They were watching him carefully, looking at everything. Hand ran across her cheek and cupped her chin. Looking at her carefully, he leaned forward slowly.
Lily's hands rose up and rested against his shoulders as her best friend leaned towards her. Eyes fluttered closed as their lips met in the middle someplace. His lips were cold against her own, and a little harsher than others she had kissed. He was still gentle with her, taking it all slowly, but there was a lust behind it she didn't know much about. As the kisses became a little longer, a hand moved up and rested within his black hair. Some said it was greasy, but she found it was just thin. That it was thin and less healthy than others. It wasn't gross and was soft in her fingers.
His own hands grasped her waist and pulled her closer. The girl's legs curled underneath her as she shifted closer to him. It was nice to hold onto her like this and to be able to snog her. She was the sweetest thing in the world and tasted like Butterbeer and candy floss. He had tasted it at the fair near their home town. She had brought him some...With a smile, he leaned her back onto the ground and knelt over her softly. "I-I love you Lily Evans. You're my best friend...and I really do love everything about you. Even if you are a Gryffindor. " he whispered with a smirk. He liked to joke with her a tiny bit. Even in heated moments like this.
What began as innocent snogging began to become more and more personal and passionate. Neither of them really minded, but it was clear that they were starting to get reckless; they were only fifteen. That was too much. "LILY EVANS! WHERE ARE YOU?" a voice called and the girl jumped up quickly. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. She pulled the shirt she wore back over her head and watched Severus stand up as well, panting as hard as her. "Lily..." he whispered weakly, reaching a hand out towards her. She couldn't leave...not now.
" Sev..." she whispered and pulled him close, kissing him before pulling back, " Coming Alice. " she called back and ran off her hair flying out behind her, the marks he had left upon her neck barely covered from the shirt and her hair. She lightly looked at him once more and watched him wave sadly. Blinking back tears, she looped arms with her girlfriends and started to walk with them towards the school once more.
Sitting down sadly, he waved his wand and watched everything go back into place and fix itself. With a sigh, he stood up and fixed his button up shirt and walked back towards the school as well. That was going to be his new dream. Everything that he and Lily had shared and what could have happened. Licking his lips, he moved into the castle and looked up and saw her red hair in the stairs before she disappeared from sight. Eyes closed painfully and he set off to the Library. Better to go there and wait for a while. It killed the time between seeing his 'friends' and seeing Potter and his strange friends.
That was all that had happened that day. That was all they were going to remember for the entire week. That was the best thing possible. Neither spoke of it to friends, but their shared a new secret that everyone would mock them for. But both loved it...
So that is my new litte fanfic about Severus Snape and Lily Evans. So what do you think? Keep writing or leave it as a one-shot? Up to you all.
