A/N: I just love this couple, and wanted to put out a fluffy little one shot about the good ole' days.
"Don't you just love it, Lily? Rolling down a grassy hill, it's so amazing!" A nine year old Severus Snape asked with pure excitement on his face as he came and sat at the top of the hill. Lily looked up at him and smiled
"It is Sev, but you know what's even better?" She asked an innocent look in her eyes.
"What would that be?" He prompted, arching an eyebrow. You see, Lily was known to me notoriously mischievous.
"Beating you on the way down!" Lily cried as she quickly tumbled down the hill. Severus immediately followed behind her, but much to his disappointment, came in last. They both started laughing when Severus said,
"I love you Lily." He froze when he realized the words that left his mouth. Lily immediately stopped laughing and looked at him, mouth agape.
"What?" She asked clulessly as that was all she could manage at the moment.
"I love you, Lily Evans, and I will always love you." Severus whispered softly, and reached into his pocket. He grabbed from there, a single lily flower he had found earlier in the day.
"This is for you, you know, because it's a lily. Just like your name." He blushed.
"Oh, thank you Sev! Here, I will put it in my hair. It's beautiful, thank you. And I love you too, Sev." She giggled.
"Really? Y-you mean it?" Severus's face lit up. Could he really get that lucky?
"Oh yes. One day, when we are older, we can get married. Right in this little meadow. And we can invite all our friends, and be with each other forever!" Lily informed Severus. You see, along with being mischievous, she was also very stubborn.
"Well I would love to Lily, but for now, lets get something to eat. I'm really hungry." He shrugged and they both started laughing.
"Race you to the candy shop?" Lily suggested.
"You don't even have to ask." Severus said as they immediately began racing towards the little muggle candy shop.
