There she was, standing there, her flaming red hair blowing wildly in the wind, behind her was the ancient willow tree; also blowing in the wind. The sky was a bluish grey, an improvement to the winter term at Hogwarts. Lily would love this weather. She loves being able to walk around the pond looking at all the frogs and newts, dancing around at the command of my wand. It didn't hurt them, she wouldn't like that. She wouldn't like that at all.
I started to walk towards her, calmly and carefully in case I disturbed her thoughts. I knew I should though; it was never good when she was in deep thought. She did it too much. Always about running away, I remember the day she told me about it, I did everything I could to prevent her running away; it must have worked because I seemed to be running to her right now.
"Lily!" I called from about twenty metres away "Lily!" but then she came. The reason of Lily's thoughts, the reason of the nightmares.
"Lily... you're a freak. You and that boy. You're freaks you know...both of you"
I ran toward her. "Petunia, shut up! Just shut up! Leave lily alone! You're the freak! Not us. Go away! Leave!" the anger was welling up inside me. I saw lily's face. It was one full of fear and upset. "GO PETUNIA! GO NOW!" I drew out my wand. That was the biggest mistake I made in a long, long time "Severus! No Severus! Not here! We're not allowed, you know that." Her request had turned into a plead "please Severus... you'll get expelled, please... don't leave me..." I put the wand back in my pocket but it was too late.
"I'm telling mum lily! She'll never let you see that boy again! Ha! Lover boy, you should have thought about that before you did it! Ha!" with that she left. Leaving her muggle scent behind. I slowly lifted my head; I looked at lily meekly, "Im sorry Lily, I really am."
That was the last time I saw her for the rest of the holiday. I would sit in my room and hope. The weather had gotten worse again. I'd sit on my bed watching the rain droplets making their paths down the window. Then I would look out. Hoping to see her face, her beautiful face at the end of the drive. But it never came. I don't know why I hoped.
I slowly came around from that thought though. I didn't realise why until I saw her, her green eyes peering into the cabin I was in; sitting on the Hogwarts express. "Lily!" I exclaimed, picking my self up from the seat I ran to the door to let her in "I'm not staying Severus, you know that Gryffindor's and slytherin don't sit with one another here."
"I know lily, but... please? I haven't seen you for five weeks, we need to talk, are you allowed to be speaking to me?" I saw the glint in her eyes "no" I said for her. I slumped back in the seat. Fine. Thats it then.
"No Severus! Its not it! Were still friends right! Friends forever duh! You know that! And she lightly punched me in the arm, I stood up and hugged her, "friends forever" and she was gone, her cloak turning and twisting down the thin corridor. I stood there until I could see she had got to her carriage. "Friends forever" I muttered. "Yeah right"
