Chapter 1: Severus and Lily
It was high noon in the middle of June, and boy it was HOT! Sev and Lily retreated to the black lake for some shade and maybe a dip or too. It was also the end of their fourth year at Hogwarts, and Lily was frantic.
"…I mean next year we have our O.W.L's which ultimately determine our jobs and what classes we take next year, not to mention there will definitely be more homework—Sev, are you even listening to me?" Lily turned to look as the black haired boy with mild annoyance. He looked back and shrugged.
"Yeah, 'course. But come one Lils. We have the whole summer and the O.W.L's aren't even until the end of the year. What are you so worried about?" he sat down at the base of a willow and leaned against it, looking up at Lily.
"I guess you're right," she sighed and sat down beside her best friend, "but the homework…"
"Is a load of—" Sev started, but Lily cut him off.
"How would you know? Its not as if you ever do it! We both know the only reason you're still going to this bloody school is because if me!"
"Lily!" Sev cried, standing up, "you don't mean that!" He started to turn around and head back up to the castle when Lily caught his arm.
"Sev, I'm sorry," she bit her lip, "i shouldn't have said that. I;m just really stressed out right now."
"But why Lily? You can tell me, I won't judge."
She opened her mouth to respond, but then shut it, "it's nothing," she muttered, turning back to the lake. Sev then reached out, grabbed her hand, and pulled her to him. He brought his lips down on hers and she tensed, preparing to draw away, but sighed instead and leaned into the kiss. My hands made their way to her hips and her arms snaked around my neck. But all to soon, she broke the kiss and looked down sheepishly.
"Um, I have to go…pack," Lily said uncertainly as she made her way back to the castle, leaving Sev, looking utterly bewildered.
