Chapter 1
"No!" I screeched over my shoulder as I stalked away from Potter, my long red tresses flying behind me.
"Evans-" he started.
"No! Come on, Sev, we're leaving," I repeated, this time grabbing my best friend's hand as I grabbed my bag and walked away.
Severus Snape was my best friend. He always will be. I hope. With the people he's hanging out with these days, I'm starting to get really worried that he'll become one of...them. I shuddered at the very thought.
Sev and I walked into the castle and stopped by the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. "Well, see you later, Sev," I said cheerfully, and turned to the portrait of the Fat Lady.
"Lily- wait," Severus said. "Yeah? What's up?" I turned and asked, confused.
For a minute, he looked unsure. Then, he just stepped forward, grabbed my hand, and gently pressed his lips to mine. I jumped a little when he kissed me, and just as fast as it started, it was over. I stumbled back, shocked. "I- I- I'm sorry, Lily." With that, he just turned on his heel and walked away silently, without even his footsteps echoing in the deserted hallway.
I leaned back against the wall, struggling to breathe. I slipped down to a sitting position. I had just had my first kiss- ever. With the person I least thought it would happen- Severus Snape. A lone tear slid out of my closed eye and rolled down my cheek.
"... was hilarious! Did you see the look on his face?"
"Yeah, it was priceless! I wonder what he thinks now..."
"It wassort of mean though, you have to admit..."
"Oh, lighten up, Moony!"
I heard voices coming from around the corner. I tried to scramble to my feet, wipe away my tears, and slip through the portrait, but it was too late. The four faces that I least wanted to see rounded the corner, laughing and talking.
"Evans?" Potter's voice broke into my thoughts.
A/N: Yes, I know, it was short. DEAL WITH IT! :P
P.S. I hope you liked it! I will update soon! :D
