I do not own any of these characters or claim to own them nor do I claim the ideas of J.K. Rowling. All characters and magical processes are copyrighted and belong to J.K. Rowling I know that this first chapter is very similar to that which was in the book and that is because I wanted to use the way J.K. Rowling introduced the characters and sort of fill in the blanks. Seriously, no copyright intended, at all. Disclaimer: Everything belongs to J.K. Rowling. EVERYTHING.

Chapter One

Witch?

Severus Snape had known what he'd be and where he would go to school since he was five. It wasn't difficult for him to see that the girl from the park, the one Evans girl was the same, only totally oblivious. That her elder sister had convinced her that what she could do was more of a curse than a blessing.

Severus saw fit to tell her about it one day, to tell her where she would be going and why she could do the things that she could do. Why it hadn't happened to her sister and what would happen.

He sat in the bushes, in his ludicrously warm winter coat in the middle of summer because it was his only coat.

"Why are you staring at us?" The muggle asked him.

"I'm not." He said.

"Yes you are." The elder one argued.

"Then why are you standing in the bushes?"

"Shade," Severus managed to choke out.

"You could try inside, if you really need that much shade." She said scoldingly.

"I saw you do that." He said to Lily who froze and Petunia who looked at him.

"You didn't see anything." Petunia said.

Lily was about to say something but she paused, then she began to speak again, "Why aren't you scared?"

"Because I can do it too." Severus said smiling. "You're a witch."

"That's not very nice to say." Lily said her bottom lip wobbling.

"No, no," he said still smiling, "You see, my mum, she's a witch and I'm a wizard."

"Really?" Lily asked.

Petunia shook her head, "No not really, he's just winding you up, making fun of you because you're a freak." She said, "I know who he is, he's that Snape boy who lives down Spinner's End, his parents are always fighting."

Severus turned red, "Leave my family out of this." He said. "What's your name?" He asked Lily and only Lily.

"I'm Lily Evans, this is my sister, Petunia."

"I'm Severus."

Petunia looked indignant, "I can't believe you told him our names." She murmured loud enough for him to hear.

"What do you mean, I'm a witch?" Lily asked taking a hesitant step forward.

"I mean, we'll be going to the same school, Hogwarts. It's the school for Witchcraft and Wizardry." He said.

"We're going home," Petunia said, dragging her sister by the arm back towards their house.

Lily mouthed, "Tell me tomorrow." At him and his face lit up as he watched her go.

Lily Evans.

Read & Review please :)

I made some changes to this chapter, shortened it, because it was too close to J.K. Rowling's original.

I did it in about ten minutes so, it's a lot shorter, but it's my interpretation of how they met.
