Prologue

Lily Evans let out a short scream of frustration as she stormed into the classroom, slamming the door behind her.

"Stupid bloody Potter!" She ranted to herself, not even noticing the other person in the room with her, "How many times do I have to tell him 'No'?"

"Problems, Love?" A silky voice asked as strong arms slipped around Lily's waist from behind causing her to jump slightly before letting out a soft sigh and leaning back into the firm chest behind her.

"Same old, same old," she sighed, "Potter asked me out again. He just can't seem to get it through his big head that I don't want to go out with him. Even if I wasn't completely in love with you I still wouldn't go out with him. The arrogant toe-rag!"

The person behind her let out a sigh of his own. "I know it's annoying, Love. How do you think I feel every time Potter starts hitting on you? As much as we both hate it, it's something we have to deal with. You know how the other Slytherins feel about Muggle-borns and with this war starting to heat up so much, I don't want to put you in any more danger than you're already in."

Lily let out another sigh and turned around, putting her arms around her boyfriend's neck, "I know; it's just that it's so frustrating! I just wish that he would take the not-so-subtle hint and piss off already! Do you think it would make any difference if I told him I'm a lesbian?" She asked half seriously.

A soft chuckle was heard before he replied, "Sure it would. He'd ask if he could watch and not only would Potter be hitting on you, but so would Black. That's assuming, of course, that they're not as close-minded as the rest of the Wizarding world. But they are Purebloods, so most likely they have the same views as most, that homosexuality is disgusting and unnatural. Hell, it's hardly tolerated in the Muggle world. So, either you'll gain Black as an admirer as well, or the whole school will shun you, neither sounds very appealing to me."

Lily pouted, "Okay, so you have point, but that doesn't mean I have to like it!'

She received a small smile in return, "Of course you don't," He replied. And with that, Severus Snape leaned down and kissed Lily Evans.

So, what did you think? I know it's short but it's just the prologue, next chapter will definitely be longer.

This story is for HaliaStar. It's her Prize Story for beating me at reading the Harry Potter books straight through. I hope you like it!

Also, just to say, I don't agree with what I said about homosexuality in this chapter, which is kinda obvious if you've read my story 'My Own Demise' which is H/D slash. But for the purposes of this story I needed the Wizarding World to be homophobic. As for the Muggle World being 'hardly tolerant,' this starts out in 1976 and I'm kinda thinking that the tolerance rate wasn't too high at that point. Since I wasn't even born until 12 years later, I'm not really positive, though.

Anyway, Please, please, please leave a review! I definitely wanna know what ya'll thought.

Laterz,

Kyra

And again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to everyone!
