Their Favorite Flower

Disclaimer: I think the word is more than enough. The owner of a book would just write: "Hey, it's me! Yeah I actually own this story! Enjoy!" But; as I'm not JK Rowling I have to write that depressing word at the top of the page… see? Life's not fair!! LOL. Enjoy!

First Grade

Severus POV

"Can you believe we already had our first class? Oh my God! I'm so excited!" Lily smiled, twirling on the hallway next to Severus, her cloak moving around hr ankles slightly. Then her mood seemed to dampen as she glanced at the skinny, black haired boy next to her. "It's too bad we aren't on the same house, though."

Severus nodded silently before he shrugged. "But we are always going to be best friends, right?" Lily smiled brightly at him, taking one of his hands.

"Of course, Sev. Forever and ever!!" She giggled as she started skipping down the hallway.

Severus pulled away smiling. "You are crazy." Lily stopped and turned to look at him, the smile that was still on her face contagious. After they walked silently for a few seconds Severus finally turned to look at her. "We don't have the next class together. You should probably get going… or you'll be late."

She turned to look at him, sadly. "I'll see you next class?"

"'course" Snape smiled.

"See you later then," Lily said giggling, before she ran down the hallway to her next class.

Severs watched her leave, a slight smile appeared on his face as she dodged people on her way, her red ponytail swinging from side to side. He laughed softly when she almost bumped into a fifth grader, and then, when she was out of view – finally turned to walk to his own class.

James POV

"I don't know, Sirius. She is kind of cute." James Potter mused as he and his friends stole glances at Lily who was bent over a piece of parchment, tongue sticking out slightly as she scribbled something down.

"Her best friend is a Slytherin, dude. That's got to mean something." Sirius retorted, looking at James with an air of knowing it all.

"Yes," James agreed, rolling his eyes. "But she also has Gryffindor friends – and she is smart."

Sirius blinked, looking confused for a few seconds, then he smiled mischievously as it suddenly dawned on him. "Oooooh! You like her!!"

James blushed scarlet. "Of course not! I just think she is kinda cute!!"

Sirius gave him a skeptical look before he stood and started doing a little chant and dancing around like only an eleven year old knows how: "Ja-ames is in lo-ove! My best friend likes a gi-irl!" Over and over.

Finally, Professor Flitwick noticed Sirius half-dancing on the back of the classroom while Peter suppressed a laugh and James and Remus looked around mortified.

"Mr. Black, is there something you would like to share with the rest of the class?"

"Actually, professor, yes," Sirius said, his trademark mischevious grin on his face as he climbed onto his chair. James looked up at his best friend, paling slightly.

"No, Sirius. Don't," he warned softly as he glanced at Lily sideways, but Sirius merely smiled at him.

He cleared his throat importantly before turning to look at the rest of the class. "I would like you all to know that James Potter, here, thinks Lily Evans is cute." The class laughed and cheered as Sirius jumped off the chair. James over at Lily who was blushing slightly, his own cheeks scarlet. When their eyes met he mouthed: "Sorry.", Lily simply smiled at him before turning to continue with her work. James breathed a sigh of relief before turning to look at Sirius, eyes narrowed.

"Listen you little twit." He growled before punching Sirius. Sirius laughed massaging his arm.

"I was only doing you a favor."

"You-" James repeated blankly. "Argh!!"
