A/N: Hi! This is my first fan-fic ever, so do not judge. Also very important: If you like the plot, but not the size, keep reading because future chapters will be much bigger.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of it's characters. Yet! ;-)

Set at the end of the seventh book, then in Lily and Snape's fifth year.

Chapter 1: Second Chance

Severus Snape looked into Harry Potters eyes, and saw the green orbs of his dear Lily, looking back at him from that fateful day in their fifth year, when he lost her forever.

He hears faintly in his ear, a whisper "Good luck, Severus. Now, dear me, I can not find my lemon drops!"

Then, he realizes he is looking into Lily's eyes. He sits up.

"Sev," Lily whines,"did you fall asleep?"

"Wh. . . wh. . . what?" Snape studders.

"You. Fell. Asleep. I told you exams were exausting. But nooo. Not for Mr. Perfect Potions Student. See. I am always right." Lily gloated. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Severus said nothing. The day of the exams? He had been givin a second chance. He hugged Lily, he smiled, an unfamiliar facial expression. In his old life. He was being givin an oppurtunity to be with Lily. to treat her as she deserved, and rewrite his dark fate. An oppurtunity to live right, to do his life all over. Again.
