Love at First Sip…
Whispering a spell under his breath, Severus Snape stared down his long crooked nose at the clear liquid in his cauldron. If he didn't do this potion perfectly on target, it could horribly backfire and he would be left with a potion that could slow one's vital signs to near dead with a hint of paralysis. The potion Shakespeare had mentioned in his "Romeo and Juliet" play. Snape, however, was doing a potion that still has much to do with Romeo and Juliet. A 'love at first sight' potion he'd created one night after a week of studying all sorts of love potions. He had found the flaws in all those potions, and now knew the true love potion that was unstoppable, and unchangeable. It caused a person to develop a love for the creator of the potion at first sight, and then as the potion moved out of the person's body, it would slow those initial lustful feelings, and turn into true love. The person would then believe it really was love and would never sway from the creator of the potion. He…was a genius.
When the potion was complete, and the spell had set into the liquid, Severus poured the clear, tasteless potion into a vial and then slid the stopper inside the vial so none would slip out. "I'm sorry Lily, I just can't stand seeing you with him…" Severus said while staring at the potion. He then slid the vial into his oversized pockets of his robe, and headed to the Great Hall where dinner was currently being served. Lily would be there with…with HIM, and there in front of Potter, Severus could steal Lily's heart and destroy Potter's.
It didn't take long for Severus to get to the Great Hall from the potions room. When he entered, the greasy haired teenager's eyes instantly fell on the Gryffindor table. Slitting his eyes, Severus saw Potter leaning all over Lily. It was disgusting. It was only a week ago that he and Lily had blown up at eachother, and here she was so quick to fall into the arms of her 'savior'. But not for too much longer. With a deep breath, Severus took determined steps towards the table where Lily, Potter and his boys were currently seated.
Pursing his lips together, Severus could see that the Blood Traitor Black had instantly picked up on his presence, and was poking at his 'friend' Lupin the werewolf. Pulling the vial out of his pocket, Severus wrapped his long skinny fingers around it as if it were his last hope of humanity. It was actually…His last hope for a chance with his one true love. The fiery haired woman who had his heart, yet gave hers to another man. Not a man…a boy. Potter was still childish, no matter how dashing he acted.
Severus then gripped his wand with his other hand, and muttered a spell that would invisibly slip the contents of the vial into Lily's drink. He had to do it merely feet away from the cup, or else it could miss and go in another's cup. Once his beedy eyes found the drink Lily was drinking out of, Severus mentally said the spell and he could feel as the vial instantly became lighter and less important. Just as he was certain the potion had found its destination, Severus suddenly ran into Sirius who had jumped out of his seat and moved into a collision course.
"Watch where you're going, Snivvelus. And while we're on the subject of where you're going…Don't think you're going anywhere near Lily. She is done with you and your Death Eaters…" Just like a body guard, Sirius had stopped him from actually making any contact with Lily. How he loathed Black more than any of the others. Even more than Potter, but not much more.
Severus lowered his gaze and walked around Sirius, trying not to cause the dark haired blood traitor to do anything vicious towards him. He'd finished his cause, now all he had to do was disappear until Lily finished the drink, and peer into her eyes. Eye contact was the key to his potion. Not until her bright green eyes met with his would the potion be complete.
For the rest of the dinner, Severus kept a close eye on Lily, but she never touched the drink. Every now and then she would reach for it, then go into a bout of giggles due to a joke by Sirius, and then pull her hand away. It was just when he was about to give up hope, that he suddenly sensed that his potion was no longer in the drink. Looking up from his un-touched plate of food, Severus saw that the cup had, in fact, been emptied of its contents. With a smile that did not fit his plain face, Severus jumped up from his table, receiving odd looks, and rushed to the table where he would then complete the potion and have Lily Evans for him forever, just like it SHOULD have been from the beginning.
When he neared the table, Black and Lupin had been talking, and Potter was nowhere to be seen, probably off to use the bathroom. His presence was unnoticed, and he could finally get close enough to Lily to smell her perfume and feel her soft skin again. Grabbing her by the shoulders, Severus spun Lily around. Lily let out a squeak, but Severus didn't care about her surprise or the suddenly disappointed look on her face as she saw it was not Potter, but rather her childhood friend who had made a dear mistake on his half. Severus then used his hand to lift her chin and make eye contact. When their eyes met, Severus had expected to see a change in the pupils, but nothing. Nothing happened.
Severus then felt hands pull at his shoulders and threatening words being yelled at him for touching her. The general vicinity got quiet and Severus turned his face towards the one who had pulled him off of the now frightened Lily. Seeing that it was Potter, with his wand raised and pointing at his chest, Severus stepped back and his posture went from the light and confident one, back to his usual crouched posture. Lily then ordered Potter to lower his wand and got between the two boys.
"WHAT was that about Sev?" Oh how it sounded like music to his ears to hear her voice call him that again. For a second, Severus's mind was blank of words. His eyes then fell on the empty cup and then back on Lily. "That cup? You drank it right? It was your cup, and you finished every drop, right?" Slightly panicked now, he wondered what went wrong. He had checked the vial when he got back to his own table and had seen it was empty. So, why wasn't the potion working? It should have worked, there was absolutely nothing wrong with his calculations, nor his tests on Filch and his cat. At first sight, Filch had fallen for his cat and they've been inseparable since.
"What on earth are you talking about Snivvelus? That wasn't Lily's cup. It was mine…" Severus looked past Lily to see Sirius standing there, holding the cup in his hand. The cup he had put the potion in. Gasping, Severus made sure he didn't make eye contact with Sirius. If he did…Sirius would fall deeply in love with him, and God knows what could happen. "D-don't look at me, Black! You stupid Blood Traitor!" he then spun on his foot and hurried out of the Great Hall. Whispers followed him as he ran with his robes billowing wildly behind him.
This was bad…very bad.

As always, I am not trying to make profit off this, nor am I trying to say I own anything to do with the series. I am merely a humble writer who was inspired to write a fanfic based on…well…I don't even remember where my inspiration came from.
PLEASE DON'T HATE THIS! I DO NOT APROVE OF SS/SB! I am a true SiriusxRemus fan and will support them until the day I die! I don't believe they had like a…physical relationship…but I do believe that they had an emotional relationship. Why else would Remus's love not come until after Sirius died? Anywho. Enough about my rant on my love for Remus and Sirius.
I was originally going to make this a oneshot…but then decided it'd be better as a few chapters…PLEASE Review! I get chapters up faster if I know people like them! Also please keep an eye out for any other fanfics I'll be doing!
