"Sev," Sirius hissed, dropping a note on the Slytherin's desk before running off after Potter, Pettigrew, and Lupin. Severus glared in their direction, sad that his Pranks felt he had to sit with his ununderstanding friends. He gingerly picked it up and slid it in his pocket as McGonagall entered the room, and the lesson began. He didn't want to lose the only contact with Sirius he'd had all week.


A few hours later as he sat alone in his dormitory, Severus unfolded the letter.

Dear Potions,
I don't know how to say everything I want to say. I want you Sev, but... My friends wouldn't understand. It's different for me, but I want you to know that I don't regret a second we spend together. I'll give you another note soon, love. It shall give the time & place for our next meeting. I can't wait for then.
Love, Pranks

Severus looked up from the note, a slight smile on his face. His dog wanted him. Sirius shared the desire that burned through Severus. Re-reading the note quickly, he found the line... He didn't give a damn about Sirius's friends... They were all a bunch of lousy Gryffindors with no values and improper raising... Unlike his Sirius.

Severus thought back to the cold, November night that he and Sirius first met up... They'd known each other for years, sure, but the two boys had never gotten on well... Who would have thought it was because of pent up sexual tension?


"Sev? You in here?" Lily asked. Severus jerked up, shutting his potions book with a loud bang. It was just after dinner, which Severus had spent in the library to avoid people.

"What? Lily?" Severus said, his eyes lighting up as he took in the pretty image of his ex-best friend. He'd had a crush on her, too, when they were little. that was before his interests had... changed...

"Hi, Sev," Lily said with a small smile. She brushed a lock of her red hair out of her face shyly, and swiftly walked over to him. Sirius Black stepped into view.

"What's he doing here?" Severus growled.

"He needs potions help," Lily said. Her voice was kind, but forceful, a tone he'd heard her use with Petunia plenty of times. Now that he thought about it, she often used that tone around him.

"Slughorn loves you," Severus said. "He's your boyfriend's best mate. Why the bloody hell can't you help him?"

"I'm not dating Potter," Lily spat.

"Well, this is the first time I've talked to you in months, and from my perspective, you and Potter look very buddy-buddy..."

"She's not dating him, Snape," Sirius said, speaking up for the first time. Severus just glared.

"And, besides, we all know you're loads better at potions than I am..." Lily left the library, leaving Severus to deal with the thing commonly called a Gryffindor male.


Severus didn't remember how it had happened, but he remembered hiding out in an empty classroom, snogging Sirius. The Gryffindor had such soft lips... Severus leaned against his pillows and let out a groan. He needed his Pranks now!


A/N: How was it? Just so you all don't think I'm strange, I don't ship them normally. I thought it would be funny, and you know? I thought it was pretty hilarious... Do you want more?
