-Remember Who You Are-

Disney Quote Challenge

Lucius Malfoy stood at the head of his little buddies with a smirk on his face and a wand in his hand. With a flick of his wand, a little first year Gryffindor was knocked off his feet before his legs were uncontrollably active.

The Slytherins surrounding the older teen laughed and pointed while the young boy's friends tried to help, only to be kicked in the face. A red-haired girl watched from the sidelines.

She watched for a few moments, waiting for someone to help the poor boy. When she saw no one there, she ran to the scene to the young one's aid.

Lily Evans told the boy to bring his friend to the Hospital Wing before walking straight to the group she knew had started the whole thing.

To her surprise, she saw a face she never expected to see associating with such scum. Severus Snape was laughing with his new found friends while one of them mimicked the small child.

"Severus, may I speak to you please?" she asked, interrupting the teens' imitation.

Snape nodded, his greasy hair flipping into his eyes.

She pulled his arm around a corner with tears in her eyes. Severus knew that something was wrong. Could it have been something he had done?

The look in her eyes killed him a little inside, how could he have done something so horrible?

"Are these your new friends then?" She finally snapped at him, gesturing to where his fellow Slytherins stood. "Are they more important to you then a real friend?"

A tear rolled down Lily's cheek after speaking the last question.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Severus spoke defensively, "if there is something wrong about you not being my only friend…"

"Sevvy, I don't mind if you have more friends then just me," Lily's tears had subsided. Anger had replaced the sadness.

"Then I see no problem here," snapped the greasy haired boy as he turned on his heal to leave before he was stopped by a light hand on his shoulder.

"Please just remember who you really are," Lily spoke slowly when her best friend gave her a questioning look. "You're not one of them."

"But what if I am one of them?" Snape scowled before shaking her hand away from his shoulder and walked away.

Lily's tears continued to flow down her cheeks as she watched her best friend walk back to a group of boys who she knew were up to no good.

As she walked back to the willow tree she had been studying for her O.W.L.s under moments before, she knew she had lost her best friend to those people.

Severus Snape was not the same man he had been before. He had changed and there was no going back.
