Prologue

A teenage girl was sitting quietly on a chair, staring out the window with a soft, dreamy smile on her lips.

"I can't wait to tell him how I feel" she thought giddily. "I hope he will return my feelings".

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard. Hearing them coming towards her, she opened her eyes and turned around to see who it was. "Yay! He came!" Lily thought happily.

The tall and lanky guy stood in the doorway with a mixture of shock and surprise expressed on his face. His ink coloured eyes were full of confusion as he stared at her. "What is it?" He asked in his usual dull tone. "I don't have time to waste talking to you right now, Lily. Hurry up and tell me what you want so that I can go to bed."

Lily smiled at him as she flipped her long, auburn hair over her shoulder and slowly walked towards him. She felt her heart beat faster with every step she took bringing her closer to him. Her emerald eyes were full of hope. Finally, she was standing in front of him. She gently touched his cheek as she gazed up at him with an expression full of love and desire.

"Stop staring at me," Severus snapped. "Just tell me what you want and leave."

Lily blushed when he caught her staring. How could she have been so careless?

Severus became speechless upon seeing her blush. He glanced down at her with eyes full of curiosity. "L-Lily?" He whispered softly.

Lily gently placed a finger against his lips and in a soft tone, said, "Close your eyes, Severus."

He gave her a hesitant nod as he closed his eyes. He waited nervously for her to say something to him.

Lily took a few deep breaths before throwing her arms around his neck and gently pressing her lips against his. As their lips touched, sparks engulfed their bodies. Unknowingly, they moved closer to each other. The heat between them grew dangerously high as their kisses became bolder and passionate.

Finally, Severus opened his eyes and they widened in shock as he pushed her away from him. He hastily wiped his mouth. "That's disgusting Lily! Why did you kiss me?" He demanded.

"I-I really like you, Severus a-and I've had a crush on you ever since I saw you and those sad, ink eyes of yours five years ago." She stammered softly.

Confused and lost, Severus took few steps back away from her and glanced around in hope of finding a way to escape as he didn't know what to say to her.

Lily walked towards him and pulled his hand from over his head and gave him a happy smile. "See?" She asked him in a low voice. "I like you so much Severus."

Severus snatched his hand away from hers and stepped back. With a cold tone, he glared at her. "No! I don't want to date you, Lily. You are nothing to me. You aren't good enough to be my girl."

Lily shook her head in disbelief. "I-I don't believe you." She whispered quietly.

Severus gave a cruel laugh as he ran a hand through his raven hair. "Come on, Lily. Open your eyes for once. Can't you see? We aren't made for each other."

"Why are you saying those words to me, Severus?" She cried out in disbelief.

Severus walked towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Because I want to date a girl with blood as pure as mine. I want to date a girl in the same house as me and also, I…I dislike you, Lily."

Lily took a few steps back from him before turning and running back through the secret dungeon as tears ran down her cheeks.

Severus sighed as he watched Lily run off. He lent against the cold dungeon wall and closed his eyes for a brief moment. I don't understand why she likes me so much. He thought miserably. Why should I worry about her? She isn't important to me. I don't care about her at all.

Shaking his head, Severus stood up straight and walked towards the Slytherin boy's door room. On his way back, he spotted a blonde teenage girl leaning against the common room doorway. She had her arms crossed against her chest. She must have been waiting for someone.

Cecilia White blushed as Severus came into view and began to play with the ends of her long, blonde hair. "I-I was waiting for you, Severus."

Severus gave her a smile and placed his hands on either side of her head, trapping her between him and the wall. He had a smirk playing on his lips as he spoke. "Oh really now? And what was so important that you felt obliged to wait up for me?"

"I wanted to talk to you about something!" Cecilia replied with a wide smile.

Severus lent close, his mouth against her ear. "Indulge me."

"I-I was wondering if you wanted to be my date for the Yule Ball," She replied hopefully.

Severus gave a low chuckle. "No thanks. I'm not interested in attending the Yule Ball, but thank you for offering." That being said, Severus pulled himself away from her and turned to step around her and walk towards the portrait of a Knight when she called his name in a quiet voice.

He paused for a moment, curious about what she had to say. "What is it?"

"Please be my date for the Yule Ball." She begged.

Severus sighed as he turned to face her. His face was pulled into a serious expression as he spoke. "Why me, Cecilia? There are so many other guys who would love to attend the ball with you."

Cecilia chewed on her bottom lip nervously before speaking, "I-I like you so much."

Unable to stop himself, Severus laughed and shook his head in amusement.

"Nice excuse, Cecilia. Now go find a guy who won't mind being used by you. Good night," Severus told her as he stepped into the Knight portrait. He walked into the common room and climbed up to the boy's dorm room where he changed into his favourite pyjamas and then crawled into his bed.

Severus laid on his bed with his arms crossed underneath his head as he stared up at the ceiling all while getting lost in his thoughts. I can't wait 'til I'm out of this school and a famous novelist. That way, I'll have everything I'll ever want.

A few moments later, Severus fell asleep with a determined smile upon his lips as he dreamt of his future

It was midnight when Lily walked into the hut where both the staff and students of Hogwarts kept their owls. The birds were all asleep in their nests with thin blankets draped over their bodies to keep them warm. Finding her owl, Lily softly called her. "Snowflake? Snowflake, please come here."

Awaking, the while and grew owl flew down from her nest and settled onto her mistresse's arm, nipping it gently.

"Hello Snowflake. I'm sorry to wake you up so late. I just need you to send this letter to my sister," Lily explained softly as she fed the owl her favourite treat.

Snowflake flapped her wings in excitement after eating her treat.

"Aww…you miss my sister too? Here you go," Lily smiled softly as she attached the letter to Snowflake's leg.

Snowflake bowed her head, understanding her mistress's words and opened her wings. She flew off Lily's arm and travelled away from Hogwarts where she would deliver her mistresse's letter.

"I'll see you soon Snowflake," She called out before leaving the hut. "Take care."

Lily then pulled her thick coat tighter around her body as an attempt to keep herself warm as she walked back into the castle.

Entering the castle, she headed up the grand staircase and walked towards the portrait of the Pink Lady.

"Hello Student. What is the password?" The Pink Lady asked.

"The password is Phoenix, Pink Lady." Lily replied.

"You may enter, Student," The Pink Lady said as the portrait opened.

Lily walked into the portrait of the Pink Lady and entered the common room.

While she was climbing up the stairs towards the girls' dorm room, a hand landed on her shoulder. Startled, she almost screamed but was able to bite it back when the same hand was clamped over her mouth.

"Lily, it's only me." A familiar voice sounded in her ears.

At their words, Lily was able to relax and, when the mystery teenager removed their hand from her mouth, she whirled around to face them with an angry expression on her face. "Don't you ever do that to me again, James Potter!"

"Sorry about that. Where have you been?" He asked in concern.

Lily shook her head and walked around him, continuing her way towards the girls' dorm. Once there, she closed the door behind her.

"Hey there," Her friend, Monica Simpson said softly as she saw her. "You're finally back. Are you okay?"

Lily shook her head and ran towards her best friend, throwing her arms around her neck as the tears ran down her face. Monica rubbed her back gently.

"Shh…. Everything will be alright, Lily." Monica said softly.

"B-But I like him so much! Wh-why did he reject me? I had hoped that he would be my date for the Yule Ball." She sobbed into her friend's shoulder.

Monica said nothing as she continued to comfort her friend. She gently patted her friend's auburn hair like a mother would do to her daughter.

An hour late, Lily had stopped crying and managed to change her clothes before crawling into bed. She pulled the blankets over her small body to keep her warm. "Good night, Monica," She whispered.

Monica nodded with a small smile. "Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams."

Lily closed her eyes and, under her breath, she whispered, "I hope that one day, I will achieve my dream. Perhaps when that day arrives, I can forget about my First Love." As she slept, Lily dreamt of her and Severus together with a dreamy smile upon her lips.
