A.N: thanks for the reviews guys:) and if you already haven't noticed my grammar is horrendous. I'm only a teen so don't judge and if anyone could beta the story I'd love u forever. By the way I've decided to make Narcissa a third year instead of a 6th since Lily and she are the only possible candidates for Severus in my mind at the moment

Severus woke up with a grin that morning. Schedules were being handed out today and he couldn't wait to see which class was first. He was particularly interested in the dark arts after reading the books he had found in his mother's trunk. "Although potions doesn't sound too bad either" he thought. Severus wore his robes that fit quite loosely since he got them large. "Stupid robes" he growled in frustration as they tangled around his feet. He decided he would scour the library for charms to shrink and enlarge objects.
Severus saw that charms was first on his schedule followed by double DADA and potions to end off the day. Which meant herbology, astronomy and history of magic was the next day Severus realized with a groan. Severus headed off the breakfast in a good mood and after taking a quick bite of some toast he headed off to the library. Severus was happily surprised to see Lily already there, nose deep in a book. "Hey Lily" he greeted. "Hey Sev, I was just looking at some basic charms." Sev nodded in acknowledgement and got a book of his own to read. Severus wanted to ask Lily about her schedule but didn't want to disturb her and make her upset with him so he kept quiet. "Sev…SEV!" Severus' head snapped up with a jolt and a small tinge of red made its way on his cheeks. "Sorry Lily…I was lost in my thoughts" Severus apologized. "Oh that's no problem Sev, do you want to compare schedules?" Severus immediately took out the paper from his small bag and Lily in return gave her own schedule. Severus smiled in delight, all of his classes except herbology were with her. "OHHH SEV WE HAVE ALL OF OUR CLASSES TOGETHER EXCEPT HERBOLOGY!" Lily squealed. The librarian, Madame Pince, gave them a nasty look and kicked them out of the library for being so loud. Severus shrugged "Doesn't matter it's time for classes anyway".
They headed to charms classes together and found a seat by their classmates. A tiny looking professor waddled in and introduced himself as Professor Flitwick. "He looks more elf then professor" Mulciber commented. Avery snickered. "Now repeat after me…" the squeaky voice of the professor began "…Wingardium Leviosa." Severus casually flicked his wand without saying anything and the feather rose steadily. By now the whole class was staring at the greasy Slytherin and the boy from the train with glasses shouted out "He's cheating." Professor Flitwick awarded Slytherin 20 points and hushed down the class. Severus read a book the rest of the class on legilimency, the art of invading and reading a person's mind.
"Wow Severus, you were amazing." Lily remarked as they walked together towards Defense. "It was nothing." Severus nonchalantly replied. The defense professor was obviously a past Gryffindor with the room decorated with its insignia and colors. "Welcome, welcome to your first year of defense against the dark arts. I am Professor Smith and today I thought we would start off with a few spell demonstrations. Are there any volunteers?" The professor chose a Slytherin and blasted him off his feet with a powerful expelliarmus. Severus sneered and Professor Smith noticed "Ah Mr. Snake is it?" "It's Snape, professor." "Well Mr. Snape do grace us with your presence." Professor Smith invited with a smirk. "Now class, I shall perform the stinging charm, Stupefy, on Mr. Snape and he will try to defend, if he can. On the count of three Mr. Snape. 1, 2, 3, STUPEFY!" "Protego" Severus casually said and a bright blue shield blocked the stinging hex sending it astray. Severus smiled at the professor's dumbfounded look "Avis Oppugno" Severus said with a smirk. A flock of birds viciously flew towards Professor Smith pinning him to a wall. "Ah professor I think you should defend yourself next time…if you can that is. Finite." Severus packed his bag and left the class with a swish of his ill-fitting robes.
"I really shouldn't have left the class…oh well if there's any homework I'll get it from Avery or Mulciber" Severus had retreated for the time being to his dormitory waiting for lunch to start. Severus frowned, the book he had been reading on legilimency stated that you would have to use your wand to perform legilimency. "What bloody good is that if the other person knows you're invading their thoughts" Severus thought "I wonder if you can do it wandlessly…hmm I'll try it out, it says the incantation is legilimens which is easy to remember. There might be someone sitting in the common room I could practice on. FUCK you gotta maintain eye contact. Great the greasy haired half-blood is going to make some conversation in the house of silky haired purebloods." Severus slipped out of his dormitory and surveyed the common room "Great a fucking pureblood for sure the way she looks and probably a third year at that. Screw it the worse she can tell me to do is bugger off" Severus quietly slipped into the chair across the blonde beauty and feigned reading a book. "What do you want?" Severus inwardly cursed, he wasn't ready yet. "….nice weather we're having huh – LEGILIMENS." "Yes, you must love the rain if you call this nice weather"the girl said somberly. "What the bloody hell, I can only feel her emotions, I can't see what she's thinking – yes I do so love rain it makes everything seem so dreary" the girl laughed and launched into a conversation with Severus that both parties enjoyed .
Severus never anticipated a Black let alone a pureblood could be so kind towards a half-blood like him. "She was quite the enigma, I hope this wasn't a onetime thing" Severus thought. Severus sneered right after that thought. A pureblood like her would never associate herself with him who was he joking with.
"Oy half-blood dog catch" Rosier shouted out with glee. Severus gave him his best glare and excused himself from lunch.
"I haven't talked to Lily a lot since we got to Hogwarts, I hope she isn't upset with me." Severus assumed Lily caught his eye as he left the great hall and would follow him outside. Lily came after ten minutes and asked what he wanted rudely. "Look Lily I'm sorry if I haven't talked to you that much but" Severus started but Lily interrupted him "Look Sev my friends are waiting I'll talk to you later bye". Severus' eyes narrowed a bit as Lily rushed off back to the great hall.
"Hello children, I am Professor Slughorn" a chubby man joyously said "Can any of you tell me the potions you see before me?" Severus hadn't actually read ahead on potions and didn't know any of the potions so he stayed quiet. After a Ravenclaw answered Amortentia and another answered Veritaserum, Slughorn brought out the prize "…Felix Felicis, this gives the drinker an hour of magical luck. Now today we will be brewing the Draught of Living Death and I offer Felix Felicis to the student who completes this potion accurately." Severus got out his second hand potions book and instantly started working. Severus frowned he wasn't getting much juice out of the Sopophorous bean by cutting it. Severus shrugged and crushed it instead and smiled pleasantly. His method had worked. Severus scowled, the books was wrong again, if he stirred 12 times counter clockwise the potion would become cloudy so he stirred it 9 ½ times instead. He let out a satisfied sigh and sat down. "Time's up children. Now I shall test your concoctions. Hmm, almost perfect Ms. Evans but a little too thick of mixture. Mr. Snape, my goodness! It's perfect! I daresay one drop would kill us all. As promised Mr. Snape Felix Felicis. Use it well."
Severus saw Lily walk out of the class in tears. Severus ran after her "Lily, here take it." "Really Sev? Oh my gosh Sev thank you" Lily hugged Severus and went to tell her friends. Severus was blushing since Lily had hugged him.
