Okay, so, I got my first review yesterday, and I just read it, and it totally made my day. Like, I can't stop smiling now. (:
Thank you for that review, it just made me so happy after a really bad day. I seriously love you right now, bro. 3
Snape's POV.
So, this is where the story starts.
I walked beside Lily, my best friend, and almost my only friend, apart from Lucius Malfoy. Suddenly, James Potter came out of no where with his gang, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. All of them being total jerks to me, just because I was Slytherin and they were Gryffindor. As they passed, James pushed me down, laughing as he did so. Before he could pull out his wand, Lily stepped in. "James, just leave him alone!" she defended and turned to help me up. When she did, she wiped the snow from my long black hair, and I laid my head on her shoulder, sad and tired of the cruel pranks. She wrapped a comforting arm around me and told me everything was going to be fine, which I knew was surely a lie. We continued walking, leaving James and his band of brutes behind us, and continued to talk about other things, such as our plans for Christmas break. "Do you want to come over for Christmas break?" Lily asked me, beaming. She knew that since I didn't go home for Christmas, I would need someone to stay with so that James wouldn't mess with me. "Sure." I said, a very rare smile on my face. I usually never smiled, and it's gotten even worse now that I'm older, but Lily always seemed to make my day just that much better. I really wish I could change my past, now. Sadly, that's now impossible.
A few weeks later, I packed my trunk to get on the train, deciding I would wait for Lily near the doors. I saw James walking towards me, and immediately grabbed for my wand. But, rather than being followed by his usual gang, I saw he was walking with Lily, her trunk in hand. I looked at her questioningly, knowing that she despised James. "Hey, Severus. You ready to get on the train?" Lily asked me, her bubbly personality seeming even bubblier now. "What's he doing her?" I asked, glaring at him, keeping my hand on my wand, ready to fight if needed. "Oh, he was just trying to talk me into staying for Christmas break. But don't worry, I'm not." she replied, putting emphasis on the 'not.' "Oh, alright." I said, and we started for the doors. "Lily Evans, I will have you someday! Don't try and hide it from yourself!" I heard James call after us as we walked down the front steps, towards the carriages.
