Chapter 2

Lily woke up the next day on a bright Saturday morning. Her friend Alice was busy singing while spelling curls in her hair and Maria was deciding which muggle outfit to wear.

"Lily, do you think I should go casual, Drama Queen or slutty?"

"Casual, Ria."

"Ah Lily, always the boring one. I'm feeling a bit horny today. Might as well go slutty. Maybe I can attract James Potter's attention. Sirius and Remus too."

'I don't think you'll have much luck seducing Potter. You're the wrong gender' Lily thought to herself. 'I also wonder about Black and Lupin. They don't seem to be dating girls anymore. I think it happened around the same time that Potter stopped having a new girl on his arms every day.'

"Lily, are you okay?" Alice asked worriedly. Lily came out of her trance and looked at her friend.

"Yes Al, I'm perfectly okay. Just thinking about the homework I have to do. I couldn't find the books I needed yesterday so I'll go to the Library after breakfast."

"Okay Lils, as long as you are fine."

Lily, Alice and Maria walked into the Great Hall and took a seat at the Gryffindor table. Lily's eyes immediately landed on James Potter and his three friends. He was laughing and shoving food into his mouth, looking beyond pleased. Black winked at Potter because of something Remus had said. Pettigrew seemed to be put off, but he would occasionally give a tiny smile whenever James would bump his shoulder. They seemed like good friends.

Lily then looked at the Slytherine table where he found Severus with Avery, Mulciber, Rosier, young Black, Wilkes, Crouch and the younger Lestrange. They were talking with each other quietly, eating with grace and poise, unlike her Gryffindor housemates who ate like starved pigs. She didn't know what they were talking about but she had a feeling with Avery and Mulciber it was about how great You-Know-Who is and how muggleborns or as they like to call them 'Mudbloods' should be killed. How Severus could sit there and listen to their garbage was beyond her.

"Lils, come on, you need to eat." Alice stated. Lily turned back to the food and started stacking her plate.

James and his three friends walked into the Great Hall, all eyes except for Peter's turned to the Slytherine table. James spotted Severus sitting there, eating with his friends. He hated Mulciber, Avery, Rosier, Wilkes and Crouch. They were Death Eaters in the making and he didn't want his sweet minx anywhere near them. Rabastan sat next to Severus who sat next to Regulus. Sirius was subtly eyeing his boyfriend with hungry in his eyes. Regulus gave Remus a cute little smile, while Severus blushed prettily when his dark eyes caught hazel. James smirked and went to sit down with his friends.

"I'm guessing you got some last night." Remus teased cheekily. Sirius winked at James who smirked in amusement.

"Of course I did. Just as amazing as the first time." James announced.

"We didn't need to know that." Sirius commented as he took a bite of his food. James and Remus shared a laugh, but Peter seemed quite.

"What's the matter Wormy?" James asked. They all seemed worried about their friend. Peter looked at them silently before shrugging. He then went back to staring aimlessly at nothing in particular.

"Come on Wormtail, lighten up. What's bothering you?"

"Nothing."

"Don't play me for a fool, I know something's wrong."

"It's just, what ever happened to chasing after girls. We use to have so much fun, but now, you all have boyfriends, so where does that leave me?"

"I didn't think about that I guess. Maybe you should think about getting your self a girl, or a boy if you prefer. I know we don't do what we use to and we had so much fun doing it, but we have to grow up sooner or later. We need to find someone to spend the rest of our lives, no matter how short it maybe, because of this war. We all said we wanted to become Auror. I know I want a family and a child before I die." James explained, getting understanding nods from his two other friends. Peter thought about it and nodded thoughtfully. He could understand where they were all coming from and it may be about time that he stopped fooling around and got serious about someone. He wanted a family and kids and he knew with the war getting more treacherous that they might not have that long to live. It was best to start now, while they had the protection of Dumbeldore.

"I understand." Peter finally said. James smiled and the group seemed back together. James would occasionally say something funny, bump Peter in the shoulder and watch happily as they youngest of the four gave a tiny smile. Breakfast was almost over, so they ate as quickly as possible before getting up. They would be going to the first Hogsmeade weekend, so they went to the front of the school where McGonagall was waiting with the carriages. She gave the four of them a stern glare before letting them get on. Other students were coming now. Severus, Rabastan and Regulus took their own carriage and James, Sirius and Remus couldn't wait for their dates with their respective lovers.

Severus blushed as he caught the eyes of his boyfriend. James Potter was as handsome as ever and just looking at him brought up the memories of last night. He was with his three other friends, two of which were eyeing his two friends, Regulus and Rabastan. Severus wondered about how Peter must feel as the odd one out, the only one who wasn't in a relationship. He really needs to start looking for a significant other. With this war on the way, everyone needs to find someone while they still had the sanctuary of Hogwarts.

"Severus, you weren't in your bed last night. Where were you?" Avery asked. He spooned some eggs into his mouth.

"I stayed over in the Library, doing more research on a new potion." Severus lied smoothly. The others believed his store effortlessly, because it had happened on several occasions before he started dating James, but he knew that Rabastan and Regulus knew better. The three of them were dating three Gryffindors who were very close friends, so it was only a matter of time before they all knew each other's secrets. Rabastan was the first of them, having been dating Sirius Black for an entire year. They started dating the first week of last year. Regulus was the second. Sirius and Regulus had gotten over their childish feuds and became quite close. Half way through last year Sirius introduced his little brother to his friends. Regulus and Remus hit it off immediately and have been dating ever since.

It was Severus who was the last to bag the incredible hot and amazing James Potter. It happened during the summer between fourth and fifth years. It all started when Tobias Snape got the drunkest he had ever been in his life. Eileen Snape noticed that her husband hadn't been home in weeks but thought nothing of it. Severus was happy that his father didn't come back. He always abused he and his mother whenever he came back, before up and leaving again. Tobias Snape was a muggle who hated magic and as such he took it out on his wife and child. Severus hated him, loathed him, but mother seemed to adore his, still see the good in him, no matter what he did to her or him. This was why he and his mother never left him.

After a month and a half of Tobias being gone, one afternoon Severus heard the door slam over and a drunken yell vibrate throughout the house.

"OH YAH DIRTY WHORE, COM 'ERE." Tobias screamed. Severus immediately ran down stairs to see his father holding his mother by the throat, strangling her. Scared for his mother's life, he ran head on into his father, making him let go. Tobias staggered back before setting his blood-shot eyes on his son. Severus tired to get away, but it was futile. Tobias beat his wife and child close to death. It was only because the neighbors heard the screams and called the cops. The muggle cops arrived only to find a bound and gagged Tobias and a dead Eileen Snape. The son was deemed missing.

As soon as the muggle cops were called, a group of Auror was dispatched. They took care of magical children's living in the muggle world. They arrived at Spinners Ed to the sound of screaming. The team of three knocked down the door, seeing a horrifying scene of blood splattered everywhere. One of the Auror tied and gagged Tobias, who dropped the bloody knife in his hand and dropped to the ground. Eileen Snape lay dead in a pool of her own blood, while Severus cowered in a corner, eyes blown wide and shaking like a leaf. Another Auror, the only female of the group gently made her way over to Severus.

"Hello, my name is Dorea. We are here to help you. Come with me." The black haired gray-eyed woman said softly. Severus shook his head at first and cowered some more, but Dorea was patient with his and soon enough he took her hand. As soon as he did, he collapsed from exhaustion and blood loss.

"Charlus, I think we should take him to our house. I am a healer so I'll be able to nurse him back to health."

"Alright." The Auror who tied up Tobias agreed. "I'll leave the rest to you." The third Auror nodded. Charlus and Dorea, with an unconscious Severus in her arms, apparated to their home.

Charlus and Dorea turned out to be the parents of James Potter. When Severus finally came through a week later, he woke to the sight of his greatest enemy staring at him. His first reaction was to hit him, so that was what he did, though it was weak and didn't do any damage. James had glared at his, called his Snivellius and left the room in a storm. His room. Not only did James not want him here, they had to share a room together. Dorea had transfigured another bed in the room, right next to James's bed. For the first month, James and Severus were at each other's throats. It was only Dorea threatening them with castration that they started to act nicely to each other. Severus wasn't sure how that turned into romance and he was convinced that if he asked James how it happened, he wouldn't have a bloody clue either. However, they weren't going to complain. They were in love and that was that.

Severus, Rabastan and Regulus finished breakfast and headed to the carriages, where they would be doing to the most amazing dates with their boyfriends.

Authors note: Another chapter done, please review. The more reviews the faster I go, they give me the inspiration to keep writing. I want to pair Peter up with someone but I wasn't sure whom. I was thinking setting him up with Maria, but I would love to hear any of your suggestions.
