A/N Gosh! Not even I thought I was gonna update this one so fast.... I guess this has kinda inspired me. Whether or not this is a good thing.... well I'll just have to find out :D Just a quick warning before I get on with the story – This chapter uses a bit of dialogue from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be in bold so you know where it is. I didn't write that stuff! It belongs to JK Rowling, and Warner Brothers, if they decide to use those lines in the film. On with the story...

Disclaimer: This fanfic uses characters from Harry Potter by JK Rowling and is inspired by the song Hardest Of Hearts by Florence and the Machine. Last time I checked, I wasn't either of these people :P

As Severus bumbled quietly about the best way to make his approach, the elder girl's head shot up. Following her gaze, he spotted Lily, stepping delicately toward the flowers towards the end of the grass verge, with a determined look glazed over her face. Severus' own face twisted upwards, in something that ought to have been a smile, but seemed to have got stuck somewhere between an expression of greed, want, and amazement.

"Lily?" Petunia asked, somehow sounding scared and threatening at the same time.

"'Tuney, look at this." the little redhead giggled "Watch what I can do."

Petunia looked round desperately for somebody to back her up. There was no one. Of course. The only person who could see them was Severus, and he was just out of their own line of sight. Meanwhile, Lily had continued to walk determinedly towards the small cluster of pale pink flowers. She picked one up, holding it in the palm of her hand. Petunia scurried behind her, interested in spite of herself. Lily brought up her green eyes to look into Petunia's.

"Look," she whispered.

Gently, she pulled her fingers back, so the delicate little flower was balanced at the highest point of her hand. As the sisters gazed at it, it began to move. The petite petals began curling in over themselves, gently bowing up and down, perfectly in time. It was beautiful. It was stunning. It was perfect. Petunia didn't like it.

"Stop it!" she shrieked

"It's not hurting you," Lily replied calmly, however as she said it, she crushed the little posy in her hand, letting it drop to the floor, to its brothers and sisters.

"Its not right," Petunia murmured, her eyes still on the discarded blossom. She gazed at it for a couple more moments, as if waiting for something, before raising her voice and asking, "How do you do it?"

Unable to contain himself any longer, Severus leapt forwards throwing away any kind of plan.

"It's obvious, isn't it?" he gasped. Petunia squealed, leaping back a couple of paces, before running back a couple more. Lily, however, remained glued to the ground with her eyes wide in shock. Severus flushed a little. This was not going how he planned.

"What's obvious?" Lily asked, shocked. Quickly, Severus glanced back and forth between the two sisters, his dark eyes always lingering slightly longer on Lily. The look of horror on Petunia's face was slowly twisting into something else...

Severus lowered his voice "I know what you are." He said smugly.

"What do you mean?" She replied

"You're... you're a witch," He whispered, drawing closer to Lily.

Instantly, she pulled away, looking offended."That's not a very nice thing to say to somebody!" She turned away from Snape, her nose in the air as if she were imitating her sister, and began to march off.

"No!" he called after her. He was starting to sound embarrassed. Red in the face, Severus flapped wildly after her. Both girls looked over to him disapprovingly, Petunia now looking thoroughly disgusted. He stepped forwards."You are" He tried again "You are a witch. I've been watching you for a while. But there's nothing wrong with that. My mum's one, and I'm a wizard."

Petunia laughed shallowly, mocking him. She looked at him distastefully, before continuing.

"Wizard!" she laughed "I know who you are. You're that Snape boy! They live down Spinner's End by the river. Why have you been spying on us?" She asked, craning her long neck over him as she sneered. Severus hadn't thought it possible to hate her more. He pulled himself up, his loose clothes hanging round him, and glared at her.

"Haven't been spying," he said defensively. "Wouldn't spy on you anyway," he added "you're a Muggle"

Petunia raised her eyebrows. Confused but offended, she grabbed her sister's thin wrist and tugged.

"Lily, come on, we're leaving!" She squeaked, pulling her sister towards the row of houses. Lily didn't bother arguing with her, only sparing Snape a glance. The sisters raced towards the row of houses, and left Severus just watching after them. He turned away, looking bitter. He crossed his arms. '

'Damn' A small voice whispered defeatedly in the corner of his head. It had all gone wrong. Slowly, and dragging his feet, Severus started home.
