Sorry

O-O

"Lily!"

Lily whipped her head around at her ex-friend.

"Sev, if you need to say sorry, than save your breath," she snarled.

"I'm not one of them Lily, I swear. Look," Severus pulled up his left sleeve.

The fire in Lily's eyes quickly turned into worry.

On his arm, there wasn't a Dark Mark, but many bruises and scars.

His eyes widened. "Lily! You weren't supposed to see that!" He mentally cursed himself for not casting the charm so his scars couldn't be seen.

"They did this?" Lily asked, full of rage. By 'they', she meant the other Slytherins.

Slowly, Severus nodded. "I'm sorry for calling you a-a mudblood," he shuddered at the last word. "I should've put you before myself."

"They blackmailed you?"

"Yes, and I shouldn't have risked our friendsh-"

"Oh, Severus!" Lily cried, cutting him off by kissing him passionately.
