Ch.2- What Snape Thinks
Disclaimer: I still own nothing…
A/N: this chapter may seem really short and almost pointless, but there is a point. I need a chance to introduce Snape and Lily's current position relationship-wise. Thanks for the patience!
I was sick of him. I was sick of his slimy attitude with everyone who wasn't a precious Slytherin. I was sick of his casual use of the degrading term "Mudblood". Sick of his enormously moronic friends whose only joy in life was causing others "beneath them" pain and embarrassment.
I was also sick of him trying to pretend that there was anyway I could continue being his friend.
I wanted to, though. Merlin knows how much I missed him being around me all the time. We had pretty good times together, despite the fact that he had developed an unrequited crush on me from the beginning.
He was my best friend. But now he was a jerk.
"Potter is staring at you again." He sneered at me in class from where he sat behind me.
He wasn't, of course. Potter, I mean. James was actually sleeping, head fallen on his desk, with Sirius's also sleeping head on his shoulder. It was rather cute really, not that I would ever admit it out loud.
"You want to know why they're so tired all of a sudden, Lily?" he asked with a smile of blatant contempt.
"No. Not at all thank you." I replied icily, turning back to my cauldron.
"Oh…of course you wouldn't," he snapped, suddenly angry. "Why ask, when you know it would only reveal his flaws? You don't want to hear anything bad about your precious git. He's not as perfect as you think, Lily. He's not the good guy" he spat.
I rolled my eyes as we slipped into the argument that we had had so many times before. "I am perfectly aware of what Potter is or isn't thank you very much. I don't need anyone like you telling who is bad. You seem to be a bit muddled on the concept yourself." I flipped my long red hair over my shoulder, signifying that I was done playing games.
He only leaned over his own table so that he could whisper in my ear. "Please, please. Just listen to me." He begged. I felt my heart soften slightly at his broken pleading. "He isn't right for you."
"And I never said he was, Sev. I never said he was." I sighed, and he sat back down in his seat, still looking sour, but a bit happier.
"Are you staring at Lily again, Prongsy?" Sirius teased, opening his eyes to see is best friend looking intently at something near the other side of the classroom.
"Yeah, but she was, too." James grinned.
Sirius laughed, now full awake. "Good. This year might just end on a good note then..." he chuckled, his gray eyes twinkling mischieviously.
A/N: Again…it's really short. But Snape plays a part in this fic…so I had to kind of summarize in a conversation between them where he and Lily stand. By they way...they are all in the Spring portion of their 6th year. So…again…reviews are always welcome!!
