A/n: in case you haven't realized it from last time's a/n, Severus and Sirius don't know about the other's presence in time.
Furthermore, it won't be SLASH between Severus and Sirius (have to say that Severus is straight in here but it won't mean that Sirius has to be or is he? …isn't it shocking that there is at least one story of mine where the lead characters are straights (or one) ?)
Anyway, do review and sorry about the delay in chapters it's just that there is only a few days until my final test and then I'm getting my diploma!!!!

Chapter 2: Still getting my wish.
"You shouldn't have read- that was my private – how could you-?" The voice broke through the blankness that occupied his mind.
He turned towards it and felt his breath catch.
There, in front of him was a sight he could only dream about ever seeing again.
Red hair that seemed to move in a non-existing wind and sparkling green eyes that stared his way for a second before turning away.
Alive.
She was alive again.
But why was she so young?
He raised a hand to his neck but could find neither blood nor pierced holes on his skin.
Had he died and gone to heaven where he was allowed to watch his love where she was still innocent? Still only his?
"That boy found it! You and that boy have been sneaking in my room!" Petunia's voice screeched and Severus retrieved his earlier thoughts.
No.
It couldn't be heaven even if Lily was there.
He may be a cynical man but he knew it just didn't make sense.
It was like time had turned back.
He froze.
Time.
Was it possible that he went through it? Traveled backwards until he reached…when?
"No- not sneaking- Severus saw the envelope, and he couldn't believe a muggle could have contacted Hogwarts, that's all! He says there must be wizards working undercover in the postal service who take care of-…"
First year.
Just had to be.
A small smile spread through his tight mask.
He may have only gone back in time, but Lily was still only his.
Not to mention that he could change the future so that she wouldn't have to die.
Potter.
The boy had walked to his own death; Severus just knew it and felt bitterness spread inside him.
It was all Dumbledore's fault.
The old man had kept on ordering him to save the boy but when the time came where it finally mattered, he was told that potter must die, that he should have died on that Halloween all those years ago but couldn't as there were still things he needed to do.
Harry Potter was a puppet on strings with the headmaster as the puppeteer.
He resisted the urge to growl as he strengthens his mind shields. It would do no good if he would get mad over something that had yet to happen.
Something that he could change from happening in the first place.
"Goodbye Severus." He almost jumped at his mother's voice.
"Yes, mother." He sneered as he hurried to the train, both to change his disgusting muggle clothes as well as seeing and talking to Lily.
He froze in the process of removing his shirt.
Damn it, Lily was sitting next to Black and Potter.
He sighed, sacrifices had to be made.
"I don't want to talk to you." Lily said the minute he opened the door to their compartment. "Because of you Petunia doesn't want to talk to me."
Severus resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He honestly wondered why his Lily cared about the filthy muggle of a sister (one he suspected abused her nephew) but realized that this was what made him like Lily in the first place.
She always granted second chances.
Yeah, such a shame she never gave you one, a voice commented in his mind; but Severus had years of practice in ignoring it.
"Then write her a letter, later." He almost repeated the same words he spoke before but decided to change his mind.
Lily frowned before she nodded. "I suppose I will."
Severus felt his breath catch when she smiled.
God, she was so beautiful.
"So what house do you want to be in?" Severus asked, trying to change the conversation so he wouldn't have to hear potter going on about Slytherin.
"I don't know, I mean it all sounds good." She shrugged. "What about you?"
"Slytherin." He answered promptly. After all, he was in that house for seven years not to mention that he was head of it for over ten.
"Slytherin? I think I'll leave, wouldn't you?" Potter spoke up staring at Sirius.
Snape saw Black shake his head. "My entire family has been in Slytherin, so it's like tradition. But I know some Slytherins that are pretty much okay as long as you ignore the snark." He muttered the last and Lily giggled.
Snape, however, frowned.
Why would Black change what he'd said before?
He shook his head. After all, he was changing the past so there was bound to be some ripple affects.
"And I thought you were normal." James Potter spoke, staring horrified at his future best friend.
Snape tried not to smirk.
He loved it when those two fought.
"Well, I'm thinking of breaking tradition."
Snape shook his head once more. He obviously had not changed much…yet.
"I would rather you be in Slytherin, Lily, much better than Gryffindor." The youngest potions' master spoke up.
He forgot the fact that he hadn't wanted potter to go on about Slytherin, too late.
"No way! Slytherin isn't the best house at all! Like hell it is! I'll have you know that every death eater was in Slytherin."
"Were not!" Sirius Black and Severus Snape stared at one another in surprise.
Black coughed. "Well, it wouldn't make since, would it? He'll have fewer followers if it was like that so…" He trailed off and Snape's eyes narrowed.
Before he could say something, not that he had any idea as to what, Potter intervened.
"Figures that a future snake would protect others."
"Oh honestly," Lily shook her head. "I read that a lot of dark wizards and witches came from all over the houses not just sly-" She was rudely cut off by Potter.
"I don't care!" He shook his head. "I think I'm going to find someplace else to sit. Wouldn't want to catch something from sitting with snake supporters."
Lily glared at the retreating boy. "Oh, how rude!" she turned to Severus. "Sev, do you suppose you can explain potions to me one more time?"
Severus nodded tightly, trying to resist the urge to smirk.
This was great.
Lily was his and Potter and Black are at odds with one another.
What could possibly go wrong?
Tbc.

A/n: well? What do you think? And I have more where that came from…. Review please!
