Why Can't I Have You?
Chapter 3
After that day in the forest, Lily and Sev's relationship had changed quite a bit. They now spent a lot more time together.
They walked the halls hand-in-hand, sat under a tree watching the lake and talking, studied together and when they weren't together they had their owls exchange letters between them.
Everything seemed to be going perfectly.
They were so well off that their houses started commenting about them being a couple.
This gained Lily some enemies in her house, Gryffindor, and the same happened in Sev's case.
"He's a Slytherin you know, they're all bad to the core" said Ingrid, one of Lily's friends.
"You can't judge a person by their house; not all Slytherins are bad just like not all Gryffindors are good. I didn't know you thought like them, Ingrid", she finished looking at her friend angrily and disappointed.
By 'them' she referred to the people from her house that came up to her and called her things like 'house traitor' or just plain looked over at her with a loathing expression then turned to their friends and whispered something to make them smirk.
"Besides, we're not exactly officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet; he still didn't ask me", she said grabbing her books and loading a number of them into her backpack.
She was heading off down to the library to meet him.
When she was walking down the stairs she ran into James who said "hi" shortly and then, as if remembering something, asked her very rudely "where are you going all loaded up like that? Going to meet up with Snevelious?" laughing at his own joke like he was surprised at his own brilliance.
"Don't you dare call him that James Potter! And don't think I won't go to Dumbledore; I know how you and your little friends pick on him, you're low and pathetic."
"Me pathetic?", he said indignated but slightly affected by the remark about Dumbledore, "you wouldn't dare tell Dumbledore."
"Try me" she said with a loathfull expression.
At this he backed off but not before turning back and saying, "He's hiding it from you, you know."
"Hiding what!?" she demanded but he just smirked and ran off.
She decided he was just trying to annoy her, pulling her chain, but still it intrigued her and saddened her. What could Severus be hiding from her? Could it be true? If it was, what was it? Why did James have to run off, little jerk, I wanted to know.
She continued down the stairs deciding to trust Sev, he wouldn't lie to her, right?
