Chapter Two – Strange encounters
I let out breath of relief; the lessons for today are finally over! I honestly couldn't wait to meet up with Lily, our new tentative friendship making me giddy and happier than I was before. I ignore the fact that are probably going to be more arguments in the future as my opinion of Dark Arts hasn't change and probably won't either…
Taking two steps at a time up a staircase, I nearly jog towards the floor where Lily wanted to meet. I force myself to calm my breathing, unless I want Lily to see me red-faced and panting like some animal.
That thought calms me a little.
Reaching the second floor, I look around for the familiar and vibrant red hair or the sparkling green eyes. The whole area is empty, except for me of course. Sitting down, I wait patiently for Lily; she's probably running late or is caught up in something important. I practically zone out as I wait nearly a whole hour, the time passing by slowly.
Standing up, I feel frustrated that she hasn't shown herself, the self-depreciating part of my brain whispering about Lily's friendship and kindness a prank of some sort. Despite the fact Lily would never do that, I start to believe it. Walking towards the staircase, so I can go down to the dungeons and mope, a creaking sound from my far right makes me stop. Looking round, I see the Hospital Wing door slightly open.
I forgot the fact the Hospital Wing was in the second floor, I don't have much time to think before somebody hugs me from behind.
"Severus…" The voice coos, which I notice with dismay sounds male. I manage to turn my head around and come face to face with James Potter.
I utterly still, full of shock, what the hell was Potter doing!?
"Get off!" I yell, struggling against the Chasers grip, he finally let's go of me. I stumble to the ground, whipping my wand out to point it at my bully.
Who just smiles dopily to me?
"Don't act like that," Potter sighs, not even flinching at my wand. "I just wanted to hug you; you're so cute when you blush like that."
I gape, my wand slipping from my hand…
Did James Potter really say that?
"What the hell!" I yell again, stumbling to my feet, picking up my wand to point it at the obviously sick boy. "You hate me, and I certainly don't want your hugs!"
Potter pouts, raising his hands in a defeated way, which never happens, at all.
What the hell happened to Potter?
"Sorry… I was just so excited to see you," Potter says, confusing me even more. He stares at me with a dazed expression. "You're so beautiful sometimes…"
"You're sick," I hiss, gripping my wand tighter.
"I know… with love…!" Potter coos, throwing himself at my feet, almost kissing my robes. "I apologize for everything, I really do love you, how couldn't I?"
"Shut up…" I hoarsely order, kicking Potter away from my feet. "I don't know what's wrong with you, I'm starting to prefer the old you."
"I can change!" Potter almost yells, looking at me with a weird expression. His sudden mood changes making me feel slightly scared. I step back, wanting to run away.
"Please don't go!" Potter starts to cry, his sobbing so unusual I'm at a loss of what to do.
I run.
I'm panting, out of breath, as I manage to get away from the deranged psychopath. I find myself in a broom closet, far away from the crying Chaser. I feel like yelling out in frustration.
"Severus!" A voice calls out; I flinch until I realize it's a more feminine voice.
Lily's voice.
"Lily!" I call out, rushing out of the cupboard, nearly falling into Lily, who neared my hiding place. She must notice my frantic voice and expression as she places an apologetic hand on my shaking shoulder.
"Sorry about being late, I was held up in my Dormitory for a while," Lily says, hugging me briefly before pulling me along with her. "You look really spooked, Severus… what's wrong?"
I'm about to tell Lily all about Potter's madness but for some reason I don't want to.
"Um…" I try to think of an excuse. "…It's nothing, don't worry about me."
"If you're sure," Lily sighs, accepting my horrible explanation. "You can always talk to me about anything, Sev."
"I know…" I mumble, already knowing that fact. But I appreciate Lily's sentiment anyway. I follow her almost cheerful footsteps until we reach the spot beside the lake again, I sit next to her, a bit closer than I should but she doesn't seem to mind.
I forgot how much I missed our closeness.
We begin to chat about unimportant things, I'm secretly reveling the fact we are acting the same before the big argument. I don't realize as fast the hours go by, but soon enough its sunset, the red and purple sky reminding us of the impending day of school tomorrow.
"I got to go now," Lily says, sounding a bit miffed at our time being cut off. "I'll see you tomorrow, Sev."
"Bye," I sigh, watching Lily's retreating back before heading into the castle, down to the dungeons to sleep.
The day could have gone better.
A/N: Like I said, a bit shorter than usual, but I've been kind of busy so sorry for that. I will hopefully write the next chapter tomorrow or next weekend. See you till' then.
