Snape stayed up is dorm, and skipped all his classes. He was heartbroken over what happened after class yesterday.

"It's all my fault. I should have told her. Now she's with Potter." Tears kept sliding down his face. "I love her. That's all there is to it. I love her!"

"Hey, Severus!" Narcissa was yelling from the common room. "You coming to Potions, today or what?!" He had skipped all the classes and potions was the last one today. DOUBLE POTIONS. "You Professor Slughorn knows you've been skipping classes and he's probably going to be pissed if you don't show up!"

He flinched. Lily's in that class. She sits right next to him. "No, I'm not ready to face her." He thought. "No, Narcissa! Tell him I'm sick!" He couldn't stand lying; however, it was better than crying in class. He put the sheets over his face, to cover his tears from the world.

"Got it! Come on, Belle." Bellatrix and Narcissa went down the steps and headed for class. "Good afternoon, Professor Slughorn."

"Ah, Miss and Miss Black. Will Mr. Snape be joining us today?" He could tell by their expressions. "He's not?"

"No. He's sick. Too sick to go to class, but he says this kind of sickness can't be cured by Madam Pomfrey." They skipped to their seats. Lily had a worried look on her face.

"He's out sick? I wonder what's wrong." She thought, not paying attention to the class.

2 hours, which seemed like a year, of potions, went by. Once the bell rang, Lily sprinted out of class.

"Hey, Narcissa!" She caught up with her and Bellatrix. "I need a big favor." She led her over by the lake. "Look. I could use James's Insivibilty Cloak and you can get me into Slytherin Common Room. I know Severus won't come down and I have to talk to him."

"I don't know. What about the password?" She wasn't sure Lily was trustworthy.

"Just say it and I'll cover my ears, promise. Bellatrix can come with me and she'll make sure I do it." They nodded and led her up to Slytherin Dormitories.

"COVER THOSE EARS, EVANS!" Bellatrix screamed under the cloak. "Don't even think about trying to listen!!"

Just as she promised, Lily covered her ears, while Narcissa said the password. Once in, she sprinted up the stairs to find him lying there. She quickly took off the cloak. He jumped.

"Evans?" He asked, startled. He noticed he was crying and brushed the tears away.

"I need to talk to you! You've been missing classes, why?" He turned away.

"That's none of your business, you filthy Mudblood!" Lily was the one who was crying now.

"Fine." She reached for the cloak and was about to leave. Until, Snape grabbed the hand and caught her in a kiss. After a few moments, she pushed him away. She put the cloak on and left the common room.

"Severus kissed me." She thought, blushing. "I can't do this! James is my boyfriend. But why do I have a desire to be with Severus?" She ran to James and hugged him.

"Hey, what?" He asked, hugging her back. He could tell she was worried. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing. I should go to the dorms. Bye." She gave him a kiss before departing. She looked so happy; however, underneath that smile was guilt.
