Lily Evans has always hated James Potter. Hasn't she?
She can't help but notice he's grown taller and leaner. His skin is tan and his hair is as unruly as ever. His eyes are hazel, not that she didn't know that, but seem darker, older and somehow crying out for love. "Snap out of it Evans," she tells herself, "you're a married woman now."
She walks up to Pott- no. James. James. He smirks at her and she's shocked by his almost-flirting. She's about to tell him off when she realizes he's smirking at another girl behind her. She rolls her eyes, irritated. Typical Potter, acting smug when he gets a girl to fall for him right before he crushes them. Wait. What? "He hasn't done that to anyone except Anna and SHE was cheating on HIM," her ever helpful conscience pipes in.
Her mind shuts off though when he hugs the admittedly pretty brunette and she has the most genuine smile on her face she's ever seen. "James! I've missed you so much! Not being able to see you for two months is hard," squealed the brunette. James grins at the said brunette, seemingly oblivious to anyone except the two of them. Lily clears her throat slightly and the happy couple look up and blush.
"Er, Melissa," he gestures to the brunette, "this is Lily… Snape?" The brunette smiles and extends her arm for a handshake and Lily is about to do the same when she notices the last name he used. It sounds harsh and wrong with her name and she feels a pang of guilt before saying, "James, it's Lily Evans. Melissa, nice to meet you."
James looks shocked for a second before an unreadable expression crosses his face. He nods and turns back to Melissa, telling her he'll meet her later. Lily feels irritated with their display of love. Just because she and Severus aren't like that. Or maybe, she's just a little jealous.
