Lily's Need Sunlight
Hey guys, after a long week I have another chapter for you hope you like it!
This chapter is from the point of view of Severus after waking from passing out at the sight of Lily.
This chapter is for my new Beta reader "The Ashes Fan"! Thanks heaps for being so quick at what you do :)
Also a quick mention to "Andrea", who's review for some reason cracked me up :P
Anyway... I do not own anything... If I did Sirius would have killed Belatrix instead!
Enjoy ;)
Chapter Three: The First Step is Acceptance
Severus' POV:
"Merlin's Beard!" Severus exclaimed groggily as he woke to the offensive sunlight coming into the room, his head pounding, his body aching all over. Waking up had definitely not been a smart move, he felt like death.
As he peeled back his sleep encrusted eyelids he was faced with the sight of the painfully white ceiling of the hospital wing, immediately answering the question as to his whereabouts as it made its way into his clouded mind. His head throbbed, as if a marching band was keeping its beat between his ears. He cringed as he shifted in the uniform bed, causing the springs to squeak, painful to his sensitive ears. He shifted uncomfortably in the bed, the combined smell of the sterile room around him and the stale sweaty smell he himself put off as Fire Whiskey seeped through his pores turning his stomach. Drinking before his patrolling duty was clearly not a good idea, regardless of how much more enjoyment he got out of scaring the wits out of frolicsome teens when he had a buzz, lesson learnt.
Why am I here? He thought, turning his head from side to side to view his familiar surroundings, cringing at the stiffness in his neck.
As his mind cleared the fog clouding his thoughts, he began to recall the events of the previous night. He had been patrolling the corridors after curfew, looking for rule breakers like Potter and the other two of the dream team, when, upon turning a corner, he had been nearly knocked off his feet as something hit him in the chest, a very solid something.
Before him, he saw a girl with the exact shade and length as his Lily's fierce hair had been sprawled out on the floor before him.
Growing angry very quickly in his intoxicated state, he was unable to supress to painful memories that resurfaced as the girl struggled to her feet. Getting ready to unleash all hell upon the girl, he froze as in his drunken haze, the young girl before him looked just as Lily had twenty odd years ago when they were in school. Adding on to the same flowing hair, the girl seemed to share Lily's facial features. She had the same full red lips, same almost Slytherin pale skin, she even had the exact same shape and colour of Lily's majestic eyes.
When the girl had spoken to him and sounded just like he remembered Lily's honey rich voice to, it had become too much for him to handle. His final thought before he saw only blackness was how much he had missed those eyes, those indescribable green eyes.
He was pulled out of his brooding when he realised that the girl so like his Lily had to have been that Weasley girl, the one always fawning over Potter. He must have seen her striking hair, her Gryffindor robes and then morphed her face into a liking of the angelic face of Lily.
He groaned out loud, the little chit was probably sitting with Potter and his fan club, laughing at the state she had found him in, and how he had been left to the mercy of the red headed menace. He made a mental note to give the youngest Weasley a detention for wondering the corridors after hours and assaulting his person. He didn't want her to think he owed her or anything for not leaving him there on the cold floor, he just considered himself lucky that she had gotten him to the hospital wing in one piece.
Severus was quick to wriggle out of the confines of the hospitals corner bed, moving stealthily to the door and his escape out of the hospital wing, out from the overly mothering eyes of Pomphrey.
He quickly considered going to the Gryffindor tower to deliver the Weasley girl her detention personally, but on second thought he turned towards the dungeons where his rooms were, he needed some hangover potion, and quick. The youngest Weasley would get news of her detention with the morning post by owl.
Thanks for reading guy's :) Please review, it really does warm my heart!
The next chapter will take a little as my beta is going away for the week... That just means it will be extra long!
