Chapter 4
The next morning Lily quickly dressed into her school robes, it was odd to have the first day of term start on a Friday, but Lily decided not to complain. She pulled her long hair back into a pony tail and after applying a light dusting of lavender eye shadow and mango-coconut lip gloss Lily was rushing down the steps of her dorm. She reached the bottom and nearly crashed into another person.
"Good morning Evans." James smiled down at Lily whose eyes widened and her heart sped up.
"Good morning." She replied looking down at the floor and attempting to walk past him.
"Where are you in such a rush to get to?" He placed one hand on the wall beside her, keeping her trapped in the stairwell.
"Breakfast." Lily said plainly trying to push past him. "Please move James."
"Alright." James looked at her concerned but she merely rushed out of the door and off down the corridor. She was one of the first few to arrive and she quickly grabbed some toast and Hot Chocolate; nothing better for breakfast in her opinion, though her family usually argued with her.
"I think there's something wrong with Lily." James told his friends as they sat at the Gryffindor table for breakfast; Lily had waved her friends off a couple of minutes ago.
"Why do you say that?" Sirius asked a bit of egg hanging from the corner of his mouth, Remus rolled his eyes.
"She's called me James a lot instead of Potter and she said 'please' to me this morning. Just a few seconds ago she even waved away her friends." James explained and Sirius glanced down the table at the girl in question.
"What if a magical creature replaced her over the summer?" Sirius gasped and Remus started to laugh really hard. "What's so funny?"
"You- oh never mind." Remus finally got his laughing under control but he was grinning like an idiot.
"I admit that Evans is acting quite different though, I mean she actually said yes to you." Peter commented earning a glare, even though James knew it was true.
"What exactly did Evans' tell you Moony?" James turned back to his friend who was still grinning.
"I promised Lily I wouldn't tell; I'm not breaking up our friendship because of your mere curiosity. If you really want to know, ask her to explain it to you; who knows, she might just say yes again." Then Remus was gone from the hall and both James and Sirius were exchanging weird glances.
Lily stood up from the table and began to head towards the Great Hall doors when Severus slipped away from the Slytherin table. James his curious and overprotective self, slipped his invisibility cloak out of his robes pocket and disappeared from view.
"Lily?" Severus approached Lily cautiously and she turned to face him. When her eyes met his, her heart started to pound as it had whenever she was around James.
"Hello." Lily responded politely and Severus was silently pleased.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, again. I really did mess up; I let Potter get to me. Please forgive me?" He had a genuine look on his face that caught Lily's attention. A head ache slowly began to form again and she knew that she was getting to the point of passing out. None of the Marauder's were around her though, was Severus causing this reaction inside her? Lily swallowed as he took a careful step closer.
"I-" Lily paused for the space of a second. "I forgive you Sev."
"Really?" Severus looked so hopeful staring into her electric green eyes, Lily nodded slowly, slightly mesmerized by the black around black.
"I've missed you." She whispered, barely loud enough for either of them to hear.
"I've missed you too." He replied gripping her shoulder lightly and Lily closed her eyes at the slight touch, not feeling another protective hand on her back.
"I'll see you in Potions?" Lily measured out and Severus nodded, a smile that hadn't been on his face for two years, gracing his lips.
"Yeah." Then Severus was gone and Lily continued on her way out of the Great Hall. The headache slowly faded
"Lily!" Alice called from behind her and she turned to face her two friends who were running to catch up.
"We'll walk with you to class." Marlene stated and they left no option for Lily to decline.
"What was with you and Snape earlier?" Alice asked calmly, watching her best friend out of the corner of her eye.
"He came to apologize again." Lily explained and her friends exchanged glances.
"He did?" Alice sounded wary.
"What did you say?" Marlene questioned, pushing for further information silently.
"I forgave him." Marlene and Alice were, no other way to put it, shocked. "I have a reason, my Veela genes. I was standing with him and my Veela genes started to react, I figured it had something to do with my mate, I wanted to test my theory and in order to do that I have to be friends with him again. I still haven't forgiven him inside my head yet."
"I thought they reacted to one of the Marauder's though?" Marlene was thunderstruck.
"I thought so too, that's why I'm confused. I have to be alone with Severus in order to find out what's going on." Lily said quickly.
"Is it possible for a Veela to have two mates?" Alice wondered out loud.
"Ah, reading those text books all ready are you?" A voice issued from behind the three girls making them jump violently. They turned to see their new Professor striding towards them confidently. "I'm Professor October."
"Hello, yes we were just discussing some of the under explained ideas." Lily quickly covered.
"I've always wondered that myself, no one has ever been able to explain that to me though. If you girls ever find an answer, please inform me. I would like to use it in my Veela section." The Professor October had disappeared down the hall and the three girls breathed a sigh of relief.
"We need to be more careful." Lily looked ready to pass out.
"More careful on what?" James Potter asked from behind them suddenly and Lily really did pass out. "Is it just me, or does Lily seem to pass out whenever I'm close to her?"
"It's not just you." Marlene, Alice, and Remus informed him at the same time before carrying Lily towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, slightly desperate to put some distance between her and James.
Look at that, the girls almost got caught twice. Also, what is going on with Lily and Severus? I hope you all got what happened otherwise I'm slightly disappointed.
Frannychan: You understand this story so much already! I'm glad you picked up on it! I was hoping someone would make the connection between the story and the beginning of the first chapter! You don't know how happy you've made me!
JessandDarcy: Thanks! I just really didn't want to type up all the rules again, yep. Glad you liked it.
ArwenFairTinuviel: Have too. lol, not at that time, but recently a lot. *wipes sweat off brow*I think it's safe to say Severus. ;) Though I did always picture Lily and Remus having a brief romantic interlude in their fifth year with Remus breaking it off because he felt disloyal to James.
PotterKnowsBest: Thank you so much! I will answer your question with Yes, seeing as it is not a spoiler. =D I never thought of that! Now I'm thinking I should totally do that! It would be hilarious! (I probably won't, since this isn't a crossover)
Please leave me a review! Thank you all! ~May
