Don't get confused with the two italics:

-Lily-

Severus


Detention: Severus Snape, Lily Evans, James Potter

For: Fighting, as usual, and putting Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew in the hospital wing.

Assignment: Writing notes to each other for an entire detention period, in silence and without moving from their seat.


Hi, Lily

-Screw you, Potter.-

What's the matter?

You got her into detention, idiot.

Shut up, Snivelly. It was your fault, anyway.

It was not!

-You are all insufferable.-

Am not! We would be perfect angels if Snivellus here wasn't around, or at least wasn't such a git.

Oh, I'm sure.

-Why can't you two try to get along?-

Yeah Snivelly, can't you try to be nice for once?

Perfectly. Just not to you.

-Okay, that's it. You two have to now give each other a compliment, a genuine compliment, or I won't speak, or write, to either of you ever again.-

What?

-I'm waiting.-

Be patient Lily. I'm trying to think.

It's cool that you know so many Dark spells that you could probably usurp He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named with a twitch of your wand and a thought in your head.

Very funny. I would not switch places with you if I could. With all your popularity and my upbringing, it would surely result in disaster.

Thank you very much. You are one of the few people who can make a compliment sound like an insult.

-I thought it was an insult.-

I would say that is because even though we are all writing in English, opposite genders actually speak different languages.

-Thanks ever so much, Sev.-

You're ever so welcome, Lily.

Hey! I'm here too! You're hogging the note!

Yeah, so?

-Be nice, Severus.-

Stop making faces, Potter.

Make me.

-Don't you dare. Do you know what'll happen if you two start pummeling each other here? It won't just be more detention.-

Detention's over, thank God. See you later! Oh and Lily, will you go out with me?
