Snape's POV.
We arrived at Lily's house, not far away from my own. Lily knew that I didn't want to go there, so we stayed a pretty good distance from there. Petunia, Lily's sister, barged out of the house in a rampage. "MUM! DAD! WHAT'S HE DOING HERE! HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE! HE'S A FREAK, JUST LIKE LILY!" she bellowed as loud as her vocal chords would allow, not caring about whether or not the neighbors would hear. "Petunia, dear, you've got to learn to be more accepting of your sister and her… kind. If you block everyone out, you're going to be an up tight, ugly woman that marries the fattest man in London, who is just as up tight as you, and your son will be a fat and annoying child, who only cares about getting what he wants!" Mrs. Evans said. (A/N: I'm sorry, I just had to say that. xD MRS. EVANS IS A PSYCHIC! O:) "MUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM!" Petunia shrieked, hurting my ears. "NOW GO TO YOUR ROOM AND DON'T COME OUT UNTIL DINNER!" Mr. Evans fussed, knowing that if he didn't, she would never listen. Petunia stamped her foot and stormed inside, her black hair swaying out behind her skinny, privet-school-uniform-wearing body. "I'm sorry about that. Petunia's wanted to go to Hogwarts since I got my acceptance letter, and I suppose she's just jealous that you're magic, too." Lily apologized for her bratty sister. "Oh, it's fine. I don't really mind. I've learned to ignore people like that." I confessed, trying my best not to call her a muggle. Especially around her parents. I know they wouldn't have taken to that very well, either. "I'll go finish dinner. Are you two going to stay out here?" Mrs. Evans asked of us, and I looked to Lily. "We'll stay out here. If that's okay with you, Severus." Lily said, looking to me. "Fine with me. Whatever you want to do." I replied. "Alright, well you two have fun." Mrs. Evans said, as Mr. Evans gave me a look that said, "Not too much fun." I nodded and, once they left, walked over to the tree that me and Lily always used to sit in when we were younger. I patted the branch that she always used to sit on and she smiled. She came over and sat on the familiar branch and began to toy with my long black hair. "It's going to be nice to just hang out with you again, like we used to, before Potter." Lily said, and I could sense she was smiling, just by the tone of her voice. "Yeah. I've really missed you, Lil." I said, using her nickname that I haven't used in the longest time, always being interrupted by Potter. "I've missed you, too, Severus. Especially since we got sorted into different houses. We hardly get to see each other anymore. We need to hang out a lot more often. I mean… If you want…" Lily said, near the end being her usual shy self. "Of course I want to. You're way better to hang out with than Lucius." I said, referring to my new-found friend who was teaching me some of the Dark Arts, which I had always found interest in. "I really don't like the fact that you hang out with him, Severus. What if he changes you?" she said sadly, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm never going to change, Lil. I promise you." I said, turned around on my branch, and pulled her into a hug. She hugged me back, slipping off of her branch and into my lap, making it easier for us to hug each other. "Thank you, Severus." she whispered in my ear, snuggling her head into my shoulder, her red hair falling in her face. "No problem." I replied, a smile on my face.
A few minutes later, we heard the voice of Mrs. Evans calling us in for dinner. I let Lily down first, and came down after her. We walked up to the house and into the kitchen. I could feel Petunia glaring at me, as if she was trying to burn a hole in the back of my head. "Petunia, can you go in your room and eat? I don't want you having another little outburst during dinner." Mrs. Evans said, looking at her eldest daughter. "Sorry, Tuney, but I just don't want you making Severus feel bad." Lily told her sister, one year her elder. "Whatever. You're both just a couple of weirdos!" Petunia said and stormed out of the room. "Again, sorry about that." Lily said, turning to me. "Oh, it's fine. I don't mind." I said and sat down to eat.
I tried to make this chapter as long as I could, but I have writers block, and couldn't think of anything past that point. Soyeah. Review! :D
