I own nothing!
ALERT: Snape is out of character(OOC)
This chapter is super duper short due to the fact that I now like James Potter maybe slightly a little.
There was a knock at the door. Snape whirled around. Who would knock at this time? Well, not at this time, it was a very normal time to knock, but who would come to his house? The Dark Lord? Bellatrix Lestrange? That woman sent chills up his spine. He walked to the door. The caller knocked again. Severus listened. The knock was followed by a sob. A familiar sob. Of someone he knew. Someone who just happened to have had a baby lately.
He threw open the door. And sure enough, standing there was Lily Evans. Yes, Evans. Possibly of her own free will. And possibly not of her own free will. But she was crying. And it hurt him to see her like this. She was his only, and best, friend.
"Lily Evans." He said softly. She wrapped her arms around him. Finally. He let her sob into his black cloak, he never dared to go out to a bar, club, outside of his door... anyway. When they finally pulled away, Lily's eyes were bloodshot and red from crying. She looked so tragic, but to Snape, it only added to her beauty and amazingness.
"James..." Lily wailed.
"James what?" Severus held her face in his hands.
"Sev...I-I think we broke up." Lily waited for Severus' reaction.
Inside, he was glowing with joy. On the outside... "Oh, Lily. I'm sorry. Really. James never deserved you anyways."
Severus welcomed Lily into his home...if you could call it a home. Dimly lit, everything was some sort of drab, dreary color, as in the candles were black. But then again, Lily had always known Severus to be a bit depressed and dark. It was subject to change, though.
