Finally! Another chapter! :) The other day I finally created an outline for this story...so I basically know how the rest of its gonna go. Updates should come more often. There is supposed to be (according to the outline) 20 total chapters...that could change but its unlikely. I was pretty specific tehehe :)

Song for this chapter:

Safe in Your Arms by Beth Orton

Time moves so sure
runs rings around he treees
its silence mocking
in the wind against the leaves
for all your loss and gain
the soul defines its suffering
an illusion is hope born from fear
and now you're right back here
safe in my arms my dear

"Lily! Hey Lily, over here!" Severus Snape called from an empty corner of the Slytherin table, waving his arms frantically trying to secure her attention.

She gave Sev a small smile before starting to make her way over there. Her new friends Rachel and Mary pulled her back with them, not letting her sit with the gross Slytherin boy. They were beautiful Gryffindor girls, why shouldn't they sit with the gang of boys we now know as the Marauders .

Severus's face fell as he sat through that night's dinner alone.

Severus and Lily had potions together, and he viewed this as a huge opportunity to snag her affections. Hadn't that kiss on the train meant anything to her?
However, when he had tried to sit right next to her, her friends quickly stepped in before Lily even noticed that Sev was there.

Again and again, Severus tried and tried to get some time with Lily. Again and again he was thwarted by Rachel and Mary.

One night, Lily realized suddenly how much she was missing Sev. Once she started thinking about it, it consumed her every thought. She was overwhelmed with the sensation that some part of her was missing.

She hopped out of bed and raced down the corridor s, dodging professors every so often. There was one professor, she didn't see. Professor (and new headmaster) Albus Dumbledore. And although he very clearly saw her with tears welling in her eyes, racing through the corridors, he did nothing. For, this professor understood what it was like to be young and alone. So he let the events continue as they were without any intervention from him. This decision would haunt him forever. He would wonder if the suffering he saw Severus go through was partly because he never intervened when the children were young enough to forget.

Lily tiptoed when she neared the Slytherin part of the castle. She had no idea how to get there but she had an idea where it was.

However, once she got there it appeared that Sev had the same idea. She saw him standing alone in the hallway. She ran over to him and jumped into his arms.

"Sev!" She yelled holding him close. His face immediately broke into a huge smile as he hugged her back, memorizing the feel of her body close to his.

They stayed like this for a very long time then Lily pulled away.

"Sev, what's happened to us? We are best friends."

"I don't know Lil." He murmured back longing to hold her again.

"Let's go. Let's get out of this place for one night! Who cares if we get in trouble? As long as I get to be with you."

How could Snape have refused an offer like that? He couldn't. He could never refuse Lily Evans.

They crept out of the castle to a secret area that Severus had found earlier. It was far enough away from both the Forbidden Forrest and Hogwarts that they would be safe. Completely safe in each others arms.

They fell asleep after talking for a while, with Lily's head resting on Severus's chest and his arms around her waist. He didn't sleep that night. Instead he just watched as the most beautiful girl in the world slept next to him.

I hope you liked it! Sorry it's kinda short...REVIEWS PLEASE!

PS I have no idea if Dumbledore was already headmaster when Snape was there but I think he was...if I'm wrong, let me know :) I will then take it as my own creative lisence.
