Severus chased after her. Despite of being behind before, he found he could run forever after her now. As Lily ran thought the Great Hall she felt tears burning down her cheeks. Why was she crying? Severus was right behind her. He managed to stop her in an alcove off one of the spiral staircases. "Lily, what in Merlin's name is wrong?" He hugged her tightly, letting her gasp into his chest. "I- I don't know… It's just ..." Lily looked up into Severus' eyes for the first time since this morning. "It's- I'm sorry I had to do that… I just wanted him to leave me- us- alone for once. I thought if I could make them think I could get them in trouble, they'd leave. I just kinda lost it when James… When Potter…" He was at a loss for words. Lily whispered softly to Snape, "Don't worry…" and she slowly pressed her Lips up to his and the loud bell rang. Snape didn't even hear the bell. He was lost in her lips. The girl of his dreams has kissing him. The girl of his dreams was kissing him! People would soon be pouring out of classrooms, but neither cared. He moved one hand from her back to her hair, running his fingers through it. When they departed, it was by the tons of kids rushing down the halls.
