"Oh, hey Peter," this bonkers girl said nonchalantly. Nonchalantly my ass. How the hell can you be nonchalant after snogging Snivellous? He must take all the nonchalant-ness out of you.

"Tali what the hell do you think you're doing?" Peter yelled at her.

"Making out with- no sorry I mean 'snogging' Sev," she said just as nonchalantly before. Okay I really need to get a new word.

"Is there any particular reason you're snogging Snivellous?" Peter questioned her, looking like he hoped she did it against her will. But then again I'm pretty sure if he knew how loud she was being before he wouldn't really have even entertained the thought.

"I've never snogged anyone named Snivellous. I have snogged Severus though, if that's what you're talking about," she stated, being a smartass. God I hate smartasses.

"Fine Tali," Peter ground out, "why are you snogging Snape?"

"Because he's good at it," she responded cheekily.

"Tal!" Peter exclaimed.

"Peter!" she exclaimed back in the same voice, mocking him.

"Out of all the guys in the world you could date you choose the greasy git? I mean you could do so much better than him? He's worthless!" Peter yelled at her. I totally agreed; I hardly knew the girl and I could already tell that she could do better. Than again anyone can do better that Snivellous.

Peter's little rant seemed to unfreeze the once frozen Snivellous who was just gaping at us at first.

"Listen here Pettigrew," he spat out, his hand slowly going for his wand. But the girl put her hand on his shoulder, and he stopped to look at her.

"Sev, babe, please. Don't. For me?" she pleaded. Snape just stared at her for a moment, his gaze softening eventually. He moved his hand away from his wand, and into her waiting hand. The girl than turned her gaze to Pete, and she looked…sad?

"Peter," she began softly, "I always thought…I always thought you were better than that," she told him. "Better than them," she finished quietly, motioning to Prongs and me. What the hell was wrong with her? We're awesome!

"Guess I was wrong," she told him, and she seemed so disappointed.

She turned and whispered something to Snape, which made him angry.

"No!" he yelled, "I'm not leaving you here alone with these bastards!"

And in a second he was flat on his back.

"You," James sneered with his wand still out, "are in no position to call us names Snivellous."

And in the next second all four if us were stuck high up on the wall, silenced.

"Now neither are you," the girl told us smirking. Apparently she then realized that her boyfriend had been hexed.

"Sev, are you okay?" she asked him, helping him up.

"Yes I am fine," Snape said.

"Are you sure because you were hit pretty hard and-,"

"Lina stop nagging! You're being insufferable," he said.

"Well I'll stop being insufferable when you stop being an asshole. So, basically, never gonna happen!"

They both glared at each other willing the other to break first, and surprisingly it was Jones who did. She smiled at him, and then the impossible happened.

Snivellous smiled back.

And then they were kissing.

Again.

"Babe, please go. I can obviously handle myself," she said gesturing to us on the wall.

"No! What if they hurt you?" he said concernedly.

"Seeeev!" she whined, "I'm first in our class for a reason. Please go, I promise I'll come find you when I finish with them," she begged.

"Fine, but you come find me the moment you're done," he told her sternly.

"Sir, yes sir," she said saluting him.

"It's an American thing," she clarified at his both confused and amused expression.

He gave her a chaste kiss, glared at us, and then walked away.

After watching his retreating back with a small smile, she then turned to us wand raised.

I braced myself for the curse or hex, and I could tell the others did too. But it never came. The next thing I knew I could speak again. But we were all still stuck to the wall.

"You're a liar," was the first thing James said.

"What are you talking about Potter?" she asked him in an exasperated voice, sounding a lot like Evans.

"You said to Snivellous that you were first in class. That's a lie! Lily is." James said, sounding like a proud parent.

"Uh no. She's not. Hasn't been since about the middle of second year," she stated matter of factly.

"No that can't be true. All of us would know," Remus reasoned. Ya what he said.

"I highly doubt that Lupin," the girl replied.

"And why is that?" Remus questioned, looking interested.

"Because I don't make a spectacle of myself like Lily does. People think she's the smartest witch in this castle because she thinks, and acts, like she is," the girl affirmed.

"Are you calling Lily an attention whore? Because if you are then if anyone should be called a whore it should be-,"James began harshly, trying to protect the girl he loved.

"Potter!" she cried out, "Before you finish that sentence I would like to remind who in this situation is stuck against a wall, and who is the person holding a wand to them," she told Prongs looking quite menacing.

"I'm not calling Lily anything. She's my friend, and I don't treat my friends like that," she continued, shooting Pete a look.

"All I'm saying is that Lily needs the reassurance that she's smart. She needs everyone else to know that she's worthy of being here. I think it's probably because she's muggleborn. She's trying so hard to prove to everyone that she does belong," she finished. And most of what she said made sense. I remember trying to prove to everyone that I wasn't the evil git that they thought I was when I was sorted into Gryffindor.

"Now then, I would appreciate it if you left me and my boyfriend alone," the girl commented firmly. Then in the next few second we were all on the ground again. She shot us all a dirty look when she noticed that James' hand was reaching for his wand.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you Potter. I'm first in our class for a reason."

And then she started to walk away. She took only a few steps when she stopped and turned around.

"Oh and Peter," she said, "don't talk to me unless you've found a way to pull your head out of your ass and accept that I'm with someone I love and that loves me back. And if you can't do that, well than…consider our friendship over."

And then she was gone.

"Hey how did it go?" Sev asked me, rubbing my shoulders in a comforting way.

"Fine," I replied shrugging. "As well as it could go."

"No Lina. Don't do that. Don't shut yourself off to me, please just tell me how it went," he begged me. And after seeing that face, well I just couldn't resist.

"I...I-I... I'm SO angry! I mean Peter is my friend! How could he say those things! I understand that he and his band of asses don't like you very much, but I never thought that he would sink to their level! And why the hell do I get the feeling that if this rant was written there would be exclamation marks after every sentence!"

Severus just looked at me with a very hard expression to read. You spend a year and dating someone and sometimes you can't even read their facial expressions. Only Severus.

He just sat there, holding me as I tried to push back the tears. And I did. Because if there is one thing I never do its cry. Ever. I promised myself I never would after… after Joey.

"Well at least one good thing came from this," I told Sev with a slight smile.

"I got what I wanted. That gang of hooligans is never gonna keep this a secret. We're definitely going public." I waited for his reaction, but he just sat there and all of a sudden smiled.

"Hooligans, really? Out of all the words you could use, you choose hooligans? Who are you McGonagall?" he said laughing through the whole thing.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Severus Snape, my boyfriend.
