A/N: I know I know it has been forever! My new job is really taken a toll on me. But I promise to update more from now on. I wanna take time to say thanks to Carmeleissle5cullen whose review reminded me how long it really has been. And as to your review regarding Severus and Lily, they have a very very complicated relationship. As to whether or not they'll get together you'll just have to wait and see! :) Again I don't own anything sadly, I just do this for fun, and with that one with the story!
From then on Lily spent most of her time in the library reading. Harry and the others had gone back to Hogwarts, Sirius was still mad that she hexed him, and she hadn't heard any word from Severus, nor did she expect any. So this is where Lily stayed and kept to herself.
It was on one of these cold, lonely nights that she heard a racket coming from downstairs. She sighed to herself and ignored it. She had enough drama going on and didn't need to add anymore, no matter what was going on. She listened as she heard stomping on the stairs. She looked up again and saw Sirius obviously pissed about something.
"Your needed downstairs." Was all he said to her before retreating to his room. Shaking her head she put her book down and headed down. Severus Snape was at the bottom smiling and offering his hand. She took it but gave him a questioning look.
"Whats going on?" She asked
"I came to apologize. You had every right to be mad at me for I was acting like a child. And I want to make it up to you so I made you dinner." He led her to the dinning room and held out her chair. Lily inhaled deeply, it smelled wonderful.
"Whine?" he asked smiling.
"Yes, thank you." He filled up her cup and sat at his seat. Lily ate enjoying the meal. She was happy, she looked around the only light was from the numerous candles he lit and charmed to float around the room and soft music played in the back round. Severus cleared his throat and he looked up into his dark eyes that always seemed to make her body melt.
"Is the food good?"
"It's wonderful Severus thank you. But you really didn't have to do all this."
"Yes I did Lily." Severus sighed. "I forget that you see me different then the others do. You see the true side of me, I have to be so hard sometimes that I forget I don't have to be that way with you. My behavior was unforgivable, I'm still surprised you agreed to eat with me and not hex me into oblivion."
"Severus I will always forgive you, you've always been there for me." Lily smiled. "And I'm surprised, I didn't think I'd hear from you for at least a few more days. And I know you are different with everyone else, I've seen what you've gone through. I'm shocked I'm not the same way. But I do expect us to fight every so often. It's what friends do." Severus nodded and they continued to eat.
Through out the meal Lily couldn't help but blush. Severus kept staring and smiling at her. After a while she couldn't take it anymore. "Do I have something on my face?"
Severus smiled and shook his head. "No you just look very pretty in the candle light." As soon as the words came out he ducked his head and returned to eating. Lily smiled and blushed and did the same.
After coffee and dessert was finished Lily looked at Severus with evil eyes.
"Lets dance."
"I don't think so Ms. Potter."
This just mad Lily grin evilly. "Oh its Ms. Potter again is it? Come on Severus. No one is here and Sirius is still sulking in his room. And I promise not to tell anyone that the vile potions master knows how to dance."
"Alright." He stood up and held out his hand, which she took. As they began Lily put her head on his shoulder and sighed in content.
"I always feel so safe in your arms Severus." She smiled looking up into his eyes.
He looked back into hers, drowning in the deep pools of hazel. His hand brushed her cheek as he said, "You are always safe with me angel, I will always be here to protect you."
Her heart rate quickened as she saw his lips go towards her. She blushed as she closed her eyes waiting for his soft lips to touch hers.
"Hope I'm not interrupting anything." Sirius said sourly as he leaned against the door frame.
Severus and Lily jumped apart quickly. Lily looked down at the floor trying to get rid of her blush and Severus glared at Sirius, obviously annoyed with the intrusion. "I must leave now."
Lily watched Severus as he left the room, trying not to let her angry tears come through. She glared at Sirius as he was now looking at his feet like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"I hope your happy Sirius." She said through ground teeth. "You just ruined one of the best evenings I've had in my life." She turned away from him and began to clean the plates on the table.
