"Lily? Severus Snape is demanding to see you. He says he'll camp outside the Gryffindor Common Room until he sees you." Marry MacDonald said.
"Huh? Oh, yes, of course. Thanks Mary." Lily grumbled under her breath. He had tried talking to her so many times, it was getting very annoying. He had made his decision quite clear on that day by the lake. She made her way to see him anyways. This would be the last time she'd hear him out.
"Lily!" Snape said once he saw her.
"Get it over with, Snape." She spat out. Normally, she'd be at least civil with him, but, today was different.
She saw pain in his eyes, but dismissed it.
"Look, Lily, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, I was just embarrassed, and I wasn't thinking straight. I mean I, I, never meant for it to happen, and I never wanted you to hate me."
"Well first of all, I've already forgiven you. I just don't think we can be friends. Secondly, I don't hate you, Severus, I'm just disappointed that you turned out everything you've said you'll never be. You said you'd never be like them. You promised me. Always you said. But you lied. You said you would never betray me, but you did. You choose them over me. I was your best friend, remember that?" Lily could feel the anger boiling in her blood. She laughed a little, but not a laugh filled with joy. "You were always there for me. What happened Severus? They corrupted you. They corrupted my best mate, and truthfully? We haven't been friends for a long time. We've been fooling ourselves. Ever since you met Mucliber and Avery, you've changed. I was best friends with the boy who lived down in Spinnets End. The boy who introduced me to magic. Not you."
Li-"
"Save it for later, Snape." She venom dripping.
And suddenly James came bursting through the door. «"Oh, sorry Lily." When opening the door, the door managed to hit Lily. Severus was preparing himself, because he knew Lily would start screaming and yelling at him.
Yet that moment never came. Lily just smiled. "It's fine James."
James looked at her company. "Is he bothering you?"
"No it's fine, James. I was just leaving."
Snape couldn't believe it. "It's James now, is it? You choose him over me? I thought you hated him. You told me so many times."
"I will always choose him over you. He is ten times the person you will ever be. And honestly? I never hated him." And with that Lily turned and entered the Gryffindor Common Room.
James was about to follow her but he said something first.
"Don't you dare talk to her again, Snape. Leave her alone. You had your chance and you lost it. Now it's my turn."
And he left Snape to wonder where it had all gone wrong.
