He just stood in the doorway looking at James. To think all of this is my fault. I should just leave. If I truly love Lily then I should want her to be happy. And if I am her friend I should realize that to be happy she needs to be with James. As much as I love her, I can't do this to her. I need to leave.
It was once he reached this thought and began to turn to leave that James noticed Severus standing there. James started toward Severus with a manic look in his eyes.
"YOU! You ruined everything! You always did! In school when ever I started to get close to Lily YOU would come in and take her away. It was obvious you loved her even if she didn't see it. And now, NOW you come here when she is MARRIED to ME, and try to take her away. AWAY!"
The whole time James was speaking, well yelling, he was moving towards Severus and by the time he got to the last 'away' he was inches away from the greasy nose he was infamous for. But unlike when they were younger Severus didn't back away. He stood there. Then James in his fury starting punching him. But Severus just stood there. His calmness was infuriating James.
"SAY something. Explain your self! How could you do this? We were happy. You could have just stayed away. YES I was grateful that you were looking out for Harry, but no once everything was ok you just couldn't resist butting in and RUINING everything. So EXPLAIN yourself." James shouted. James knew he wasn't making sense, but you know what Lily loving Snape didn't make much sense to him either.
"James, I wont pretend to demean your intellect by denying that I love her. I do, but I am going to leave you alone. I have realized that she is happy with you no clue as to why, but she is. I don't want to ruin her happiness and even though I don't honestly care for yours I will leave you two." Severus replied with his usual sneer, and tried to leave again.
"Wait," James said, Severus noting the hint of anguish in his voice, turned, "she loves you."
That being said, James just broke down crying. But Severus was oblivious to all of this, he kept hearing in his head 'she loves you'.
A few days later found Lily and Tonks bustling about Tonks' house like worried chickens. Fred was bringing his new girlfriend over and everything had to be perfect. Lily was in the kitchen cooking and Tonks was doing anything she could. She went around cleaning and polishing. Fred and Remus were upstairs because when they tried to go downstairs Tonks would mother them, brushing their hair and fixing their clothes. They figured it was safest in their rooms.
Tonks, exhausted, sat down, as there was nothing left for her to worry over. If only I could say the same for Lily, Tonks thought watching her busy herself with pans and spices and knives, At least I don't run the risk poisoning someone.
Chuckling to herself at her joke she thought it best not to try to help Lily in the kitchen, she was hopeless when it came to that. She was "no Molly Weasley" as Remus had so kindly put it once.
Lily, forgetting Tonks was sitting there let out a large sigh. Tonks had noticed this sigh, and many others lately. To think she is jealous of a girl, but it must be hard for her to let go. Fred is like a son to us, and every mother's time comes when she has to let go of their child when they find love.
Tonks had misunderstood Lily's problem, thinking it was annoyance at being replaced in Fred's heart as the main woman in his life, well afterlife. This may have been part of it, but the real thing tearing her apart was her love of two completely different men. She had spent the last few days trying to make out her feelings but she wasn't any closer than she was before.
They all lost their train of thought when they heard the cat-scream noise of the doorbell. Pandora had arrived.
