So Lily and Severus started their fourth year at Hogwarts. Once again, they only had Potions and Care of Magical Creatures together, so they each looked forward to Mondays and Wednesdays. Severus was now much more comfortable with himself, and began to show his sexy, passionate side to Lily. Lily loved it, needless to say.

The Wednesday of Halloween night, Dumbledore decided that they were going to try having a Halloween Masquerade for third years and above. Everyone would go to Hogsmeade and buy a costume, of course. So, Severus and Lily went to Hogsmeade to pick out their costumes. Lily picked out a beautiful, white silk, 18 th century ball gown with a lace mask. Severus, wanting to coordinate with Lily, picked out a black 18th century suit, complete with ruffled front, and a silk black mask. This masquerade would be the first time that they went out into public together as more than friends.

Though they were scared of Potter's reaction, Lily vowed to be with Severus as much as she could from now on, and she would hex Potter into oblivion if he ever tried to hurt Severus. The only problem would be Transfiguration 5. Because Severus and Potter were gifted in Transfiguration, they were in a different class than Lily, who was in Transfiguration 4. They had always been above her in Transfiguration, but she couldn't guarantee that Potter wouldn't do anything fishy before or after class. Lily had decided that she would walk Severus to Transfiguration and wait for him afterwards. Then Potter couldn't do anything to Severus.

On Wednesday night, Severus changed into his costume, and went down to the entrance to the Great Hall to wait for Lily. Lily took a little bit longer, because she wanted her hair and makeup to look flawless, even though she knew Severus wouldn't mind if she went there with bed-head in a potato sack. It was really the fact that she wanted to make Potter angry that, no matter how good he looked, she would always pick Severus over him.

Everyone turned their heads in awe as Lily walked down the marble staircase. Nobody had seen her in anything other than loose Hogwarts uniforms and straight red hair. Severus was in shock. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life before. And she was his, all his. Not Potter's, HIS. Everyone gasped as Severus stepped forward and offered his arm to her. They gasped even louder when Lily accepted it and they walked into the Great Hall together. They went to the center of the room and danced the whole night long. Lily and Severus were both pleased when they saw that Potter, dressed up as a Snitch, and his partner dressed up as a Quaffle, looked over at them with glaring eyes. Lily even saw Potter go red!

Lily and Severus went back to their common rooms, waiting for midnight. They both even stayed in their costumes! Then, at the stroke of midnight, Lily and Severus began running to the Room of Requirements. Severus went a little faster because Lily was in high heels. As soon as Lily came and knocked on the door, Severus opened it.

Sev, you looked so handsome!

I looked like a sack of potatoes compared to you, Lily. Everyone did.

Aww, Sev! Did you see what Potter and Rachel Hannigan dressed up as?!

I know. They looked like complete idiots!

Well, Potter always does, but poor Rachel! I mean, that must've been mortifying!

Potter wished he was with you, I could tell.

Well, he wasn't, was he?

No, he most certainly wasn't.

And they began kissing, more passionately then they ever had. Severus had turned into quite the professional, while Lily had been good from practically the beginning.

Lily, get that mask off your face. I can't see your eyes.

I'll take it off if you take it off for me.

Okay.

And Severus slowly and carefully rose the mask off of her face.

Now you take yours off.

What, I do it for you and you don't do it for me?

Your wish is my command.

And once Severus's mask was off, they began kissing again. Neither of them had ever been so happy in their whole lives. All that was real was each other, and everything else was simply reality. Then, the big red couch had appeared again. They had gotten tired of standing, so they sat down on the couch and continued, only stopping for breath. But, by 2:00 am, they both became tired, so they laid down on the couch and fell asleep, Severus's arms wrapped around Lily, and visa versa
