Lily P.O.V.

She stared at him, having to decide to either believe or not believe him. He looked so sincere, his turqoise eyes on her eyes, pleading with her to understand.

"How do I know that you're telling me the truth? What if your lying?" She asked, her lips set, and her eyes were locked straight on him.

"I don't know, you just have to trust me until I can figure out a way to tell you." Harry said, subconciously flattening his har.

"What do we do until you can find something that can help explain it?" Lily asked, hoping he had some form of evidence for her, and was not playing with her.

Alexander's eyes brightened, and he wrestled something out of the pocket of his robes. It was a picture, crumpled at the edges and looked like it had been torn once.

"This is a picture of you, me, and dad, I am a baby in this picture." Alexander said, blushing lightly. Lily took the picture from his palm, holding it delicately.

On it was a man and a woman, the man had messy black hair, a pair of glasses, and had his head thrown back in laughter, the woman had long red hair, she was smiling and watching a baby fly on a broom, chasing a cat, and then the baby started chasing the cat, and Lily giggled as the cat jumped and knocked over an ugly vase.

"This is me and James, isn't it?" She asked, looking at the man in the picture. The man was handsome, and Lily felt something in the pit of her stomach.

"Lily, do you love James?" Alexander asked, his turquoise eyes on hers again, such intensity.

"I don't know." She ansered truthfully, her voice shaking slightly. Lily didn't know she felt about James, she wanted to like him, but a part of her remembered when James had ganged up on Severus.

"Lily, we had better get you to Gryffindor Common room before curfew." Alexander said, his voice was soft and he didn't want to get her into trouble.

It was a silent walk back to the common room, Lily thinking hard about what he had said.

"In private can I call you Harry?" She asked when they got to the portrait hole. Alexander looked at her, surprise in his features.

"Yes." He said softly, a wider smile brushing his lips.

"Pheonix." She told the Fat Lady, stepping through the portrait hole and taking one last look at Alex... Harry.

"Match against Gryffindor tomorrow, gonna be there Severus?" Lucius Malfoy drawled, a smirk at the corner of his lips.

"No, I have more important things to do than watch a silly sport." Severus said, reading his Arithmancy text book, studying for the test on Monday.

"Severus, Severus, Severus, do you not have a life outside your potions and textbooks?" Malfoy bit back, running his fingers through his shoulder length blond hair.

"Hey Malfoy, who has Uncle Abraxas set for your bride?" Theodore Nott asked, his eyes on Malfoy.

"Narcissa Black, quite pretty if I do say so, and I am quite pleased that I am not with Bellatrix." Lucius said, his cold grey eyes on him.

Severus tried to tune out their voices and return to his Arthimancy, his dark eyes focusing on the rune for Acceptance.

"Hey Snape, still moping about the Mudblood Evans?" The voice of Geoffrey Goyle asked, his chubby face shining in the lamp light.

"No." Severus said, even though his heart told him otherwise. Severus closed his eyes and breathed through his nose, Lily Evans's face appeared, her smiling at him.

He sighed and looked at the sheets of his bed, the dark green silk brushed his hands. He wished Lily Evans layed on green, instead she rested on red, she a lionness, and he a snake.

Severus pulled the curtains to his bed and closed them, encasing him in darkness, trying not to listen to them speak.

"Mr. Moon is strange, no one can deny that, but I think that Slughorn is going to invite him to join Slug Club." Lucius said, arrogance in his voice. Severus paused for a second, deciding to listen.

"A lesson in two days, wonder what it's going to be about this time, maybe a filthy halfbreed." Nott said, arrogance in his voice.

"We better get to bed, the match is tomorrow and I don't want my team falling asleep on their brooms." Lucius said and almost immediately silence fell in the Slytherin seventh year boys dorm.

"Hey James, don't take this the wrong way but don't you think you over reacted?" Remus Lupin said softly, gazing at his long time friend.

"I don't know, I just got so mad when I saw her hugging him." James said softly, his eyes downcast. Sirius Black looked at his best mate and sighed, knowing that James wouldn't be right until Lily either forgave or went out with him.

"Why don't you just ask Lily if she likes Moon?" Peter Pettigrew asked, his watery blue eyes on James. James looked at Peter, knowing what he said was true.

"I'll try to talk to her tomorrow after the match." James said softly. James walked over to his trunk, pulling out his pajamas and started pulling off his robes, when he finished getting changed, he crawled into bed, laying on the scarlet sheets, uneasy and tired.
