Disclaimer: Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling. I'm just playing in her world.
A/N: This is at the beginning of Fifth Year, before the big fall out. In the flashback, it seemed like Lily only stood up for Severus because of who she was; she didn't talk about him like they were best friends. This is my take on it. Requested by 'Rueflowersmall and delicate'.
Title: Hanging by a Thread.
Summary: Friendships can't always last.
Genre: Friendship, I guess.

I don't understand what's going on between Severus and I. Before Fifth year, we were inseparable, the best of friends. Nothing could come between us.
But lately, everything he says, everything he does … it gets to me, really annoys me. And it's the same with him. Just a few days ago, he had a go at me for being too studious. Yesterday, I snapped at him for looking at himself obsessively in the lake's rippling reflection. We'd huff about it for the rest of the day, but in the morning, we act as if nothing happened, even though we know it did.
I don't get it. What's causing us to become so different and strange all of a sudden? Why do I want to spend more time with Alice and Dorcas, instead of Sev? Why is this happening?
I don't know, and I'm not sure I want to. I just want everything to fix itself, so Severus and I can go back to being friends. I mean, we still are friends – but I don't want us hanging off of a thread all the time.
I don't like this. At all.
A/N: I'm not keen on this one, but it's alright.
