Feelings Part 2
Severus stood outside the door for a few extra minutes; something inside him knew this could end one of two ways. One, things would go great or he would do or say something wrong and Lily would never speak to him again. He considered his options for a moment, he could run away or he could go in their and let fate decide what happened. He breathed deeply and walked through the threshold.
The room was definitely a girls' dormitory, posters of male movie stars lined some of the walls, make up was scattered everywhere, along with other bits of clothing. Magazines lined the floors, the air smelled of several different perfumes making his head spin.
"What's wrong Sev?" Lily asked.
"Nothing," he mumbled in reply and sat down next to her on the bed. Lily blushed slightly when he sat a little too close to her, but she didn't move away Severus noticed.
"So, Sev, I was just wondering…well I just wanted to tell you that…" she trailed off, not looking at him. Now Severus was interested, what was she trying to say, did she like him, was she going to profess her undying love for him, his heart beat loudly in his chest.
"What is it Lily?" he asked trying to be calm.
"I just wanted to tell you that…" but they were interrupted when two giggling girls burst through the door, both of them laughing hysterically.
"Oh sorry!" One of them said loudly, laughed and turned to leave with her friend. But Severus was not deterred,
"What were you going to say Lily?" She looked up at him now, and starred into his eyes.
"I was going to tell you that I love you Severus." Her face was now a bright pink, she looked out the window. Severus couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, and couldn't think. He reached over and gently turned her face towards him,
"I love you too Lily." She smiled brightly and flung her arms around, he was lost in her scent, his head spinning. They stayed that way for a moment then Lily drew back and Severus taking the cue leaned in a kissed her gracefully on the lips.
Being only eleven that was all they knew; small kisses and touches, cute simple love. Severus left some twenty minutes later for him dormitory, only after asking her to be his girlfriend and she excepting. One last kiss was exchanged outside the door of the girls' dormitory, but just as they kissed James Potter came up the stairs.
"Lily!?" James shouted his eyes darted back and forth between Lily and Severus.
"What do you want James?" Severus stepped in front of Lily protectively, his arms crossed.
"I…" he looked nervous now, unsure of what to do; he just turned around and slammed the boys' dormitory door shut. Severus smirked, said good bye again to Lily and walked to the Slytherin common room.
