A/N: I suck. I'm sorry. My only excuses are a lack of time and inspiration. That said, I'm not making any more promises. Except that I will finish this story sometime during my summer break :).

U is for (Un)related

Lily Evans and Severus Snape were an unlikely pair. James was sure that he would never in his life understand how they could be friends. Lily stood for everything Severus Snape seemed to loathe. She should have known that it was dangerous to cavort with the likes of him in times like these.

The first time Snape saw James and Lily in the Great Hall talking like friends, he resolutely rose from his seat. Approaching Avery and Mulciber, he stated simply, "I'm in." James had won, and he was going to do whatever he wanted to. Lily Evans be damned.
