This had gone on long enough. After months of sitting together in every class, Severus just stopped. Without warning, out of the blue. For the past week and a half he'd been sitting with Evan Rosier and completely ignoring me. He'd still smile and wave from across the room, he'd still say hello to me as we passed in the halls, but he would not come anywhere near me in a classroom. And now I wanted to know why. "Severus!" I snapped, striding forcefully across the courtyard to where he sat on a bench, scribbling furiously away in that God-forsaken black notebook. "You've been ignoring me for over a week, and I want to know what's wrong." Slowly closing his notebook, he looked up at me sheepishly. "Lily, can we go somewhere to talk privately?"
