Love only left me alone
"You're nothing but a stupid mudblood. What do you know?" Severus snarked at his best friend, Lily Evans.
She let out a shocked gasp.
"Severus Snape, how could you call me such an awful thing! I thought you were better than this! Clearly I was wrong!"
He sneered down at her, "Clearly. Lucius was right, I have been hanging with the wrong kinds of people. Well not anymore."
"Severus wait!" She took a step towards him, but he shoved her back, hard. She was caught by the very one and only James Potter. Their hands collide in skin to skin contact, and a mystical spark happened between them.
"Wh-what? What just happened. James?" Lily turned to her savior, looking startled.
James looked much the same. Lily looked back at Severus and frowned.
"Severus I-"
"Save it. Just leave."
Tears welled up in her eyes as he stalked off towards the dungeons.
James turned to her and said, "Lilly... I'm so sorry..."
"I gotta go.." and she ran off away from James. She couldn't handle this right now. She just lost her best friend, and found her soulmate in the same moment? Life was too cruel sometimes.
James did the only thing he could think of that was right, and chased after the distressed teen.
"Lily, wait! It's okay! Just talk to me!" he caught up to her quickly and grabbed her arm to slow her down. She finally came to a stop and turned to get a good look at him. She had never paid much attention to him before. She knew he had a crush on her, but he was mean to Severus her now former best friend.
"We're soulmates Lily. You know as well as I do, that we're bonded now. There's no running from this."
She let out a deep sigh.
"I know James, believe me I know. I never thought it'd be you. Not in a million years."
"Harsh but fair."
He tilted her head up, and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. What she didn't see was Severus coming up behind them.
"Lily I'm sor-" he froze dead in his tracks at the sight of his girlfriend and his worst enemy kissing. Soulmates? Lily was James Potter's soulmate?
"Severus I-"
"No! Just go. Leave me alone."
"No listen I'm-"
"NO. Love only left me alone!"
