The Change Of Heart

"Well?"

It was about a month since I had found out about Sev's crush on Lily, and every day since I had been trying to get something to happen. Today, although I did not know it, was going to be the day.

"Look," He replied, with evident frustration "I am trying! I'll get there in my own time! You know, I wish I had never told you sometimes!"

Then, it hit me. Why hadn't I used this approach before? It was bound to work!

"You know, James has been getting closer to Lily lately..." I left a lingering pause, just to make sure he got the point. "...and if you don't get a bloody move on, he might just get there first!"

I have never yet seen anyone spin around so quickly, and I have never seen such a look of morbid horror on anyone's face.

"He wouldn't dare!" he snapped, and then his face lost any remaining colour, and if anyone had walked in, they would have though he was a ghost. "Would he?"

I just looked at him. I couldn't believe it made him that angry, and I knew if I opened my mouth, I would laugh. I knew James would be mortified, and quite possibly really hurt if Severus got there first, but my Loyalties were cast iron, and I had to make sure that was how it happened. And anyway, wouldn't it just happen the other way around if I didn't give Sev a little nudge.

He finally realised that nothing was going to happen unless he told her, and he sprinted out of the room. I must admit, my first thought was how fast he was, and I was quite impressed. then my second thought was that he had just run off to find Lily, and I had to be there when he told her, if for no other reason but to keep him from messing it all up!

I ran straight out of the door and followed as close as I could, all the way to the library.
