Disclaimer: I own nothing. Harry Potter and all the characters belong to
JK Rowling and I hope she doesn't mind I borrow them. I would also like to
say that the whole Prince of Griffindor thing belongs to the author of the
Gilded Lily, which I myself enjoy. I would like to say that I only
borrowed the title (Prince of Griffindor) and will not be anything like the
Gilded Lily.
A Life in a Moment
Chapter 13: Severus or Snape?
A week had passed and the syltherins had tried many attempts at cursing or hexing the Griffindors but most of the time they were foiled. Most of the tower was watching the marauder's backs. It was Saturday and Ravenclaw lost to Hufflepuff today in Quidditch.
Once again I was spending my Saturday afternoon in the potions classroom. Severus was there when I walked in and set up my cauldron. He really fit in down here. Though I would never say it out loud. He was always nice to me even though he still had a creepy feel.
"Hi Lily." He said sheepishly.
"Hello Severus." I started to put out my ingredients. I always kept my work area in potions very organized it was a pet peeve. I couldn't stand a messy workspace. You can't mix potions properly when you can't find ingredients and add them when needed.
"What are you working on today?"
"A shrinking solution. I am starting to review for the end of the year exams. What about you?"
"A weak truth serum actually."
"I didn't think those were on the curriculum this year."
"Its not but potions is my favorite." I nodded my approval. He was top in the class or at least he was for potions. I began to crush my dried scarab beetles.

"Wow Lily you were so being nice to Snape!" I had just walked around the corner and Severus had gone the other way. Arabella was waiting for me and her eyes were bulging.
"He's nice to me." I shrugged.
"Yeah but his best friends is your worst enemy right after Potter." I laughed.
"Well Malfoy yeah he's definitely a jerk actually more than a jerk more like pond scum, but anyway, I don't have a reason to not be nice to Severus other than that."
"You called Snape Severus!"
"Close your mouth Bella."
"Lily I think he likes you."
"Bella!"
"Who likes Evans?" We were walking into the Great Hall for dinner. Its amazing how several months ago we were always lost and know we didn't even have to think we just got to our destinations. I punched Bella so she would keep her mouth shut. The last thing I needed was for that to get stuck in Sirius' and Potter's heads.
"Do tell. Come on…" Sirius was begging.
"No way!" Bella and me took a seat and to our disgust James and Sirius sat across from us with Peter. Remus sat next to me. We groaned.
"What's wrong?" Remus asked.
"Nothing!" Bella and me answered.
"We are trying to find out who likes Lily." Sirius replied.
"Someone likes Lily?" He raised his eyebrows. I banged my head on the table in annoyance. Potter laughed.
Potter had told Remus he knew his secret the night he found out. But unfortunately Potter wasn't the only one to figure out something was wrong with him.
"Okay we'll come back to that question later… Next… So Remus how is your mother doing?" I choked on the ham pie I had been eating. Bella pounded on my back. Potter kicked me under the table.
"OUCH!" James I am going to kill you. I glared at him. He smiled back and winked? Ohhh! I get it. Sirius you IDIOT!
"She is having a rough time." Remus replied. He was a smooth liar I'll give him that.
I was biding my time. Then bam. I kicked Potter with everything I had right in the shin.
"Son of a b-" Sirius clapped his hand over his mouth before McGonall heard. She was now looking our way. Giving us one of her prize glares. The headmaster I noticed smiled.
"That's right Potter. I always pay my debts." I smiled sweetly.
"Man that is so going to bruise CARROT!" I growled. I hate that name!
"Like mine isn't!" Now we were both seething. It was only a matter of time before one of us dived across the table. Or so everyone thought. You have to admit we did change the subject. After staring each other down we went back to our dinner much to our friends' relief. He sneaked a look at me and winked. I returned it. Even though we enjoy hurting each other we would never physically throw it down no matter how much we hated each other. It was a silent agreement. Although our friends didn't know that. I was ready to burst out in fits of laughter.
The only sad thing was this was a temporary fix. And until Remus built up the courage and is ready to tell we were going to have to deter Sirius. That was a sobering thought because it is easier said than done.

"That's right Potter. I got you alone and guess what it is time for payback." That was Severus and he was going to curse Potter. They were right around the corner. I was on my way down to potions. Bella had gone ahead without me because I had left my textbook up in the dorms. I guess Potter was late too. I walked around the corner.
"What's going on?" I said. I had my arms crossed. I wasn't happy. No one curses Potter but me.
"Ah Lily, what are you doing here shouldn't you be in Potions." He quickly put down his wand. I could hear James' shoulders relax. He didn't want to show Severus he was scared even though Severus is know for some pretty nasty hexes.
"I forgot my text book. Come on we don't want to be late." I held the book up for emphasis.
"Alright lets go. Come on Lily." James turned grabbed my arm and pulled me taking me by surprise and pulling me into the seat next to him. I could see Severus skulk in after us. He was not happy. "I see who Bella was talking about." He whispered to me. I frowned.
"Just because your mean to him doesn't mean he is my enemy too." I replied sharply. Now I was stuck working with him. "Besides if I hadn't shown up he would have cursed you pretty bad so you should be thanking me." I started to put out the supplies.
"What kind of a person would curse another." He was trying to make me think badly about Severus but I had his number.
"Um let me think because you do it to me all the time." Is he always this dense.
"That's different."
"Really how?" I said deadpanning him. He was throwing out ingredients so they were all over the place. I scowled. "How do you expect to make a potion in this mess." It wasn't a question. I started to neaten it.
"I can't believe you are consorting with the enemy." He muttered like he was disgusted with me.
"Excuse me? He's your enemy not mine and next time I interrupt I will tell him to continue gladly." Grr.
"Five points from Griffindor Miss Evans. No talking." I glared at Potter. I could hear Malfoy snickering. The rest of that class was not fun.
~ Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed. I really appreciate reviews and I don't mind flames. I am planning on editing and re posting the earlier chapters. I will just be editing for spelling errors and stuff! Next chapters will be out soon if all goes well! ~puddles~
