Harry Potter or Harry Snape?
by Hsi Chan
Lily rocked the small child in her arms gently, although he had gone to sleep a few hours ago. She paced the library with a small frown creasing her brow, and she slowly made her way over to the window. The sun was just peaking over the treeline of the Forbidden Forest, its colors splashed the clouds with reds, greens, and oranges. The sound of a boot hitting the floor made Lily turn suddenly, to come face to face with two eyes with eyes so dark they were like night. The owner of the eyes looked fleetingly at Lily and then stared at the small bundle in her eyes, they seemed to crinkle, as if holding back tears. But then the person whose eyes looked mournfully at the child turned and walked out of the library. It was all Lily could do to hold back her own tears.

The ride to the Three Broomsticks seemed longer than it really was. It had been so long since Lily was last in Hogsmeade, it must have been a good two months ago, and then it was only because James had wanted to get a butterbeer. Lily shook her head and emptied it of all thoughts of James, she refused to think about him, and she wouldn't let him bring her good mood down.
The Knight Bus stopped on Main Street of Hogsmeade, the busiest street on the busiest day of the week. Everyone was rushing from shop to shop, buying those exotic ingredients before they stopped being stocked, others simply refilled their current stocks, and here and there there was several children, their cheeks pink from the cold, ran around and played silly little games.
Lily felt a pang of jealousy at a passing couple who had two beautiful little girls, she wanted a family, but James had said no. His reasoning had been that to bring a child into this world 'would be an act of cruelity.' So her dreams of having a dozen children running around her knees came crashing down to the cruel world. But Lily couldn't think of that now, the Three Broomsticks loomed in the distance and from the music playing it would probably be packed.
And it was. Wall to wall people, each wearing different robes, some flashy others toned down. Bright and dark, clean and dirty, some with furs others with thick cloth, some wore pointed hats, it was like a salad, so many different people tossed together without a care for who stood next to them or ten feet away. Lily smiled as she made her way to the bar.
It took awhile but Lily was finally able to get the attention of the bartender, a severe, gaunt man, and get a butterbeer. After the first sip Lily immediately felt warm from the tips of her ears to the tips of her toes. By the time she had finished another large group of people entered for a butterbeer. Maybe the universe decided to play a big joke, or maybe Fate led the two to each other but for some reason just as Lily was leaving someone else tried to come in.
Severus Snape.
Lily felt her heart jump into her throat. He still had that effect on her, his eyes still seemed to stare directly into her soul, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she couldn't hide anything from him. He had grown considerably taller and his skin seemed paler than she remembered, but then again she probably looked different too. "Excuse me." he said in that voice that made Lily's skin tingle. "But I would like to get by."
Lily's heart froze and she numbly moved out of his way, and he moved deftly through the crowd toward a small group containing a large, burly man, a woman with black hair about Lily's age, and someone in a purple robe. He didn't recognize me, she thought to herself, she thought about him once a day and knew it was him on sight. But he didn't even get a glimmer of recognition in his eyes. Did I really change that much? she asked the hallowed halls of her mind.
She walked out onto the street, the crowds had thinned a bit, and she walked around Hogsmeade, the chill pinching her cheeks. Finally, the stinging in her legs reached her brain and she was forced to sit down on a bench. Searching her surrondings she found she was right across the street from The Amazing Apothecary Shoppe and lo and behold who should be entering the store but her old dancing partner,(AN:HINT) Severus Snape.
Feeling slightly belligerent Lily got up and marched across the street fully intent on giving Severus what-for. She entered the shop, it was dusty and smelled worse then a child with a boo-boo in its pants, and began to look for Severus. It was a small shop in width but the length of it was very incredible, nearly 15 aisles filled to overflowing with bottles and jars. There was huge barrels of powder and spices at the end of each aisle and there was barely enough room for one person to move about in.
As Lily began to look for Severus she looked at the tiny bottles of liquid and jars of powder and bottles with small organs in them, and she realized that there was no order to them, they just went down the aisle. If you needed something specific you would need to go down each aisle and read every label, each was on in blue ink on yellow parchment. Finally, she found Severus towards the back looking at several bottles of what looked like powdered vampire's blood.
"What do you want Lily?" Severus said in a no nonsense tone of voice. As he turned towards her with that familiar look in his eyes Lily felt all her hostility fly out the window. Memories came flooding back to Lily, memories of Hogwarts, memories of her's and Severus's relationship, and memories of the last day of school. When she floated back to earth she realized that Severus was still waiting. "Have I really changed that much?" she blurted the first question that came to mind.
Severus lips formed a small smile, which only caused irritation to Lily, and she could tell he was trying not to laugh. "You track me down, stalk me across town, corner me in a store and you ask that." he said in a voice close to its breaking point, "Same old Lily." He chuckled as he put down two of the three bottles in his hands. Lily frowned at him, looking incredible like the unborn Hermione Granger.
"I was not stalking you." she retorted at him as they walked towards the front counter. There sitting on a tall stool was a man about two feet in height, his beard reached to his feet and it and his hair was pure white. His face was incredible wrinkled and it looked like his nose had been cut off long ago. "Thirty-five Knuts, Professor." he said, as he extended his hand for the money Snape muttered at him, "I should stop coming here Artan, The Awesome Apothecary Shoppe's prices are at least half yours." The old man just grunted and Snape handed the old man a Galleon, and Artan handed him 15 Sickles and 23 Knuts.
"Don't ignore me." Lily said as they got out to the street. "I assumed you would grow out of that adolescent behavior but it appears-" she was cut off abruptly by Snape's laugh. He was clutching his stomach and his eyes were closed trying to hold in tears of mirth. Lily felt her blood boil, she hated being laughed at more than she hated being ignored.
"Come on." Severus said as he regained control of himself, "I'll buy you dinner."
AN:What will happen at dinner? Will Snape put the moves on Lily? Tune in next time for "Harry Potter or Harry Snape?"
