Lily lay awake in bed, watching the sleet crash down in heavy sheets outside her window. It was cold that night and she was curled up under her thick blanket, pulling it right up below her chin. Depressing and dreary, almost exactly like her mood. Death Eater. She hated the word. Yet it was a part of Severus and she loved him. A mudblood and a death eater. That had to make her smile, it was almost scandalous. What was she going to do? Severus' words from that very night she found out rang true in her ear. This was not a safe relationship to be in. She sighed and absentmindedly played with the fabric on her blanket. At least with James she only had to worry about 3/4 of the female population of Hogwarts. Now she had to worry about being murdered in her sleep. Wasn't this lovely?
There had to be a way out of it for him. Voldermort can't be that strong can he? Everyone makes mistakes and Severus just happened to make an extremely stupid one. She glanced at the suitcases of her friends, which reminded her that soon everyone would be leaving for Christmas Break. She had sent an owl to her parents telling them she was going to stay at the school. Now she was wondering if that was a wise decision.
~~**~~
Severus sat in the Great Hall, watching students come down the stairs, suitcases packed and dressed in heavy cloaks. He was one of the few that were staying, there was no way he was going to be shipped off to stay at a relatives'.
He sighed, at least Lily was staying. The girl had kept her promise. She didn't leave Severus after she found out about the hideous act he committed. In fact it was just the opposite. She seemed to spend even more time with him, walking hand in hand with him in the hallways and meeting him in the library when they had free time.
Their relationship was growing. Severus wasn't sure if this was a good or a bad thing. He was getting more comfortable around her and didn't mind as much when she touched him. Touching never meant good things for Severus. His mother only touched him when she was going to smack him around and tell him that he was absolutely nothing but problems. Oh the Gryffindor idiots Black and Potter would push him down the stairs or casually knock the books out of his hand. However Lily's touch was different, gentle and soothing.
"Hey Sev!" said a bright and chipper voice behind him. Severus turned to see Lily. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders from behind and she pressed her lips to his ear in a playful kiss.
"Aren't we up early?" he said, sliding out the seat next to him. Lily sat down and poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice.
"I can't wait to give you your present tomorrow." she said happily.
"Present?" he asked. Well that was something new. Nobody had ever bothered to get him a present before.
"Yeah, present. As in Christmas present." Lily said, smiling.
"You didn't have to get me anything you know. Nobody ever bothered to before, I'm used to it." Severus told her. Lily pursed her lips.
"Well I wanted to." she said. How unhappy must his childhood have been if he never even got a present from anyone?
"So, we have the whole week to ourselves. What do you want to do?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Oh I plan on relaxing and enjoying this to the fullest. No roommates, no teachers, no annoying people asking questions. Just you and me." she said, slipping her arm around his shoulders.
"Oh dear gods, this is going to kill me." he joked, receiving a playful punch from his girl.

"And this is my section of the room. This is my bed, that's my desk, and that's my closet." Lily said, pointing out her corner of the dorm room. Since none of her roommates had stayed, Lily didn't see a problem with bringing Severus in and showing him around. Sure, they'd probably catch hell if Minerva caught them, but that just added excitement to the ordeal.
The room gave off a cozy vibe with it's light wooden walls and it's fireplace blazing warmly. The room smelled of cinnamon and smoke. There were four beds set in the room and around each sat four different atmospheres. Lily's gave off uncluttered warmth.
"Nice." Severus said, running his hand over the maroon and gold comforter with the Gryffindor lion, strewn across Lily's bed.
"Do you like that?" Lily asked.
"Yeah. Who made it for you?"
"I stitched it myself, in my first year. It took me almost four months to finish it." Severus looked at her awed.
"You have real talent Lily, this is great! It must be really warm." he said. She just nodded and smiled. Severus' eyes wandered over the rest of her belongings. Her closet was open and her robes and clothes hung neatly, the rest of her belongings were placed on the floor or in drawers
On her desk sat three pictures in silver frames. One was of an older couple, obviously her parents. Another was a moving picture of Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter at Hogsmeade. The third held a picture of Lily with her arm around a girl about her age with sandy brown hair and blue eyes. It was taken with a muggle camera because it wasn't moving.
"Who's that?" Severus asked, pointing to the picture. Lily looked at the picture and smiled.
"My best friend Josie. She lives in Stratford. We've been friends since first grade." she answered, laying down on the bed. Severus stood watching her awkwardly for a moment.
"You don't have to stand there you know, you can come lay down here. I won't bite too hard, promise." Lily said, patting the space next to her. Severus smiled and laid down next to her, looking up at the red curtains, pulled up to the top of the canopy bed..
"That's not fair, we don't get curtains and your beds are a lot nicer than ours." he said, with mock envy. Lily laughed and pulled on one of the tassels. The curtains fell, surrounding the entire bed in maroon velvet.
"Nice trick." Severus said, giving Lily a seductive half smile that made her heart melt. She flipped over so that she was lying on top of him, playfully pining his sides with her knees and kissed him.
"You know, you still haven't showed me your dorm." Lily mumbled into his mouth.
"You wouldn't like it. It's all dreary and dark like we evil Slytherins. Nothing like your warm toasty little atmosphere." he said. Lily laughed and rolled off him.
"I think I'm going to take a little nap." Lily said, stretching and rolling onto her side, facing Severus.
"Want me to leave?" Severus asked. Lily smiled and ruffled his hair.
"You can stay if you like. As long as you don't go poking around my room looking for your present" she said, shutting her eyes. Severus smiled at how trusting she was, allowing him to stay in her bed while she slept.
"Thank you." he whispered into her ear before wrapping his arm around her and closing his eyes as well.

The rest of the day was spent much to same way. The two of them lazily spending time together. Severus had finally gave in and brought Lily into the Slytherin boys dorm.
"You're right it is boring and depressing." She said. There was no fireplace. Just stone walls and mohagony beds all draped with green and white blankets. A large picture of Salazar Slytherin hung on the wall next to a picture of a large snake. "Which bed is yours?" she asked. Severus led her over to the bed in the far corner. His desk was littered with schoolbooks and parchment. He had no pictures on his desk and his closet was uncluttered, containing only his robes and various other things. A midnight black owl sat perched on top of his cage on the side of Severus' bed.
"That's Colie. I got him my first year." Severus said, leaning down and letting Colie climb onto his arm. "Usually I have to keep him in the cage or in the owlery so Lucius' hellcat doesn't eat him. Lily snorted with laughter.
"Lucius has a cat?"
"Oh it's the most evil thing you will ever see. We call it the hellcat or Satan's minion. He likes to jump on your face while your sleeping." he explained. Lily laughed and stroked Colie's crest with her index finger.
"He's beautiful." She said.
"Wanna take him out and let him fly around?" Severus asked, letting the owl climb on Lily's outstretched arm.
"I'd love to." Severus pulled a cloak out of his closet and draped it around her shoulders for her. It was much to big on her and fell loosely around her. The two made their way out to the courtyard, covered with freshly fallen ice and slow. Lily let Colie fly off her arm and watched him fly around over head, happy to be able to spread his wings.
"This is great." She said, squeezing Severus arm.
"Yeah it is. And we have the whole week all to ourselves." Severus said playfully messing up Lily's hair and pushing her back into a pile of snow. "Aren't you lucky."
Lily lay awake in bed, watching the sleet crash down in heavy sheets outside her window. It was cold that night and she was curled up under her thick blanket, pulling it right up below her chin. Depressing and dreary, almost exactly like her mood. Death Eater. She hated the word. Yet it was a part of Severus and she loved him. A mudblood and a death eater.
