SORRY SEVERUS
Watching the Gryffindor tower fill with returning students, Aggy, James, Lily and Remus groaned at the seventh year prefect who was telling them it was their job to get the first years organised and down to the Great hall in time for dinner.
Dividing into pairs they rounded up the excited students and herded them into their respective dorms, not known for her patience Aggy finally lost it.
Pulling out her wand she sent a stream of golden sparks into the air "RIGHT YOU LOT…SHUT UP AND GET UNPACKED NOW" she bellowed at the now terrified first year girls.
Lily was leaning back against the door laughing at her frustrated and angry friend and wondering how she had been made a prefect.
Moving over to Lily Aggy was glowing, "This job drives me mad…no wonder the seventh years make us do it!" but the only reply she got was a chuckle and a "Calm down Aggy"
Turning back to look into the room both girls were pleased to see a row of first years with their entire luggage now unpacked.
Lily smiled at then "Well done …Now down to the great hall"
Watching there charges quietly file past, Lily and Aggy caught a glimpse of the boy's dorm. "Come on lets go and help them or we will be here all night" Lily said and they pushed the door to the first year boy's dorm open. Laughing at the chaos inside Lily bowed slightly to Aggy and said "I'll leave it to you…shall I"
Rolling her eyes Aggy marched in and in seconds a repeat of the girls dorm was in progress. James and Remus joined Lily by the doorway.
It wasn't long before the four prefects were on their way to the great hall for dinner.
Laughing Remus holding Aggy's hand said, "You are really scary sometimes…did you know that?"
"And don't you forget it" and she grinned at him wickedly. Giving Lily a quick look the two girls shoved their boyfriends and ran off down the corridor. Bursting through the doors to the Great hall Lily and Aggy came to abrupt halt and started to walk calmly over to their waiting friends. Suppressing giggles as Remus and James clattered into the hall. As James and Remus caught up to them the girls received slaps on their bottoms as the boys walked passed them and sat down.
With serene smiles on their faces Lily and Aggy took their seats and in unison kissed their boyfriends delicately on the cheek and then nipped them hard on the arm. Causing the little band of friends to roar with laughter.
As they all calmed down Marie picked up a small package and handed it to Lily "This was left on the table for you?"
Lily took it off her and said, "Who left it?" as she looked at the beautifully wrapped gift.
Marie said "Don't know it was already here when we sat down…Looks like you have a secret admirer" and raised her eyebrows at her friend.
As she was un-wrapping the gift "Don't be stupid…everyone knows I'm going out with James" but Lily felt a twinge in her stomach as she saw the small silver box with an emerald L carved into the top. Lifting the lid she saw a note inside.
Dear Lily
I hope you had a Merry Christmas.
Love
Severus
Still holding the note Lily covered her face, as much as she had hated Snape, she was touched by the gift. He didn't know she had only gone on to the Christmas ball with him to get back at James.
"Lily come on…who is it from?" It was Aggy; unable to tell them she twitched the note for Aggy to take it. Reading it Aggy immediately understood why Lily was shocked.
"Well…Who's it from?" James was now getting a little irritated
Aggy nudged Lily and Lily looked up "Severus Snape". Regaining her sense Lily grabbed hold of James's arm "James leave it…I will sort it out"
But James gave her a confused look "I don't understand…Why is Snape sending you presents?…And why do you look so sad about it?"
Rolling her eyes Annie said "James don't be dense…think…when was the last time Snape saw Lily?"
Noticing that he still looked confused Lily muttered "Christmas ball…he was my date". Sneaking a look over to the Slytherin table she spotted Snape, he was staring down at his plate "Oh shit…this is crap"
Finally catching on James said "Lily what are you going on about…It's just Snape"
Shaking her head "This is the worst thing I have ever done…He thought it was a real date" looking up at the ceiling "he's not that bad…Honestly…At the ball he was kind and sweet…Not even Snape deserves this".
At that moment the food arrived and attention was diverted from the topic of Snape. As dinner came to an end Lily decided that she had to sort this out tonight and she kept her eye on the Slytherin's. Watching for Snape to leave the Great hall Lily said to the others "I'm just going to go and deal with this" and she waved the box at them.
"I'll come with you?" James said
"No…Give me 10 minutes and then I'll meet you outside...ok" she said and he nodded.
She went through the door a couple of seconds after Snape.
"Severus could I speak to you please" she said as she came along side him
"No need…I see that you and James have made up?" he said without looking at her but as Lily moved to give him the gift back "No please keep it…I had it made for you"
"Severus please let me explain" and she took hold of his arm to stop him walking away "I admit that I accepted the date with you to get back at James"
"Seeing you tonight…I thought as much" and he shrugged "Foolish of me to think other wise really"
Horrified by the hurt look Lily said "It's not foolish…I'm sorry…I never intended for you to be hurt" and she moved so that she was holding his hand "I really am sorry…You were sweet and kind to me at the ball, a perfect gentleman"
"Thank you" was all he could manage
"Severus…I'm sorry" and she let go of his hand and watched him head towards the dungeons.
A few seconds later James was beside her and putting his arms around her "You ok?"
Resting against him she said "Yes" and they walked back to the Gryffindor tower together.
