A/N: Thank you for all the reviews! I love you lots! I'm SO happy!!

Okay, in chapter 17 when I wrote that I didn't get a single review, my bad. I got some reviews. Sorry. I just wrote that before I saw the reviews. Very, very sorry. Anyway, just want to add that you see what you readers/reviewers mean to me? Don't review and you'll break my heart!

Before I begin, I would like to warn you guys that this chapter would have to be PG-13. Nothing serious though. Only a bit of…well…I don't want to spoil it, but it does not go into much graphic details.

Chapter 18

The next day, James and Lily were having breakfast with their friends at the Gryffindors' table. Then, as part one of her plan, Jenny Johnston came over and distracted everyone by flirting openly to James in front of him and Lily.

"Hi, James…" she began in her sickening voice.

"What do you want, Jenny?" he asked in a terribly annoyed way.

"I was just wondering why you are still hanging with Evans--" and she shot Lily a really nasty look right then and Lily she looked away. "--I mean, why don't you come join me and my friends at our table?"

"Listen, Johnston," said Bella, with a very angry expression. "I've had it up to here with you! You just can't admit it that James is with Lily. So you try everything to break them apart. But that'll never work. So you had better step before I make it too late for your sorry ass to run."

While everybody was occupied with watching Bella arguing with Jenny, Snape sneaked over and completed part two. He slipped some potion he had created last night into Lily's pumpkin juice. It should be a couple of hours before it sink in. He crept back to his seat at the Slytherins' table.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After classes that day, James and Lily were walking down the corridors together, hand-in-hand. Then, James suddenly remembers that there will be a Quidditch match this Saturday and needed to train his team.

"Oh! Lily, I need a team practice today," he said.

"Okay. You go ahead," she said, smiling a bit.

"Do you want to come watch?"

"Normally I would, but today I'm not feeling very well." (a/n: the potion's kicking in).

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah…yeah, I'm fine. Just a bit tired. Sorry I can't make it to see you train."

"It's okay, Lily. Why don't you go back to your room and get some rest? You'll feel better by the time I'm back from practice."

"Okay. See you later, James."

"'Bye," he said. And with that, he was off towards practice.

Snape was watching them all along. As James left, he followed Lily down another corridor, this one very empty. He watched as she swayed while walking, dazed from the potion. Finally, he saw Lily walked pass a closet, where old brooms were stored. He crept up behind her quietly and grabbed her, pulling her into the closet. Lily, now that the potion had taken full effect, couldn't move. Her body was just too tired to response to her brain. She was also too weak to scream or yell. So she just watched as somebody pulled her into the closet. That person had his back turned to her so she couldn't tell who it was. Her vision was kind of blurry. Finally, after that person finished taking off his clothes, he turned around to revealed clearly to Lily that he was Snape, only dressed in his boxers. Lily was shocked.

"Severus?! What are you doing?"

"Listen Lily," he said, crouching down on her. "I'm only doing this because I really, really like you. Besides, James is only playing you. I can give you so much more!"

"James is NOT playing with me! He loves me. And I love him. And if you really like me then you wouldn't want to do anything to hurt me, right? So please, please Severus…Please let me go."

"Sorry, Lily. You'll understand later." And he began to take her robes off.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, at the exact moment when Lily was dragged into the closet, James was at Quidditch practice. He felt someone watching him from the stadium. He turned to look, hoping to see Lily, but found Jenny Johnston instead.

"James! James!" she called to him.

James knew that she would only cause trouble, but thought that it would be quite rude to ignore her. Besides, practice was going very well, and, well, what hurt will it do just to see what she wants? So he excused himself from his team and went over to Jenny.

"What do you want?" he asked.

Jenny said, "Well, I want to know if you want to go with me to the next Hogsmeade trip? Or better yet--the astronomy tower? Like, maybe tonight?"

"You just don't get it, do you? I'm with Lily. And I love her very much."

"But why would you want to be with somebody who had lost her virginity?" Evidently, she thought that Snape was already done with the third part of the plan.

James, who had never hurt a girl (well, physically) before, suddenly grabbed Jenny hard by the wrist and asked very sharply, "What do you mean by that?"

Jenny had never seen this side of James before and was kind of scared. "N-nothing!"

"Tell me what you meant by that!" He was really hurting her wrist now.

"W-well…I s-sort of…h-had this p-plan…"

"What plan?!"

"I…er...I t-told Snape to…well…you know…"

"Where are they??"

"W-well…I assume t-that they are p-probably in that c-closet b-by your dorm…at l-least that's where I t-told him to t-take her…" (a/n: stupid, eh?)

"I'll deal with you later," James said angrily, as he let go of her now-very-red wrist and ran towards the castle.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Back with Snape and Lily.

Snape manage to get Lily's robes off. He lies on top of her and slipped his hands under her skirt. Then started to rub his cold hands against her warm, slender legs, while placing his mouth onto hers before she tried to yell (not that she could). Tears were streaming down Lily's cheek. Snape tried to pry her mouth open, and when he succeeded, he slipped he tongue into it and started to explore her mouth. Then he moved his hands up to the collar of her blouse and began to unbutton it.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

James was running down the corridors as fast as he could. *Please don't let anything happed to Lily* he thought. *Please!*

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Snape was about to tear Lily's blouse off, when James busted open the closet door. He pulled Snape off of Lily and punches him in the face. Then he stunned him. He threw Lily's robes over her unbuttoned blouse. James pulled her to her feet.

"Lily, are you okay? Did that bloody prat did anything to you?"

"Oh James!" Lily cried, though barely above a whisper for the potion had yet ware off, as she limply fell into his chest. "I'm so glad to see you!"

"Me too…are you okay though? Did he do anything to you??"

"No…I'm fine…He didn't do anything yet… "

James turned to Snape, revived him, and said, "I will definitely tell Dumbledore about this--"

"No!" Lily interrupted, not very loudly though. She was still weary from the potion. "Please don't James…I just want to forget that this ever happened, okay? Please?"

James hesitated, but turned back to Snape and said, "Okay, I won't tell Dumbledore about this. But if you lay one bloody hand on her, Snape, I swear I'll get you expelled, not to mention hexing you into your afterlife…that is, if you're going to have one." And he led Lily out the closet. She can barely walk though.

"Do you want me to carry you?" he asked.

Lily nodded and James carried her all the way to her room (which wasn't very far away). He opened the door and saw Bella sitting on her bed doing some homework. She jumped up when she saw James and Lily.

"Oh my gosh! What happened??"

"Lily can tell you," James said, settling Lily onto her bed. "Erm, Bella, can you…you know, properly dress Lily up? I'll be waiting outside." Apparently, Lily's blouse was still unbuttoned, with her robes just carelessly thrown over it. James left the room.

"Lily, what happened?? Why are your clothes like that? Why can't you button it up yourself? What happened??"

"Bella, can you just help me with my blouse first?"

"Okay," and she did.

"The reason why I can't do it myself, is because Severus Snape gave me a potion sometime today. I'm not sure when. Anyway, James and I were walking down the corridor and James remembered that he had Quidditch practice. So we parted and I was sort of dizzy walking down the corridor alone. And then somebody came from behind and grabbed me and pulled me into a closet. And it was Snape and he well…you know…" Lily was crying again.

"No! He couldn't have! Did he?"

"Well, he did, but James came and pulled him off before anything really happened. How James knew, however, I do not know. I'm just glad that he came."

"Oh...poor you. Come here," Bella said, as she pulled Lily into a hug.

"Thanks, Bella…can you promise me one thing though? Please don't tell Sirius and them. I really don't want anybody to know about this…and, well, you know Sirius…. If he finds out, I just can't imagine what he'll do to Severus."

"Well he deserves it…but okay. I promise."

"Thanks…"

A/N: Pretty long chapter…I was a bit uncomfortable with writing this chapter, but it turned out okay, right? Please review and tell me what you think. Thanks! By the way, sorry for making Snape seems like such a jerk in this chapter (this is mostly for Snape-likers). But remember, Snape isn't really that bad…. He's just doing this because he listened to Jenny Johnston and thought that James was playing Lily…Anyway, sorry if you guys dislike this chapter.
