As the two crossed the lake on the broom, Severus grinned down at something
in the water.
"I wouldn't look down if I were you, unless you like calamari..."Naturally, Lily looked down. A large eyeball peered up at her. The giant squid was sunning itself again, and wasn't pleased with their blocking the sun. After a few more seconds of flying, they reached a thick grove of trees. Severus pushed some of the foilage out of the way, then flew inside. He landed the broom and Lily hopped off, looking around at the small clearing.
"No one knows this is here. They all think its part of the Forbidden Forest."Severus leaned the broom against a tree. He then spread his arms and tilted his head to the sky with a soft cackle. "This is my domain. my little piece of this world. Now yours as well. Just never bring another soul here. I know I can trust you, Lily. Don't let me lose that trust."Lily nodded.
"I won't."Was all she said, still looking around. Severus then walked over to a hollowed out log, where an assortment of books were kept.
"My library. Only Dickens, Shakespear, Poe and other true greats live here."He then tapped on a knot on a tree and a sack of sugar quills, chocolate frogs and other candies fell out. "And finally, my kitchen."He smiled at her. "What do you think?"
"It's nice. I promise I won't bring anyone here."
"Thank you."He plopped down beside the log, leaning against a tree. Lily walked over and sat down next to him. "Tell me, are things in Gryffindor similar to how they are in Slytherin, with the bitter hatred for us and those who speak with us? Sirius doesn't seem to enjoy it, but he never has liked me."
"Yes, but I've never been up there on the popularity scale. Most of them already hate me because of James."Lily frowned a bit.
"What about him?"
"The girls hate me because he won't pay attention to them, and the guys hate me because if they even say hello to me in his presence they get hexed."She sighed. "Basically, then don't like that he's posessive of me."
"Are you two...?"
"No."Lily quickly interrupted. "He's asked me plenty of times, but I can't stand him."Severus chuckled softly.
"Then tell the bugger to back off. Either that, or find another guy to be your boyfriend and have him do it for you."
"They're all too afraid of James and Sirius."She leaned against the tree, folding her arms. "I just ignore him anymore."
"Cowards. Even after all the beatings I take from those two, I still wouldn't be afraid to take even more for something I truely wanted...He shouldn't be bothering you."Lily shrugged, closing her eyes halfway.
"It's not that big of a deal."
A sudden smile crossed Severus's face and he flipped open one of the Shakespear books, then paused on a page, took out his wand and muttered 'Orchideous' under his breath. A large pearly white lily appeared on the page.
"A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, but to call a lily anything but that should do the beautiful flower injustice for it already has the name spoked by joyous angels in their prime and may those who also share the flower's calling stay beautiful and wise forever and ever, amen."She smirked softly, twisting Shakespears words with Scripture and his own. Lily smiled, her eyes stuck on the flower. 'What do I say to that?'She thought to herself, still smiling though.
Sirius, who had followed them at a distance sat just inside the shadows of the trees behind Snape. He was already boiling with anger, and at Severus's words and Lily's reaction, he snapped. Throwing himself out of the brush, he grabbed Snape's neck, squeezing hard. His other hand held his wand which was pointed at the side of Severus's head. He was yelling every hex that came to mind. Lily jumped to her feet and pointed her own wand at Sirius.
"Expeliarmous!"She yelled, then caught his wand in her hand. "What in bloody hell are you doing, Sirius!?"She demanded, glaring down at him. Severus had passed out from all of the curses taking direct contact to his head, and Sirius tossed him aside, standing to face Lily.
"WHAT AM **I** DOING?!"Sirius roard. "I heard everything, Evans! And you really are a traitor! You flew on the back of Snape's broom, dismounted in this cozy little spot, then made googoo eyes with him, while James is probably up at the castle thinking about you!"
"It's not my fault he won't get over the fact that I dont love him!"Lily yelled, pocketing both wands. "And I WON'T like him until he stops being and overbearing jerk who thinks I belong to him!"Her voice rose a few octaves on the last four words, and a few birds flew out of their trees.
Severus stirred from the screaming. He was in more pain than he'd ever been in but semi-awake.
"AND SNAPE ISN'T AN OVERBEARING JERK!? You would've killed James if he said any of that stuff, would've refused if he offered you a ride on his broom! You just feel sorry for Snape, and your leading him on! You're worse than your sister, Evans!"Lily paled at his last sentance.
"I am not..."She staggared a bit, putting a hand on a tree to steady herself.Severus managed to roll over and heave himself to his feet. He growled at Sirius with a venomous hatred.
"You leave her alone, Black."
"Sirius, how could you say that t-"
"SHE DESERVED IT!"Sirius roared at Keaini, who was standing a few feet away. Lily looked about ready to collapse.
"I am not..."She repeated. Keaini stepped forward, seized Sirius's collar and threw him backwards to the ground, pointing her wand at his chest.
"Tell her your sorry."Keaini growled, icy blue eyes blazing.
"No."He glared back at her. "I don't care. Expect a whole lot of hexes Evans. I won't forgive you so easily this time."He shifted his glare from Lily, to look up at Keaini. "Go ahead and hex me. You too, Snivellus. I don't bloody care."Lily reached out and pushed Keaini towards the entrance.
"No Keaini, dont get caught up in this."She muttered.Keaini sighed.
"You need my help, Lily."At that moment, Severus grabbed Sirius's neck and gripped it in a death white lock. Sirius let a cold smirk flit across his face.
"Go ahead, I want to see you in Azkaban."He growled. Keaini let go of Lily and launched herself at Severus, knocking him away from Sirius. Punching him once in the face, she pinned him down. Growling, Severus jerked his head to the side and bit down on Keaini's arm. Wincing, Keaini let go. Sirius grabbed hold of Snape's hair and jerked his head back, then kicked the back of his knees. Lily finally snapped back to reality and ran towards Sirius, driving her fist into his stomach and sending him to the ground on his back again. He swiped his leg around and swept Lily's feet out from under her. Giving a surprised squeek, Lily fell, managing to slam her fist into his stomach again.
"Lily!"Severus knelt by Lily with a protective hiss. His jagged nails twitched patiently, waiting for either of them to try. "You two....out..."He snarled. Sirius jumped to his feet, raising his fists in a fighting stance.
"Get real Snivellus."He snapped.
"Sirius come on, lets go."Keaini put her hand on his arm.
"No."Sirius shook her off.
"Lily, go, I dont want you hurt."Severus hissed to her.
"It's my fault they're here."She stood up, wincing. "Just leave, Sirius."Lily called across the clearing.
"No!"
"WHY?! YOUR JUST PICKING FIGHTS BECAUSE YOU CAN!"Lily screamed with a shocking volume for her petite frame.
"Because...Because..."Sirius paused. "Because James loves you and I don't want to see him collapse if you date Snape."Severus lowered his head.
"Then perhaps we should try putting what she wants first."He hissed.
"I already told you, Sirius. I don't love James back, and I don't belong to him. I can do whatever I want and I can talk to whoever I want."Lilys voice was barely audible, as her throat ached from yelling.
"Alright Evans. Can I at least have my wand back?"He held out his hand. Lily merely looked at it.
"Leave first."She demanded. Rolling his eyes, Sirius stalked out of the clearing. Lily handed Keaini his wand as she followed him. Keaini nodded at Lily, then continued after Sirius.
