Snape dropped the curtains around his bed and began to sob. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed, and what made it so much worse was that it was his arch enemy, James, and Lily knew how much she disliked him. In fact, she had claimed to detest him also, but Snape didn't care anymore. If he had hated himself before, it was beyond that now. The girl that he had adored had made a fool of him and he wanted no more to do with her.
Lily paced uncontrollably, Rubeus unable to console her. She wanted to talk to Severus straight away but there was no way she'd be able to to get into the Slytherin common room.
"Calm down, Lily", Hagrid soothed, "He'll undetstan' when yer explain it to 'im".
Lily didn't care. It then hit her like a bolt of lightning and she ran down the steps, out of the Gryffindor common room, with Hagrid shouting after her "Where yer goin' lily?"
She ran until she got to the owlery, scrambled round for some parchment and a quill and when she found them wrote, "Severus, it wasn't what you thought. Please let me explain, you mean everything to me, forever yours, Lily x". She sent it off and retreated down-heartedly to her room, twitching at any noise resembling an owl returning with a reply. For weeks, she pined for Severus but no reply ever came. No amount of consoling helped and when the hurt turned into anger, there was only one person to blame.
"How could you, James Potter? You said you cared about me but people don't people they care about, do they?" Lily shouted
James, for the first time, realised the damage he had done.
"I couldn't help it, Lily, I just liked you so much and to see you with him was killing me. It was like you ripped my heart out and stamped on it!" Lily realised for the first time that what she was feeling was much how James must have felt all those weeks ago, but he had dealt with it in the wrong way.
"James, how would you like to come with me to Hogsmede next time?" Lily asked softly.
