Chapter 2-Severed ties

When severus and lily finally reached their classroom, a little gasp of surprise floated through the room, people obviously surprised to see them together. Amanda walked in, said good-bye quietly to severus and went off the join her friends. They simply stared at her, shocked and appalled to see her in the company of someone so.so.unlikable.

"Lily, WHAT were you doing with HIM?" one of them asked.

She flushed and spoke again, quiet as a mouse.

"He was just being nice, it was nothing!"

A little snort of disbelief went through the group, and lily slid down into her seat, praying that class would start soon. She glanced over at James, trying to catch his eye and engage him in a friendly smile, but he never looked at her. Lily tried to be casual at first, but the fact that he paid no attention bothered her. Finally, Professor Mclintok came into the room and class started. Lily pulled out her wand and notes out and gave up focusing on anything but her class.

Severus Pov

I glanced over at her several times, trying to catch her eye and smile, but she was too busy with potter to care about me. Severus clenched his fists, feeling angry with lily for the first time ever. All she ever did was pine away for James, who was too much of a dipstick to notice her. This made him angry with James too. How could a guy with a girlfriend as great as Lily not pay any attention to her? He didn't glance in her direction once, ever since they had entered class. Severus resolved to split those two up. They weren't right for each other. Lily deserved someone who could love her, and someone who focused more on her then himself. She needed someone like.him. This last thought gave severus chills and he glanced coldly and menacingly in James's direction.

Lily POV

My head felt heavy as I copied my notes. We had already taken up more three pages and my hand was cramped. Sometimes, when I hope that the teacher wasn't looking, I would mutter a quick spell to copy my notes for me. Sometimes though, I just did them manually. My eyes started burning and getting all watery. I blinked, realizing just how tired I really was. I had gotten up at 6:00 to watch the sunrise. Once I had told James that I liked to do this and he laughed at me. He told me not to exhaust myself. But James just didn't understand the real reason why I woke up. I loved the quiet, serene beauty of the sunrise and the morning. I could just relax before the day started, and not worry about all the other pressures of life. This was my own time, where life just came to a standstill. For once, things could be perfect.

James POV

All through transfiguration I could feel her questioning glances. Some of them were even hopeful. I felt kind of bad about this, and the familiar feelings of guilt swept over me. She was constantly staring. Since she and I had started dating this year, Lily had become especially clingy, and almost desperate. She was everywhere, her wide green eyes watching. She was constantly watching. I love lily, I really do, but I just can't see us dating any longer, let alone getting married and having kids. So I breathed in and out, and when the class finally ended, I stood and walked toward Lily, prepared to end our relationship.

Lily POV

Oh god. He started walking towards me. I looked down and started gathering my books, pretending not to notice him. I was constantly pretending. Finally I saw the familiar leather shoes he wore for school and slowly looked up, letting my hair fall around my face in a (hopefully) seductive manner. Shyly, I smiled as he spoke:

"hey lily."

"hi james."

He looked nervous and started fidgeting around.

"Lily, can we.uh.can we talk?"

My heart stopped. I felt like I was watching the entire scene unfold from another place. That wasn't really me, nodding my head.It couldn't be happening.

"Ok. Um. Look. I just don't think that it is a good idea for us to see each other anymore. As a couple. B-But we can still be friends. Right?" He spoke quietly and quickly, then left me to answer.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to kick him. But despite all of the things that I wanted to do, all I did was nod.

"ok."

And that was it. I walked away quickly, blinking back the tears that started flowing as fast as I was moving.
