"Don't worry James, I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself." Lily glared at him, it wasn't his business who she became friends with. None of his at all. The boys across the table smirked openly at the Marauders, but she didn't notice. Remus sighed.
"Lily, this is Snape and Malfoy. Malfoy, Snape, this is Lily Evans." Lily smiled at Remus, then at the two across the table. They seemed nice enough, and she didn't understand the Marauders dislike of them. She held out her hand, which Malfoy shook confidently. He was tall and pale, slightly reminiscent of the statues of ancient Greek heroes. His hands were strong, and his handshake felt safe and steady. He smiled at her, showing a row of pearly white teeth.
"Enchanted, really. You must call me Lucius," he said. His voice was rich yet gruff, and held a slight musical note.
Across the table, James couldn't believe the slimy tone in which Malfoy was using with Lily. Even more, he couldn't believe she was falling for it. He started to blink a bit, and was nudged by Sirius when the handshake lasted a little longer than it should have.
Lily felt a little uncomfortable under Lucius's gaze, as it assessed her. She seemed to pass inspection, however, as Lucius had nodded discreetly towards Snape. Snape also shook her hand, his long fingers entwining about her own, his hands long and lithe. She smiled more warmly, her eyes dancing. He played piano, she could feel it in the tips of his fingers. She always had had a special talent for music, and could read it in his aura, tainted with a lust for something that she couldn't quite identify. These two were certainly going to entice her. She could tell they had dark pasts, maybe even similar to her own. She didn't pause to think that perhaps they invited that danger.
The class continued on, with Lily frowning at everything around her. The concept of magic was foreign to her, and she didn't understand her abilities, with or without her wand. She remained silent however, determined to gain knowledge on her own.
About 10 minutes later, Snape was standing over his perfectly simmering potion, a dark red mist rising from it into his face, which smelled sweetly of roses. The potion was actually made of blood and fresh fallen snow, the Deceptivus potion, a potion made for deception and bewitching people.
"Excuse me, I have to go talk to the professor about my latest potions paper, and the grade she gave me, I'll be right back. Don't add anything until I return, just let it simmer." He told Lily and the rest of the group (as he was the only one who really understood what they had to do), before turning swiftly to stride over to the teacher's desk. James nudges Sirius, and picked a small vial up off the desk.
"Guys, don't." Lily said softly, a small warning in her voice. "Seriously, you'll get in trouble." James turned toward her with a bored expression.
"But Lily-dearest-"
"Don't ever call me that again." Lily said in a deadpan voice as she rolled her eyes.
"Lily, Where would all the fun be in that?"
"Eeearrrrrgh, heaven forbid you're serious for one moment."
"Oh, but Lily-dearest," Lily glared at him, "You see, I'm not serious, I don't look anything like him!" James smiled juvenially.
" Just don't, ok?" Lily pleaded, sighing loudly. James sighed in response and did a Boy Scout salute, nodding his head. Across the dungeon Snape motioned for her to come over. Lily glared at James to get her point across and walked slowly, hoping that she wasn't in trouble.
The professor was sitting at her desk, Snape's paper in her hand. She looked sternly at Lily. "Miss Evans, Snape's thesis here tries to state that with magic comes knowledge and understanding, and that with the proper techniques, one can learn indefinitely. As I am highly skeptical to this theory, I was hoping he could create some experiment to prove this." She stopped and looked expectantly at Lily. Lily looked back at her slightly confused.
"Well, what exactly does that have to do with me professor?" She asked, shooting a glance at Severus, who blushed slighly.
"Well, I was wondering, since you have no real magical knowledge, if you would let Mr. Snape here tutor you for a couple of weeks to give his theory backing." She stated simply. Lily looked at Severus, unsure of what that meant, but after a agreed after seeing how sweetly nervous he was.
She smiled silently at him, and he at her, as they headed back toward their group. Lily caught his hand and squeezed it, right before they joined their peers. James, Sirius, and Remus were all snickering to themselves, probably caught up in one of their own little jokes. Lucius was nowhere to be found.
"Ok," Snape continued "now all we have to do is add the powdered unicorn horn, and it should be done." Lily realized her mistake one second too late, as James and Sirius's eyes lit up. She shouldn't have left them alone with the potion.
"NO SEVERUS, DON"T!" She cried, as he added the last ingredient, James, Sirius, and Remus ducked, and the potion exploded.
