Hey guys!!! So how're all of you? Sorry I haven't been updating regularly,
but I've been really busy, and a little too depressed to write with the
lack of sufficient reviews I've been receiving (hint hint! =Þ) Anyways,
I'll do better in the future, hope you like this new chapter! Things are
starting to come together (or will come together in the next couple of
chapters.) Enjoy! Chelsea_______________________________________
Lily looked up at the dripping cauldron. The explosion had knocked everyone off their feet, and various students and projects were strewn across the room. The professor looked furious.
"POTTER, BLACK, LUPIN, MALFOY, and SNAPE DETENTION!" She sat up, glaring at the boys with as much anger as she could muster. Lily started to pick herself up, feeling slightly dizzy from the potion, but had to sit down again, and close her eyes. She had been hit the hardest out of the entire class, along with Severus, who was brewing the potion.
The professor was bustling around muttering under her breath, cursing the marauders and their antics. "Ok class," she surveyed they damage...it was pretty bad..., "clean this mess up now. Those of you who have been hit with the potion, I doubt it was even brewed correctly, so I am not concerned with any affects it may have. If any, it will wear off soon enough. Class dismissed." She sighed, turned and stalked off, grateful that she didn't have to stay.
Lily was still sitting in her seat with her eyes closed. Her acute senses were picking up everything from the smell of the potion, to the perfume the professor wore, to the lycanthropy drifting off of Remus. She was going to be sick.
While Remus had begun to clean the potion up, Snape and Malfoy looked at their ruined potion, along with their sure-to-be failing grade. They turned to glare at James and Sirius. They didn't seem to mind, as they openly laughed in their faces, until Remus looked up and shushed them. As the tension grew, the Slytherins nodded to each other, both exhibiting the same determined expressions. Malfoy took a step froward, his hands clinched-
"Guys, I don't feel to great" Lily muttered, her eyes still shut. All 5 boys turned to look at her, just realizing she was there. The smiles were wiped off the Marauder's faces, and Mafloy's and Snape's expressions faded. Lily was in a bad way. "Guys-"
Snape was the first over to her side, lifting her gently up into his arms, placing her head on his chest. He seemed surprised at himself, and blushed at the stares the other 4 gave him. "Hospital wing," he commented gruffly, before walking quickly out, leaving the rest of the class in shock. He just wanted to help Lily, nothing more. Or so he thought, until Lily passed out.
************************
Out in the hall, he couldn't help but smile at the lovely girl in his arms, completely unaware of her current situation. The five minute walk to the hospital wing was taking a while, slowed down by his precious cargo. But he didn't mind, there was just something about her...
************************
Lily awoke with a smile. She sighed, feeling the warmth of someone close by, but didn't realize her situation until she opened her eyes.
"Severus?" She asked, squinting her eyes in the bright light of the hallway. Severus stopped mid-stride, almost dropping her.
"Um, Lily? Are you all right?" he asked, avoiding her eyes.
"What happened?"
"You passed out, so I was taking you to the Hospital Wing." He mumbled, completely conscious of the blush spreading over his pale, gaunt features. He continued to watch the ground as seconds ticked by. When he dared to look up, Lily was beaming at him. He smiled modestly, before being enveloped in a giant hug. Lily held him close, smelling his cologne, a habit she had acquired. She would always remember what he smelled like.
The broke apart, blushing furiously. Lily smiled again at him, and then took his hand shyly. "Come on, we're going to be late to Divination, Severus," she said his name, rolling the vowels around on her tongue. She could definitely get used to that name. They turned and walked slowly, her hand lingering in his.
