She was wearing her uniform shoes. They were black leather with a strap across them. He was pretty sure they were slip-ons.

She was wearing her uniform calf-high socks. They were grey with gold and red stripes at the top.

She was wearing her uniform skirt. It was grey with pleats that just grazed her knees.

She was wearing her uniform blouse. It was a crisp white, which was tucked into her skirt.

She was wearing her uniform sweater vest. That too, was grey. It was made of wool and had red and gold striped trimming.

She was wearing her uniform robe. It was black and went past her sock covered calves. Her prefect pin shimmered next to the Gryffindor house emblem, which was embroidered into her robes.

She was wearing a silver claddagh. The crown was facing in.

James Potter was sitting a few seats away from her. He was wearing a sour expression, staring at a wall.

She caught him staring.

Lily Evans flashed Severus Snape a smile.
