Konnichi wa everyone! I just finished rereading my previous chapters here
on ffn and I'm in shock that I actually wrote that! Dude, it was totally
freaky because I can't even remember writing some of it . . . @____@ Oh
well. For this chapter I've decided to make into a flashback. *throws
confetti* Enjoy!
Disclaimer: *in a somewhat maniacal tone* I own Harry Potter! It's true! I own Snape, I own Malfoy, I own everyone! MWAHAHAHA! *back to normal* If you actually believe my caffeine-infested self just a few seconds ago, I suggest you go get some form of help.

"Who's wants to see to see me take off Snivelly's pants?" James asked again, slightly making Snape spin in little circles. Lily Evans had just stormed back to the castle, so it was the most opportune time to vent some frustration.
Severus was miserable. He wished he could apparate into a dark, small hole somewhere in the dungeons and stay there forever. If only he had his wand . . . He had just stopped spinning then, and he was looking at an upside down Alexandria Bane. He sneered. She was always hanging out with Lupin, and he supposed she would become Black's girlfriend quite soon, as it seemed he had taken a fancy to her.
She stared back at the victim with feined amusement, though she was actually repulsed at the whole thing. She wished Remus- or herself, for that matter- would muster up the courage to tell James and Sirius to knock it off. She admired Lily for doing just that minutes ago, but some help that was. Then she had an idea. Grabbing Sirius' elbow, she dragged him back. "Tell James to cut it out, please?"
"Why? You always loved us taunting Snivelly," Sirius said in the same undertone.
"I just don't feel like it today. Besides, you guys really are going too far this time. Please? I'll do whatever you want." She replied painfully. She had a feeling of what was to come...
"Anything? How about a date, then?"
Just lovely, she thought. "Fine. Just make him stop."
He smiled and shuffled back towards James, whispering in his ear. James stared at Sirius for a moment, and then nodded. Jerking his wand upward, he allowed Snape to fall painfully to the ground.
"It's your lucky day," he said, "Just remember it." With that, he stomped off to the castle, wisps of the surrounding crowd following suite.
Sirius winked at Alexandria and whispered, "Tomorrow night around ten o'clock. Meet me near the door."
She nodded her assent and made for her bags by the beech tree at which Remus was still sitting. "Good thing you told them to quit it," she hissed into his ear. Remus did not reply.
Severus was already heading back to the castle when she caught up to him.
Running up beside him, she matched his stride and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Do I look it?" he snarled.
"Well, sorry." She spat, "I was only concerned. It's not like you have no one that likes you or anything."
He spun towards her, "Why are you doing this? Leave me alone!" He made to open the doors, but she grabbed his wrist.
"Look, I'm sick of watching James and Sirius taunt you, okay? I want to be your friend."
"I don't want to be friends you!" he tried to yank his arm away, but she held it tight.
"I'm not pulling anything. . . Severus," she murmured, making him turn to face her, "I really truly want to be friends. It is not right to do what they just did. I made Black tell Potter to stop, and I have to go out with him for it. So the least I ask is a thank you or something." Her face was sincere. Severus wanted to turn away, to not gaze into her emerald orbs swelling with emotion, but he was transfixed. "Please?"
"Thank you," It came out as barely a whisper; Alexandria almost did not catch it, "What is it you want from me?"
"Just your friendship," she also said in the same tone, letting him go at last.
"Alright," he said, straightening a little, "but I think it would be better not to blab it off, alright?"
Alexandria smiled and held out her hand, "Deal." Severus looked at it for a moment, then clasped it with his own.
"Deal."

Wow! I finally finished it! Sorry it took me forever. I had forgotten it at one point! Aya! Well, hope you people out there in fanfiction-land (fanfiction-land? Where'd that come from?!) enjoyed. Don't forget to review!
