Thanks to all my reviewers. I seem to be updating about every day...it depends on if I get writer's block again. R/R Some more!!
I practically floated to my dorm that night. My lips still tingled, and Ron was whisked out of my mind….until I went up to my bedroom. There sitting on my pillow was an envelope. Scrawled on the front read: Lily Snape, Dorm 23 Ravenclaw house. I recognized the handwriting, it was Ron's. It took me ages to finally open the letter and when I did I found:
Dear Lily,
I'm sorry for the way I acted. It was completely out of line. I know you never meant to hurt me. I'm sure whatever you see in him must be wonderful, after all, you love him. He is the luckiest person in the world. I just wish it were me. See you tomorrow in Potions.
Love,
Ron
There were no words to describe how relieved I was. I happily changed into my pajamas, and went to sleep.
In Potions, I received many dirty looks. This I would get used to, as it happened everyday. I guess everyone hated me because they thought I was receiving special treatment in my classes. The truth was, Dad didn't yell at me during classes. If my work was done poorly, he called me into his office afterwards and scolded me there. I was very careful not to mess up my work in Potions. He is the most terrifying person you'll ever know when he's angry.
Ron took his seat next to me and smiled. He put his arms around me and I snuggled into him. I was so glad we were okay. I really didn't want to know what things would have been like if we hadn't made up. Harry and Hermione watched us, and by the looks on their faces, they still hated me with every fiber of their being. Probably in most part because of what I did to Ron, but probably because I'm Snape's daughter and Snape hates Harry. Maybe they think it's genetic. Bloody Hell. Just then, blinded by my own happiness, I sliced my dandelion roots too thin and my potion exploded. Oh I was going to get it later.
"You completely ignored the instructions!!" Snape was yelling again. "I don't know why I even bother putting them up on the board, you students don't read them anyway."
"Professor, please. I didn't mean to. I was just so…happy, that I forgot the proper way to slice the roots. I'm sorry." My face was downcast. I was no longer happy. Now I was only ashamed.
"Excuse me Professor?" A quiet voice floated into the now awkwardly silent room. A red head suddenly appeared. "Sorry to interrupt, but Lily and I are late for Transfiguration." Ron saved me from the wrath of my father. I was eternally indebted to him.
"Yes, yes fine off you go then." He said, his anger replaced with a smug look.
"Goodbye Dad….see you later."
We left the room. Not a moment too soon either. I just stood there outside the classroom, trying to contain myself. I didn't want to cry. I mean he's yelled at me worse than that. But now of course, my happy disposition was dead. I was doomed to sulk about the castle all day. Ron sensed my discomfort, and began to lead me towards McGonagall's classroom. There, I went to check the seating chart. Ron was seated with Harry and Hermione, while I was placed in between Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy. I started to feel happy, but then remembered Pansy. She was short and looked like a pug. Not to mention she hung all over Draco like he was a god. I turned to make my way towards the desk and saw Pansy leaning dangerously close to Draco. I quickly sat in between them.
"Hello Draco." I managed to choke out. "Pansy."
"Lily." She said smugly. Oh she was jealous.
"Lily, hi." Draco said. He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. My heart beat so fast…I thought I would pass out. He hugged me and I felt him breathing near my ear. "Meet me after class." He whispered, then kissed my temple and focused on the board.
I swear a class had never taken so long to get over before. Ron waited for me after class to escort me to dinner, but I sent him away. I told him I'd catch up with him later. There was no way in hell I'd hurt him again. Just then my stomach started doing flip flops. Draco exited the classroom. He held on to both my hands then led me to a corner away from the eyesight of passing students and teachers. He began to kiss me. Softly at first, but then I began to get into it and kiss him back. Soon we were gasping for breath in between kisses.
"Be my girlfriend." It was a statement. Not a question. There was probably no doubt he knew what I'd say, so I didn't peg him as a control freak just yet. He reached down into his robe pockets and pilled out a ring. It was small, and when you looked at it it was green, but a few seconds later it changed to blue. Then back to green again.
"Of course." I said, and he slipped the ring on my right hand.
I threw my arms around his neck and we began to kiss passionately once more. But we were interrupted a moment later by Harry Potter passing us on his way to dinner. He saw us and gave me a look to kill. Draco saw this and kissed me once more. The kiss was intoxicating. I felt it tingle all the way to my feet. Hand in hand we snuck out of the corner and towards the Great Hall.
"I'm just glad that wasn't your father." I smiled up at him, and kissed him softly as we walked through the doors of the Great Hall.
