Nothing Can Come Between Us
Chapter 4
Lily slowly made her way down to the dungeons. She found Severus in an empty potions classroom.
"What are you doing?" she asked him.
"Making a potion. What does it look like you filthy mudblood?" Snape answered. Though he instantly wished he never said that.
"Is it for Voldemort?" she asked on the verge of tears.
"Maybe." he replied. Lily started to cry.
"I can't believe you're a death eater." she sobbed.
Lily and Severus had been close friends up until two years ago, when Snape became more distant. Snape went over to hug her but she moved away from him.
"Don't touch me!" she exclaimed. Snape took a step back and he looked hurt. Lily couldn't bear it so she took one last look at him and ran out of the room. She didn't stop until she got to Gryffindor tower, where she bumped into Sirius in front of the portrait.
"Whoa, Lily are you okay?" Sirius asked. She looked up at him, tears still streaming down her face.
"No I'm not okay." she said quietly and then she kissed him. It lasted for about 30 seconds and then she pulled away. She took one more look at him and headed into the common room and off to bed. Sirius just stood there shocked. He walked into the common room, playing what just happened over and over again in his head. He sat down on a big arm chair near the fire. James came in looking exhausted with his broomstick over his shoulder.
"Where were you?" Sirius asked, breaking out of his daze.
"Firs' Quidditch practice is tomorrow. I thought I would get an early start." James said plopping down on a chair next to him.
"Where were you?" he asked turning to look at Sirius.
"Just took a ride on my bike." he said.
"Right well, I'm goin' to bed. I'll do my homework tomorrow." James said yawning.
"Okay, I'm gonna start my essay for defense against the dark arts." Sirius said as James headed up to the boy's dormitories. Sirius didn't start his essay. Instead he walked out of the portrait hole and went to the library. He didn't get back to the common room until midnight. He fell asleep right away.
He didn't wake up until he felt someone poke him really hard in the stomach. He winced and then slowly opened his eyes. James was standing over him.
"Wake up sleepy head! We've got ten minutes!" James yelled.
Sirius crawled out of bed and James threw him his school robes. When he was finished getting changed he met James in the common room, and they left for the Great Hall together.
"Walk faster or we're going to be late. We only have five minutes!" James exclaimed. Sirius yawned in response, but he didn't go any faster. When they got there Sirius grabbed a piece of toast. He took a bite out of it and then the Marauders all headed to potions. They all found a seat together and they took out their materials for class. Sirius caught Lily's eye but she turned away so quickly that she knocked over her cauldron. The professor came in and tapped the blackboard with his wand. The instructions appeared immediately and the supplies appeared in front of the students. Sirius began to cut up dragon spleen and add it to his cauldron.
"Hey have you guys noticed anything weird about Lily?" Remus asked, making sure the teacher didn't catch him talking.
"She's been real quiet lately." James said adding to the conversation. Sirius just pretended he didn't hear.
"What about you Padfoot? Did you notice anything odd?" Remus asked him. Sirius who was setting his caterpillars up to measure them, choked and then cut one of his caterpillars heads off.
"No, I didn't notice anything." Sirius said quickly. James looked at him funny and opened his mouth to say something, but quickly shut it because an awful smell was filling the room. Lily screamed and jumped back. A thick green liquid was overflowing from her cauldron and seeping onto the floor. Her friend Augustine jumped back so the nasty smelling liquid wouldn't touch her feet. Everyone in the class was holding their nose because the smell was so bad.
The teacher walked over and yelled "Repairo!" The smelly green liquid disappeared and the cauldron emptied.
"You added too much dragon spleen." The professor said dangerously.
"I'm sorry professor, I wasn't paying attention." Lily said looking down at her feet.
"Well you'll pay attention next time. I want a essay on the importance of dragon spleen in potions, and ten points from Gryffindor." the professor said and then he stalked off to check other students. Lily was left standing next to an empty cauldron, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Now do you see what I mean?" Remus asked Sirius.
"Yeah, I do. I can't believe it's still raining." Sirius said trying to change the subject.
"Yeah I know. Plus we've got Quidditch practice tonight." James said.
The rest of the day went by fast. Professor McGonagall gave them a lot of homework. James and Sirius headed to the flying pitch. James, being the captain, took attendance and gave everyone their positions.
"Sirius you're chaser. Augustine and Sarah you two are also chasers. Remus you're late." James said as Remus walked over to the team.
"Sorry." Remus said.
"It's okay. Remus you're gonna be keeper. John and Thomas you're beaters. I'm seeker." James informed them.
"Can we get started?!" Sirius exclaimed. James released the snitch, the bludgers and at last he threw up the quaffle. He blew the whistle and they were off. Remus saved the first few goals, but Sirius made his in.
"Keep practicing Remus!" James shouted over the wind and rain. Vision was terrible and with the wind he had trouble steering his broom, but within twenty-five minutes he caught the snitch anyways. The teams walked down to dinner soaking wet.
"Good practice everyone!" James said sitting down at his usual seat next to Sirius.
"Nice goal you made, Sirius." Remus said sitting down across from him.
"Thanks, you made some nice saves as well." Sirius said grabbing some pork chops.
The next couple of months went by quickly, and before they knew it Christmas was over and it was April. Every seventh year is required to take a career test. It's a test that helps you with your future. James's said he would be great as an auror or a professional Quidditch player. Sirius's said he would make an excellent auror, so did Remus's. Peter's said he would be a good counselor for the ministry.
"Guess what Snape got!" James exclaimed, heading to lunch with the rest of the Marauders. They just got their tests back.
"What?" Sirius and Remus asked together.
"It said he would make a great teacher." James said suppressing a laugh.
"Yeah well how about a death eater." Sirius said seriously, sitting down at his usual seat.
"No. You've got to be kidding!" Remus said taking a seat across from him.
"Nope. I saw the dark mark on his arm myself." Sirius said proudly.
"That must be why Lily was so upset." Remus said looking over at the Slytherin table.
"Yeah, probably." James said with a mouthful of food.
"I heard my name." Lily said walking over to where they were sitting.
"No you didn't." James said looking up at her.
"Yes I did."
"I'll tell you what we said if you'll go out with me." James said, messing his hair up even more.
"I would never go out with you!" she exclaimed and turned to leave.
"Hey Lily is it true Snivellus is a death eater?" James asked.
"It's none of your business." she said and then she walked away.
"It's true." James decided out loud and then he took another bite of food.
"I heard Snape also called her a mudblood. That's why she was crying." Peter said moving closer to the group.
"No, he wouldn't!" Sirius asked, though he could believe Snape doing something like that.
"I can't believe he would do something like that!" Remus said looking up from his Daily Prophet, which had just arrived.
"I overheard her friend Augustine talking to her." Peter said proudly.
"That's low. I would never do something that extreme." James said looking down the table at Lily.
Finally chapter 4 is finished. I hope you enjoyed it. Please, please, please, review! I'm open to any reviews. Also if you have any suggestions on making my story any better please let me know.
