REMEMBERING LILY
And as he stood watching Draco trying to work out his feelings another memory came into his mind.
"Severus, Severus wait up" it was Lily voice. She looked as amazing as always. "Um... I was wondering if you could lend me your DADA study guide, I have a few doubts and... well I was wondering if I could borrow yours" said Lily sounding rather nervous.
Snape shook his head as he remembered that. "How could she not be nervous, to ask me anything, I had stop calling her filthy-little-mud-blood just a couple of months ago" said Snape to himself.
Insulting Lily was the thing he regretted the most, he had hurt her so many times. He felt so remorseful. His heart filled with love "I wish she could be here so I could ask for her forgiveness one more time." he told himself before returning to his memories.
Severus was to busy looking at her lovely green eyes, that he had completely missed out Lily's question. When Lily saw that Snape didn't answer she shrugged and said "Never mind, I'll ask Remus" and she turned to leave when Snape said
"No, I'm sorry, what was the question" said Snape apologetically.
"Can I borrow your DADA study guide" repeated Lily.
"Sure" said Severus, taking it out of his DADA book.
"Thanks" said Lily. In that moment the most unpleasant company arrived, of course, it was James Potter with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.
"Your borrowing Snivellus´s DADA study guide" said James looking to what Lily had in her hands "but you don't need that" James continued as he looked up at Lily "you can ask me anything and I'll answer, see... I am an expert in fighting the Dark Arts" said James giving Snape a penetrating look.
"Yeah, the day you stop being a bigheaded Quidditch Player, I'll ask" said Lily with a voice that made her sound sure that she would never ask James anything.
"Yeah, that gave me a big relieve" said Snape to himself "There was something I was sure Potter would never do... stop being a snobbish and vain little jerk" he said to himself while he laughed sarcastically.
He never imagined that James would indeed someday change in order to win Lily's heart.
But once more he was immersed in his memories. "In the meanwhile" said James "I can give you a prove of how well I can fight Dark Arts" said James arrogantly "Snivellus here" continued while he pointed Severus "is a synonym of Dark Arts."
At this moment both James and Severus had their wands out.
"Sorry to interrupt" said Remus "I know that neither of you mind, but if you haven't noticed, we are standing right in front of the Staff Room, and Headmaster Dumbledore along with McGonagall and Flitwick are approaching us as we speak" said nervously Remus.
"Good morning gentlemen" said Dumbledore "Lady" continued Dumbledore as he turned to see Lily.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Dumbledore with a casual voice trying to diminish the importance of what was happening as he stared at James and Severus, who were by now aiming at each other.
"Nothing" said Severus.
"Then, why are your wands out?" said Dumbledore in a calmed voice. Reluctantly both James and Severus put their wands away.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black" said McGonagall "Shouldn't you be serving detention with Mr. Filch" finished McGonagall reprovingly. Both Sirius and James directed Severus looks full of loath before they walked away.
"And you Mr. Lupin" continued McGonagall.
"I have a prefect meeting to attend" said Remus, and walked away as quickly as he could without running.
"Well, have a nice day, then" said Dumbledore to Severus and Lily, and walked away followed by McGonagall and Flitwick.
Severus was still looking at the direction, in which James and Sirius had just left, with a despising look on his face. When Lily asked him:
"You hate Potter don't you." Severus nodded.
"Don't you?" asked Severus trying not to sound too concerned about it.
"No, I don't hate him, I just think he's very conceited" said Lily.
This was not the answer that Severus expected, but at least she had not said she had a secret crush on him or something like that.
"He is not the only arrogant, his gang is too, they are all unbearable" continued Severus.
"Not Remus, he seems nice, I think his quite the opposite of James" said Lily.
"Don't be so sure" Severus said.
"Why, does he have some kind of dirty, little secret?" said Lily almost laughing. She could not think of Remus, as a person with a double life.
"You may say so" said Severus. Trying really hard to contain himself.
"Really" said Lily "Anything you can you tell me?" finished Lily curiously.
"Unfortunately not" said Severus, Thinking, that the only reason he had not told Lily yet about Remus being a werewolf was because he had promised Dumbledore he wouldn't and, Dumbledore's trust meant a great deal to him.
"That's a pity" said Lily "Well, bye and thanks. I'll give it back I promise" said Lily smiling at Severus. He could've just melted in front of that beautiful smile.
A broad smile appeared on Snape´s face, that kept all the way back to his dungeon. That was the way he wanted to remember Lily, smiling at him.
