Chapter 3- Denial
(A.n: Thanks to all who reviewed. I don't have much to say, but that I don't really know what Harry and Ron were laughing about in the last chapter. I just wanted a distraction to occur and I couldn't think of anything else. So, enjoy this chapter(it's short) and I warn you that the next chapter will be the shortest one I have ever written…please review!)
A couple of days passed and I struggled to fight everything that was literally betraying me. I couldn't accept what I was feeling and I needed to know what I was to do. These feelings though brought out some memories that I had forgotten and I wish they hadn't resurface…
flashback
I was walking down to the Great Hall one evening and I heard a whimper come from a dark corner near the door. I stopped quickly and listened to the sound…it was a girl crying. I tiptoed closer and I peered behind into the corner and the girl caught the sight of me. She stepped out of the shadows and it was Lily Evans, the mudblood.
"Severus…"
Her small voice caught me off guard and I stood silent and I watched her wipe her eyes and give a small smile.
"I was just…"
"You were crying."
She nodded and put her arms around her chest as in a protective manner. I was confused and surprised at my next choice of words.
"Why?"
Lily's eyes softened and she laughed a little.
"Is Severus Snape actually making conversation with me…a mudblood? I think the world has gone inside out…"
I gave her a scowl and I turned on my heel and started to walk away, but her arm on my shoulder stopped me.
"I'm sorry, that was out of line. What I meant to say was…I'm crying because I had a really big fight with James. It was all my fault…"
"I don't want the details, Evans…just…leave me alone."
Lily got a playful look on her face and she smiled.
"Well, then why did you ask me why I was crying?"
I was silent. To be truly honest, I didn't even know why I asked.
"I don't know…now get away from, mudblood!"
Lily frowned and nodded sternly. She turned on her heel and headed to the Great Hall doors. I watched after her with a confused satisfaction because I don't know why I asked her what her problem was…
end of flashback
I was an insolent child back then, but I reveled in the irony of the situation. I had forgotten that incident with Lily Potter and I remembered my feelings. My heart didn't want history to repeat itself, but it had to. I couldn't let anyone get close. It was for their safety and my own.
(A.n: I know it's short and the next chapter will be even shorter, but I promise as the story goes on it will be longer. Please bear with me and keep reading. Please review!)
