Snape's Lost Love
Chapter One
I walked into the Great Hall, she was sitting there with James. I never knew what she saw in him. He had his arm around her and it made me sick. She was too good for that show off. He didn't treat her right, it wasn't like he would hurt her or anything but he didn't treat her like the Princess that she was. She looked up and saw me looking at her, I couldn't turn away. How could I turn away from those beautiful light blue eyes? She wasn't the only one that caught me staring at her, James did too. Let's just say that he wasn't very happy about it.
He got up and headed over to where I was. I was nervous because James was unquestionably stronger than me. To top it all off he best friend Sirius wasn't far behind. When he got over to me he looked at me and looked straight back at him. I didn't want to let him know that I was scared of him. "I don't know what kind of weird obsession you have with my girlfriend, but if I catch you looking at her one more time I am going to poke both of your eyes out." He stood there and I didn't know what to say. I knew that if I talked then he could hear the fear in my voice so I just nodded. "You better watch out Snivillus" Sirius said before they turned and left.
'Snivillus' I thought to myself, oh how I hated when they called me that. Jennifer never called me that, she was too sweet. We hardly ever talked though because she was constantly with James. There was no way I could talk to her with him right there. We had one class together without James though, Divination. That is the only reason I took that class, I was awful at it but it is worth the extra work to be with her.
I had potions class next, I headed over to the dungeons and sat on the other side of the room from James, Sirius, Jennifer, Remus, and Peter. Potions was easily one of my favorite subjects, I was good at it too. There was only one class I liked more, Defense Against the Dark Arts. I was really good at that class too, but no one ever got to see it. James and Siruis took every opportunity to make fun of me, and answering questions made me an easy target so I kept my mouth shut. The potion that we were supposed to make was on the board. I carefully mixed the ingredients and my potion turned the clear blue color it was supposed to. When we were asked to turn it in I poured it into a vial.
James walked over to me and smiled. "What do you want Potter?" I asked suspiciously. "I just thought the way I acted this morning was immature and I thought I would offer to clean your cauldron out for you." I didn't see the harm in it. I nodded and he poured out the rest of my potion into the sink and ran the water over it. I watched carefully to make sure that he didn't do anything to my cauldron. He set it back on the counter and smiled, I thought that he was actually trying to make an effort to be nice to me. I was wrong. He headed back over to his seat. I got up to give the teacher the vial. I held my head up as I walked past James, Jenny, and Sirius. I didn't want James or Sirius to think I was afraid of them, I didn't want Jenny to think I was afraid of them either. I didn't look like I was scared but I also didn't see James put his foot out to trip me. I fell flat on my face right in front of Jenny, the potion flew out of my hand and shattered when it hit the floor. Everyone in the room broke out laughing. I thought I would die of embarrassment. I couldn't even look at Jenny, I didn't think I could bear it if she was laughing at me too. I quickly grabbed my things and hurried out of the room.
I walked down the corridor at top speed. Then I heard her voice behind me. "Severus," her voice was the sweetest thing I had ever heard in my entire life. I turned around to look at her. She ran up to me. "Are you alright? I am really sorry that James did that. He doesn't think about these things sometimes. He doesn't understand how it affects other people." She said softly. He knew very well how it affected me and that is why he did it. "I am fine" I said. She smiled, oh how I love when she smiled. I love everything about her, her smile, her long blonde hair, her laugh, her eyes, everything. "Well I better get back, James said he would wait for me outside the classroom. Bye Severus" she said as she turned to leave. I loved the way she said my name. I never liked my name, but the way she said it made it sound like a poem and not a name. I watched her as she walked away. I couldn't believe anyone that perfect existed on earth.
