She said yes. Lilly said yes! Never before did snape feel so alive. Sure, it was just a trip to Hogsmead to get the new sequel to their shared favorite book 'The Hobbit' but it was still something! Snape ran back to slytherin house as fast as possible. "Hey snape!" Called the statue guarding the entrance "whats a snakes favourite letter of the alphabet?" Snape smiled "hey statue Salazar! Sssssssssssnakes cant read!" The statue bellowed with laughter "oh I'll take it. Go on in" snape highfived the statue on his way in. "Damn hes the only kid i know who can pull off that greasy hair and damn is he pulling it off." Snape ran past kids playing chess and practicing magic in the common room "Hey Sev!" Called one kid "i just beat Meriam Maltwell in wizard chess using the Half-blood gambit you taught me!" Snape spun on his heel and skipped backwards to respond "keep it up and one day you'll beat me!"
Snape ran to his bed and dragged out his trunk. He ditched his cloak and put on the muggle style button up that Lilly was fond of. As he was closing the lid of the trunk his eye caught his favourite fancy cape. His mother had given it to him and he wore it his first year on the train ride to Hogwarts his first year. When he wore it he remembered her words that day on the platform "Severus. As long as you wear this cape, you are invincible. No one can hurt you here" she pointed at his gut "or here" and she placed her warm hand on his heart. He smiled and took it out. Holding it in his hands he felt safe. Putting it on he felt confident. Feeling it flutter behind him as he flew down the dorm stairs into the common room he felt strong. "Woo! Capes out, Snapes out!" Shouted snapes best friend. "Hey Lucy!"
They embraced and made their way to the door together "come on man call me MALFOY!" he said in an almost roar. "Anyways I'm going to hang out with Hagrid." Snape chuckled "that weird adult that Dumbledore convinced the Head Master to keep around who does nothing but smoke pot and fuck spiders?" Snape received a playful jab for that one "oh he doesnt fuck spiders. Okay good luck with asking lily out!" Snape halted and grinned ear to ear. "Wait. No. No way! She said yes?" Snape shoved his hands into his pockets with a big grin "well yeah. And get this. I didnt just ask her to lunch, i did the hogsmead plan" Lucy nearly dropped his bag "DUDE. THAT IS SO AWESOME! Is that where you're headed now? Go! Fill me in after!" They exchanged a hug with an extra tight squeeze then ran off in different directions. Snape was flying, nothing could stop him!
As he finally made it to the clock tower he saw lilly and waved, but she was distracted, talking to someone else. "Oh snape!" Lilly said "shoot sorry can we go get the Hobbit sequel tomorrow? James is taking me lunch." James slides real close to her and puts his arm around her "sup faggot. Gay cape"
