It was Sunday, and Lily was sitting under a tree, watching the sun set.
Snape came up behind her, and sat down on the grass beside her.
He put his arm around her shoulder. "Lily?" "mmhm?" "I've been thinking…about what's going to happen-you know, after Hogwarts." Lily didn't say anything. "Lily," He faced her. "I want you to marry me-after we out of here…will you?"
She didn't say anything for a few minutes. Then, "Yes." She answered him simply. But she didn't sound at all happy. She was confused. "What's wrong with me?" She thought.
Just then, she saw Potter sitting alone, under another tree. Her heart jumped. "What's going on?" She asked herself. "Severus, the one I love, and want to marry, asks me to, and I don't feel like I want to. Do I love him?" She thought about potter. Her heart skipped and she blushed every time he came near her.
Snape was to bewildered to notice Lily's lack of enthusiasm. "Yes?" He asked. She nodded slowly. He pulled a ring out of his pocket. It was a beautiful white gold, diamond engagement ring. He slipped it onto her finger.
That night, she sat in the common room, staring into the fire. "Maybe I'm making a big mistake." She thought. Potter came up to her. "What's with the ring?" he asked bluntly. "I'm engaged." "You don't sound very happy about that." He replied. "I guess I'm just in shock."
He gazed at her for a few moments, and then walked away. Her heart fell. "Why didn't he care?" She thought. "Why do I care?" she thought, now more confused then ever.
