Chapter 2

Serverus Snape sat in his dungeons. It was cold and was to become colder. He usually put a warming charm on his rooms but it had been a warm summer, even in the dungeons. Serverus was lonely, very lonely and scared.This year Lilith began Hogwarts due to her mother's wishes fro her safety. Lilith was more beautiful than her mother and could be compared to a full blooded veela and still be the most beautiful. She had everything the same as her brother but it was all so different. In a femine stature it was amazing beauty. Though Serverus found himself thinking Lilith's brother was slightly more attractive. Serverus hated himself for feeling this way about the boy but he couldn't help it. Ever time he ignored it, it grew in strength and need. How he wished to be near him, to be with him, to let him see a side of Serverus Snape everyone thinks doesn't exsist. But for now, he was alone and the only confort he had was the glass full of the amber liquid of all he had left.

''Hmm...hard to place Miss Black just like your brother, you would benefit of being in Grffyndor but then again Ravenclaw seems to be calling you,''said the Sorting Hat to Lilith. ''But...I think I'll place you in SLYTHERIN!''

Draco looked up at his new friend, Harry, and smiled. Harry and Draco had become close when Draco turned to Dumbledore for help as Voldemort told him to kill 3 muggles so he could be accepted into the ranks of the Deatheaters. He hadn't wanted that and now Harry and Draco spent a lot of time together and though Draco had a small crush on Harry he knew his friendship was better than any relationship could ever be. Lilith sat next to him and shook his hand smiling at him. Draco had never had anyone who had wanted to be his friend without knowing who his father was or how powerful he was but she had no idea. She smiled and Draco laughed as Harry raised an eyebrow and waggled it playfully at Draco. Lily turned around and stuck her tounge out at Harry, who pretended to be shocked. All the while Ginny was making faces at Lily and Draco could feel the ice in her gaze.

Harry, Ron Hermione and Ginny sat at the Grffyndor table. Harry sat facing the Slyhterin table and made faces at Draco and Lily. Over the past two weeks that Lily had been here, Draco and her had become really close as the both shared a passionate love of potions and the dark arts. Harry found himself talking to both of them a lot. Much to Ginny's annoyance and Ron's whining. A graceful black eagle flew over to Lily's place and she looked up at it, her eyes filled with dread and she seemed to be hoping the bird wouldn't drop anything at her place. Slowly a pale cream letter with the Black family crest waxed on the back floated down to Lily's place. She opened the letter and seemed to read it hurriedly, her eyes filling with tears. A couple of people asked her what was wrong and this seemed to anger her as she stood slowly up. Draco gave her a look as to say, don't. A passing Hufflepuff asked again and Lily screamed and picked up her plate and threw it at the floor. She then stood up and began tearing banners of the houses of the wall. Harry rose and Draco and Harry tried to calm Lily down.

A thick line of eye make-up ran down her cheeks and she could heardly breathe because of the sobs that shook her body, Draco led her carefully out of the Great Hall and signaled for Harry to follow them. He took them to his rooms as he had private ones to stop Deatheater Slytherin's killing him now he was with the light.

''Lil?'' said Draco softly.''What's wrong?''

Lily made some mumbled sounds and handed the letter to Harry. ''Read it out,''she said quietly.

Dear Lily,

I have bad news darling. Alexandria has been killed. the ministrey decided it was for the best and maybe it was. Gerard has left and we are greatly worried so if he contacts you tell me straight away. If he finds any of that muggle posion he will be back to square one and what will Cathy and Livy do then. Your father is well but we do have to talk about your refusal. I wouldn't ask you to do this if I didn't believe it would save your life. Lily, you are not my daughter but I love you more than your mother ever could. I love you because of who you are, not because your my daughter.

Love

Mere et Pere

Draco gave Lily a tissue and she cleaned her self up.

''I am so sorry but my family. It's all gone,''she mumbled.

''What do you mean Lil?'' asked Harry.

''My sister is a werewolf and the French Ministrey just shot her, my brother Gerard is addicted to some muggle substance and is now free to get it and wreck his and his daughter's life again and my adoptive parents want me to take the deathmark and marry some idiot from Drunstrang,''shouted Lily.

Drcao began getnly rubbing Lily's back as Harry checked the time. It was after first class. They decided to run to potions and hope they weren't late.

Snape rasied an eyebrow at Draco, Harry and Lilith but didn't say anything as he had seen her explosion that morning. They took their seats, Harry next to Ron and Draco next to Lily.

''I wouldn't get confortable Mr Potter, you will be working with Miss Black today,'' said Snape. ''You will be making a potion that requires a great deal of patience and skill, you will be making Wolfsbane and for homework you will be writing how it effects those who suffer from lyncathory.''

Harry left to sit with Lily and she went to get the ingredients before Snape had put the list on the board. Lily only asked Harry to chop things and she added all the ingredients.

Professor Snape stood next to Harry and watched as Harry shakily added some moss of the elder tree. Lily almost laughed as she could sense the feeling in Harry's blush and in Snape's gaze. Where most people would see fear, Lily saw affection and a romantic tension. She also noticed how Snape and Harry looked so good together. She couldn't help but smile as Harry became a darker shade of red with every second the potions master stood next to him. The potion was finished and Snape looked surprised at how well it was made. It was perfect.

Turning to Lily he said''I doubt this is your first time making the potion, Miss Black?'' said Snape quietly.

''No sir, it is not my fisrt time but I believe this is a hard potion to make and it took me a long time to master it,''said Lily to her head of house.

''Twenty points to Slytherin for an excellent potion and Mister Potter you can get five, for helping,'' drawled Proffesor Snape like it was killing him to give Harry Potter points for a potion.

By the end of the period only two pairs had made the potion, Harry and Lily and Draco and Neville. Draco wasn't being as mean to Neville but Harry noticed Neville blushed everytime Draco looked at him or said something to him. He nudged Lily and she smiled.

''Someone's got a little crush it would seem,'' smiled Lily the Slytherin in her eyes glittered.

''Draco or Neville?' I asked hoping it was Draco he was my friend and I wanted him to have someone and Neville was a good choice.He was very sweet and had grown very attractive lately.

''Both, I think.''

I smiled and saw Lily's eyes light up. Harry was scared to think what was going on inside her head right now. Harry didn't notice though when Lily looked at him and Professor Snape the same way, with the same gleam in her eyes.

I know this may be rude but
