POTTEROX: So I was right? Yay!
FullMoon-insanity: Heh, yeah I'm a freshman… but I'm a COOL freshman. Yeah… I didn't know what Tom Riddle wasn't the same age! Sheesh, and I call myself a fan.
Katrina Marie Lupin: I don't think Snape is redeemable, well, I wish he were cause I always thought of him to be the dark, tall, sexy, potions master… but Jo isn't going to give him us. And I know that for a fact. See below.

Okay, READ THIS: School is going well, I'm in the honors program so I basically now have enough homework to make a collage student faint. Literally. Okay, I have a VERY important message – I (and my friends) got the chance to chat with JK ROWLING about a week ago. We found out some very cool info. But here's what's important – we asked her if any deatheaters were redeemable. She gave a no to Snape… but – get this – a maybe to Draco. So there yeah go, Hermione/Draco shippers! To read the full interview go to: hpluvers (dot) net (slash) yuleballtrans2005 (dot) html (I am 'Alicia', btw. Damn thing won't let me post link...)
Oh, and if you see any other errors – tell me where they are. Just don't say "You're story is filled with stupid typos!" because that doesn't help me, tell me WHERE.
Moving on…

Snape read the message on the bulletin board over and over again. He sighed, great… another festival for him to make a fool out of himself… why the hell did he agree to have the ball again? Oh, right, he thought he would have a chance with Lily. He walked away from the wall 'Like that will ever happen' he thought.
Lily was in her room crying, he could hear her wailing from the den.
"Lily?" he asked, "What wrong?"
She sniffed loudly before continuing her wailing, "James!" she cried between sobs.
"What did he do this time?" asked Snape groaning.
"Nothing!" she said loudly before wining a few other words that Snape couldn't understand. He stood there starring at her.
She calmed down and repeated, "I just can't get him off of my mind, he keeps telling me he's sorry and I keep telling him to buzz off… yet part of me wants him," she said calmly before squealing, "I'm so confused!"
Snape sighed, "Well, maybe you should take him back… I mean what he didn't wasn't that bad…"
"Really?" said Lily happily, "You think so?"
Snape froze, 'Good going, you ass!' he thought.
"Uh – do whatever you what – I mean… there's tons of guys in the school… why just be attracted to one?" Snape replied quickly.
Lily looked as if she was considering what Snape had said, "You know what? You're right! Thanks!" she got up and hugged him as he sat there frozen.

'Common – just do it. Ask her. She'll say yes… she totally likes you.' Snape's brain was at battle. Should he ask Lilly to the ball? I mean… he's a Slytherin… how could he forget his house? And she's a Gryffindor! The two will never go hand-in-hand.
'There's a first time for everything, mate.'
'What about my friends… what about Lucius… I can't betray them!'
'You see them maybe 7 times a month. People grow apart Sev, this is a once in a life-time opportunity! Two people sharing one life… forever.'
'What do you mean two people? She has a thing for Pot-head… not me!'
'Oh really? Who does she come to for advice?'
'About what subject, brain-e-ach?'
"Hey Severus!" boomed a loud voice that interrupted his thoughts. It was Lily, she was standing right behind him in her silk yellow nightgown.
"Hi… good morning," he said softly.
She rubbed her eyes, "We don't have classes today, what do you want to do? I'm all done my homework…"
Snape wasn't listening; he was looking at Lilly, her gorgeous bright green eyes that were sparkling at him. "I dunno…" he replied, "What do you want to do?"
Lily sat on her knees beside him on the couch. The fire was blazing; he stared at it to keep him from staring at her. She sighed, "I honestly don't know," she started, "I guess we could head over to the Gryffindor common room and see what's going on there…"
Snape looked at her, her nightgown was so short that it was reveling her pink underwear. He blushed, but the color from his face disappeared quickly as her turned her head towards him.
"I'd rather not," Snape replied, "I don't think I'd be welcome there…"
Lily sighed, "I supposed not." This followed by a long awkward silence between the two.
"Lily?" asked Snape, breaking the silence.
"Hmm?" said Lily looking at a random book that she had picked up off the table in front of her.
"Did you see the bulletin board?"
Lily groaned, "Not another Hogsmeade trip…"
Snape laughed, "No, a dance."
Lily shrugged, "I know. We agreed to it, remember?"
Snape fell silent again. He thought of what he could say, "So, are going to go?"
Lily closed the book and plopped to down on the table, she sighed, "It depends, I guess, on if someone asks to go with them… I would never go alone, my friend Molly did that once, she said it was horrible. I guess watching couples dance is some-what depressing, I mean, it has to be seeing how you want what they've got and they're just flaunting it in front of you, and that's the last thing I need to see with James and…" she stopped herself realizing she was rambling.
"And…?" asked Snape, who was listening to her every word.
Lily looked at him, she didn't see the slim ball was had been staring at for the past six years but a young, attractive young man. But it wasn't like he had changed into some hunk, he still was annoying, he still had a greasy black mop on top of his head and he still was annoying, only this time she found his remarks funny, not insulting. Had she changed into some Slytherin bad girl who snogged constantly and refused to do her work? She thought about it – no, she was defiantly the same, posh, sexy, redhead who spazzed out a lot. So what had changed?
Realizing that Snape was still waiting for an answer she replied quickly, "…And I don't need that right now." She got up and headed back into her room where she sat on her bed, she looked at herself in the mirror, to her relief she saw the same old Lily Evans. She smiled, a worried kind of grin, that was yet happy - Happy that things were changing, even though it might be for the worst.

Snape had decided that today would be the day he asked Lily out… to the dance. He got up and dressed himself properly and combed his hair, then, opening his door quietly to avoid to it from squeaking. As he walked past Lilly's room he noticed that she was still asleep. He walked into her room quietly, making sure not to awake her. She was dreaming alright, he wondered if she was dreaming about him… he knew he was dreaming of her. He had every signal night since about a month ago - his adventures with her last night were most pleasant of them all. It involved them of a beach inside a tent filled with candles and her was kissing him softly on the neck, his hands exploring every part of her body imaginable.
He frowned for he knew that such events were not possible, and he woke up every morning depressed, realizing that his wonderful love for her was just a dream – and a fantasy at that. If only he could read her mind, or see what was inside her heart.
Lily rolled over in her bed, moaning softly. She opened to eyes to a certain Slytherin looking at her sleep affectionately.
"Hey…" he whispered, "Good sleep?"
She moaned, "Yes, wonderful."
He sat in her bed beside her and began to stroke her hair, she put her hand on his thy, then by putting pressure on it she sat up and put her head on his shoulder. He put his arms around her. Then, Lilly did something unexpected she looked Snape right in the eye, started to tilt her head and kissed him.
She weaved her tongue through his mouth and he did the same. She runned her hands though his hair like crazy, making him moan.
Snape pinched himself… he wasn't sleeping.
