Boblin: Thanks. Will do.
agent715: May the wootness be with you. LOL, thanks.
Atenea217: Heh, no lemons for a while… glad your in love, although the fact that it's with a fiction character sorta creeps me out (a bit).
Arg, sorry. You must really hate me for making you wait that long. I must say that this is my most successful ficcy ever. The stats are as follows: 5 chapters… well, 6 now. 35 reviews (currently), 472 hits (growing secondly.), 1 c2s (Thank you so much, Atenea217, 50 cookies for you), 8 favs, and 11 alerts. And so I'm updating in honor of you all. Cheers!
But before I start – some people thing that I'm going OOC… sorry if you think so, I have never OOCed, and I can tell you that I be try not to do it in this fic.

Lily starred at the display in front of her and sighed, Jennifer did the same. Who could blame them, every girl in Hogwarts wanted that outfit, it was just so prefect. It wasn't just one thing about it… it was the whole thing… the furry trim, the blue tinted silk, the black sparkling trimmings, all together it made the prefect dress. It didn't matter that it was a Halloween outfit for the tooth fairy; in fact you wouldn't be able to tell that you were supposed to be something until you saw the little necklace made out of teeth shaped diamonds. The girls sighed once more before leaving the window to venture off down Hogsmade.
"So," said Jennifer casually, "Got a date to the dance yet?"
Lilly went a bit pink in the ears, although you couldn't really tell that it was from embarrassment, it just seemed as if the cold air was freezing them.
"No," she replied shortly after, "I don't know if I'm going to go with anyone, might just go by myself," she lied. Snape had asked her yesterday, she said yes of course, although she had to admit she was surprised. She had though that she had creeped him out when she kissed him a few days ago.
"Well…" started Jennifer, "I hear that James is still available."
Lily scoffed, "Did he tell you to tell me that…"
"No… of course not…" said Jennifer waving at a passing Ravenclaw.
"Jen, common tell the truth… did he?" Lily replied.
"Maybe… okay, yeah, he did," admitted Jennifer quickly, "Just don't let him know that I told you."
Lily smiled, "Really getting desperate isn't he?"
"Maybe, or maybe he just really wants to go with you," pushed on Jennifer.
"Rubbish. Even if it was true… I wouldn't agree to it… not in a million years…"
"What do you have against him?" questioned Jennifer.
"It's just that…" Lily paused, she never really had thought about it before, "I guess I'm just picky," she laughed, "I don't know…"
They stopped at another display. Jennifer looked at the Cat Woman costume. "What's that supposed to be?" she pointed at it.
Lily looked up, "Muggle superhero."
Jennifer smiled, "I like it."
"Why? Because it's revealing?"
Jennifer laughed, "Exactly."

Snape was plopped on the couch stroking Lily's pet cat when she barged in a grin spread on her face.
"Ah oh, what did Ms. Evans do?" he said teasingly.
"Well, Mr. Snape," Lily replied going along with the game. She pulled out a bag filled with clothes, "I've brought costumes!"
"Great," he said dully, "Let's see what that damage is, shall we?"
Lily through him a look, "Hey, just be happy that you're not going to be a bunny like Sirius is."
Snape was in the middle of taking a drink out of his water bottle when he spat it out, full of laughter. "You're joking, right?"
"No, actually I'm not. Jennifer is going to be a girl bunny, and Sirius is a boy bunny." Lily confirmed with a bit of a chuckle.
Snape was roaring with laughter as Lily took the plastic off their costumes… She showed it to him. He stopped laughing.
"You're joking right?" he asked worried.
"Nope," she replied holding up the green cloth-like costume, "I'm going to be a naughty nurse and you…" she pulled out another costume, "…Are a doctor."
He raised his eyes at her, "Okay, I guess its not that bad, but what about that costume that you wanted?"
"300 galleons." Lily said shortly.
"Really?"
"Yup. I don't have that kind of money."
There was another short silence between the two. Lily broke it, "So… do you like your costume?"
"Yes," said Snape getting up from the couch, and planted a small kiss on her cheek.
Lily cleared her throat, "Sev… about what happened the day before yesterday…"
Snape knew where this was going, "Lily, it's okay."
"No it isn't," she shot back angrily, "It was completely out of line and on all steps inappropriate! I have no idea what the sod I was thinking… you must have been spooked out of your bloody mind!"
"Lily!" interrupted the Head Boy, "It was fine. I liked it to be honest… you need to relax. Trust me, it was something that I didn't have the courage to do…"
"You mean…?"
"Yes. I swear. Why would I ask you to the dance if I didn't?"
"I dunno," she said, there was a scratchy sound in her voice, "It's just that…"
"Yes?"
Lily opened her mouth, but she just could find the words, "It's just hard…"
Snape raised his eyebrow, "What is?"
She sighed, "To be with you," she bit her lip, "I mean… my whole life people have expected me to… I dunno… be good at everything, little Miss perfect and then run off with James one day…"
Snape commented, "So… do you not want to go with me to the dance?"
"No!" she replied quickly, "No, that's not it at all! It's just that everyone has seen me that way, and so I sort of see myself that way and therefore its just hard – hard to do something that isn't expected of me."
She looked down, "Do you understand?"
He nodded, "I feel the same. You just need to go with it… Lilly, sometimes things come up in life, things that are unexpected, things that don't make sense. Things like you – I hate you, yet…" he sighed, "I feel something on top of the hatred."
"What is it?" she asked confused.
"Unexpected Love."
