He was hiding into the ancient tree. It was a oak and its brown leaf were falling into the green grass. He used to hide there to reflect and practice some magic tricks.

However this time from not so far away he heard two voices. He didn't want to be discovered so he hided himself more and more. But from the cracks of the old tree he could clearly see what was happening.

"You are a monster!" the brown haired girl screamed

The boy just looked at the red haired girl in front if him. She was like him, she was a witch.

He then looked at the other girl, the one with brown hair. She was a muggle and she saw in her sister a freak. He never liked the muggle and this was one of the reasons why. The no magic people feared them most of the time. His father for example had never really understood his powers. Since he discovered them he started to be more absent and rude.

The he saw the girl running away leaving the other behind. Automatically he got out of the tree.

The red haired girl wasn't aware of him until he stepped into a wood stick making a little noise.

The girl quickly turned around. The boy could see her stunned expression. He wanted to help her not scared her. He took a leaf and made it going toward the young witch. She couldn't help but smile at the little magic trick

"Hi, i'm Lily!" she said with the leaf on her hands "Severus Snape" he promptly answered.

They started at each other for some second before Lily broke the silence "Do you always hide into trees?"

Her voice was so soft and calm that made Severus forget why he was hiding in the first place. "I-i... probably I wanted to run away" he now looked for a moment straight into her eyes "do you want to see a nice and relaxing place I like?" He fought to remain calm and to not get shy but his voice was betraying him.

Lily looked at the hill where she just saw her sister running away then at the boy. "Mmm... maybe another time,I'm sorry"

He didn't saw her again for almost a week.

Everytime he went to the old oak he would hope to see her there standing straight while looking to the orizon with her beautiful red hair moving at the summer breeze. Stop dreaming Severus

Eventually one day after an horrible discussion between him and his father about school, Severus run to the very same tree just to see her standing like he had always dreamed her.

She noticed his presence and turned around to face him. She locked her eyes with his and for a moment the world went white. She had never saw someone like her before, she had never saw a wizard. "Hi... mmm... Look i'm sorry Severus for the last time but I needed to follow her and -" she stopped when she heard him chuckled

"She cannot understand us but maybe with time she will come to term with it" he didn't sound hopefull quite the opposite actually. He was sure she will never accept her sister's powers, like his father had never understood his.

A muggle will always remain a muggle.

They were lying in the grass under a large tree near the river. The leaf were falling each time a wave of wind came.

More than one afternoon the two young wizard spent time looking up to the sky and the leafs.

"You know I think I have understand why the muggles can't accept us" he declared that day.

She looked at him a little bit puzzled.

"She is jealous. She's ordinary and you are special"

She could believe him "That's mean Severus!" she looked at him with a judging gaze. Severus also turned to see her green eyes glaring at him. "What?! It's true..."

"Will I see you at school then?" she asked

"Yeah, sure...school...uhm... I might not be there the first semester since my father is not quite found of the idea of going in a all-wizards school...". he explained with a little bit of melancholy

"Oh, I'm sorry... I-i didn't know... I wish you could be there for the entire year" with that she hugged him as a goodbye.

Severus wasn't used to this kind of affection so it took him a moment to respond by hugging back the red-haired girl.

The station was full as always. Severus was near a group of his so-called friends.

"Severus come! We need to take the best places!!" Igor Skandisky a tall blonde boy, good shaped body and black eyes. The boys knew each other since the middle school because their mothers worked together. Shara Stephenson was a healer and worked along the group of Aurors leaded by Severus's mother, Eileen Prince.

Slowly the boy passed through the brick wall of the column between the binaries 9 and 10. Everything was like he has imagined. All the witches and the wizards were walking frenetically, some of them were crying, other laughing, some were even scared. Scared as was he.

The other boys with in a minute were near him and together they made their way to the train. Severus stopped himself to look one last time to his mother and the binary.

He suddenly his eyes found a red-haired girl who was watching him. Without a word he looked away and entered into the train.
