Chapter 3 Go Away Severus
The night wore on and Lily and James finally fell sleep.
At the time just before sunrise, when the sky is just a lighter shade a blue; Lily awoke to the sounds of someone at the window. Lily looked around groggily mumbled something and noticed just how close she'd gotten to James during the night. He'd even wrapped his arm around her waist.
Lily scooted away slightly, and peered out the window, and was instantly awake as she locked eyes with Severus Snape. Lily glared at him viciously, as he did her noticing James. Lily rolled her eyes as Severus pointed to James and did a gagging motion.
Severus pointed to his wand and did a motion and mouthed 'Where's your wand?'
Lily mouthed back, 'Confiscated.' Severus got the picture.
Severus motioned for her to let him in, but Lily mouthed 'I can't.'
Severus gave her a questioning look.
Lily started to walk towards Severus and they watched James be magically pulled towards Lily, Severus nodded in understanding; then he walked off.
Lily was wondering what he was doing there, when he came in silently through the door, and they began whispering to each other.
"Severus what ARE you doing here?"
"I came to get you back-."
"Sev, you can't keep traitoring back and forth, it's not good for you!" Lily said grinning slightly, as did Severus.
"It's more like getting back at HIM." Severus whispered and nodded towards the sleeping James.
"OH I see, you want to get him back for all those things he did to you back at Hogwarts! Really Severus that's very childish, and using me and in such a delicate situation!" Lily scolded; she sometimes just didn't understand that man.
"No, Lils, it's not like that- I don't want HIM taking advantage of you! I mean look at you two; he has complete power in this situation, steal his wand and let's go!"
"No, Severus, I don't want to go back there, I thought you were supposed to turn in Death Eaters, not help them." Lily said curtly.
"Lily, come on Potter, he's just using you- you don't know what the Daily Prophet has been putting out; if he comes back with you as his prisoner he's going to be promoted or transferred to an unspeakable! He'll do anything for it, I know him; he will. Lily just tell me the spell he has you under and I'll take it off and we can get out of here!" Severus whispered urgently.
"No Severus, he wouldn't do that and even if he did I don't care, I'm not going back there, no way in hell!" Lily whispered loudly, and James stirred in his sleep, and Lily froze since she was still right next to him. "Sev, get out before you get caught." Lily laid her head back on the pillow, and Severus sighed loudly.
"I didn't want to do this, but honestly- Potter, WAKE UP!" Severus said, and cast as spell so water poured on James' head, and James was immediately awake.
"SEVERUS!" Lily shrieked.
"Snape?" James asked groggily waking up. "What the hell?"
"Potter, good morning." Severus said hotly.
"I don't see why you're in such a mood, seeing that you woke ME up." James muttered, grumpily climbing out of bed as did Lily. "Don't you have some Death Eater meeting to get to?"
"Humph-." Severus opened his mouth to say something when Lily intervened.
"Quiet please, BOYS." Lily said to the two 20 year old men before her. "Stop acting like kids and Severus tell me what you're planning."
"I want to take you with me Lily, away from HIM." Severus growled.
"I told you I'm NOT going, if you get caught Severus-."
"I'll just say I'm saving you-."
"And get James in trouble? No, Severus leave right now I'm going I've decided what fate I want, and this is how it's going to be. I'm going to Azkaban, all right? Deal with it; I have."
"Oh, like it will do any harm to Mr. Perfect's reputation, but what will do something to it is if your caught sleeping with him-."
"Severus!" Lily said exasperated. "Out, out, out! Leave now, I don't need the temptation!" Lily shoved Severus out the door, and he glared at her and left. "Finally, that man is going to get me into trouble." Lily muttered as she laid back down.
"What did you mean by 'temptation'?" James asked.
Lily sighed, "It's just the fact that I don't really WANT to go to Azkaban, I mean who does? But he was giving me such a clear get away, he woke you up probably to see what you thought- or something. Severus is a complicated man."
"You got that right." James said lying down next to her. "We'll get to the ministry for sure today, so get some sleep."
Lily groaned and rolled over so she didn't have to look at him. They were quiet a few minutes until- "Lily, my hair's all wet."
"And?"
James groaned, "So is the bed."
Lily snorted, "Not my problem now is it?"
"It is too, you're the one who let Snape in."
"I did not; he came in all on his own!"
"All the same, my half of the bed is wet, so scoot over so I don't have to get wet."
"OH no you don't, you're all wet!" Lily said backing away from James who was getting closer. "Plus this makes me a bit uncomfortable."
"OH get used to it."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing just that I want to sleep AND stay dry." James said.
"Well, then we're sleeping on the floor." Lily said: it was early in the morning, she was tired and trying to think straight and talking to Severus was making her head hurt. So obviously she wasn't thinking so clearly, because she grabbed James' arm and pulled him down with her as she rolled off the bed, making him land right on top of her.
What a sticky situation, and who could be so kindly to walk in at that moment?
