Wow, its been a while. That's what college will do to ya tho.
Sweet Memories
"You leave him alone! JAMES!" Lily cried as she balled her hands into fists and stood stubbornly before James-who was waving a want about in the air. "LEAVE.HIM.ALONE!" She stomped her foot and tightened her jaw. "You're being nothing but cruel JAMES!"
"Oh Lily, I'm just having a bit of fun. That's all." Their friends encircled the couple and laughed relentlessly at the greasy haired teen that was suspended in air. "Potions can't help you up there can they?" James teased, his green eyes glimmering with delight.
Severus thrashed about in the air angrily. His usually pallid face was glowing red with humiliation. He feared that james would disclose the REAL reason for this showdown.
"PUT HIM DOWN!" Thundered Lilly. She seemed to be the only one with any compassion. Her dark hair glittered in the wind, contrasting her standoffish and rigid body. "Stop it please, James. He doesn't deserve it."
"You're right. The greasy pervert deserves worse." James flicked his wand and tumbled Severus about in the air. Severus continued his embarrassed silence.
"Yeah, I heard he writes some amazing love letters" one of the boys from the group of onlookers yelled. All the others sniggered. "Yeah, maybe Lilly got one. She seems to like him!" another yelled. The girls began to giggle and cover their faces. Lilly reddened.
"You put him down now, James. Or I will turn you into the toad you are acting like!" She withdrew her wand and pointed it at him. Everyone gasped. They were aware that she was the best transfigurer in the whole school. James froze and slowly lowered his wand, backing himself against the giant oak tree. James smirked and in the next second a deafening thud was heard, and the laughter began again.
Severus rolled around like a confused animal until he regained normal thought and then he rose to his normally dignified pose. Everyone laughed even harder. He was standing like a king, yet his hair was filled with leaves and his black robes were covered in dirt and grass. Lilly turned and laughed in spite of her self.
Everyone saw him fighting the humiliation, but no one ever saw him fighting the tears. No one ever saw him fighting himself either. He turned on his heel and began to walk rigidly away. From now on, he would keep a tighter lid on his feelings- from now on they would be sweet memories.
I know its short, but its for dramatic effect. Please R&R.
