Severus went to his N.E.W.T.'s potions class. His class without James. Severus was so happy when they posted the scores for the N.E.W.T.'s exams a month ago in the great hall. Dumbledore put a spell around them so you could only see your own score but Severus used a spell that let him see all of the scores. He and James got an Outstanding in every thing except a history of magic in which they each got Exceeds expectations. But James got an Exceeds Expectations in potions as well. Severus tied for the best scores with the filth half-breed Lupin, and Lily. James got angry with his score in potions and chose not to take the class. But Lily was with him. He put a box on her desk. Every one got in their sets and Lily opened the box. A fairy that looked like cupid with a lily jumped out and started to sing:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm oh so sorry,
For what I did to you.
I know I should not have
And now I feel oh so blue.
Your beauty captivated me
I got nervous so I insulted you
Now I have brought you chocolate and a Lily
Please forgive me for what I have done
Give me a second chance and you'll see
That I can be oh so fun!
This is from Severus Severus
I can't believe I paid two Galleons for that poem! Severus thought bitterly. The boys in the class laughed tauntingly but the girls, to Severus's surprise were saying that it was sweet. He eagerly waited for class to end. Finally it did and Severus went up to Lily.
"So what do you think?" He asked blushing.
"I forgive you," she said with a slight but cordial smile.
"Would you like to go to Cupid café at Hogsmade this weekend with me Lily?" Severus asked fretfully. She looked at him quite taken-aback.
"I will have to think about it," She replied.
It was Friday and Severus was exceedingly nervous, thinking she might say no. H was sitting outside reading about how to make a truth sereum in his potions book. Lily walked up to him.
"All right Severus I will go with you," she said.
"Thank you," Severus replied in a squeaky voice.
