Snape: Rikku, don't you have something to say to your readers?

… Nuu, -walks away-

Snape: -grabs shirt- I think you do. After all it's been a while since you last updated your fanfic.

Oh, and it's my fault that my brother just so happened to get married just last week?

Snape: Yes. Yes it is.

I was just having a writer's block too! –digging herself- And … And I wasn't quite sure what to write! And I have a dozen things to do for school! But mostly writer's blockage….

Snape: Explains why this is a short chapter…

Yish…. –waves at the readers- Sorries, I was kinda stumped on what to get to happen in this here ficcy. v.v I really am sorries.

Snape: … -grumbles- …

-Hugs Snape- I need luff.

Snape: -grumbles- … Good luck finding it here…. –sees people staring- Ahem! … Rikku Hikari does not own Harry Potter or me. Which is why she's hugging me when she knows I hate it… Hint Hint!

-Not listening on purpose- n.n

"Hey, Snape."

Severus peered up at a rather troubled looking James Potter. "…What do you want," he turned his attention back to his potions homework. James pulled up a chair and turned it around to the back before sitting on it. He leaned a little on the chair's back, arms crossed over his chest. "I was just curious about something. You see, I heard from a reliable source that you have a … " he looked up at Snape over his glasses peculiarly, "Thing for Lily."

Hearing this, Snape stiffened as though he had been hit. How did Potter find out? He tried to keep his regular composure up as he continued to pretend to read a column in his book. James leaned in a little further until his head was just a few inches above Snape's shoulder. "As I said before, I was just curious to see if this was true or not… I hope that you do know that I myself have a big thing for Lily…"

Was that a threat? Snape bit the tip of his feathered pen to hold back the urge to retaliate with a nice knock to Potter's jaw. How dare he tell Snape that he couldn't like Lily! And after the presents they had exchanged nonetheless! However he kept quiet as Potter went on.

"Sorry to tell you man, but I have a better chance with her than you do. After all…" He shifted his position to slump in his chair a little as though relaxed, "I'm not bullshit like you."

Snape cocked an eyebrow as the other boy continued to insult him something somewhat like his father would when he was so drunk he couldn't walk in a straight line. But he let this other boy speak to him as such. Everyone needs their moments, right? It took an incredibly long amount of time just for James to finish his talk with Severus though it was apparently only ten minutes. It amazed Snape how long Potter could talk about Lily.

Eventually though, James stopped, noticing that Snape was smirking. "What's there to smile about," He said sharply. Snape waved his hand and covered his mouth with the other, "Don't mind me. Go on. You were talking about slipping annoying little notes into Lily's books, I think." At the time, Snape had entirely forgotten James' spiteful attitude towards him due to the awkward lecture that James had attempted. Thus, he was surprised when a powerful blow to his gut forced him backwards and off his chair.

Snape gasped as he tried to regain his breath as quickly as he could. He coughed loudly as James stood over him with a wand in his hand. "Think you're so smart, eh? Think that Lily actually likes you? Ha! She's probably only hanging out with you because she's too kind to ignore a wimp!" Snape pressed his hand to the spot where he'd been hit as if it would make it feel any better. After a few moments of a short pause and a triumphant wait for James, the bespectacled boy turned to leave.

"Can't even get up to help yourself. You're such a … coward"

Snape looked up to the other boy as he left, a cold glare following him until he was no longer in the library.
