Severus And Lily

Chapter Three

Severus walked slowly down the stairs from his dorm and into the common room of Slytherin. He looked up. People were excited and talking in high voices. He looked over at them. People in his house were crowded around a poster on the notice board.

Curious, Severus pushed his way through until he saw the writing.

END OF TERM DANCE

Severus stepped quickly back, far away from the poster.

A dance? Why do the teachers bother with these things?

For the rest of the week, students will be thinking of nothing but the dance.

Girls will be in small groups, whispering and giggling, eyeing out potential partners.

The boys will be trying to look even more macho and handsome, trying to get all the beautiful girls before they run out.

Classes will be inturupted and the attention levels will decrease incrediably.

Severus shook his head. It was less than a week away.

Muttering a few angry words under his breath, Severus left the Slytherin common room and headed for the Great Hall for breakfast.

He was met with a clap on the back by two of the Slytherins boofheads and thickheads, who couldn't think of anything more to enjoy but watching something in pain and cruelty.

"Hear 'bout the dance comin' up severus?" One asked.

Severus merely nodding, putting a slice of toast onto his plate.

The two began talking about something, but Severus wasn't listening. Every now and then he nodded, just for the sake of it.

"Oi. Theres the filthy mudblood. Wonder who's she's going to be with?" One of the Slytherin's sniggered.

Severus spun around.

Lily was walking into the Great Hall.

Her beautiful red blazing hair fell down her back and moved and swayed as she walked. Her bright emerald eays scanned the Gryffindor table, looking for a seat.

Severus urgered her to turn around and look at him. To come over and tell him she didn't mean to laugh. To tell him she's sorry.

But she didn't. She sat down beside someone Severus didn't know and began to smile and talk softly. Oh, if only he could hear her talking so softly and sweetly as that to him.

"Potions first... bloody hell, how i hate potions. Why the hell are you good at it, eh?" A slytherin in his class asked grumpily.

Severus just shrugged. He didn't feel like talking.

Potions. Something he and Lily shared in common. There were many things they shared in common, but lately he felt so far away from her, even if she was just sitting the table across from him.

Severus finished his breakfast, slung his bag on his shoulder and got up.

"You're not leaving all ready are you?" One of the Slytherin's asked angrily.

"Just... just gotta return something to the library." Severus threw a furtive glance at Lily who was also slowly getting up, leaving her breakfast.

Severus walked quickly out of the Great Hall and hid beside the door.

Soon Lily's elgant body slipped passed the doors and Severus tok a few hurried step to join Lily.

"Hey." Severus said softly at Lily's ear, smiling.

Lily jumped and span around. She was just about to shout, when her features relaxed and smiled. She put her arms around him and hugged him close.

Severus hugged her back, taking in her scent.

"Severus... I-I really sorry that i laughed at you..." Lily looked at her feet guilty.

Severus knew that look all too well.

He lifted Lily's chin up with his finger and smiled at her. "It's ok. I understand."

Lily beamed and flung her arms around Severus again.

Severus laughed softly, enjoying the moment.
