Sirius And Lily

Chapter Four

Severus was laying under a shade of a tree, trying to escape the sticky hot corridors and classrooms within the castle. It was unbelievebly hot, even in the shade, the heat would not go away and there was no breeze in the afternoon to cool Severus. Students had been taking to sprinting to the lake and jumping in, robes and all, and swimming about the cold water. Quite a few people had been snatched by the lonely Giant Squid, but they returned after a few hours.

"And to think i was looking forward to Summer!" Came a familiar voice.

Severus lifted his head to see a red, sweaty Lily Evans. Her flaming red hair stuck to the back of her neck and on her face as she puffed. Severus rolled onto is stomach with a grunt and looked up at Lily with a stupid grin on his face.

Lily looked at him and laughed softly, "Is that a smile on Severus Snape's face?" Lily exclaimed.

Severus tried to wipe the smile off and into a frown, but he couldn't, Lily was making faces and he couldn't help but laugh with her.

Lily flopped down beside Severus, their elbows touching, sending a weird, tingling feeling up his arm.

"Three weeks 'til the end of the year. One and half weeks 'til exams and three days 'til the dance." Lily sighed, shaking her hair off her face.

"Are you going?" Severus asked, his heart began to thump in his chest.

"I don't know..." Lily said puzzeled looking at the grass in front of her.

Snape picked up a stick and began digging a hole with it. "Have you got a partner?"

Lily took a moment to reply, shaking her head she said "No."

Sucking in his breath and biting his lip hard, Severus asked the question he'd been longing to ask. "Would you go with me?"

As soon as he said it, he swore mentally to himself. He was about to punch himself and run away when Lily turned to look at him. It made Severus feel extremly uncomfortable, those amazing emerald eyes, boring into his own. Slowly, a smile spread across her face, lighting up her features and in a small voice, she said "Yes, I'd love to."

Severus couldn't believe what he was hearing, he felt like he had just got winded. Lily's answer took a few seconds to sink in with him, before he flung his arms around her and hugged her. She was going to go! With him!

Lily laughed happily. "Well, if no one was going to ask me i was going to spend the evening with Hagrid." Lily blushed.

Severus swallowed down what he thought about Hagrid.

Lily looked at her watch and sat up, collecting her things. "I'll see you later, OK?"

Severus nodded, he wasn't sure if he should us his voice at the moment.

Lily flashed him a last grin before running off, back towards the castle.

Severus layed down, on his back and stared dreamily up at the sky. Lily Evans was going to a dance...with him
