Scene 2: To See You Smile
"Play pretend…" Snape muttered derisively, but he couldn't keep the smile off his face. He had just dropped off a very exhilarated Lily Evans on her doorstep. She, for one, had been wholly satisfied with the day's events.
Turning to leave, he had heard a shy voice call out after him. When he went back to find out what the matter was, he had received a very quick peck on the cheek from the furiously blushing 10-year old girl. Said girl had giggled nervously and positively flown through her door in embarrassment, face set to match her flaming red hair.
Snape's grin widened at the memory as he turned the corner onto the road that was Spinner's End. Even the dark atmosphere couldn't put a damper on his sublime sense of security and happiness. He didn't understand her embarrassment at all; it was quite the best kiss he had ever received. Granted, he had recieved few... only the occasional kiss from his mother whenever his father wasn't around… but still...
He slipped silently between a pair of Muggles, and proceeded towards his house. She was so pretty today, when they had been playing in the so called "wand shop" that was really a sandbox with a bunch of sticks in it. It had been then and there that Snape had decided he would do anything for her.
Anything. Anytime. Anywhere.
He raised a hand to knock on his own door, making a solemn promise to himself. And to her.
Lily Evans, I'll pretend forever if it makes you happy.
