Chapter 2

Severus woke from his slumber the next morning. He remembered what had happened the night before, or that morning, to be more exact. He had professed his love to Lily, and she had reciprocated. They had spent an hour or two cuddling on top of the tower, saying sweet things to her, and Lily telling him even sweeter statements. They had departed with a final kiss around 2:30, and he had walked back to the common room smiling and grinning like a fool. After he had reminisced enough, he decided to get dress and go down to breakfast on the gorgeous Saturday morning that stood before him.

When Lily had woken up that morning, she had recalled the night's events and smiled unconsciously. Mary had asked what the problem was, and Lily had just shrugged and got dressed in a gorgeous light green sundress. She walked down to the Great Hall, and when she arrived in the corridor where all the hallways connected, she saw Severus and they walked in together, smiling sadly as they departed for their respective tables.

After breakfast, Severus and Lily met on the lake's shore and smiled as they leaned up against a tree to talk. After a while of talking, Severus and Lily both decided to read a book for fun, and they sat there, Lily's head on Severus' shoulder, both reading their respective genres, until lunch time. When one arrived, Severus told Lily to stay by the tree. He told her that he would be back in a few minutes. Lily smiled, and with that, Severus went to the kitchens where he picked up the picnic basket he had asked the House Elves to prepare.

Lily was not watching when Severus walked back up to her, so she was surprised when he came up behind her and tickled her above her waist. She squaealed. "Sev! That TICKLES!"

Severus laughed, "I know, but you're so cute when you squeal."

Lily decided to move away from her squeals. She noticed the basket. "What's that," she said, pointing at the picnic basket.

"Well, this is the best picnic you're ever going to have." Severus said with a smile.

Severus spread the traditional red-white gingham blanket out on the grass, and set up the rest of the picnic, all of Lily's favorite foods, from Macaroni and Cheese, to tiramisu. It was indeed the perfect picnic, and Lily told Severus so.

"Severus! This is perfect! You didn't have to do this!"

"Yes I did. Just think of it as our first date."

Lily thought on that idea for a moment. "Hm, that sounds like a fabulous idea, Sev. Thank you."

"It's no problem."

And with that, they ate and talked of everything from school, to the next tape coming out in the Muggle World.

Once they had finished eating, Severus and Lily decided to lay down on the gingham picnic blanket and watch the clouds. Lily's head was next to Severus' armpit, and his arm was around her protectively. She was getting sleepy, and she said one more thing before dozing off.

"Severus, this was the best picnic I've ever been on. If only we'd decided to speak up back in third year."

Lily was already napping when Severus spoke.

"If only."

And for the remainder of the afternoon, Lily laid like that while Severus read his novel.
