Snape and Lily had first class transfiguration together; they sat beside each other with James and Peter in front of them. It was an hour into the class and Lily was trying to turn her pet cat into a goblet, she looked around her to see how far the rest of the class had progressed. James and Peter were sabotaging everyone else's goblets, typical; Snape was staring off into space, strange, very strange. " Severus, are you ok?"

"Yes, I'm just thinking, he responded.

"About what?"

"Well if you must know Alice, she's interesting".

"Oh, you like her, should have realized sooner, your always staring at her, its quite eerie actually", Lily said.

"I can't help it though, she's very smart and pretty."

"Yes but she's friends with Griffindor's, I thought you made a really big exception socializing with me."

"I did but I can tolerate Remus and even Peter and Dylan isn't that bad, it's just Sirius and James, they drive me crazy."

"Welcome to my world," Lily said glancing over in James direction. "I could talk to her if you want," Lily added.

"I don't know, what if she doesn't like me", Severus told Lily, "I don't think I could take the rejection."

"Trust me I'll be very discreet about it, and I won't tell James or Sirius ok."

"Tell us what?" James asked suddenly interested in what was going on behind him.

"Oh, nothing," Lily said smiling.

"I'm not so sure about this, I really like her and I don't want to ruin this before it even starts", Severus said after James lost interest in their conversation.

The bell went before Lily had time to respond, which was perfect for her because Severus didn't have time to talk her out of it. Lily ran out of the room as fast as she could searching for Alice. Lily loved match making even if the couples didn't work out it was fun.

"Owwwwwww!" Yelled Dylan as her and Lily collided together.

"Wow," Alice said laughing, "are you two ok?"

"Yupp Yupp," Dylan said. Followed by a nod from Lily.

"Alice I have to talk to you," Lily said to Alice.

"About what?" Sirius and Remus asked.

"Nothing," Lily quickly said and she dragged Alice away from the group.

"What was that about?" Sirius asked Dylan.

"How the hell should I know," Dylan replied, having some idea as to what they were talking about.

"So Alice, who do you think is hot?" Lily asked Alice.

"Umm I don't know, that Spencer kid that sits in front of Molly and Arthur is ok, why?" Alice asked.

"Ummm, ok, how about this, hey Alice who do you think is the hottest in the Slytheran house?" Lily asked.

"Uh, well… I don't know, I guess Severus he's pretty good looking," Alice answered, "What's with the questions though, one would think that you're asking for someone else maybe?"

"One would wouldn't they," Lily said nervously, "people are crazy though so you cant really trust what they think, I have to go, I'll see you in fifth period." With that Lily ran off. Dylan was walking down the hall heading outside for some fresh air. She walked down by the lake staring at the pretty swirls off blue and pink in the sky, she was supposed to be in third but would much rather be here. She lit up a smoke pulled out her sketchbook and began to draw her scenery. "Ahem". Dylan heard a noise from behind her, a smile spread on her face thinking it was Sirius.

"Siri… oh its you," Dylan said disappointedly to what (in her opinion) was a very grotesque figure in front of her. "Luscious".

"Hello dear, and what may I ask are you drawing," he said leaning in to look at Dylan's sketchbook.

"Nothing," She said pulling away and throwing her cigarette but in front of his feet. She had gotten board of drawing her surroundings so instead she was drawing her friends, mostly Sirius. Luscious leaned in closer to Dylan holding her from moving away. Dylan head butted him, kneed him in the face and punched him knocking him out cold.

"Hey Dylan!" Alice called completely oblivious to luscious on the ground like it happens all the time, " I have got to tell you something."

"What?"

"I think Severus likes me, I'm not sure though, what should I do?"

"Well how about me and you and Severus go to the movies, it'll be date-like but since I'm there casual in case he doesn't like you."

"Sure," Alice agreed suddenly having a genius idea come to thought.

"Alright I'll invite him, well go tomorrow at 7:00, oh by the way, what are you planning on wearing?" Dylan asked.

The girls walked back inside the school, deciding what to wear, what movie to watch and what to say to Severus.

"Hey guys," Alice and Dylan said to the Gryffindor house.

"Hey". They heard yelled back.

"I'll see yea tomorrow," Alice called as she walked away to her own house common room.

"Bye", the entirety of the house said as she left.

Dylan sat on the couch, "can I draw you?" she asked Sirius and James who were talking about their next prank on poor Severus.

"I'd be honored," Sirius told her with longing tone in his voice that only made Dylan smile inside with hope.

"Can we see it," James added.

"No," answered Dylan.

"Why?" they both asked.

"Because," She replied.

"Fine," they answered knowing fully well that they'd find a way to see it. After four hours of talking and drawing and laughing the whole group fell asleep in the common room. Lily sleeping beside James with her head on his shoulder. Dylan beside James with her feet on Sirius's lap resting against his side and Peter and Remus lying on the floor where Sirius and James were trying to throw popcorn in there mouths.
