Lily sighed.
Of course, he had to try again. Of course, he had to try to mend what couldn't be mended. Of course, he had to apologize. And, of course, he wouldn't be doing this for anyone else, so she had to let him talk.
"Lily, I am really, truly sorry about it," he said. He was pleading. He never pleaded for anything. But, of course, her.
"It's over and done with. We can't fix it," Lily replied, sighing sadly.
"Yes, we can, just forget it happened! I've apologized so many times, Lils, just accept it and we can be friends again," he begged. Only for her, he begged.
"We can get over this. You called me… that. I've been called it so many times before, but coming from you it's different. You were my friend, those others… they were just people, and I could let it slid off me. We can't fix this, Sev. I'm sorry," Lily said.
"But, Lily, we've been friends since before Hogwarts! How can you throw this away over a name?"
"A name? A name, Sev? You called me the worst thing I could be called, and you were my best friend! I wasn't the one who threw it away, you were, so don't blame me for this!" Lily burst.
"Lils, I'm not blaming you, I just want you to forgive me…" Severus said quietly. He was pleading. Again.
"I can't do that, Sev, I just can't," Lily whispered.
"Why not?"
"Everyone's more truthful when they're fighting." Lily sighed.
"Lily, you know I didn't meant it though!" He shouted. Now he was shouting. Now she could be mad at him.
"Then why would you say it?
"I… I just…"
"You said it because you meant it. Don't deny the truth when it's right in front of you like that. Please leave, Severus," Lily said.
"But, Lily-"
"Just leave."
He walked out of the train compartment slowly, not looking back once.
