Lily had awoken feeling happier than she had ever been. She practically danced around the room her roommates were long gone and Lily didn't really care. She strutted over towards her trunk to grab her uniform before making her way to the bathroom to change. She couldn't wait to see Severina again!

Severina wanted to cry, which is rare because Severina and Severus never cried, ever. So that much meant something. She didn't want to cry because she had newly formed bruises and minor burns, or cry because she was sprawled on the bathroom floor of Moaning Myrtle. She wanted to cry because of the incident last night.
Severina pondered if she was born with the wrong gender because she was starting to hate being a female seeing as though they were all just so troublesome, but then again Lily wasn't annoying from time to time. Severina sighed closing her eyes remembering what happened.

Flashback:
After lunch everyone headed to class, Regulus had stopped Severina asking if it was really the Severus Snape that he knew. She smiled a little and nodded, "it's me Regs," she smirked knowing how much he hated that nickname. Regulus frowned but he didn't mind that she called him that. "We should head to class," Severina nodded. The two walked together but behind them were the three Marauders who happened to have the same classes as the two Slytherin's, so they decided to walk together. This of course didn't go unnoticed by some girls from different houses, one girl in particular glared before stomping off.

Classes soon passed and dinner arrived. Regulus decided to sit with Severina at the Gryffindor's table, even though he really didn't want to, but he did so anyways. Sirius was surprised and smiled at his little brother, but the other ignored him. Soon enough they chatted and ate, the majority of people in the room watched in surprise. From what they remembered the Marauders hated Severina, or at least Severus Snape, but now they were sitting together, eating, and talking.

A few girls from some of the tables didn't like the sight of it. Just because the once sharp-tongued, bad skinned, greasy-headed Snape turned into a girl did not mean that she was allowed to talk to the Marauders and Regulus! They knew Regulus and Snape were friends before, but now she was a girl! They didn't like that, not at all.

Severus continued to eat her food, not really caring about anything at all. She listened to the Marauders conversations, talked to Regulus every now and then, added her snide comments into one of the Marauders' pranks, and allowed Lily to place food on her plate. Regulus too had suddenly placed food on her plate, especially food he knew that she liked.

"Here," Regulus said, placing a sweet delicacy in front of her. "I know you really like this, even though it's just too sweet..." Severina chuckled, the Marauders silently watched as she ate. Once dinner was over she bid Lily good night, and told Regulus that she was going to go talk to Dumbledore and bid him good night as well.

Severina knew she was being followed, once they were far from the the majority of everyone the girls who had been following Severina attacked her. Severina grunted in displeasure as the girls tugged on her hair and dragged her to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom where the dead girl squeaked and watched as Severina was beaten. Severina would've fought back if she had her wand with her, but she had left it back in her new dorm, and the hexes were minor ones anyways. Teasing them was a bad idea, but she couldn't help it.

"What? Don't know anymore hexes so you girls decide to use muggle violence instead?" Severina smirked arogantly causing the girls to fume.
Once the girls were done they threatened her. "Stay away from the Marauders and Reggy!" Severina rolled her eyes at Regulus's nickname then looked up to see who it was, much to her surprise it was a girl from the same house as she was, how disappointing.

"My, my jealous I see," Severina chuckled. "What an ugly sight.."

Flashback end:

Severina sat up, "I really need to stop teasing my enemies." Moaning Myrtle popped out from one of the stalls and floated towards Severina, eyeing her for a moment.
"Y-you're that one kid..." she said, remembering that she had heard one of the girl's yell out 'Snape'.

Severina nodded, "Severus but my real name is Severina." Severina had gotten use to Moaning Myrtle and would often come visit when she was still Severus. "I apologize about last night, I must be heading to breakfast now." Moaning Myrtle nodded before returning to the stall.

Lily looked at the double doors when it screeched open but deflated when it wasn't Severina. Regulus was once again sitting at the Gryffindor's table, also waiting.
"Lily, relax she'll come." James said eating his breakfast.

Lily turned to look at James, she eyed him. He looked terrible, "you look terrible. So do you Sirius."

"So blunt," James muttered but nodded anyways. Sirius turned to glare at their fourth member, Peter Pettigrew.

"It's his fault," Sirius accused pointing to Peter, Peter squeaked an apology.

"Don't blame him," Remus said, tiredly.

"You look just as bad as they do, Remus." Lily said, "what happened?"

"Thanks, I guess." Remus smiled weakly. "Peter wouldn't stop asking us questions about Severina, and saying that were joking all night until Sirius threatened to hex him and throw his body in the forbidden forest," Remus answered. Lily shook her head, typical.

Regulus continued to stare at the door, and once again the double door opened. Regulus frowned at the sight, it was Severina bruised and her robes were slightly torn. Lily had immediately jumped out of her seat, surprinsgy Regulus and the Marauders. "Sev! What happened!?"

At the table Peter stared wide eyed, "Snivellous isn't ugly..." Regulus glared dangerously at him opening his mouth to say something but his brother cut him off.
"There you go, now shut up."

Severina greeted Lily before taking a seat beside Regulus. Lily stood hands on her hips, scowling, "Severina Prince, don't you dare ignore me. Answer me!"
Severina sighed, Lily was acting all motherly again just like back in the days. "Lily, can I at least eat first?"
Lily sat down, "eat and talk."

Severina grumbled but did so anyways. "A couple of girls from some houses decided to gang up on me last night," she shrugged. "Nothing big."

"Nothing big? NOTHING BIG?!" Lily shouted snapping Sirius and James awake and made Remus's sensitive ears ring.

"I'm fine," Severina assured.

"Will you tell me who they are?"

"No, I couldn't see their faces and there's no point. They were just love struck jealous girls." Severina snorted.

"Jealous girls?" Regulus frowned. It must've been his brother's fangirls.

Severina nodded, "now stop asking questions and let me eat."

Sirius, now fully awake, watched as the Slytherin across from him devour food that most girls usually didn't eat.
"Don't you think you're eating too much?" James asked curiously.

Lily laughed, her sudden change in mood surprised everyone. "She wouldn't gain weight from it. Maybe just a bit but never a lot. She eats a lot!" Severina rolled her eyes but they landed on one of the girls from last night, she couldn't help but smirk arrogantly.

Sirius had been watching the whole exchange, he remembered that girl from the Ravenclaw's table. She had confessed to him once in his second year, but he had rejected her. He never was one for serious relationships anyways, what was her name again? Sarah? Samantha? Sirius shrugged averting his gaze back to the Snivellous...err Severina.

She was different physically but she was the same Severus Snape that he knew during his first year in Hogwarts and so on. Sirius didn't realize he was staring until Severina snapped him back into reality.

"Black, is there a reason why you are staring at me?" Sirius blinked and Regulus stared at his brother with an unreadable expression.
"I wasn't staring at you, there isn't much to look at," Sirius cursed at his cocky side, he had been hoping they'd start anew but it was going bad already. "I was staring at the girl behind you."

Severina pursed her lips, "are you really related to him, Regs?" Sirius was once again surprised. No one ever called Regulus by that nickname except him, at least when they had been close. Regulus could only nod.

Review? :)
