Severus lay in bed that night, thinking of the meeting that had occurred that evening. Bellatrix had been worse than he remembered her and it made him feel horrible. He ached, wishing that Lily were with him, or at least thinking about him.
He thought about when he had first seen Lily, playing on a swing with her sister…
"Hey, Sev, what are you up to?"
He jerked slightly, not realizing that he had been moaning in his sleep, for he had been asleep.
"Trying to sleep," he grumbled, ignoring the pain in his heart, and rolled over. Just as he managed to get to sleep, he heard, "Oh, well, good luck with that."
He slept that night, his dreams filled with Lily Evans.

The sunlight filtered through her bed curtains, and she squinted against the glare.
Her book, which had been left open on her stomach, was now on the floor. She glared down at it, remembering her almost vivid dream from the night before.
"Hey, Lil, the bathroom is open if you need it," Mary said cheerfully, running a damp towel through her hair and throwing it in the corner.
Lily shrugged, not moving from her spot on the bed.
Mary looked at her more closely. "You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" she said, making it more of an announcement than a question.
Lily shook her head… no, she was dreaming about Sev and James, both of them dying for her…
Wait, both of them? Since when had they both been on the same side?

James woke up, hearing the usual morning sounds. Remus was already reading his book on his bed, Sirius was just now waking up and Peter was still snoring.
"Hey, Rem, what do you think is going to happen?" James asked, trying to keep his voice down.
Remus looked up, leaving his finger to mark his spot. "What do you mean?" he asked, confusion showing in his eyes.
James paused for a second. What did he mean?
"You know; the war outside with Voldemort…" he said, his voice fading slightly as he thought over what else he wanted to say, "and the war inside the school. Do you think I'll ever get a chance with Lily?" he asked, his uncertainty showing in his eyes.
Remus thought over his answer. "I think you have a very reasonable chance with her," he said. Very reasonable, indeed, he thought, considering I think she's finally coming around.
A/N: I hope that exceeds exceptions with you, considering that a lot of that was supposed to be for tomorrow. You weren't supposed to get James till then, but I guess this will have to do… did I answer a little bit with Snape's side? I hope so… um, review?
