DISCLAIMER: The song is Mamma Mia by Abba.

CHAPTER: Roller-Skates.

Severus had to admit that a fair amount of muggle inventions were quite innovative. For example the washing machine was a brilliant idea; it would come in handy to muggles who couldn't simply clean their clothes with a wave of a wand. But for the life of him he couldn't understand the purpose of roller-skates. They were the silliest thing he had ever seen and sometimes they were downright dangerous.

Lily had a pair of roller- skates which she pulled out form under her bed and decided to take a spin around the neighbourhood. Severus sat on the stairs enjoying the sight of Lily skating by in her extremely short pants that she seemed to have in every colour combination imaginable. She was really good at it, graceful even. She was skating by singing some song that was always on the radio:

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed ...

That's when she started to loose her balanced. At first it looked like she would fall forward, she was waving her hands frantically trying to keep her balance, then it looked like she would backwards but the idea of falling on her bum seemed to scare her because she leaned forward and eventually fell that way, like a like she was making snow angles on the concrete pavement.

-o-o-o-o-

"It's not that bad," Severus said cleaning her knee with a piece of cotton. She had propped her leg up on his legs to let him have a look at the bruise that was bleeding slightly. He could have died when she did that. He was actually touching her leg. He had an urge to let his hands travel further up her legs 'those pants are soooo damn short' but he didn't dare ruin the moment by being inappropriate.

"Do you think it will leave a mark?" she asked watching him as he attempted to clean her wound.

"I doubt." He said even tough he had no idea if it would or not. "But one blemish wouldn't kill you anyway."

"One blemish, I already have birthmark the shape of Italy on my..." she stopped mid sentence when it dawned on her what she was saying.

"Yes..." He wanted to know where this birthmark was, because he had never seen it. But he never did find out where it was because Lily changed to topic to why she fell in the first place.

"Didn't you see it?" she asked Severus, watching him as he carefully and very slowly placed band-aid on her knee. "Conner Stonewall threw a water balloon at me."

"I didn't see that?" He really thought that Lily was making this up because she was embarrassed she fell.

She took her knee off his lap and put it back in the normal position. "He got me in the back." She said showing him. "Here feel it."

He wondered if Lily was doing this on purpose, if she was trying to send him to an early grave. However he obliged. He reached out to the spot on her back where she was indicating and touched it. He tried not to touch her for too long because he didn't think him getting all excited would look too good. "Oh it is wet," he said casually. "Why did he throw it at you? Did you do something to him."

"I did nothing to him," she said holding up her long red locked and wrapping it in a bun. "Petunia and I went the same Primary school as him. He was a fat little boy and Petunia use to tease him all the time. She used to call him Jelly Pants, Dough Boy and Rolly Polly and a bunch of other nasty things"

He was not surprised by this.

"It turns out," Lily continued, "that he was so depressed about the teasing that he had to go to boarding school. So now he's back and he's all thin now and always walking by and coming over to see if Petunia notices how thin he is."

"Does she?"

"Yes, she told that he looks anorexic."

Severus laughed at this. Even though he knew Petunia was mean he couldn't help but laugh at what the poor boy's face would have looked like when she told him this. "What did he say?"

"Nothing, he just left. But I'll tell you secret Severus," she then leaned in close to him and whispered in his ear, while letting the palm of her hands rest on his legs. "I think Petunia really liked him when he was chubby." She giggled at this and then she got up and limped away to the kitchen.

He was certain that she had to know what she was doing to him. No sixteen year old girl would touch a guy where she just touched him and not expect anything to happen. He was certain that was the reason why she got up and left the room. If he didn't know any better he's say that Lily Evans was teasing him.

But how could it be. What possible reason could Lily Evans, the most popular girl in school could have for making advances at a social oddball such as himself. No, it had to be his imagination running away from him.

Lily came back form the kitchen with two glasses of cold water. She handed one to Severus and said, "You look hot, you could use some cooling down. " What exactly she meant by that, he didn't know, all he knew is that he liked the sound it. He took the glass of water and sipped it slowly and she took a seat next to him, propping her feet up on the coffee table.

She was silent for a moment but then she seemed to work up the courage to ask him what she had ben planning on asking him all along. "Severus , can't you tell me who it is you fancy."

He scoffed. "No." He didn't want to talk about this. He could only think it highly suspicious that she would ask him such a question.

"Is she in Slytherine."

"No," she said plainly.

"Is she Huffuelpuff?"

"Like I would ever fancy anyone form that house."

"Is she in Ravenclaw?" she asked.

"Who is it in Ravenclaw that you think I should fancy, not Bertha?" he asked laughing at the idea.

"Oh, so she's in Gryffindor," she said sitting up.

"I never said that." But even as the words left his mouth he knew how stupid it sounded. He had eliminated all of the other houses.

Lily then tried to hide the smirk on her face by taking a sip of water. He wondered if she figured it out, that he was actully quite keen on her and that was the reason why she touching him and looking at him and making those little comments... She was trying to make sure.

She looked up at him with a satisfied smile on her face. "Don't worry Severus, I won't tell Alice you fancy her, it would just be our secret."

NOTE: Okay I decided to start to build up the sexual tension.

And I really didn't know the vice content or lack thereof of Mills and Boone, I have never read one in my life. The only Romance books I can stand to read is Nicholas Spareks books.
