Chapter Eight
Severus and Lily sat next to each other as they cheered on Gryffindor. It was the last Quidditch match of the year. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Currently Gryffindor was ahead by fifty points. If Gryffindor won the match, they would win the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup.
"Come on, James!" Severus yelled.
James had just spotted the snitch and was diving to the ground. The Slytherin seeker was right on his tail. Suddenly, three feet from the ground, James pulled up and the Slytherin seeker crashed into the ground at full speed. James was flying around the stadium, the Golden Snitch in his fist. He flew low and gave Severus a high five. They would be celebrating in the Gryffindor common room tonight. How Severus wished he could be there.
Severus and Lily walked back to the castle alone after the match, still talking about the amazing victory and if the Slytherin seeker was out of the hospital wing yet. When they got to Severus's room, they opened the door to find it packed with Gryffindors. Severus was appalled at so many people in his room. Several hands pulled him and Lily into the room.
Severus had butterbeer after butterbeer shoved into his hands. They partied till well past midnight. That was when Professor McGonagall had entered the room. She had to set off a dozen fireworks from her wand to gain attention.
"That is enough!" yells McGonagall. "All of you get back to your dormitories! Immediately!"
Everyone was gone within three minutes. Lily stayed behind to say good night to Severus.
"I'll see you tomorrow," she said. After giving Severus a quick kiss, Lily too was gone from the room.
Severus sighed with a smile. "I think it is time that you get some sleep, Mr. Snape," McGonagall said. "Good night."
"Good night, professor," said Severus as she closed the door. Severus locked it quickly with his wand and collapsed on his bed. He was sad that the party had ended so soon. People were starting to really like him. He was happy. Severus fell asleep with a smile on his face.
