Chapter 4: Lily again

Lily was still full of panic and uncertainty as she was racing through the halls, not sure of where she was going but knowing where she didn't want to be. Why did that kid say he was her mother? Today was way too confusing for her…

Just then as she was running she ran into someone with a black robe and they both fell over. Lily gasped as she saw who it was. They guy looked like the snape she knew, only older!

"You look like my friend Snape, only older!" she gasped as she saw the lines in his forehead and the difference of his hair.

"Lilly, you will not believe this.." Snape said "but I am! I am Sevrus Snape and I'm now an important professor at Hogwarts and I have come back in time to save you!"

"WTF are you talking about?" Lily replied hastily with a tinge of insecurity.

Snape didn't know if Lily would believe it, but he tried to explain. "I came." he said ",to save you from marrying James Potter and destroying your entire life!"

Lily nearly jumped a mile back from hearing what this older Snape guy said. Marry James Potter? That James Potter? James Potter who was always a bully, who was always a jock, was now going to be her husband? Lily nearly screamed in fear and insanity. "Ok" she said "I think you got your facts wrong but I'm not going to be marrying James Potter of all people! That's just stupid!"

"No lily, listen to me!" Snape pleaded "its true, but.." he swallowed a little cause he didn't know if he could tell her this without going completely insane from how improbably it was "…but… theres someone who does love you, and you can marry him. Its someone who you've always known but never really knew… its someone who has been waiting for you all this time and doesn't know if you've been waiting for him… its someone who never gave up even if you did… its someone near you… its…"

"Who?" Lily asked, puzzled at this strange puzzle.

"No I cant say" Snape suddenly said, turning away

Lily couldn't believe it. Why wouldn't Snape tell her? "stop it Snape you have to tell me or else I'll kill myself! I'm not marrying James Potter!"

Snake spluttered out inmeaningful words, barely able to say what he wanted to say "…its…ITS ME LILY!" Snake suddenly bursted out in tears and alarm "IVE LOVED YOU SINCE WE FIRST MET!"

He knew he was probably pretty stupid doing it like that but he knew that lily had to know.

"Lily potter, will you marry me?"

Lily then looked and was astonished nearly to death when he saw that Snape had held out a wedding ring for her! It was silver and polished and full of rubies and diamonds to the very inside! She had never seen a more expensive ring in her whole entire life! She could barely breath anymore and fainted soon after.

"Lilly are you ok?" Snape asked hesitantly as he saw lily laying on the ground with her hand on her heart. It looked like she was sleeping like an angle… He almost cried at the sight because it was so beautiful, like an evening sunset setting on the brilliant blue sea. "I love you, Lily" Snape sighed as he bent over lily and picked her up in his arms. Then he sneakily slithered away into the night…
