~Chapter 6: Fall Out~
Severus had always been my best friend since the first day we met. That much was true, however, during our Fifth Year at Hogwarts things changed.
Standing in the courtyard Harry could see his mother waiting, impatiently. Out of the bushes emerged a tall lanky boy with greasy hair. Startled Lily jumped, then immediately began to beg her friend to listen.
"Is it ture?"
"Is what true, Lily?"
"Are you joining in the ranks of Lord Voldemort?"
Harry saw the look in his eyes as if he were a child being caught by his mother. He didn't say one word just simply turned his back from her.
"Severus, please, I've asked you a million times if not more to quit practicing the Dark need to get away from those people."
"This is who I am now. This is what I am good at, why can't you accept this Lily? They can." Pleaded Snape.
"But it doesn't have to be. Please come with me, hang out with James and the boys. You'll like them, I promise."
"They hate me, Lily. Especially that vile James Potter! He practices his "magic" by humiliating me while you idly stand by and watch. Why can't we just have each other, like the old days?"
"Why can't we grow together? And make new friends branch out."
"I have friends, Lily. Just not the kind you like. Fine. Then I'll say goodbye. Let you live out your fantasy world with that pompous idiot James Potter."
"Don't do this Severus."
"Move out of my way you filthy MUDBLOOD!"
The scene went black and then he heard his mother's voice again. It sounded as though she were crying when she spoke.
Severus was lost from me. I couldn't reach him anymore. That day was the darkest I have seen yet. I would do anything to get him back. I loved him. After that school year it seemed as though life would never be the same. James had been the one to pull me from my self destruction and brought a new spark into my life. He has asked me to marry him and I think back to the days when my fantasies of getting married to Severus were the only images I had. What a silly child I was.
