I don't have the Deathly Hallows book, because i lent it to a friend so all the dialogue in the fight scene is from memory and imagination.

Snape:

I have contemplating what to say for a while now. The sun has gone down, and I really shouldn't be wandering the halls, but I need to think. I can't focus in my dormitory with my stupid dorm mates. They never liked Lily, and now that rumors of our fight was going around school, they were just making it worse.

I start my ascend to Gryffindor tower. It is quite a far walk from the dungeons, but I really need to make up with Lily, and I feel that tomorrow it will be too late. But will she even forgive me? Hopefully with enough persistance she will. I don't want to look desperate but I can't just throw away so many years of friendship.

I'm still confused on what path to take. I'm most certain it will be where my heart is, the Dark Arts. I love Lily. I have for as long as I can remember. Alas, Lily and the Dark Arts don't mix. I don't want to lose one over the other.

"Why won't you just let me see her?!" I yell at Mary MacDonald, one of Lily's friends in Gryffindor. She's a short girl with medium-length brown hair and hazel eyes. Many people consider her pretty but when she's standing next to Lily, its like she goes un-noticed.

"Do you really think she would want to see you?" she sneered. "after you called her that awful word?" she almost seemed satisfied, as if she was happy with my misery.

"Listen, MacDonald. I've been friends with Lily for a long time. And this isn't really none of your business. All I'm asking is for you to call her. Just do it. Or else I'm going to be waiting here all night!" I say through gritted teeth. She glares at me for a few seconds, then sighs.

"Fine. I'm only doing this because I don't want a Slytherin waiting outside the Gryffindor common room. I'll tell her that you're out here." she replies as she walks toward the portrait.

She whispers the password and climbs in through the hole.

I sit down against the wall, on the cold floor. I know that it may take awhile, if she even decides to come out.

I hear the swing of the portrait and I spring up. I fix my ruffled clothes. Out climbs Lily, and at first glance it is obvious that she was crying. She looks extremely angry. I stand dumb-founded, unsure of what to say first. She stands clenching her fists and her jaw looks like its trembling.

"Lily, I-" I start, but she cuts me off.

"Save it. " she snaps.

"Lily please-"
"I only came out here because Mary MacDonald told me you were going to spend the whole night waiting out here."

"Lily I'm sorry!"

"Sorry for what Severus? For calling me a mudblood? You call everyone else of my birth a mudblood, why should I be any different?" She replies coldly.

"Lily, you know that I-"

"Please leave Severus."

"Listen to me!" i say desperately. I know i sound pathetic, but this was a matter of losing my best friend.

"I am done Severus. I gave you so many chances. My friends don't even know why I hang out with you anymore. And what about your little death eater friends? What about them? Thats what you're all aiming to be. Death Eaters. They kill people like me Severus! They kill innocent people! Don't deny it!" she screams.

" You know what Lily, I won't deny it! I won't! Because we all know its true! But I will never hurt you. Never. I will protect you at all costs Lily. Please Lily, you're my best friend.."

"You disgust me Severus. Don't think about bothering me anymore. And you already did hurt me Severus. Leave me alone." she spits out the final words as she flips around and climbs back up into the portrait hole. She glances back on last time and I can clearly see tears on her face.

The portrait closes and all i could hear is my rapid breathing and the beat of my heart. There is an awkward silence filling the room, as if everything stopped and witnessed the fight.

I've only cried a few times, and all of those times have been because of my mother and father and the constant fights they got into. And now, I cry for Lily.
