Note: Things will start to get better in the chapter from this point on. Things will also start to change, so welcome to the world of redemption. Also in later chapters I will be putting in the point of views from Marlene and some of the Marauders. Let me know who you would like to have a P.O.V of, and I was thinking that eventually I would add a Marlene/Sirius P.O.V though keep in mind it would still be mainly James and Lily. That though would be until in later chapters. Let me know what you think!


Lily:

This week was very quite for Lily Evans. She went to her classes and did her homework. Her usual day to day scheduled, other than the fact that she wasn't seen anywhere with one Severus Snape. By this point it seemed that everyone in the whole castle knew about what had happened last week. So that meant that everyone knew these three things: one: Lily wanted nothing to do with Severus Snape and avoided him whenever possible. Two: she loathed James Potter even more than before. Three: She was now best friends with Marlene McKinnon. Even though Lily wanted nothing to do with James Severus there would always be a small part of her that would miss Severus. Potter on the other hand, "Good Riddance to him" she thought. She wouldn't acknowledge him, now that she would help it.

It was an early Monday morning and Lily was the first one up in her dorm, as usual. The sun was raise rising over the lake, most people wouldn't be up for at lease another hour. She was more of a morning person, she could never understand how people could sleep until noon on weekends.

She got up out, took a quick shower, and got dressed, before she headed downstairs for breakfast. The grand hall was almost completely empty, except for a couple Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins. Lily was the only Gryffindor at the table, she didn't mind so much. After a while she looked behind her, she had the feeling that someone was watching her. She was right, it turned out to be none other than Severus Snape. Once their eyes met he quickly looked back down. His body language was tense, like he was debating something. Not wanting to wait and find out she picked up her back and headed to her first class, which was Transfigurations.

Lily usually arrived early, sometimes before Professor McGonagall, like today. To pass the time she took out a piece of parchment and started to take notes for the section on the Gemino Curse or otherwise known as the Doubling Charm. They would just be starting it and she wanted to be prepared. About half way through the section she heard footsteps as someone entered the classroom.

'It's probably just Professor McGonagall..' she thought so sh didn't bother to look up. She was wrong because the person had cleared their throat, and it was too deep to be McGonagall's. Glancing out of the corner of her eyes she saw that it was James Potter. Surprised she looked up before she could stop herself.

'What was he doing here? and alone too...' she though, 'He's up to something.' she concluded. She looked at him deciding it was useless to avoid him since she had already looked up.

"Potter.." She said darkly, her face showing no emotion, although her eyes were a different story.

She saw him take a deep breath before saying that last thing she would probably ever expect, "I wanted to apologize for the other day with Sni- I mean Snape."

Although Lily was very much surprised she didn't let it show. She looked at him, thinking that he was lying at first, but came to the conclusion that he wasn't. He was actually telling the truth, James Potter had just apologized. She could tell that he wanted to and was about to say more, but didn't get the chance to when Professor McGonagall, along with several other students came in. James quickly took his seat once he saw Sirius, Remus, and Peter enter the room. She kept glancing over at James's table as Sirius Black sat down.

"Hey Lils, you ok?" Lily jumped slightly and turned to find Marlene McKinnon.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking.." She replied, it was basically the truth.

Marlene took her seat deciding not to push the subject. As soon as class ended, Lily, usually the last one to leave the classroom, was the first to leave, so that she didn't have to talk to Potter again. However, she didn't have to worry about that because he hadn't tried to talk to her again for the rest of the day. Which was weird for him.

Later that day, Lily had just finished her last class and Marlene and her were walking down the halls. Lily felt a nudge on her side from Marlene, who pointed over at a group of boys. It was Potter and them.

"I've been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes, you ok?" She heard Sirius ask.

Normally she didn't eavesdrop, but there was something about this that she couldn't help not listen to.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Padfoot." He said trying to wave it off, but Lily knew it was probably more.

"Anyway..." Sirius said not sounding totally convinced, "I wanted to know if you wanted to go and find Snivellus?"

At this Lily's fists clenched out of habit, like she didn't already know his answer anyway. This next part Lily wouldn't have believed if she hadn't seen his lips move, speaking the words, ""i'm good Padfoot, I think I might go back to the common room.." He said, "See ya, later." He bid his friends goodbye before turning away and leaving his best friends standing there in shock.

Lily herself was a very shocked at his answer. What was up with Potter? He never use to pass up a chance to mess with Severus. Something was definitively up. Could this possibly be a form of redemption? She quickly shook this though away, because it just seemed unrealistic.
