From a distance, Snape watched. He felt so guilty, he was so in love with her. But she had James now. She wanted James. He needed someone. He needed Lily. He remembered the times he had with her. He remembered the swing in the park and her Hogwarts letter. He remembered dancing with her. But now she had James. And he had nobody. He had to change. He watched Lily dancing with James at the ball, watching her happy without him broke his heart. But the entire time he was watching them, he didn't notice the girl by the refreshments watching him, her heart tearing into a million pieces as well, knowing that she could never have him.

The Marauders were supposed to be plotting. It was June of their final year at Hogwarts. They had to make something big. But James was called away by Lily. Sirius had received a Howler from his parents and was seriously freaked out. And Peter was nowhere to be found, but probably in the kitchens. Remus looked at his plans and sighed. He would have to do this alone. Then, out of the blue, a Mary McDonald sat next to him and began to look at his ingenious plans for the greatest party In Hogwarts. Remus stared. She gave a reassuring glance and he knew. They would do this together.
For Those About To Rock, AC/DC
Voldemort was happy. A new recruit was coming today. Severus Snape. Tom quickly went through the rules and motions, knowing that a fellow Slytherin would already know them. He warned him that he could never leave, that this was a lifetime of servitude, or death. Severus would never be able to contact anyone other than the Death Eaters anymore. Severus swallowed and nodded. He would do this. Everyone else had given up on him, this was his last chance at something.

Severus stared at himself. He couldn't believe that this was who he had become. He regretted everything the minute he heard the prophecy. Lily would die. He would die because of him. If he had just told her the truth, none of this would be happening. He remembered when they were friends. And he missed it. But if he ever had told her that he was in love with her, they could've been happy. But they weren't together. And she was dying because of it. He wished that he had just told her.
When I Come Around, Green Day
Lily was crying. She was in the common room, crying. And Lily never cried. And heaven forbid she cried in front of other people. But she did. In the center of the common room, in front of the world, she cried. She had lost one of her greatest friendships. And James was there. He sat next to her and let her cry. He knew now that he never had a chance with her, and he just wanted her to stop crying. Lily finally realized that James cared about her.
