"Sev, you've been carrying my books for three years!" Lily was walking next to Severus as they went to Potions, which was both of their favorite and best subjects.

"So? We're best friends! It's the least I could do." They smiled at each other.

"You really are my best friend, Sev." Severus couldn't help but love Lily. They've been friends since before she knew she was a witch… Sort of.

BOOM! The corridor filled with smoke and coughing.

"We missed him, Prongs!" Severus heard Sirius yell from somewhere above them.

"Stop being mean, James! It doesn't make you cool!" Lily shouted angrily. The smoke disappeared quickly. Lily saw Severus was on his knees trying to pick up the books he dropped.

Lily kneeled down quickly, helping him.

"Let's go, mate. Ickle emo boy wants to cry about what happened!" James yelled.

"Shut up, you stupid GIT!" Lily yelled again. Severus stayed silent, staring at the ground. "What a douche bag… honestly, I don't understand why girls drool over them…"

Severus couldn't help but smile. At least he knew Lily didn't like James…
