Disclaimer: Once again, sorry for the last chapter being so short, and I'm trying to make up for it, and I know the updates are getting slower and slower, but I have just been really busy lately. Theres going to be couple more chapters (I'm thinking 3-4 and an epilogue) so keep reading! Also, thank you so much for the reviews! I know that Lily is supposed to love Harry more since he's her son, but I was just trying to show how angry Snape was, because Harry was a part of James, and he couldn't believe how much Lily could love him if she didn't love James. Keep those reviews coming I love them! (Long reviews are very nice to!) And one more thing, if you don't like the Lily & Snape pairing, and you like Lily & James, then don't read it! I don't need bashers, its your choice to read it if you don't want to then don't.

He burst into Dumbledore's room, it resembled his study at Hogwarts a lot. He was so mad at him, he wanted to kill him, although he was sure it was not possible in heaven. But he hated him, no matter what he had done for him, he wouldn't have to do that if he just didn't tell Lily of the prophecy the day she was going to ask to marry him, he shouldn't have interfered.

Dumbledore knew how he had felt about her, he probably even knew before he did. And Dumbledore knew that, after that awful day of calling her the name he was sorry, and he would do anything to take it back. But when Lily was about to forgive him, about to tell him she loves him, he told her about a damn prophecy.

But then Snape remembered, she was going to say no if James hadn't proposed to her first. With every step towards Dumbledore, his rage was growing more and more for the both of them.

"Well hello Severus, I must say I have been waiting to meet with you" Dumbledore said in his calm voice, he must have not seen that Snape was sweating, and his eyes were filled with loath toward him.

Snape took him by his robes and pinned him up against the white wall.

"WHY? Why did you tell Lily about a bloody prophecy when she was about to tell me she loved me, about to FORGIVE me?" he yelled at Dumbledore.

"Severus, you are forgetting that we don't feel pain in heaven, but if we did I am sure I would have lost the feeling in my shoulders." Snape dropped Dumbledore down to the ground, panting.

"I was wondering when you would come to me with this question Severus. I am actually surprised with your reaction, your not as mad as I thought you would be. I thought you would defiantly try to cut off my head, even if we weren't in heaven, that is one of the reasons i didn't tell you back on earth.

He was being sarcastic, now? Snape didn't even smile.

"Severus, I think its time for you to see what would have happened if you and Lily did end up together. Now, here I a guessing, but usually my guesses are correct. Come here, and follow me into the realm. "

Snape just stood there, not moving, so Dumbledore nudged him a bit, and just like into a pensive, they dived into a realm. This wasn't a memory, just what Dumbledore guessed would happen.

There was teenage Lily sitting beside teenage Snape, they were talking but he couldn't hear them. Then, after Lily stopped talking, Snape had a shocked, but happy expression on his face. She probably just proposed, Snape thought. They hugged and kissed, and suddenly the scene was changing.

It was beautiful. The colors scheme was white and red, and he knew that this was their wedding. He looked up and his young adult self and Lily, they looked so happy as they said "I do".

James was sitting in the back, he was invited, or maybe he was crashing the wedding, but Snape couldn't find out because suddenly the scene had changed once again.

There stood lily with a baby in her hands. It was a girl though, not a boy, Harry Potter never existed. Snape was standing by Lily glaring down a the little treasure, he looked so much happier. That could have happened, that could have happened, Snape thought. But once again the scene changed.

Snape and Dumbledore were now standing by Voldemort, watching him kill her, but she wasn't protecting the baby, the baby was already dead. A green shot of light flew right into Lily, she was dead. The scene changed before Snape even had a shocked expression on his face.

He saw Voldemort, touching his left forearm, Snape was pleading, but Voldemort was just laughing his merciless laugh. Snape realized what this was. He had nothing more to live by, Lily was dead, his daughter was dead, and since there was no Harry Potter, Voldemort was still alive and well, and Snape had nothing to live by, he was becoming a death eater. Things were changing once again, only slowly this time.

He was going around, killing everybody in sight, he was a full blown death eater, Voldemort's best. Voldemort was powerful now, at his all time best. The scene changed very quickly and Snape was dying, an auror had killed him, he looked younger , probably only 30. Then, the scene changed for the last time and he was dead. But not in heaven, he was in hell, rotting away along with his beloved death eaters. Lily wasn't there, but then he saw, that way above him, in heaven he suspected, Lily was with James, forever.

He was back in heaven now, out of the realm.

It took a while for this to process in his mind. So, if he had married Lily, Voldemort would have probably killed her because she was a muggleborn anyway, and she would end up with James while I would end up in...hell.

"Now, Severus, are you telling me you aren't happy with the way things are, the way things are going with you and Lily?" asked Dumbledore.

"OF COURSE I don't like it, we're just friends, and you know what I want us to be!" Yelled Snape.

"Well Snape, you may be surprised at how things turn out. I never liked James much, and I see that he has reverted to being his old teenage self. It appears be became jealous of you Severus." Dumbledore was hinting an awful lot.

"Why was he jealous?" Snape was so oblivious.

"Why do you think? She loves you Severus, and not only as a best friend." Dumbledore replied.

"So...soo" Snape stuttered. "So... if he.. I mean if the prophecy... if... if I had married Lily then, we wouldn't end up together?"

"Well, you would end up together for a while Severus. But here, you will be together forever." Dumbledore said.

Snape had registered this in his mind.He wasn't mad at Dumbledore, and he wasn't even mad at James..well at least not for that reason. But now, he was really regretting going off like that on Lily.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He felt lily coming through the door. He had to say he was sorry, he shouldn't have burst out like that, he knew he had really hurt her. The light was shining brightly on him, he was in the spotlight.

"I'm sorry Lily I shouldn't have burst out at you like that. I...I'm glad that you know...that you didn't marry me in our 7th year. Trust me it would have ended up very badly."

Lily was surprised at this. She expected him to yell at her, to tell her that he hated her, but this was a big surprise.

"How do you know that it would end up badly?"

"Dumbledore told me, well he showed me actually. He dark Lord would have killed you, just for being a muggle born, and I would have been a death eater and I would end up in hell and--" Snape stopped, he was rambling "and I would never see you again"

"How does Dumbledore know that?" asked Lily.

"He guessed" replied Snape. "Although he tends to be right most of the time."

Lily giggled. "Yeah, he does."

Lily came to sit, or float by him. "I umm, I think me and James are over. I mean I never loved him, and I think its time to split." Lily said, with no sadness in her voice.

"Lily, I just want you to be happy, I mean you can be with James if you-" he was interrupted by Lily's lips coming towards his. She kissed him, and he began to kiss back.

"Sev, I am happy, and as long as I'm with you I always will be." she said as she pulled away form the kiss.

Snape smiled. Dumbledore was right, he always was.

They were a couple now, the hottest one in heaven. James was now living alone, and being very stubborn about it, almost never coming out of his room. Lily thought it it was because he was depressed, Snape on the other hand thought differently. James wasn't the kind of person, to be depressed, well at least not enough to be in his room alone for hours at a time. He might have been planning some revenge, something to sabotage Snape, and maybe even Lily, and thats what worried Snape the most.

About a week after Snape and Lily had ""gotten together," everybody knew. Thats when none other than Sirius and Lupin went to talk to Snape.

"Hello Severus." said Sirius. They were on speaking terms now, but not on "friendly terms."

Lupin on the other hand was much nicer and more helpful to Snape.

"Well, frankly I'm glad for you. I have no idea what got into James, and I don't know what hes doing in his room all of the time, he wont even talk to us." said Lupin.

Everybody knew about the prophecy know, word had gotten out, and James wasn't to happy about it.

"Severus, I just can't believe about the prophecy, I mean Sirius, me and even James we all knew that you had like Lily, but I mean we never knew--------" he trailed of.

"Yeah well, it wouldn't have ended up so well if Lily hadn't followed the prophecy now would it?" asked Snape sarcastically.

"Yeah I guess not" Sirius had finally spoken up. "I always thought that James and Lily were meant to be together, that they were soul mates, but I guess it was really part of all of this." Sirius said. "I'm sorry, I really am Snape, I never knew James could be so..so... evil after all these years."

"Its okay, really" said Snape. He was friendlier now. He had Lily, James wasn't bothering him, and he was in heaven, he was more...cheerful.

"Yeah, but if theres anything we can do, you know just tell us" said Lupin.

Snape thought about it. "Actually, there is something you can do. " Snape stopped and sighed. "I want you to help me buy Lily the perfect birthday gift."

Note: hmm.. what could the present be... I wonder...
