Chapter Two: Christmas Party

It was the night at the party and Lily was getting ready for the ball. She was doing the last little touch up on make-up and then she was putting on her glass heels. Once she was finished she headed down and out of the Gryffindor tower and there was Severus dressed in a black tux and his long silky black hair was combed back and his tux shoes was so shiny that she could even see her own face in them.

"Lillian Evans" Severus said bowing and gently holding her hand

Lily smiled at him and stood beside him. Taking his arm and started to head for the ball.

They just got there when the first song begin to play.

"would you like to dance?" Severus asked

"yes I would" Lily answered.

They held each other close so close even the slightest breath would hit the others face.

Snow began to fall from the sky. And the night grew longer and Severus and Lily had not stopped dancing. They were having so much fun.

James was looking over Severus and Lily dancing together he was so angry with Severus he wanted to hurt him not just hurt kill. But how to do it?

"Severus, Potter Is staring at me again. I thought you put a stop to it."

"I thought so too. Let him be though this is our night." Snape said

The night went on and on students and staff were beginning to leave and only a few people were at the ball still dancing Severus and Lily still looking in each other's eye's.

"Lily you have the most beautiful green eye's." Snape said in a mere whisper.

Lily was blushing and her face turned red for the first time.

"come with me I want to show you something." Snape took Lily's hand and lead her outside of the castle.

"Severus we're not suppose to be out when it's dark." Lily said.

"don't worry it will only be for a few minute's." Severus said

Severus took Lily to a lake where the moon shines and illuminate the sky and the star's twinkling.

"wow this is so wonderful Severus." Lily was amused by the sight.

"yes it is. When I look up at the stars they make me remind of you. You are a star the most prettiest of them all." Severus held up his arm and wrapping his arm around Lily's shoulder. And Lily was so astounded by what he said she was speechless.

"Lily, I have to tell you something I have been hiding since we were kids." Severus started to say.

"what is it Severus?"

"I have loved you since the first day I saw you." Severus confessed

Lily couldn't believe what she had just heard. She didn't know that he felt the same way that she had with him.

"I have too loved you Severus." Lily said softly

Snape's eyes grew wider. And for a moment the spoke not a word and looked at each other in disbelief. And with out even thinking Lily and Severus slowly kissed and they felt as though they were the only two people on the Earth.

It was about two o' clock in the morning before they realized how late it was.

"oh my look at the time. I loved it Severus but I think we should be getting in I don't want either of us to get in trouble by Headmaster Dumbledore."

"True come on Lily"

They headed back inside of Hogwarts and when Severus dropped Lily off at the Gryffindor floor they kissed good night and when Lily went to the tower there sat James Potter on the couch. And giving Lily an evil smirk.

"well well well a little late are we Lily Evens? Where were you and Snape? I saw you two leave the ball?" James asked

"It's none of your business James now please leave me alone."

"I believe it is my business, I don't want that Slytherin Snape being with my girl." James said angrily

"I am NOT your girl James what don't you understand! I love Severus! Not you!" Lily said frightfully

"you'll come around I'm sure of it if you ever want to see Snape again you won't communicate with him what so ever! And that's not a threat that's a promise!" said James

Lily began to cry and ran up to her bed and laid there just hoping that nothing would ever happen she doesn't know what to do. Should she tell the Head master? or tell Severus? Lily is so confused of what she should do.
