Chapter Three: A fight for Love
The next morning Lily was still in her bed she didn't want to get up.
And then Tonks came in and saw Lily still crying again.
"Lily what's wrong?" the girl asked her worriedly
"It's… James Potter." Lily answered softly
"Him again? What is he going to do this Time?" Tonks asked angrily
"He said after I came in from the ball that if I even talk to Severus he would hurt him and I don't know who anyone can hurt another human being." Lily said.
"Don't worry James is all talk and No action. Come on your going to be late for Potions." Tonks said trying to comfort Lily.
"Oh alright let's go." Lily sat up. And her eye liner was running down her checks.
"Oh Lily…" Tonks said wiping Lily's make-up off with her finger.
Lily finally got up from bed got ready and walked out of Gryffindor tower and there stood Severus waiting for her.
"Lily…what's wrong?" Severus asked noticing that her cheeks were red and her eye's were poofy
"Nothing, Severus, Nothing's wrong." Lily lied trying not to cry again
"oh alright then. I got a message from Severus that he was waiting for you outside of the Gryffindor portrait" Tonks said
"Okay I'll be right there." Lily said
"I'll tell Severus that."
Tonks went out from Gryffindor tower and told Severus that Lily was on her way down. And told him Merry Christmas. About five minutes later Lily came out in her Gryffindor robe. And had something hidden behind her back.
"Merry Christmas Lily." Severus handed her a small wrapped up present with a red bow tied around it.
"aw thank you Severus. Merry Christmas to you too." And handed him a small present tied in blue ribbon
they opened each other's up at the same time. When Lily opened hers up it was a small golden ring with a diamond on it.
"Oh this is beautiful Severus I absolutely Love it!"
"it's a promise ring." Severus said and looking at his present is was a golden locket with him and Lily together.
"this is wonderful I will treasure it always and forever." Severus said looking at Lily's green eye's.
"look Severus it's snowing!" Lily said glancing at the window.
"want to go out side?" He asked
Lily nodded her head yes and they started to walk outside when they came to a stop in the Great Hall.
"Look of what we have here." A deep Voice said
"do you have to ruin Christmas Potter." Severus said
"What have I told you about hanging around this Slytherin" James said evilly
"you cant tell me what I will and will not do James." Lily said
"you will and you had a chance now Snape will pay a price!." James said
Severus pulled out his wand and got in front of Lily and James pulled out is wand and started the fight
"Locomotor Mortis!" Severus yelled
"Expelliarmus!" James said blocking Severus spell.
"Boys stop it please! I don't want you two to fight over me! I made up my mind!" Lily yelled crying historically.
"Petrificus Totalus" Severus yelled at the top of his lungs and James didn't stop it quick enough so the spell hit James and he couldn't move and fell to the ground.
"so you think you could beat me Potter, you have another thing coming to you." Severus said growling at him.
Lily came running up to Severus hugging him and crying on his shoulder.
"oh thank God your alright Severus, James, not so much you." Lily said
"Come on Lily let's go I don't want Potter to ruin anymore of our Christmas together." Severus said and the two of them walked out of the Castle. And leaving James motionless on the ground.
