Chapter four : Obliviate
A few days later and school was back and Christmas break was over Severus and Lily were so close that nothing would ever tear them apart.
They were as happy as ever and they were heading to there first class of the morning witch was Charms.
"Good morning Severus and Lily and welcome back hope you two had a wonderful Christmas." Flitwik said
"we did have a great one Professor" Lily said with a smile
Lily and Severus sat next to each other. And they got out there text books.
A few table's over watched James staring, mad as ever He knew he was going to win Lily over but how? He's been planning for months and now James is getting ready to make his move.
After Charms and a few class's later Lily had to drop off something in Gryffindor Tower so she went up and as always Severus waited for her.
"oh good, Lily your back. I was waiting for you." James said sitting on the couch
" What do you want now James don't you realize that I don't like you! You, me, we're never going to be!" Lily said
"oh you will be….Obliviate!" James said pulling his wand out quickly
Lily was confused for a while she didn't know who any one is.
"Who are you?" she asked as her face looked like she never met James before.
"my name is James Potter. And you are Lily Evans, and you and I are boyfriend and girlfriend do you understand?" James asked happily
" Uh yeah….I guess so?" she said and giving James a smile
"do you remember a stupid Slytherin name Severus Snape?" He asked hoping she doesn't remember.
"who?" Lily answered.
"Great… Let's go."
"Go where?" Lily asked
"fallow me. And hold my hand okay!" James said
James and Lily walked out and passed Severus and Severus was confused of what just happened
"Lily? Why are you with him?" Severus asked and staring at the blankness look on Lily's face
"I'm sorry, Do I know you." She asked
"J-James, this guy is starting to scar me. Get me away from him please." She asked James
"why it will be my pleasure Lily." James smiling at Lily and secretly laughing at Severus.
"what in the world just happened? What have you done to Lily?" Severus said angrily
"why I have done nothing to her. She just came to a conclusion that she liked me more than you Severus. And she wanted me to give you this back."
James threw the promise ring on the ground with no hesitation. Then walked away leaving Severus angry, confused and sad all at the same time. Severus thought to himself
"how could this happen in just a few minutes? How could she ever fall for a guy like Potter?" he kept thinking the same questions over and over again. Don't know the reason and couldn't find out why. Severus picked up the ring and looked at it. And he knew that deep down in his heart that Lily still loves him, and he knew that James did something and he knew that he was going to get to the bottom of this. Severus put the ring in his shirt pocket and took out his locket and looked at the picture of him and Lily hugging and smiling under a tree.
"I swear Lily I will get you back and I will get to the bottom of Potter's plan." He said and went to the Great Hall to eat dinner.
When he entered the Great Hall he saw Lily and James kissing. And he did nothing about it. At least not yet. He sat at the Slytherin table by himself and just stared at them.
"This is not like her." Severus thought to himself
"Potter must have charmed her with something. I will get Lily back no matter what the cost." He said to him self
After dinner and every one went to bed, he snuck out and went to Dumbledore's office and as usual Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk reading.
"aw Mr. Snape what are you doing roaming the halls this late at night?" Dumbledore asked
"well sir, I know a friend of mine…" Severus paused
"Lily Evans I believe?" Dumbledore asked
"uh yes sir, I was wondering if a person could do anything to another to make them forget about people they once well fell in love with like, now all of a sudden she doesn't even know that I even exists." Severus stuttered and was trying to make since on what he was saying.
"aw you mean the Obliviate spell" Dumbledore said
"what?" Severus never herd of that spell before
"it is a spell that erases memory or lose of memory." Dumbledore answered
"and if you knew the person who did it, what would I do?"
"tell of course and I think I know who you are talking about." Dumbledore said
"Potter I know sir, he's been trying to take Lily away from me." Severus said
"Away from you?"
"Yes Professor. You see ever since I first laid eye's on Lily Evans I knew she was the one for me and Potter has been trying to well get Lily on his side and fall in love with him." Severus answered shyly
"I'll have a talk with James don't you worry Severus. And by the way, you and Lily make a very cute couple." Dumbledore complemented
"uh thank you sir."
"now you better get off to bed."
"yes sir."
Severus went back to the Slytherin's house and stayed up and read his spell book and learn more about Obliviate.
He stayed up for three hours and finely got the counter spell for it so he laid there on his bed and went to sleep and dreamed about Lily. As he does and waited for the next morning to arrive
