Chapter six
It was the end of charms class and Severus and Lily went to Dumbledore's office to thank him for stopping James' evil plan.
"why hello Ms. Evans what can I do you for." Dumbledore asked not noticing that Severus was right next to her
"I just wanted to thank you for everything you done to help us Professor." Lily said
"yes thank you sir." Severus repeated.
"everything is going to be fine I told James never to come near you two again." Dumbledore said in a firm tone "now run along now you will miss your next class"
"yes sir, thank you sir." Both said and rushed out of Dumbledore's office.
They hurried off not to Potions but to the lake where they were on Christmas Eve. They have been talking about what has happened.
"I know it wasn't my fault but for some strange reason I feel like it is. I feel as though I knew what was going on but yet I couldn't help my self going along with James' plan. It was like I was agreeing with him even though I didn't want to." Lily said lowering her eyes to the grown.
"Lily, its not your fault the spell that Potter gave you had that effect your mine knows what was going on but your body doesn't it's understandable. And listen nothing, nothing is going to stop our love Potter is not going to get what's so dear and precious from me. He's not going to take you away from me. Alright?" he said softly hugging her comforting her.
Around the same time James was furious and angry about the whole situation with Snape.
James pondered hard thinking what to do to get revenge on Snape.
"what to do what to do. Wait!" James rushed to the library and did some research. About a hour he did not cross anything thing suit him he wanted a killing curse but what? Then all of a sudden a chapter caught his eye "the three unforgivable" he read and he liked what he had read he knew exactly what to do to get Lily back. James rushed to get his invisibility cloak and went to potions. He wrote a note that has the exact hand writing of Lily's and sat it on Snape's desk knowing he would get it
soon after Severus arrives he opened to read it. He was happy that Lily would write to him. It was getting dark and after dinner Severus went to the lake where he thought Lily was going to met him afterwards. And he waited till she arrived but with out noticing who it was James came out from the darkness and pointing his wand out at Severus.
"what do you want Potter?" Severus yelled pulling out his wand as well.
"you know what I want Snape." James said giving Severus an evil look
"she will never love you Potter she loves me!"
"well well well. Look what we have here.." James gave a signal and two Gryffindor's came out from the shadows and Lily was with them but in fear.
"LET GO OF LILY OR YOU WILL GET IT!" Severus yelled.
"SEVERUS!" Lily shouted fearfully
"SHUT UP LILY!.
"Crucio!" James shouted and a light from his wand shot Severus. Severus' whole body shivered and a loud screech coming from Severus.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!! SEVERUS!!!!!!!!!" Lily started to cry
"LET ME GO YOU FOOLS JAMES YOU WILL GET PUNISHED FOR THIS" Lily sobbing trying to get away.
"Lily" Severus struggled to say while every bone in his body hurt like hell.
"Severus don't give up fight back." Lily yelled
Severus pulled out his wand again and tried to do the same curse James did on him. But his cursed missed and he said it again. And this time it hit James directly James lost his train of thought. And his curse backfired and he fell to the ground hard.
"you lying bastered" Severus got enough strength to walk towards him.
"please… please Severus" James asked with fear
"why so you can kill me! I know all three curses and you tricked me!" his wand pointing at James face Severus can look in James eyes and see the fear.
" you are a hypocrite" Severus spook.
"Severus please don't kill him" Lily shouted crying begging Severus not to try the same thing as James tried to pull on him
"your right Lily James need to be punished." Severus said still having his wand to James face. And James body shaking uncontrollably.
"Severus let Dumbledore handle this let the ministry of magic handle James this is not you please Severus you don't kill." Lily pleading
Severus tried to ignore Lily. Until she said something that he never though would come out of her mouth.
"If you don't stop this Severus I will stop loving you. I will never talk to you again." Lily said crying still. Falling to her knees.
Then Severus looked up and all his anger towards to sadness and guilt.
"Potter I will report you," before he knew it Dumbledore showed up.
"what's all this?" Dumbledore ask suspiciously at Severus
"sir! James! Tried-tried to kill Severus. He did an unforgivable curse the crucio curse Lily weeping nonstop
Dumbledore couldn't believe this but looking in Lily's eyes he knew he had to.
"James you did something that no wizard ever tried doing other than the Dark Lord you know you will be going to Azkaban" Dumbledore said
"NO! NO! this couldn't be! James was scared. Then Fudge arrived
"James Potter you are under arrest"
with out any questions asked Fudge came towards him and grabbed James by the arm and vanished in mid air.
Severus and Lily knew that all this was over that they didn't have to worry about James anymore. Lily rushed to James not carrying that Dumbledore was there kissing and hugging Severus.
"Severus I love you." Lily said
"I love you too. You didn't mean what you said earlier if I had killed him you wouldn't love me?" Severus asked
"some what yes and somewhat no. I will still love you no matter what I would just be seriously mad at you." Lily said still kissing him
"understandable I wasn't really going to kill him I was just edging him on.
"oh I get it. You just wanted pay back." Lily laughed
"and if he did anything to you….you know I would kill him regardless."
"yeah." Lily said and after Dumbledore left Severus and Lily held hands and went inside Hogwarts and pretended that nothing happened and had dinner and went to bed for another day.
