Chapter Seven: Graduation

After James went to Azkaban, Severus and Lily lived the rest of their days at Hogwarts very happily not caring what James Potter is up to.

It was the last day at Hogwarts Severus and Lily spent every waking moment together until graduation.

"Severus, what do you plan on doing after school?" Lily asked.

"I actually don't have an idea. I'm stilling thinking on either being an Auror, working my way up of being the minister of magic which is my dream job or just being a teacher here at Hogwarts." Severus answered

""oh that's cool what about us?" she asked him.

There was a shooting pain in Severus's stomach but he gave no indication to Lily about his pain he didn't want to worry her.

"walk with me to the lake after diner, and I will tell you about us." Severus answered.

"oh alright." Lily said wondering

They continued to walk and talk through out the schools halls, until it was time for dinner. Dinner on ly took them about twenty minutes to eat and once they were done Severus and Lily rushed to the lake, where they admitted that they loved each other after the Christmas ball. They sat on the highest hi. Over looking the moon's refection from the pitch black lake. Severus put his right hand in his pocket and holding Lily's hand with the other as well.

"Severus what are we going to do after Hogwarts?" Lily asked Severus with out knowing what was about to happen

"Well Lily, we have known each other since we were ten years old. And we've been in love for seven years, although we were keeping our love a secret. Lily Evans, I love you so much, I will do anything for you. Your eye's are the most prettiest of them all. Lily I will give my life to save yours." He said.

"I will protect you, I will comfort you, I will take care of you through sickness and in health, rather we are rich or for poor". He continued

"Severus?" Lily said softly confused.

"Lily Evans, you will make me the happiest wizard in the world if you will marry me?" Severus asked pulling out a small box opening it up and there lie a gold ring in side it.

Lily was shocked, stunned, and happy all at the same time. She didn't know what to think. All she knew was that she was going to be happy with him for the rest of her life. Severus is waiting patiently for a response

"YES!" she shouted and jumped on Severus giving him a hug. Severus was as happy as ever. He took the ring out and gently slipped it on Lily's finger.

"wow, we are getting married." Lily said.

"Mrs. Lily Snape! It has a wonderful ring to it!" she added

"we are going to be very happy together Lily. I will make you happy." Snape said smiling at Lily

The next morning Severus was waiting for Lily to get done packing and getting ready for graduation. Lily walked out of Gryffindor tower for the last time. Both walked to the main hall where they had been eating their meals. Every thing was decorated, chairs were out, and all the teachers were sitting at their table and Dumbledore standing at his podium

"Lets take our seats together Severus." Lily suggested

"we cant remember? We have to sit with our houses." Severus answered

"oh alright. Meet me at the corridor. Okay?" Lily said facing Severus holding his hands.

"Okay soon after we're finished." Severus kissed Lily and both took their seat.

All the teachers stood up and the band was playing music.

"as we all know this is your last day here at Hogwarts. The staff will miss you dearly." Dumbledore started to speak.

"as you well know your seven years here has gone by fast you had your adventures your troubles, and luckily will never have to take a test again." Dumbledore said jokingly "but before I release you and give you your diplomas I have a few words to say. Life is a test Life is dangerous Life is precious. You must always keep your back because you never know when there's danger. But you don't have to be afraid of living your life. Go on and do great things meet different people and do your best in everything you do. You do great things in the wizarding world then the wizarding world will do great things for you just remember who you are were your from. And with that said I here by state that Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff are now graduates from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry" Diplomas fell from the ceiling and once everyone got theirs Severus and Lily meet at the front entrance of the dining hall.

"well Hogwarts is over what do you want to do now?" Lily asked
