DISCLAIMER IN THE FIRST CHAPTER
THANK YOU TO ALL THE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO HAVE REVIEWED
THE MEETING
Severus got up in the morning after a night of binge drinking. He stumbled around before reaching his medicine cabinet, he took a headache potion waited another minute before downing a hangover potion.
After completing his morning ablutions, he ate some light breakfast and then started to plan. He has to find a way to contact Lily.
However, getting Lily alone will be impossible and he has no intention of willingly be in the same room as James Potter in the near future.
Therefore, he decided to test his luck and write a letter to Lily telling to meet him. He summoned some parchment, quills, and ink.
Dear Lily,
I hope everything is fine with you. I wish to meet you Lily, just for old times' sake. I swear I will not do anything to harm you or your child. Oh! Congratulations on the good news. I beg your forgiveness Lily, please just this one time. I beg you
Forever yours,
Sev
He attached the letter to his owl Ventus, watched him fly away into the horizon.
Ventus was one of his kinds. He was a hybrid owl from a raven and an eagle owl. The owl could travel at lightning speed and being jet black in color, he could easily hide himself in the night. Severus really loved his owl, he was really an intelligent companion to Severus.
Two days had passed without any reply, Severus almost lost in hope for getting any reply from Lily. He had really lost his only and best friend in the world.
He was in a world of despair. The thought of Lily hating him was really eating him alive.
Then as a speck of hope amidst a night of despair, a white owl flew through the window and sat in front him with a regal air around the little creature.
The owl held out his leg it had a scroll of paper tied with a ribbon. Severus gently opened the letter and read and felt himself going lax. It was from Lily after reading the letter he breathed a sigh of relief, she has said yes. She and potter will meet him. Her letter said,
Severus,
I am really surprised to get a letter from you. What is so important that you have to meet us? Sev I know we have drifted apart and you really don't get on with James but you are still my best friend, a friend I will always cherish. Are you in trouble? Do you need some help? Is it You-Know Who? Meet me at our park at 6pm day after Tomorrow.
James will be coming with me, it's not that I don't trust you but given the current environment and my health condition I really cannot refuse James.
For old times' sake sev, let us put all our differences aside and meet.
Love,
Lily
Severus's eyes remained fixed at love Lily for an extended amount of time. He sighed then got up. He looked at himself, Damn! He was a mess. He has not shaved for quite a few days, his hair looked as if it has seen better days, and given what his hair looked normally, most people can imagine what it looked now.
He went into the bathroom to make himself human again, just for Lily's sake and if potter saw him in this state, he would never hear the end of it.

Albus sat in his office in deep thought, he debated with himself on the feasibility that the prophecy child would be either of the potter's or the longbottom's, he just got the news that they too were expecting a child along the same timeline.
Albus was worried, oh yes! He was so worried, should he tell the expecting parents about the prophecy. He was worried if Tom got a wind of the prophecy.
The prophecy was a official one, it was a matter of time till the department of mysteries will get a wind of it and will be hounding at his door to get the details.
Albus decided to take a walk, as he was crossing hagrid's hut towards the lake that is when he saw a man hurrying towards the castle gates. As he came near, he recognized him as Sturgis Podmore, of class 1965.
"Sturgis! Nice to see you this fine morning. Is everything alright? "
"headmaster, sir I just got news about a prophecy, the book of prophecy was updated and the prophecy was about the dark lord and someone else we donot have the identity!" Sturgis Podmore said in one breath and was panting looking at Albus in fear.
"Do you know the details of the prophecy Sturgis?"
"No, sir only that a prophecy was made".
Albus sighed in relief, alright I will look into it. Sturgis Podmore left and headed towards the gate. But then turned around and said "sir, Lucius malfoy was the birth registry office along with Rowle and someone else. I thought you ought to know"
The relief Albus had felt a minute ago went down the drain and in its place a dread started to bubble over.
No, Tom knew about the prophecy now death eaters are going to hound the birth registry office, day in and day out to know about the children and then those innocent children will be massacred.
Albus turned to return towards the castle with a heavy heart, he has to inform James and Lily along with Frank and Alice to into hiding soon. Once lord Voldemort decides to kill someone, normally they donot survive.

It was the day, the day Severus was waiting for. He donned his best robes and apparated to place near his childhood park. So many memories slammed in front of his eyes just by looking at the swing and the lake. Memories of him and Lily.
He waited for some time and then turned around at the sound of dual almost silent crack of apparition, and he gasped. Lily, his beautiful Lily was practically glowing!. And Potter was standing right beside her with a alert look and his wand out.
Severs waited to compose himself and strengthen his occlumency shields. And walked out of his hiding place to greet his long lost friend.
