Lilly POV

Lilly tied the piece of parchment to Lady, her tawny owl. Lady pecked at her neck affectionately and then flew off into the spring air. The Owlery was a quiet place, besides the soft sounds of the birds, and it was the perfect place to sit and read. Lilly felt as though every minute she was at Hogwarts she was shocked by a new discovery. Today she had brought up Hogwarts a History and the newest edition of the Daily Prophet which she had snitched off the common room table.

Lilly's green eyes graced over the moving pictures, stumbling upon certain words, and she traced the parchment's soft texture. She turned to a random page, hoping to find anything extraordinary. Of course, everything in this world was extraordinary, she thought. The soft springy winds blew the pages lightly and she shivered a bit. She was hoping it would be a bit sunnier today. She really wished for a cup of tea on days like this.

The owlery door rustled a bit and Lilly looked up from her paper. It was just Talley Williams. Talley waved a bit and readjusted her Hufflepuff scarf. Lilly smiled back at her as she carried a long piece of parchment in her hand. Lilly just couldn't stay still today. She stood up from the cold cement floor and walked back down to the grounds.

Severus POV

Severus scooted out of bed, his feet landing on the cool marble floor. He slipped the silver and green Slytherin slippers his mother had sent him onto his bare feet. He had sent Lilly an owl today. He sure hoped she would get it. She was still mad at him for criticizing Gryffindor's uncanny sense of mischief. She just told him he was too uptight and should let loose. Let loose? Severus thought. There was a fire on in the common room and he slithered right next to it, on the leather sofas. It got incredibly cold in the mornings, since the common room was under the lake. Severus scribbled into his notebook a bit until half past eight. His regular routine, he then left for the bath house to the left of the Slytherin house. There was the sound of bath water mixed with small talk.

"I met this girl in the hall," One said. "Small pathetic firs' year she was," He said again. Severus walked silently into the bathroom, readjusting his bathrobe. The other Slytherin nodded. "Gryffindor I think,"

"I asked her what she thought she was doing down in the dungeons this early," The guy sneered. Severus thundered past the door and down the hallway. Lilly was waiting for him by the gargoyle like he asked.

She turned her head toward him and waved pleasantly. She had a light blue cardigan buttoned down to her black mini skirt and her red hair was clipped back with a blue barrette. She snickered at Severus as he got closer and he blushed with embarrassment. "I see you had a late start," she snickered again. Severus looked down at his watch. "What?" he smiled. "It's only 8:45." Lilly's bemused expression made him alight with pink cheeks. "Right," she said. "I forgot you like to sleep in." They walked down the dungeons silently.

"Alright," she said. "I forgive you," and Severus pushed her shoulder playfully. "You finally saw my reason?" He laughed. She smiled. "Yeah," Lilly reclipped her barrette. "I guess they are a bit wild."

"This morning they had levitated Ruby's cat," She frowned. "It's a bit cruel don't you think?" Lilly said. "I mean really!" she yelled. "And they find this all funny!"

Severus strided along. "Yeah, well, Slytherin's got a few tricksters too," Severus said. "This morning they painted 'mudblood' on Eddy's sheets," Severus snickered. "Not to mention the fizzing wizbees planted in his laundry." Lilly's lips pursed together, as though refraining from saying something. "So, how's that monstrous potions paper coming together?" She asked. Severus glowed with pride. "Mine's nearly finished," he said. "I just have one more inch left." Lilly looked shocked. "Already?" She asked bewildered. "He gave it to us barely 5 days ago." Lilly asked, her eyebrows pressed together. She looks very cute when she does that, Severus observed. Even when she's mad she's cute. "Oh, come off it," Severus laughed. "You're probably spending much more time and work on it then I am," he assured her. Lilly was incredibly smart. You couldn't pull her away from the library, Severus thought and again was remind by the way her eyebrows crunched together when she studied. "You're Slughorn's favorite remember," he told Lilly. She blushed and ducked her head. They rounded another corner and began to embark across the staircases "Wanna go see something amazing?" Lilly smiled mischievously. Severus smiled back. They ran quickly up the stairs, Severus following Lilly's feet, as they dodged people back and forth. Lilly laughed as they stumbled into a large suit of armor which then yelled at them for being so careless. "Where are we going?" Severus panted. He was still in his green bathrobe. "I'd ruin the surprise if I told you!" Lilly said as she ran. They cut corners, skipped past hallways, dodged alleys and classrooms. After nearly 3 minutes of running, Lilly stopped in front of a picture of a foggy silver moon. The hallway was deserted and the moon was the only picture on the walls. Lilly and Severus caught their breath before Lilly spoke. "I found this last night," she said brushing her hair away. "You won't believe what's in here," She spoke excitedly and out of breath.

She carefully pushed aside a red curtain on the wall to reveal a small button like flower mounted to the wall. She pulled out her wand and swiftly tapped the flower. The flower coughed a bit and then it slowly grew bigger and bigger until finally it was in the shape of a door. Severus' mouthed gaped at it and Lilly smiled, obviously pleased with his reaction. Severus tried the door but Lilly stopped him. "It's no use," She told him. "It's locked." Her face seemed very amused though. "Luckily, I know the perfect spell," Lilly smiled again. Of course she does, Severus thought. She pulled out her wand and then turned to him. "But, I wanted to wait so I could open it with you," She said. Severus was speechless as he looked at the door. "What do you suppose is in there?" He said, pointing at the door. Lilly just looked at him and shrugged. "Alohamora," she said flicking her wand, and there was a click from behind the door. Lilly smiled as she surveyed her work. She then pushed open the door and gasped. Severus ran forward to have a look and, was also shocked by the contents in the door.
