Winter was still bitter and cold. Most of the students now hung around inside, anything to get away from the chilling winds and snow. Classes were starting and people clustered around the halls, some were running and some were shoving others aside, shouting swears over their shoulders. James and Severus hung back form the chaotic crowd, hands intertwined.

It had been a week since James and Severus got together. It was new to the two boys but they soon got adjusted to it. They kept their relationship a secret due to Severus's request, fearing the other Slytherins would make fun of him or worse.

James respected his request, he had only told Sirius and Remus with Severus's permission. They were shocked nonetheless but they accepted James's decision, after all they came out to him so it was only fair.

Remus however was more shocked than Sirius since he was closer to Severus. To think after all this time James and Severus liked each other, he was still in shock and confused. Love was a strange thing.

As they new couple got closer they learned alot of things that they didn't know about one another. Severus had a bad habit of blushing and with his pale skin it was ridiculously noticeable. James glanced over at Severus as they walked, chuckling when he saw his blush.

"It's really cute that you do that." He said, smiling warmly.

"Shut up." Severus growled. James laughed and tightened his hold on Severus's hand, they only held hands when they were alone in the halls.

"Anyway" Said James, changing the subject "I heard that Remus talked to you about us, how did that go?" Severus stopped walking and stared at James, frowning.

"It was…odd." He said, leaning up against the wall. "I mean he was really shocked. He thought I was crazy or something. I mean, liking you after everything you've done to me. It's still confusing to me as well." He brushed his oily bangs out of his eyes and stared at James, waiting for a response.

"I understand, I wish you could of seen their faces when I told them! Sirius looked like he was going to faint! Priceless!" James boomed, laughing loudly. Severus merely smiled at him, amused.

"I'm sure it was." Severus said softly. James smiled and looked around, making sure no one was near and took Severus's hand again.

"Come on, lets go to class Sev." James now called him Sev, it was a nickname that just stuck to him. Severus didn't mind, infact he kinda liked it. Remus and Sirius even started calling him that. With a smile Severus intertwined his fingers with James and walked by his side to class.

But further away from the new couple a shadow watched them, gray eyes filled with anger and malice. He stepped out from behind the pillar where he was hiding. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"So that's how it is huh Severus?" Lucius Malfoy growled. "So be it." He turned away and stormed off in the other direction.

"So have you guys you know, done it yet?" Sirius asked, leaning forward with a smirk. Severus turned scarlet and buried his face in his book. Remus patted his back, smiling sheepishly. James frowned and punched Sirius in the arm, hard.

"Ow! Don't abuse me! Abuse your little boy toy!" Sirius cried, gaining some looks from some of the other classmates.

"Shhh! Keep your voice down Sirius!" James hissed. Sirius chuckled and leaned back in his seat, smiling still.

"I still can't believe it." He sighed, staring at James and Severus. "I mean of all people for you to be with, it had to be Sev?"

"Is that a problem?" Severus looked up from his book, his blush vanishing slowly. "Well?" He asked, dark eyes narrowing.

"No no not at all!" Said Sirius, a shiver going down his spine. "I meant its still pretty surprising!" Severus sighed and grabbed his belongings, tossing his bag over his shoulder.

"Well I'm done for the day, I'm heading back to my room. I'll see you all tomorrow." With a nod to Remus and James he walked out of the room. James heaved a heavy sigh, resting his head on the table.

"What is it James?" Asked Remus. "Feeling alright?" James sighed again and buried his face in his arms.

"Ya just tired and a little frustrated is all. School stresses me out."

"Maybe you can take care of that frustration with some good old fashioned sex!"

That one earned a textbook thrown at Sirius's head.

Severus rested his hand on the door, glad that he can just collapse onto his bed when he walked in. He opened it and tossed his bag to the floor, kicking his shoes off and walking slowly to his bed. "Finally I can just slee-"

He was cut off as fingers encircled around his throat tightly, lifting him up into the air and throwing him across the room. The air was knocked out of him as his back collided with the wall. He slid to the ground, coughing roughly and clutching his throat.

"How dare you!" Shouted a voice. Severus's vision swam but he made out the figure in front of him. Lucius stood with his hands to his sides, clenched in tight fists. His eyes were dark and filled with anger.

"W-what the hell Lucius?" Severus gasped, standing up slowly. Lucius charged at him again, landing a blow to his face with his fist, sending the small Slytherin crashing down once more.

"How the hell can you do this? Of all things Severus you had to do this? Are you fucking serious!" Lucius shouted. Severus clutched his nose that was now pouring with blood, he stared at Lucius with round eyes.

"W-what are you talking about!" He shouted back. Lucius glared down at Severus, making the slimmer boy shiver.

"James fucking Potter! Are you serious!" Severus's eyes widened even more and he felt his body begin to tremble. His heart was threatening to beat out of his chest.

"I…I don't know what your talking about!" He shouted. Lucius gritted his teeth and pulled out his wand, pointing it at Severus. The small Slytherin stared at the wand, fear spreading across his face.

"Don't you dare lie to me, you piece of shit! Crucio!" A bolt of light shot out of the wand, smashing into Severus's chest. He threw his head back, letting out a blood curdling scream as pain pulsed through him. His nerves felt as if they were being ripped in half. He curled up into a tight ball, tears spilling out of his eyes as his chest began to burn like a fire.

"P…please…s…stop it!" He cried. Lucius kicked Severus across the face, sending more blood pooling down his nose.

"I'm going to make you pay Severus, you will be begging me to kill Potter instead of this by the time I'm done with you."

"CRUCIO!"
